Remap the Panel button of Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 [Windows Mobile]

Do you want to use the Panel button of the Xperia X1 for something other than launching the panel interface? There is a way to do it, but certainly not the most user-friendly way. It involves registry editing and messing up the registry can have undesirable effects, which may involve committing hard-reset.

Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Get a registry editor for windows mobile. If you use Resco Explorer, you can use the free registry editor that comes with it. PHM Registry Editor works fine too
  2. Go to HKLMSoftwareSonyEricssonPanelManagerApplicationName. Here application name is the name of the application
  3. Make sure you point directly to the actual EXE and not the shortcut file (lnk)
  4. Make sure the path is in the following format. “..” should be there as prefix in every case.

“..Windowspword.exe”

SensorScroll [HTC DIAMOND and HTC TOUCH PRO]

The SensorScroll uses the Diamond’s scroll wheel to perform scroll-up and scroll-down functions. By default, it performs different functions in different applications. For example: In IE mobile, it scrolls few lines or hop to the nearest link; in notes, it zoom in/out and so on. When using SensorScroll, it OVER-RULES their functions and performs scrolling-up and scrolling-down.

Instructions:
1. Install the application. It adds shortcut in Programs and in WindowsStartup folders
2. Right after installation you may run the application from Programs shortcut (name is Diamond SensorScroll)
3. To use application open a Window with horizontal scroll bar like Programs or File Explorer and try rotating the scroll sensor clockwise for scroll down and counter clockwise for scroll up.
4. Have fun!
5. To stop the application run it again and it will give you an option to stop it.

DredSensor – Reassign Answer and End key when needed [HTC TOUCH DIAMOND and HTC TOUCH PRO] – quick look

It is not unknown fact that the HTC Diamond’s and HTC Touch Pro’s D-Pad is very difficult to use. Quite a lot of time, I press the keys around the D-Pad when pressing one of the direction keys. Dredger97, a great coder at Xda-Devs has developed an application, which lets you modify the functions of Answer key and End key respectively.

To use it, just go to the application where you wish to change the functions of those keys surrounding D-Pad. Then, take the stylus out and put it right back-in in 1 seconds or less. You will get a message box telling you the application name. In the following screenshot, I am playing “Lemonade”.

Innovisoft VirtuaMouse One-Hand gives you a PC-like virtual mouse on the screen of the Windows Mobile. VirtuaMouse One-Hand gives you a virtual mouse pointer that can be used instead of the stylus, anytime that the stylus isn’t convenient for you.
