Hi,
The OK button at the side of the device is not "connected" to the OK button on the face of the device.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to remap the side-ok button to do something else.
I would love to know the same.
The killer app for this button for me would be as a 'back' button for pocket IE, which means it'd hit the left soft button.

Without third-party apps.....you can't

Well then, how about WITH third party programs? AE Button Plus can't do it. What other ones can?
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.
Whats wrong with the ok button?
its like an alt-tab to the today screen! so awesome.
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 didn't have much luck remapping the OK button either. In AE Button it sort of maps to the Windows button, and I was able to change it...but never was able to get everything else working right after that and had to put it back.
I don't know the kaiser, but isn't Hbutton a solution for remapping hardware-keys ? On my Artemis i'm very happy with it...
Hbutton does not work on Tilt. especially setting it up

For me AE Buttons Plus did work. Then I wrote a MortScript to have the button act as a back button only in PIE:

Hope this helps.

now i got an kaiser and using hbutton of course - working very well, mapped "OK/Close" and CommManager to the ok button and no issues.
Hbutton is one of the best ppc apps imo.
edit - damn - i remaped the front ok button - the side ok button can't be remaped with hbutton afaik.....sorry, my mistake...
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.

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,
-Dan
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 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!
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
Start - Settings - System

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.

Any more detail on what registry to edit ? And why change it to voice command?
With the limited Hardware buttons on the diamond I find apps like HButton indispensable.
I have tweaked mine to suit the Default Diamond layout very nicely
Looks like it was meant to be like this from HTC
Link to a video clip of how it works.
http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/HButton.AVI 2meg
Mine is set to Cycle through the following apps
Voice Dial
Note2Self
Comm Manager
HButton Vibrates on each switch so it is easy to select the right app without looking at the device
Attached is a pic of the config screen to show you how to set it up like mine and a screenie of it in action

thanks for the tip..very useful.
That was a really cool application indeed. Thank you!
Thank you, muy buena
Very interesting, THX!
sssssssssssssssssensational!!!
Oooh
It is even better for Diamond than my friend's AEbutton Plus wich Id used before! (Don't tell him please
Thankss!
Hi,
I tested Hbutton, but it seems I can only assign the call button (hold).
There is no other buttons available.
Anybody have the same problem ?
Thanks
Yea only one button but its better than nothing
Jules
I'd also pick HButton IF it were possible to assign the "<--" button.
With AEButton I can do this, so sticking to that for now.
hbutton settings
Which HButton is the call button on? Hope I can get this working it was great on my vario 3.
Pete
hbutton on diamond
Looks like I cant even see any buttons in settings/buttons. I think T-Mobile have locked even the call button!
Pete
Thank you.
Thats really nice program.
If you have spb pocket plus installed you can assign to the ok key
this allows you to also assign a Hbutton to the key in the buttons dialog
therefore giving to h button enabled keys (Which is excelent
tried it ... adopted it
Thx.
Perfect completion for VoiceCommand.
Just set the "HButtonX.lnk" to toggle WLAN and rename it to "WLAN.lnk" or "WiFi.lnk"
After a soft reset you can switch on and off WiFi by starting this "App" with VoiceCommand.
this is genius!
thanks a lot

There is no key in the buttons dialog, that's my problem. How do I get one there?

No Hbutton in T-Mobile MDA Compact IV
Same here,I can't see HButton listed under buttons application.Looks like T-Mobile has removed it.Only Diamond people can see it.
Thanks
