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.

Hold camera button?

After I installed mobile pocket plus I was able to bind holding the camera button to something... does anyone know of anyway to do this without having to install pocket plus?
I like to bind the touch dual HTC album to holding the camera button, because it makes sense to bind it to that button.

Go to Settings/Buttons and then remap your keys as you like. To remap the Calendar and Contact buttons at the bottom of your screen you can use something called Softkeys.

I'm talking about creating new buttons to map in the Settings->Buttons dialog... like holding camera button which is only there if you install spb mobile pocket plus 4.0
I was just looking for maybe a reg edit when I started this thread
Also... I can't find a free version of AEButton Plus. Searching for remapping keys yields too many results of people wanting to remap the soft keys on the today screen. Could you suggest something more specific? (besides AEButton Plus, and that's free)
Edit: I found this which is close... but I can't find the first piece he talks about in my registry...

lost my camera button

I know i need to use the search button and i did. installed igo8 gps software and now i lost the camera button. I press the camera button and the gps software comes up. i looked into the "buttons setting" and it won't call up there to assign it back to camera. read somewhere to link the camera.exe from windows, but i can't figure out how to *.lnk a file. any help will be appreciated!!

I got the same problem, and also iGO8 ! So you narrowed it down to that causing the button to disappear? Hmmmm, by me the button does absolutely nothing! Hope someone knows how to solve this problem....
Keep me posted!

We must be asking a question that absolutely no one here on XDA can answer!!!! Have me managed to baffle their minds???

on my kaiser (details in my signature) button 5 has the camera assigned to it.

Does Camera show up more than 1 time in Settings -> Buttons? If so, try them all until one sticks.
You can also edit the registry to point Button 5 back to the camera. I don't have the keys in front of me, but if nobody posts them before I get home, I will.

Hi:
I too am having this problem. I have searched and searched, but can't find the settings for button 5. When I look at reg it seems to be pointing to GPS (I too use iGo). Correct camera settings would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind. Even though settings...buttons doesn't show button 5 (instead it says GPS), If I map GPS (in buttons) to camera that seemed to work.

How to remove panels totally

So this is a question.
I don't use them, I don't want them, I don't need them.
How to remove them totally so that I have again control on the button and that I can assign something else to it?
I would like to do this w/o flashing another rom or recooking of some existing one.
So far I was able to do small workaround so that button for them only shows small error message, but doesn't show them.
Tnx for help

You can assign the button to any other .exe, use seach its found here. Best way to get rid of panels s to flash a lite rom.

You can, just create a new button on AEButton Plus, also remember to turn off the SE Illumination notification on the button.

When I press add button in AEB it doesn't detect it, HEX value for it is 0000, other buttons work.
On previous itje versions of rom w/o pannels I could map that key to something else w/o problems, but not on the latest ones with pannels.

Tnx, this was exactly what I was looking for, but AEB still cannot find and recognize key.

I have absolutely no idea what you could do else.
Be sure to:
- Delete the whole registry key HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager
- Delete *both* Startup shortcuts "panelmanager.lnk" and "Paneldefault.exe"
- Soft-reset
- Assign button in AEBPlus (I use version 2.6.5)
- Soft-reset
[edit] I use stock ROM version R2, so maybe thats the problem.
