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)

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).
With the limited Hardware buttons on the diamond I find apps like HButton indispensable.
I have tweaked mine to suit the Default Diamond layout very nicely
Looks like it was meant to be like this from HTC
Link to a video clip of how it works.
http://home.telkomsa.net/edgepc/HButton.AVI 2meg
Mine is set to Cycle through the following apps
Voice Dial
Note2Self
Comm Manager
HButton Vibrates on each switch so it is easy to select the right app without looking at the device
Attached is a pic of the config screen to show you how to set it up like mine and a screenie of it in action

thanks for the tip..very useful.
That was a really cool application indeed. Thank you!
Thank you, muy buena
Very interesting, THX!
sssssssssssssssssensational!!!
Oooh
It is even better for Diamond than my friend's AEbutton Plus wich Id used before! (Don't tell him please
Thankss!
Hi,
I tested Hbutton, but it seems I can only assign the call button (hold).
There is no other buttons available.
Anybody have the same problem ?
Thanks
Yea only one button but its better than nothing
Jules
I'd also pick HButton IF it were possible to assign the "<--" button.
With AEButton I can do this, so sticking to that for now.
hbutton settings
Which HButton is the call button on? Hope I can get this working it was great on my vario 3.
Pete
hbutton on diamond
Looks like I cant even see any buttons in settings/buttons. I think T-Mobile have locked even the call button!
Pete
Thank you.
Thats really nice program.
If you have spb pocket plus installed you can assign to the ok key
this allows you to also assign a Hbutton to the key in the buttons dialog
therefore giving to h button enabled keys (Which is excelent
tried it ... adopted it
Thx.
Perfect completion for VoiceCommand.
Just set the "HButtonX.lnk" to toggle WLAN and rename it to "WLAN.lnk" or "WiFi.lnk"
After a soft reset you can switch on and off WiFi by starting this "App" with VoiceCommand.
this is genius!
thanks a lot

There is no key in the buttons dialog, that's my problem. How do I get one there?

No Hbutton in T-Mobile MDA Compact IV
Same here,I can't see HButton listed under buttons application.Looks like T-Mobile has removed it.Only Diamond people can see it.
Thanks
Hi every one,
I'd like to know how what to do to active the 3G button in Com manager?
Indeed, I've made this button appears in my HTC HD, thank to Advance config tools (based for Diamond at the beginning) :
Advanced cong tools -> menue -> more parameters -> com manager and then choose 3G instead of Flight mode.
But in Com manager, I can't disable the 3G button, because when I click on it, it changes of colour (because I clicked) but nothing else...
Is something to do in the registry? I've got reg edit task manager to do something into it.
Can someone help?
Regards.
This is what many touch pro/fuze owners want to have - ability to get full control over their keyboards.
This is for Raphael only! Do not try to install this on other devices!
Do not ask me to make a version for other device since my remappers are driver dependent and this can be very and very complicated without real device (if possible at all).
So, what is it ? It's a modified keyboard driver with configurator application for keys setup. Any key (yeah, i mean ANY, including Home and Back keys) can be reassigned to perform desired actions. Keys on a QWERTY keyboard are not an exception, they might be remapped too.
If any key has an action configured and is defined to be processed by my driver extension, it wouldn't go into the system. That is to say no one program even like AEButton will see key events processed by my driver.
Driver extension also can vibrate on any key press.
Modified drivers were tested on many ROMs based on different OEMs, so they would work in most cases.
Thanks dcd1182 for CDMA version testing.
Features:
Different event types supported: single, double and triple clicks, long presses
Two modes of key mapping: three actions per key or direct key mapping
Key repeats in direct key mapping mode
Actions sequence repeats in actions mode
Key combinations using FN modifier
Default key behaviour action - you won't loose key's default behaviour if you just want to add double click or long press to it
Different key behaviour depending on foreground process/window class/window text
Multiple rules for each key to provide different behaviour for each application you want
Multiple actions for each event
Different predefined actions:
Run program
Key press emulation
Send symbol/text to active window
Close active window
Switch to window by class/text
Terminate data connection
Wi-Fi toggle
BT toggle
Screen rotation
Power management (screen power toggle, suspend, reset)
Exceptions lists which are used to deny key remapping depending on foreground process/window class/window text
Configurable long press and double click duration
Configuration import/export in configurator
Changelog is located here.
Configurator UI localization support information is located here.
Requirements:
- .NET CF 2.0 (for configurator app)
- WM 6.1/6.5 compatible
Usage:
- Install SdkCerts.cab
- Install RaphKbdControl_XXX.cab
- Soft reset
- Check if keyboard works by pressing hardware buttons and seeing if they do their work, if not - uninstall cab, this wouldn't work on your current ROM
- If it works - go to the control panel and find "Keyboard Config" on a System page
How to define key processing:
- Run configurator (Control Panel -> System -> Keyboard Config)
- Press Menu -> Add key
- When dialog asking you to press key appears press and release desired key
- Set up needed options in key setup dialog and press OK (left softkey)
- In configurator's main window press left softkey "Update settings" to let new configuration take place (reboot is not needed, coz new settings will work immediately after saving)
What to do if keyboard doesn't work after uninstallation of this software:
- in any way stop device "KBD1:"
- for example, you can use Dotfred's TaskManager - navigate to Devices tab and find the KBD1: string, then press Stop
- delete files \Windows\keypad.dll and \Windows\kbdcntrl.dll
- soft reset
How to add new button to Buttons applet and get it working:
- add or copy existing key [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40CX], where X is 1-6
- under this key add next values:
* Name - display name of the button in list (doesn't matter what you write here, it's only for you)
* Icon - path to icon for this button
- goto configurator and define an 'emulate key press' action for any button you want and set these values here: key code - 'App X' and check 'Win' checkbox - only in this case button will work
- save settings and enjoy newly created button
TODO:
- optimization
- Shift+?? key combinations support (if there would be requests on this)
- more actions
- other useful things
- your suggestions ?
Backup before installing of modified driver is strongly recommended.
Be careful when downloading the cab, make sure you choose the correct version suitable for your device.
Also, here is small collection of AltTab programs attached.
You can use any of them assigned as 'run program' action to desired key to switch between running programs.
well im going to try this right now, thanks
tested and works great.
side note: under the todo list adding different key behaviours depending on active window would be great
thanks
Push!
What a great app ! Couold you try to add something like multi-pressd ?
Glad to see something like this come along.
Curious, any plans to integrate with the Buttons applet found in Settings?
Cheers,
Again, excellent work!

