Remapping hardware buttons

There are several applications which allows you to remap buttons (AE Button Plus, HButton...). If you dont need more than 6-8 shortcuts you should be fine with this. (I prefer this remapping solution because it doesnt require to keep some program running in RAM)
These shortcuts are basically generic but here's what I've found and tested on Wings.
Code:
Shortcut Current App. Remapping
Long_POC.lnk - OK
Long_End.lnk Lock Not tested
Long_Home.lnk - OK
Long_Send.lnk - OK
Short_POC.lnk CommManager OK
Long_Power.lnk Turn Off OK
Long_Pound.lnk Line Switch ???
Long_VolUp.lnk Voice Dial. OK
Long_Camera.lnk Camera OK
Short_Power.lnk Quick App. OK
Short_Camera.lnk Camera OK
Long_VolDown.lnk Voice Notes OK
Long_NonCamera.lnk ??? ???
Short_NonCamera.lnk ??? ???
(NonCamera = POC on some devices. I dont know why is it on Wings but probably because of generic WM keypad map.)
Code:
Key Name Hardware Button
POC CommManager
End End Call
Home Home
Send Send Call
Power Turn On/Off
VolUp Volume Up/+
Camera Camera
VolDown Volume Down/-
How to use...
1. Create a shortcut of a program
2. Rename the shortcut to the shortcut name of a key you want to asign to (TaskManager.lnk to Long_Home.lnk for example)
3. Copy it to \Windows\ directory

Wow! Awesome! Thanks for shedding light on this!
Tested short_power.lnk successfully.
[ADDITION]
IE button: is PIE.lnk + Short_IE.lnk.

About
If you need turn on WiFi, you have to press at least 4 keys by default to start WiFi (using Comm Manager).
After installation of WirelessToggle, just press and hold Comm Manager button to toggle Wifi (on/off). (Alternatively you can use attached exe and assign WirelessToggle to any button / shortcut you want to).
And as always: There are few more programs that can be used for faster turning on/off WiFi but this keeps the RAM free as much as possible.
Installation:
WirelessToggle.cab - just install
Run WirelessToggle.exe (from \Program Files\smartmadsoft\WirelessToggle) manually (just once) before using the shortcut (otherwise you wont be able to confirm dialog window asking you about running unsigned code)
Download:
WirelessToggle.zip (4 kB)
Support:
Tested only on S730 but it should work on other devices as well (will test it later).

Great work moneytoo!
This is real usefull, thanks for sharing!

does anyone know the WM6.1 connection manager (wireless manager in home screen) file name?
wireless toggle doesn't work for me (wm6.1) it removes all wireless settings from the WM comm manager, and swiches wireless off right after I've enabled it.

i need to look into this, whether it will work on a diamond, cause it's hardware button associations are plain stupid...

What did you find out?
Does it work on your Diamond?

i right clicked on psshutxp.exe and selected create a shortcut.. i renamed file to Long_Power.lnk .. dropped in my windows folder and reset my htc touch pro (cdma) ,,, never asked if i wanted to overwrite anything ...
now when i press down my power button... the same default action happens... it is not running psshutxp....

Remapping headset button?
I'd like to bounce an idea and see if your solution might work for this specific issue.
Seems like the headphone button = green answer button on newer htc systems. If I press the headhpone button twice - I'd like to jump one track forward. Press it three times, I'd like to jump one track back again. Would this be possible to map somehow? That is, multiple key inputs?
Regards.

Has anyone here found a solution for the touch diamond?

I know that this is the Wings forum but nevertheless I would like to know if anybody has found a similar mapping functionality for the HD2... I tested several shortcuts but only long_send.ink seems to work.

For Multibuttonmappingwhatsoever I can recommend HButton as it allows to activate different things depending on how long you press the button. Remapping doesnt really work for me after all, nothing happens..

Hi, I want to remmap Home Button in HTC HD2(Leo). But when I search the link, I can't find anything that mention about home.
Any suggestion? Thx..

Oooopss.. Sorry, wrong thread.
I'm just too desperate.

For the HD2 unfortunately only the long_send button seems to work. I tested the others mentioned on the first page of this thread but they did not work - at least not by using shortcuts or reg keys (but I did not test any special software as HButton).

EndKey+Long Press has been assigned to HTC EndKey :)

Hello All,
I was cooking my personal rom , and I spend some time on HTC EndKey. I finally figured how to assign the End Key+long press (The red buuton on your device) to HTC EndKey (HTC Application) All I had to do is create a link file Long_End.lnk and assigned it to EndKey.exe
The attached cab file is HTC EndKey. After installing the cab, keep pressing the end key for 2 to 3 second to run the HTC Endkey(1_0_30736_1).
Have fun

EndKey is already installed on Dutty's ROM
can we use this instead? where do you put that link file?
Edit: Found my answer, just create the link in \Windows. Works great. Thanks !

What does this program do?

