[Fixed] how can I map Ctrl button to the hardware - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

[FIXED]
now that I know how to remap the windows key on the qwerty, I will write a small step by step for other users having trouble with PQzII
Please note that all photos here are taken from the PQzII website, but I'm making them a little bit more simple.
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/DOC/index_e.htm
After you install the application:
1. Tap the white square until you get a drop down menu... choose Setup
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. On the first Tab [Ctrl/Alt] choose an SIP for Portlait/Landspace mode.
3. Choose a button from your qwerty that you don't use and you want to be used as Ctrl, for example Windows button (you can do the same for Alt)
4. You're basically done here... but you still want to get rid of the white square near start button, right?
5. go to a tab called [Icon]
move the bar to right so you get ICON POS= 240 [this is in portrait]
6.Change the orientation by sliding out the kb, then do the same as in #5. but now ICON POS=320
Please not that after you have don this trick, you will no longer see white square any more, thus you won't be able to enter the setup unless you go the PQzII folder and rung the setup manually : hit program PQzII_Setup.exe
7. make a shortcut of PQzII.exe in Windows/Startup
8.Done!
if you wish to know about the rest of the options PQzII offers, please visit the link posted above.
PQzII will run in the background in order for it to work
I had some problems with PQzII and Arabic Localization[can't write arabic untill I close PQzII even if the arabic SIP is choosen], but this may not concern many users here
I know this is not the greatest gide, but I wanna share my info with other users, espesially those having the same problem I had befor....
Cheers

OLD TOPIC
-------------------------------
Hi everyone
I was wondering if there is a way to map a button from the qwerty to act as Control button?? let's say Fn key: when you press it for long time it'll become a ctrl key
I have seen many applications that can remap buttons.. but I couldn't find any one that will work on the qwerty.. all work on the hardware buttons next to the screen and on the sides of the device...
any ideas??
thanks in advance

Question how can I map Ctrl button to the hardware
HI!
Try PQZ or PQZII program, it´s free.

Wait for my Button Enhancer Bible; in there, I’ll explain this too.

I'm using pqz and it works a treat
got Windows key mapped to control, and tab key to alt.

Wait for it where? I too want to add CTRL to the physical keyboard! Will make copy cutting and pasting so much easier.

I finally figured out how to use PQZII, it's really useful
in case anyone want's to check out the very usefull guide Menneisyys made, here is the link
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2246&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more2246

before i download this thing, i would like to quickly know if it will remap the physical key on the keyboard, or the button..
what i mean is if i where to map the windows key as the control key, would i still be able to use the windows key on the front of the phone (the one thats not on the keyboard) to get to the start menu?

I can tell you how it works on my hermes, i guess its the same with the Kaiser: If you Switch the Win-Key to Control-Key via PQzII this will also affect the front Win-Key, not only the Win-Key on the Slide-Keyboard...
Gue

it only affects the Win key on the qwerty

thats a bit of a contradition up there..
since the site is down.. i will post the cab
I cant get it to work... all the sites with the info are down or dont give explinations..
all i get is a little White box next to the start menu.. i was wondering if someone could give me really simple instructions on how to replace the windows key with the ctrl key.

Please read the first post, I have updated it with a mini guide, hope this will help
cheers

doesn't work

how did you manage to affect only the qwerty win-key and not the front key? in my kaiser both keys are affected by assigning the ctrl to the win.
i checked that both keys have the same system key code so technically it's not possible to assign in any application two different behaviours to these two keys. dod you really manage to do this? if yes, let me know what settings you put.

WIN hw butt. as CTRL
Doesn't work on my HTC TyTn II
I set PQzII like manual but HW keys doesn't work.
WIN button doesn't work as CTRL but WIN.

Ok Button

Dear All,
is there anyway we can make the ok button to close the applications instead of minimizing it.
Go to "settings">"system">"task manager">"button" and make your choice.

sorry i was not clear, i mean the hardware button, not the one with the task manager.
I'd like this, too.
If you tap the X on the screen with your finger or stylus, it closes the app. If you press the OK button (much easier), the app keeps running
If you don't have it, AE Button Plus is a must have app. You can assign multi functions to every button. I have OK set to close, Plus double tap and tripple tap options to launch some apps.
I use AE button plus, and like it. But if all you need to do is close an app, you can do it with the phone completely stock just by clicking the end call button.

You could try VJOkButt ,the author used to be very active on these boards, mapped to buton 4. I have not tried this on my Kaiser. It worked well on my Wizard but eventually got replaced by SmartsKey.

You sure about that? I have a stock Tilt and that doesn't work. Task Manager shows the app is still running in the background.

I'm sorry, you're right. I had used that a few times before I loaded AE button, and my recollection was that it closed them. I see now that it just brings you back to the home screen. In that case, AE button is a good choice to accomplish what you want. And you can keep the stock functionality of the ok button, and put close on a double-click, or click-hold if you like.
Thanks alot for all your contributions, i will give it a try.
I wrote a MortScript that uses the MouseClick command to click in the upper right-hand corner, and then used AEBPlus to map the OK button to it. I had to map it to one of AE's virtual buttons first and then make the change in the standard Settings | Buttons.

If you already have AEBPlus, you don't have to do all that. It has a "close active application" command built in. You simply map whatever you want to that. I have it mapped to a press-hold of the OK button.

True, but I also use the script for other context-sensitive commands depending on the program (I use the same side OK button for "back" in PIE). Call me crazy.
athanaso77 said:

If you have AEBPlus installed, you simply run it, select the button you want to change (in this case, button 4 is the OK button), click in the box down below the button selection, then in the first drop-down you tell it you want that button handled by AEBPlus, and in the second drop-down you select what type of keypress you want to assign (in this case, single press), and in the third drop-down, you select what you want a single press to do (in this case, "OK/Close", then go back to the second drop down and select "long press", and then back to the thrid drop-down and tell it what you want to do for a long press (in this case, "close active application"). Then just exit AEBPlus.

Doesnt work with a long press on the END button, trying to figure how to do that....
Nadavi..
Ok, I'm confused. The app is called "long press end key", but it has nothing to do with the end key, but rather the right softkey?
Very strang name for a program that dosen't do what the name says. Nice application, but on my Tytn II it dosen't want to use the RED END key, instead it uses the right soft key.
File attached for those who cant Rapidshare.
Can you attach it to the forum, because rapidshare is blocked to me (surf at work )
Thanks.

Does anyone know how to map the HTC end key program to the end key?
UPDATE:
the regedits HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\LongEndFunction enables or disables the longendkey function.
When I set it to 1 it enables the function, however it only does a devicelock. Right now I'm trying to find a regedit that will set the function to open up the ENDKEY app. If we had the registry from the Touch Dual this would be easy to find.
bump!!! any help would be appreciated.

Long press wont shut down tilt *FIXED*

Sorry if I'm reposting, I found something similar but nothing really like my problem. I haven't installed any programs withing the last month but when I hold the long press and try to shut down the device, it asks me if i want to do that i press yes then screen goes black. But if i quickly press the power button the screen comes back and it didn't actually shut down just lost service. If you go to com manager and try to enable service again it will search for hours and only way to get it back is to soft reset. Anyone else had this happen? Thanks (I dont want to hard reset I have way too many programs that would take years to find again)
back up the programs using sprite backup and do a hard reset
intsall schaps advanced config, then menu>Key mapping and see what it says for "Long press Power key:"
i did that to mine by accident when i was remapping the buttons and i remapped the long power for something else and i couldnt shut down my device anymore. luckily i was going to update the rom anyways, but from what i remember there is no way to map it back originaly

The second pic that he has with the program linked to the longpress shutdown key, I don't have that file the only things I have close to it is powerexe.exe and poweroffwarning.exe. Do you have the same thing that he does? It would make sense of my phone shutting down if its missing tha program but who knows maybe its something custom it is schaps after all.
Can anyone post this LongPressPowerKey.exe program from their kaiser? Please

Thanks for the help arnoo I really appreciate it, but it doesn't work, program starts loader does the swirl and nothing.
unfortunately, it's normal...
Long Press Power Key is developed by Schap's and need to be integrate in the rom (i think in mscoree.dll). Even if you had LongPressPowerKey.resources.dll
And no cab for the moment...
Thanks lol, now that makes sense why it doesn't work. Do you know if there is anyway to find out what the the longpress shutdown is linked to so i can link it back, i really don't want to flash it.
Poweroff is managed by \windows\PowerOffWarning.exe
And you must have HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ShowWarningMsg fix to 1
Finally, in schaps advanced config, then menu>Key mapping, "Long press Power key" => keep it blank
hope it will work...
if not, back up with Sprite back up, and try an hard reset
I have the exact same problem right now.

if you dont wanna lose your applications and programs just do a sprite backup and hard reset the device to get it back to original settings like somebody else said before..its prolly your best bet to get what you are looking for.

I want to assign a button to open the above Volume applet. How do I access it? I looked under "Buttons" and scrolled through the list of "Assign a Program" listings, but couldn't find anything resembling the Volume application.
I know there are some other ring/vibrate applications. I've heard that some of them don't work so well on an AT&T Tilt with wm6.0. Anyway, I'd just like to access this volume option with a button press.
Thanks...
I'd also like to know this.
You might want to check out SetVolume. I have it set to the PTT button on my WM6.1 Tilt, and it works perfectly every time. The best part is, it works with the system volume, so whatever changes you make with SetVolume are reflected in the system volume tab, and vice versa. I guess in a round about way it's exactly what you wanted.
Check it out here, if you haven't already seen it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395695
Thanks, that does look like a good solution, but I really want to activate the original Voice application that comes with the AT&T Tilt with wm6.0. I want to press a button and have the Volume app open up.
A friend has a 8125 and he can open the Volume applet by moving a slider down on the outside of the case. I looked in Settings -> Buttons on his 8125 and he has a link to Comm Manager, but the sliding button on the phone does not seem to be there. There are no buttons with an app like Voice associated with them.
I'd like to hunt down the .exe file for the Voice applet and write a .lnk file to start it up, but I can't find it. I'm also having trouble getting the file extensions to show up in the wm6.0 File Explorer. I can get all files to show by clicking on the "Show All Files" menu item, but I can't figure out how to get the file extensions to show up. Some files are easy to tell by their icon, I'd be surprised if you couldn't get the extensions to show up somehow.
I'm assuming you have a Tilt, correct? I may be misunderstanding you, but you want to be able to control the volume via a hardware button?
I'm asking because that's what I meant by setvolume. I activate it via my ptt button, and I can them use my scroll wheel to change either system volume or call volume.
Sorry if I'm not getting you. Just trying to help out.

I want to be able to control the volume with the volume control that's already on the phone. See the image in post #1 of this thread. I want to press a button on the phone and have the volume control in the image I posted in message #1 of this thread pop up.

It's a little executable that does exactly what wanted. There's no install... just unzip WisVol.exe, then use ActiveSync to Explore, and copy WisVol.exe your Tilt (I put it in a folder where I keep such utility programs: \Program Files\Utils\ ). Then you can make a shortcut to wherever you put the .exe. Run it, and it opens the volume controls, just like you wanted! It's a useful little app... thanks to whoever wrote it!

Thanks for the tip.
I tried this and it works, sometimes. I have my PTT button programmed to use this program, but it doesn't always pop up... sometimes it just flashes, but doesn't stay on top of the screen.
Does it work correctly for you?
Wonderful little program. now I have to ask is there a way to pop open the manilla2D style volume changer? I have used SetVolume, but i prefer the built in volume changer. Thanks!

Reassigning Android keys

I've got my old vogue, recently the power button quit working. But thanks to AEButton, bootloader cab and sdcard method rom installation, I've been able to live with it. However, Android hasn't been as friendly. Running Myn's warm donut release, the lock screen is the first thing that pops up after the initial loading (SD card method, since I don't want a brick if things go south). And lock screen needs menu button (default assigned to power). I've done some searching but I couldn't make anything out of it. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545393 (xda forums won't let me make it a link since I'm not that active)
Perhaps someone could make a zImage (or whatever file is needed), to reassign the menu button to some other function button (or perhaps button gesture, e.g. double press or long hold), that way those of us who've held on to our vogues (broken buttons and all) can still manage to keep the device from going in the bin.
Thanks.

like this?
thanks for the quick replies.
Here are the wm buttons and android assignments on the right
Attached picture has wm button assignment
1. top power: short press = turn on power, wake screen, menu. 1-second long press = toggle keyboard. 2-second long press = toggle portrait/landscape orientation
2. volume slider: volume
3. camera: short press = back. 0.5-second long press = home. 1-second longpress: running app list
4. green: short press = call log. long press = voice dialer
5. red: short press = sleep screen. long press = phone option menu (power off, airplane mode, silent, etc)
6. enter (select), direction keys = standard functions
I'm hoping your python script can assign more than 1 function to a button (long press, double click, etc)
edit: looks like it doesn't, is there any way you can add that? vogue has a very limited set of buttons
and it doesn't look like i can even assign anything to the direction buttons (perhaps at least that, since i can deal without direction pad)
also, i'm not very familiar with android, how would i go about installing this .tar update file from microsd?
Would be more convenient if we can modify the function of the d-pad.
d-pad left = back
d-pad right = menu

yes, but still it would be a nice option, since vogue doesn't have much button to remap.

In principle, shouldn't this not become an issue with Android if things are properly developed? An android app shouldn't assume a DPad exists, because it often doesn't.
That said, on the smaller, less responsive screen of the vogue, the dpad does come in handy sometimes. I'd love to be able to map long presses on the D-Pad to functions like back, menu, or home.
i think if the D-pad was remapped to be the 4 buttons like most android phones have it could be sweet, but i do like having a D-pad

I would like to have that too.
Different people, different need or like.
So, it would be nice to make all the button can be re map, then let the users choose as their own like.
I finished the vouge interface but i have some more changes to do, keep in touch.
i commited a new version of the mapping tool with preliminary support for vogue. It was written without testing because i haven't a vogue.
Please test and let me know

Great...there's a d-pad also,
Will try it now..
Thank you.
It's working, finally....
first test :
Power : power
Camera 1 : Home
Camera 2 : Camera
d-pad left : Back
d-pad right : Menu
And they all working like a charm.
Thankyou very much
edit: nm just looked up how to install .tar and haret froyo rom
thanks for the help in adjusting your script for the vogue, l1q1d
where can i download the interface for the vogue because the link is just for the get source
thank you
lol thats something with the browser opening the file
right click and save target as
as mentioned you need to download and install python to run the script
Python is an interpreted language so you have to download what you call "sources" and run using python.
neither myn's donut or incubus's froyo seem to be running stable for me..
donut isn't very responsive at turning screen back on after extended periods in my pocket (takes about a minute after pressing every possible button), while froyo keeps freezing, at which point im forced to reset.
not sure how any of you are using it as the main operating system
i don't think installing on nand would fix those problems (which i couldnt do anyway; damn bootloader requires pressing power)
OFFTOPIC
@nee_vak if you need to install the system on nand use BSG
