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

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.

even with the 8525 nobody has been able to re-map the ok button...it's still the biggest mystery, hehe....but now that they eliminated one button on the Tilt we really do need the ability to remap the ok button now...

I have the side OK button remapped in spb pocket plus v4 under the buttons menu in settings and the only thing you have to do is take focus off the start menu then it works as expected.

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.
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.

Tilt Keyboard Fix
Thanks alot i got my keyboard working i wish there was a Thanks feature on this forum
im sorry i dont think you guys understand my problem. Is the tilt keyboard something i can edit and change the keys to my choosing?
My (n,m,p,k,.) keys will not respond. This is not a software issue but hardware. I want remap the keys so that when i press my right arrow a letter p shows up, when i press my left arrow a letter m shows up, bottom arrow a k, shows, up etc....
ive reasearched into that hexidecimal table, but im not tech savy enough to understand it. I was hoping that with all the modding u guys are able to do you could show me how to make these changes.
once again thanks for your time
any responses?

I think its going to be a bit more complicated than a reg edit. Try pm'ing some of the chefs such as sakajati he might know if it can be done or not. Sorry I cant help any more.
Hello. I apologize for making another thread like this.
I've searched through Google as well as XDA Dev, but I can't find how to remap the PTT_Long button to use for an "Ok"
I know how to remap the PTT short and long buttons to things like camera, voice command, or any other program/software, but I'm having trouble mapping it to be an "OK" button.
The reason I want this is that I got this program called LoudTalks (walkie talkie like program) that uses the center circular button of the fuze to initiate the microphone. I want to use the PTT to start the microphone, because its more convenient.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Also, I tried going to Settings>Personal>Buttons and doing it from there but when I'm in the area where you're suppose to press the hardware button you want to remap, it doesn't recognize it. I've tried soft-resetting a few times.
I'm using the Elite RC3 Rom.
Thanks
http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1249
I've all ready seen that. THat just remaps it to "Close" not "Ok"
Just get AEButton Plus and create a new button then you can map it either to programs or functions like OK with maybe a map for a long press to close. Grab it on my site or google it.
I downloaded a hex editor and a rom and loaded the rom onto the hex editor.
But that kind of stuff is far above me.
I'm trying to edit the keyboard mapping, i need to switch some keys around.
I have the tilt, i would really like someone experienced to help me with this because my keyboard is basically useless right now, and ill have to buy a new phone if i cant fix it.
is there not a cab file to change from the tilt to the keyboard mapping you require?
The answer is...(drum roll please)..YES!
use the forum search option for "tilt keyboard fix" and you will be pleasantly surprised.
plz remember that unlike your girlfriend search will always be there for you. ;-)

lol i know theres that fix i just wasnt sure if it was tilt to kaiser one he required lol
no its not the keyboard fix i know about that. My issue is unique, i need to remap some of my letters. I'm fairly certain the issue involves modifiying a rom, it doesn't matter which, and to do this i would have to use a hex editor.

what keys do you need to remap and maybe someone will know a fix.
ok my k,n, i m, and period keys are unresponsive. this is a hardware issue, ill explain further if u want. this makes the keyboard quite useless without these keys functioning.
I never use my arrow keys so I would like to map each faulty letter key (K,n,i,n,.) to a corresponding arrow, and maybe the "ok" or "tab" button.
basically when i press left arrow, the letter p would pop up...etc
i would be truly gratified if u guys helped me fix this, because ill get a cheap unbreakable phone if the tilt wont fully work. Its been really frustrating,
how old is your kaiser?
do you have a warranty on it still?
could be easier to have it replaced.
well thats where i mentioned i could go into depth further. I cracked my screen, and replaced it myself. In the process I accidently nicked the side of the ribbon wire connecting the keyboard to the main unit. This resulted in those 5 keys becoming unresponsive.
I got the phone about 6 months ago, but the warranty was voided when i took the phone apart to replace the screen.
AE Button Mapper use google..... "Not AE Button Plus"
ok i downloaded it and got it installed but i have no clue how to use it.
theres some buttons to reassign keys however u have to press the key you want to reassign and that it not possible being that those keys are disconnected.
ok little update, i think the AEK program will work, however the first step is it has to create a chart by logging all the keys. You have to press all the keys individually and it logs them with a four digit number. For example pressing the letter "d" logs key 0044. Once all the keys are logged you can type them up in a text document and mix and match accordingly.
My obstacle is that i cannot press my keys that are unresponsive, for them to be logged. I tried to find a pattern by pressing keys around these and saw nothing that made any sense.
I'm not sure if the numerical values attached are standard for every application in the phone, or specific to the AEK program. I can't find a thread, that would list the value for those letters i can't press.
Does anyone know if there is a chart with all the values assigned to each key of the tilt?
Snowman, give me a link to this AEK program and I'll use it to log all my keys on my tilt, then perhaps we can compare them to what you have and hopefully get the missing codes for you
Moved to General.
Hex Editing a ROM file won't get what you need. I've seen people trying to patch the keyboard driver for this, but no success. Sorry, couldn't be more help .
