hi,
actually, i can assign any of the phone buttons, but they still don't work in the game. anyone know how i can get it to work? registry/system hack or something?
thanks,
msafi,
What do they do when you assign and press the keys?

vijay555, they do nothing. nothing at all.
this problem is consistent not only with PocketNester, but also with any other application. the phone buttons aren't assign-able to any functionality. again, they may be assigned successfully, but they still woudn't work when you try to actually use them.
fixing this problem would add a lot to my device's functionality.
msafi: what device are you using, and what OS? You might consider setting these details in your profile to make it easier to respond, or post in a more specific thread. However, generally, consider using the application AEButtonPlus to make the red and green phone buttons assignable.
You can use my program VJKeyPress to assign certain keys to the red and green keys, and then assign them using PocketNester (hopefully).

vijay555, thanks for the reply. i''m using HTC Wizard with WM5 of course. AE button plus isn't compatible,
so in light of this new information, do you still recommend VJKeyPress?
thanks
Are you sure AEButtonPlus isn't compatible? I'm using a universal and it's ok, but I'm sure a few guys are using it on the Wizard.
However, if not AEButtonPlus, I think buttonMax might be compatible.
VJKeypress is merely to assign a notional key to the red/green buttons. These buttons normally generate an F4 and F5 (I think) keycode, but while the cprog.exe app is running, this will intercept them. So either kill the phone app (VJPhoneToggle will do that) or assign new keypresses to them using AE etc and VJKeyPress.

i tried closing the phone application by using VJPhoneToggle but that didn't produce the desired effect.
ae button plus works with HTC Wizard but it screws up the hold button.
any how, i tried ae button plus and was able to assign the green/red buttons to different functions. i tried assigning them to <None> then using them with PocketNester, but that didn't produce any good results. I tried assigning them <start menu> or <Ok/Close> and then assigning those in PocketNester by using the qwerty keyboard, but that still didn't work.
anyway, there is something i'd like to try. i want to assign the red button to a VJKeyPress which will press the Explorer key, and assign the explorer key to the button i want in the emulator.
the problem is, i don't know how to use VJKeypress. after i download and install the file, how do i run it with commandline shortcut? or what's a commandline shortcut?
thanks,
ok, i figured out how to use vjtools and command lines.
however, i couldn't determine the parameter number to pass to vjkeypress to simulate a hardware button press. for example, what is the parameter number that will simulate a press on the Explorer button of my HTC Wizard?
what i tried in PocketNester is: i assigned the Windows Key of my Wizard's qwerty to the B button of PocketNester. Then i assigned a vjkeypress.exe 91, which is a start menu click, to the red phone button, but that didn't produce the desired effect, of course, since i didn't really tie the red button to the Windows Key of my qwerty keyboard. i just made the two buttons have the same functionality!!
if i know what the Explorer button parameter is, i will try it.
I'm not really familiar with the keyboard of the Wizard, never used one.
There's obviously a long list of keycodes on my website, but have you tried assigning any test key and tried that in PocketNester? Obviously if the basic idea doesn't work, there's no point in you perservering with this route!

I have tried a number of different jblend and jbed versions to launch java games on my touch dual. Almost all of them either produced errors, didnt launch or install the java files. I finally found one that worked which was a version of jbed called JRebeiro Esmertec Jbed which has a build ID: 20071119.3.1. This one launched all the java files perfectly.....
However, the only problem now is that I can't use the soft keys! I can use the D-pad and the keypad (numbers) to navigate through the menus, but the left/right soft keys don't work. For example, if I run Need for speed pro street, the first option is whether or not to enable sound. The 'yes' and 'no' icons show, but I cant select either soft key so I cant continue!!
I tried searching the forum and read through the whole 'midlet bible' thing but didnt find anything conclusive!
Does anyone know a solution? or even a midlet manager that has the soft keys working?

