You can also soft reset by holding down the power button until the "Power will be turned off..." message appears. Hit "yes", then power on again.
As I'd like to avoid installing bunches of different programs, I simply use Quick Menu (which is - IMHO - a "must" for WM users) which also allows to SR the phone.

that actually works really nice.
when i press the start flag, i get the quick menu.
when you press start you get the htc start menu.
rotating the screen still does not work well.
Is there any way to soft reset the phone wihout pressing the power button? Would be nice with a shortcut in "Programs" for example

I recommend you to use psShutXP, you will see it in this forum, It has other useful features such as turning the screen off. I have it on my start menu.
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.

x1ButtonMapper, already tried that?
cheers
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.

Havent tried that yet, can it do what i want?
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...
Hi guys,
For suspending power on my Topaz I use a little programm called MySuspend.
However, it started to make problems on my analog clock in my Co0kie Home Tab home screen. This clock seams to stop going when the device is suspended.
BTW, the nominal flip-clock goes as it should.
I marked also that when suspending (turning off screen) with the power button, it does not influence that analog clock, so....
could anybody help on how to assing the direct functionality ????
(I use Advanced Config to assign. The question is actually what is the actual .exe file, that is nominaly assigned to powef button).
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am not certain of the actual 'power off' function and what .exe initiates it, but if you install TD2 Tools (or whatever the latest version is called) you can set your softkey in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Set HomeLSKText"="Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" to initiate Boot manager Screen, as shown below.

Thanks Bruce for the hint,
but I just would like to click the left soft key and it should be done (suspended).
The choice of couple of options is a bit to many clicks to go.
Thanks anyway
Anybody knows the solution ???
One thing you can try...
I'm not certain if TD2 Tools replaces anything in regards to .exe's but if you can browse through your windows folder and look for some type of power???.exe (not sure what it would be called exactly) but it should start with 'power' and see if you can find the .exe that activates a power down.
That's how I found the .exe in my previous post, but mine may have been replaced....
Sorry, just to be clear, you want to power off device or just suspend?
Bruce,
I want just suspend the device, exactly as the power button does it
I may be wrong but.....
I don't think it can be done as the power button suspends via the baclight settings in the registry.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"ACBrightness"=dword:0000000a
"ACTimeout"=dword:00000000
"ACTimeoutTemp"=dword:00000000
"ACTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000000
"AutoBklOffset"=dword:00000000
"AutoDeviceLockEnable"=dword:00000001
"AutoDeviceLockTimeout"=dword:00000005
"AutoSensor"=dword:00000001
"BatteryTimeout"=dword:00000078
"BatteryTimeoutTemp"=dword:00000000
"BatteryTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000078
"Brightness"=dword:00000007
"DimBKLinUnlockScreen"=dword:00000000
"LedOnOffAdcValue"=dword:0000013f
"LightDetectOn"=dword:00000000
"MAXBrightnessScale"=dword:0000000a
"MINBrightnessScale"=dword:00000001
"QKeyLedTimeout"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:00000000
There is no .exe involved.
Well,
I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button.
So if that is an exe-file for this action, then ......... ??
I assumed you had checked for the .exe already!

As I wrote before "I found in Windows folder poweroff.exe"
So hopefuly there might be some other option for suspending as the button, but where .......
Perhaps something is getting lost in translation here but....
You stated "I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button."
Does that mean when you click the poweroff.exe, your phone goes to suspend as it does when you hit the power button? Did you confirm this?

Sorry, I've been away for a while.
When I click power.exe, it asks "Do you really want to turn off your device?",
ie. it's as if I would press & hold the phisical power button.
So, if that function of the power button exists as an exe-file, I assume that a suspend-function also would, but I can not find anything like "suspend.exe".
Maybe the file has another name ??
Grab Keyboard Config for Topaz from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821&highlight=keyboard+config
Edit action for button of your choice. Under the Power management category, I have screen power toggle, suspend device and reset device.
Is this what you are after?

My goal was to assign the "suspend" action to the left soft key,
but thanks a lot arrow224 !!
I assigned one of the hardware buttons & will test it
Can someone that knows what they are doin make an app to turn the PTT button into the SOFT RESET button? I mean to function just as the real SOFT RESET button does, push and soft reset happens. No pop-ups askin to confirm just soft reset when pushed.
This would be great and would cut down on having to remove the battery cover.
I've mapped the PTT button on the ATT version to various things, and can tell you that its very easy to hit this button on accident. Therefore, mapping it to soft reset IMO is not a great idea.

This is an interesting idea. I am currently using Rhodium Keyboard Controller. After reading your post, I mapped the START button to "Default Key Action" for Click and I am trying RESET.exe assigned to Triple Click. The location of the Window Start button and Triple Click is less likely to trigger accidently (so far so good)
As a LEFTY, here is how I have mapped the PTT:
CLICK= Back
Double Click=Camera
Triple Click=Send Recieve all
Long Press= Voice Command
I hope this is helpful.
★ Device: AT&T Tilt 2
★ Radio: 4.49.25.95
★ ROM: Energy.RHODIUM.21684.CHT2.0.Sencity.Nov.8
Like syNRGz said, you could use the Keyboard Config app to map the PTT button to the reset function. U can usually find the reset button in the start menu.. so u can access it from Windows/StartMenu/.. and then the reset.ink or sometimes its in tools or settings folder. it will still ask u to confirm but jus like Redpoint said, its really not a good idea to map PTT button to reset. it can be accidently pressed and the phone will restart. You dont need to open the back cover to reset. You can always reset from the start Menu. The ROM comes w/ a reset button.
ANother way is to map the PTT button to 'Power Management' in the keyboard config and then select reset.
I hope this helps.
I use the Rhodium keyboard controller for the PTT button with the following settings.
1 Click - Task Manager or Arkswitch
2 Clicks- Wi-Fi Toggle
Long Press - Camera
Works good for me, do you really want a button where you only have to push it once and it soft resets without confirming? Just use quickshutdown and a long hold to the sleep button will get you a soft reset just a swipe away. Or just drill a hole in the side of the back cover where the reset button is so you don't have to take off the rear cover to press it.
