Hello,
I'd appreciate to assign the 'volume' window to a hardware button - let's say the Button 6 (Voice Dial, which i never use).
The volume window is the one, you normally get then tapping on the volume icon on top of the screen.
This window should open/close by pressing the hardware button. Once it is open, I can set the actual volume with the Jog Wheel.
Any help is appreciated!
Chris
You can try something: install Wisbar Advance 3 just for trial. i know that you can show that "volume bubble" by pressing buttons on the taskbar, and i know it offers some links in the programs folder for utilities, like switch task etc., but i'm not sure if it brings a new link for that volume bubble (i unfortunately uninstalled WA3 yesterday so i cannot test - maybe someone who has it installed can verify the links so you don't have to install it...)
With Wisbar Advance 3 it works
Chris
hmmm, can you post the content of the link that does that ? or the .lnk file ? so others can do this without WA3...
Another suggestion: AEButton plus
Hi all,
Anyone can help to remap the hard button??
I want to change the Home key to Alt-tab, and the Back key change to OK/Close (1 press for ok and long press for real close the application). I have tried AE button plus, but not function very well.
Attached is the Alt-tab s/w i have used.
Don't know why HTC put a Home and Back key in WM pro device
Thank you very much,
did you reset the device after you changed the settings?
yes, but still doesn't work
There's a software called Hbutton. You might wanna try it.
Just tried Hbutton, but it doesn't work on diamond.........
Awww.. now how am I gonna survive on the diamond without Hbutton?!
There's another software called SmartSkeys (or something oike that) Not sure of it'll work.
Anyone got any suggestions on which software to use to map diamond buttons to many functionalities?
This one works on Diamond: AE Button Plus.
To my understanding from testing AEButton on the Diamond, I have realized that:
The HOME key cannot be remapped.
The Back key is essentially a "WIN" key. You can create a new button and remap the Back key. HOWEVER, the shortcuts DOES NOT WORK when you are at today screen. So here is what I do, I remapped the Back key single click to "Escape". double click to close program, long click to close all programs.
Thats the only logical thing i can think about using the back button due to the limitations.
Any ideas?
Escape = ok/close ?
With AEB Plus I managed to map "action long" to "task manager", but the setting doesn't seem to survive a soft reset.
Problem with TouchFLO 3D.
Disable TouchFLO 3D, you might map home/ok button by mappingware.
Setting -> Personal -> Today -> Items
Use SortInchKey, if you enable TouchFLO, you might map VolUp/VolDown/Ok(exclude Today screen) buttons.
Tried AE Button Plus 2.6.3, the "ok" button in AE Button Plus list can refer to back key, my setting is press 1 to minimize, long press to close current application. However, AE Button Plus can't handle the Home button. I already sent a request to them, hope their next version can sort it out.
I'm posting here to find this later. I use AEB on all my devices and want a Diamond. Hopefully it gets "worked out".

Yes, the mappings worked when TouchFLO was disabled. But when TouchFLO was enabled again, the mappings then didn't work.
Can someone please help me?
I use a golf GPS/Scoring program on my diamond (mobile golf scorer) and on it there is an option to use hardware button to turn display on/off, this keeps the gps active permantly. Its mapped in the program as 'button c' which from what i can tell should be the 'right hardware button' on a usual ppc.
I'm trying to map it as 'back button' using AEBPlus but it will only work on the main diamond screen or 'today' screen. I've tried mapping it to various buttons on the diamond but When i start the golf program it does not work.
Has anyone any ideas? I need to remap a button that will turn the display off no matter what i'm running.
Thanks again
I'd love to change the function of the "Back Button" aswell,
it has been annoying me since the first day I got it.
HButton seemed very promising, but sadly, it doesn't work.
Do hardware keys also have a registry number like the softkeys?
Like 112/113 for the softkeys?
Wondering anyone will use "Home" and "Back" button regularly....Maybe u guys can share your experience on how to smartly use this 2 buttons as I don't have any idea.........
Hello everyone!
This topic is very actual especially on all russian forums (hpc.ru 4pda.ru 4pda.info). Did anyone overcomed this difficulty with remapping hardware buttons? I tryed AEButton Plus but I was unsuccessfull in remapping the dimaond's "back" button - is there any one who did it? Please share the experience - it would be very very usefull to remap this button and to bind it to launching Dynamo3 task manager.
Thanks in advance.
ILya.
None of the programs named here work correctly on the Diamond, including AE Buttons Plus.
However, these buttons CAN be mapped. I know that because the capacitive buttons tester program can detect and show that you pressed these buttons. While this program is active, if you press the home key, it shows that you pressed the home key, but you don't go to the home screen. So it's possible, but only HTC knows how. We need their API's.

so this method willn't work too? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355141
the silly part on the htc side is to have 3 of 4 hw buttons do almost the same - if you are in an application, pressing home, back or hang-up button will act as "escape". am i wrong?
for one thing, it would be at least useful to have an "ok" button.
the ideal setup for me would be to use the "go to the tf3d home tab" function of the home key by pressing the "hang-up" button and use the home key as "ok"...
when you press the IE button and the Center button it brings up the align screen. This is very annoying while playing games.
i know there has been some apps to disable this for other devices, but what about the kaiser?
you use the IE button while gaming?
no, I haven't found anything about it, but I'm sure that's a registry edit that can be done to stop it.
haha never noticed that, must be extremely annoying while gaming.
yeah when im playing emulators and i have my screen in portrait i usually use the start menu, the IE button, and the Left softkey as my 3 buttons. Then i use the D-pad, but sometimes while playing ill accidently hit the center key.
my volume button didn't work. I don't know after installing which software it happens. but now my volume button only go to volume screen but it can't make it lower or higher?
how should I fix it?

i have this bug every now and again on Dutty's ROM, a soft reset seems to fix mine, anyone else had anything similar to this?
I have same situation when PocketMusic player is running. It locks volume change somehow. Up/Down buttons shows volume screen, but do not change volume. It doesn't matter if player is running foreground or background. When I exit the player, buttons work again as expected.
Maybe you have same problem.
phone pad style did not work. but after hard reset it become ok. I had this problem in OEM ROM Dutty and swift, so I think one of my applications make this problem, I should install my application one by one tonight and find buggy application.
I have the same issue that caused by VibrationFeedbackConfig app. I have to use the default bubble volume slider instead cuz I want to keep this app.
To do that, using a registry editor, go to HLCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Services\HTCVOLUME, rename \Windows\HTCVolumeControl.dll to \Windows\HTCVolumeControl.dll.bak and reset your device.

S2U2
Hi Guys,
I had the same problem. Just uninstalled S2U2 v1.35 and then the volume worked normal.
greets
I'm using a snes emulator but having trouble. I can use the volume keys as A & B which is what I want, but whenever I catch the middle d-button while pressing volume-up, it closes the emulator and launches the touchscreen alignment app! Anyone know how to disable this shortcut? Have searched but turning up nothing...
I'd like to know this too... anyone have any ideas?
