Remapper to generate special characters?

Hi there, sorry in advance for such a stupid question... On my Touch Pro I used to have a special "Mobilnaut SYM" keyboard that got activated only in "HW keyboard slide out" position (when writing via SW keyboard it used different one) where I could touch FN right after pressing "E" to get "É" and with another FN press I got "Ě" (just an example - basically I could use that with all the letters where in Czech language there are some modifications available (i.e. S/Š, R/Ř, I/Í...). The developer of this SW refused to release new version of Mobilnaut for TP2 saying they are working on a full version of SW keyboard that will also support special CZ characters when writing on HW version. Problem? Seems like this company is a "one-man-show" so that a new keyboard seem to be far far away from release :(

So my question is - can I somehow use this utility to map FN keyboard to work the same way? Or the other way around - I have realised that this community is rich on skillful programmers - I would be willing to pay 20€ (via Paypal) to someone who could modify "Mobilnaut SYM" for TP to work on TP2 :) Any interest?

Is there any way to map Fn + <key> to {

as well as other special characters (eg {}[\] etc)

Trying to avoid having to use the Symbol key/chart, which slows my typing even more than it normally is.

Also, any idea why some apps, such as Softmaker's Text and Plan, will not see the up and down arrows correctly (even after specifically mapping them in KBConfig, while others like Word do?

edit: I found the reason for the odd arrow key behavior in Softmaker. It's a setting under Options which is specific to that application.

Thanks!

This is a very useful utility tarkim.

I'm running this app on a Sprint Touch Pro using Murda Rom 1.06 w/WM build23060. I've remapped the back hardware button to close programs. When I use the back hardware button to close Opera, I can't get Opera to open back up again no matter which avenue I take to get to Opera. Anyone else have this issue? Aside from Opera everything else works fine.

i haven't installed this yet, but it seems it could be the solution to my problems. i want to be able to switch between different language inputs. particularly, i want to toggle between romaji and english input, and perhaps toggle between my different installed SIPS themselves. anyone can point me in the right direction?

on my previous device, x01ht (japanese hermes), the keyboard had a key for toggling between the different inputs. i'd like to make this equivalent on my unbranded HK TP2.

Music Controls (key emulation?)

This little app is absolutely fantastic!

Does anyone know.....

Are there any emulation shortcuts for controlling music playback?

The main thing I want is easy access to Play/Pause of whatever is playing in media player (even if it's not the active program). Some bluetooth headphones have music controls, but mine doesn't.

I've tried Key: "19 Pause" but this doesn't seem to do anything.

Cheers

Emulate Key Press> Power button?

Is there a way make the "end" key (long press), emulate the power button?

The power management options are not working for turning the screen off then on, only off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Poke_N_PDA:
Here's a link to a page on the MSDN for Microsoft that may be helpful. It explains many of the specific functions that the program has the option to emulate.

***Feature Idea***

this program is amazing! One thing I find myself wanting to do often is move/copy the function of a key to a different location. For instance, opening email through FN + Mailbox instead of mailbox. Is there a way we could capture the current functionality of a key? This, for instance, would also let us temporarily map holding the end key to vibrate/ring (HTC programed functionality) and then capture it for use with a different button press.

Is there a way to map a hard key to disable the internet connection? I don't know if anyone has another easy solution but when you close your browser, the data connection remains active. It would be really nice to be able to map a hard key to end the data connection or better yet just end the darn connection when the browser is closed....

Also looking for the location of the executable that will launch the voice recorder? Ie, to record an audio message

EDIT: I figured out how to do it from some posts I had missed somehow. Still can't figure out the voice recorder though.)

Localisation for different languages

Yes, this localisation ist the one thing I could also use very well additionally to the fantastic functionality this KB controller already has got.

Different European special characters is *the* thing that's missing. Would be great if you would implement this or direct us to a way how this can be done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Peter Walker:
It is actually not difficult to assign international characters to a key using this software. I have just tested it and this method works fine.

Do the following:

In Keyboard config, click on Menu and "Add key"

Press the key you want to reprogramme (possibly with FN qualifier)

Key mode: Single/double click, long press

Event: Click (double click or long press, whichever you prefer or even all 3 can be set)

Action: Send text to active window

In the "Text to send:" window, use the soft keyboard to insert the special character(s) you wish to use for that button (your phone manual tells you how to do this).

Method: Key emulation (although Paste appears to work too).

Click OK, Update config, and you can now use your new international characters, etc.

I hope this helps

RDP session problem

Bingo!

The action "Send text to active window" was the thing I did not realize, thank you very much, Peter!

This KB remapper is fantastic :)

There is only ine little thing left after this:

I'm using the built in WinMo RDP client which is connecting to a terminal server and because of the english WinMo OS the english input mode is active at the Win logon prompt.

On a desktop OS I can simply key in "Alt-Shift" to cycle through the available languages on the server logon and it is shifting through the languges accordingly.

