first of all: great app!

only thing i don't like is that now every time i pull out the stylus the phone vibrates. maybe you could make the "window-catching-thing" optional, so you have to enable it first?!? with that, the app would be perfect to me!

figured out an other problem: the "scroll-wheel-function" in opera and tomtom doesn't work anymore...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
Hello.

As it's a background program, making vivrate the phone is the best way i found to easlily know if it's loaded or not.

If you don't like that, you can disable it by manually editing the 'Config.ini' file in '/Program Files/DredSensor':

Go under the section you want to disable vibrator in (ex: "[Default]")

Add: "NoVibrate=1"

For the scroll problem, i didn't change scrolling system from v1.0 so are you sure it was working in v1.0 and it's no more working in v1.1?

Doesn't work for all hard keys

I have the original diamond and it doesn't look like any of the key presses work.

I could really do with replacing volume and Home/Back Buttons. Do these buttons

support Long press too?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
If you go in PocketNester -> Option -> Controller, you can see that it's default mapped to 0xC4 and 0xC3 key codes.

So all you have to set in DredSensor is:

- Home: "Key:0xC4"

- Back: "Key:0xC3"

I tried that on super mario, it works, but the problem is that you can't press those keys and simultaneously press Left and Right so it's quite hard to play...

In fact you can map Volume Up and Down keyz to button A and B and it's much easier to play.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
The actual version of DredSensor doesn't change anything to volume up/down buttons.

All it catches is Home,Back,Talk and End hard keys.

About long press,

- In "Launcher" mode, you can define action for "Long click"

- In "HardKeySimul" mode, if you make a long press to "Home", and mapped "Left" key to "Home" button, it will occure a long press on "Left" key.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Furbious:
I just don't seem to be able to get this to work - I follow the first post to remap the home and back keys to the softkeys, but home always takes me back to touchflo.

Are there any other things I can try, or is it just the ROM i'm using doing this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
I don't think it's a ROM problem.

The 2 most common reasons for not working are:

It doesn't work if you have G-Scroll or something similar installed.

When you edit config for an App, this config only applies when "Window Title" and "ClassName" of the foreground window matches what is defined in that Config.

If it doesn't match any config, DredSensor doesn't catch your hard keys.

You can use wildcards in your Config so, for example, if the app you want to configure always changes its title, you can set "*" for window title.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] poiuyasdfg:
everything gose well in my diamond! Thx! :)

just a little suggestion : as volume up/down could be very useful in some app (like a game emulator), could you make them configurable in your next version?

nice job!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] megapinky:
I make a softreset and works whit no problem, when i click home button open the program i assign.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rgelfand:
Doesn't seem to work in Phone screen. I am not sure if it is because it is a dialog class. If this could be made to work, it would be great as when a person has multiple phone numbers you could scroll by pressing right or left key.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neptune:
just tested it with tetris and it worked great. :) good stuff
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Furbious:
I've nothing like that installed - I've tried wildcards, and soft resetting between altering them, even setting the default so that it should catch any class or window so that the home and back keys are soft keys one and two.

It's semi trapping the window and keys.......I just wonder if your app is not being fed the correct window name/class, or there's some extra characters or something that is fooling it.

Here's an example - setting home and back keys to the softkeys, with a config of * for window, and * for class.

On the touchflo screen, pressing home will take it to the phone screen (correct left softkey action), but once in the phone screen, pressing home takes it to the touchflo screen when it should go to contacts.

If I'm in any other application, it never traps the home key, and will always go back to touchflo. Disabling touchflo doesn't change this, it takes it back to the today screen.

I'm using shak's rom if anyone else can confirm they can get it to work using that one :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] antlane:
This is a great app and just what I was looking for! Unfortuantely though, I am finding it's not working quite as it should though.

I'm predominantly using the app to map the home key to send a left key event and the back key to send a right key event. I've set this up as the default behaviour for all apps. It works perfectly in some applications.

But in other applications, such as Pocket Outlook (for cycling through accounts or mails), Pocket RSS (for cycling through feeds or posts) or IE, before the key mappings kick in, I have to actually press left or right on the dpad. After that, the key mappings work fine. If I don't press left/right on the dpad first, the home and back keys aren't mapped and they perform their unmapped function. Do you think this can be fixed as it will make the phone so much more usable?

A couple of other things I've found:

* The keymappings don't work in either the MRU list on the start menu, nor in menus in programs.

