Thanks hkultraman for your wonderful Alt+tab

I found a trick to quickly use this Alt+tab

- We all know that we can tap&hold leftkey to bring up Start Menu

- And we all know that there are maxium 7 icons on the 1st upper part of Start Menu and these icons locate in Windows / Start Menu (not in settings or programs)

So we do like this

1/Make a shortcut of Alt-Tab to using a file explore (send to start menu as a shortcut)

2/ Delete a shortcut in Start Menu (ie phone)

3/ Go do Windows \ Start Menu \ Program - copy this shortcut to the Windows \ Start Menu \

Now use it :)

I love the application but one function I often use doesn´t work with smartskey installed. When someone calls and I dont have the time to answer the call I usually press the volumekey downwards and the callsignal becomes silence but the the caller will not be dismissed. When I do that with smartskey installed the signa doesn´t become silenced. Is there any other way of making the signal silent without pressing the dismiss button ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
if it would be possible to customize actions, so why not customize them all? i mean:

UP -> DPADUP=\WTEVER1.exe

RIGHT -> DPADRIGHT=\WTEVER2.exe

LEFT -> DPADLEFT=\WTEVER3.exe

BOTTOM -> DPADBOTTOM=\WTEVER4.exe

and that's it! everyone would be satisfied. :)

another thing which comes into my mind is some small GUI applet (i.e. in control panel) to configure smartskey in easier way than editing ini file, especialy if it has this 'strange' encoding...

Acctually I couldent. It kept sayign access denied. Obviously because I pasted the .exe in the startup and not a shortcut to it... right i know, idiot.

So anyways the mem maid did the job, but I had to do a soft reset to get memmaid to see the running proccess after install. But it worked great and now its all fix and workin damn proper. Thanx again dalamario. Also Thank you water for such a sweet and quick little app =)

at the moment I have VJOkButt assigned to the "IE" buttont, but holding the right soft-key would be much nicer and would free the "IE" button for something else :)

For instance, if both holding left and right soft-keys were assignable, I would have assigned VJOkButt to the right one, and some task manager - to the left one, making the Wizard one-hand operable with my fingers below the screen only.

@joebongo

Ive found the new version doesnt do that however i was confused by it at first as it works on the release of the key by that i mean ive mapped the calendar soft key to open the start menu on a long press though it does this on the release of the key rather than having it appear after a set amount of time (which i prefer) as with the softkey app. Does that make any sense ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] AE:
Yes, it was 1.x version incompatible with Wizard (as it was noted everywhere). 1.x installer kills hardware buttons starting with 5th on install and deinstall.

The new 2.1 is out. It is compatible to any hardware, not harm buttons, requires no reinstall for changing settings, allows direct action assignment (skipping virtual buttons) and more.

Hi guys,

I am really new to this, but heard that smartkey is a good way to get teh omapclock to run all the time after wake up?

I have repeatedly tired to follow the instructions on how to install the smartkey files but it doesnt work for the overclock. I created a file in program files and put the omapclock file in there with the smartkey files.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
The reason not to customize all directions is simple. Do you know the command line to open speed dial, or call history? Cause I sure don't. That's why I suggested just the Left and the Right. However if it is possible (I suppose it is, with some nice programing from water) he could make all directions customizable.

Something liek this;

UP -> DPADUP=speeddial or \program.exe (if its not "speeddial" or "calllog" then it executes it as a command line)

RIGHT -> user defined (in the .ini, DPADRIGHT=\WTEVER1.exe)

LEFT -> user defined (in the .ini, DPADLEFT=\WTEVER2.exe)

BOTTOM -> DPADDOWN=calllog or \program.exe (if its not "speeddial" or "calllog" then it executes it as a command line)

Yet another suggestion, sorry; Lew

Hey guys, I downloaded Smartskey and placed it in my programs folder under the Startmenu folder in the Windows Folder. I made a shortcut to it from Windows/Startup and I also placed the config file in the same folder with the Smartskey.exe file in the programs folder. I then placed the Omap overclock program in the same programs folder so I could assign it to a button.

I noticed that the new version ".5" of the Smartskey program said that it would make the Omapoverclock engage after the device wakes up. Mine does not. When it wakes up it keeps telling me of a notification that it can't launch the file from My Documents. I don't even have the file in My documents so I don't understand it. Everything else works on the fine except for the error notifications and the fact that it won't make the Omap Overclock engage after the device wakes up??

Any help is greatly appreciated and good job onthe program I am sure I am missing something.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrDva:
The OMAPClock doesn't seem to be working for me either, I'm running 0.5

I put OMAPClock.exe, smartskey.exe, smartskey.ini in the \Program Files\Smartkey folder

Also

If I create a shortcut in the \windows\startup folder none of the smartskey.ini settings I changed seems to work.. the most obvious is the volume on the today screen working when I don't want it to :P

Very nice app..... I'm not sure if it falls in line with what you are doing but something really cool that I would like would be seeing the clock rate next to the clock or somewhere else on the Today screen or tool bars.

