Map X Button App to hardware button

I have been through several very long threads on this and several people have asked but no one ever answers. I am a big fan of the button mapping programs and want to be able to call up the HTC app which shows the currently running programs. I am not even sure what to call it, as I have seen it as X Button, and also as Task Manager. However, I am not looking for the settings menu Task Manager utility which is the full fledged program allowing some setting changes and adding programs to the excluded list, etc. Rather I am looking for the Pop Up menu that comes up when you tap and hold the close button. I have search my device for every .EXE and tried them all, yet I still can not figure out how to call this program directly. Is this not possible? Is it similar to a today plug in that requires you to be on the Tday screen to run it? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe Spb Pocket Plus can do this. It has a button mapper, but you can also set "OK" (Butto 4) to "[Close]" (from the default "<Ok/Close>") and that should work.

But thats way on the back of the phone when using the slide out keyboard.

Huh? Button 4 is the OK button on the front of the phone.

Sorry I thought you were referring to the OK button below the jog dial. My bad.

It's not, really. There are three "OK" buttons. One on the faceplate, one on the left-hand side, and one on the slide out keyboard. I've use the new version of Pocket Plus to map the one on the face plate to "OK" with a press and "Close" on a long press. The button hesh is referring to is the one on the face plate (under the "End" button).
Of course, this is the TyTN II layout, so the Tilt may be different. Key point - there is a way to do what you want with Pocket Plus - map a button (any one you like) to "[Close Button Context Menu]" which is a function that Pocket Plus will add for you (it won't exist without it installed).

still not helping...
i have also read about 150 pages worth of posts to no avail on this topic and would greatly appreciate a solution. i think that some of you are missing the question entirely though so im going to give a crack at presenting the question a little bit clearer.
What we are trying to do here is map a hardware button to whatever process it is that brings up the "HTC X-Button" menu. The specific menu we want is the drop down that appears when the upper right corner is tapped from the today screen. the thread i got the app from originally i cant seem to find for some reason, but heres a link to one i did find link. Heres a screen shot.

we do not want to know if there is another task switching application with these features such as the spb product or any others.
thanks in advance for any responses and hope this clears things up a bit.

dislexicmofo has it right. I was looking to call the program "HTC X-Button" from a button instead of a stylis tap. The "HTC X-Button" does not show up as an application, and I can not figure out how to call it directly by another means. I am guessing it may depend on the today screen being in the foreground, however, I would like it to come up without any regard to the foreground application.
FWIW, I finally gave up and installed InClose, as it shows up as a program under the Applications List.
As for SPB, I like their stuff, just not enough to pay for it and I have had many compability problems in the past (although that was several iterations ago),.
So even if SPB did provide this feature, I was looking for a freeware variation.

I tried to ask this same question in the "Latest Cabs for Kaisers" thread stickied at the top:
MAXPOW3R said:
i have installed HTC Task manager v2.00 (build 30740) from dutty's first post. (i can't seem to get the other one to install - which is fine). anyway, this task manager has a "quick menu" in the upper right hand corner of your today screen that you can click with your stylus and that lists all your running applications nicely. i would like to create a short-cut to this quick menu, but i'm not sure how to do it because it is just a part of the task manager program and not a program itself. Does anyone have any ideas? The reason I like this quick menu better than the list you get when you click on the task manager icon is because the list does not go away after you make a single selection. in other words, you can close out several programs from the list instead of having to bring the list back up after you close each application. any ideas?

I don't understand how people can live without this...
It's awful not having a hotkey to the tasklist...
Can this simple thing not be done ?
EDIT: AE Button plus has sorted things out for me

I remember a softkey app back in the wizard days. This closed the program by holding the right softkey down. Forgot what it was called.

