I got some games that require the use of the arrow keys or trackball or something of that nature. They are for other Android phones.
Anyone know of a way or fix to use this on the Tab?
In Mystique you are supposed to zoom in on the room, but there was no way (that I could figure out) with out the trackball or something.
Any ideas?
isn't there an app that can map any hardware button to do something else?
EDIT: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/buttonremapper-for-galaxy-tab_ovva.html
not sure if it will do left/right/up/down
tried double tapping or pinch zoom?
There are so many android phones without a track-xxx that it would be pretty crazy if you explicitly needed one.

As i know that touch pro is not only can be touched on the screen but also the hard button area ( home, back, call, hang up buttons)
How can i use that feature
Which software that i need to install or how can i active it
Thank for reading my topic
What do you want exactly? Do you want to remap hardware buttons?
the hardware buttons are enabled by default. you don't have to 'activate' them.
No! My point is how can i use the sensor of hardware button ^^
Well,did you mean to use the capacitive surface of those sensors,not the buttons itself? And what exactly do you want? Please explain.
google for "G-scroll"

My point is
Instead of pushing down the 4 hard buttons (call, back, home, hang off) i just need to touch it on the surface?
You can buy gscroll (mobilesrc.com), but unless you can get the 1.x series, I'd pass. The 2.x series is buggy as hell, and it seems like development has stopped. There are some free apps you can find around here as well. I'm thinking Dredscroll is one, and there was another app called Butler (I think, lol) that allowed you to use it as a launcher with gestures on the area. Gscroll lets you swipe to scroll (it's good for reading ebooks, when it's working) as well as to launch things, but it has the annoying habit of going on smoking breaks.
As I know HTC testing software,I can say,it could not be a problem to create an app of this kind,but...
- Do we have SDK for it(I didin't searched for it yet)?
- Currently I don't know,how to send keyboard hooks to the system
- I cannot prevent/disable default keyboard hooks
So that means,I am not able to solve your puzzle. Sorry.
That was my honest opinion...
I don't think he's asking about the Vibrant-Scroll Wheel, I think he's talking about the Optical Track, itself.
[As the Home, Back, Answer, & End Call buttons require you to actually PUSH them down.]
You know, the "OK/Enter" button. When you place you finger on it [NOT PRESS IT], by default, it lights up the Bottom Hardware Keys, as well as brightens the screen.
If it's not working for you, I recommend Backing up your Important Information with either SPB Backup or Microsoft MyPhone, and flashing a New ROM. There are certain Drivers that control the Optical Track. What they are, however, is beyond me.
I have the classic controller hooked up to my G2 and am trying to use it to play Quake 3. While I've been able to remap all the buttons to get a decent FPS experience, the problem is that Quake, of course, has left/right turn as keyboard buttons by default, so even with the thumbstick left/right options on the CC being programmed to them, they are too slow to really use and make the game borderline impossible to play. There is the mouselook/freelook option, but that doesn't seem to want to work with the thumbstick on the controller--only with the phone itself. The movement and looking up/down works fine, but I need to make the right thumbstick into mouselook if I want to ever play Q3 again, and I don't know how. Do you guys have any ideas?

Did you try raising the sensitivity? If not link me to the controller you have and I'll buy it and see what I can implement into quake3droid.
I guess I should clarify, I meant the "Kwaak3" port specifically (which I installed as per random googled instructions); I haven't tried "quake3droid" itself. But I assume it's a general limitation of anything based off of Quake 3 (unless quake3droid changes it somehow) that being able to turn left and right is either keyboard-based or requires mouselook, and my problem is getting the program to recognize moving the thumbstick around as a mouse (it didn't work as "Joystick" when I enabled that, unless I was seriously confusing things), so if I set turn left/right as the keys associated with left/right on the CC, then it's godawfully slow to turn and mouse sensitivity has no impact. It seemed like less of a problem looking up and down than turning, but that may just be due to the fact that that I was fighting a bot in a mostly horizontal level so it was much less essential to look up/down than to be able to turn quickly to shoot him.
Hi All.
Just got my DX last week. I am liking the DX, except for the bootloader issue and the back/home/menu/search "hard" keys. I really miss the "soft" keys on the D1. These feel a little awkward and I also worry that they will wear out or break over time.
I installed an app called "softkeys" that gives me a floating bar with on-screen back/home/menu/search buttons and I am pretty happy with that. I have also seen the soft key application that places the keys on the side of the screen and lets them slide in or out.
But I would love to find one that shifts the screen up to allow soft back/home/menu/search to always remain on the bottom of the screen and out of the way?
Is it possible? Anyone know of such an app?
Thanks,
Rob
This may or may not work for you. Use this at you own risk.

So this may seem like kind of an oddball question, as every search I did turned up nothing but requests FOR this button (though it apparently replaced an old smiley button, which seems even more useless), but I was wondering if any modders out there had made a version of swype that had no voice input button. Ideally the real estate would be reclaimed for the space bar and/or enter keys, both of which are positively tiny in portrait mode. As a secondary consideration, it'd be nice to remove the Swype help/options button on the bottom-left, too, and an option for arrow keys (sometimes I like having them and sometimes I don't, but the option would be nice).
Just curious if anyone else cares/has worked on something like this. Thanks in advance!
So, I'm loving the hell out of my Surface RT (64GB with black Touch cover) except for two things.
1: I use the actual function keys (F1-F12) a lot more than I need a shortcut key for the play/pause button or the Share charm. Due to the placement of the Fn button on the right side of the keyboard, it's difficult to use the keys the way I'm used to. For example, Alt+F4 is now Alt+Fn+Play/Pause, and requires two hands. If anybody can find a way to toggle the default state of the Fn key, I would be super-grateful! Ideally, I'd be able to actually remap he keys like you can on advanced USB keyboards; for example, I need the Home and End keys too, but rarely use F8-F10 so I'd like to remap those.
2: The default direction of the multitouch scroll drives me up a wall (but only if I try to drive down it). It's a pointing device, not a touchscreen, dammit! I expect it to function like a scroll wheel on a mouse, or the side-scroll on older PC touchpads, or the TrackPoint scroll on the Thinkpad, or... you get my point. Yes, I get that Apple did it first; they were dumb then, are still dumb now, and MS was very dumb to copy them. On the other hand, at least Apple lets you change it! If the direction of this scroll can be reversed (preferably without screwing up the scroll wheel of an actual mouse, if I were to connect one), that would be amazing.
I was really hoping that the included drivers would include controls for these things, the way Microsoft's normal mice and keyboards come with highly configurable drivers, or most Laptops come with fairly advanced Synaptics touchpad driver controls. If any of you have contacts at MS on or near the Surface team, tell them that we really want some drivers like those, please!
have you been able to resolve the Fn key issue?

The Fn Key issue is a little bit annoying, anybody have a solution for it?
