First of all, you've done an incredible job with this app, thank you so much. It has really made the difference between me liking my wizard and loving it. If I could make just one suggestion, it would be to allow me to assign the right softkey press and hold to a program or action by inserting the program location in the .ini file. What I would love to do is have a press and hold of my right soft key open up my task switcher program so I can then choose to close the program, minimize, switch to another task, etc.

Thanks!

I have smartskey 0.41 installed. I put it on my SD card.

Everything works fine except when I turn off then on. I get the following message:

Notification Error

Cannot execute "\Storage Card/smartskey/smartskey.exe"

Then under that error message is this one:

smartskey.exe

The file 'smartskey' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.

Any suggestions?

Michael, thanks for the reply. Ultimately, I gave up on AEBPlus. Green/Red long press never worked, and remapping soft buttons back to themselves didn't work correctly (e.g., Right soft displays a menu, but pressing it again doesn't hide the menu like it normally does). Also, AEBPlus doesn't generate a long press until you release a button, which makes you guess when the "long" time has elapsed.

In comparison, SmartSKey is so seamless I don't have to think about it. It works exactly like I expect, although I really wish it could do just a bit more <prod>like mapping Device Lock to Red long press</prod>. :)

I've found a couple of programs that seem to lock the left soft key from performing the mapping of the start menu. Particularly TomTom and various Mp3 programs (MortPlayer and Pocket Music).

In TomTom, it will flash the start menu briefly, but won't let you select anything. The mp3 programs won't do anything. However, the right key to close does work.

Any ideas?

I am using the latest version of PocketMusic (2.72) and the left soft-key works fine with the startmenu while in PM. I do find, however, that PM is not closed properly using a right soft-key press.

Mobipocket Reader Problem

Hi water,

I looove yor software! It really made my life a lot easier.

As i am using Mobipocket reader a lot I have a question:

I have tried to put this app to the exception list, cause if not, it will exit mobipocket reader if i press the right soft button, but when I want to start mobipocket reader again, it does not reopen. Have to terminate the mobipocket reader process via Mermaid, than it works again and opens again.

Though when trying to put it in exception list, it does not work, because in the exception list there has to be the name of the window that is open. With mobipocket reader the window pane always shows the ebook that is open and that can of course vary depending what book you are reading at the moment.

Any solution for that prob?

TIA

Volume slider in today screen

Hi water, thanks for this great application.

Here is my suggestion:

In the today screen, the volume slider does nothing (there is nothing to scroll). So I would like to use the volume slider to change the volume, even if the VOLKEY ist set to 1.

Re: Mobipocket Reader Problem

Ah! That's great. I know MobiPocket and Opera freak out when they're closed forcibly by your app, and the app title changes depending on the book/website you're viewing, so adding them to the exception list doesn't work.

Do you mind sharing what you're doing to fix this? A wildcard perhaps?

Can't wait for the new version, this is the best software for the Wizard out there! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markwica:

version 0.5

Hi all,

Not all the requests are implemented. But the most wanted one are there:

Add: DPAD, use dpad for additional action (call log, messaging, programs, contacts) in phone app.

Add: VOLUMEONTODAY, volume key will check the topmost app is today or not

Fxied: improve force closed function.

UP -> Programs

RIGHT -> Contacts

LEFT -> Messaging

BOTTOM -> Call log

Now the function is hard coded, and it will only call the original contacts and messaging. It may be improved afterwards.

Dear water,

found a first bug in latest version of your software:

when in calendar app and trying to scroll down within day view with dpad jumps to next day instead of scrolling within the day. Has probably to do with your new dpad implemantation.

Can you have a look into it?

Besides the fixing of this bug I agree with howie303 and his suggestion what the dpad should do in phone app

Re: version 0.5

That would explain it. I never have the "Start->Programs" explorer window open as I use the cascading start menu of Wisbar Advance (which SmartKey works beautifully with, BTW).

In fact, I don't even keep any shortcuts in "Programs", rather I mve them to specific groups at the same level after install, or it can be a mess.

I tried the emulator, up/down will scroll day. My wizard, up/down will scroll time in the same day. My wife's 818pro up/down will also scroll day. All the same with smartskey on and off. (actually for the emulator case, I didn't installed smartskey on it). But I think the behavior is not related smartskey. To make sure that, please delete smartskey and soft reset your phone and test again, to see the behavior change or not. My program won't write anything into registry.

Re: found a bug:(

well In my case - as I already wrote - with smartkey: up/down scrolling within the day no longer works. It will go from day to day instead.

I have figured out that if I use smartkey, but set dpad in smartkey.ini to 0 I can scroll again like normal within the day with up/down.

So it must have to do with this dpad reprogramming. At least with my vodafone compact 2 rom (Rom: 1.6.3.1 GER; ExtRom: 1.6.3.102)

And I wanted that dpad function in the phone app sooooo much!!!!!!!!!! In the meantime until this is fixed, I have to go without this special function :(:(:(

Out of habit, I'd close using Smartskey instead of exiting through the program and would have to softreset to get back into MobiPocket. Now I can close it and not worry!

Now to reload Opera Mini. I had removed it as it was so buggy (in the same vein as MobiPocket) with Smartskey. Hopefully they will play nice and I can enjoy fast browsing again! :)

Water,

It now seems like everything is working as advertised. Strange, my problems seem to happen after moving the new exe over to my device. Even after a soft reset, the functionality doesn't seem to apply. I think what I have to do, is terminate the smartskey process (either via running the app again or killing the process), then copy over the new .exe and .ini files.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jglev:
Yes, I agree. That would be great. I don't know if this is possible, but it would be great if the Right and Left were customizable. Why MS removed this feature is beyond me. It should have been included in WM5 and should have been customizable like it is on every other regular cell phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] webspec:
I'm the next one to kindly request more DPAD config options. I used to be a Nokia fan, so myself would prefer left DPAD for New SMS, right DPAD for Calendar + up DPAD for Quick Dial for more convenient dialing without taping the screen.

Thanks a lot, water, for this great stuff!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
Ok water, I know you have a lot of people throwing their preferences at you, so I have an idea.

UP -> Speed Dial (We all like this, it seems)

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

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

BOTTOM -> Call History (We all like this aswell, is seems)

The reason I like this way (besides the fast that is makes the app more dynamic more personalized and thus easier for you), is because I think that I already have a softkey in the phone that goes to contacts and a hardware button that goes to messaging, and unlike Microsoft I don't feel the need to have 10 ways to do 1 thing :shock:

Just a thought; Lew

P.S. This is a great release. OH and I almost forgot you may consider a VOLKEY LIST

Like the "don't close list", except it allows users to create their own list of programs they want the VOLKEY to control the volume in. OK, that's all, for real this time. bye =)

ANY IDEAS?!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] water:
1. make sure that the ini file is in unicode

2. make sure that you have removed ; before the line and no space before or after the = (yes, my ini parse is quite stupid...)

3. To test if the ini file is loaded, set the clock speed back to 185 using omapclock, then run smartskey.exe now, and check if the clock speed changed. If no, recheck 1 and 2.

4. after you first run smartskey.exe, if you try to off and on your phone, it may be reset your clock speed, because for unknown reason, the OS won't send me a notification for the first few miniutes. Later it will return to normal...
