Can you give me a link where i can find this tombraider, i am a fanatic.
i found the link on google searching for tombraider pda
http://www.tombraidertogo.com
hope it's the right one
Just discovered the lack of buttons, I am going to try the different key controls A B C, have you tried those yet? I was hoping the save/pause button is remapped. Will let you know.
All keys are available
use the contacts and calender buttons and the rec button for the above mentioned functions.
The game is almost a direct port - with the exception of no multiple key presses - so you cant make Lara do that handstand climb manouever.
I am glad that I never played the game originally on the playstation - so I am slowly trying to complete it for the first time.
4 months in and I am only up to level 5!!!!!

I remember I installed the game, but I had to take it out, because the only way that I could quit the game was resetting the machine, how do you quit?
Jayman are you using a xda?
I cannot access the menu or quit too.
Nope neither can I, how do you map those buttons to save/pause etc, as the man said, the only way out is a soft reset.
Right:::
I use control config A.
Flip screen left and toggle off both running and walking.
Within the game, all soft buttons(ie those on screen) should work as advertised.
D pad -directs Lara
calender - gets out current weapon.
contacts - fires or actions.
record/volume button - accesses menu.
In the menu u can go up and down 3 levels
Inventory - here are your weapons medipaks compass, press the soft select to use a medipak (Lara will groan) or to change weapon.
Above that is Items where you keep anything you have found.
The bottom screen is the options where if you select 'game' you have the option to load or save a game. You can also exit to the title screen.
Then from the title screen you use the same option to exit back to TODAY.
I have also found that if i press one of the phone buttons - it exits imediately without the need for a soft or hard reset and when you restart the game providing you have not hard or soft reset, you are exactly where you left the game.
Hope this all makes sense and is of help to you. If this does not work for you it may be the OS you are running or some software that is providing a conflict. This all worked on original OS and SE1.2 but I have not upgraded to WM2003 yet. If you have any other software that has the rec/volume button mapped - this may be the conflict to prevent you getting to the menus.
Good luck and Good Raiding.
Jayman.
(PS - I never enjoyed single player games on console or PC - always prefered to beat someone in the room - but it is great on a mobile platform when caught out with time to kill - yet would not carry a handheld - so this game is a godsend hence earlier post - MORE PLEASE)
Thanks Jayman.
The copy I am testing is probably a demo :wink:
guys a bit tarded :|
D pad -directs Lara
calender - gets out current weapon.
contacts - fires or actions.
record/volume button - accesses menu.

Not quite accurate.
I haven't tried the Volume button on Tomb Raider specifically, but there are plenty of games that allows you to use the volume button.
Between the ones I can remember are:
Motocross Stunt Racing, Morphgear emulator, Darxide EMP, etc.
i got the full version of tombraider and i could never get the medipk and options up to exit i had to soft reset :\ even when i remaped buttons it dont work for volume :|
Well pressing volume or any of the phone buttons does nothing.
Jayman, are you using an XDA, the phone buttons on mine do zilch, I cannot quit or get a menu once I have started a game.
Yeah I am using the XDA.
I did nothing special when I loaded it on so I can not see how yours would be different - unless you have mapped the buttons in another application that could be affecting it?
Try reinstalling and make sure all apps are closed right down before booting. Also - shouldn't make a difference - but i usually turn the phone off before playing games.
Jayman.
I have spent ages with this, without success, there is no menu at the foot of the screen, just have left/right arrows bottom right, and the movement icons, the volume key does nothing, neither of the phone keys red/green does anything.
i told you it didnt work but no one listened :| only way to exit is soft reset
gaz
i wonder why... i have an emulator, that emulates an old computer of mine, (colecovision ADAM), and IT allows me to map all 5 buttons to play the ADAM roms. hmmm
im sure its just a programing glitch.
i installed the game, great graphics.. but its too sufisticated for me
i like arcade cames, like TURJAH II, SIBERIAN STRIKE X and such.
Is there any button mapping utility that will allow me to map one of the hardware buttons to a keystroke? Specifically, the ~ keyboard.
AE Button Plus?
I was going to say, AE Button Plus. But not according to the program's main page or screenshots.
mapping a button for a single keystroke is a little ridiculous. im not sure you're going to find any app that does this. it doesnt seem like anyone would waste their time making something like that when you have a built in keyboard with all the buttons. the fastest way to get a ~ symbol is to press Function and Q so you get the ' @ ', then press Function and Space to get turn @ into ~.
or, double press function, then press Q followed by Space
Incredible as it may seem, such a program exists, and better yet, its donateware.

Though it won't work on android, some of the Linux guys may be interested in talking to the developer to solve some of their problems with the hardware buttons.
You could write a very (and I do mean very) simple mortscript and assign it to a hardware button as well.
For example, here is the contents of a mortscript you could write
Code:
Sendkeys ~
That would be the whole script...one line. If you wanted to get fancier, you could have the script do the ~ only if you are in a certain app. Otherwise, it would retain the original function, but that would take a little more coding.
To answer the above question.... I can't use the Function Sym in the program I am using (Logmein), so I need to figure out something different.
The above program sounds good. Where can I find a list of keycodes, or what is the keycode for the ~?
Thanks!
Is anyone using a good text editor/word processor (spell check, large files, etc)? Needs offline support because I won't have wifi everywhere.
Alternatively, does anyone know of a good soft keyboard with ctrl keys? (thinking I can use this keyboard, if it exists, with emacs through optware in a terminal window)

Check out irssi connectbot in the Market, I might have the name wrong, just search for irssi. It has several meta keys in a special menu, although not sure it's enough for emacs. It works great for screen and irssi though.

