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!

Hi. I'm trying to do something I can't figure out how, so I need some help.
I'm connecting to my server from my Hermes with PocketPuTTY. On my server I have Midnight Commander, which is easy to use etc. The only problem is I'm missing some keys on the keyboard, especially the arrow keys, which are not mapped with the same scancodes as a PC appearantly, and the function keys F1-F10.
So I'm looking for 2 things: 1) A program that can map scancodes to the keyboard, and 2) the actual scancodes for the arrow keys and function keys on a PC so I know what to map.
Any help here is greatly appreciated. I also want to know if what I want to do is possible at all, at the moment I'm not too sure it can be done...
Thanx, Artur
maybe this could lead you in the right direction

or searchs like it
one can always test an ascii value by holding down alt and typing the dec value
Is there any way to program the on screen keyboard (on page 9/9) to program some of the blank available keys with ESC, END, CTRL and F1 - F12? They are currently not used and I can not find an application that will give me these key functions anywhere. I need them for a DOS program I am running via a gotomypc connection.
Ok, I searched around for about an hour, and must not be using the right search term or something. Anyway,
I have an HTC HD2, and i'm trying to run gotomypc with it (and pandora). I can run both, but i have to map the hardware button to my input panel in order for it to come up in either application. Thats all well and fine, except i also like the default long press key option that brings up my voice command. (And for those that don't have an HD2, there is only 1 mappable hardware key). So i have to jump back and forth on button assignments to use applications.
So point is, i installed AE Button Plus, and it appears to be able to do the trick, yet i can't find what file to point the assigned long press button too. Where is "input panel"/aka SIP located at/what directory?
Or does someone have an easier suggestion for mapping a previously unassignable hardware key to the SIP?
Thanks in advance!
Im curently using a half size bluetooth keyboard paired to my phone (nexus 4) which is running RemoteDroid. That is used to forward keystrokes to my PC. Why? because I have a broken collarbone and cant use my fullsize wired keyboard properly So im using my phone as an intermediate device (BluetoothK/B->Phone->WiFi->PC) to be able to use the bluetooth keyboard. Putting the phone in close proximity to the K/B means It has a much better range and signal quality via WiFi. The phone itself also has a better bluetoooth receiver than any laptop or desktop USB bluetooth receivers ive tried, giving much more reliable keystrokes at higher typing speed than gong straight to PC
The problem is some of the keys dont work correctly and I believe its because Android is interpreting them differently. i.e. 'Tab/Delete/Insert/Home/End/num +/ num -.. etc' dont get forwarded to the PC,And some keystrokes are simply incorrect` i.e. the right shift key acts more like CTRL for some things. Shift+2 becomes " instead of @ (need to press alt 2 instead) and so on
In addition I have a touchpad on the little keyboard and that only works in a limitted fashion
Is there an app out there that can 'grab' the Android inputs of a device and remap them? so i.e. mouse click could be emulated as pressing the Enter key if I so wished
Additionally` is there a progam that can forward these 'raw inputs' to a PC via USB/WiFi/Bluetooth? remotedroid does indeed forward some inputs of key presses as best it can (arrow keys for instance) but it seems to do it 'after' the android OS (i.e. alt+tab makes the android program switch applications, rather than forwarding the 'alt' and 'tab' keys to the PC)
It does not however forward mouse inputs (havnt tried gamepad) so its not possible to use a mouse or trackpad as intended. I have to emulate a screen press (hold left click on trackpad and move the cursor across the remotedroid screen)
Hope the above makes sense, and yes im aware I could simply bluetooth directly to the PC but wheres the fun in that?
