AE Button Plus - List Your Configuation

I think this would be a good place for people to exchange their button mapping configurations using AE Button.
Add yours, and maybe pick up a few good ideas from fellow members.

Hmmm, well I'm still tweaking, but currently:
button 1: IE on single click, Opera Mini on double click
button 2: "Messaging" on single click, strait to SMS on double-click, and Mundu on triple-click
button 3: Start Menu on single-click, next app on double, and Task Manager on press/hold
Button 4: Ok/Close on single click, Close active app on press/hold
Left Softkey: Copy on single-click, wifi on/off on double click
Right Softkey: Paste on single click, vibration mode on/off on double, Open TomTom on triple.
Everything else is stock. I'm starting to question triple-clicks though... sometimes I get the timing wrong, and it gets perceived as a double-click. If I don't acquire more natuaral accuracy there, I may move the triples to press/holds.

Button 1: Single-Opera // Double-PIE
Button 2: No Change
Button 3: Single-BlueTooth Off/On // Double-WiFi Off/On // Hold-Close DU Connections
Button 4: Single-Show Actions Menu // Hold-Show Today Screen
Button 5: Single-Microsoft Voice Command // Double-QCalc // Hold-Camera
Button 6: Single-Total Commander // Double-TomTom
Button 6 Hold: Comm Manager

I don't know the button numbers, so I shall only name them.
start menu button
single - start menu
press and hold - my own launcher with about 20 apps in it.
Mail button
single -mail
Press and hold - A2DP on
Left soft-key
Single - softkey
press and hold - MS voice command
voice command button
single press - my 20 icon finger-friendly launcher
press and hold - the cyberon voice command
Side OK key
single press - OK
long press - runs a mort script which backs out of apps which dont work properly with the OK key, such as the Audio manager library.
Thats all, but together it makes for a pretty good one-handed experience.

How are you guys remapping the PTT button. When I remap it it clones the map of the camera button. IE. Whatever I map to camera button gets activated by the ptt button. I've tried using PTT fix, and using the add button option in AE. Any sugestions?

Button1 - Single=PIE, Double=OperaMini, Long=InternetSharing
Button2 - Single=Messaging, Double=PocketCM, Tripple=PiWeek, Long=New SMS Message
Button3 - Single=Start Menu, Double=ToggleBT Power, Tripple=ToggleWiFi Power, Long=CommManager
Button4 - Single=OK/Close, Double=progMXConverter, Tripple=prog12C Calc, Long=prog Dictionary
Red Button - Single=press Red Button, Double=Press Red Button, Tripple=Close Dialup Connections(closes E or 3G/H connection). AEB can NOT program Long Press with this button cause it can't detect the long press, but the others work OK
Left Soft Key - Using HTC SoftKey Changer, set to PocketCM, then with AEB-Single=PocketCM, Double=CorePlayer, Long=SlingBox
Right Soft Key - Using HTC SoftKey Changer, set to BTAudioToggle, then with AEB-Single=BTAudioToggle, Double=LiveSearch, Tripple=GoogleMaps Long=iGuidance

Mapping back button to OK key?

I've been trying to map the back button (delete key) on my hardware keyboard to my OK key so that I can navigate one-handed in PIE using my scroll wheel and my OK key. I'm using AE Button Plus, and I'm trying to use VJkeypress to map the virtual keypress for this event.
However, the virtual key 08 isn't working.
I have a .lnk file with 52#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJKeyPress\VJKeyPress.exe" 08 and it doesn't work. If I change it to 91 then I can get the start menu to pop up.
Is there a different set of virtual keys for WM6?
I currently have a long press of my OK key to the left softkey, and this allows me to navigate back, but I can't use it in fullscreen mode in PIE.
Anyone have any ideas?

I wrote this short MortScript and then mapped it to the side OK button (just take the .txt extension off). If you're in PIE, it presses the back button. If you're in any other application, it clicks on the "X" in the top right. That way I can use the left-side controls in PIE. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the script. However, it doesn't work in PIE if you use full screen, which was the same issue I was having just mapping the left soft key to the OK key.
Is there a way to simulate a keyboard press (backspace) in Mortscript instead?

Try the command "SendBackspace" (without the quotes). I think that will do it.

Help: Want to remap hard button

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"...

AE Button Remapping Software

I just purchased AEButton remapping software. I think this is the best software available today that allows you to remap any hardware button to more than one function. I managed to program the side "OK" button to Vibrate/Ring. As it stands, using Manila disables the side OK button original functions rendering it useless.
I highly recommend this program to those that are frustrated with not knowing what to do with the OK button.

