[Q] Help please - soft (?) key backlight mod? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi all,
I have an HD2 and was wondering if there is a tweak available to switch on the backlight for the bottom keys when it's in Car Kit mode?
It obviously recognises the car kit (switching to NaviPanel), so has anyone come up with an option to switch on backlights for keys when in car kit mode? It's literally a stab in the dark, when it's dark, to use any of them.
It's my first post here so apologies if I've not followed any appropriate protocols.
Thanks

Not sure about a stand alone just for the Navipanel,
but there is this one by Netripper which will keep the leds lit up till you
physically lock the screen,give it a try and see if it does what you
are looking for ......

Great, thanks for that.
Thumbs up type smilie.

Screen- and Button lock

I tryed the sensor lock and I was at first impressed with it but as soon as I had to soft reset the Pro, Sensorlock starting to vibrate alot!
I couldn't unlock the phone at all, not even enter my pin. The only way I could get in to my phone was by putting in the USB cabel, and uninstall the sensorlock. So I won't try that again. Stylus lock looks neat but having to remove the stylus from the phone just to be able to answer a call aint what I'm looking for.
I'm hoping that someone here can rip out the locking function from the Kaiser and make it useable on the Pro. That program was really good and simple.
hope someone can help me find what I want.
you should read the readme or use the search engine in this forum. i guess some devices are just not compatible at this time with the vibrate function. wating for 0.3, it should be fixed.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah I had the same problem!
My touch pro was spaaacing. He was vibrating the whole time....
So the uninstall was very quick with this one
oh seems 0.3.1 is out, bug is gone for me.
for your information ahorn I did use the search function and I did read the readme file..
But sensorlock wasn't my question... I was mearly wondering if someone could make the screen/button lock from kaiser to work in the Raphael... since I had problems with the other.
I had SensorLock installed since yesterday and had no problem at all. In fact I am liking it over another product. Maybe you need change your settings.
My only qualms is that it does not have a unique gesture.
I still got problems with sensorlock, so I'm not gonna use that.
I would like a more simple locking program like the one on Kaiser. Easy and fully functional.
Phone Lock
Sensor Lock would be great for me if I shouldn’t have to rotate the phone like a weird maniac pretending a magician or something - looks extremely funny when it doesn’t unlock and you’re in a meeting with business partners. Like I’m really desperate to impress the party this way …
Would be lovely if instead of rotating the thing we could use a sequence combination of pressing hard buttons. Like “Power, + Back” toggling “Lock Everything”, though this diminishes its name “SensorLock”, I would be gratefully thankful if this option would be kindly implemented by the developer.
i use vjdevice lock and remaped it to the left soft key, works great, one touch screen lock and power off. Big thanks to Vjay555 for this one.

Security lock from the Tornado smartphone is another good one. I hope someone will be able to rip it off for the TouchPro.
If you are looking to disable the on-screen answer keys only, the answerkeys disabler works perfectly for me...

Wake up Topaz with front buttons

I've been searhing a week now, all the internet, all this forum, and i still can't believe nobody didn't need (or think) to wake the Diamond 2 with some other button then power button? I tried all that i found on this forum, like key remapper programs (they are really good programs and usi it), but they do not work when phone is in stand by. I'm using the phone also as navigator on motorcycle, so i have the phone in the transparent top pocket, and need to wake up the phone with front buttons. Is it inpossible? Before on omnia i had this possibility in control panel, but disapointed, that htc didn't make it? Hope someone has an idea how could be done this...or is it actually so simple, and i didn't figure it how? Please, someone help me, i like this phone a lot. I have the essential rom installed at the moment, if this help. Thanks.
have not tried it - but TD2 Tools has an 'Any Key WakeUp'-Option
changing HKCU\controlpanel\Keybd\DefaultKeyLock from 1 to 0
easy one!

Hack/app to illuminate hardware buttons too?

Sorry if this has been covered already; I searched but didn't find anything, but then I may not know the right terms.
My question is: is there a hack or app to adjust when the hard buttons illuminate? I always forget they're there, and when I do remember I still have to look at the buttons. What I'd really like is to make them light up whenever the dial pad comes up or maybe even when the screen is fully illuminated (not staying on when the screen goes a little dim when you don't touch it for a while). I'd also like to be able to change the hardware Windows button to go back to the Sense home screen, rather than the Start menu.
i use KeypadLedControl, it enables the hardware buttons to light up whenever the screen is on
Excellent, thank you!

[Application] Alternative to Power Button!

Alright so my power button seems to be getting a little flaky even with trackball wake so I spent the day thinking about a way to lock the phone without pressing the power button.
I looked into remapping the trackball click (seems like a lot of work) and tried remapping the search button to power off (with no success).
Then after sitting awhile I remembered this app I saw in the HD2 forums called proximity screen off. I thought it would only work for the HD2 but Im so glad I gave it a shot because it works FLAWLESSLY.
I just wanted to share this with everyone who is looking to save whats left of their power button!
All credit of course goes to itsme_4ucz.

In case your wondering the proximity sensor if you are looking a the screen is to the top left of the phone.
The settings are pretty self explanatory. I think you have to check Enable Device Admin and you should check disable in landscape, disable during call, and check disable accidental lock with a 1 second timeout (meaning if you hold your finger/hand/whatever over the sensor for more than 1 second the screen wont lock). Those are just my settings though other settings might work better for you.
Have fun guys!
good find i like it
+1
quite useful
Thanks! Great find. I found "Tap Tap App" which also does the same thing but by tapping the proximity sensor. Works really well so far so good.
Do you think keeping the proximity sensor on all the time is bad for the sensor?

[Q] Screen Button "Detection Region" Problem

I really love the Nexus 5, But I have noticed that when trying to use the bottom row of buttons on the keyboard It aperantly detects one of the 3 on screen buttons and does what ever that button does! Which is a P.I.T.A. when your trying to type!
After the first few times of it doing it I thought something was wrong with my keyboard but after being a little more carefull and watching where I was touching the screen it definately has a invisible detection line for the buttons thats a tad too tall!? [I hope this is proper name for the description IDK the tech lingo for this]
Device info:
Stock Nexus 5
swype [paid] keyboard
portrait mode
Thanks in advance.
Questions belong in the Q&A forum. That's what it's there for.
Never heard of that happening.
