Hi, I have a strange problem with Long Press End Key icon. Somehow icon in Settings --> System changed its colors - whole icon is gray/silver (see attachment). I can't find any solution, in File Explorer file LongPressEndKeyApp.exe is displayed correctly. Any ideas how can I fix it?
Hello,
I want to know how to change my "start icon" in "HTC touch pro 2" to it's old windows mobile style without disabling TF 3D shell.
Now, when I press it it go to new TouchFlo 3D menu. I want to change my TF3D interface something like HTC diamond which enables user to see original windows satrt menu and by pressing windows key go to HTC menu.
Also when I press battery icon it go to Notification menu and don't show the battery bar like other HTC phone or by pressing speaker icon there is no menu for changing it and it go directly to notification.
Is it possible to change it to old style by editing registery?
Thanks a lot.
Hi everybody!
I'm actually using Dutty's HolyGrail R1 Rom for topaz, and for a long time (since original rom) I've been looking for a way to get rid of all the autocomplete and xT9 services on my TD2. The only thing I want is to freely type whatever I want without any kind of suggestions or corrections . I've tried the Advanced Configuration Tools to tweak this unsuccessfully. Does anyone knows how to do it?
Why not pressing the little XT9/ABC button on your device's keyboard and put the device in ABC mode? In that mode the topaz displays exactly whatever you type..
yea but this does not disable button, i want to disable button that it will be always in ABC mode, even if i press that button again, something like keyboard look when you type "To:" field (XT9 ABC) button is disabled...
Hi there
Have you tried using the Text Input Settings that you can find if you touch the Up arrow next to the Text Input Selector available whenever you can input text, ie, SMS or email entry?
You get a pop up menu which has Text Input Settings as an option. If you select that you get an options dialog that has a heading 'XT9 Settings' one of which is 'Word Completion (XT9)' with an On/Off slider button. Toggle this to Off and you should find that when the keyboard is presented you are now set in ABC mode with no option to toggle into XT9 mod.
Should point out that I am running a standard ROM with Manila 2.1.
Hope that helps?

Having recently discovered these myself, and seeing that others aren't aware of them, we need a list here.
The majority of these shortcuts require a hardware keyboard to function - and make having one that much more valuable beyond the other obvious benefits.
These will make your life a whole lot easier - no longer will you have to do things the hard way through the touch interface.
Let's start:
Holding the hardware menu button and pressing other characters does stuff.
First of all, you can find out menu shortcuts on your own. Hit menu once to open it, then hold it and it will show them on the menu options.
General Android:
In a text field:
Menu + X: Cut
Menu + C: Copy
Menu + V: Paste
Menu + A: Select All
Also:
Alt + Trackpad Up: Top of page
Alt + Trackpad Down: Bottom of page
Alt + Trackpad Left: Beginning of line
Alt + Trackpad Right: End of line
(when the keyboard is slid out, the trackpad orientation changes to be proper for the way you are holding it, so left really is left and so forth)
Holding shift and using the trackpad to scroll around highlights from where the cursor is when you start.
Spacebar works as page down in a document (or browser)
Shift + Spacebar works as page up in the same fashion.

On your home screen:
Menu + W: Select Wallpaper
Menu + P: Personalize Menu
Menu + N: Show Quicklaunch

Long press of the Search button brings up a menu of apps you have installed that can use it. The genius button replaced the search button on this device, so you will have to remap the key to use this functionality.
See this thread for remapping the genius to search:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285244
If you do not have more then one app that uses this long-press search shortcut menu, it will default to the only one that can (google voice - or nothing if none are installed)
The ability to use this menu has to be programmed into the individual app itself - so it's a crapshoot if you can find any to do so. Soundhound is one, QR Droid Private 3 is another - and i'm sure you will find more.
----
Launch Apps
Search + A: (User Selectable)
All the way down to...
Search + Z: (User Selectable)
...are keys you can pick the apps that pressing the key combo launches.
Search + any letter from A to Z is user selectable in settings. Go to:
Settings -> Applications -> Quick Launch.
This will allow you to launch any app you set by using the hotkey combination assigned to it.
----
Individual apps may have their own shortcuts that override or change what the standard ones are depending on the app you are in.
They may change or ignore some of these shortcuts, so you may have to experiment on a per app basis.

Also, pressing Search + (key) will open apps and whatnot - these shortcuts are configurable in settings.
Settings -> applications -> quick launch.
Search + (key) shortcuts are quick launch shortcuts.

I don't have the time on hand to post the whole list of shortcuts, i'm logging in from a terminal where i'm working today, but wanted to get this started.
I'll definitely add more later - but I encourage others to post here with shortcuts they know or discover.
Let's really get the most out of our device, and not using the keyboard shortcuts is ignoring one of the greatest benefits of a hardware keyboard.
Note: Menu + (whatever) shortcuts will NOT work with a soft keyboard, you must have the physical keys to press to make it happen. If a device does not have a hardware keyboard, you cannot use the menu shortcuts.

So cool gonna play with this now
I rooted my mt4gs (unlock via htcdev which leaves S-ON, then CWM and SU) in order to kill off some bloatware and remap the genius button to search. I'm using the 1.63.531.2 710RD (stock) ROM.
Now that I have a search button, I'd really like to get access to the search+letter Quick Launch mappings like I had on my stock G2.
But Settings -> Applications has no submenu for Quick Launch (I guess they stripped it out because of the genius button). Quick Launch itself works, I believe, since search+g launches the Gmail app.
How can I enable the Quick Launch settings screen?
Or is there a flat file I can edit to enable all the search+[whatever] mappings that I like?
Beg pardon if this is addressed in another thread -- couldn't find.
Hi, T-Mobile G2 user here. These shortcuts are avaliable for all Android phones that run gingerbread and below. Unfortunately I've heard that they have been completely removed in Ice Cream Sandwich for some very odd reason. Additionally, in Gingerbread some of these shortcuts are broken.
In my case, I'm running 2.3 (CM 7.0.3) and I've noticed that the cut/copy/paste shortcuts have been completely made broken because of the new "text selection" system that they added in gingerbread.
Additionally, some of the shortcuts mentioned don't work for me. Shift Space for example doesn't scroll up in the browser for example.
I hope Google brings them back. This is one of the main reasons why I stick to Android phones that have a fully QWERTY keyboard.
Anyways here's a shortcut I recently discovered, at least on the G2.
In the browser, if you hold the menu button and tap on a link, the link gets open in a new tab (in the background for me). This is a really awesome feature in my opinion, though it only works in the keyboard menu button, and not the "portrait" menu button.
Thanks for the useful information!!
Change/Switch Language
Also....
Alt + Space ==> change the language of the keyboard (i.e. English <--> Hebrew).
(I tried Googling it with no success, so I guess this shortcut in less familiar, hence worth mentioning) :victory:
Hi Folks,
Was wondering if there a CM configuration option to reverse the default short/long press behaviour for the Quick Settings shade? I would prefer to use touch (short) press for selecting the activity options and long press to turning off the activity. This is the default keystroke behaviour on a Nexus device and I prefer it.
Thank you