In order to do the same on the WinMo device my intention was to put the Alt function on the "messaging" (or any other) key and then press this one together with the shift key (which I did not need to reassign as it already is on the HW KB)

But no mattter what I tried for programming the "Alt" function (direct key mapping, emulate key press) I can not seem to get this "Alt-Shift" input working in this RDP client.

I assume that the Alt function will also not be working inside the RDP session if I'd manage to log on.

Has anyone tested this and found a reason or even a solution?

Thank you all again!

It seems that when I program a key, say the right arrow, for long press to be tab, the right arrow no longer works as usually when you quick click it - can't it be programmed for long press - tab and short press - normal function?

Multiple Rules/Best Practices

I just started playing with multiple rules and I'm really blown away by the added functionality that this utility gives me on the TP2. I have created rules to remap my buttons when my music player is active allowing me to play/pause, go to next/previous track, etc. from the hardware buttons. This is awesome while driving and not wanting to look at the screen. I created a rule when using the phone to use the default action on the volume and mute buttons, but during all other times these buttons act as the missing d-pad up/down (for the volume buttons) and screen rotate for the mute button. I'd like to hear what others are doing as a "Best Practices"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JeffATL:
could you provide a simplistic step by step for how you reprogrammed the music player buttons - are you using s2p?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tstall2:
I am using PocketPlayer which allows for direct mapping of buttons. I was planning on looking again at S2P which I haven't used for quite some time, but I'm assuming there is no button mapping if you are asking about it... I'll see what I can figure out however as I like the look of the new UI more than pocketplayers.

no problem, use 'send text to active window' action for this purpose

you can even map text to be sent on key press, not only single symbol

I have to say that this is the most useful utility on my TP2.

What shortcuts have people mapped?

Here are mine:

fn/A-C-V-X mapped to ctrl/a-c-v-x

Mute button to screen rotate unless in a call where it defaults back to mute. I have long press mapped to the comm manager

Power button remapped on long press to a program that allows me to slide to reset.

Fn/. mapped to app-key (93). This emulates tap and hold (very cool)

Fn/t mapped to tab

Fn/space mapped to left win key which is the start menu

Fn/enter mapped to "Close active window". works like the OK button

Fn/mailbox mapped to TF3 programs tab

Fn/SMS mapped to taskmanager

SEND mapped to taskmgr for long press

HOME mapped to TF3 programs tab for click, left win key(start menu) for double click, TF3 home tab for long press

BACK mapped to messaging for double click, pocket Alarm for long press

END mapped to Enter key for press, Default key action (End call) for long press

VOL UP mapped to up for press, volume up for long press

VOL DOWN mapped to down for press, volume down for long press (secondary rule setup during phone conversations to restore mappings to default values)

I particularly like the volume up/down and end key remappings that allows me a basic d-pad type operation (without the left/right obviously)

Anyone found a way to automatically toggle XT9 & ABC mode without having to select it from the pull-up screen?...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] momo80:
tsall2, how did you set up the secondary rule such that the volume key mappings are restored during phone conversations? I tried setting the rules with the call screen 'dialog' as a class identifier but noticed that this rule fails when my TP2 returns me to the home screen during the call (occurs when my screen turns off and i turn it on again during calls).

Is there any identifiers that can identify when a call is in process even though it is in the background?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tstall2:
My rule is setup using "Text" and "Phone", but this only works when the phone screen is active. This works fine for me unless I intentionally leave the phone screen during a call which in that case I'm OK with the volume buttons returning to their alternate behavior.

It sounds like you are suffering from the problem that annoyed me most about the TP2 until I found a workaround here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=82944

This change not only fixed the annoying phone behavior of returning to the Home screen, but also fixed the issue of anytime the screen turns off and back on not returning to whatever program was running if you have the lock enabled (often due to corporate exchange security requirements)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] momo80:
thanks. I am aware of the workaround but I would still like to lock my phone with a pin as the pin for lock programs such as s2u2 can be overcome by a soft reset (you can bypass the lock in the moments before the lock program loads).

guess I will have to live with this until HTC fixes the bug.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhalfdeadman:
Yesterday I upgraded to cyanogen's 4.0.4, it said that i would have to partition my sd card(8gb) to allow the apps2sd to automatically work, a friend of mines recommended Paragon Partition Manager, i installed it, and partition my sd card, to ext 3 format, so i have about 1.3 gb of partitioned sd card and about a little over 6 gigs for music and videos. The cyanogen FAQs said that " 4. How do I set up apps-to-sd?

You need to create a second partition on your SD card in the ext2/ext3/ext4 format. Search the forums if you don't know how to do this. Once created, the ROM will move your apps automatically and new apps will be installed to the SD by default. " but it hasnt freed up any space on my phone, and when i download new apps, it still goes directly to the phone. Am I doing somthing wrong and should i consider reformating the whole sd card, partioning over again and adding a lower amount for apps and a linux swap partion also.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
You aren't meant to make one bigger than 1.5, yours is very close so it could be the issue.

A good way to check if its working is if space is being used up on the ext3. Go to Setting > SD > secondary partition.

