I've updated my volume slider hack so that it works with PDA2K. It allows you to bind programs to volume up/down buttons through the standart control panel applet. File - setup.exe in attachment.
I've also attached 2 programs that simulate pressing the up/down joystick buttons. To install them - copy files to \windows\start menu folder (or any of its subfolders) on your device and select them in control panel/buttons applet for the "volume up" and down buttons.
Once again, you are a proven hero. Thanks!
You're the best, thanks.
Thanks!!!
mamaich, does this work for JAM?
hey mamaich,
thanks for such a valuable tool (the only thing i missed since switching from SE P900 to Imate Jam)
BUT, i can't seem to get it to work w/ my jam! nothing seems to happen even though i've mapped it in the button settings to simup and simdown.

thanks,
edwin

The program uses hardcoded offsets that are different in Jam ROM. I'm too lazy to make a universal program.

Does this work?
That is what I tried, but there isn't a comm button on the Kaiser... It didn't work on any of the buttons I found. Does anyone know the reg key? we could probably change it to the ok/close button instead. I emailed kyphur to see if he knows...

I tried this, and it's a good concept, except the AT&T ROM doesn't expose PTT as a possible button mapping, which means one of the existing start/PIE/messaging/ok/camera buttons would have to be sacrificed for a vibe toggle.
The superfluous PTT button is the obvious candidate for a vibrate toggle but sadly neither of the suggestions allow its use as such.

As the 8525 was eventually hacked for the PTT button to be useful you will have to be patient. This device is new so it takes time.
This works fine, load Vibra Switch, it will place 2 apps in the programs folder "Vibra Switch" and "Vibra Switch Delayed" (you can delete that one). Then in Settings>buttons> Select button 6, the top-left button currently used for single-press=Voice Speed Dial, press-and-hold=Recorder, re-assign the "press-n-hold button to be "Vibra Switch" and you are done.
I've been listing my tweak tries in amother thread, I can't get Bluetooth to redirect all sounds out to headset and I also can't get vjay lumos III to make the display go super bright. With no transreflective screen, this is now a very important tweak to me, I hope these can be figured out.
ahhhhh sweet. you guys are great!

Use a little app called "BTaudio toggle" it works good for me!
Love you spiro! Searched and found BTaudio.exe, Life is good! With my 8525 I had to use Mortscripts, this is easier. Pressing my Jawbone headset button launches VoiceDialer and kills the re-direct, but that's no big deal. I like that I can now launch Voicedialer.
Last tweak remaining is a single button toggle to BRIGHTEN the screen!
Vibra Switch not working
I installed Vibra Switch in my new Tilt but is working as described. Anyone knows why?
i'm not sure about the commands to switch to vibe mode ( i use phone suite) but to expose the PTT button (short and long)
try adding a couple of new reg keys 40C6 and 40C7 in HKLM/software/microsoft/shell/keys. mimic the the keys and values on 40C5 and then soft reset.... it will then show up in the button control panel.
for reference, this is where i got it...

Yes, I can confirm this works well. I've mapped a long press of my PTT button to Vibra Switch, so I just hold it down to toggle between ring and vibrate.