* There doesn't appear to be a way or removing program profiles on the DredSenor config screen (not that it's difficult to edit the .inf file).

Finally a couple of enhancement requests that I think will really improve the program:

* Add an OK event. This is, I think, different to the Close and Back events you already have.

* Is it possible to take screen orientation into account for the direction key events? i.e, when the phone is open and so the screen has turned 90 degrees, the up arrow event should actually go left, the left event should go down etc. etc.

If you need any clarification on the bugs I've outlined or someone to help test, please let me know!

Thanks again for a great program.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:

Possible to "block" home key on S2U2?

Hi. When i use s2u2 to lock my phone, home key isn't blocked very efective.

Is this possible to use your program to block the home key, while s2u2 running?

Thanks,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tego:
This app works great on my Raphael, I've been waiting for something like this for long time. Finally I can use hard buttons in music plyers. Great work!!

Could you add in future versions more configuration options? I.e. single-tap event.

Also for us with HW keyboard it would be amazing if we could configure keyboard keys,too. It might seem unnecesarry on first look but it's not - coz many games are unplayable due to bad D-pad construction. In few games you can assign arrows for movement but no other key is recognized and as the arrows are on the right as the D-pad is you cannot practically use it for firing etc..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Krzysiec:
One more thing:

I noticed that after hardkey mapping ... touch panel didn`t work in focusing acion in camera.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] megapinky:
I Have the same Problem :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tego:
Mine still works as before
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
Actually the scrolling wheel doesn't work when you make hardkey mapping.

I've found a solution so, in the next version, you will be able to choose wether you let the scrolling wheel work or not.

I'll try to publish this new version asap.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
Yes it is, by manually defining

NoVibrate=1

in Config.ini.

There is a post about it in this thread.

I'll try to add this option in the config tool for next version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
Well i didn't try but there's no reason it doesn't work.

In Launcher mode, you have to define at least one "Click" or "Long click" action, otherwise, DredSensor doesn't catch the hard keys.

Maybe it could be interesting if I add a "DoNothing" action.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Dredger97:
Well it's possible to add single-tap option, but i'm not sure it's a good idea because:

1) it's really very sensitive, so you'll probably often make undesired launch

2) when you click, you always make a single-tap at the same time so it can be conflictuous...

For the others key mapping, I'll think about it for a future version...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tego:
Yes, but the single-tap could check the touch-duration and trigger if it exceeds lets say 200ms -? Sure someone will like it someone not - as with every option. But much much more important is keyboard mapping, it would be a great improvement!

Ad the autofocus/scrollwheel issue - I don't have these problems on my Raphael, camera touch-autofocus still works and for example zoom in Opera or in sms via the wheel works too. Which buttons did you remap?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jsmith8858:
Hi -- This is nearly a perfect application, very well done! It seems no one else has had great success mapping the HOME/BACK buttons in their apps, but you've got it! I also am experiencing the issue with the dscroll not working when this is running, so for now I am not using it, but I am looking forward to the next version that fixes this. (FYI, I am using a FUZE). Otherwise, though, it works great.

I actually used your app in conjunction with AEButtonPlus, and with that combination together you can literally do any sort of key mapping you want, anywhere, for any sort of keypress.

Anyway, looking forward to upcoming versions and updates. Keep it flexible, give lots of options, and continue to do what you're doing! and thank you for all of your work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] programatix:
Thanks for the great program. Well, being a greedy user, could you also include triple taps or more future release? And since it is doing so well tracking taps on the buttons, why not also extend the clicking behaviour, like AE Button Plus.

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Krzysiec:
Is it possible to map center button in next version as well ? (of course except in camera where it should make a photo.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] g2tl:
It's actually so sensitive, that my palm sweeps are very often registered as double taps. Maybe the interval should be adjustable?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cecchino:
Hi! I find this app realy great! Have been expecting this for a long time, great job!

Just one thing I was not able to solve. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this post was that I could use it with Tomraider (the game has the issue that there is no key to enter menu), but I could not solve this by my own. Has some one already tried? I made some research on the net and tried also with microsoft standard keys, but nothing.

Thankyou in advanced!

Recomended setup for emulators and games

First of all THANKS A MILLION for this wonderful app. No more accidental Home-Button-presses at last!!!! I was waiting for this issue to fix since my first diamond-day 7 months ago...

My recommended Setup for all kinds of emulators and games is to set the four buttons to Key:0xC1 to Key:0xC4 since these are the "old" Pocket-PCs four standard-buttons.