Also try rebooting, you might find that your internal space increases afterwards.

If neither of those work then reformat and make a smaller ext partition. I'm struggling to fill up my 500mb, why anyone would need 1GB+ is beyond me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhalfdeadman:
also,i am noticing since i have done this partitioning, that if i have my sd card in the phone and reboot, that after the android boot screen, that my phone will go blank, and if i pull the card and battery out and reboot with no card in the phone will do fine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Hold on. Your phone will only boot properly without the sdcard. You should not remove the card when the phone is on, because it can bork your entire partition.

If I was you I'd wipe the card and start over, adding a smaller ext partition.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhalfdeadman:
ahh shoot, ok then, i just formatted the partion back to fat 32, so you suggest me to just, re partition it in ext 3 and make it smaller to about 500 mb should i also make a linux swap?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhalfdeadman:
and also, although i formatted it back to fat 32, it wont let me merge the files back into 7.3 gigs. or maybe i am not doing it right.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
merge files? got no idea what you're talking about.

Just wipe all partitions on the card. Make one ~7GB FAT32, ~500mb ext3 and if you want 32mb linux swap. To be safe wipe your phone and reflash cyanogen mod.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhalfdeadman:
yea well, i dont know what is going on with it, but i have wiped, and rebooted, now and it is still blank after the android boot screen, and the sd card is in it now. i dont know what to say now.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whample:
Jesus, man...

I suppose because of lingering paranoia from the days of filling my phone up daily, I've always made an Ext partition around a gig. I've never, ever, ever even filled half of it.

Then again, since I don't usually listen to music on my phone I also Have a nearly 7 gig fat 32 partition that I don't often fill. Honestly, it's probably because I keep losing the damned jack adapter and I haven't seen the earbuds I bought with the jack attached in months.

I have so many 3.5mm headphones around and still, those damned adapters elude me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkarmyofone:
having a few issues in this area as well, all is partitioned as reccomended within the recovery console, (~7Gigs'ish fat32 and a 500MB part on ext3...) apps to SD is still blanked out... weird from my POV, as it worked fine until i updated to CyanogenMod 5.0.7 test 5..

Can anyone reccomend a more stable "2.1" based Cyan rom? or is the 5.*.* series the first of its kind to utilize 2.1? sorry for veering off-topic, but i feel my problem may be the newest releas of CM as it IS a test build...

Any words of wisdom would be greaaaaatly appreciated. not new to this stuff, but the apps2sd thing i never bothered with untill now (i do so mu h reformatting and build testing its becoming a pain to re-install all my apps... as i refuse to pay for the MyBackup app lol)

Spent too long and tried to much to try and get videos working properly on my xperia so i decided if i want to watch videos i should buy a proper video player.

But i cant decide between the Zune HD and the Zii?

i assume both will have Dedicated video converter applications

Sony couldnt even tell me which codec or how to put vids on my xperia at all so they sucked.

I cant decide though, Zii or Zune HD?
[Off-topic] punkcell:
Zune-hd hands down. Get it.
[Off-topic] ajclai08:
On the Zune you wouldn't have to worry about an encoding app, since the the zune's chipset has the encoders and codecs built-in. So you could copy over mp4's and it should encode it when it goes to your device from ur comp..and it will down scale an HD video to your screen size. Its just a matter if u want to save space or not. The zune's OS and interface would be much better and solid than anything the zii will currently have..though the zii has more mini pc like functions and seems to be more of a open device..but since the zune is windows..it should support more video formats..and be more compatible with other devices like TV's and your computer, out of the box. The zune has the software and hardware, to do stuff you cant do on a current devices. The zii is more of a enhanced version of something thats already out there..though it still has potential in the future..it seems the zunehd is the future. So I'd either get the zune or wait for a Zii like device that has the the zune's insides with more of a mini pc design, with either a more open windows OS, or a mature android OS.

I dunno the Zii seems interesting with its implementation of Android as well as its "almost-phone" experience just as the iPod touch works. The Zune HD is also drool worthy adn Samsung seem to be working on an "Omnia minus phone" I believe. If the Zune HD doesn't get the Zune software to be far different from before, then I will likely try the Zii eevn though it'll be a lil' more expensive than the Zune HD I think.

[Off-topic] ajclai08:
If you encode a movie to the ipod's screen size, but choose to keep its aspect ratio, the video will be 480x 270..pretty much the zuneHD screens resolution.You can zoom in on the touch but your cutting off the image. So with the ipod touch in-order to see the full image of the video u have deal with the black bars on the 3:2 wide screen. The zuneHD on the other hand... has a screen thats more suited for watching wide screen videos and doesn't have to stretch the image at all..easily down scaling HD videos perfectly to the screens res..and since its 16:9, so it wont have to mess with the aspect ratio either..so viewing videos on the zune= FTW your right about the making the zuneHD cheaper but its OLED, so I'm sure they chose that over a larger but stardard lcd..it probably evens its self out in cost. Though I havent seen any smaller screen devices with this screens resolution.. thats has this quality.
