I would like to use a fakecursor/sphelper on my S740.
FakeCursor doesn't work (It seems like the window is too large for the screen and therefore I can't configure it).
SPHelper does work, but when it's hidden, and I'm on my home screen my 0 and 8 key's don't work (The dialer shows up when I press them, but the digits won't get appended to the phone number).
Any suggestions?
Nobody got SPHelper, FakeCursor or a similar application running on the HTC S740?
I use FakeCursor well
but standard WM SmartPhone interface doesn't support touches so I have some troubles with window select and other
ecursor
I'm a vox user, hope i can help you.
Did you try ecursor beta0.6 (use google ) ?

Thx.
I got things working the way I wanted, without cursor emulation. The things I wanted to use it for were Opera and Qmail.
For Qmail I found this solution: http://frank.hommers.nl/2009/02/13/nieuwe-keymapping-voor-qmail3/
For Opera I found an alternative which has mouse emulation built in: Torch Mobile Iris browser: http://www.torchmobile.com/products/iris.html

Ever tried skyfire? http://www.skyfire.com/
It could be me doing something wrong, but I'm confused right now...
I had a S730 with fakecursor working... I activated and deactivated the fakecursor application by pressing the home button for a while. For this to work I had to make a shortcut in the \windows directory named Long_home.lnk pointing to the Fakecursor.exe
On the S740 I tried the same, but the phone doesn't do anything when I copied the Long_home.lnk file into the \windows folder and hold the Home button for a while
Does anyone know if I have to rename the shortcut on the S740 phone, or am I doing something wrong?

There is solution for problem with configuration of the fakecursor. Press once the fakecursor.exe, it asks you to install and then setting window appears. Than use any task manager and close fakecursor task. Run again the fakecursor.exe... voala...working. Do not forget to assign fakecursor to some button so you may also close it (with enabled fakecursor common keys do not work)
Hi
Does anyone know if its possible to use fakecursor with Groovemobile?
Or any other solutions getting Groovemobile to work on a non-touch phone?
Im currently using an HTC s710 with frauhottelmanns
official wm6.5 v1 rom.... working GREAT by the way
Been looking all over for a solution if there is any.
Thanks

On S740 there are no use for Long_home.lnk because it does not exist on ROM, but you can make the trick by remapping file Short_Camera.lnk in Windows folder to open FakeCursor.exe by specifying where it's placed on your device... Once it is done you have to do a soft reset to make the shortcut available by pressing the camera button. The only problem is once changed, camera button will work only for FakeCursor, unless you remap Short_Camera.lnk again to work with the camera application.

Since I couldn't find it anywhere else I just made it myself
My Hermes allows me to rotate the screen using a hardware button assignment or using the HTC Home plugin. Using a 'touchflo'-like application -with no hardware button to spare- it was annoying going back to my today-screen to rotate the screen.
It turned out the Compact Framework 2.0 has this nice class which would do the trick: Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation
So I "wrote" exactly 10 lines of code (including class/function def) to rotate my screen.
Anyone interested: download and install the cab.
+ Does not remain in memory: rotates the screen and exits
+ Now you can create a shortcut to rotate the screen
+ tested on a Hermes (TyTN)
- Requires Compact Framework 2.0 (should be default for Windows Mobile 6.0)
- CF is a huge overhead when only needed for this program, but I'm to lazy to go for the API call (ChangeDisplaySettingsEx)
- No settings: rotates 90 degrees counter clockwise (or 90 degrees clockwise with the Rotate Screen CW cab) -on my TyTN it matches the screen setting when the keyboard slides out-
- Icon is but-ugly
- Not tested on other hardware, but I expect the worst thing that could happen is a frozen device which will work nicely after a soft-reset. My expectation is based on the fact it's a CF 'call' and not an API call, therefore it does not write to memory locations directly.
Use 'as is'.
I might be tempted to add 'settings' if people actually would use the program and have requests...
When installed on other devices: a message would be appreciated (even if is doesn't work)
no one yet
I would use this. But except for wiring it to a hardbutton, can you make it (maybe as a setting) to have it go into landscape mode when opening New SMS and then back to portrait when SMS is sent?
I also posted this in another thread but maybe this one is more appropriate.
Thanks
It does work on the Mogul/PPC-6800. Rotates the screen 270° Why wouldn't you just create a mortscript file to do this the only line that you would need is

No. But you can have a script that rotates 270° or 90°(landscape) and then opens the SMS app and when it closes the SMS app it rotates back to 0°(portrait). It would read something like this. But im not sure that you can assign it only to the creation of a new message

Mortscript is a great tool, but it requires some scripting-knowledge to get it working. A small app is easier to install for most people.
But I agree mortscript is the better option if you want a "rotate-start app-rotate back" sequence
This small app is just because of my frustration Microsoft didn't give me a "rotates screen"-shortcut.
Thank you.. Still works great..

It works with my SGH-i200 (WM6.1)!
The "i320 rotation app" is faster than your "Rotate screen" application but needs more clicks to get back to normal...
So I will use your "Rotate screen CW.cab"!