Yeah after some messing around, i think i might roll with nano over emacs anyway.
For what it's worth, I decided to give this combo a try:
Better keyboard 8 - multi touch, better layout of secondary keys, directional arrows, can set key height, can disable fullscreen keyboard entry so you can see the context of what you're typing
Better terminal emulator pro - ctrl key support, temporary re-map of volume keys for tab completion, better support for resizing terminal when keyboard opens in landscape mode
Nano, installed through optware - most straightforward of the well-known terminal based text editors, can be set up with word wrap and spell check
Can anyone list or link me to a list of keyboard and mouse commands for our tablet?
I have a bluetooth mini keyboard* with a built in mouse and I would like to be able to control my tablet from my couch while it is connected to my TV's HDMI. However, I cannot figure out how to do basic tasks with the keyboard.
* The keyboard is this type:http://compare.ebay.com/like/400254296761?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y
Also, I'm not sure if the commands are tablet-specific, Android specific, or if they even exist at all. (I have searched XDA and Google, but because I do not know exactly what keywords to use, I am coming up without answers!)
Shortcuts I mainly need:
1-3) The three icons in the lower left of taskbar (they don't appear through HDMI): Back, Home, and the Prev Apps
4) Change homescreens/swipe left and swipe right (I can long click and move the mouse to do this, but it is difficult to do with my mouse since it is a knob type)
5) Long hold
6) Any other commands... heck, let's make a database if it doesnt exist already!
In case it matters: I am using ICS 4.0.3 stock (with root).
Ok, wait, I kinda figured some things out, but I still need help I think:
1) Back = (correction) RClick for some apps.
2) Prev Apps =
3) Still don't know Home EXACTLY, but while in an app, Right Click seems to exit to Homescreen... but if on a different Homescreen, pressing RClick will not bring you back to your default Screen. RClick does NOT seem to act like Back at all though.
Correction: RClick seems to act as Back in SOME apps.
4) I found that I can change Homescreens two ways:
a) Move mouse to far R/L side and click
b) Use the scrollbar for the mouse (the one used to scroll through webpages, etc); Downward = Left and Upward = Right
If there are any other methods, please list them.
5) Long Hold = Long Click
... *facepalm* I shouldve guessed this one from the start!!!!
6) Still, if anyone can fill in the blanks and list any others, it would be helpful to myself and I am sure many others.
I have a Bluetooth keyboard that I use and pressing the escape button on it seems to act as a universal back button in every app.
Sent from my DROID RAZR Maxx using XDA Premium
Hello everybody,
I have an Iconia A500, running with Jelly Bean / rooted, Cyanogenmod 4.1.2 from Randomblame.
So far so good. As most of you know, this device supports bluetooth mice and USB mice. I am using both kinds of mice quite often for working in office tools or for the good old ScummVM games.
Now to my question. Every mouse I use only has the left click function. Right click does the same as left click. Is there a possibility to configure the right button? In Office I would like to get the "long press" instead, in the ScummVM Games I would like to get the "default action", wich is highlighted on touch.
I dont mind if I can configure directly in Android or if I have to use an app. I would be glad for any idea which could help.
Thank you!
I don't think you can get right click of the mouse on the phone, because if you connect the mouse your clicks (any button) simply translates into "touches". As "left" and "right" is not something about "touching" the screen. I tested this on Nexus 7 (where you just plug mouse and get black mouse cursor visible on the screen) -- no one app didn't react on "right click" or "mouse over" (no a button to highlight). You can click and drag - that is ok and no problems. You can mimic any touch action, but i didn't notice event implementation for mouse specific staff.

Hey,
thank You already. For my Iconia it's the same. Just plug in the USB Adapter or connect the Bluetooth device and it's running with this black arrow. But theoretically it should be possible to get different actions by different buttons. The mice are sending the signals for right and left button (Windows PC detects it). Only Android is just configured to understand them all as "left" (In previous Android Versions the right button often was configured to "back").
What I need is something, which defines my right button as long press or something else - similar to the Logitech Setpoint software for PC (There you also can set shortcuts, Keyboard Combinations or whatever for nearly every button). I am sure, I am not the first one thinking about this, so isn't there any app/driver/trick to get this working?
I guess i can't give you concrete answer or tip here.
I am only wonder if they had support for all mouse stuff in previous Androids, why they decided to remove it from 4.1
...
technically I think it is possible that right click work under some kernels the version before last of es explorer used to work with right click like in windows but now does not... I have a XOOM runnig team eos 3 stable release
Plenty of Remote Desktop software can "decode" right click so obviously right click and left click are registered differently from android but as android lacks "right-click functionality" (it) replaces both as a left click (touch) trigger. The trick would be to replace "long touch" for right click.
To those who have bought (for example) a Note 12.2 tablet for samsung, plugging in a mouse and using "Hancomm office" would turn the tablet into an ideal laptop. After all it's big enough and now that the software is pouring in I see no reason why should Google (or at least a ... hack) won't give us proper right click. Long click is tedious for any serious consideration...
In Android every app has a menu, some devices like the Galaxy S3/4 have a hardware menu button, hitting right button could emulate the hardware menu button (it does have a specific key code, it can be opened from keyboard), or it could be used as a back like on old versions of Android (makes sense, you "enter" with left and "go back" with right), or it could easily emulate a "reasonably long" click (2.1 secs) or any keypress. The only thing that does not have *ANY* sense is making it equal to the left button like on recent Android. That's already there, no value added. If only someone could make an App to configure that choice...
Samsung Roms
I was using Samsung Roms before where when the bt mouse was connected the right button was acutaly define with "Back" and the middle mouse or mouse wheel was getting me "home".
However when I swiched to CM 12.1 the feature was not there, but as you describe left and right mouse are doing the same and mouse wheel is activating the search menu.
I haven't found any settings for that.
But I would be interested in any input on that regard.
Cheers
Joe