Great work! Can't believe that it was so easy!
I saw that DeviceLockSetting (to auto lock screen after backlight timeout or turning screen off) is included in this CAB, have anyone tried to make it working?

Do you guys know if it is possible to do something like this with other keys?
Like the call key?
I don't understand my HTC removed the Comm Manager button on the tytn ii, it was great, especially to do stuff like vibrating mode..
miss it greatly

i reassigned my PTT button to comm manager and if hold down 2sec to vibrate mode..

Nice work, hma4!!!
I also have a push and hold of the PTT button mapped to VibraSwitch. And I have a push and hold of the End Key lock the device (simple registry edit).
For me personally, the best solution would be if I could hold the PTT button to have the phone switch to vibrate AND lock- all in one action.

That what i did to mine. But i had to install Vibra Switch because i couldn't find the EndKey command on the button menu.

Actually, I think it would be better to have a press and hold of the end key do this.
It looks like HTC EndKey could be set to perform a lock or set to vibrate, but can it do BOTH with one push?

Here's a twist for you users of S2U2. You should be able to just change the path in the shortcut (.lnk file) and point it to S2u2.exe.
The result would be Long End Key Press = Envoke S2U2 screen.
very cool!

You rock, asfoor!

Re-map Power Button?

Anyone know how to remap the power button to long key press program that allows a handfull of options? Schaps has done this with his newest 4.1 rom but i want it on dutty's v1.1 rom i keep flashing back to. I have the long key press button but it needs to be assigned to the power button. Anyone know how? Thanks!

Bump for some input.

Um?
So 136 views and no replies? Does this mean theres no possible way to remap the power button on the side of our phones?

Maybe people are just hoping you'll give in and try a search?

I always search before posting and yes i did read this thread u gave the link for before i started this thread. I already have the end key set and if u read my post and the link u provided u will see it does not answer my question. im again looking for the end key program schaps cooked into his newest 4.31 rom for the power button. the link u provided talks about the end key or red
phone symbol button. im looking for the program schaps uses when u hold down the power button which im sure u know is on the top right side of the tilt phone with a picture of a circle and a line through it all in red. the end key program schaps uses allows the user to hold down the power button like they would to power down their device but instead of the tacky looking yes or no window that pops up, a different end key screen pops up asking if u want to power down, soft reset, suspend screen, etc. this is a nice feature i am looking to add to the current rom i am using. if youve tried schaps 4.31 rom im sure youll know what im talking about. thanks!

He said (I think) he'd release it as a cab (along wtih this advanced config 2.0) at some point.. so if he hasn't announced yet I don't think it's out, unless you check around that rom thread of his, someone mgiht have made a cab for it but not put it out for download yet.

Oh

Well if u or anyone else comes across this cab file it would be much appreciated! i love his new advanced config. 2.0, very clean. i thought the power end key program schaps uses on his 4.31 rom was out, i didnt know it wasnt released yet. his advanced config 2.0 should be out soon cus dutty said hes gonna have itcooked into his new v4 rom coming out round tuesday! maybe this power end key program will be out then or better yet cooked into dutty's v4 rom? that would be perfect! until then, if anyone has a cab for this power button end key program schaps uses in his 4.31 rom please post the cab. thanks everyone!

The only way I know of is to use AE Button Plus. It will allow you to remap many things such as volume slider, jog wheel, power button, etc...
If you're interested in a beta I have a limited number.

Not totally sure what you mean when you say "long key press program that allows a handfull of options", but I will take a crack at it.
If you are referring to the EndKey application that allows you to turn on flight mode, switch to vibrate, etc... and you want to assign that app to a long press of the power button then do the following:
There should be a shortcut for EndKey application in your \windows\startmenu\programs folder. Copy that shortcut and rename it to "Long_Power.lnk", move the new shortcut into the \windows directory, then test. You may need to reboot if it doesn't work right away.
Here is where I found that info

I would be interested in trying out the beta. From what I've read on various sites, this program seems to be exactly what I am looking for to remap several buttons on my Tilt.

Another way...Take the shortcut you want to assign to the power button & rename it Short_Power.lnk (for standard push) or Long_Power.lnk (push & hold) & then moove the .lnk to the windows folder. It will work immediately.

any word of the cab being released yet?

well, doesn't seem to work in 6.5/ Vogue ("touch")

If you link to the program/package/cab you want to link up to power button I probobly can make a cab for you.

This may help.
To just wake up the device without pressing Power, Start > Settings > System > Key Lock, & select "Do not lock buttons."
You may now use any button to simply wake it up.

Hard buttons assignment

Hello,
Could you confirm that only the "Call" (hold) button can be customized ? (via the out of the box settings, buttons)
Did somebody manage to customize the "OK" button (hold) ? that would work from any application ?
Thanks

With my firmware the only available button I have on the list is the call button (Button 1).
The second button is hardcoded to lock phone.
And there is not way to associate anything to any other button.
C'mon HTC, this is SICK!

