Ok guys some help here would be greatly appreciated.
What u boys think about this:
-assign the lock function to a soft key
-I'm talking about the "lock" function that is invoked when you hold the end key. Not the PIN lock code.
-which is the path to this lock function, I searched all over and find. I found this, this.
-Or in that case which is the path to invoke this menu therefore omitting the hold end key. No hard press used.
Thanks very very much to everyone.
Luck fellaasssss

I have searched the forums long and wide for it and I cannot find it. Is it simly cooked into roms as an oem package or is there an actual cab we can install for those that are using prebuilt roms?
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356192
read the first post. I think you will have to create the Long_End.lnk and assigned it to EndKey.exe
this may also be of interest

i'm pretty sure you didn't try the advanced google search. Please use that next time. Searching endkey cab on there gave me a bunch of searches on this thread.

Here you go...
long press delay
is there a way to change the durations of long press?
I think it takes too long for along press end key and long press power keys to work.
I can't seem to find the registry entry where to change.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks

I actually think he wants "long press power key". That is the one that is cooked into numerous roms. If you search for long press end key, or HTC end key, you will find plenty of threads. Long press power key is a different story.
Edit: Ok I think I was wrong. Long press power key is by Schaps. He wants the long press end key mapped to the red end call button. If you install it normally, which is what you get 10000 threads on if you search, it installs it to the right soft key.

All you have to do for any of the long or short keys is change the .lnk shorcut name to Long_Power.lnk or Short_Power.lnk or Long_Send.lnk or Short_Send.lnk or Long_End.lnk or Short_End.lnk, etc. etc. etc.
If you rename or create a shortcut name as above & point it to the program you want to run & then place it in the \Windows directory it will work.
You don't need a cab, or any configuration tool.
I know something much better:
AE Button Plus http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php, you can give any button a long press function of even a double/triple click function.
You can use it for free.
I use the Internet buttons double click for toggling bluetooth, the Email buttons double click for toggling WiFi, the left softkeys press+hold for devicelock and the enter keys press+hold for AltTab.
You know you can do all of that without adding a few more mb's to your system & another startup app. AE Button works don't get me wrong, but it's not for me since I can accomplish everything it does already from the registry. (The keyboard driver contains all kinds of neat shortcuts you can use, you only have to disassemble it to see). It's great for a novice though.
There is another easy way to configure this. (No need to install HTC End Key)
Install Schaps Advanced Config.
Then go to Menu, Key Mapping and choose what you want for Long Press Send Key, End Key and Power Key.

I did this but everything except the first two (left and right softbuttons) are grayed out - I can't change what's there. What am I doing wrong?

same here..any solutions?

Wow - I've been using Advanced Config for ages (consider it essential) but had no idea it handled key mapping. Good to know.
I just tried it on my problem though and it's a no-go. My problem is that HTC End Key is cooked into the ROM I'm using and neither remapping through Advanced Config nor manually adding a shortcut (in this case ArkSwitch.lnk renamed as Long_End.lnk) works - the stupid HTC End Key programme just pops its ugly head up instead offering me a handful of useless options I can't change.
Any ideas? I'm using a 6.5.x ROM so HTC Task Manager doesn't work and ArkSwitch doesn't always open when clicking the title bar, due to the notification drop down, and I need quick access to a task manager.
Btw I use my phone's GPS for work a lot (in landscape mode) so Long_Send is already mapped to Rotate Screen.
Can anybody help?
Guys,
Anyone know a way to tweak the time needed for the long press of the end key to take effect and lock the keypad?
At the moment it takes too long holding it down before it kicks in so it would be great to reduce the time and make locking the handset a bit easier.
Thanks

Perhaps have a look in the registry??...i woudlnt know myself which entry it may be but hopefully bumping this up...will get someones attention.
Personally i use my long key press to kill off my data connection...
Also searched for the key in the registry, but i didn't found anything yet..
I have exactly the same wish. Nobody any idea? Com on registry specialists

Is there any other way to lock the keypad apart from the long press?
I'd quite like to change my long press to 'Disconnect Data Connections' - but dont want to lose the ability to lock the keypad.

If you use advanced config and start it up...go into menu and comm settings..you can specify how long your connections stays on till it disconnects automatically. So you can use the button for locking the phone.
Or you could go into your battery settings and under advanced...specify how long you want the phone turned off ie locked if its not being used..goes from 40 secs to 5 mins.
Dont know if that will help but its the only thing i can think of.
I am also searching for a way to shorten the delay for both phone buttons. I would need about half the time...
I have the solution! At least, I'm satisfied with it.
Install AE Button Plus on your machine (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php). It's not free, but it took away a lot of my annoyances lol.
You can assign multiple functions to any key. The way I've sorted it out now, is that a long press on the disconnect button shows up a TF3D menu, a double press brings up the Start menu and a triple press locks the device. And my triple press is definately faster then pressing it and holding it till it locks lol.

Are we talking about the on/off button on the top of the Diamond here? I only ask because I thought I`d set it to `Disconnect Data Connections` but it still will only turn off the phone.

It's unusualy long delay...
it is really too long. tweak is needed immediateli
c'mon developers run....
+1 same wishes here.
i've set the key to lock phone and it takes toooooo long...
+1 Needed ASAP
There has to be a tweak for this.....
HastaSSSS
I'm giving this a little bump.
It's a WM bad thing, not the only one
Wait for WM7 or install AEButtons

hold time is too long
to lock my diamond I set long press on Lock Device, and create a shortcut under the home touchflo with the path EndKey.exe
it's the better solution I have found to lock the diamond quickly
I hope it's clear....!
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...
Ive tried remapping my search button before and if i remember correctly I could only remap the long press for my search button. What i really want to change is short (soft) press of my search button. I never use the search feature and I use the application Quick Settings all the time. I would like to remap a single short press to open up Quick Settings instead of search. I would greatly appreciate any help with this
+1 on this!
For me (ie. IMHO), the search button is at best, useless and at worst, a waste of screen real estate. Great suggestion!
long press for all the buttons are now pretty much re mappable in some way (CM is a great example). But the menu button's long press cannot be re mapped to my knowledge.
To me the default menu long press is pretty useless. am i the only one that thinks this? is there a method i am overlooking that lets one remap the long press menu?
It brings up the keyboard right ? Its quite useless but has helped me bring back the terminal on numerous occasions
