Assign a hard button to the camera? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi when Im wanting to take a photo of say me and mates ect, and the phone is turned around facing us, its hard to know where the button on the screen is, it would be cool if when the camera app opened, we could use, for example, volume up to take a photo or start recording.
Thanks for your time

I have the same problems too.. any devs able to map these buttons as suggested? would be great!!

Might not be the answer you want but why dont you use the timer function till you find how to make a hard button.

Yeah not a bad idea, but it would be nice to have a hard button as well

I've just tried experimenting with the timer and it is actually better that way than using a hard button .

Cool ^^
but still am interested in the button aproach too

great idea !!!. im not a fan of the on-screen button at all........

I'm using the Touch Focus. You can find it on the settings.
When you press and hold on anywhere on the screen it takes a picture after focusing.
Just make sure you press near your faces so it wouldn't be out of focus.
So press and hold somewhere in the middle almost always works.
Try it guys!

This have been discussed before, but it seems no progress.
+1 I would really like to take photo using the volume rocker(up to snap photo/down to record a video
as it's hard not to see the screen to tap & snapping your own photo.

Try AEBPlus

AEBPlus can only be mapped to activate the camera but not take photo.

Yes I just found that

shutter button
my vote goes to the volume down button. this would make the camera soooo nice to use. come on guys, surely someone can pull this off!
regards paul

ideally we need an application that when a hardware button is pressed it simulates a screen tap in a configured location on the screen depending on which is the current active application...

Good idea! maybe configure Mort script to press screen position. and use aebplus to activate the script.

All these posers wanting the down button as they are turning the camera on themselves .... lol
I vote for the up button for when taking pics of others.
So I guess the ability to map to either up or down would be good.

Try VITO ButtonMapper 4.0, 3.1 or 2.0. It's shareware and freeware, and you can make macros of your tochscreen pressings to assign this macros any hardware buttons. I tested it with WM 6.1 and the HTC Hermes. Maybee it works also with WM 6.5.x

In need of a special task manager to my PDA..

Okey.
I got a Qtek S100 (or Magican, as you call it...).
I've been searching around för task managers that fits my needs, including this forum. I've tried the most popular, and some other, but haven't got jackpot yet.
All of the task managers I've tested works like this: Hit an icon with the pen (or finger...) and a menu pops up.
I want to press a hardware button, to make the menu open.
A long time ago I had such a program. I had it on both of my iPAQ models. A 3630, and a 3660.
On these models these program was attatched to the right buttons, se picture:

I'm not sure what these programs where named, but now you've got a clue what I need.
Any idéas of programs?
Is it not possible for you to remap the buttons, I mapped the camera button on my xda 2 to execute tomtom for instance.
dont waste time trying to map the send/cancel button.
there is no way to map.
i have tried all the whole list of Mapping button program from pocketgear.
none able to do it
probably you want to download a program that has 2 functions in each hardware button
for example.
1. calendar (press one)
1. pocket word (press and hold)
2. contacts (press one)
2. pocket excel (press and hold)
so on...
there u go, you can launch 8 applications
The problem is not to execute a program, that I can do well. The problem is TO OPEN A MENU.
For instance, press a hardware button and the start menu opens...
But, I want a task bar, that I can open it's menu by pressing a hardware button.
the start menu is just like a launcher
i have no idea how to map the start menu to a button
anyway, let calculate the step
using finger to press start menu (only 1 move)
using finger to press hardware button (only 1 move)
since no solution, we have to face it

do you mean iTask??
buzz
I found "magic button" to be a useful task switcher - but I don't know a way of using it with the hardware buttons. I also use buttonMax - you can create a macro that taps the start menu and assign the macro to a hardware button. I use "program menu" as my start menu which supports hiararchial menus so you can have access to a large amount of apps using a couple of button presses.
http://www.pocketmax.net/buttonMax.htm
I have already tested before this question is asked.
the only thing that cannot be done (that how i feel), is by configuring the 'send' button to map to a program (such as photos contacts 1.0d)
urh.. this photos contacts is not the built in program, it is an external program

Update: Now I've found another one, and I like this one even better.
HandySwitch is the name..

