Hi,
I'm coming from a Dell x51v, a really great device. My Blackstone will arrive in the next days, so I'm reading through all the great stuff here in order to be prepared for my new device .
I'm wondering if there is any application like "Wireless Power" for the x51v. This application makes it possible to enable/disable the wifi and bluetooth with pressing just one button. By pressing the button more often it is possible to enable/disable the wifi and bluetooth separately, so you really need only this one button for any connections. For those of you, who don't know the program, just take a look here.
I know that the Blackstone has phone and gps functionalities beside the bluetooth and wifi ones, but maybe there is something similar for the Blackstone, or any other HTC. I know that it is possible to assign certain buttons with certain actions, but not in that clear way, where the application is indicating the state of your connections.
Best regards

Is there nobody able to help me out ?
I don't have a blackstone myself but the touch hd doesn't have many buttons to begin with. You could assign a button to the comm manager (i suggest using h-button, you can assign multiple programs to one button) and access everything from there. Otherwise it may be accomplishable through mortscript mouse click actions, but i have not seen a program that assigns all the comm manager actions to a single button.

Is there a way to map one of the buttons or make a shorcut or something so you can turn bluetooth on and off with it.
Or better yet, is there a way to make bluetooth always on when the phone is charging.
Thanks as always
I'm not aware of any app to map bluetooth activation to a button press, but there is an application that will turn on/off bluetooth depending on your physical location. Check it out here.
This isn't a question for the ROM Development forum. In the future, please avoid asking these types of questions here.
Thanks!
Like Alex said, this is better posted in the Kaiser General Forum. In that forum I found the following post: HERE
The app CircleBT can be installed and then assigned to any button you want. I have it assigned to Button 6 Long Press and VibraSwitch (another great program) assigned to just Button 6.
Won't help w/ the Bluetooth on while charging question, but hopefully it will do you some good.
I want to map the green "phone" ("send") button to work as speakerphone with long keypress when phone is used, but I can't find any info.
OTOH I notice most ROMs use long press for this button and map usually wireless managers, which would be fine if it would work that way only when phone is not in use (and 'restore' the speakerphone function for long press when phone is in use) but I have not seen such solution yet. Has anyone done/try this?

Hi,
Deleting Long_Send.lnk might restore original function of long press send key sir,.
Hope it help,.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can have two different functions based on context. AdvancedConfig has an option to map pretty much anything to the long send.

Well, I was thinking about something more complex than I can do myself, hence my post here.
Idea is to make a small applet which will switch the function of the button based on the processes running (or other ways to determine it) and assigning different shortcut to this button. I.e. when the phone is connected it will assign speakerphone to the "send - long press", when phone is not in use it would redirect "send - long press" to the wireless manager, if you know what I mean (sorry my english); so virtually mapping the "green" button to this app could achieve that, no?
intersted also in your send key LKP!!

Bump....
I also want exactly the same setup! Great minds think alike!
Your mention about the wireless manager sounds a handy idea also, and I am at present having to use a long keypress on the left hand hardware 'record' button. This is fine, but I also have it mapped to normal press = audio record. But want to use it for something else at some point.The more buttons free the better. To be able to have the sent button act on a long key press to work the speakerphone seems to me like something that should actually be in place by default. I mean, what better way to start the speakerphone!!
I do hope someone is able to shed some light on this, or you manage to pull it off yourself you can count me in to try the fix etc.
PS:: Would a MORT SCRIPT help in this situation I wonder? I am not familiar with MS but sure someone may know a way round it.

