No OK button

[kunicki]

The Cruise doesnt have an OK button. I find it frustrating to use the DPAD for scrolling, but then have to reach to the top to tap the OK button in the upper right hand window of the window. Is it possible to remap a hardware button to this task?

I tried AE Button, but it doesnt seem like AE button behaves properly for me on the Cruise.

Does the red phone button not act like an ok button on your phone?

AE Button does work. I use it on my Cruise and have mapped the IE button to become the OK button. One thing I have noticed is that depending on which ROM you are using, sometimes you have to select the "OK/Close" action and other times you have to choose the "Close active application" action.

I Hope this helps

The red phone button does exaclty that.

Why do you map this action also on another button?!

No, the red button will only minimise the application but it doesn't act like an OK button. In any screen or dialog where you need to press OK, pressing the red button will only take you back to the Today screen and will not press OK. By mapping a hardware button to have the OK feature, the button searches for the OK button on the screen and presses it.

I have Dinarsoft's Handyswitcher for task management. I use the following key mappings to supplement for lack of an OK/Windows Button(s):

Long Press Phone start - HandySwitcher Menu
Messaging Button - Launch QuickMenu
Long Press End button - Suspend
IE button - Close app (using Handyswitcher)

Thanks for all the suggestions. After reading your thoughts I re-attacked the problem. It turns out AE Button will work. You can set the IE key to be your OK button. Actually AE works great!

The conflict was between AE and S2u2. I did not realize S2U2 has a conflict with AE.

Issue resolved.

I really love the Cruise. I have owned the 3300, 3600, TYTN II and I like the 3300 and cruise the best. Why? The are feature packed and very light. If you dont need a keyboard (and trust me, its overrated to have a keyboard) the cruise is great.

If you still want to use S2U2, you can use a setup like I posted above. No conflicts using S2U2 and I have the functions that I need without the use of a button mapper application.

Maybe I'm not understanding your problem here, but just map it using the Buttons icon in Settings. There's a choice in there for <Ok>/<Close>. I have the ok button mapped and it works great.

I have the ok button mapped and it works great. same thing for me, except the O2 Orbit 2 variant actually shows a "Windows" logo button on the left and the "OK" button on the right. i have to map them as such because I'm using a custom ROM.

Let me rephrase that, I mapped the ok "action" to a hardware button. It can be mapped to any button, in my case I just used the top left one (for Voice).

The best for me was to map the left messaging button to win-start, double to messaging, and long press to rotate fo tomtom, the right one to ok, doubleklick to opera, long press to vibratemode.. ... i had the same on my old tytn... works perfekt with aeb-plus.