Smartskey. I use it almost purely for that reason alone. Press and hold the right softkey and it closes the current app like tapping the X. Or press and hold the left softkey and it opens the Start Menu (which really isn't needed on the Kaiser since there is a Start menu button already, but then you could remap that if you wanted).

you're not going to be able to do that. AS someone else said it is depended upong the today screen being in the foreground. The intent of the original app wasn't to be a task switcher, but just a simple task manager to be able to close app from the tapping the X button. That was the original design of ver1. Ver2 brought the additional buttons and the overall look, but it's still not a task switcher and it's hooked into the OS to work only when the today is present.
I know you don't want to hear this but SPB PP4 is the app that will do what you want, and it was designed to do what you want from it's creation. Not only can you pull down the task list in any app (not just today screen) but you can also map the PPT button to their alt+tab switcher, which works just like windows alt+tab combo.
I like the look of the HTC one and the size of the buttons within it, by I find myself using PPC4 more and more...

ya, me neither - i found "VBar" which i mapped to a hardware button and which initializes the X button pulldown, wherein you can switch tasks, close apps, or close the vBar itself (which has a kinda cheesy image-but not bad for free!) haven't figured out how to program it yet? . . . but works right out of the box.

FWIW, I wound up using AEB+, which, strictly speaking is not necessasy for my original question, but it allows you to assign an app close vs an app hide to the press and hold of the OK key. So essentially is does the same thing as the Softskey and more.
I then installed InClose Mobile. You CAN map this to the hardware button and it will open regardless of whether you are on the today screen or not. If you try it, be sure to turn off the HTC button as it will cause a conflict.

VJOkButt allows you to simulate a click on the screen.
I have used it in conjunction with pBar (a better replacement for HTC Task manager) or you can just assign a shortcut to pBar to a hardware button. This was the easiest way for me.

Is there a way to map the front-face "OK" button (button 4, I believe) to close the opened application without using some kind of extra button mapper?
Using Contacts to make a phone call and then having to close the contacts program afterwards without simply pushing a button is really annoying. Remapping the OK button to close applications entirely would be nice.

Gyrator is a great app... with a load of functions but I found that I didn't really use any of them except the screen tilt/Gsensor function.
That said one of the problems I had with Gyrator is that it always stayed in my open apps which is not THAT big a deal, but would just annoy the crap out of my OCD brain!
Anyway I decided to make a different version for myself and anyone else who JUST wants the Screen tilt function.
This appliaction will:
- allow you to stop and start the screen switch as you please
- start up with your device if desired
- allow exceptions (Opera is an exception by default because it already uses the Gsensor)
* I recommend if you use Tomtom to add that in a well (to avoid the screen switching when you hit a bump!)
- NOT show up in the running programs list! (Most important thing to me!)
- You also do NOT need to install .NETCF 3.5 to use this. It should run fine on 2.0!
Version 2.5
Download changeScreen version v2.5 here!
Version 2.1 is still available if 2.5 doesn't work for some reason
Download changeScreen version v2.1 (2) here!
The BETA is still available if 2.1 doesn't work for some reason
Download changeScreen.cab v2.1 BETA here!
Version 1.54 is still available for those of you who like the older version better!
Download changeScreen.cab v1.54 here

how does it work with manilla...aka touchflo3d? one problem i had with gyrator was sometimes it'd rotate tf3d as well.

For the HomeScreen (manilla) it will only rotate if you turn your phone completely 180 degrees - it should not rotate to any landscape posistion.
If it acts funny in any sort of way let me know and ill fix it!

thx you verry much, the app works great.
i added manilla to the exeption list, but it still rotates the screen.
mybe i should use a nothername, i dont know, but i dont want manilla to rotate.
for the rest youre app rules

Weird... it works fine for me! Are you saying it will rotate to landscape mode while showing the touchflo desktop? (with the right or left side all distorted)
Anyone else have this issue?

no, that is not what i ment, sorry for the confusion.
i ment that i dont want it to rotate even in the 180 degrees rotation, i.o.w. upside down

I see... I guess its a matter of personal preference... Trying to duplicate your problem I saw a few minor issues in my code that I need to fix. I'll add in an option to not allow the exceptions to rotate to landscape OR 180 degrees. I'll post when all is fixed!

thx you.
excellent.

I have one problem as well, when you press the volume up or down button and rotate the screen 90 degrees, it will rotate the manila and will be distorted. how do I add an exception to the volume control? I typed volume and it did not work.

