Problem with button after installing Voice Command

Hi!
I have installed Voice Command and all was working great until first soft reset...
Something bad happens to harware button nr 4 (that with a bubble, next to
camera button). All functions mapped to this button are activated only
after holding that button for a few seconds. If you just tab that button -
nothing happens... If I uninstall VC - problem disapears...
I know that this is an old problem (even on WM5 after installing VC), but
I don't find any solution... And I know that there is a solution, becouse on ROMs
when VC is included, that button is working OK...
So dev's or anyone - pls share with me

I have compared 3 registry and files snaps, bout I don't find there
any solution... So if anyone can find what registry change is responsible
for that strange button behaviour, I'll be grateful...
So:
Result1.txt is compare of snaps taken before and after installation of VC
Result2.txt is compare of snaps taken after installation, but before and
after first soft-reset
It is easy to read - all lines starting with < are old values, and lines
starting with > are the modified/new ones...
Thx in advice! This will help not only me - but all the people who are
using VC

I have found an solution for this! OK, maybe this is not real solution
(still needs someone to find what registry change is responsible for this weird
button behaviour), this is more like backdoor for button problem, but it works
Now I have something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It looks great, huh? I don't remenber when I have possibility to map
all the button functions! (I think that in last official WM5 ROM)
OK, You need a registry editor, WM6 without Voice Command (I haven't
tested if this will work, when VC is build into ROM - besides, only with VC from here,
announce for incoming calls will work), Voice Command Fixed for WM6 and
offcourse HTC Universal
Note: This fix will work only if your "Record" button has been messed up
after isntalling VC!
After applying this fix, you will have to possibility to use Record button
as before installing VC, and you will have a new function - other action
mapped to Press & Hold for Record button!
1. Open you registry editor and navigate to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
2. Find key 40C4 and rename it to 40C5
3. Create new key and mane it 40C4
4. Open key 40C5, copy all values from there to 40C4 key
5. Open 40C4 and change value of Name to "Record (Hold)", for example
You Keys key should look as here:
And it is done! Now in Settings -> Button windows all buttons
will be functional as before installing VC, and you have received
a bonus - a new action key to map
PS. I still search for a proper solution, why record button (40C4) has
transformed into 40C5 after isntalling VC! Pls, I know, that many
devs here know WM registry well - pls look at my compare results....
This will help a lot!

Thanks! I've been using KDSkamal's WM6 Beautiful Edition which is nice and fast but, among other minor things, didn't have the Record (Hold) button visible. Using your suggestion I was able to successfully restore and map it.

I tried this, and I get the announcements via handset speaker, but not over BT... Even after changing the configuration settings to use regardless of free time, and to use for BT all of the time and again to use BT if available... I did not have to use the VC BT Fix by Zajules after installing this... and BT worked as before...
We are closer, good work, but how did you get it to work over BT... Once we know that, Microsoft should compensate all that have worked to make this a reality... Just wish I was one of them... Ha...

Thanks Mr. Groch!
I was going to try this registry fix on my Mogul, but I already had 40C5 key, and didn't think I should try to rename another to this one.
Instead, I was able to just reassign the record button using AEButton Plus and it's working fine.

Eagerly waiting both for your ROM and fireburned's one gonna flash the one that comes first.
Good job!

Hi,
Thanks for the new ROM, it's looking nice.
I have a question, how do you enable the WiFi? I have looked in the Comm Manager but can't find any button to enable it.
Kind regards,
Stu

The idea to remove the new startmenu is ok! I dont like it too!! next to the sms sender and receiver chat there's a red X is it right? anyway its just a small thing.

drat
download limit reached... that was quick!
any chance of a mirror?

Hi,
I have temporarily hosted the file there :
http://87.106.165.55/xda/ZeeRoseV1.nbh
Thanks Zeeshee!