Also by 'Soft Keys' I'm assuming you mean the keys just above the Phone Send and End Keys on either side of the D Pad. Those didn't work as described in fact after running the app they stopped functioning all together.

Still I really do like the idea. Thanks for all the work.

Doesn't survive soft reset on 8125

I'm using .5 on a Cingular 8125 and everything works OK, until a soft reset. When I first run smartskey, I see that it places a shortcut in Startup. I have the program and ini file in /Program Files/smartskey. After a reset, the shortcut is gone.

I also noticed that it only minimizes most programs instead of closing them.

Re: Doesn't survive soft reset on 8125

You soft reset by the reset hold or holding the power button? You should hold the power button to off the phone and press it again to on.

water
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jsp91470:
So if you reset by using the reset button, you lose your startup shortcuts?

Is that supposed to happen?

What about resets by applications? For example, I use Sprite Backup which resets the device twice during the backup process.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] water:
WM5 has cache for the file system. If you reset the device using the pin, you will randomly lose files and records, not only smartskey's file. The pin is used for system hang only.

Screen off/on press'n'hold PIE button feature request

Fantastic application Mr Water.! Thank you very very very much!

Now for a feature suggestion:

Configurable press and hold on all hardware buttons!

Well, at least on the Pocket IE button would be great. Ideally I would like to be able to press and hold the PIE button to turn the screen off and on (i.e.. the screen only, not standby). That way I could listen the music while the phone is in my pocket without worrying about what's being pressed on the screen. Also, seeing as push email notifications don't work properly when the unit is in standby, the "screen off/on press'n'hold PIE button" feature would be ideal for this too. What you reckon?

Keep up the good work Water. It's greatly appreciated!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jason Lee:
aah, I see what you mean. I don't care for the smart dial too much so I had it disabled. I turned it on and played with it and it is one of those programs that registers on tap and not on release.

I don't think there is much water can do about that.

I did stumble across something that might help you with out the tap and hold. when you scroll to someone you want to call from smart dial instead of taping and holding press the right or left d-pad buttons. the letter on the right will change. m for mobile, w for work, h1 for home one, and so on. this will allow you to get to all the same numbers that pop up on the tap and hold menu! I didn't know it would do that, pretty cool!

The only thing you can't get to by taping left or right is the sent text messa option.

Edit:

although if you have water's program running it might override this. You will probably want to disable the phone d-pad option if you can. I'm not running it right now so I don't know if it breaks the left and right buttons in smart dial.

Fixed: Can use volume key to switch to vibrate, off mode by volume slider

Fixed: Exception List will not check the classname of the window as well, so you can also put applications that will change title in the list.

Added: change the behavior of the dpad, and user can set the action for each direction using DUP, DDOWN, DLEFT, DRIGHT

--

For program that will change title, you can put the classname into the exeception list:

For Opera:

APP00=opera

APP01=OpWindow

For Mobipocket Reader:

APP00=Mobipocket Reader

--

If can change the mapping of the DPAD by:

DUP=x

DDOWN=x

DLEFT=x

DRIGHT=x

Where x means:

0:	Do nothing

1:	Call Log

2:	Quick Dial

3:	Contacts

notification error: cannot execute smartskey.exe

Hi, Water.. Thank you for your wonderful program.

I am having one small problem. I’ve moved the installation a couple times, as the first two times I installed it, I didn’t put the application in its own directory because I'm apparently dense. Each time I moved it, I uninstalled it as you instructed first. Now, however, I get alerts that state:

“Notification error: Cannot execute [path/]smartskey.exe.”

This occurs if it’s installed or not, so something is trying to call it in locations where it used to be. I now get alerts where “path/” is each of the two previous installation locations. These pop up at boot time, and then periodically. Please advise?

Thank you, so much.

After the KJAM is shutoff smartkey starts up but the overclock program does not. The setting is set to 240 in the program but the speed is 180.

I can manually set the overclock to 240 and it works until the screen goes black and then it reset to 180.

Firstly make sure that the clock rate change when smartskey start, that means your ini file is correct. Then ignore it even smartskey won't set the clock after power on.

Suggestion

Hi water,

First, Thank you for this great software !

I would like to suggest you two improvements for next versions of smartskey.

1. In windows media player, I would like to change the volume when using the volume up/down button.

2. When I'm using my Wizard with the stylus and click on the OK/close, I would like to have the same effect than when I use the right softkey (close all soft but hide the application in the list).

Do you think it is possible to add those two functionnalities ?

Re: Suggestion

Water, I think the volume control in media player mentioned here is for phone volume, not media player volume control. I noticed the same thing. I may have turned the phone volume down and when I go to Media Player I can use the assigned buttons (up/down on dpad) to set media player to 100% but it's still low because the phone volume control is only 50%. Up till now I've had to remember before starting media player when on the today screen to set phone volume to 100% before going to media player.
