is there a button hold option for Camera Key?

I searched forever and could not find exactly what I'm looking for here.
What I want to know is if there is a registry entry that can be made to enable button(hold) options for other buttons in the settings>buttons options.
Basicly I want to be able to hold the camera button and have Cool Camera launch and the regular camera launch on button press but i don't want to install additional software to make this happen.

Try Smartskey http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256525. If you are using a "cooked" ROM you may already have it installed. Otherwise, Start>Settings>Buttons: pick one you don't use and reassign it.

Try DoubleLauncher from Orthanc: http://orthancsoftware.com/products_doublelauncher.htm
Lets you assign press, press/hold, double press, and triple press. I think that's what you want...

I think this is what i am looking or if the only solution is 3rd party software. Thanks.
But if anyone knows how to do this without additional software that would be better. maybe some sort of registry entry that enables other options?

Wow tried double launcher and the thing wouldn't uninstall fully after the trial expired and made all my hardware buttons useless. Had to hard reset and restore.

ae button plus
maybe a program called ae button plus would help you? it's not free though, but it seemed to work ok, when i had tried the software in the past...

PQzII is free and I never had a single problem with it.

Wow! been on this forum for a while now never heard of this! This program is great! Thanks!!!
Oh one question whats the difference between the wizard version and the WM 2005 version? This is where I found the download
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm

@dragonedge: You need to download the wizard version. There was some compatibility issue with wizard (don't remember what it was but its listed on nique's site as well as on xda-developers thread for pqz, i think the thread is in the universal forums..) due to which he made a separate version for the wizard..

Thanks Shantz, will do.

Reassign the side OK button on Tilt?

Hi,
I've successfully re-mapped the PTT button by following the instructions from this forum. I imagine the same procedure would apply to the small OK button immediately below the jog-wheel, but I don't know where to start. Of course, the button is not present in the Settings/Buttons applet - that would have been too easy.
First, how to disassociate it from its present function (Start Menu/OK)? And once disassociated, what is the button code to enter in the registry?
I tried aebplus, and it sort of works - but the start menu still comes up on the first keypress if invoked in the Today screen.
Any ideas on how to re-map this otherwise useless key?
Thanks,
Mike.

You sound like a jerk for posting that I did not search when the reply prior to mine was 6 months ago.
Did you even read the thread? None of the links you posted had instructions/advice on how to remap the side "ok" button.

yes i was about to say. non of them have steps or even telling you anything related to how to get it.
all it says is people trying it matter and they failed.
if there was no solutiion you should have just said no solution, it would have saved you time searching all that and also us bashing you

the 4th link does have some good information, lemme just quote from it
Bellfazar said:
The side "ok" button is a tough one because it has multiple functions. In programs, explorer windows, and settings it acts as an OK button but when you're at the today screen it acts as a Start Menu button. I kinda get the feeling we're not going to be able to change this for a while. Not until someone releases a keymapper specifically for the Kaiser.

It's really easy with help of AE Button Plus.
You can pretty much map any hardware key on your device with this great app.
I have it setup to be able to copy and paste by using the sliding keyboard and pressing Window Key + C to copy and Window Key + V to paste among other cool shortcuts.
Cheers!

Thanks Rayan. I downloaded the AE Button Plus program for my AT&T Tilt, and it is working fantastic for remapping buttons. I was able to remap the side OK button to lock my phone by holding it for a few seconds. I love the way it also lets you leave the button with its default setting for one press, but create other actions for multiple presses.
By the way, the phone locking works fantastic. It allows me to answer calls, but doesn't activate any of the other phone functions until I unlock the phone. That's perfect for carrying the phone in my pocket. Also, incoming notifications don't unlock the phone, so that I won't accidentally turn-on a bunch of applications while the phone is in my pocket. The unlocking action is very simple.
I've also mapped volume up and down to a long press of the soft keys. That alleviates the need to use the stylus to select the volume button. Great.
The AE Button Plus program was what I've needed all along to customize my phone. It would've saved me a lot of time.
One other note, I downloaded the 2.6.3 version of the program, rather than the freeware version, but I haven't gotten any info on the cost. I may be disappointed in the near future if this program automatically deactivates. Do you know if I should expect a disappointment? I would pay for this program, but I'm not sure how much it's worth to me, but I saw no information on the cost. Do you know?

AFAIK there is only one version, if you want the registered version you buy a license and there's a procedure to activate it, otherwise it uses the free version with a couple features disabled and a nagscreen once in a while.

Remapping the side OK button?

I want to remap the side ok button to calendar and long press to new appointment.
I have Pocket Plus 4 and it gives me the option to do it and it works when i have a program open, but when im on the today screen, it just opens the start menu. Any soluton to this?

You might try posting your question on the Spb forums. Developers over there monitor the threads, and might be able to help.
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/

Try aebutton plus.

