Selecting multiple entries in WM6.5 - General Questions and Answers

Does anyone know if it's possible to click and drag to select multiple entries in a list in 6.5? I know with HTC Touch Flo, you could either use your finger to scroll or your fingernail to select ... Is there something similar in 6.5?

Im running wm6.5 on my Elf, and dragging my finger works fine, even with the kinetic scrolling

You are able to select text? Please explain how you are doing it because I have been playing with the WM6.5 kitchen on my TP for a few days and I can't seem to select anything by dragging ... Dragging will always instantly pan regardless of pressure or speed unless it's in one of the few apps that I have noticed disable drag panning altogether ... (like notes)
Also I've been unable to find any registry keys that affect the kinetic interface in WM6.5 ... If the OP could give more details on the registry keys that seemed to have an affect, I would appreciate it.

very easy ... open the keyboard .. press ctrl and go on selecting the files. you can also use the shift and select a serious of files by click the first and last file.
i use an artemis 6.5 and it works for me

I also have this problem. I can't select several files on explorer. I have an HTC HD2, and since it has a HTC keyboard that doesn't have the Shift and Control keys, every time I try to select more than one file it pans the list. Using the keyboard seems impossible. This only happens if the list is bigger than the screen. Otherwise it works fine. It is very annoying specially when organizing or deleting multiple files.
I used to have an HTC with an older version of windows mobile with a standard keyboard which worked fine even with shortcuts like Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V.
Anyone knows how to fix this?...or is there a different keyboard, that has the shift and control keys?

Install the standard Microsoft soft keyboard will bring the ctrl and short key. The cab installer is available on this site, please try the 'search' button. For resouce organize puppose, also can install a light and handy app called Total Commander, use its 'virtual 2 windows' view and it also brings a ctrl button to use in the program.

1. nope - the only app to support the SP platform, AEBPlus, doesn't support app-specific settings
2. yes, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337602
Menneisyys i just wanted to change the Vox's QuickNotes hardware button to point to Vito Audionotes... will i be able to do it in any manner?
I don't know Vox, but usually there is a ??.lnk file (with ?? as the name of the button, or something like short_ap1.lnk), that is just a shortcut to the app.
Just edit the shortcut; I open the lnk file with vieka wordpad...

Shortcuts on Keyboard (like PQZ)?

Is it possible to assign shortcuts to the keyboards e.g. to start programs? On my Universal I'm using the program PQZ to realize that. Does it work on the Rapahael too?

I guess PQz should work on the raphael too.....can you check if it does?

I don't have a Raphael yet. Can someone else try it, please?
Regards,
Jogi
It already has shortcuts like sms/email/comm manager/internet etc... and when in email or text you have foward/reply etc shortcuts.
hope that helps
What I mean is to define shortcuts of your own (e.g. a combination of keys like Ctrl+e to launch excel). That's (and other things) is possible with PQZ.

I too am in the same situation! I'm still waiting for the raphael to launch here locally.
I used PQz extensively on my universal and am really waiting to hear if it works good on the raphael too...
cheers,
San
I have just tried installin the WM6 version and it crashed and reset itself. Looks like you might have to wait for an updated version guys
PQzII also crashes on mine. However AEKMap works fine to set up CTRL+something for launching (http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php). The configuration is a bit complicated, you need to set up a keyboard map file and for instance add
Exec 0002 "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"
Key 0233 e0002 ; Execute PocketInformant by pressing Ctrl+3
All the keycodes follow a simple scheme, i.e.
A=0041
CTRL+A=0241
B=0042
CTRL+B=0242
and so on... with a few exceptions for letters J-O which are
004A-004F
before continuing with P=0050
What I haven't found out yet though is how to start links (not .exe) or pass command line options: for instance the link
69#"\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe" tasks -new
should start PocketInformant with the new task dialogue (would love to have that on CTRL+T). Simply putting
Exec 0002 "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe tasks -new"
does NOT do the job for me.
I installed the Kaiser version (0.0.8e) and so far it appears to be running fine. Can't seem to get it to point to any location besides the storage card, however.
Please let me know if you have any trouble on your Raphael.
Hi all,
I'm an author of PQzII and just got my Raphael.
So, please let me know if you have trouble on Raphael.
I would be happey to hear your voices.

Hi Tom,
great program! Firstly, which version should we use? I followed fhsieh and installed the Kaiser version... It works mostly fine. However it crashes when I try to activate the PQzII task through the Touch Flow 3D task manager. The volume keys don't work like before: if you push them once, the volume dialogue pops up, but then you can't use them to change the volume (once you push them again the dialogue disappears)...
Cheers Dan
Tom,
Is there any way to specify a transparency color for the icon bitmap file? The icon overlay shows up on top of most windows. I would like the icon to be transparent unless PQzII is either in CTRL or ALT mode.
Also, have you been able to map the CTRL or ALT modes to the TXT or envelope keys without Pocket Outlook launching. Mapping the SYM key (0xE6) appears to trigger the CTRL or ALT modes without launching the built-in symbol application.
Thanks.
Tan