I've been using AE button for quite some time..
it's quite useful.
U can also save the config and restore it whenever U flash a ROM.
the file shud be *.cfg in the AE folder (can't remember exactly)

Only just installed as have always wondered to what point i would use it? My phone is now so much more user friendly.
Button 1:
Press: Opera Mini
Double Press: Opera Mobile.
Button 2:
Press: Messaging
Double: MobilePad
Long: Calendar Touch
Button 3:
Press: Start Menu
Double: Task Manager
Long: Backlight
Button 4:
Press: OK\Close
Double: BT on\off
Long: Wi-Fi on\off
Button 6:
Press: TaskFacade
Double: NoData
Hold: McGuider GPS

could i use this to remap keys on my keyboard. i need to switch my p,n,k,m keys for my arrow keys because my p,n,k,m keys are unresponsive

AE Button Plus Survey

Hi, all. New Fuze owner, new XDA-Developers user. Thanks for all the great tips I've found here so far. These are great forums.
I recently installed AE Button Plus to see if I could improve the functionality of the hardware buttons. I have been able to add additional functions to a couple, but some haven't worked and I'm having a hard time mapping the buttons in the program list to the hardware. For example, the app lists App Button 1, App Button 2, App Button 3, App Button 4, and App Button 5, and as far as I can tell, these don't do anything. I also have Long Send and PPT (Hold) listed, neither of which is a separate button. (I also have Button #40C7, which I think is the PTT button I added to the registry manually a couple of weeks ago.) On the other hand, the Home and Back keys aren't listed at all.
For those of you who use the product, would you mind posting the following?
1. Which buttons (as well as softkeys, etc.) have you been able to remap?
2. For each button, what is it called in the program list?
3. For each button, have you been able to map all four functions (short press, long press, double tap, triple tap) to it?
4. Anything else you feel might be helpful?
I hope I have explained this is a way that makes sense. If not, please let me know.
Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give me.

hey, always kool 2 hear from new ppl (im kinda new myself!)
i have only tried 2 remap a couple of buttons but they have both worked for me.
1. Enter/Action:
-single press=press enter (call default handler)
-double press=press left softkey (helpfull for pressing the send key while texting)
-long press=flashlight (button lights up in dark and is quick)
2. Red phone button
-single press=taskfacade (hitting it does nothing more than the home key, so i made it into a taskmanager)
i didn't really find the need to remap anymore keys because of the default one's on the keyboard (internet, text message, email,and comm)

There are many buttons in the app that aren't on the phone. To Map the Home key, you have to Add Button (on the left soft key menu).
I map it to the Start Menu...which I have as QuickMenu. seriously, once you go Quick, you never go back.
Keep in mind, for some reason the Home key will ALWAYS go to the Today Screen, then do whatever you map it to in AEB...this is a known issue.
Good Luck!

I disabled the hard-volumekeys. I now use them as follows:
Up:
2x = enable bluetooth
3x = enable vibrate mode
hold = psShutXP
Down:
2x = close S2U2 (ilock)
hold = camera
Powerbutton (not with AEB-plus):
short: screen off
long: enable S2U2 (because I had several problems taking the phone out of my pocket with a warning the phone was powering off)
Left soft:
icontact
Right soft:
TomTom Navigator

I have tried to map the following:
Green Button
Single press = Press Green Button
Double press = Run application(Launch Manager)
Long press = Could not be mapped!
Red Button
Single press = Press Red Button
Double press = Task Manager
Long press = Could not be mapped!
The home button and the cancel button could not be mapped!!

all i did was remap the home button to open start menu (wm6.5) and the end key to actually end the program rather than minimize it

I'm on a custom rom (RRE WM 6.5 v4).
The PTT button on my Fuze by default on this ROM is customizable so I have that bring up Task Facade (a program switcher) on short press and hTorch on long.
AEB handles
volume up:
-short - vol up
-long - wifi on
volume down:
-short - vol up
-long - close dialup connection

Do you guys think AE button plus has a battery drain since it's always running? I've been running it for years, but now I'm trying to find sources of my battery drain.

has anyone else experienced significant lag in the pressing the button and it performing the task?
i only used the trial on an oem fuze rom and mapped the double push of the down key to the task manager and a single push to do the normal move down..it would lag horribly to do either task and i never could get the long press to work reliably..
i havent tried it on a cooked rom and never bought the full version due to these issues..

All buttons can be remapped except short home and short red I think, here's my setup and the config file.
(only deviations from default)
VolUp Long - SPB Now screen
VolDown Long - MemMaid Reclaim RAM
Home Twice - SPB My Menu
Home Long - Start Menu
Back Twice - force close
Back Long - task switch
Green once - SPB Dial Tab
Green twice - resco explorer
Green 3x/Long - classic dialer
Red Twice - Rotate screen
Red Long - display off (note that Long End Key app must be set to Lock in odrer for this key to be mappable)
It's got more features than my Artemis and there are still "keys" to be assigned
For the questions above - no battery drain noticed and no lag on Energy ROM 2
The culprit of your battery drain is most likely activesync running 24/7 or try another radio version, also some today plugins can cause serious drain (I tested SPB, iLauncher, Pocket Digital Clock, HomeScreen ++ and SPB Diary with no drain but I had some that ate my Raph's battery in just two days)

has to be activesync 24-7...but I know that...too stubborn to get rid of it b/c it's so damn convenient. I just thought push mail was supposed to be efficient...
I'll keep using AE button plus. I recommend it all the time. GREAT program.

All those who want to remap home, back and other keys, which AEButton doesn't process properly, look HERE.
The second version is almost finished and it has more options and can process double clicks like AEButton. I'll upload it in a day or two.
