I searched and didnt see this program anywhere on here so I thought I would share. I really like it... If it is mentioned somewhere, please delete this post.


"VolDpad is a small resident application that allows the use of volume keys of the PDA as a D-pad (joystick) on those devices that lacks it. The program remaps all six functions in only two keys and allows the use of volume keys normally during calls.

-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."

*****Note: I did not see a icon in programs but noticed it started automatically and cut/pasted the lnk from windows/startup to windows/startmenu. I am using the old start menu....easy toggle there.

For those of you interested I have made a Customization CAB which will add the following:
-HTC Stock Flip Clock
-Custom Messenger Icon (stock program on Sprint TP2)
-Custom File Explorer Icon
-All Camera Modes enabled
-Disable phonepad vibration when pressing buttons
-Added in-call recording capability
-Alerts from Touch Pro (Glass 2 & Generic Rings 1,3, and 4)
-Renamed Right Softkey from "All Contacts" to "Contacts"

**I have also added a tweak if you would prefer an AIM icon for the messenger application. Install this AFTER the TP2 Customization.CAB if you want it**


ENJOY!

Is there a Cab that will fix the Bluetooth so that it does not give the can not start bluetooth due to a stack issue?

The bluetooth is good on this phone but it seems to kick you off into a standby mode if you keep it connected to your ear piece for long periods of time and this sux cause I use my BT ear piece all day and I have to restart the phone to get it to start the BT after I get this error message.

Please help!!!!

"4) Disable SMS-Sent Notifiation - Turns off bubble alerting that text message was sent successfully."
This did not work for me. I still get the "bubble alert" after every text. Am I missing something?
==Verizon TP2 with stock rom==

The link is dead for "Remove Semi-Transparent curtain on homescreen"

Here's a tip hope this helps, ive seen alot of talk about the push email killing your battery but i realize there are some people that cant live with out it, so set it to manual so you dont run down your batt, go to your email client on your pc i have a option to forward mine to another adresse and leave a copy, so i put my number 419*******@vzwpix.com and it sends me a message as a mms and it is instant and then you can send and recieve to get it that way you dont miss out and your batt power does'nt suffer hope this helps out.

Hey Mikenerd,

I too have the Verizon TP2 and ran this for a couple days till i found it didnt "unhook" the volume keys while in phone mode and actually froze the phone requiring a battery pull when used in phone mode. Too bad i really liked it. Coming from an Omnia with the joystick and select button i really miss what this program almost provides.
