hey there.
i search now a long time for a good programm to get phone profiles.
the problem is that i search one with which i can change the profiles over buttons or better shortcuts. (for exaple a button for vibra and normal...) this is because i'd like to use the buttons directly on my today screen or even in ifonz or such a touch thing. if anybody know what i'm searching for, please answer!
thanks!
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"...
Hullo all,
I have searched the whole theread and I couldnot find the answer so I am asking here from you geneus people.
I have MDA Compact IV and today I wanted to map my some of the keys to function or programmes.When I go to start-->Settings-->personal-->buttons tab.I found there is no button present to be mapped.Please tell me is this the problem with my phone only or diamond doesn't have any key available in the list to map.options I see-
1.select a button (no button is there).It should have listed "Button 1 (Hold)" but not
2. Assign a Programme (always set to blank)
How do I get back Button 1 (Hold) in the list back ?
Thank you so much in advance

that's the one i use. one button that can be mapped to 3,4,5....programs!
if you'll really search you'll find more options.
just try and search this forum and the "themes and applications" forum for "hardware buttons".
But Button 1 (Hold) is not listed ?

I did search, but everything i found required editing of the system files and registry and stuff. I was looking for a simpler way. Thanks.
If you're using an AT&T ROM, you have to do the registry stuff to remap it. I don't know much about this since I use an HTC ROM. Once that's done it can be set in the buttons settings since the orientation change is one of the choices there.
WM6.1 lets you remap keys in the settings menu.
Hello all... as it has become clear by now, the 4 touch keys act like the buttons on the Diamond 2 when using a Rhodium rom. Except for the home button that is.
For those unfamiliar, the home button and the hang up button are one on the Diamond 2, making the home button on the Blackstone reduntant. Now, I've googled the issue and found out that there is no reliable way to map the home button to anything, at least not with conventional means.
So here comes the million dollar (virtual of course) question - is it possible to remap the home button to act like the start button in the rhodium roms?
Now that the Diamond2 is out, has anyone made any progress regarding this?
