is there a button hold option for Camera Key?

I searched forever and could not find exactly what I'm looking for here.
What I want to know is if there is a registry entry that can be made to enable button(hold) options for other buttons in the settings>buttons options.
Basicly I want to be able to hold the camera button and have Cool Camera launch and the regular camera launch on button press but i don't want to install additional software to make this happen.

Try Smartskey http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256525. If you are using a "cooked" ROM you may already have it installed. Otherwise, Start>Settings>Buttons: pick one you don't use and reassign it.

Try DoubleLauncher from Orthanc: http://orthancsoftware.com/products_doublelauncher.htm
Lets you assign press, press/hold, double press, and triple press. I think that's what you want...

I think this is what i am looking or if the only solution is 3rd party software. Thanks.
But if anyone knows how to do this without additional software that would be better. maybe some sort of registry entry that enables other options?

Wow tried double launcher and the thing wouldn't uninstall fully after the trial expired and made all my hardware buttons useless. Had to hard reset and restore.

ae button plus
maybe a program called ae button plus would help you? it's not free though, but it seemed to work ok, when i had tried the software in the past...

PQzII is free and I never had a single problem with it.

Wow! been on this forum for a while now never heard of this! This program is great! Thanks!!!
Oh one question whats the difference between the wizard version and the WM 2005 version? This is where I found the download
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm

@dragonedge: You need to download the wizard version. There was some compatibility issue with wizard (don't remember what it was but its listed on nique's site as well as on xda-developers thread for pqz, i think the thread is in the universal forums..) due to which he made a separate version for the wizard..

Thanks Shantz, will do.

Reassign the side OK button on Tilt?

Hi,
I've successfully re-mapped the PTT button by following the instructions from this forum. I imagine the same procedure would apply to the small OK button immediately below the jog-wheel, but I don't know where to start. Of course, the button is not present in the Settings/Buttons applet - that would have been too easy.
First, how to disassociate it from its present function (Start Menu/OK)? And once disassociated, what is the button code to enter in the registry?
I tried aebplus, and it sort of works - but the start menu still comes up on the first keypress if invoked in the Today screen.
Any ideas on how to re-map this otherwise useless key?
Thanks,
Mike.

You sound like a jerk for posting that I did not search when the reply prior to mine was 6 months ago.
Did you even read the thread? None of the links you posted had instructions/advice on how to remap the side "ok" button.

yes i was about to say. non of them have steps or even telling you anything related to how to get it.
all it says is people trying it matter and they failed.
if there was no solutiion you should have just said no solution, it would have saved you time searching all that and also us bashing you

the 4th link does have some good information, lemme just quote from it
Bellfazar said:
The side "ok" button is a tough one because it has multiple functions. In programs, explorer windows, and settings it acts as an OK button but when you're at the today screen it acts as a Start Menu button. I kinda get the feeling we're not going to be able to change this for a while. Not until someone releases a keymapper specifically for the Kaiser.

even with the 8525 nobody has been able to re-map the ok button...it's still the biggest mystery, hehe....but now that they eliminated one button on the Tilt we really do need the ability to remap the ok button now...

It's really easy with help of AE Button Plus.
You can pretty much map any hardware key on your device with this great app.
I have it setup to be able to copy and paste by using the sliding keyboard and pressing Window Key + C to copy and Window Key + V to paste among other cool shortcuts.
Cheers!

Thanks Rayan. I downloaded the AE Button Plus program for my AT&T Tilt, and it is working fantastic for remapping buttons. I was able to remap the side OK button to lock my phone by holding it for a few seconds. I love the way it also lets you leave the button with its default setting for one press, but create other actions for multiple presses.
By the way, the phone locking works fantastic. It allows me to answer calls, but doesn't activate any of the other phone functions until I unlock the phone. That's perfect for carrying the phone in my pocket. Also, incoming notifications don't unlock the phone, so that I won't accidentally turn-on a bunch of applications while the phone is in my pocket. The unlocking action is very simple.
I've also mapped volume up and down to a long press of the soft keys. That alleviates the need to use the stylus to select the volume button. Great.
The AE Button Plus program was what I've needed all along to customize my phone. It would've saved me a lot of time.
One other note, I downloaded the 2.6.3 version of the program, rather than the freeware version, but I haven't gotten any info on the cost. I may be disappointed in the near future if this program automatically deactivates. Do you know if I should expect a disappointment? I would pay for this program, but I'm not sure how much it's worth to me, but I saw no information on the cost. Do you know?

AFAIK there is only one version, if you want the registered version you buy a license and there's a procedure to activate it, otherwise it uses the free version with a couple features disabled and a nagscreen once in a while.

How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!

I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in

Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

wow, thank you very much mtiberio!
your link really hit the spot!

Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.

i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

You will need to reset your device for it to show up in your programs list.

Changing end key behaviour

With the rom I'm using at the moment pressing the end key terminates data connection while with all roms I have used previously it took me to the today screen. I've tried to find an alternate solution to get to today quickly but no luck. Is possible to alter this?

on some ROMs, you can double-press the Start Menu hardware key to return to the today screen...see if that works as a quick workaround for your purposes.

Advanced Config has the option to change keymap, under menu\more settings
Not sure if you mean pressing or holding?

Actually I wouldn't mind either pressing or holding so your idea could work if I only knew the a shortcut that takes me to the today screen.

I'm not sure but i'm sure someone else will know as the short press to home still has to invoke some file?

Well, I didn't find an answer to my original question but managed to map the today screen to a hardware button...

How to make the dialer doesn't appear after a call

Hi,
I don't think my question is specific to a rom or a dialer.
I don't want the dialer appears after a call.
I would like to reach the home screen directly without the 5 seconds dialer transition.
Is it possible with a registry tweak or something else please ?
Thanks for all.

This is not a problem for nobody this dialer after a call ?
To be always forced to click on the cross or a hard button to reach the home screen ?
Please tell me a solution if you know it.

I would also like to know if a tweak like this exists...
I'll try to find a way but anyone knowing this is welcome....

Try this registry setting you must create:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallProgressIdleTimeout"=dword:00000000

Just push the Home button after the end button is pressed, you wont wait 5 seconds.

Unfortunally this tweak doesn't work, even after a soft reset.
Did it work for you and with which device and rom ?

My device is diamond and I use nataly 2.7, it works...
Another way:You can install advanced config and you can find in phone tab..

I have to revive this thread cause I am really interested in a tweak like this...
I've tried everything in Advanced Configuration and in Diamond Tweak but there is no tweak for this...
Does anyone know a tweak?

I think it's impossible.
I tried all the tweaks.