Man this ROM is damn fast...
But I'll second the WiFi comment - phones pretty much useless without it ;-)!!
***EDIT***
So I found out by going the long way through settings to enable...
Anyone able to post wifitoggle.zip from smartmadsoft so we can map it to the VolUp button? All links seem to be dead elsewhere.
Tnx

Do the long press VOL_UP or VOL_DN buttons work to toggle WiFi and/or BT on?
Downloading ROM now to try, thanks Zeeshee!

Cheers!

Shortcuts for WiFi & Bluetooth will be included in next version.
Point noted

Hi,
I don't know if anyone else is having a problem with the contacts button from the home screen?
When I press the contacts button nothing happens. The contacts menu doesn't appear.
Thanks.

Yes, I'm having exactly the same problem (with the "contacts" soft button on home page).
AleM2k.

Bluetooth & WiFi Toggle
If you unzip the files in the attached archive to the Windows folder, it should enable the Vol Up/Down functionality from the previous ROM.
HTH
eta: have managed to enable WiFi on/off in CommManager too by editting the registry (From memory: HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\5 "WLAN"). Now just need to sort out Contacts...

thanks !!!

I dont have Contacts problem from homescreen...

bizarre - whichever way I try to start contacts, Contacts from homescreen, Contacts from Programs..., nothing loads up. The only way I've seen of viewing a contact is to bring the dialer up, enter characters from name, then view contact.

I have problem with Contacts too =(

Problem with AutoKeyLock & Vito copy/paste...

Hi there,
I just discovered the AutoKeyLock program and immediately hit the problem with "Cannot hook the keyboard".
So I renamed my VitoCopyPaste.exe to .eze and rebooted.
This allowed AutoKeyLock to work.
Just out of interest, I renamed VitoCopyPaste back to .exe and it ran fine. So that suggests to me that both applications can co-exist as long as AutoKeyLock is started first.
So, 65000$ question, is there any way to control the startup order?
BTW I'm running Dr. Gonzo's WM 6.1 ROM on my Vox if that makes a difference?
TIA,
Richard

You can't use both apps on your vox, you must choose one or the other.
Sorry.

That's not true! I have them both working when I automatically start AutoScreenLock and manually start copy/paste.
I can see them both in task manager, Honestly!
If I knew how to take a screen shot, I'd post it.
R.

No, if autokeylock is launched first (screensaver active), vito copypaste don't work, if vito copypaste is launched first, autokeylock don't work.
It's a fact, only one soft can hook the keyboard.
Bye.

I am using "SmartToolkit 1.0.0.RC08" for: autokeylock, copy/paste and key mapping, ( "celle task" is mapped on center d-pad button).

OK Here's a screenshot from my phone showing both apps running:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Believe you, yes that you can run both binaries at the same time.
The $65,001 question (which is what Fireburned is trying to say), is if both applications actually function when running together?

Running the two apps is ofcourse possible, but the beauty is they wont work simultaneousely . Its very simple, how can two apps lock the same hardware device? Think about it. You are using a dialup modem and are already connected to some network through it, now you start and another dialer and again want to use the same modem to dialup some other network, is it possible ?

Yes, they both work.
Shaunak.it, I don't know too much about Windows Mobile but in other OS's you have the concept of chaining where several programs can register an interest in a particular interrupt or device.
Thinking about it, WM must support something similar, otherwise how does the screenshot program see the * key pressed whilst both AutoKeyLock & Vito Copy & Paste are running?
Returning to my original question, is there any way to control the order that programs are started at boot time?
R.

dicko99 : I don't believe you, sorry
Phrak and shaunak.it : Thanks you, it's what i want to say, both applications can run simultany, but only the first launched app works.
Bye.

Yeah! the other program will get access to the device only after the first service let go of it's hold

Video proof
Enjoy!

try to make an sms text message and use vitocopypaste to select some words and cut/paste it somewhere else.
you will notice it doesn't work, because a carriage return is automatically inserted when keylock releases the hook to vitocopypaste.

B****r! I only tested copy/paste on a single line field...
Bye bye AutoKeyLock then!
R.