Change the Value of "Angle" to the
dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode

App Rotate screen v1.1
I tried a few upgrade files here recently -
6.1 standard - Russian - Great looking Home Screen, sliding window 'frame' grows to allow access to apps from home screen, xT9 does not turn off, I cannot select 'No T9 Help' and just type my old way...
6.1 pro - Russian - Looks great, system seems to need touch screen, Number buttons do not selct and run program, 'Back arrow' button only works for text edits, not manuvering, Some of the speed increase is an overclocking I couldn't fugure how to cut off - wasn't a problem, just couldn't navigate to selections.
6.1 standard - 'OEM Cingular bloat'- Looks and works just like OEM WM5, xT9 does not turn off, I cannot select 'No T9 Help' and just type my old way...
I settled on 6.1 Standard - Russian - looks great and I can operate WMP from the home screen - I play a lot of podcasts. I would love to see a help with the xT9 problem - I would love to just type and have no help at all.
In going back and forth to try them all and the OEM from Cingular/HTC: had to re-'unlock app' after HTC/Cing OEM reload, and then re-spl in root after that.
2 notes, the OEM wrote right over the spl and replaced it with its own - maybe all could do that?
The other is for novice users - the mobile device shows up in Sync/Explore at an imaginary root (like a Desktop display in Explorer) named 'My Windows Mobile-Based Device'. You have to enter that fake root to get to the real root, that is labeled only '\'at the top of the window - that is the real root of the device, not the software 'root'.
What are the 'excel x' files? Are they just different templates?
How can I change what is listed at the home screen? (not photos, but camera for instance)?
Thanks for the work, everything worked even when not to my personal tastes.
Edits...
found out the 'x' office files are compatible with office 2007 and later, xlsx, docx, and so forth
found out holding the * key gives me a menu to turn off xt9 (hallelulah!)

Is there any app or way to change the soft keys for each touchflo 3d tab? Like under the people tab thare is the "all people" on the left and the "menu" on the right. I would like to change the all people from going to contacts to going to pocketcm. Is there any way of going about this? Changing some other soft keys would be nice as well.
Use SoftKey manager
Thanks, already tried that one, only lets you change the right and left soft keys on the home tflo3d tab. I want to change the soft keys on any of the other tflo3d tabs like people, or messages, and programs. Any one else with any ideas?

No they used the word "each" before the word tab so they phrased the question correctly. "each tabs" or "each tab?"
But yeah, I am looking for the same thing. I will post it here if I find it. If not... Off to the reg we go!
It has to be doable because people mod the reply button all the time. If you can mod that then you shoudl be able to mod anything, right? Possibly a hex editor for exe files? I hope so bad its not hard coded but you never know.....
soft buttons on tf3d home
I'm also looking for something like this. With touchflo3d turn off, the home screen left soft button will be "calendar" by default, but when you have a reminder/notification, it switches to "notification" "reminder", etc.
when touchflo3d is enabled on the home screen, this button becomes controled by tf3d, and while you can customize the button, it no longer becomes context sensitive - I find we have to hit the icons at the top bar (live msg, reminder, etc). these little icons are a bit hard to hit. ANyone know if the tf3d homepage soft button can become a 'notification' popup activation button?
dwight.
I think that the stock rom actually has this...so I know that it's possible. That also bothers me.

Does this let me set one of my softkeys on my home screen to "notification"
Just a quick update
I switched to a new rom last night from 'aruppenthal', 'RRE HTC Fuze ROM Ver 4.5 Special Edition" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467592), and it seems that this has a different behavior from my previous rom "PROven_ROM_WWE".
in any case, my tf3d home page now has "calender" and "contacts" as the lower soft buttons, and my reminders are coming up and seem to be changing the lowerleft softkey to "dismiss". I've yet to see "notification", but i'll keep an eye on it for a few days and let you guys know about the behavior.
one thing I left enabled this time, was the "system status" window when you hit the topbar icons - this has a shortcut to a mail icon when there's a notification for that, and when hitting it, it shows the respective notification popup at the lower part of the window. That might be a 'workaround' for those who preferred the old notifications but want to keep tf3d.
dwight.

Well, the solution is actually SSMaHo! Just do a search for it. Works like a charm and lets you remap pretty much anything
I also have same issue with X1.
Att the Settings Tab, I really want to change left soft-ket to launch the System Setting but default is CommManager.
I already searched the forum and google with no luck. So I tried to looking into source code and just found something.
It is correct or not, however "settings.mode9" file have embedded LUA codes and these codes contains some soft-key assignment codes.
BTW, codes have not only one assignment code, it contains several assignments and TF3D can apply each soft-key by situation(or any registry? macro? configuration?) I think.
ok, so i want to remap the default today screen contacts softkey to bring up the touchflo 3d 2 contacts but cant find how to link to it. any takers?

this totally solves the problem in manila, touchflo3d 3.0
none of the other solution worked for me
you need manila editing
Hi guys, i was pm Captain_Throwback about this and here his answer.
You can only remap the soft keys in the Manila Home tab. Changing the others requires Manila editing, and may not even be possible. Here are the registry keys for the Manila Home tab soft keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"=""
"HomeLSKPath"=""
"HomeLSKArguments"=""
"HomeRSKText"=""
"HomeRSKPath"=""
"HomeRSKArguments"=""
Only the "Text" and "Path" keys need to be used - the "Arguments" key can be left blank.