Sorry to burst your bubble, I like your app But it's the same as GSEN. and btw, you could always hide the gyrator process from the task manager (I always did that). Lol.

Anyway. GSEN is okay but I don't like the fact that it takes up 3 icons in the programs list! Also there have been a lot of complaints about it within these forums.
I developed changeScreen to suit my own needs, I just thought i'd put it out there for the other people who may want something different.
Bottom line if GSEN works for you use GSEN, if Gyrator works for you then use Gyrator. There is no use in switching if you don't have a problem with those two apps. changeScreen accomplishes the same thing, just in a slightly different (and I think more concise) way.
Kraize - thanks for the compliment none the less.

Awesome thank you

I'm probably being a total newb but I installed the cab and I got to your menu screen but my phone isn't rotating. Do I need anything else but this cab file?
Thanks

Run on startup
When I select run on startup and I hit save, it comes back with error creating shortcut. Any hints?
Thanks for a very nice and fast app.

Nice app simple and to the point.
Thank you.

HTC Task Manager for all programs?

Good day,
I've been fiddling around with my new FUZE, and I really like using the HTC Task Manager to switch between programs while I multitask. The question is, is there a way to enable it so the Task Manager icon replaces the typical "X" that shows up for running programs?
From what I know if it now, the only way to access the menu is to go to the Today screen. So basically, every time I want to switch to a different program, I have to press the Home button and access the Task Manager from there. It's quite annoying, and I want to see if it's possible to switch between programs using the Task Manager without having to go to the Today screen.
I also know that some windows show "ok" instead of the typical X, usually for editing settings for certain things. I don't want the Task Manager to replace the "ok"s, just the "X"s, since most of the time you have to click the "ok"s to save whatever settings you've set in that window.
Thanks in advance!

You might want to check out gscroll (mobilesrc.com). It allows you to switch between apps without going back to the today screen. A horizontal swipe (left to right) across the top of the capacitative pad brings up a little pop-up that shows all the live apps running. You have to be quick (hopefully they fix that), but if you tap the icon you want to go to, that app is then brought up. Otherwise, swiping switches between the last two apps used.

Interesting. So what you're saying is that it's currently not possible to set the default behavior of HTC's Task Manager to show outside of the Today screen? A friend of mine has pointed me to another program called WkTask, and it functions as a program launcher as well as a task manager, no matter what program you're running. It's freeware, so I'm going to give it a shot.

No, I'm not saying that; I actually have no clue if you can get the task manager to appear like you want it to. You may well be able to do it. All I know is that for 5 bucks, you can accomplish the same function using gscroll. It's actually easier, because clicking on the quick menu icon takes a bit of concentration (it's real easy to miss and hit whatever's next to or below it instead). The swipe across the capacitative pad (above the d-pad button) is pretty fool-proof, once you get used to it. Plus, it's kind of cool. You can also use gscroll as a program launcher (up to 4 pre-set programs), fwiw.
WkTask may be the ticket for you, though. I've never used it myself.

Or maybe install program QuickMenu (freeware): http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-quickmenu-v2-7.html

I've tried Wisbar, QuickMenu, and gScroll and found them buggy on the Fuze. Wisbar will do what you want but mucks up TF3D. QuickMenu showed potential but cluttered the StartMenu. I couldn't figure out to get gScroll to work right but then I'm stupid.

actually, can someone tell me which file corresponds to the large task manager that comes up when u hit the top right? ive been trying to find it so i can map it in wisbar? thanks in advance

You mean the quick menu? I think this is what you want (just the cab name):
HTC_TASK_MANAGER_2_1_34563_3R.CAB

yep, the actual quick menu. but, i dont see the htctaskmanager. i see taskmanager.exe and taskmanagerapplite.exe. but, neither one of those is the actual quick menu. let me check again it is in windows correct?

Look up "Alt+Tab"... a little program that performs an ALT+Tab command on a Windows PC.
Here are several that I've used in the past.