Strange, in my 3.1 copy (did you use the same as me? http://www.winmobiletech.com/092007MidletBible/JRebeiro_EsmertecJbed_20071119.3.1.zip ) works just great on my (several) Pocket PC's.
If it doesn't work at all, get Cloudyfa's 2.1: http://www.winmobiletech.com/092007MidletBible/Jbed.zip
First of all, thanks for the reply.
I had the same versions as you just showed and I had also previously tried Cloudyfa's version too. I tried out the ones you posted anyway just to be safe but I had the same problem on both...no soft keys. (BTW, The soft key buttons on screen work in the Jbed main screen, its just when I launch a java game that I cant select or use the soft keys).
What buttons do you use as the soft keys?
The only buttons left on my touch dual apart from the number pad is the start and end call buttons, the navigation/D pad, the volume up and down keys and the camera button. Only the navigation/d-pad buttons seem to when I launch a game in Jbed, but the other keys function as normal (if i press the call button, the phone dialer appears, or if i press the camera button, it launches the camera).
So are the soft key buttons on the touchscreen (icons shown on the touchscreen) meant to work? Or is the touch dual lacking the necessary buttons?

oic. I've always used hardware buttons; no wonder in-game softkeys don't work (they aren't supposed to).
use a button redefiner; for example, AEBPlus, to map left/right softkey functionality to the existing buttons (for example, Camera)
Thanks for that. I finally solved it!
I went and got AEBplus like you said and I noticed it showed the left and right soft keys eventhough there arent any on the touch dual. Then I went to check the actual buttons option in the windows setting tab and found that I can map some of the shortcut buttons as left/right soft keys! Everything works perfectly now. Just got to find the right buttons to map the left/right soft keys.
Finally solved that problem! I'm surprised no one mentioned this anywhere else.....probably because its a touch dual specific problem.

Hi all! Just a question, can I assign the device lock function found in the today screen to a hardware button? I'm referring to the device lock function that comes with the default windows mobile which we can choose to make it appear at the today screen. It's one of the plugin in the today screen.
i remember using this app called ae button plus. check out this link:
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
the app essentially expands the coverage and functionality of the hardware buttons. if you'll go through the list of functions, it can lock your device but it's only for wm5. i haven't tried this with wm6...though i'm not sure if an updated version has been released. i used this before when my athena was still in its original wm5 rom. but after upgrading to wm6.5, never found the use for it. secondly, didn't really use the app given that my athena, when closed, had the keyboard protecting the screen from accidental touches.
you could also try hbutton:
http://hbutton.dyndns.org/
haven't used it myself but i do know it can assign auto-screen rotation. not sure if the drop-down menu (when installed) will have screen lock on it. but essentially it works like ae button plus. and the 2 best parts of it: it works on wm6 and is freeware =)
hope that helps
Thanks! I will check it out.
Hi
I think every pocket putty user knows the problem. It happens only when using screen application - page up and page down keys are treated the same as the up/down keys, and up/down keys give me number 1 and 2 instead of what they should do...
I even remember I downloaded some modified version of pocketputty, where it was fixed. I think it was even on xda-developers, but I've been now looking for months and haven't found anything... Does anyone have this version? Or maybe there's some other way to fix this problem?
Hi,
i look for it for a long time and i can't find it :
how to attribute a function to a button ?
In settings, there is no buttons available though there is 5 hardware buttons !!!
For exemple, i'd like to attribute task manager or task facade to the long press home button, is it possible ?
thanks
up...
nobody is interested in attributing hardware buttons ?
Yes I am interesting too
I used aebutton plus to assign MS Voice Command to long press windows button. That worked fine, although I haven't used it on any other buttons.
Well, the hardware buttons already have set functions. So assigning things to them would be a little bit complex within the settings. That's why they aren't there.
I imagine you would need to use a third party application, and even then you could only assign long presses to the keys.
Long press would be nice though
Pantaloonie, does everything run fine with aebutton and HD2?
Yes, it does what I want it to do, although as I said I only added long press windows key.
It was a little bit fiddly with aebp's small menus on the capacitive screen, but I got there after several attempts.
Now when I start the aebp program, I get an error message reading "Once you set AEBPlus to process Windows button you may also need to re-define following buttons also:"Button 1(Hold)", "OK Key"."
I haven't done as it says, and everything works perfectly.
Cool, thanks I might give it a spin then
Here's a guy who's tried AE Button Plus with HD2 pretty thoroughly it seems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603186
I just installed it and mapped the windows hard button with long press to task facade. It worked just fine, but it seems the button lost the original function which is to access the start menu on single tap. I dont mind it so much though, I might as well use the the soft start button in the upper left corner. The important thing is that multi tasking now works without having to go through the today screen.