Then e.g. Tombraider is working 100%. All button-functions ok and what`s even better: no more "whoops- back to the homescreen".

One important thing is that in some programs (usually emulators) you have to apply these settings to the emulator itself (while running a rom) AND to the keyconfig settings-window. Otherwise you`ll run into trouble.

Confirmed working with this setup are:

- Picodrive

- GenPP

- PocketSNES

- PocketGBA

- Tombraider

- FinalBurn

- Worms

- THPS2

- COD2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cecchino:
I must be doing something wrong

Thank you smaver42 for your raccomandations, that was almost what I was doing, now I followed precisly you instructions but still can't make it work! when I play a game if I push the home screen still goes to Today, just as if the program was not running, even if the config has con correctly. can some one help?

thanks!

-edit- I've read the previus post and I see that g-scroll could be the reason. I had it installed but I also deleted it..could some files still mess up?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] danradu:
Thank you very much for this application! It works great for me and enhanced the overall coolness of my Diamond :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kayge:
Thanks so much for this APP and to Smaver42 for this recommendation. Working beautifully.

Just one question, can someone tell me exactly how I would go about assigning the center D-pad button. I read the first page regarding assigning other button, but I can't figure out from the Windows key assignment what the code for the centre D-pad is.

And if the four default buttons show as "HardKey_Launch1" (thru 4) in the config.ini.....what numbers would I use for the D-pad, volume and power keys to edit the config manually?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kodimagnyl:
Perfect app - but can it get even better??

First off - bravo - You did it!!

Second. It seems that you can do anything - what about an omnia-like mouse app that uses the capacative pad as mouse pad? That would be just awesome. Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] lyndel4:
I tryed this application and it works thanks but playing a game like Zenonia after remapping the 4 dpad buttons becouse it seems that the game plays in landscape but the controls or stuck as if its played in horizontal mode hope u understand so after remapping the button the gane works but the game moves slow I mean when I press the remaped dpad it takes long for guy to respond so movement is slow and so I cant play this game well and makes playing almost impossible I mean why cant it work? and am I the only one with the problem? am using a HTC prophet thanks in advance.

PS.I also tryed aebutton plus but same problem.

Eg. when am playing the game I press the up button on my dpad the guy moves right down he moves left right he moves up and down he moves left

UP=Right

Down=Left

Right=up

Left=down

I wana remap it so I can play this game well thanks

Long time WM user that can appreciate the iPhone and iPod Touch ability to listen to ClearChannel radio stations "online". But I don't understand why Windows Mobile is being left out.

If we can watch YouTube videos, certainly we have the horsepower for radio. Does anyone else have this problem? Better yet, have a solution that works? Would love to get my local Sports Radio station on my Touch Cruise, but not even Skyfire works for me. :(
[Touch Cruise General] merkman:
Well, still no luck. I found a website that tracks radio stations around the US and even internationally, but there is no link to Sports Radio 950 KJR (www.kjram.com) and I can't find a link anywhere else but their own home page, which won't work with Opera or Skyfire.

Currently running one of c_s rom's, which doesn't come with IE. Thought maybe adding IE 6.1 would help, but haven't found a link yet. Anyone know how I can add that to an existing rom?

Off to do more searching, but pretty soon I suppose I should just break down and buy an iPod Touch. :eek:
[Touch Cruise General] runningtiger:
from your Touch Cruise:

www.theStreamCenter.com/pda/

Works in pIE, Opera 8.65 and Opera Mini. Not sure if it needs pIE to actually open the radio station's link though, since it's built into the ROM on my Polaris.

I searched for your station 950 kjr and found it if it's located in Seattle (did not find it when I searched kjr 950 - go figure). However, never got it to connect. Immediately tried a ClearChannel station I listen to and it connected perfectly. Don't know if 950 kjr link is bad or if the station was not broadcasting. Perhaps, it was a blackout due to a game or something like that? Give it a try and see if you have better luck.

ps...

Tried to stream the station on my laptop via the kjram.com website (NOT through streamcenter.com) and it did not work either. Looks like maybe they are having problems at the moment and hopefully it'll work when you try.

Good luck!
[Touch Cruise General] merkman:
Still looking for pIE I can add to my current WM6 rom. The author didn't include pIE as part of the "image". I also tried your link, and in Opera I couldn't find any part of the KJR AM page I could "click" on. So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong if not just using the wrong browser.