Classic Game For Your XDA - "ANOTHER WORLD!"

This game was originally released on the Mac back in the early 1990's. The author then ported it to PC lter, and now a 3rd party, ith the authors permission of course, has ported it to WM5/WM6, and it is no freeware. The PC version still costs $8.99, but the mobile version is free.

Wow! Thanks. I played it on my (still alive) Amiga1200.
thanks for the heads-up!
Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2432836 for a quick review & tips.
hey a cannot open the download can you help me pleaase!! I love this game!!
Cool! I played this game when it was released on the PC, and at the time it was impressive: Smooth animations and a sound quality not heard until then (when the most you got were bips) . Not to mention that it was a well developed story.
Update: I just installed it on my Samsung i780 and F-S Loox N560, it doesn't work on either . So it's probably QVGA compatible only. I will test it on my Touch and see if it works there. BTW, there's a Game Boy Advanced version as well that was ported some years ago.

Assign the left (right?) softkey functionality to Camera to be able to bring up the menu.
Do I have to resign my softkeys on my prophet, too? Why couldn't they make this easier?
sweet lord!
i need to see it on my machine to believe.
this is so incredible.
younger forum users won't probably imagine how shocking such news may be...for few.
This is a really stupid question, but how do you beat that first monster? The only moves he seems to be able to do is the jump kick (up) and the just a regular kick.
thanks,i played it on some kind of emulator few years ago,and it was really interesting,but i came to a part where some bug appeared and the game would just crash...thanks again,i'll be sure to try it

run past him...i can't really remember how coz i palyed it some time ago but in the 2. or third scene is some kind of obstacle or an elevation,so play with the monster,lure him to the first scene,then run past...or something like that...anyway you can't kill it

Run to the left, when he's about to jump over you, jump and keep running to the left. In the last screen you'll see a rope over the edge of the rock, jump from there and he'll grab the rope and move from left to right over the monster, then run all the way to the right.
BTW it's a great port. But I have found no simple way to bring up the menu on the HTC Touch. I mapped the camera button to left or right soft-key with no luck. Then I found that if you hold the power button as if you where going to power it off, as soon as the confirmation dialog appears, you can say "no" and the menu of Another World will pop up so you can quit without having to reset or power off.
Doesnt work on the Raphael.

Yeah i have the same troubles on my Touch Cruise.
I mapped left soft key to kamera or voice button (button 4) but it didn't help. Mapping is working in manila 2D, but not in the game (. So u cannot even enter code to continue in game.
Try to do the same: Hold the power button until a dialog asks to shut down. Cancel and the menu of Another World will appear.
Unfortunately I sold my Touch (to get a Diamond) and I can no longer play it since VGA is not supported .
Doesn't work on the Motorola Q. It looks like this:
Please help me. Broken GAPI and/or lack of screen rotation destroy it's value for games, emulators and applications

