Volume control as scroll wheel

[o2xdas]

Hi,
Is it possible to use the volume control as a scroll wheel (like in blackberry :D ).
I rarely use the volume knob but it would have been amazing if we could use it to scroll through the documents.

Can't you use the dpad?

dpad works fine.
I feel a scroll bar will be more handy the way for single handed operations. :)
Just wanted to check if this is workable and if someone has done this before.

Ok, I've undestood...

I said "use Dpad" because I've got a Touch, so it is the easiest way to scroll pages... It is central and can be used by one hand...

I don't know how other dpads are...

You can try AEBPlus (Google it), a program which allows you to assign any hard key to almost any function. I transformed my Touch's volume keys to a scroll wheel with it.

Heya.

There was an App. called Smartskey for the wizard that made the Volume keys scroll and the a long press of the Left Softkey Start Menu and a long press of the Right softkey and OK button.

Should work for you as it works on my Touch Dual.

This works great mate. Thanks a ton.

Normal scroll would have been perfect (Instead of Page Up/down) but this is real good. :)
