On phone app, choose Tools->Options->More
Hardware button Lock
'Lock all buttons except Power'
Sorry, misunderstood.
You want to lock it whilst it is powered on. Don't know how.
On PocketDiVX and PocketMVP, you can map the hardware buttons. So if you map both hardware buttons and all directions on the rocker keypad to something which doesn't interfere with MP3 playing (such as 'increase brightness'), you're all set.
I would keep one (maybe a rocker direction?) mapped to toggling the screen on and off to save batteries though.
sorry for souding stupid but...
WHAT???? LOL :lol:
i have no idea what you said.....sorry, i have only had my xda 1 day and i dont even know how to use msn messenger yet
lol.....if u could explain in dumb terms...i would be greatful

well windows have smart key settings like if you
hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key the active problem close
and if you hold down CTRL + ALT and hit DELETE it reboot if it's win9X and give you the taskmanager if it's NT/2k/XP
some you can set yourself to do what ever action you want it to
well it's the the same thing with your XDA when you are running a program you can change what the buttons on your device does
so when you are listening to mp3 then you set the keys actions to something which does not interfear with your music playing, you can prob set these up in the program you use to listen to music with
and in the end a7GH add that it would prob be a good idea to set on off the buttons action to turning off the display to save juice
I have changed my Diamond bay a Touch HD and what I miss more is the d-pad.
I really need it because I read a lot on my device and it is necessary to turn pages, etc. So I searched for a solution.
I've using remaping keys programs for some days, but they are big and have some limitations so I've done my own program with a very simple behaviour:
-Volume UP is remaped to d-pad UP. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad DOWN. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Double click Volume UP is remaped to d-pad LEFT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad RIGHT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume UP is remaped to d-Pad RETURN with Hold.Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume DOWN is remaped to d-Pad RETURN.Does not support autorepeat.
-If a call is being established or is active the volume keys will behave normally.
-Running the file a second time will close the resident with a small tone.
The program is small (7Kb) and remain resident without making use of CPU, it is simply a keyboard hook.
To install it copy the file werever you want and execute it. If you want it to start automatically after a Soft Reset make a link (DO NOT PUT THE FILE DIRECTLY) under \Windows\Startup or your locale equivalent.
REVISIONS
June 24, 2009: I've liberated the source code in order to allow other developers to improve the concept!!
August 28,2009:
-Soved the Back Arrow issue on HTC devices.
-Added support for unloading the program

really nice app
but does it work in touch pro 2 ?
I've tested it only on a Diamond and on a Touch HD.
But the technology should be the same for the TP2
well this is brilliant! and it works great on my blackstone.
few suggestions:
- it would be a good idea to have command-line support so that you can turn it on and off easily by creating shortcuts or assigning hardware buttons to enable or disable it, or having a status check so that if it's on, next time you run it will turn it off and vice versa.
-it would be great to have both the "ok" button support and the "hold ok" button support so that you can load "right click" menus.. (you can have the upper vol button function as "ok" and lower vol button function as "hold ok")
wonderful work
it works perfectly on my HD!
Virtual button interrupt on HD?
hi all,
installed this on my HD and it works well, but i notice that when i try to use the virtual button to go <Back> (looks like a left arrow <-- ), now it goes up instead.
anyone else have this issue?
This is a fantastic app, will be useful specially for those who play games on their phone. One query; is there a way to remap the vol key buttons? For example can volume up key be mapped to left key, and volume down key mapped to right key. I say this because in Diamond and Touch Pro the Up and Down key on D-Pad functions normally, its only the left key and the right key that has a problem.
I just check - program works good on samsung i780. Is it possible to disable left/right/return function, but remain only up/down? Could you please add (in future version) any configuration file?
Best regards
Tomasz