Thanks for your kind support
I wrote about this year or more ago on another forum, but few responses I got were discouraging at best.
I think if we could do such "app", we could use it for all the buttons and change their "assignments" based on the currently running apps...
With scripts we can do things like rename "Long_Send.lnk" into "Long_Send.disabled" (for example) instantly, and rename it back to "Long_Send.lnk" when i.e. pressed again. But the problem is that I don't know how to "detect" and use it in the scripts what is currently running and discriminate between foreground and background processes that are currently running?
Because what if you have two (or more!) programs that are using the same button assignments but for different purposes and both are running in the same time? say you are on the phone talking - thus long_send is assigned to speakerphone, and you also run (for example) windows media player where you assigned same green button to fullscreen display? The scripts cannot tell which one is running in the foreground by themselves, and (in this example) holding green button could bring the WMP to fullscreen instead of turning on speakerphone. Beforewe use mortscript to "activate" apropiate script, we need to know which process was started last (so - per my example - we would know that the phone was last started and not the WMP, and mortscript would run "speakerphone script for green button" instead of "fullscreen wmp script for green button"... and there is another problem: the phone is always ON on our PocketPCs since boot, and it is running all the time in the background, so it will have to differentiate between phone being active and phone in the "waiting" state...). Apologies if I sound incomprejensible, I tried to make it clearer but I don't know is it less gibberish
to cut it short: I don't think it can be done with simple scripts. But of course I may be wrong.
In theory it should work this way:
1 Long_Send.lnk -> starts our "app"
2 "App" checks what program is currently running on the screen (in the forground, or last started etc)
3 "App" executes apropiate action assigned for this program (i.e. speakerphone for active phone call, or wireless manager for today screen, etc etc)
4 "App" releases/removes/disables the action from previous step and changes it back to the state it was before when the foreground program is closed (i.e. changes back long_send from assignment to speakerphone back to default once the phone call ended)
sounds simple, doesn't it?
I'm currently running m2d on my polaris. I was wondering if there was a method for me to map one of the buttons on the phone so that it will open the phone profile windows (ie. normal, vibrate, silent). Its somewhat of a hassle to have to change the profile since it requires several button presses to do so.
Also, another idea would be to have a program that ran in the background and each time you pushed a mapped button on the phone, it would cycle through the different profiles. This way, you might not have to look at the phone when you want to change the profile (food for thought). Not sure if anybody or company has come up with this yet.
"long press end key"... an HTC software, changes between unmuted and vibrate. i use it all the time.
you can also find the shorts to switch between profiles in the forum and map it to hardware buttons (and even use cycles) using HButton
Probably it has been already asked but i cannot find anything with the search funcion...
Where can i find the .exe files that simply turn on or off a connection?
I mean the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3g and similar.
Are there in the forum such kind of files?
I'm not a programmer, i'd like to have those files to associate them with buttons.
Thanks
AE Button Plus
You can map keys with a lil program called AE Button Plus which you can map to a program or do something like wifi on/of bluetooth etc.
If you dont have a touch screen beware as you may be looking at a hard reset.
Go to the website in my signature then ctrl + f for aeb
Have a look at Fabliv's Action Screen

Not excatly what you're asking, but mich be the answer you want.
Thank you mcspikesky for linking me AEbutton, i know that but is not exactly what i'm looking for;
i need executable that can also run with softkey association...
Thank you also to k1sr, this is really interesting...
However i found VJvolubilis that for wi-fi and bluetooh works well.
I only need .exe (or .lnk) that turn on/off the Phone.
I tried VJPhoneToggle but it doesn't shut down the phone...
Friends,
Reviewed the different apps out there butlet, hbutton, etc. Don't think these are what I am after.
I am using Monx rom ROMEos and the side button is for camera and voice commander. I didn't see the option to map wifi,bt,comm mgr, to the other buttons like home, dial, end button etc?
What I am after is simple - either a gesture where I can launch bt/wifi on/off or a button reassign.
Please help!

well people?
i need help here.... been trying out different apps, diamond tweaks/config and having problems here..
tvos
use butler
it turns the capacitive area into a 4 way program launcher
plus it lets you have different keyboards assigned for when stylus is out or in
and if you just want a launcher for bt/wifi
get the action screen some have those as options then map it to a softkey
do i need mortscript to use with butlet? been trying to avoid MS for the longest.. hate adding more apps to my ppc.
right now, my soft keys are programmed for something else. hence, wanted to use a bt/wifi on/off toggle vs. having to scroll all the way over to comm mgr,
please assist,
tvos