StartButton.
25 February 2009 v. 0.1 - First release
5 March 2009 v. 0.2 - changes:
+ option to intercept the tap on the text on the right of the start button, usually "Start"
I don't think it is a good idea, but since someone requested it...
+ option to specify the full path to the launched program, works for programs on memory card
28 March 2009 v. 0.3 - changes:
+ option to hook the hardware Window Buttons for devices that have it
Developed with iLaunch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486618) in mind, it's a very simple application: you can specify a program, and it will be run when you "tap" on the start icon.
It's main purpose is to replace the Start Menu with another "launcher" application, allowing to access anyway to the Windows Start Menu by tapping on the right of the Start Button.
Someone requested to extend the hook to the "hardware Start Button", but afaik there is not such a standard hardware button, at least on WM5 and WM6.
Some devices have an hardware button for the Start Menu, some don't, some don't have hardware buttons at all.
There are other applications that can manage hardware buttons, StartButton is for the icon!
It's based on the code of GreenButton by Supbro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462963)
Both are open source GNU GPL V3
StartButton source is at Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/startbutton/
How to start a program?
HKCU\software\iApps\StartButton\Run
the default value is: "iLaunch\iLaunch.exe" (without the ")
You can specify here a relative path to your program files folder: in an english wm program files folder is, well, "Program Files", and usually applications are located inside it.
so if you want to use say "MyApplication.exe" wich is inside the "MyApplicationFolder" wich is inside the "Program Files" folder:
the full path is:
\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
and then you need to write:
MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
if you want to start an application that is not on the Program Files folder, you can write the full path instead:
\Memory Card\Program FIles\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
How to extend the hook to the "Start" text?
HKCU\software\iApps\StartButton\HookText
Set this value to 1 for hooking the word "Start"
Delete the key for hooking only the Start button
You have to soft reset your device for the changes to have effect
How to extend the hook to the hardware button?
HKCU\software\iApps\StartButton\HookWinKey
Set this value to 1 for hooking the hardware button
Delete the key for hooking only the screen Start button
You have to soft reset your device for the changes to have effect
thanks a TON for this man, it was exactly what I needed!

You have to soft reset the device when you change the registry value.
And could you post the path you entered in the registry?
Hmm, maybe someone could use this hack to make a WM 6.5 style launcher...
Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you elected to make this an application instead of a service? I'm not being critical I was just curious because I'm in the early stages of developing a GUI-less application as well and I'm trying to decide which is the best way to implement (service vs application).
Great work!

The real reason is that GreenButton is an application, and StartButton is based on GreenButton source code...

Guys,
I've searched for a while to find a simple Alt-Tab alternative for HD2.
I've found various .cabs, but none seem quite right.
There's the 'Alttab' cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357227&page=2
But for the life of me I just can't seem to assign it to a button, and even if I did, I think it would just open the .exe file rather than Alt-tab (the thread is pretty old as well).
I would like to use 'Touch X longpress sendkey Alt tab', but I already use that button for screen rotation, which I like.
The Rom I use has a dropdown TaskBar at the top, which allows me to switch inbetween open programs, so I have a workaround, I was just wondering if there was a cab that allowed for the classic Onscreen Windows Alt-tab functionality. Or if someone could confirm that the 'Alttab' .exe actually works on a HD2 and it's just my implementation that is wrong.
Thanks in advance!
Razor
was going to say that the Touch X longpress is fantastic at what you want. i find it indispensable. i suppose you could always cook up your own action screen?

The Rom I use has a dropdown TaskBar at the top, which allows me to switch inbetween open programs, so I have a workaround, I was just wondering if there was a cab that allowed for the classic Onscreen Windows Alt-tab functionality. Or if someone could confirm that the 'Alttab' .exe actually works on a HD2 and it's just my implementation that is wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I use LMT. it lets you do multiple actions by simply painting a gesture on your screen with single or multi touch. I have double right and left gestures to swap between next and previous apps. Search for LMT in xda hd2 forums. it is an awesome program. give it a try.
Thanks guys for your responses, I'll look into both your ideas.

Tried LMT and can't seem to geet it to work. I launch it, I see LMT in the top left menu bar, but as soon as I touch the screen it disappears. and nothing happens.
Any ideas?

that sounds awesome. how did you manage to configure lmt to switch between previous and next app? which program do you use for app-switching? i use double down to bring up my showroom taskmanager.
I just downloaded Touch x Longpress. Can somebody explain to me how exactly this works?
Thanks

install to device.
open a couple of programs.
now, hold down the call (green) button for 2 sec. a screen will pop up with all your running programs. touch which one you want to go to.