Fingerkeyboard doesn't work on HD2 :/

Hello, I can't install Fingerkeyboard on my new HTC HD2. When I try install i got a msg "instalation unsuccessful". Any solution of this problem??
I have it and it works perfectly :/
for me too its working fine.
Can You send my your .cab? I try version 2.0 and 2.1 and instalation doesn't start Where is the problem? I don't install .net frame work yet.
Also works for me, however when backspaceing (deleting) it seems to skip some characters. A bit odd, but I guess the timings are just off a little...
I had a lot of problems with Finger Keyboard on the Leo/Sense Roms and HTC's messaging app. If I used the shortcuts such as a smiley, on some of them, the cursor would jump backwards after the smiley was shown.... It bothered me so much I went ahead and disabled HTC's app and used the standard windows one (and by doing so lost all integration with the contacts tab)
Can someone here who has this app please test the shortcuts for me on their Leo? I get mine in a week.... I can live with the HTC messaging but I simply can't do without the shortcuts like the ".com", "..." and smileys! I hope it works!
Thanks!

I dwnload form other source and now it's works. Thx
I get an error when I want to use FingerKeyboard on my HD2
The error says:
"Skin error: resolution for screen size not found!"
SOLVED: Found out that it was the wrong screen type version.

I have exactly the same problem. Actually, it does that issue each time I hint something else than A...Z : space, dot, coma, @ etc. each time, I have to wait 1 second before typing the rest, if I don't, the cursor jump back and I continue typing in the middle of the word if I didn't care. It's really a mess.
I have a Touch HD "1", with Geranium 6.5 rom. I thought Opera Mobile 10 was guilty, but I've juste realized the same issue while entering a new appt in Pocket Informant.

Finger keyboard doesnt work for HD2 .. can install but cant work well. Dont install till it comeout with new version ..

Taskicons in lower right corner with Sense not accessible anymore

I recently got a HD2 with WM 6.5. A few existing programs from MW 6.0/6.1-era work with taskicons in the lower right corner. This is useful and required for the operation of these programs.
Now on the HD2 with Sense, these taskicons do not show anymore and therefore these programs become largely unusable, some can be opened thru the taskmanager, but some do not even appear there, even though they run fine in the background.
How can I keep Sense and have access to the Taskicons all at the same time?
Thanks for your input.

I assume from your picture that the icons are the standard today screen plugins. Your best bet is to just add those programs to the quicklauch shortcut buttons that you can access from the Home Tab, then you can access them by just clicking on the linked button. If you need more than the 9 standard buttons then there are mods for 16, 20 or 25 shortcut buttons which should be more than you need.
There's also some toggle apps that will allow you to switch between Sense and Today from on of your softkeys. There's a few about - just have a search

Enabling some HTC/TouchFLO features only

Hi,
I've been using my HTC Touch2 for a while now.
I decided to turn of the TouchFLO homescreen as it seems to use a lot of my free memory. I use a customized (used Home Screen Customizer - free from the marketplace) , default WM6.5 home screen now. It makes it faster ^^
The indicator raised from 45% to 70% in a day with all apps closed...
But TouchFLO also had a nice additional feature - all 'dropdown menu's ' or whatever you'd call it on a phone became way more touch friendly. (Those that open when holding your finger in file explorer for example, or when you click file in pocket word)
Is there a way to enable these menu's without enabling touchFLO?
I also prefer the HTC settings panels, that were only accessible from the TouchFLO home screen. I already found the sound settings (htcsoundsettings.exe) but I wonder if anyone knows more .exe files - for selecting backgrounds etc. Or a list of all files in the windows folder by default - it takes ages to load, when sorting is accidently set to 'File type' it takes like 15 minutes sometimes...
Also I'd like to add links to the settings menu of the start menu but so far I've only been able to add icons to the start menu or other subfolders and not the settings one
Thanks in advance,
JSO
Have you tried M2DCustomizer? If you mean saving up battery u might wana try custom roms
No, thank you for the link I'm sure it will help me.
But it didn't really help me out with my question - can I keep just the dropdown menu's without anabling TouchFLO/Manila2D from the Home Screen settings...

Hello, having read your message hope I understand well. You want a combination of features but foremost a lot of free Ram. Touch flow takes if I am correct 8-12Mb which your device should be able to handle.
This tweak will help you with Ram consumption aswell as regular soft reset or Ram cleaner.....several available on XDA.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemS ize=0 (Increase free memory)
I agree with member Deepak that choosing a custom Rom offers best of both worlds. But also here you have to make the choice Touch flow or not.....having only parts is not possible (unless built in Rom).
Thanks all for your effort, but I think I finally found something:
/showthread.php?t=540922 (can't post link because my account is not approved )
This allows me to disable touchFLO while still using the nice menu's; downloading right now
Yeah, used this on my previous Rom (WM 6.1) aswell. Was not happy with the result since it did not work flawless.....dissappear after soft reset, not working with some programs etc.
But see if it works for you. Success.