The second button can be assigned other functions like Data connection termination, airplane mode etc

It works, but you can't customize the new Back Key.

How about Hbutton? It works great on my Diamond and you can assign different programs to the Call ( hold) button at the same time.

That's funny because I just did.
I set the "OK key" (in AEBPlus) this way:
1: Close active application
Long: "Coreplayer"
Now that dreaded back key actually closes the running program!

On the MDA compact 4 you cant even configure the call button!

I'm using Spb Pocket plus 4.02 TF3D and the taskmanager turned off
(using SPB Shell)
OK button = close
I think it's better then AE button plus, it doesn't support ok/close together.
So with SPB pocket plus you can make an appointment and push the back button to save and close the appointment

It works but with some bugs. No problem al all when TF 3D is not active as today plugin, you can configure every hard button to whatever behaviour you like. But when TF active strange things happen:
Red (hang) button, enter (circled one) and volume buttons always work in simple, double, triple and hold pressing.
Home button and return only work when you are not in home screen or if an app has been launched. Also they work if you are in home screen but after pressing start and the menu is showed.
Weird, don't you think?

The best thing for MDA Compact IV is to reassign the 2nd Softbutton in the registry to VoiceCommand, make your own HButtons for WiFi-toggle e.g. and rename them.

[APP]psShutXP Fuze/Touch Pro - Replaces Long-Press Power Key

First I would like to state that none of the graphics in this cab file are my work. I don't know who made them but it wasn't me. Also, I am not the developer of psShutXP.
What I did was fix psShutXP so that it replaces the Long-Press Power Key. Instead of having a lame, white "Do you want to shut down" window that pops up when you hold the power button, you will have a nicely skinned psShutXP window that gives you the options to turn off the display, power off the device, reboot the device, hard reset the device, and even gives you the options to set reboot schedules.
Note that ALL functions are working in this cab that I put together including Shut Down.
I made 2 cab files. One for the Fuze and one for the Touch Pro.
Screenshots:

Very neat app. it matches my black theme.

not questioning, but wondering what the diff is with this one and the cab from the diamond forum for psshutxp that works on our fuze's to map it to longpress power key?

I just override the original .exe file with renamed psShutXP.exe and put the skin in the same directory, works like a charm
//Edit
From what I can see, your CAB does exactly the same thing .

if you look closely you will see that the themes are slightly different. The diamond one i posted in the diamond forum says diamond, the TP one says power options, the fuze one says fuze. not huge differences but differences non the less.

Lol nope. Just the themes. This cab file is actually the best way to go IMO because it offers the Shut Down capabilities of PowerOffWarning.exe with the added looks and functionality of psShutXP.

Wow, I did the exact same thing about a month ago on my TP ROM. Used the same skin too but slightly modified.
Did you just renamed PsShut or did you do something differnt? I havent had a chance to look yet at the cabs. For my cab's I renamed PsShut to Poweroff warning.exe or whatever. I then made it into kitchen selections. If anyone is interested I can upload them when I get home.

One of the best apps I've found. Thanks for your work.

If you look closely at the cab files you will see that this does not just rename psshutxp.exe to PowerOffWarning.exe. It actually contains both exes but in a working combination so that the power off function actually works.

perfect reset tool for me
That's exactly what I've been looking for, with the perfect skin for my Touch Pro (resp. T-Mobile MDA Vario IV), thanks for your good work!
Just a remark: on my device it installed to the Windows directory and did not create a link e.g. in startmenu/programs, made that manually since I like the additional possibility of resetting without need of using hardware buttons, could be a further improvement.
The basic psshutXP from developpers web site did that, maybe it's also a good idea to leave the link to that site here:
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/index.htm
There you'll also find additional skins, though these black HTC adapted skins from above are perfect.

so... psshutxp "shutdown" function of this cab... really power off the device or just send it to stan by? its works for QVGA?

Thanks for the utility. I think it is very useful.
Question - after installing, it places itself into the System Tray in the Today's screen. Is there anyway of removing it - afterall, using this utility is already so easy via the power button.

Hello wolframio,
look to the basic developers page for QVGA skins, there are some available:
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/skins.htm
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/users_skins.htm
You'll need those one for QVGA devices, also a HTC adapted black skin is there.
It turns off device, switches display off or restarts your mobile, even hard reset is possible with some 'hidden' button on upper right side, with confirmation pop-ups...

i mean, this really turn of the phone, i got psshutxp cooked on my own rom with my own psshutxp skin

excellent app
thank you!!! not much but here you go 29275987W5492260D

This is still not shutting down my Touch Pro (CDMA, MightyRom 4.16). When I press "shutdown" it just turns the screen off. And now it has taken over my power button, so I REALLY can't shut down.
EDIT: Actually, I see that by long-pressing the power button, and pressing shutdown on this tool, my phone actually does shutdown. But it doesn't work when I launch the program instead of pressing the power button. Is this what is intended?
