Hi all. I truly apologize if I'm posting something that's already been covered, but I've searched for a while now on this one. I've done the PTT fix with PTT_Fix_4Tilt.zip (thanks the many posts for showing the way to that one), but I'd like to remap the push and hold feature for the PTT button to bring up the task manager. Has anyone done this, or know how to do it?
Thanks a bunch!
the answer is not from here, just on the wiki

Thanks but doesnt answer my question...
Thanks for replying, but it doesn't answer my question. I was not asking "How to remap the PTT button" - I already have done that (as I said in my post)-, but pointing out that once the PTT button is remappable, ther is no selection under button assignments to choose for launching the task manager. If someone knows, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, I did this, but it takes a trick. You have to go into the Windows folder and find the taskmanagerapp.exe and make a shortcut for it. Take that shortcut and paste it into the Windows > Start Menu > Programs folder (or any subfolder you wish thereafter) and get out of file explorer. Then you can pick the shortcut to be used for the button assignment. I also did this for the backlight. If you use AE Button +, you can get a lot more hotkey options and really go nuts.
Thanks, I'll try that and look into AE +
Thanks.Finally got working Task Manager shortcut

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.

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.
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 my guess is that there is no registry for PTT to work. Does anyone know what I have to add in the registry to make PTT work. I still get the PTT alerts and hear when people try to contact me but when I hit the PTT button on my Tilt the damn Task Manager comes up. I can't change the program it opens in buttons because the PTT option is not on the list. So i believe the registry is not there. Please help I'm paying for something I can't use and I really need this feature. Hope some of you tech guys could assist me. Will donate if it works.
I'm not having that problem but I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to alter the push to talk button. I would like to set it up to be used for something else.

Which ROM. A lot of cooks disable the PTT button and reassign it. Please search the forum... this topic has been covered.
No it hasn't been covered actually. I manually search through so many pages, used the search feature and to no avail. I know their are ROM's with the PTT built in to the ROM but I love Schaps Rom and don't want to switch to lets say Dutty's. No Offense. I still hear when my buddies PTT me but I can't respond because the PTT button is mapped to Task Manager. If I try and change the mapping I don't have a Push to Talk Option. I think something needs to be added in the registry and if I knew I'd not be doing this right now. Based on my topic and the amount of views It looks like no one seems to know the answer. How about this, if you can find the "topic" I will Paypal you 20 dollars. Deal?
and KB cherry there is a thread with some CAB file downloads. Theres a cab so you can remap the PTT button for whatever funtion you want. If you can't find it provide me your email address and i'll attach the CAB file so you can just drag it to your desktop. send your email addy on a private message.
If it's there as you say & it's jus Registry related take a look at my old Reg dump text. It's a .txt, so you can use the "find" feature for "PTT".
i appreciate your help man with the link of the REG dump file. And for the last person who said it was already covered while you're looking for that post to prove me wrong slap yourself in the back of the neck for being ignorant and providing no help whatsoever. Waste of a post
Ok i'm looking at the Registry Log and I'm using Schaps 4.31 with the built in registry editor. I cannot add a new key because there is no option to do so. I only have the option to Open Path, Copy Path, View, Refresh,About and Exit. Should I be using another registry editor
Yeah the registry editor is schaps 4.31 will not let you add keys. I just download FHM reg editor and it works fine. Still working on the PTT fix. When I get the fix i'll post it on the forum. A cab file would be nice to have.
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)

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

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.