[IDEA] Diamond2 Zoombar as buttons

Dear Developers
I have a request for a nice peace of software. I guess a lot of Diamond2 user will love it.
Now that we can scroll through the file explorer and so on (with zoombar) it would be great to have a "button" to click on the selection.
As there was an app for the diamond1 that made the Multi-Touch-Buttons customizable (hold, click, tap, double tap)
I thought it would be possible to use the zoombar as different buttons:
Button 1: Tap the zoombar on the left (magnifier(-) to 3rd line)
Button 2: Tap the zoombar in the middle (between 3rd and 7th line)
Button 3: Tap the zoombar on the right (7th line to magnifier(+))
The three buttons should be customizable in their action.
Btw. the zoombar and the buttons should work at the same time.
(There is an TouchHD mod that enables their "new zoombar" OR the touch-buttons)
Original post
Would be great if someone could help me (and all other Diamond2 user)
Regards Mar'Cel
That's great idea. That would be really good to have it work as buttons
Intresting idea..
As and when I get a Diamond2 (I should hopefully get one when T-Mobile UK get them) I'll try this, unless someone else gets there first...
Great idea, I was thinking the same thing. I'd definitely need to have something like this available before I would purchase the phone (this one or the touch pro 2) . I could not imagine always using the touch screen for so many things and not having a d-pad, I use it all the time on my FUZE.
I would take this app idea even one step further: make the 'zones' completely customizable as well, so you could create as many as you like, by specifying coordinates for something. (i.e., if the scroll bar has 100 "units", you could say "0-20 is button 1, 21-40 is button 2", etc) So, in my case, I'd try to see if it would work to have 5 "zones":
left, up, select, down, right
something like that. Might be tight to squeeze 5 buttons in there (3 is probably more realistic) but it might work, and with that layout you'd have a full d-pad ! It's gotta be possible, let's make this happen !!!! The little guidelines in the zoom area might actually make this even better and easier to implement, since there's a nice visual aid to let you know where to touch to get the button you want. Might be even better than the current diamond/touch pro d-pad !!

A possibility too. But I think a developer decides what makes more sense or what is better to implement And you know that the zoombar can be used to scroll through most lists/apps(with a little mod) and so on, right? And you have arrow keys on the keyboard.

Can you run the attached exe (copy it to your phone and run it there), and tell me what the "where:" value is, and whether "keyup" works?
Or, can you take a few screenshots of it when you click in different places on the zoom bar?
BTW, the exe is taken directly from the sensor reverse engineering by Scott Seligman, but if it works I can play around a bit and convert it to topaz...
EDIT: if it doesn't work, can you tell me what the error is?
Maybe I have to install anything before to make it run properly?
I get an Error "Unable to load HTC API DLL".
When I press OK I can see the orientation of my phone -> the tilt
and a little ring is sliding around when I tilt my device..
A second start of the app is possible after restart
I will download the HTC API.dll and try it again... but shouldn't the HTCapi.dll be there on my ROM already?
[edit] I found a HTCapi.dll from the Touch HD... can I use it or should I take another?

htcapi.dll is what provides data from the capacitive panel on the Diamond and Raphael. I'll need to look at a Topaz ROM and see what it's using instead. I think it might be using biotouch.exe/biotouch.dll since that's what the zoom bar for Blackstone is using... I'll look at it tomorrow.
I took the htcapi.dll from the HD and now your .exe runs without error.
But I still just see the ring sliding around and three "tachometer" showing my tilt direction.
Maybe you find out tomorrow (today^^) I'll have a look later

That means that HTC have changed the drivers for the zoom bar from what they had for the Blackstone/Diamond etc... I think they've now decided that the zoom bar is part of TouchFlo (the finger scrolling part, not the manila part). Time for some disassembly!
If you tell me how to find that out I could help you.. otherwise that doesn't tell me enough to help you without any hint
Any improvement yet?
Bump... Bump...
ok i'm a noob
can anyone guide me step by step, how to make zoom bar as a scroll bar
I found out here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512614
but it doesnt let the zoom bar to work 100% as a scroll bar
thx and sry for the noob question
wrong thread. go to topaz and see..use Advanced Config. an app that can also do what you ask for.
Common Dudes... no one can make our wishes come true?
i think they are using Smarttouch for scrolling the zoombar.. but I may be wrong, the reg entries suggest its that at least..

I've not seen a topaz, never mind played with it though, so this may all be wrong
zoom as screen on manilla, this is what i want
bump. With the lack of buttons, I think the original idea would be great. Perhaps write a small little app to dedicate buttons to the spaces (ie 1-20 = button 1, etc). If it was assignable, you could have as many or as few buttons as you wanted.
Think of the possiblities....

