World's First - Play TombRaider with full feature "ON TOUCH"!!!Button Problem Solved!
For the very first time in the WHOLE DAME WORLD(I guess), I figured out how to play Tomb Raider "On Touch" with the menu function!!!!!
(Same method may also be able to apply to the worms world party game)
After a long time of searching, failing and failing, again and again, holding up hopes and down for many times, I've tried so many methods, and searched for hundreds of times on the net, just to figure out how to play my favorite game: Tomb Raider, on my Touch. I even tried to use a hex editor to edit files in the game folder when I know actually nothing about programming. And then an idea flashed through my brain when I saw a picture of a "checking mark" appeared on the in-game screen of Tomb Raider after I accidentally pressed on a corner, I realized that the "active corner" function from FTouchSL WORKS ON Tomb Raider!!!!! So I did a little search on the keycode that brings up the Tomb Raider menu, and there it is!!! It's 195!!!
So this is how you do it (if you're already a FTouchSL user, skip to the second quote):
You download & install the freeware version of FTouchSL(If it asks about closing TouchFlo function, choose no), and go to it's configuration screen and do as the following first quote:
Enable FTouchSL: yes
Enable at startup: no (so everytime you play TombRaider you have to enable FTouchSL first. If you choose yes, some annoying message may appear telling you to register the program )
Disable on SIP active: Yes
Notifications: None
Scrolling: Disabled
Gestures: Disabled
Active corners: Enabled
Exeptions: Add program name, and browse to the TombRaider.exe, add an action of Active Corner to the bottom-left(or any corner you prefer), choose Send Key for the action, and put 195 in the key code blank.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're using FTouchSL already, just go ahead and make an exeption of Tomb Raider.exe, add an action of Active Corner to the bottom-left(or any corner you prefer), choose Send Key for the action, and put 195 in the key code blank.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And there you go! When in the game, press on the corner for over a second and you'll see a checking mark appears, and the menu is up!!! Congratulations!!!!! YOU CAN SAVE THE GAME, AND CHOOSE ANY WEAPON AND WHATEVER, ANYTIME YOU WANT!!!!!
Note: This is actually the first post I have that actually helps anything, so I hope it'll work with no problem because I have NONE!
Cheers! ;D
Actually dude...I'm playing Tomb Raider on my o2 XDA Terra for a week now with no problems whatsoever...I can save load do all the stuff pull out weapons and everything works fine...
Dunno if you checked it or maybe it's different on your phone but on mine I jst had to push the camera button on the top of the cell to bring up the menu...The message buttons closes the app completely and auto saves. The windows button is the ok button and the ok button is the pull out weapon button. Did you try every button of your phone while ingame?
freeware? if so link to the game
Ehm nah it's not freeware.

Sorry, my bad, I should've make the "on Touch" more noticable.
On Touch we didn't have any button to bring up the menu because we only have two buttons blow the screen and it's green and red, and the volume switches wouldn't do anything, but the camera button at lease brings up the weapon. Anyway, without the menu you can barely play the game.

FTouchSL is freeware, but not TombRaider.

I'm curious if its possible to disable the align screen shortcut on the Wizard (Enter Button in center plus Messages Button) Its really annoying when playing Doom or an emulator in landscape and having that popup all the time. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Unfortunately i dont have an answer for you. but i do have aquestion that i hope youcan answer. I got myself a doom launcher. It works well, but the control setup is terrible on the wizard. If i play in portrait mode, the fire button is the left soft key. So i ahve to fire with the same finger that i use to move. That makes the game unplayable. What launcher are you using and where did you get it?
I haven't done any testing or trying yet, but here is my idea...
what if you rename the align screen app, just so it stops it from launching?