I created a shortcut to the backlight application in /Windows/Programs and then mapped it to a button. A single push of that button brings up the backlight app, from there you can use the right directional button to increase brightness in steps. Biggest problem for me was adjusting brightness outside on a sunny day where the screen can not be seen - this fixes that for me.
There are several applications which allows you to remap buttons (AE Button Plus, HButton...). If you dont need more than 6-8 shortcuts you should be fine with this. (I prefer this remapping solution because it doesnt require to keep some program running in RAM)
These shortcuts are basically generic but here's what I've found and tested on Wings.
Code:
Shortcut Current App. Remapping
Long_POC.lnk - OK
Long_End.lnk Lock Not tested
Long_Home.lnk - OK
Long_Send.lnk - OK
Short_POC.lnk CommManager OK
Long_Power.lnk Turn Off OK
Long_Pound.lnk Line Switch ???
Long_VolUp.lnk Voice Dial. OK
Long_Camera.lnk Camera OK
Short_Power.lnk Quick App. OK
Short_Camera.lnk Camera OK
Long_VolDown.lnk Voice Notes OK
Long_NonCamera.lnk ??? ???
Short_NonCamera.lnk ??? ???
(NonCamera = POC on some devices. I dont know why is it on Wings but probably because of generic WM keypad map.)
Code:
Key Name Hardware Button
POC CommManager
End End Call
Home Home
Send Send Call
Power Turn On/Off
VolUp Volume Up/+
Camera Camera
VolDown Volume Down/-
How to use...
1. Create a shortcut of a program
2. Rename the shortcut to the shortcut name of a key you want to asign to (TaskManager.lnk to Long_Home.lnk for example)
3. Copy it to \Windows\ directory
Wow! Awesome! Thanks for shedding light on this!
Tested short_power.lnk successfully.
[ADDITION]
IE button: is PIE.lnk + Short_IE.lnk.
About
If you need turn on WiFi, you have to press at least 4 keys by default to start WiFi (using Comm Manager).
After installation of WirelessToggle, just press and hold Comm Manager button to toggle Wifi (on/off). (Alternatively you can use attached exe and assign WirelessToggle to any button / shortcut you want to).
And as always: There are few more programs that can be used for faster turning on/off WiFi but this keeps the RAM free as much as possible.
Installation:
WirelessToggle.cab - just install
Run WirelessToggle.exe (from \Program Files\smartmadsoft\WirelessToggle) manually (just once) before using the shortcut (otherwise you wont be able to confirm dialog window asking you about running unsigned code)
Download:
WirelessToggle.zip (4 kB)
Support:
Tested only on S730 but it should work on other devices as well (will test it later).
Great work moneytoo!
This is real usefull, thanks for sharing!
does anyone know the WM6.1 connection manager (wireless manager in home screen) file name?
wireless toggle doesn't work for me (wm6.1) it removes all wireless settings from the WM comm manager, and swiches wireless off right after I've enabled it.
i need to look into this, whether it will work on a diamond, cause it's hardware button associations are plain stupid...

What did you find out?
Does it work on your Diamond?
i right clicked on psshutxp.exe and selected create a shortcut.. i renamed file to Long_Power.lnk .. dropped in my windows folder and reset my htc touch pro (cdma) ,,, never asked if i wanted to overwrite anything ...
now when i press down my power button... the same default action happens... it is not running psshutxp....
Remapping headset button?
I'd like to bounce an idea and see if your solution might work for this specific issue.
Seems like the headphone button = green answer button on newer htc systems. If I press the headhpone button twice - I'd like to jump one track forward. Press it three times, I'd like to jump one track back again. Would this be possible to map somehow? That is, multiple key inputs?
Regards.
Has anyone here found a solution for the touch diamond?

I know that this is the Wings forum but nevertheless I would like to know if anybody has found a similar mapping functionality for the HD2... I tested several shortcuts but only long_send.ink seems to work.
For Multibuttonmappingwhatsoever I can recommend HButton as it allows to activate different things depending on how long you press the button. Remapping doesnt really work for me after all, nothing happens..
Hi, I want to remmap Home Button in HTC HD2(Leo). But when I search the link, I can't find anything that mention about home.
Any suggestion? Thx..

Oooopss.. Sorry, wrong thread.
I'm just too desperate.
For the HD2 unfortunately only the long_send button seems to work. I tested the others mentioned on the first page of this thread but they did not work - at least not by using shortcuts or reg keys (but I did not test any special software as HButton).
With the limited Hardware buttons on the diamond I find apps like HButton indispensable.
I have tweaked mine to suit the Default Diamond layout very nicely
Looks like it was meant to be like this from HTC
Link to a video clip of how it works.
http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/HButton.AVI 2meg
Mine is set to Cycle through the following apps
Voice Dial
Note2Self
Comm Manager
HButton Vibrates on each switch so it is easy to select the right app without looking at the device
Attached is a pic of the config screen to show you how to set it up like mine and a screenie of it in action

