Some of the latest smart phones like HTC HD2 do not have hardware d-pad. But some of the old software requires it. So what should you do? Simple, just download VolDpad, install it and use your phone’s volume buttons as the d-pad.

VolDpad Guides

• Volume UP is remaped to d-pad UP. Can be hold for autorepeat.
• Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad DOWN. Can be hold for autorepeat.
• Double click Volume UP is remaped to d-pad LEFT. Does not support autorepeat.
• Double click Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad RIGHT. Does not support autorepeat.
• Double click with hold in Volume UP is remaped to d-Pad RETURN with Hold.Does not support autorepeat.
• Double click with hold in Volume DOWN is remaped to d-Pad RETURN.Does not support autorepeat.
• If a call is being established or is active the volume keys will behave normally.
• Running the file a second time will close the resident with a small tone.

Hmm… The volume function is not working anymore on HTC HD2 after installed. But you still can adjust the volume during call. Then, VolDpad is disabled on my case. Anyway, do try it out. It might be a useful tool for you.