Its called GF Doom (I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got it or whom made it. Although if the creator see's this I would love for him/her to PM me as I also have some questions.) Anyway the launcher shouldn't control the Key Mapping, usually thats done in some sort of config file. With the program that I have the keys are mapped in the skin file's txt document.
Try this, unzip all contents into your storage card and run the launcher you should get Doom, Doom II, and Plutonia (sometimes called Ultimate Doom) as well as a 3rd party mod called Evilution. Keep the default skin, with that the keys I have mapped are:
The directional Buttons for Movement, Messages button for Fire and strafe(I would like to change strafe to volume up/down or Internet but have not been able to if you can figure this out let me know), and the softkeys for Select and Start.
The screen defaults to protrait with your choosen skin. To play in full landscape start the game in the options change the resolution to "low" and it will switch, Hope this helps
I can't seem to get the attachment to work here is the link ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/
the file is pocket doom.zip
A Flock of Seagulls are in my Wizard
It would be awesome to find a way to disable this. Is there maybe an entry in the registry that corresponds to what key combination turns on the align screen program. Maybe it could be changed to some combination of keys that is very unlikely to be executed simultaneously.
Until then, I'll continue to drink foo-foo drinks to calm myself while trying to play any action games.
GF Doom
Dragonedge:
What version of GF Doom do you have? Maybe I have an old version. When I enter full screen mode, the soft keys are shoot and strafe, while the message/IE buttons are menu and escape. I have to use the same hand to shoot as I do to move.
Thanks for the tip about full screen, I would never have figured that out. Now I'm not dissapointed with the program anymore.
Lol, funny posts. Is this still a problem? Does it need investigating?

I still have the problem........ working on some things now.

Not sure what version it is. Check out the ftp I uploaded a zip file with everything I use. Also you can edit the skin files to remap the softkeys as well as the messaging and internet keys. All the information about remapping the buttons is in the skins folder in a txt file names Skin Specs.

The only problem I had was being able to map the message and internet buttons as different keys. Also I would like to use the volume slider as a left and righ strafe but could not seem to get that mapped either. Any help there would be great.
I've made an app to disable this - VJCalibrula for Universal and Hermes.
Wizard requires a slightly different hack, and I don't have one to test on.
dragonedge: what hardware/ROM are you using? I'll try to get you to alpha test if you want.

I wouldn't mind at all . I have the T-mobile MDA/Wizard with the 2.26 ROM
An app to disable this would be handy another idea that would be nice is an app that would let you specify another button combination for system shortcuts would be awesome.
VJCalibrula - disable align screen settings (alpha)
Guys, please give this a go.
I don't think it supports AKU 3.2 for now. Soon...

I just bought a Touch phone and I like it very much. Before this I had a Prophet and I was afraid I would miss the extra hardware buttons the Prophet has.
The only button I really do miss is the "close" or "ok" button to close aplications.
I think it would be great if there could be a program made that uses a finger gesture on screen to close apps instead of poking at the x with my big fingers.
Anyone ever seen such a thing?
Swipe to close
C'mon people, you know what I mean...
just like closing the cube by a downward swipe it should be possible to close an aplication by somekind of swiping motion across the screen shouldn't it?
Think about it...
Instead of "slide to unlock" we can call it "swipe to close"
I close apps just using the phone red button!
Bye

Yes, thats possible too, but that closes everything that is open. I would like to close only one window at a time.
example:
Lets say you are in windows media player library and would like to close it and return to windows mediaplayer itself by closing the library. If I would push the red button it closes everything including the player and return to the home screen instead of the player.
"Swipe to close" should work exactly like the "x"
It would be really cool/useful to do that.
Even though It sounds easy, it is quite difficult to program this thing ( not impossible though).
Years back there was already a phone called NeoNode1 that had the swiping thing figured out. It was also windows based so maybe this can be used as a startingpoint.
www.neonode.com
With TouchFLO the problem will always be with apps that have scrolling windows. How should the downward motion be interpreted ?
Close app or scroll up ?
ZapIt
If you are not too particular abt the swipe gesture, use ZapIt ( attached)and map it to the camera button. It closes only the active application at a time.Works beautifully on my touch.
If you encounter an invalid certificate problem, download Enable_Rapi.zip from Pof's thread about CID Unlock and follow the instructions. (The sticky on the Elf Upgrading section)
Yeah, but than we would need to build a swipe to operate the camera.
I would like to swipe and close without losing other functionality. The swiping motion can be anythin from making a diagonal swipe to circles or anything inbetween.
If this can be cracked there might be much more functions that can be operated in this type of manor.
Unfortunately I don't know much about building such a thing so if there is a hardcore techie out there that wants to take the challange, be my guest!!!

