Re: Suggestion

Water, thank you for your quick answer.

That's right, I can set the volume button in media player with the options. But the volume control is already set with the up/down pad and I would like to stay like that. My idea was to have the ability to control the volume with the pad and the volume button like before I install smartskey. Like for the today page before you add the functionality, the volume control button is now useless in Media Player.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
I know all want smartskey to be the swiss army knife of Wizard computing, but let's call a spade-a-spade and say enough is enough. Keep the app lite and nimble. It does what it is supposed to do hence the name "SmartsKey".

I would suggest picking a small app for true closing applications so when you press the "x", apps close. There are tons to choose from. I use the function from Spb Pocket Plus.

Thx Water.... The new smartskey.ini file works great! I guess the other file wasn't working at all.

Thx again and great job!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mitch345:
I agree with you JNGold, there is a lot of software that can do a true close. I used Spb Pocket Plus for a while and I don't like this software anymore because it is big in size and slow down my Wizard so if I can use an "all-in-one" software I would be very happy.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] texasez:
I download the ini file you posted for the 240 clock speed and it still would not work after i installed the ini file. However, I turned off and on the smartskey exe file as you suggested to someone else to reset the progam and the omapclock program would then stay set to 240 after a black screen. For whatever reason it now works. Thanks Water.

there's small bug: when i enter speed dial (in my case via DRIGHT) and then use d-pad to navigate through entries, i get smartskey actions again. for example: i have DDOWN set to contacts, so when i enter speed dial by pressing DRIGHT in phone and then use DDOWN, i get contacts instead of moving focus one item down in speed dial list. this bug does not concern call history.

Hi Water

Thanks a lot 4 yr program!

I just wonder is it possible to make VolButton to work for Up&Down in Newsland Software v.1.5 (pls see www.news-on-mobile.com). Unfortunatelly it works only in main page of the program, but if I read news then there is no any reaction at all from VolButton.

Edit the ini file on a Mac?

OK...maybe some knows the secret on using TextEdit or something else to edit the ini on a Mac and keeping the proper unicode encoding...

I've tried saving it using Unicode UTF-8, 16 and 32 and none work when it gets to the Wizard. Using Resco Explorer on the PPC, I can only actually "view" the contents of it saved as UTF-8. The other two just show jibberish. :?

great app water, it made my wizard so much better

same problem here, i assigned speed dial as dpad up and contacts as dpad down

now when i activate speed dial by pressing up and i try to scroll in speed dial using down, it activates contacts

is this because the speed dial is part of the phone app or is it a bug that could be fixed?

I noticed something odd with smartskey and TomTom Navigator.

If I have " DPAD=1 " set and am in TomTom Navigator, the DPAD up and down controls the TomTom volume up or down in 10% increments. The normal action is zoom in or zoom out in maps. Exit smartskey and this no longer happens or set " DPAD=0 " and it no longer happens.

Maybe they are related? Thanks.

Compatibility with AvantGo?

Water--your tool is awesome. Companies create add-ons not nearly this cool and charge for them! I did notice the scroll/slider seems inactive in Avantgo. The latest version of this program appears to be compatible with WM5, but I don't think was written for WM5 as it has no support for softkeys. Is there a different function call that the scroll slider would use for older applications to make them work like PIE?

Not to add to your workload, but whenever you get around to looking at this would be great. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Sorry if this bug has already been reported.

If you are in any view inside the phone application that requires a dialog box, changing the dialog box selection between Yes and No with the DPAD will initiate the DPAD macro as set in you ini file.

Example. Go to the phone application and then go to speed dial. Highlight a speed dial setting, go to Menu > Delete. When you move the DPAD between the Yes and No selections, the selection will change but you will also be taken to the apps assigned to those buttons.

When the softkey not work, try to click directly the menu on screen to see if it is okay. Because smartskey will not change the on screen action. If it can call PI, it is smartskey problem (mostly smartskey hang for some reasons). If not, it is the problem of PI.

Hiya,

This is a GREAT application, but it is throwing repeated "notification errors" on my Cingular 8125.

Hi Water,

i have used almost every version of your program. After using the 0.4 version (i had installation problems first, where the ini file was gone. A lot of people reported in here), it worked really well. I main feature for me is to recover the clock frequency.

Now i have switched to the newest version 0.52 since i wanted to use the new DPAD functionality. But I have similar porblems to install: Now the clock recovery doesn`t work any more. I have it done several times (unzip the downloadad file, copy the files to the PDAs storage card and finally from there in the target dir. I used the Total Commander built in editor to edit the config). Nevertheless, the clock recovery dont works again.

If i start smartskey, the clock is speed up to the set value. I switch the PDA off and on and again: The same in the config file specified value. Again on off and: The origianl value of 180MHz.

Is it now again the ini file? Can you report the exact installation sequence (i have read the pdf several times) and with wich editor i can edit it?

Is it possible to integrate a settings form which stores the settings to the ini file - So you can really not use the wrong editor...
