Hard buttons assignment

Hello,
Could you confirm that only the "Call" (hold) button can be customized ? (via the out of the box settings, buttons)
Did somebody manage to customize the "OK" button (hold) ? that would work from any application ?
Thanks

Did you try that one?
With my firmware the only available button I have on the list is the call button (Button 1).
The second button is hardcoded to lock phone.
And there is not way to associate anything to any other button.
C'mon HTC, this is SICK!
Ciao,
Davide.

The second button can be assigned other functions like Data connection termination, airplane mode etc

Anyone know if AEButtons will work on the Diamond? I have used it on virtually every device I own including my touch. Waiting for a US Diamond.

It works, but you can't customize the new Back Key.

How about Hbutton? It works great on my Diamond and you can assign different programs to the Call ( hold) button at the same time.

Yes, but only to the call button. With this phone is just like you have two buttons when you really have 9 more but you can't customize them!

That's funny because I just did.
I set the "OK key" (in AEBPlus) this way:
1: Close active application
Long: "Coreplayer"
Now that dreaded back key actually closes the running program!

On the MDA compact 4 you cant even configure the call button!

I'm using Spb Pocket plus 4.02 TF3D and the taskmanager turned off
(using SPB Shell)
OK button = close
I think it's better then AE button plus, it doesn't support ok/close together.
So with SPB pocket plus you can make an appointment and push the back button to save and close the appointment

It works but with some bugs. No problem al all when TF 3D is not active as today plugin, you can configure every hard button to whatever behaviour you like. But when TF active strange things happen:
Red (hang) button, enter (circled one) and volume buttons always work in simple, double, triple and hold pressing.
Home button and return only work when you are not in home screen or if an app has been launched. Also they work if you are in home screen but after pressing start and the menu is showed.
Weird, don't you think?

Confirmed.
The best thing for MDA Compact IV is to reassign the 2nd Softbutton in the registry to VoiceCommand, make your own HButtons for WiFi-toggle e.g. and rename them.
My Perfect solution.

[Resolved] Remap volume control buttons

Sorry if it was already covered elsewhere, - is there any way to remap auctions for these side buttons on Diamond ? I don't change volume level that often, all done through profiles, imho up/down arrow or scroll function would be much more beneficial ...
Update: AEButton Plus does the thing perfectly, thanks to Geekess for the hint

volume up/down is OK but long press may be very useful for Explorer, task manager etc...

In other words configurable .. would be great for camera too, not easy to make pictures with central button, not stable enough ...
I did not follow development news for previous HTCs, so not sure if it was ever done before ...the fact is that these buttons are not available from Settings (

You can use PQZ II for remapping the volume key. Try to google it.

well, does not look good at the end, maybe these are hidden features, but I could not find a way of how to use the volume buttons independently (they work as Ctrl or Alt, no problem here, but I wanted to use them as one button - one action, not two buttons - one action). Another problem, Up/Down or Scroll are not available for selection as actions ....
So it should be possible to change that, the matter of finding the right program now ..
Wish there were more buttons on Diamond, or at least proper navigation buttons ...

Hmm... for me it does not work, get the message:
keyboard hook faild
any suggestions?

What works for me is AEButton Plus (payware, no affiliation). I have reconfigured my volume buttons to single press = arrow up/down and long press to volume. The program has a nice function: you can choose to let the volume buttons have their default behavior during a phonecall.
I'm using the trial right now, but if I can't find a freeware program that has the same functionality I will probably buy this.

May I ask how you've gone on with AEButton? I'd be interested to hear your long(er) term experience of having used it as it sounds like exactly what I want/need.
Mathew

all good, does what it says, configured it once and just using since ..

Tried latest HButton 2.3, but think it is not compatible ... anyone else tried it?