That's not true.... you'll only have to make the camera start from today screen. You can still make a picture with the button afterwards. Just try it (don't forget enable_rapi)!
@veeru27: Thanks for the cab! It works great!
try search for "finger launcher"... something i posted awhile back in the general elf forum

vippie,
You're welcome.
Actually, how many of you do actually use the cube? If not many, it would be nice to have to have the slide up and down motion that launches and ends the cube, to be used to end applications instead.. just a thought...
Search for FtouchFlo to configure Swiping commands.

I find the search button that takes you directly to Bing obtrusive, is there any way of de-activating it or using it for another function?
Than you
do you can give us the registry key
i could like use it at people key
thank u
I hope in future it will be possible to deactivate button, if application doesn't support search.
Most of the times, I click it accidentally.
same problem here...
hate the search key ;-)
I find it super obtrusive to be honest - especially in landscape mode - 8 out of 10 IE viewing in landscape finishes by accidently pressin search and not being able to go back!
Anyone with an idea how to switch it off?
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!
I so wish these buttons were real hardware buttons, so that going near them wouldn't take me away from a game which takes a minute to then re-load. Grr
Agreed - the search key sucks. You don't search much, and you always seem to hit it by accident.
Personally would love to turn it off, or turn it to a long key-press, then at least you won't hit it accidently.
Probably some registry-settings can do this.
I like it... I like how it's used by different applications to search just those applications (email, IMDB, etc). Yes, I sometimes press it by accident, but I can just press Back and I'm back where I was...

I just made my test again.
Open IE - go to a website, then press Search that redirects you to bing and when you press back - you re not on your original website but back to the menu...
search buttons sucks...

For me it goes back to IE
Edit: unless you mean after you've actually done a search?
that is really strange but no - I did not perform any search.
I feel it has to do smth with my location settings or some other settings that are mysterious to me.
I noticed that since playing with location settings to access the marketplace which is still not available in my country - I changed the location to UK, but IE search setting to my locale - When I press the search button I am not redirected to a nice bing search page with the fullscreen background picture but rather to bing's web address (and the displayed picture only takes 40-50% of the screen and is too small to enter anything without zooming in).
This could be the case with my problem.
Anyway - still hate the search button and would love someone to find a cure for it ;-)
Can anyone tell me how to exit Vendetta after you start playing. I tried everything I could think of before finally multitasking out and using force stop. It can't be that hard to exit the game, can it?
So no one knows how, or no one is playing that game?
I played it until I saw there is a monthly fee. Then I deleted it.

LOL. Well, I don't really blame you, but did you ever figure out how to actually exit the game? If you multitask out, it stays running and there's no exit option that I can find anywhere.
The back button...
If you hit the (Android) "Back" Button it will bring up a similiar menu you would expect a PC to display if you were to hit the "ESC" key. This gives you preferances and other options along with being able to safely log out (10 seconds) and quit the game through there using the built in quit action. Let me know if you have any other questions I got this one figured out on the tab. Word.
What AJ said... above me

Thanks, dude. You rock! Not sure why I never thought to hit the back button. I was only looking at the menu options. It was driving me crazy.
Good evening, can you help me? Every time I go to use the multi touch on some touch to the game, it still works, just can not use the multi touch simultaneously, For example when I try to walk and jump in a game, the character jumps, but stop the run, in photos I can use the multi touch quietly, does anyone know how to fix this?Another problem is that when I go into the play store, type a name of any app and if it appears a direct link to google play store simply crash. I'm using lollipop 5.1.1 please help me

Is this a new problem on your phone?
Maybe a factory reset would help?
After replacement screen i believe, the problem of when I use the multi-touch and when I drop a finger both sort out, if I push a button and push each other and hold works, but if I let go of the buttons the two "disconnect" for example : if I run and shoot in a game, if I walk and pressing the shoot, he will ride and shoot normally, but if I try to get going and pressing 1 for 1 second to shoot, ride the will "lose the contact"
I've started to get a similar issue. I have developed a 'dead zone' in the top 3rd immediately above the centre of the screen. When scrolling the phone is registering a press on the screen and selecting links/icons instead of scrolling past them. Sometimes the phone goes loopy registering continuous presses along this line not allowing any other screen presses to be registered. I have enabled 'show pointer touches' in developer mode which shows the screen registering touches that I have not performed. Pressing the power button and then squeezing the sides of the phone resolves this temporally leaving me with the 'dead zone'.
Am I right in thinking that a replacement screen is needed?
