Why is it that you can’t remap some of the buttons on your S60 device? There’s some buttons you can program. The softkeys, for example; you can pick what those do. You can also program the 5 directions of your d-pad or joystick, if you don’t have Active Standby on. And it can do nearly anything the phone can do. On the E-series that have a dedicated email key, like my E62, you can dictate WHICH inbox it goes to. However, as Stefan rants, you cannot set it to do whatever you want.
But what about the other excess buttons?
Willbur of Howardforums asks if he can reprogram the volume buttons on his E62 to scroll his screen up and down, to read notes. Ericem1 wants to know if he can reprogram the VoiceDial button on his 6682 to be a camera button. I’d like to have control of the gallery app. I’m also interested in the buttons on the new E-series phones that are coming out.
I know for a fact that it can be controlled via software. For instance, the Email Key can be told WHICH email account it opens. The VoiceDial button on Ericem1′s 6682 can be told to open VoiceCommand instead of the built-in voice dial app. And then again, there’s the softkeys and joysticks.
Has anyone tried to write a program for S60v3 that can reprogram the gallery button on the side to pull up my Vox Mobile app, or another gallery app? What about that zoom/volume rocker on my N73? Why can’t it scroll when I’m in a scrollable app?