Home Button bug with new Manilla

Anyone knows how to fix the Home button bug when cooking BlackStone ROM with Rhodium manila OEM packages ? The Home button actually works but instead of taking the user to the Home screen it takes to the previous state in Manila. I have seen this has been reported in various custom ROM threads and I've seen some chefs fixing this problem, however I did not find anyone sharing a solution to this bug yet. I bet it's gonna be some RGU setting I missed.. Anyone having experience with this ?
S.
RESOLVED: Install the following cab from here
All credits to Hankv2

I doubt it is a reg setting alone. It is most likely a value which has to be edited from one the of the manila files as the hardware buttons are different on the rhodium. I'm trying to fix the the gsensor on/off in settings tab. The problem is the value coming from manila is it report the value of 1 for on which is correct, but reports a 2 for off which should be a 0. I don't know which manila file to edit.

Thanks Onkolog I will look in to these.

Great!
I have a problem with the GSensor as well! Davide advised to switch back to original BlackStone OEM package, but that did not help at all. When launching the GSensor calibration, the waterlevel bars are frozen. Anyways, if you find a solution to that or to my Home HW button mentioned above, please share
Regards,
Sasovics

And yes, I agree with you bobsbbq, the Topaz/Rhodium manila behaves different as the Hardware Buttons are different as well. From the attached screenshot you can see that on the Topaz device, the End key is the Home key as well! And if you cook in Topaz's manila into BlackStone ROM, it behaves the same way. While on call the end key will end the call, but on every other situation it behaves as the Home key on my BlackStone. So what we have to find is a way to redefine in manila to bring up the Home screen when the actual Blackstone's Home key (instead of the End key) is pressed

And IMHO it's much better like that...
The consequece is that in Touch HD we will have one button more which could be redirected to something else
So, instead of forcing the home button to become the "Home" button, why not forcing it to something else as the End button is already redirecting to "Home" screen.
HastaSSSS

hi, i just installed L26 V9 and the home button works for me in all but calendar, music and settings, it works with my installed apps too. the end key does it when the home button doesn't.

Does that mean that mean, if you press the HW Home button, will it take you to the Manila Home screen and not just to the previous visible manila page ?
Pls try this example: Go to "Photos and Videos" tab, and tap on any picture to see it in a slideshow, then press the HW Home button. If it takes you back to the Manila Homescreen wiht the clock and not back to the "Photos and Videos" tab instead, then our friend Laurentius found a solution to this

For me it's wrong manila setting.......
If youu disable manilla from today ,home and back key work perfectly
with original biotouch.dll
Rhodium manila package home and back key are inverted
Topaz Manila Package home and key are "ok/close (back) function"
other informations:
with Biotouch.dll from topaz change the hardware Key configuration,but on Hd dont work correctly

Yes, I did the same! I cooked in the Topaz Manila Package along with the Topaz TouchFLO3D package and my hardware buttons weren't working at all. Replacing the biotouch.dll with the one from BlackStone's OEM fixed this problem except the mentioned HW Home button bug. I agree it must be either manila's setting or the biotouch.dll itself. But my bet is, it's the manila! Since the HW buttons behaves different on Topaz and Rhodium manila. And if it is indeed manila, the remaining question is, which if the many hundreds of manila files to edit ???

hi, today i'm wondering, if i was launching my apps from homescreen/start menu. when hitting the home button would this then take me back to homescreen ? if i launch apps from anywhere/start, then hit home button, i go back to anywhere. the home button is not functioning properly.

Really!! Well what do you think this tread its about? Reread the title again.

In the Rhodium ROM, if the back key is the home key and vice versa. Can´t this be fixed quite easily?

We need to find the correct manila file that handles this. The one of the many 2105 manila files...

Great work my friend, Which files was it in? Out of curiosity? I have not had time to work on the GSensor been too busy. Did you look into this one?