I'd recommend giving Quickmenu 2.8 another chance. Once you run once it automatically starts on soft reset and its very customizable. I'll just run down the list of things I change from initial install and I end up with only 5 choices when the start menu pops down. It show very small and the 5 choices are "Running Tasks, QuickMenu, Recent, Programs, Settings" they all show as a pop-out menu so its very aesthetically pleasing. OK... here's how its done.
Start --> QuickMenu --> Option...
Options screen pops up --> Here's some screen shots of the choices I use. All menu view items have check in show as sub menu (that makes it a pop-out menu instead of listing in start). No need to move checked items up, only did because they wouldnt show in screenshot otherwise. Other tabs can be left stock or customized to suite you.
Hope that helps.
Also HUGE shout out to EVERYONE on this forum who helps us all have the baddest phones available!!!

i use quickmenu.
migh tgive gscroll a try.

So basically, people are recommending Quickmenu most of all. Personally, I found it to be one of the more practical apps to use, since I love how it doubles as a task manager as well as a start menu replacement. It's great not having to open up a separate window to access my programs.
I've also tried using WkTask, but it's quirky and doesn't work in ways I like it to.

I reassigned Long Send
to the WM6 taskmanager to do what you want to do.

i also want this, how to replace the "X" with the task manager or just put task manager in all apps, regards!

How did you do it?

so that the quick menu pops up when in applications?
It's bugged me for ages but only started looking for solutions today...
Cheers.

I have asked this before,even in the mort script thread.
Dont think it possible yet my friend,
there are loads of other task managers that pop up in all programs or by the remap of a key.Just have to search for which suits you.
I havent found one that suits me completely ( Guess am fussy )
Touch Commanders one is of my faves but is so buggy,Showcase is ok too.

Pending what ROM you use guys long press SEND (not END) will pop up a task manager, right softkey "switch to" ... done. No harm no foul just as easy as I wrote.
SEND is the "phone button" bottom left in case you don't know or remember.

Hi there, dont know if you are still looking for a solution but try installing htc task manager, after that you should be able to bring up task manager by holding down the answer key until it pops up, cheers

Tool: Using Capacitive Area to Define button press action

Hey XDAyers, was wondering if somebody would be kind enough to develop this useful tool.
Purpose:
Making the left and right navigation buttons easier, actually usable, since now they are currently useless due to impractical key pressing.
How:
The tool would actually disable all kinds of hardware response, and whatever physical button is pressed the action is defined by the program. Using both the physical button press in addition to your finger location on the capacitive area to define the action to be taken.
In other words, all the buttons that get pressed are useless/actionless without the capacitive area actually saying the coordinates of your finger. With that, if i press the capacitive area anywhere, even the home button while my finger was anywhere except the absolute top absolute left corner, the action would be left! Check the photos below to have a better picture of what i mean.

No replies? only poll clicking? Come on people, this could be the best thing to ever happen for the touch pro, we finally use left and right buttons. Start talking, give me your ideas, and please inform the Devs. you know about this, maybe one of them would actually implement it.

There's already something like this, it's called gscroll. However, it costs $9.

I own gscroll mate, but no its nothing like what am describing above
Gscroll does not use the physical buttons at all, its all about the capacitive area and so on. What am suggesting is using the hardware buttons for TAKE ACTION and the Action is defined on where your finger was on the capacitive area
BTW, about gscroll, do you know how can i disable the programs launcher so as to use the directions only?
The programs launcher is annoying and pops up a lot when all i want is to scroll/up down left right
Cheers

I agree with you in that this would be a very good tweak, since learning the supposed "sweet spot" for left/right keys is quite impractical while using the corners is much more intuitive...
I can only hope this gets developed!
Best regards and thanks!

yup
I love the idea. Both Gscroll and Sensor scroll have attmpted to make this work using only the capacitive area. Your method relies on the hardware buttons as well. I really hope someone can make this work.
For most uses of the phone I can make-do with it, but gaming is awful! Also, neither of the programs work with all games. Morphgear and some other older games I have dont read any input from the capacitive area. However, they do read the hard keys, making this a "possible" solution.
Unfortunately, my optimism for being able to ever do some serious gaming on this phone has faded. I wish I still had my Tilt

I love the idea. Both Gscroll and Sensor scroll have attmpted to make this work using only the capacitive area. Your method relies on the hardware buttons as well. I really hope someone can make this work.
For most uses of the phone I can make-do with it, but gaming is awful! Also, neither of the programs work with all games. Morphgear and some other older games I have dont read any input from the capacitive area. However, they do read the hard keys, making this a "possible" solution.

