left --------- messages
down ------- call history
up ---------- speed dial
right -------- contacts

O2 also has a task manager, if you click on o2, it should open up a window in top right corner.
window contains options, disconnect, bt settings, soft reset, display settings, and running programs which you can close individually or all at the same time.
Hope this helps you.

Great. Thank you. I've been using Smartskey for a while, but didn't know about the task manager keys.
I did find the O2 task mgr, but wanted something that could be accessed without going to the Today screen.

Now I just have to figure out if this screen alignment issue is software or hardware related. I hoped it was software, but as I just switched to this ROM (partially to test that theory) and am now finding that the issue is still there, it appears that it is hardware related.

I really like this current setup... I hope I don't have to get a new unit.
Anyone who has had this issue been able to fix it without replacement?

Only thing is that my Right softkey is mapped to 'Contacts' - how do I map it to Smartskey's Task Manager ?

What gives and why is sprint not getting picture mail to work right. I hate going to the web sight looking at the pictures..... then if I want to send them on I cant right away.... I cant even save the picuters it gives me an error so I try to click on the forward link.. . go figure no hyperlinks work right!!! GRRRRR They work everywhere else.. so then I go to my pc loginto pictures.sprintpcs.com find the picture and forward it from there (i can also save it to my phone from there and forward it from my phone).... when i play with my phone enough to get the forward link to work then the next page is blank... still cant forward.... this SUX!!!!!! It is wrong on so MANY levels!!!!! I just want to receive a picture and then send it again!!!!! Cant they make a web page that looks good on your PPC for picture mail at least??????????? WHATS THE PROBLEM with them?????? Am I the only one that get flustrated with this "feature" ???

Smartskey runs from startup. There is no need to map the buttons. You just press/hold the button and it works.
If you wanted it to work without holding, you could go to Settings;System and click on Soft Keys and map whichever button to the appropriate program.

you can also go to Programs\Preferences and edit the Smartskey.ini.

Anyone else having problems having changes stick? I try to change my ring tone, and it goes back to windows default... I really would like to be able to atleast change me ring tone...

Make sure you don't have O2 or another such "profiles" app set up on schedules. That could be overriding your settings.

Voice Command not responding to bluetooth

I Just flashed the new 3.5.8 and now my bluetooth will not activate the voice command. Any ideas? I do love the new layout.

I will be putting a newer version up that will fix some of the latest issues.

any chance you can add xcpuscalar?

dunno runt. it is already a fairly small app and since it is commercial, I may not get to it.