[PROJECT] Volume Control *Developers needed!*

Hey Guys,
last night, as i was lying on my bed, i heard music as everyday on my HD2.
I recognized that the "volume control" issue was very annoying, so i thought nearly 1 hour at my workstation before sleeping about an app which could be very useful.
And i got it:
Now this tiny App lets you do a long press on the not used place left and right (left=system and right=ringing volume) in the home tab, and a volume control appears. Then you just swipe your finger up or down for volume adjusting.

}
This is just a project, and not a ready app. It would be very nice if developers would help me in getting this finished. My programming skills are not very good, therefor i need someone who works with me.
I also thought about making this to an widget for CHT, but i think this will be too difficult at first, we should just make it easier for the alpha.
I also please you not to just "take my idea" and develop something to get fame or so.
If the implementation will be with graphics like images and so on, i also would like to take part in it by designing those over photoshop (as you can see in the preview, which was made by me in about 15 minutes).
So, i hope that there will be somebody who is interested in getting this project alive. Please tell me when you want to take part in this project (post in this thread or PM)
regards,
sallal

Congrats on your 100th post!
I don't really think this is a "problem": There is no big difference between what you're suggesting and the way it is working now - I would even say the opposite is true: Using the rockers is possible in all apps - so you can change the volume any time. But using the solution you suggest would only be possible on the home screen, right?
I'm sorry if I'm putting down your initiative...
You don't need to swipe up and down to increase/decrease the volume. You can press the button and keep pressing it.
You also don't have to press on the grey background. It will automatically return to where you left off after a few seconds.
@MAMeingast: yes, i think you're right.
@Ruudford: if i keep pressing it, it rushes too quickly in a direction and gets too loud/silent.

Don't keep the button pressed - press it once to make the volume dialog pop up and then press it again to move the volume up and down in increments!

is there any way to reduce the amount of increments ? so that it jumps 1 bar and not 3 or so ?

Sadly, I don't think so. That is something I have requested myself (and many others have as well) but until now I don't know of any way to do that!
The only indirect solution I know is this. These registry tweaks will enable the small volume overlay (like the one you get when you press the volume rockers when on the Music tab instead of the big one covering the whole screen) and the small overlay uses smaller increments. I have made a cab with the registry keys for many apps. Try it and uninstall if you don't like it!

[APP][update 17] Photo Button - make photo using volume buttons

Despite the fact that button phones became a thing of the past and touch screens perform almost any functions, in some cases buttons are much handier. For example, when you need to take an instant or secret photo. In case of a touch screen, you have to take several steps: unlock the phone, turn on the camera and press “take a picture” icon.
The Photo Button app enables you to take pictures without unlocking the phone. Just double-press any volume button and you have a photo!
The program has the option of switching from landscape to portrait mode, turning off sound and vibration when taking a picture. Additionally, the app gives notifications about new snaps.
To make the app power saving, activation and deactivation functions were added. The functions were complemented with a little widget for easier use.
Currently the application works on most models of mobile phones. But unfortunately, there are some phone models which don’t support the app, for example, some LG and Motorola models.
Install from Google Play
How to use it?
1. Install and start app.
2. When phone is locked (screen off) quickly press two times volume button (+ or -)

Great app - works flawlessly on my p990 with TonyP's cm10.1. Would like to see a possibility to use press up- and down keys together instead of the double press option.
But all in all perfect for snapshots =). Thanks man...

I'll try to do it, but I fear that it is unlikely.

I'd like, but I didn't assign credit card to my account with google play.
This is great, I've been trying to do this with Tasker for like a year haha. To make this perfect for me, it would have an option to take a quick picture when holding down power and volume up buttons (just like taking a screen shot except with vol up instead of vol down) Would gladly pay for the pro version for that feature.

Unable to install it.
Market say that it's incompatible with HTC One.

Hm, it's very strange. It's must be compatible with all modern HTC phones. I'll try to find reason.
