I was wondering, since I flashed my device pretty quickly I noticed that in landscape mode the icons only bring you to section (go to sms, go to email) instead of starting you off on creating (i.e. new sms new email) is this just how it is in all touch pro roms? it seems that the images on the web show different. I have noticed this in the fire rom and dcs, just wanted to see if this was a change or this is even how it is in the stock rom for everyone.
I apologize if this should be in the rom dev forum, wasn't sure so I figured this was the safe bet.
yes thats what it does, it assumes that as you have the qwerty slid out you intend to compose a message/note/email etc.
so for you it shows compose icons? i guess it just got changed in the custom roms

I have a few basic questions about my phone, and somethings I hope to do to it. I have the AT&T Fuze phone, still on AT&T also.
My questions are:
~Is there a way to remap keys (mainly the PTT button) without having a custom ROM?
~Can I alter the bottom slide icons order, current order is home-people-mail-etc.
~The home screen with the keyboard slide out, is there a way to change what these icons do or launch? Ex. Web search, can I change the default web search? Can I reassign messages to go to the IM program?
I was hoping to not have to do a custom ROM for any of these, a bit of background. I had both iPhone's prior to this and did all the jailbreaking/unlocking (still do for others), and with WinMo I feel I can do all this work but it already lets me do so much. Just a few simple changes and I would be set.
Thanks for any help.
everyone is going to tell you search, but basically you can do all that stuff...i would recommend flashing your phone with a new ROM and installing tf3d config
check out blownfuze.org pw is xda/xda as well as searching the forums for more answers

Thank you, I have attempted some searches and mostly come up with custom roms. If anyone has links to how to do these things, it will surely help just as much.

PTT button remap -- go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445498&page=1
Reorder icons -- use TF3D config get it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Remap landscape icons -- many are working on this. Stay tuned.
I also suggest you read the wiki.
has there been a way to change these yet?
such as contacts id like to have it launch icontact and the notes one to launch evernote
Yes, when I've tried different TouchFlo themes, some have changed, for example, the email button so that it opens a new email instead of opening the inbox.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do it yet, however my guess is that you need to search the forums about making changes to the 'manila' files that reside in your Windows directory.
In the short term, I can however tell you how to change the two landscape soft keys (I have one set to open a new SMS to my girlfriend - barf - and the other toggles wifi on and off.....

So I've got the ameo just done all my updates now running WM6.5 With 1.58
Trying to find a good skin/theme but the screenshots of the themes and whats actually displayed on my phone are completely different.
I cant seem to get the look I want.
I'm after that Manila 2.1 thats on the forum but it wont install or run.
I do have a theme installed but the home page widgets dont display properly its just a scroll bar with each section (voice mail, email etc)
Are there specific themes for my device?
First, specify for what the theme should be - Titanium, Manila or OS itself?
Then, instead of opening a new thread, leave a comment in the thread where you got the theme from, so it's more likely to get an answer.
hey thabks for replying I don't really know the difference between the three types but I want the one like that manila
at the minute my today page is a long list of text but I want the one with the big. clock
Hi, I am currently using HD2 with an officall WWE ROM.
As things are working alright to me so far, I have no intention to get into the business of flashing just yet (not until a year of play around with it before i feel bored~! lol)
However I found the built-in dialer of this offical ROM abit too small, causing wrong dialling sometimes. I have aware that there are a few clever guys who worked on diallers with a much user-friendly interface (such as bigger keys for the number pad, idialer to name one), I found that most of them require to install the whole thing replacing the old, therefore losing the original layout from the offical rom (such as the call history + phonebook interface), which i am quite please with.
So I am here to ask, as I aware that the number pad on the offical dialler could be hidden and I though there must be some setting that limiting it to such a small size, is there any mod or registry setting that I could do or change to make the dialling pad/number pad (whichever why you call it) full screen size, while maintaining the ability to hide inside the offical dialling interface?
THX very much!
You might have better luck in the HD2 forum section. There's probably a thread on dialers there already.
Thanks for your reply, will also try over there~
cheers
So I want to star using a landscape soft keyboard for a bit, as I may be in the early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome. I want to use swype to avoid tapping.is this possible? It looks like sammy locked us out of landscape mode, ignoring that some pripley might enjoy it once in a while.
Edit: I just tried slideIT, and it looks like that may be unable to go into its normal landscape mode as well. Why does samsung insist on locking people out of the native soft keyboard just because we have hard keys? They did it on the epic as well, but my old lg ally still used the soft key in landscape If I didnt open the phone.
Yes, this was disabled by samsung, and therefore would need a very extensive mod/customized rom to have that possibility added. So, to answer your question, no, we can't do that.
WOW thats stupid.*adds to list of reasons to never buy a samsung phone again*
that list is gonna be so big it'll crash your hard drive.
That really sucks, you would think that they would enable it for people like Falkner, (Sorry for your condition) or for easy access, because not everybody like to slide the screen up for something simple... or put it in portrait for the matter.
I found out that GoKeyboard will work in landscape.
However, when I used it it kept trying to auto-correct into chinese or something... anyways, give it a try.
also, GoLauncher is AMAZING with smooth maximus rom
I'm rooted, would smooth maximus allow me to use landscape soft keyboards? Also, I just had a thought and went into the system directory, and under system/usr, I found folders labeled keychars and keylayout, with .bin and .kl files inthem with names like qwerty, keypad, touchkey, and so on. Is it possible that modding one of those files could unlock the landscape keyboard?
Landscape soft keyboards were disabled by Samsung by not building them into the firmware, rather than by the rom. We would need to mod the entire firmware, much more in-depth than anything we have currently to be able to have a landscape soft keyboard.