Ideas? Wouldnt want to register to another forum for this...

like the post above said, AEButton, or maybe HButton.

Ok, I posted to the spb forums.

Please refrain from posting suggestions you have not tried. AEButton and HButton do not work.

Even if they would work, when I have a program that’s supposed to do this function, the first answer on my opinion shouldn’t be to install more programs to my device.

Just do this via the > Settings > Buttons.
I reprogrammed it to the HTC Action Screen.

AE Button does work, however, much like the Red End-call button there is a small issue. I can map the button for single,double,tripple, and long press, BUT, the button works as follows.
Press button, upon release the start menu opens.
Press button again, then it acts as AEB's 1st press.
Press button, twice, thrice, hold, all work OK
So it's OK but you just have to ignore the first push.
Now this is all on the side OK button, the front OK button is mappable seperately with AEB+

Like your Avatar, Bahh Humbug. AnyButton + is easily one of the most useful apps for PPC phones. I have so many functions mapped with it that the phone would be crippled without it, so sometimes suggesting a must have app is helpfull.

the ok button on the side is extremely different from the ok button on the front that you are referring to

Is the side OK button similar to the PTT button? I wonder if the side OK key can be removed from the registry and then renamed so that it would not open the start menu first, before the first, twice, thrice and long AEB push?

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT....
I dont need new apps, i have everything else the way i want. Like my avatar, i'm allmost good to go.
In Pocket Plus 4, first push opens the start menu and second push closes it. Unless i have some window open at today, then it works as i remapped it.

OK button below scroll wheel

The OK button below scroll wheel on the side of the phone. Can this button be reassigned through the registry?
I was going to try and create that entry but I am not sure of the button number.
Any help?

it think it can, one of the button mapping 3rd party apps that you can but was able to map it to whatever you wanted. I used it for a while but ended up using the button featuer within spb pocketplus4 since it was already installed for other features

Pending what ROM you use you can reassign.
Easiest fix is to search for PTT remap which, if I'm not 100% wrong, will give you a changed button application.

I am using the stock AT&T 6.1 ROM.
I installed S2U2 and wanted to map the side OK button for Volume control.
If I knew what button # it was I could create the registry entry.
I want to try and do it with a third party app.

I believe the question was about the button BELOW the wheel, the PTT button is above the wheel. Also, 6.1 already allows mapping of the PTT button.
I believe the software is Vito ButtonMapper, google that and you will find it.

I was aware that he was talking about the button BELOW the wheel but if I recall right PTT reassign gives a six buttun mapper. If not my apologies.

Yes the PTT would be 6 and can be mapped using 3rd party software for wm6 and natively in 6.1.

This issue has been batted around for a while now, and even with the Hermes as well. As far as I know, the ok button is pretty much hardwired. No one ever found a registry key, and no button mapping program recognizes its existence.

Well that sucks, that is the only button I never use and being able to assign it to volume would actually make it useful.
And to the others, yes I am referring to the OK button below the scroll wheel. I know the PTT button (above wheel) is #6 and I already know how to assign that one.

Time to go to WinMo 6.1. I have toggle backlight on short press, close all on long press. Works great at least on a Kaiser with ROMeOS.

If you are willing to spend 8 bucks this will do it and a bunch of other stuff.
(or reverse engineer the program and pull that piece out)
Worth the 8 bucks to me.

[REF][REQ]How to Remap Hardkey(button) Actions

Our Blackstone has always suffered from the fate of an UGLY sister... from not getting official WM 6.5 to Lack of Hardware windows button. i decided to start this thread so that we can find out some way to Remap Hardware Button (HOME) to Windows start......
For the 2 years i had my Blackstone i know that i hardly used this button so it would be nice to remap it to Windows button.... also we can have the added feature of removing the Start button from bottom of screen and have more HTC HD mini like sense 2.5 look for those of us who use WM 6.5.5......
Any help into this matter would be greatly appreciated.... and on other forms ppl have remaped hardware buttons like this one .... for HERO

Actually, the home button is not a hardware key. Its a part of the touchscreen. Only hardware keys are VOL up/down (pwr, rst also)

hink this is possibke
as stated the post above it isnt a real hardwarekey so its arranged by manilladesktop.dll i believe
im writing this from my phone sso cant check if its the right dll name
if its a dll you can rewrite the dll to point to start instead of home

ohhh that would be great chris..... i would be really gald if you can help me out... take ur time... when u have access to your pc... check if you can do something about it....

i'd be interested in the results of this...
i'd like to use the BACK key for manual rotate, and use the PICKUP button as default voice calling.
currently im using the PICKUP key for manual rotate, since this is the only button available to remap it's long-press function.

well i took a quick look but it isnt something i can arrange for you
all kind of strange numbers and stuff in there that i cant read
i still think it should be possible though if someone with more knowladge of dll files and writing them comes in help
