[Fixed] how can I map Ctrl button to the hardware

[FIXED]
now that I know how to remap the windows key on the qwerty, I will write a small step by step for other users having trouble with PQzII
Please note that all photos here are taken from the PQzII website, but I'm making them a little bit more simple.
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/DOC/index_e.htm
After you install the application:
1. Tap the white square until you get a drop down menu... choose Setup
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. On the first Tab [Ctrl/Alt] choose an SIP for Portlait/Landspace mode.
3. Choose a button from your qwerty that you don't use and you want to be used as Ctrl, for example Windows button (you can do the same for Alt)
4. You're basically done here... but you still want to get rid of the white square near start button, right?
5. go to a tab called [Icon]
move the bar to right so you get ICON POS= 240 [this is in portrait]
6.Change the orientation by sliding out the kb, then do the same as in #5. but now ICON POS=320
Please not that after you have don this trick, you will no longer see white square any more, thus you won't be able to enter the setup unless you go the PQzII folder and rung the setup manually : hit program PQzII_Setup.exe
7. make a shortcut of PQzII.exe in Windows/Startup
8.Done!
if you wish to know about the rest of the options PQzII offers, please visit the link posted above.
PQzII will run in the background in order for it to work
I had some problems with PQzII and Arabic Localization[can't write arabic untill I close PQzII even if the arabic SIP is choosen], but this may not concern many users here
I know this is not the greatest gide, but I wanna share my info with other users, espesially those having the same problem I had befor....
Cheers

OLD TOPIC
-------------------------------
Hi everyone
I was wondering if there is a way to map a button from the qwerty to act as Control button?? let's say Fn key: when you press it for long time it'll become a ctrl key
I have seen many applications that can remap buttons.. but I couldn't find any one that will work on the qwerty.. all work on the hardware buttons next to the screen and on the sides of the device...
any ideas??
thanks in advance

Question how can I map Ctrl button to the hardware
HI!
Try PQZ or PQZII program, it´s free.

Wait for it where? I too want to add CTRL to the physical keyboard! Will make copy cutting and pasting so much easier.

I finally figured out how to use PQZII, it's really useful
in case anyone want's to check out the very usefull guide Menneisyys made, here is the link
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2246&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more2246

before i download this thing, i would like to quickly know if it will remap the physical key on the keyboard, or the button..
what i mean is if i where to map the windows key as the control key, would i still be able to use the windows key on the front of the phone (the one thats not on the keyboard) to get to the start menu?

I can tell you how it works on my hermes, i guess its the same with the Kaiser: If you Switch the Win-Key to Control-Key via PQzII this will also affect the front Win-Key, not only the Win-Key on the Slide-Keyboard...
Gue

it only affects the Win key on the qwerty

thats a bit of a contradition up there..
since the site is down.. i will post the cab
I cant get it to work... all the sites with the info are down or dont give explinations..
all i get is a little White box next to the start menu.. i was wondering if someone could give me really simple instructions on how to replace the windows key with the ctrl key.

Please read the first post, I have updated it with a mini guide, hope this will help
cheers

doesn't work

how did you manage to affect only the qwerty win-key and not the front key? in my kaiser both keys are affected by assigning the ctrl to the win.
i checked that both keys have the same system key code so technically it's not possible to assign in any application two different behaviours to these two keys. dod you really manage to do this? if yes, let me know what settings you put.

WIN hw butt. as CTRL
Doesn't work on my HTC TyTn II
I set PQzII like manual but HW keys doesn't work.
WIN button doesn't work as CTRL but WIN.

can it be made to actually work with a long press of the end key as intended - this would be really handy?

thats exactly question, what i wanted to ask
but not sure - we need to find out how to deal with that

Doesnt work with a long press on the END button, trying to figure how to do that....
Nadavi..

Ok, I'm confused. The app is called "long press end key", but it has nothing to do with the end key, but rather the right softkey?

Very strang name for a program that dosen't do what the name says. Nice application, but on my Tytn II it dosen't want to use the RED END key, instead it uses the right soft key.
File attached for those who cant Rapidshare.

Can you attach it to the forum, because rapidshare is blocked to me (surf at work )
Thanks.

Thank you for all of the HTC newest and greatests!!!! VERY GOOD!

Does anyone know how to map the HTC end key program to the end key?
UPDATE:
the regedits HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\LongEndFunction enables or disables the longendkey function.
When I set it to 1 it enables the function, however it only does a devicelock. Right now I'm trying to find a regedit that will set the function to open up the ENDKEY app. If we had the registry from the Touch Dual this would be easy to find.

bump!!! any help would be appreciated.

How can you turn the Tilt on without using the power button

I have tried to do a Google search and searched XDA for an answer and I can't find it. Maybe I am just putting in the wrong keywords.
I thought I saw where there is a way to have the Tilt wake-up by using any of the front buttons vs the side power button. Can someone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks!

I knew it was something simple! Thank you! Any way to map a single button and have the others locked? Just curious.

I like the "Lock all buttons" mode to prevent the Tilt from being turned on accidently and draining the batteries in my pocket.
But a simple easy way to turn on the Tilt with the buttons locked and not touching the power button, is to slide the screen 1/8 -1/4 inch quickly and let it go back. The unit turns on without the power button even though the buttons are all locked!

Hi:
I am wondering the same thing as the OP. Has anyone found a way to map a different button to "wake" the device up? The power button is just too hard for me to find at times (like when I'm driving).
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks!

