I am currently using Dutty's newest rom. For the PTT button I am able to define what happens when I hold the button.
I would like to add the ability to close the program when I hold the OK button (button 4). Is there a good way to add the (hold) option in the button settings for all buttons?
Thanks,

For ALL buttons? Even the camera? Then what? How will you take pictures?
Have you searched? Someone wrote a program to do this, I read it yesterday. Try searching. I know you are new, but the search button will be yoru friend.
Well, I guess not all buttons. I just would like the option to configure two things for each button.
Through my search I found AE button. I tried that, but was unsuccessful to get it to work properly. I am attempting to remap the side OK button. Remapping the "OK" button only applies to the front OK button.
I think more of my issue is that I am trying to remap the side button, is that possible? I imagine many people would love to be able to close programs using this button.
I hate to be so wrong, so quickly.
My mistake, AE button is exactly what I was looking for it. I was remapping the wrong button. Although it isn't easy to use, I recommend it to all.
I would prefer a reg-tweek to add the option to the buttons dialog, but this will do.

This is the simplest and non 3rd party way to remap your buttons for long press. No need to install a program.
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"...
Hi folks,
with my Magician I used to remap a Hardwarebutton (Camera preferred) for Voice Command. Now on the Diamond ALL entries in the corresponding Menu disappered! The Progamentries in menu #2. are still there, but no buttons in list #1.
Does anybody know why? Hard- and Softresets make no difference.

AFAIK, the Diamond has only one configurable button. The Long Press Send Key (as in, the call key) is the only thing that can be changed... (and that may be disabled on some devices)
Which button do you use for MSVC
Thanks for the answer, but which button do you use for MSVC?
Actually if you are using a button remapping program, for example i'm using spb pocket plus', you can also remap the ok (hold) button too.
so a total of 2 remappable buttons for diamond only

I personally don't... It may be possible to redirect the long press keys to things (long press end goes through a shortcut in \Windows)
you can use ae button plus
With this you can remmap all the buttons + volume bauttons + many more.

How do you get aeb to work while running another program? I can only get it to work on the today screen?
Thanks! now I use AE Button und remapped the long pressed "Volume up" to MSVC. Works perfect!
does anyone know a possibility to have the home button on the td2 closing an active application. its kinda hard to press the upper right X with the fingers and would be nice to have it on that button... ohwell it should close the app and go to the homescreen actually any chance to get that working?
Settings / All Settings / Personal / Buttons and there you can change function of your button (initial value is "Today")
actually i only have 1 button to configure there.. and im not even sure which one is that... its called button 1... ??
this is the answer button long pressed.
i use that for soft reset program
In most applications the back key acts the same as pressing the 'X' on the top right corner.
Only in Opera, as far as I know & maybe YouTube, that thee back key will act as 'Back'.
sadly this is not true.. even if i configure the answer button to ok/close it does not work properly. for example.. i open calendar and use the back button or press answer button a long time it will not close it - its still visilbe in the tasklist in upper right corner of the screen.
or is there maybe an app which will shutdown all open tasks when phone goes to standby mode?
long press for all the buttons are now pretty much re mappable in some way (CM is a great example). But the menu button's long press cannot be re mapped to my knowledge.
To me the default menu long press is pretty useless. am i the only one that thinks this? is there a method i am overlooking that lets one remap the long press menu?
It brings up the keyboard right ? Its quite useless but has helped me bring back the terminal on numerous occasions