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same here on the Diamond 2, otherwise, fantastic stuff! If we can either get the Back Arrow button to act like the OK, or return it to its former glory, we are good to go!
Brillant, and I agree with the ML idea
fantastic. been looking for something like this for my touch hd
Awesome app! It works great with mobipocket. You can easily start/kill it with mortscripts (put links in the start menu, and you can do it with voice command). Edit the path as necessary.
kill("\Program Files\VolD-Pad\VolDpad.exe")
run("\Program Files\VolD-Pad\VolDpad.exe")
well done job
Nice work thx
vol buttons as a d-pad
Hi....anyone got it working for worms world party?? Kinda miss that game after changing from a kaiser to a blackstone....
thanks in advance.
Great App! Thanks!
Great stuff. I would add my vote to remove the left/right functionality and replace with 'OK' and 'context menu' support. I miss my Kaiser scroll wheel
It is difficult to do smething that will be perfect for all
I'll try to add support for exiting the program (easy) and for context menus (more difficult).
I also revise the issues with the back key.
EDIT: Done
One thing, What context menu can be reached with holding return? I wish to know for testing it
Thanks
Usefull app, I will get use to it.
Does not work for the TG01! After soft-reset it hijacks the bluetooth, switching it on and removing the BT link from the comm manager. It will not allow delete from any folder where it is copied! even the shortcut will not delete. (Had to manually disable the BT, then it auto deletes the shortcut, andyou can delete from a secondary folder. After soft-reset it will again delete from Primary folder, releasing control of the BT!)
I come from a G1 where the Dialer, the End Call, and the Camera all had dedicated buttons. I feel like the Vibrant would be so much better if it had these. I'd like to develop an app or simply code something myself that we could flash as an update but I don't know where to start as I am not a developer though I wish I could be.
Pretty much this is how I would map everything:
Menu: Menu
(Long Press) = Dialer
Home: Home Screen
(Long Press) = Recent Applications
Back: Back
(Long Press) = End Call if making a call/Sleep if not in a call (Could possibly be Voice Search)
Search: Search Function
(Long Press) = End Call if making a call/Sleep if not in a call (Could possibly be Voice Search)
Power Button: Camera
(Long Press) = Power Options (Silent, Power Off, Reboot)
Note: If this is in the wrong section, I apologize and please move it. If you are a developer and like my idea, please to get to me as I'd like to work on it as a project. We could possibly sell it on the market and provide it for free for the people her on xda development.
It'd be awesome if they changed what the power button did when the camera app is up. It makes sense to lock the screen when in camcorder mode so you don't accidentally stop or pause it, but in camera mode it's essentially useless. It'd be awesome if it was changed to a shutter button even if it doesn't have the two stage button.
This phone would be so much better with just a few little modifications.
was wondering if there was a reg edit to change how much the volume increases/decreases on one press of the volume buttons... i think it changes three bars on one press of either button, any way of making it one bar per press of the buttons... three is too much, for me anyway...
cheers
Just press one of the volume buttons so that the volume dialog comes up and then use the screen to change the level. You can go up and down 1 bar at a time, rather than 3.
You can have up to 16 levels (instead of 6) with Volumex

Plus other great volume related features.
Hi everyone
I just changed the screen of my hd2 but when I put the cover the volume button doesn't work.. I can push it with a sharp object (screwdriver, toothpick) so in fact it's not broken but it's a bit boring tu up and down the volume..
I'm on android (ICS) and I want to know if there are any alternative "tweaks" to replace the "real" button ? Like on iPhone when your home button is broken you can download a tweak via cydia..
If someone can help me, it will be great
Thaaanks !
PS : Sorry for my english..
no one know ?
There are widgets and apps that you can use to change volume within Android, but if your device uses the volume buttons for CWM then you'll need the physical buttons working.
Well you should be able to go to your settings and volume options and adjust it that way, alternatively clicking on the clock on the bottom right corner should bring up a menu that volume is normally located.
@spunker88 Yes for cwm I use the physical buttons.. What's the names of the apps and widgets ?
@Bernie Nolan Thanks dude
But the main problem is when I'm doing a phone call I can't up/down the volume..
I use Volume widget, you can select which volume you want to adjust (music, ringer, etc) or have a widget with multiple volume toggles. Its pretty nice and free. During a call you would have to go back to the home screen to change volume.

Thank you I just downloaded an app on the market