Why do you say so bro, i have the exact same feeling like you towards both programs, but am still optimistic about gaming on ma touch pro, if the tool above gets programmed, somehow, i believe it WILL solve all our problems
But who's the dev who can do this? Cannot find him yet! if only a dev can give me the commends or classes that talk to the capacitive are and hardware button, i would develop the tool myself, but i need a looot of work in the beginning

Well, well, well, you have renewed my wishy-washy hope again my friend!
But consider this - I guess I say this because of my current setup to make morphgear as usable as possible. I am running dred sensor, and set the home/call keys to left. This means that if i press any of the left/home/call it should press left. But it just does not respond as well as it needs to.
Don't worry though, I will keep the faith. And if you get it to work, you better have a donate button ready!
Thanks, and best of luck!

Thanks bro Wish you can tel me how to do the donate button, or it is simply a link to a paypal account somehow. Anyways, once i get it done, one way or another, as for the above way (dred) sensor, never tried it, but from what i understand, it disables the home and back keys, both keys are actually useful, so nope.
Hope the tool above gets developed by me or sm1 else, coz i believe it should work. Cheers mate

actually, with dredsensor it not only disables the buttons, but allows them to be set to any action, i.e. right or left. So I am having a hard time seeing that your method will make much difference. I think the root of the problem is where the hard keys are located. Referring to the "sweet spot" you will notice that the left and right buttons are quite wider than up/down. This makes it difficult to get diagonal button presses, because of the circle in the center of the pad is what you feel, and the buttons are inequally spaced.
Anyways, I hope you can make it work. Thanks again bro!

Well, the difference between dred and this imaginary tool hehe, is that dred actually changes the action key of the home button completely, in my proposed idea, you can still have a home back left and right dial and hangup buttons, depending on where your finger is located on the capacitive area, and all physical buttons are set to the action "Click"
Wish it works

i think it would be awesome to take this a step further and have it run in Opera like a trackpad. Maybe use the capacitive are as a mouse and have a click on the center hardware key make a selection. Kind of like the web browser in the Blackberry Storm

BTW, about gscroll, do you know how can i disable the programs launcher so as to use the directions only?
The programs launcher is annoying and pops up a lot when all i want is to scroll/up down left right

I believe this should work
Start / Settings/ Mobile Src GScroll
Go to the launch tab, and delete all the apps listed.

This issue is being dealt with on the forum, a new beta has been released with per process app launch.
Let's try not to hijack this thread, since gscroll has its own threads, and own forum. Thanks.

Your reply forced me to go back and read what was asked...so I must edit my original reply to say delete EVERYTHING under the launcher...not just the appswitch.

While I would agree with this, I'm pretty sure that my reply doesn't qualify as thread hijacking when the OP is the one who originally posted the question.

Thanx for your reply guys, actually i thank you both for your replies and no i don't find it hijacking. I thank you both for every post you did here I just hope i either find someone to develop the tool am talking about OR i manage somehow to find the resources i need to build it myself
Cheers mates

if anyone experienced with customizing the tp can tell me the tools i would need to do this i might be able to start writing a program. ive made computer appps before so im sure i can figure out ppc

[NhatHoa Roms][FRE/GER/ITA/NLD/PTG/SPA/WWE][29020][Sense 2.5.2021][03May]Stop working

Hi guys, in this thread I will share and update my multilang Roms for HTC Rhodium. They are very simple like stock Roms, there is no third party application.
Only cook with build 6.5.x - 29xxx with start button at the left bottom corner.
Available language FRE-GER-ITA-NLD-PTG-SPA-WWE
Please read the Supporting section before update my lastest Roms.​