[APP+DRV] [Keys remapper] Raphael Keyboard Controller GSM/CDMA v1.4

This is what many touch pro/fuze owners want to have - ability to get full control over their keyboards.
This is for Raphael only! Do not try to install this on other devices!
Do not ask me to make a version for other device since my remappers are driver dependent and this can be very and very complicated without real device (if possible at all).
So, what is it ? It's a modified keyboard driver with configurator application for keys setup. Any key (yeah, i mean ANY, including Home and Back keys) can be reassigned to perform desired actions. Keys on a QWERTY keyboard are not an exception, they might be remapped too.
If any key has an action configured and is defined to be processed by my driver extension, it wouldn't go into the system. That is to say no one program even like AEButton will see key events processed by my driver.
Driver extension also can vibrate on any key press.
Modified drivers were tested on many ROMs based on different OEMs, so they would work in most cases.
Thanks dcd1182 for CDMA version testing.
Features:
Different event types supported: single, double and triple clicks, long presses
Two modes of key mapping: three actions per key or direct key mapping
Key repeats in direct key mapping mode
Actions sequence repeats in actions mode
Key combinations using FN modifier
Default key behaviour action - you won't loose key's default behaviour if you just want to add double click or long press to it
Different key behaviour depending on foreground process/window class/window text
Multiple rules for each key to provide different behaviour for each application you want
Multiple actions for each event
Different predefined actions:
Run program
Key press emulation
Send symbol/text to active window
Close active window
Switch to window by class/text
Terminate data connection
Wi-Fi toggle
BT toggle
Screen rotation
Power management (screen power toggle, suspend, reset)
Exceptions lists which are used to deny key remapping depending on foreground process/window class/window text
Configurable long press and double click duration
Configuration import/export in configurator
Changelog is located here.
Configurator UI localization support information is located here.
Requirements:
- .NET CF 2.0 (for configurator app)
- WM 6.1/6.5 compatible
Usage:
- Install SdkCerts.cab
- Install RaphKbdControl_XXX.cab
- Soft reset
- Check if keyboard works by pressing hardware buttons and seeing if they do their work, if not - uninstall cab, this wouldn't work on your current ROM
- If it works - go to the control panel and find "Keyboard Config" on a System page
How to define key processing:
- Run configurator (Control Panel -> System -> Keyboard Config)
- Press Menu -> Add key
- When dialog asking you to press key appears press and release desired key
- Set up needed options in key setup dialog and press OK (left softkey)
- In configurator's main window press left softkey "Update settings" to let new configuration take place (reboot is not needed, coz new settings will work immediately after saving)
What to do if keyboard doesn't work after uninstallation of this software:
- in any way stop device "KBD1:"
- for example, you can use Dotfred's TaskManager - navigate to Devices tab and find the KBD1: string, then press Stop
- delete files \Windows\keypad.dll and \Windows\kbdcntrl.dll
- soft reset
How to add new button to Buttons applet and get it working:
- add or copy existing key [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40CX], where X is 1-6
- under this key add next values:
* Name - display name of the button in list (doesn't matter what you write here, it's only for you)
* Icon - path to icon for this button
- goto configurator and define an 'emulate key press' action for any button you want and set these values here: key code - 'App X' and check 'Win' checkbox - only in this case button will work
- save settings and enjoy newly created button
TODO:
- optimization
- Shift+?? key combinations support (if there would be requests on this)
- more actions
- other useful things
- your suggestions ?
Backup before installing of modified driver is strongly recommended.
Be careful when downloading the cab, make sure you choose the correct version suitable for your device.
Also, here is small collection of AltTab programs attached.
You can use any of them assigned as 'run program' action to desired key to switch between running programs.

well im going to try this right now, thanks
tested and works great.
side note: under the todo list adding different key behaviours depending on active window would be great
thanks

Push!
What a great app ! Couold you try to add something like multi-pressd ?

Glad to see something like this come along.
Curious, any plans to integrate with the Buttons applet found in Settings?
Cheers,
Again, excellent work!

No. Although buttons applet and my extension do similar work, they work in different ways, so it's not possible to integrate them at this moment.

It is very cool program.
But it is not work with russian keyboard on official Rom
Or it's my mistake?
after uninstall app and soft reset do not work hardware keyboard,
and keys: on/off device (on the top side) and loudness (on left side)
What can I do?

Cool tool!!! If you implement to configure different behaviour for different programs that would be really nice!

