Hi there

In the IM/SMS conversation when you're typing a message, beside the text input there's a button that lets you add in emoticons/smilies. This is incredibly useless to me, and I would like to get it changed to access the symbol keys instead. How do I go about doing something like that?

Also on a side note, how can I go about changing some hardware behavior settings? For instance, I'm using the flashlight app, and I would like it to open automatically when I open the camera lid and the phone is locked.

Right now whenever I want to use the flashlight, I will have to first open the camera lid, which opens the camera app. Then I have to close the camera app because it locks the LEDs and flashlight can't use them.

Thanks in advance

The smilies are useless to me too, and it would be nice to remove or customise that button.

For your camera/flashlight question, probably best to put that in a different thread. Felbutts just started a similar thread at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47745

Thanks pelago

also why does the symbol screen require 2 taps instead of one to select a symbol, that is rather annoying as well.

because after the first tap if you type a character on the keyboard it's going to change that character into a matching accented character. example to make this clearer:
1. open symbol screen
2. tap ^
3. press 'a' on the keyboard
4. you'd get an a^ character in your text

ahh that makes some sense. Wish its something we could enable/disable though, since accented characters is something I do not use as well.
