Just got my first Raphael and was wondering if it was possible to reprogramme some of the keys, so when I press FN and A I get another letter like Á.
/Carl
you know i was thinking about that the other day. maybe a way to utilize fn+ the unused letter keys to put in some characters that are not on the keyboard. like adding \ or tab or control keys. if anybody has a solution.

YES!!! That's exactly what I'm looking for. I hope it's out there somewhere. Haven't been able to find it yet.
/Carl
me too
i also wants that kind of remaping.
And make programs open by the same function would be awesome too, but i tryed some search here, but didnt found anything D:
Upcoming version (1.3) of this cute software will have this feature, so stay tuned:

Hello everybody,
I just ordered my HTC Touch Pro and I expect to receive it tomorrow. Having played a bit with the Diamond, I already noted that switching from my Trinity will cause some changes from the hardware buttons perspective.
I'd like to know what's the best available software out there (commercial or freeware, doesn't matter) to remap the buttons of the device, and enables features like single press, "double-click", press-n-hold-short, press-n-hold-long, etc.
Thanks a million in advance.
I am also concerned about the same
I did some checking around and have these two apps for you to test
I didn't try'em out yet
And there's a third AEButton or something
I'll get it as well
Tell me how it goes

I have used this with my Kaiser and Hermes:http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php and I think it's pretty good.
I have a similar question, but not completely.. Is it possible to do any kind of keyboard mapping without any software? Just like altering the registry or something. I would like to get ctrl or FN + o to do ö and ctrl or fn + a to do ä. But i absolutely hate to run any mapping software..
AEButton Plus is awesome for mapping buttons... Check it out.

I seriously doubt you could use a quick reg edit to do that... But good luck.
Thanks man
had version 2.5.2
Hopefully will come in handy when I get my hands on my Raph
Which buttons did you remap?

I received my Touch Pro yesterday and I directly tried the apps you provided. Hbutton works only on the lower right key (open phone app), while the other doesn't work at all... I'm going to try AE Button and let you know what that gives.
I think currently both the Home and the Back keys can't be remapped -- without touching to the ROM, I mean.
green button
there is a dialer app (idialer) it has an add-on called greenbutton.cab it allowed me to hit the send/call key and bring up idialer instead of built in dialer from that key. I'd like to be able to do that for other dialers like OneDialer. I wish I knew some coding maybe modify the greenbutton app to work for me.
DCD's latest 2 CDMA ROMs (2.27 & 2.30) both allow you to remap all the hardware keys. Not sure how he did it though, but feel free to check them out. His ROMs are usually pretty lean, so you can install whatever you want, without much pre-installed bloat.
i was thinking about my mogul and the keyboard there is nice since there is an OK key, START key and two option keys. I wish there was a way where we could remap the ****ion keys. God knows i don't need the Euro, t9, british pound. If we could remap a couple of those keys or add a couple say to ZXCV i think it would make the key board perfect. that way if sensor lock is enabled i don't have to unlock to do what i'm trying to do.

you could always try ae button plus
PQzII will get the job done for free. Just don't assign commands to pre-existing shortcuts (eg: ctrl+z/x/c/v for undo/cut/copy/paste) or you'll get some weird behavior.

hey thanks! PQzII worked perfect for my purpose. i was able to make shortcuts to symbols that were usually hard to reach! recommended program! you can do much more even, like make keyboard shortcuts to programs.

That program looks interesting but doesn't work all at for me.
When I click it a small white square appears above the start menu and does nothing. If I try to switch to the program, also nothing happens. And worst of all, if I close it the device stops responding completely, and I have to soft reset. I'm using the Raphael specific version, 0.0.8e2. Do you have any clue on what might be happening?
Well i currently have MorphGear up and running flawlessly on my HD2.. which is a dream come true because i open up that program and play the classics whenever i get the chance... My only problem with this is the fact that we do not have a physical keyboard....
Now there are snes gamepads floating around these forums.. and they are great! but i think that development has died because it seems no one wants to try and improve on the gamepad...
I'm not sure why no one else has brought this up.. but the abxy buttons on the snes gamepad is just too close together... it causes incorrect input every now and then.. and that can severely impact gameplay....
As i was looking around this forum i came across this from a blackbird user i believe... its attatched at the bottom.. but either way.. notice how he tried seperating the buttons from each other to create more indivual space for each button?? Now that is the right idea.. i've been trying to find any updates on it.. but it appears that development on this has also died...
I'm wondering how hard would it be.. to take what wedge orriginally wanted to do (move "a" button down just slightly.. and move the "y" down and to the left) and create this gamepad for the hd2? it seems as if you would have almost everything you need... just minor tweaks to someone who actually knows what he/she is doing... (not me by any means.. although i wish.. ) it doesn't need to be his exact skin.. it can be on any snes skin or whatever.. i'm just saying that there should be MORE space in between the buttons and that would make a touch screen base controller work just as good as a physical keyboard....
yea.. hope someone takes interest in this and understands that this would be a great addition to the hd2 users who enjoy morphgear....