Wow; this really does sound like the tool I was hoping for. (The hardware keyboard and the home/back etc keys? Perfect!)
Sadly, seems like the rom I am using (MightyROM5, for CDMA and Sprint) wasn't one of them... oh, well. If anyone else with CDMA has a ROM and tries this successfully, though, I'd love to know so I can try a different one.
For me, the hardware keys worked again after an uninstall and soft reset. (To turn the screen back on after it fell asleep while I was doing this, I had to hold the power key down as if I was going to force it to turn off, only longer than normal -- just a FYI if someone else has the same issue.)

i've analyzed CDMA keypad driver that mcw posted here, it's 90% similar to GSM version
i will patch it in a free time like my one, but i haven't a CDMA device to test it so you will need to test patched driver

Amazing app, exactly what I dream about, thanks!
I would also like to propose some more functions than just running app with keypress, like for example closing window, closing app, opening start menu, etc...
And, if anybody knows standalone symbols keypad replacement, with your superb program we can get rid of this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3911050

looking for a simple button reconfigurator

Hello,
i'm looking for a replacement for AEBplus
I only need a few simple things:
left and right button - should rotate my screen, like it does when i open the keypad
ok button - task manager (or today screen from where i could start the taskmanager)
ok button (long press) - start an application
end call (long press) - lock the device (the you need to enter your password kind of lock)
What program other that AEB can do that and wont use as much CPU resources as AEB does?

you can just go to settings>buttons and assign either keft or right soft key to screen rotate, easiest way IMO

No i cant..there is only the left and right softkey button. Nothing else..and i could not setup a long press this way.

I use AEButon Plus on my X1a and I am thrilled with it. It doesn't have much (if any) negative effect on performance on mine.
Have you tried it on the X1?
Also for End Key there is a program called "Long Press End Key" I think. It is nice, and cooked into a lot of ROMs.

I guess i could use mortscript for rotation, long press is obviously possible.
But what do i use as fast taskmanager? Can i start the built in taskmanager as application? And what can i use to password lock my device?
Edit: seems i loose the TAB key with X1ButtonMapper and the EndCall button isnt inclueded...thats bad

Is there a way to change some of the keys directly in the registry?

advanced config - menu (button) - more settings - key mappings

Mobile Magic doenst support the buttons i need. No longpress for End and no support for the OK button at all..that was the first program i tried.
To bad the options for the End key are grey in Advanced Conifg.

X1BC should allow for a lot more options than mx X1ButtonMapper. I think there is also a second application from the same author called X1BH or something. Check that out.
X1ButtonMapper is pretty lightweight actually. The most overhead involved will be by calling the script functionality but that is done asynchronous, meaning that X1ButtonMapper doesn't wait for the called application or script to finish - it just launches it.
I didn't remap the red and green phone buttons because they can't be easily remapped and I think they are central buttons which should keep their original functionality. I think remapping them will cause more bugs than you will gain functionality. With X1ButtonMapper you already gain enough options for the remaining keys (each with short and long press) which should be enough for most applications. You can also reassign the missing FN+key combos on the keyboard.
I did use the Tab key as Ctrl substitude because I think Tab is not important for Windows Mobile. It is substituted in most dialogs with the right/left keys so use these. You can get the original Tab function when pressing FN+Tab for the few situations where you really need it.
I am using X1ButtonMapper for a long time now and havn't had any stability issues - maybe that's the trade off for having less features.

X1Button manager somehow didnt react to my OK key. I allready have a standalone taskmanager mortscript could run but Ok didnt do anythink. Longpress of the softkeys to rotate the screen worked nicely though.
Longpress delay is a little longer than im used to but that not a big problem.
The longpress of the End key has allready a keylock function as standard setting (wich i find totally stupid because i turn the device of with the switch on top). There must be a registry setting that i could alter so it would run the password lock instead.
I will check into X1BC...

X1BC works thank you...and i like it much more than X1BM because i can setup everything to my likings, longpress timing, vibration on/off and wether i want a Control key replacement.
I could even use the panel key to lock my device if reprogramming of the end key button is not possible.
Does anyone know wich program i have to run to password lock my device? Maybe its possbile with mortscript..i should check that...
