Symbian-Guru: How To Fix The Gallery Button

  • mark thomar · 1 year ago
    and there was me thinking you actually had a fix instead of an idea of a fix... Misleading title! Agree with you though. Needs a firmware fix.

    Maybe this would be able to be done by the user now courtesy of the 9.2 hack...Maybe.

    Use an app such as Tracker or NStarter to map the gallery key to something else apart from the gallery, or to completely remove the mapping.

    Nstarter does not have access to gallery button.

    @ Burcrim, can you tell me how to remove the mapping? I want to play using vBag on my N73, and it'll be really nice if I can use the Gallery button. Currently, using Tracker, I can only change the mapping to something else, and NStarter doesn't have any access to the said button. So, removal is necessary.

    I don't think applications had access to map the gallery button, plus it wouldn't be convenient at all to make it launch something else. Ricky's idea is better, just put a timer on the thing, it won't launch if it's pressed by mistake

    Actually, Tracker can be used to map the Gallery button to any other application. Of course this doesn't help very much. I would love to stop its action while playing on vBag, and then manually make it reappear once I stopped playing. In case of general phone usage, I have hardly faced any problem with the Gallery button, so it's not a nuisance for me. It would have been great, if someone from the pool of talented S60 developers could stop the action of the key according to the user's wish.

    I haven't really had this problem, but when setting up my AT&T N75, I noticed that those buttons were BOTH on a delay of sorts... so, I guess it's do-able...

    Seconding the Tracker suggestion. Instead of making the gallery button useless, use Tracker to make it useful.

    It could be a shortcut to a favorite app or a shortcut to the desk which has shortcuts of its own.
