More uses for leftover buttons

I primarily use a T|T3. Assuming ALL buttons are assigned as of v1.3c. we could use the extra 2 buttons for alot of good. If possible, even use the VR button on a T|T3, and any extra hardware buttons on specific specific models of this game as well.

Some suggestions:
-screen rotate
-restart level (requested before)
-toggle sound low/high/mute volume (alr half suggested)
-toggle full screen (peronsally, this wouldn't be needed if screen rotate was implemented)

If perhaps all of them and let the users choose the functions they want mapped

You want a hard key just for rotating the screen? Why don't you play more on your Zodiac instead??

I got my zod2 later on. By now, I've alr played through ALOT of the game on my T|T3. IIRC, your progress is saved in the Palm "Saved prefs" or "unsaved prefs". U can't just copy those 2 files over, and there's no utility I know of that'll let you extract and copy individual records in Un/Saved prefs over. I will *NOT* replay levels that I've spent so much time completing.

Besides, zods not having a dedicated hard button for screen rotation also presents the same issue that the T|T3 and other hi-res+ devices have. Having to do alot of tapping to bring up the appropriate menus and buttons.

There is a database for each level pack that records your record times, something like summerpack_result.pdb. You can easily beam and replace these with WinLauncher or ZLauncher.
Why would you want to run the Zodiac in Portrait mode? Landscape is better for BOD.