Not having ANY luck and not sure what else to try. :(
[Touch Cruise General] pool_shark:
Wunder radio was supposed to come out on January 15th. It supposedly has 50,000 radio stations. I'm hoping clear channel will be part of that.

I can stream clear channel stations through IE on my PC but PIE says it can't do it. Opera Mobile gets close but won't actually play the music.

I can stream some stations that aren't clear channel using Opera, and I can stream NPR after downloading the .asx link and selecting it with TCPMP.
[Touch Cruise General] runningtiger:
Can't help with how to get pIE on your phone since you are using a ROM without it. All I can tell you is I stream Clear Channel stations (all others too) by going to:

www.thestreamcenter.com/pda

Then searching for the station. Once you find your station you can save it as a favorite and access it much easier.

On the front page of www.thestreamcenter.com/pda it says...

"Clear Channel Stream Announcement:

PDA users can now exclusively access Clear Channel live streams directly from the Mobile Stream Center! (Thanks Bret!). The streams and this announcement are not displayed on desktop PCs."

Clear Channel stations stream via Windows Media Player by default.

No jumping through hoops. Nothing needed that doesn't come built into Windows Mobile by default.

FYI, I am sitting here streaming/listening to your KJR 950 on my phone as I'm typing. Costas is interviewing Matt Cheney regarding drug testing in the NFL...

Good luck!
[Touch Cruise General] merkman:
Okay, so I'm a dork. Had pIE installed and didn't know it, as it was only under the menu and nowhere else.

Started that up, found it's in mobile mode instead of "look like a PC mode" like I think Opera does, and finally saw the links like you mention! Thought I was home free until...

Had some funny language prompting me. Hit one side, and ended up with a save screen. The file saved made a .php file I think, and I can't figure out how to get Window Mobile's Media Player to open it. The other options all didn't seem to do much of anything, and Pocket Streamer on my phone didn't do a .php either! :(

I'll play some more, as I *think* I'm close... but I'm not there yet.
[Touch Cruise General] merkman:
Got it!

Turned off automatic language detection in pIE, then when I went back to the link, it prompted me to save a .wma file that DOES stream in Windows Media Player. And I've saved the link as a Playlist as well! ;)

Thanks for all the help!!!!
[Touch Cruise General] runningtiger:
Glad you got something to work!

Just to clarify, the browser needs to be in mobile mode, otherwise the Clear Channel "WMP PDA only" links will not show up. I noticed when I click on a link for a station that streams via mp3, it saves a .pls file to the "My Device\My Documents" folder - but, it happens automatically. I am not prompted and don't have to approve the save. It just saves itself, then starts playing using the TCPMP player. I have not noticed any file - of any type - like that when I play a Clear Channel station. However, it's totally possible it may just save a file of some type somewhere that I have not come across. After clicking the Clear Channel "PDA Only" link, Windows Media Player opens automatically, the stream buffers and then plays. I have not come across any .wma streams to see how that kind works on my phone.
[Touch Cruise General] Verrigan:
Clearchannel Streaming Utility for Windows Mobile Devices.. Works in IE.. Doesn't seem to work in Opera, though it may be the link I'm providing.. I may possibly work on this and see if I can get it to work in Opera.

http://www.verrigan.net/cchannel.php

[edit]

This utility scans the website for the clearchannel stream.. It then gives you the then-current stream URL for that radio station. It should open the stream in Windows Media Player. (in IE.. Not with Opera)

BTW, the utility is not strictly for use on Windows Mobile, but not many other phones use mms URLs for streaming as far as I could tell. It does, however, stream on regular PCs running Windows or Linux (with a MMS stream media player).
[Touch Cruise General] peekie:
if you want most uk radio stations use coreplayer or the htc stream app , head over to www.musicradio.com and choose your favorite radio , note down the url and you get perfect streaming eg for GWR Bristol its http://media-ice.musicradio.com/GWRBristolMP3 LBC is the same address but ends with LBC973MP3Low , if you have an ipod touch or an iphone you can download an app called radio which is poor in visuals but shows the url to the stations which you can type into your streaming app , or in pie head over to pdatuner.com this has all the stations as well but in lower 64 quality

[Touch Cruise General] 0Gravity:
Did we ever get this figured out? Most of the Local Stations I listen to are Clear Channel Stations....Do they just not care that there are probably many more WM users out here then Iphone users? Or did they make some sort of exclusive deal with Iphone? I was using the http://www.thestreamcenter.com/pda method for a while and then nothing...it seems like they intentionally don't want WM users to have access to there online stream!