Hi, have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658257
The morphgear gamepad linked by Hojlind is the best one for the HD2! Also check out LMTs builtin gamepad which supports multitouch and is compatible with morphgear and FPSEce! It also works in landscape mode.
lol... sorry i should've made it more clear.... either that or you should've read a little thoroughly lol... either way.. i have tried that rom... and lmt holds no interest to me... i'm simply looking for a gamepad that has room for the button individual area.. to avoid input error

"to avoid input error" You won't archive that with "more room for the buttons". Do you now the shadowing effect/auto alignment problem from LEO's touch hw? This is the cause why the gamepad you've metioned is not working properly. Hojlind's gamepad hides the hw problem with good positioned buttons and LMTs gamepad has a buitlin software filter to archive the best gamepad behavior. Try it and you'll see the difference...
Am i getting it right, when i say that all you want is some space between the buttons?

As for me, I think LMTs gamepad has a (short) delay between the press and the reaction of the character, that's quite annoying....

Really? I tested the gamepad again with morphgear and FPSEce: No delay compared to the buitin gamepads. Did you measure it or is it only your feeling?
Hi guys, I am not sure if many of you have this problem, but the arrow keys on the bottom row is really a pain, as it is just below the space bar.
More often than not, when I try to tap the space bar, I tend to accidentally hit the arrow keys below it, causing T9 to change to an alternate word.
This has been very annoying to me. I have done some search and found quite a few complains from the others as well regarding this issue.
I personally find no use for the keys to be there. and I believe same goes to most of you HD2 users.
Can I please ask for some help from the expert around to create a tweak or maybe some step by step guide to remove the arrow keys from the bottom row of the keyboard, making the keyboard shorter.
This is something that I believe will help many of us out there. thanks for viewing.
Your help will be appreciated!
PS: I have tried finger keyboard, but it still have the arrow keys, and i am having some problem with the suggesting contact names. I really hope some one could just remove the arrow keys from the original keyboard, as it is really good aside from the arrow keys being there. Thanks Again!

Maybe something like the HD Mini, it has a button to switch between having the arrows and disabling them.

This would have the added bonus of freeing up more screen real estate. Or bigger buttons would be nice.
I would also love to see this happen.
The simple solution is for some third-party developer to design an alternative VK that finally utilizes the upgraded screen real-estate.
Android has tons of different keyboard layouts... developers just need to jump on-board with Windows Mobile.

I hate the arrows as well... We need a project to start working on this
Hi me again. So has any expert programmer out there could please please help us out???
any guidelines would be good. Thanks!!
Search for Nikoan89 wvga keyboard v2.2. That has the function with arrows you want.. Its an old feature btw..
Correction. version 1 see to be better... Pressthe arrow button and magic happen on top of the kb..
Hi, Nikoan keyboard seems to be ideal, however after installing his WVGA cab, my HD2 wouldnt boot and was always stuck at the white screen with the HTC words. At 1 point I tot i have bricked my phone... coz i wasnt able to sync and re flash my rom. However i got it fixed in the end.
i too am looking for something like this as well as modifying the landscape SIP to put the cursor keys on the left side of the KB.
why?
cuz i have small hands/thumbs. if the cursors were on the left, there would be equal reach to the keyboard on both sides, unlike now where the right side is twice the length than the left due to the strip of hardware keys adding to the length of reach.
if someone could reorganize the stock (HTC) keyboard cursors:
1. in portrait: remove the row of cursors or place them along the TOP edge of the keyboard.
2. in landscape: move the column of cursors from the right to the left of the keyboard.
SPB and Resco charge $20-25 for their keyboard solutions. after trying both, i think they both suck and i'm glad i trialed them first.
therefore, i'm willing to pay/donate $25 to the first person who can meet both of my requested modifications without bugs.
I personally prefer those arrow keys to be there. Only because I find it annoying that when I type, and make a mistake, putting my blinking cursor-line right after the mistake only to hit backspace to delete the mistake, is annoying.
I just typed a mu|stake. ARGH! (Must put cursor between U and S in order to edit it. - Always a hit/miss)
Any tips?
Anyone know how to do the following:
1. Change the color of the mouse pointer. I can only see it if the screen brightness is turned all the way up.
2. Is there way to map a key to the recent programs screen?
3. Is there anyway to "Alt+Tab" through open programs? I know the concept of open programs is different than in Windows but even a single key to cycle through would be awesome.
Thanks
as of right now, no no and no.
sorry.
You could possibly change the mouse pointer color if you root and could find the image extract it, edit it and then replace it, but as far as i know no one has tried.
there is noway to remap keys so for now you have to actually touch the screen for this. and yes i find it annoying too.
honeycomb dosn't support a function like that. maybe ice cream this fall.
Apps and recent apps are two glaring omissions to the keyboard considering all the crap shortcut keys I'll most likely never go near. A long press on the home key would be nice to bring up recent apps. Control x/c/p would be nice shortcuts as well.