thanks for the tip..very useful.
That was a really cool application indeed. Thank you!
Thank you, muy buena
Very interesting, THX!
sssssssssssssssssensational!!!
Oooh
It is even better for Diamond than my friend's AEbutton Plus wich Id used before! (Don't tell him please
Thankss!
Hi,
I tested Hbutton, but it seems I can only assign the call button (hold).
There is no other buttons available.
Anybody have the same problem ?
Thanks
Yea only one button but its better than nothing
Jules
I'd also pick HButton IF it were possible to assign the "<--" button.
With AEButton I can do this, so sticking to that for now.
hbutton settings
Which HButton is the call button on? Hope I can get this working it was great on my vario 3.
Pete
hbutton on diamond
Looks like I cant even see any buttons in settings/buttons. I think T-Mobile have locked even the call button!
Pete
Thank you.
Thats really nice program.
If you have spb pocket plus installed you can assign to the ok key
this allows you to also assign a Hbutton to the key in the buttons dialog
therefore giving to h button enabled keys (Which is excelent
tried it ... adopted it
Thx.
Perfect completion for VoiceCommand.
Just set the "HButtonX.lnk" to toggle WLAN and rename it to "WLAN.lnk" or "WiFi.lnk"
After a soft reset you can switch on and off WiFi by starting this "App" with VoiceCommand.
this is genius!
thanks a lot

No Hbutton in T-Mobile MDA Compact IV
Same here,I can't see HButton listed under buttons application.Looks like T-Mobile has removed it.Only Diamond people can see it.
Thanks
Sorry if it was already covered elsewhere, - is there any way to remap auctions for these side buttons on Diamond ? I don't change volume level that often, all done through profiles, imho up/down arrow or scroll function would be much more beneficial ...
Update: AEButton Plus does the thing perfectly, thanks to Geekess for the hint
volume up/down is OK but long press may be very useful for Explorer, task manager etc...
In other words configurable .. would be great for camera too, not easy to make pictures with central button, not stable enough ...
I did not follow development news for previous HTCs, so not sure if it was ever done before ...the fact is that these buttons are not available from Settings (
You can use PQZ II for remapping the volume key. Try to google it.

well, does not look good at the end, maybe these are hidden features, but I could not find a way of how to use the volume buttons independently (they work as Ctrl or Alt, no problem here, but I wanted to use them as one button - one action, not two buttons - one action). Another problem, Up/Down or Scroll are not available for selection as actions ....
So it should be possible to change that, the matter of finding the right program now ..
Wish there were more buttons on Diamond, or at least proper navigation buttons ...
Hmm... for me it does not work, get the message:
keyboard hook faild
any suggestions?
What works for me is AEButton Plus (payware, no affiliation). I have reconfigured my volume buttons to single press = arrow up/down and long press to volume. The program has a nice function: you can choose to let the volume buttons have their default behavior during a phonecall.
I'm using the trial right now, but if I can't find a freeware program that has the same functionality I will probably buy this.
May I ask how you've gone on with AEButton? I'd be interested to hear your long(er) term experience of having used it as it sounds like exactly what I want/need.
Mathew
all good, does what it says, configured it once and just using since ..
Tried latest HButton 2.3, but think it is not compatible ... anyone else tried it?
Installed AEButtons & MortScript 4.1.
I wanted to write Scripts to change button action depending on active window (done this fine on old devices)
Even a simple Script action such as "MouseClick 460,24" (click OK) will not work when mapped to a hardware key, works with softkeys !
Any ideas !!
I think it is manilla taking over, I could only map the volume keys, but home and back don't seem to work.
Yeh, that was my first thought, any other link I make to execute on remapped "Send,End keys" work fine ! just Mortscripts !
Finding it hard to get this device as easy to use as my first WM device (S100)
Almost seems like no one at HTC ever use um before selling them !
