Volume shortcut to be placed in prg shortcuts - WM6.5 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I was using Set Volume 0.8.0 for some time, but I have experienced a few minor problems.
I flashed new rom few days ago, and I noticed that it already has a nice full screen interface for volume.
The only problem is - to activate it - one have to touch +/- volume hardware side butons.
I would like to remap them, and to place a shortcut to program shortcuts in order to invoke a volume interface screen.
Is it possible to do that?
I have found 2 small exe (WisVol.exe and Vol_WM6.exe) files here on forum, but they both invoke a smal baloon and not the full screen interface.
Thanks in advance and cheers,
Nenad

I'm having a similar issue. I just cooked a 28014 rom and included the HTC Mega Volume Control. It pops up when using the HW button, but if I click the volume icon at the top in that new large menu that pops up, nothing happens at all. How can I fix that?

Hi,
I have found this link:

Can I link somehow a .DLL to a button to execute it?
I sound stupid even to myself asking this question, but it looks that I am the only one - beside phazei - who reads this subject - soo

where is the Start - Settings - System Key Lock?

hi, i can't seem to find keylock application that locks all hardware buttons but power when device is on sleep mode. have you got it on yours? i had it on my old tytn II
do you have a
settings->buttons->lock ?
no. have you? i've got only Program buttons, Up/Down Control and backlight tabs there
hmm...you mean setting up a lock to turn off all keys until you hit Unlock then confirm by tapping the key on the screen?
Press and hold the "End" button and that locks the device.
It is configured under start>setting>Long key press.
MIGHT NOT be the thing you are meaning though.
no, you know when you pres power button phone goes sleep mode? there should be a setting where you can decide if you want to allow other hardware buttons wake phone from sleep or other wise.
currently which ever hw button i press phone wakes up i.e send (green) button, terminate call (red button) or action (round) button.
this is no good when phone in your pocket. a small touch to any of them wakes phone up. i thought it is standart wm option as i had it since wizard
Hmm, when i power off the only thing which will power back on is pressing the power button, opening the keyboard or removing the stylus?
I've just got a touch pro and when I power off, no other buttons will wake up the phone.
That being said, I still have my Tytn II and the Key Lock application is found under Start...Settings...System...Key Lock. The Long Key Press app is not what you're after.
It seems strange that your Touch Pro wakes up on any button push. Maybe you need to change a registry setting instead?
wierd ; on mine apart from those, any button powers it up. only config tool i used is advanced confing and there isint any setting regarding this on that tool

do you know which key i should change?
On touch Pro there is no Keylock option in the settings.
Only way how to activate the device is to:
1. press power button
2. open the keyboard
3. take out the stylus
There is no config like on the HTC Touch/Diamond.
I've contacted Julien Schapman, vendor of advanced config and asked him to add this settings to his application.
this is his answer:
Ok I will look at it when I could get a Touch Pro.
Best regards,
Julien Schapman.
So I hope his new version will have this settings. This is really missing.
But maybe someone is able to export this registry path on the HTC Diamond:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD
there should me something like
"KeyLock"=dword:1
Or maybe another. I don't know.

very cool app to unlock and lock the phone.
Tested and works on touch pro.
I'll be replacing S2U2 with this!

It should be in the \Windows directory:
\Windows\Keylock.lnk
\Windows\Keylock.exe
Create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Settings
I don't have this in my HD2 - any ideas if it can be installed seperately?
No idea as I have an at&t Fuze and this is a RAPH/TP/Fuze forum You might have better luck if you posted a link to this thread in the HD2 forum? Also, an alternative to s2u2, check THIS thread (QuickShutdown)
n-Joie! (Enjoy)

I haven't KeyLock in my ROM by default too, but I found it on another forum after many hours searching in the Internet
Unpack it and put enywhere (in example: "Windows" or "Program Files" and run).