No. Although buttons applet and my extension do similar work, they work in different ways, so it's not possible to integrate them at this moment.
It is very cool program.
But it is not work with russian keyboard on official Rom
Or it's my mistake?
after uninstall app and soft reset do not work hardware keyboard,
and keys: on/off device (on the top side) and loudness (on left side)
What can I do?
Cool tool!!! If you implement to configure different behaviour for different programs that would be really nice!
Wow; this really does sound like the tool I was hoping for. (The hardware keyboard and the home/back etc keys? Perfect!)
Sadly, seems like the rom I am using (MightyROM5, for CDMA and Sprint) wasn't one of them... oh, well. If anyone else with CDMA has a ROM and tries this successfully, though, I'd love to know so I can try a different one.
For me, the hardware keys worked again after an uninstall and soft reset. (To turn the screen back on after it fell asleep while I was doing this, I had to hold the power key down as if I was going to force it to turn off, only longer than normal -- just a FYI if someone else has the same issue.)

This is the keypad.dll from MightyRom 4.16 (CDMA):
Two requests:
1.
Please let me execute .lnk files also, not only .exe files
2.
I cannot use arguments when calling exe files. Please support arguments when calling exe files in the next version.
Thanks for listening!

i've analyzed CDMA keypad driver that mcw posted here, it's 90% similar to GSM version
i will patch it in a free time like my one, but i haven't a CDMA device to test it so you will need to test patched driver
Amazing app, exactly what I dream about, thanks!
I would also like to propose some more functions than just running app with keypress, like for example closing window, closing app, opening start menu, etc...
And, if anybody knows standalone symbols keypad replacement, with your superb program we can get rid of this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3911050
I have an issue with this app, dunno why but only my storage card is available to search exe from, I'm unable to search exe from main memory, how comes?

Hi guys, have a problem here, which should be really easy to solve, and that's why I need your help.
Just flashed a new WM 6.5 ROM to my X1i and I would like to change the softkey assignment of the lower right key on the touchscreen (not the silver one mounted to the case).
AFAIK I need to perform these changes in the registry:
you can easily change it by the following steps...
- use any reg editor program
- goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock
- change SK2TEXT from "Set" to "Comm Mgr." (no quote) or any word you like e.g. Wireless Mgr., Comm Manager
- change SK2URL from ":MSCLOCK;AppRunToHandleNotification" to ":MSWRLSMGR" (no quote)
- exit reg editor program
- soft reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509520 )
now what I want to do: the description above attaches a different comm manager to the button than the normal (by normal I mean the grey one dividet into rows, starting with phone and ending with data connection).
I would be very grateful if somebody would tell me what I need to write under SK2URL in order to attach the normal commmanager to the button; therefore somebody must enter te registry and check what I have to enter there to get the normal comm manager to work again (of course if somebody has the commmanager attached to the softkey)
a hard reset won't do it because that's how the rom is cooked.
please help and thanks in advance !!!