That's an old problem (not limited to the VOX) - long solved as well. Install Mobiion HookManager (free for personal use):

Woo! It really works.
Thanks for the info.
R.

yes indeed!!!
great find

a little side-note:
use python 2.7, not the current/latest release 3.1, otherwise the script won't work (at least it did not on my pc )

Thanks for the answers.
Can confirm: working on pyton version 2.7, not working with version 3.1.2.

I am not sure what "Wake with" function is supposed to do. I took it like, when the screen in black and phone is locked on pressing a checked button will light the screen up. Is this how is supposed to work? For me it doesn't.

This is great..thanks!

Is there anything like this for the Kaiser?

if you prepare a photo like vogue or polarisfor kaiser i can add it.

gives an error when i try to save for the vogue:
Code:
File "C:\Users\Jace\Documents\androidtools\tools\keymapping.py", line 416, in
createscript
self.writevogue()
File "C:\Users\Jace\Documents\androidtools\tools\keymapping.py", line 334, in
writevogue
self.outputfile.write('key 158 '+self.centerframe.camerafirstop.get()+'\t'
+self.wakestatus(self.wakecamerafirst.get())+'\n')
AttributeError: Frame instance has no attribute 'camerafirstop'
and something similar with the polaris

Hi mate,
when using python 2.7, this error message shows up when saving androidupdate.tar:
Code:
Exception in Tkinter callback

File "C:\webdev\python\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1410, in __call__

self.outputfile.write('key 158 '+self.centerframe.backop.get()+'\t'+self.w
akestatus(self.wakegps.get())+'\n')
AttributeError: Frame instance has no attribute 'backop'
Is version 2.6 mandatory please?

I'm sorry, i forget to commit latest version. Try now.

how do I use this file?
just overwrite the file on my phone? how to do that? Thanks!

Apply android update using boot menu or bootscript generator

Works great now.
Thank you.

Hi how should I map the camera key in the Kaiser...there are also a couple of other keys (the two close to the focus wheel in the top left side of the phone) not listen in the Kaiser part. One is the other "ok" and the other is the "search" key.. wich in winMo I don't know what it does.. I think is intended to chat or something (there is a comics ballon on it)...
I'm looking around for a method for find the keycode on android but I can't find any working solution..maybe you should quickly point me in the right direction.
Look the dmesg after pressing the key is not giving any answer.. -.-
By the way it's a really great tool!
thanks

Hello! Found this thread and utility program very actual for me
I'm using HTC Diamond 2 with Android and want to remap "Power" and "End call" buttons. It is very natural to press Enc call after the conversation, but it is completely inconvenient to use it as power off... On the other hand, the top hardware button works as "Home" in Androd while it is designed to be "Power" as like on the original HTC Diamond and iPhone.
Is there any way to remap these keys functionalty in Android in a free way, say, to leave "End call" on the "End call" button, but move power off to top hardware "Power" button?
I'm new to Android, but a littlie familiar with linux, so I could edit config files if it is necessary. Thanks in advance!

You can change directly the keylayout file in your system

Thanks man! Let me know what you think about it
Had some great suggestions on my first version here from XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-time-boss-set-multiple-timers-t2881764). Took me some time, but put in all suggestions that were given to me and I do believe that the end result was a lot better thanks to this forum (nice if we can help each other out a little...).
So your input is not only greatly appreciated, but there is a big chance it will end up in the app!

the new timer icon is very good looking.. nice work..

Thanks for your continued support! (I know you also tried out my first version, so thanks a lot!!) :good: :highfive:

Just installed the new version. There are a lot of improvements in it that I really like.
However, for me the 'stopwatch' style of the first version was more practical. Is there any way you could include that in the new version also?
Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback!
This same layout is available in version 2 (the new version) also!
Just open TimeBoss and press the 'menu button' (your phone's menu button or the on-screen button in the top-right of your screen) and select 'settings'. The 3rd item in settings is 'Timer layout'. Here, you can select:
1. Icon only (this is the default layout for the new version)
2. Timer only (this is the original layout, which you would like to use)
3. Icon and Timer (shows both. However, the timer does not show milliseconds in this layout)
Hope this answers your question. And thanks for your support! :good:
