I think have three buttons
I am using AE Button Plus. UI is not that intuitive, and it's not free, but it allows OK button remapping (among others.) Here are my button functions:
Voice speed dial button: 1 press: Run App (Fullscreen Keyboard), 2 presses: Run App (Photo Contacts), 3 presses, Run App (AE Button Plus), Press and hold: Rotate Screen (Can rotate in any of four orientations)
Camera button: 1 press: M$ Voice Command, 2 presses: Camera, 3 presses: CorePlayer, Press and Hold: Xn ViewPocket (photo viewer)
OK button: 1 press: Close App, 2 Presses: Switch App, 3 presses: Soft Reset, Press and Hold: (doesn't seem to work)
Left soft key: 1 press: Left softkey (but mapped to WMP on today screen through Tweaks2K2), 2 presses: TomTom 6, 3 presses: Resco File Explorer, Press and Hold: StarCaddy (I'm a golfer)
Right Soft Key: Could remap all, but "Right Soft Key" command within AE ButtonPlus doesn't seem to work and I don't want to loose that button's soft key functionality. So I've left that one alone.
Start Menu Key: AE button plus cannot seem to add both the OK button and the Start Menu key at the same time - so this one is not touched either.
It also doesn't seem to play nice with CorePlayer: AE dominates and doesn't let other programs remap while they are open. I'm adjusting though.
Hope this helps. I've tried other mappers (VITO didn't work at all for me, and Double Launcher limited me to only 2 buttons) and this is the best I could find to date.
If anyone else has a different or better solution, please post it so we can all get maximum functionality from our little pets!!!
sorry if this is a stupid question.
I have installed HTC EndKey on the Kaiser and I like the idea of binding it to my Red End Call Key.
However, I realised that it cannot be binded to the long press end call key on the kaiser as it is coded to lock the device.
I have AE button plus 2.6and i have heard that I can bind things to double and triple click for that button.
I have setup it to launch the end key when pressed triple. It WORKS. But the problem is that I can no longer press the end key to end calls or go back to the main menu!!
How can this be fixed? Thanks alot!
Just have AEB assign the red's single press to end/close action. I use single double, and tripple on my Red button with "end" on single press and it works fine. I don't have HTC EndKey installed.
Thanks for the hint! I have been stupid.
FYI:
I have assigned single "red end key" to "press red key" and then double and triple press to some other programs. The long press red key cannot be assigned to anything else on the kaiser as it is coded to execute a "device lock" command.
Thanks!
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
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.

I have a Fuse with an HTC ROM and I am missing entries for all my buttons except "Button 1". Can this program restore my missing button entries?

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.
Post your tweaks and tips here.
Thanks to TacoLoco, the AE Button Plus keylist:

Hi, made a list which button in AE Button Plus belongs to which hardware button or combination:
App Button 1 - Win
App Button 2 - OK
App Button 3 - Fn + Green Button
App Button 4 - Fn + Win
App Button 5 - Fn + OK / OK Long Press
App Button 6 - Media (side) Long Press
Windows Key - Media (side)
Fn means the button with the white square on it..
So you can configure nearly all combination, except Fn + Red Button..

Here's the camera.lnk shortcut:
Camera.lnk shortcut
Put it in the windows -> start menu -> programs-map and there it is with the rest. The quick access shortcut to a super snapshot with our ultimate 1.3 MP camera
I use AE Button Plus for remapping. Just go to the "windows key", for single press: Camera.lnk , double press: Press enter
Fn + P / backlight
@navenedrob
do you find that the right click time response is a bit slower than wm6.1?
any tweak to make it "normal"?