polaris buttons

hi guys...
is there by chance a way to change the behavior of the first two buttons?
it's kinda annoying that tomtom or IExplorer would start anytime i accidently touch or even strike one of the big buttons.
if there was only a way to set a delay into that response bahavior, something like holding that button to trigger the application ...
anybody?!?
thanx , bear
btw: running WM 6.1 by bepe, Build 0.65 - WWE
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons. In there you can map what the hardware buttons do. You can have them start other applications or you can map them to do nothing.
that bit i knew
ok my mistake , did not put enough stress on the part
where i was asking for a kind of delay or something like that.
artemis had something like
push button A short : do X,
push button A long : vibrate and do Y
that i'like to have in my cruise...!
thx
OK, nevermind
ifound something on the net.
Hbutton does all the required things,
just install and go
variable delay times, multiple button assignement possible,
nice tool -
case closed !

Help with system volume screens on HTC diamond

Anyone have any idea how I have managed this, or how to fix it?
When I press the volume buttons on my htc diamond I get 2 different volume adjusting screens AT THE SAME TIME!
The standard diamond one that has the 2 pages to adust system and phone volume...
and then a new one layed over the top, or which appears before the normal one
The new system volume screen shows both volume adjusters on the same page and is semi transparent- so I often end up seeing both volume adjuster pages at the same time- I dont know where its come from- or what I installed to create it.
Is there any way I can deactivate one without uninstalling all my software or hard resetting?
Ive tried switching it off with Diamond Tweak but it as no effect.
Recently installed Mobile Shell 3 and touch flow detacher, plus the new calcualtor and image viewer ported form htc diamond 2.

Volume Control on Youtube greyed out/delete "Special" shortcut

Hello,
I'm using Dutty's R6 Holy Grail ROM on my Topaz and after I installed tsowen's Taskbar6v2.1 (lite) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512971, there is just a grey column shown on the left when I'm pressing vol. up/down in the YouTube app (with volume changing but not volume control is shown, just a grey column). Well I've experienced this before after installing another task bar by m6silver http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520132 on my Topaz when I was using the TESS 4.2 ROM.
I heard this was due to the changed VolumeControl.dll of the newer Manila versions. So is there any fix for this?
Well, another question I have is if there is any possibility to permanently delete the "Special" shortcut in the Start menu (which leads to the STK services). If I tried to delete it per file explorer in Windows/Startup, it would show up everytime I do a soft reset.
Best regards and thanks in advance.

Taskbar customization and volume manager

I finally customized my mega the way I wanted it to be when I initially bought it. I'm also running a 6.5.5 rom. Unfortunately I still have some issues with it and I was wondering if someone knew anything about them. First of them is if it would be possible to remove the start soft key in the bottom left corner of the screen. That would be nice since the mega already has a hardware start key and the one on the screen becomes redundant. It would be nice if we would just have two soft keys in the bottom corners
Also, I looked for a solution for the ugly volume manager in these last builds but couldn't really find one. I tried other volume managers like setvolume but that one is buggy even with answering phone calls. I find that unacceptable because most of all, it's a phone. So maybe if we could restore the default one or use another one without so many bugs that would be great. I saw somewhere that a solution was already available but for vga phones. Maybe that could be ported to qvga
I am with you on this. Would love to see these fixes.
I need theses fixes too!!! WM 6.5.5 has bad interface...
Why does the volume control must be so fat and ugly??
The most important thing is volume control in the youtube app sucks!
I wish someone can fix the volume control to use back the original HTC one.
Erm ok, the problem is even when the default HTC Volume control is implemented in the ROM, for some reason WM 6.5.5 overwrites that. I tried a few times. I think that sucks cos I'm a student , and my phone needs to be on silent. But the new volume control can be activated on the lockscreen so I'm afraid it would turn silent off. Any suggestions for this?

There's a nice app called SetVolume that does the trick quite nicely. Also, there's a cab that can remove the start button. I lost the cab but there's a registry tweak that does the job. You can search for it.