Sliding the keyboard wakes up the device.

Sliding the keyboard does not wake up my kaiser. There must be some setting somewhere that is causing this behavior for those of you that are experiencing it.

Hi:
Thanks for your reply. I do have the slider unlock activated, but I prefer not to open it each time I want to use phone, I am actually looking for a way to unlock via a key if possible.
Thanks anyway!

Set it to not lock the buttons and any button will unlock it.

Hi Super:
I did see that post earlier. I guess I probably should have explained myself more clearly. I do not want all keys unlocked, since this would lead to buttons getting pressed by accident when in a pocket or purse. What I am actually looking to be able to do, is wake device with ONE key (instead of the power button). Perhaps by remapping another button to perform the action of the power button, or some other change.
For example, on the Treo 750, you just press the end button, then push the action button. The end button wakes the device, the action button unlocks it.
Thanks again!

You can always set the lock on the phone so that once a button is pressed you'll still have to press unlock on the screen.

Hi:
You're right, I think that's what myk meant. I think he was meaning that sliding the keyboard would wake the device.

Yes, if the phone is actually powered down, the only way to turn it on is with the power button.

I had exact same problem. Fidning the power key whilie driving and otherwise is pain too. So I disabled the key lock from above setting that means any hard key will turn the device on, but I also installed S2U2 or slide to unlock, so if the device was turned on by accident in my pocket, it will go off again soon.

should i start a new topic or can i post here
How can you turn the Tilt off without using the power button?

Long press wont shut down tilt *FIXED*

Sorry if I'm reposting, I found something similar but nothing really like my problem. I haven't installed any programs withing the last month but when I hold the long press and try to shut down the device, it asks me if i want to do that i press yes then screen goes black. But if i quickly press the power button the screen comes back and it didn't actually shut down just lost service. If you go to com manager and try to enable service again it will search for hours and only way to get it back is to soft reset. Anyone else had this happen? Thanks (I dont want to hard reset I have way too many programs that would take years to find again)

back up the programs using sprite backup and do a hard reset

intsall schaps advanced config, then menu>Key mapping and see what it says for "Long press Power key:"

i did that to mine by accident when i was remapping the buttons and i remapped the long power for something else and i couldnt shut down my device anymore. luckily i was going to update the rom anyways, but from what i remember there is no way to map it back originaly

The second pic that he has with the program linked to the longpress shutdown key, I don't have that file the only things I have close to it is powerexe.exe and poweroffwarning.exe. Do you have the same thing that he does? It would make sense of my phone shutting down if its missing tha program but who knows maybe its something custom it is schaps after all.

Can anyone post this LongPressPowerKey.exe program from their kaiser? Please

poweroffwarning.exe

Thanks for the help arnoo I really appreciate it, but it doesn't work, program starts loader does the swirl and nothing.

unfortunately, it's normal...
Long Press Power Key is developed by Schap's and need to be integrate in the rom (i think in mscoree.dll). Even if you had LongPressPowerKey.resources.dll
And no cab for the moment...

Thanks lol, now that makes sense why it doesn't work. Do you know if there is anyway to find out what the the longpress shutdown is linked to so i can link it back, i really don't want to flash it.

Poweroff is managed by \windows\PowerOffWarning.exe
And you must have HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ShowWarningMsg fix to 1
Finally, in schaps advanced config, then menu>Key mapping, "Long press Power key" => keep it blank
hope it will work...
if not, back up with Sprite back up, and try an hard reset

I have the exact same problem right now.

After you unistall the Proxified/custamizable HTC Home you have to clear the bind in advanced config mapper.

if you dont wanna lose your applications and programs just do a sprite backup and hard reset the device to get it back to original settings like somebody else said before..its prolly your best bet to get what you are looking for.

Hard reset tutorial!

Hi everybody!
I'm very new to HTC and WM6.1 but I know hard reset is not that complex.
Anyway I saw two video-tutorials.
In the first the guy only pressed the two buttons and then followed the on screen indications, in the other video the guy used the stylus and the two buttons, but the result lookes the same... are there any differences?
Thanks a lot! (I don't want to destroy my Kaiser )

Search and ye shall receive, all answers to most questions can be found in the Kaiser wiki, including this one.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets
You can also do a software generated hard reset by pressing" clear storage " in your program menu.

Ok thanks a lot!
I read somewhere that a hard reset made without the stylus and the two buttons (the "hardware" way to do it) is not safe.
Bye!

To hard reset, make sure you've backed up all the files you want using your Sprite back-up.
Then hold down the two buttons, (one above the explorer symbol and the other above the envolope symbol) Hold these down and stick stylus in the reset whole right and above usb port, and hold for about 3 -5 seconds (not just push and release) Hold until screen comes on white with blue lettering saying-
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
to start the reset you just hit the green phone symbol, it will do some seleteing , then ask you to hit ok to boot (or something along those lines) and you just hit the green phone symbol again.
just email me at [email protected] if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the support!!
I did it! All right!

Good to see you got help here, but I must shoot in here that you really should open youre user manual wich the phone came whit. If you dont have that this is wery wery well described in wiki and +50 other treads in there. I am not trying to be a complete d**k here, but its sad to see the quality of this board has fallen so much that this isnt a 13+ flame tread; in before lock ect. lol.
Seriously, you should make a bether effort.
Its actually harder to google this problem and not get a solution than getting the answer youreself.