- Allmost packge from Leo 3.14.
- Youtube and HTC player high quality work fine.
- Dialer is from HTC Rhodium 2.07 with video call and conference function.
- Pagepool 16Mb.
Before download and update Rom, please make sure your device already hard spl.​
====================​DOWNLOAD: HERE​====================​

Supporting.
Please check Addon folder in my sharing folder in download link, you will find some small necessary applications compatible with my Roms.
They are more improved my Roms work more stable.​
- When you are in incoming call, the display doesnt turn off when the phone reach your ear. To fix, install the cab file with name Sensor_SDK.cab. I will not this issue for the next release.
- When you are using version released date 21thApril. As you know, the people manager in sense 2.5 will works fine with HTC Messaging Client. But in my Roms, the HTC Messaging Client is excluded, so the people manager will get an issue with message section. Such as in the first times after update Rom or hardreset, if you want to send an message, there are 2 methods to send a message. One tap new in Message Tab, it will works ok - no problem. Two: go to people manager, tab the message section, the sreen will be blank, so this is an issue that I talk about. But when you recieved a message or have old message after restored from backup, then open message from Message Tab of Sense, it will bring you to message section in people manager and you are in manila 2.1 Messaging instead of blank. From now, that issue will go away forever. And you dont need to worry about that issue when using HTC Messaging Client, you can get it in the attatchment. Sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what I talk about.
- If you want to disable RSS Hub in Home Tab, pls install the cab file with name: DisableRSSHome.cab

- For Dutch users, please install cab file MoreLangEzinput.cab to get Dutch ezinput.
- To add footprints + Document Tab + Facebook tab into version 03May, go to my sharing Addon folder to get it. Note that, Document tab in this cab file still not support for PTG Rom.

do you have a bluetooth device, i found i can't pairing with my bluetooth devices.
i'm still trying to connect but it said no devices found, i'm already turn on my bluettoth device. hmm...should i install more cab for supproting A2DP Profile?

Great job with the Rom chef. I have been using it since yesterday and I have not encountered any issues whatsoever. Everything runs smooth and quick and it seems very stable. I don't know if it's my imagination but it also seems like the home screen is very sharp. Thank you for all of your hard work and for releasing this to us.

Thanks for your help, i really appreciate it!...it is FIX now, it is not because the ROM, it is because of the last setting paired in my last ROM, so i figured it out by resetting my bluetooth devices and try to pair with these new ROM.
And now it works like charm...thank you...i am so happy to use your ROM!

You should really give a name to this awesome rom, what about "Demonspeed Series"?

I'm trying to locate the settings for the lockscreen. What am looking to do is set it so that when I turn off the screen, that it locks. I have pretty much looked everywhere twice but can't seem to find it. Any Idea where I should go for this? thanks.

Downloading now.

Hi there,
With my knowledge, there is still no application or tweak to make our TP2 lock when press power button correctly without set lock password. However, I would like to provide u an application that you can lock and turn off screen by run it.
Look at the attachment, after install, you should add a quick shortcut in home screen an application with name Lock. Now, you only tap that quick shortcut Lock on home screen, your TP2 will turn off and lock instead of press power button --> your power button will say thanks to you because you no need to press it to turn off.
Update: Another application allow us press power button to lock. Lock.cab

CHT has a setting to enable screen lock upon standby. The Energy roms have a locking application in them that enables this as well.

what's the ram usage on this rom with the start menu on the bottom version?

Doublen1 knew exactly what I was referring to. I didn't realize the feature I was looking for was only available on CHT or Energy roms. The file you provided however, does the trick. It is very quick and doesn't seem to utilize any more ram than without. Thank you both for your help with this. Locking the phone was the only think I was not satisfied with. Now the whole experience with the rom is superb. Thanks again to the both of you.

I tend to have about 65 mb or ram free on average. I also have cleanram on a schedule to run every 3 hours at level 3. Even before I had cleanram on a schedule, it did pretty good. The interface feels very responsive and smooth overall. I highly suggest you give it a shot.

Nice to see a new chef pop up in here. Once you get a name for the ROM, let me know, so I can add it to the ROM repository. I might even write up a review of it soon.
