In Settings -> Personal -> Buttons -> End Key
It only allows to use the button for either display 'Quick List' or automatically executes some actions.
I find it useless.
How about mapping hat end key (hold press) to Comm Manager ? Is that possible? Seems like a registry tweak or something but I couldn't find.

I use the PTT remap and it works like a champ great little proggy.
Short press - toady screen long press HTC Action screen.
Though nice I'd like to have either "Backlight" or even "Full brightness backlight" on button 6. any chance to do this? I'm not afraid hacking the reg.
Yes, go into the Windows folder and find the app called Backlight.exe. make a shortcut to it and move that shortcut into the Windows > Start Menu > Programs folder. Then go to the buttons option and change the PTT button to fire up the Backlight shortcut. I don't use the regular Buttons option to do this with mine, I use AE Button Plus, but it should work the same way.
I almost went that far already BUT is there an option to set the default and/or adjust backlight setting to full brightness?
Here's a great utility I found yesterday after searching for "backlight" on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413137&highlight=backlight
The shortcut I use is \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 0 4 9 Press PTT once it is off, press again and it is about medium, press again and it's on full. You can change it to \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 1 9 and it would go from dim or bright each time you press it. I'm not sure how many arguments you can pass, but people have been able to use 5 with no troubles.
Hi. My power button starts to cause problems and sometimes I have to torment to bring up the menu (profiles, screenshot, reboot). Is there any way to create a shortcut to the menu? Eg "1Tap Quick Bar" app creates a shortcut, but only to reboot (even without the choice standard/CWM). I searched all activities of system apps but found nothing. As a last resort can I map the camera button as power one?
Just go to market and type "Shutdown Menu". It has everything you need.
OK thanks, but it solves my request partially. I need whole power menu with screenshot and profiles
I believe this has something to do with new Android system.
I have some older apps like nbpro or simple task switcher that don't have three dots. Is there any way on tab s2 to remap an existing key to menu key? For example, long press switching or long press home will activate menu?
I found that I can have more settings key by activating assistant menu under accessibility. Assistant menu is a cyan circle, once tapped, it explodes to show further onscreen keys. To able to assign more settings to a key off the screen or to a gesture would be nice. I am not ready to root my tab s2 yet. Or else using xposed would be handy.
Long press the back button. It brings up settings/menu
Long press back key does work sometimes.
In some app like nbpro, the menu, more options appear when I hold back key after lo press. When I release after the long press the more options disappear. It sometimes does not register very well. I don't know if it is something to do with the app or something to do with the system.
This will allow you to use the Convenience key as Mute Switch it will mute all your sounds (notification, ringer and alarms)
Prerequisites
Sound Mode Tasker Plugin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nick.mowen.soundplugin
Button Mapper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
MuteAll.apk = attached to this thread (This is just a Tasker task I wrote and exported it as an app)
Steps
1) First download all the files and install them
2) Go to Settings -> Convenience Key -> Hit "Clear" , then go home
3) Open Sound Mode Plugin and click Setup Sound Profiles, be sure to copy exactly what I did (case sensitive) or else it wont work
make 2 profiles
silent
unsilent
Note: its up to you if you want to silent all 3 volumes or just a specific one just adjust the slider
4) Open Button Maper application and click Add Buttons
5) Click the + (Plus) Icon and hit the convenience key, it should now detect the convenience key
6) Customize the key, I have mine set to "Single Tap" then on top select "Applications" and look for MuteAll
7) Exit the app and try your convenience key, there might be a few seconds delay sometimes but it will work
You should see "Silent Mode" or "Normal Mode" flash on your screen when its activated / deactivated
Enjoy!
another method of use of bb keuone conveyance key as mute switch (timed)
I have shared another method of use of BB keuone conveyance key as mute switch (timed)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/bla...witch-t3899281
Experience sharing on another way (Timed) of using Convenience key as Mute Switch
Prerequisites
(i) Button Mapper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
(ii) SilentTime apk (attached)
(iii) Convenience Key is free from configurations (if not free Go to Settings > Convenience Key > tap Clear)
(Iv) Blackberry ketone with Android v7.1.1 (method may work on other versions)
1) Installed SilentTime app , now opened Silent Time Setter (It forms two icons at the app drawer SilentTime and Silent Time Setter) and set the required duration (30 min or 1 hr or 2 hr etc) to keep the phone in silence once it got activated, select vibrate or silent mode , finally click on Set
2) Opened Button Mapper application > Add Buttons > tap / touch the + (Plus) Icon > press the convenience key, it will detect the convenience key and provide entry as PP_SHORT_TOUCH 284
(accessibility option enabled for Button Mapper, Settings > accessibility > Button mapper > enable)
3) Touch / tap on PP_SHORT_TOUCH 284 to Customize the key> set "Long press" > Now from the top selected option "Applications" > further selected SilentTime” from list of applications
[Post requisites: ( I have done but may not be required)
(I) Do not disturb override permissions at Notification access given to both Button mapper and SilentTime (Settings > Notification > Do not disturb override enable for both these apps)
(II) Automatic start permissions given to both Button mapper and SilentTime
(App drawer > Power Center >manage automatic apps > enable both these apps)
(IiI) exemption from power optimization given to both Button mapper and SilentTime (App drawer > Power Center > turn on battery optimisationall apps > enable for both these apps)l]
Now press power button and conveyance button simultaneously to mute to timed duration or unmute alternatively even while the phone in deep sleep.
Note: Convenience Key can also be configured to open the SilentTime from built in facility but it is unable to act without unlocking the phone , however if we unlock, we have many options, no longer convenience key is required.
Acknowledgement: This was my long back idea but it got a realization as got introduced to Button Mapper App from writing of Mr Glen L- Thanks.
Caution: This is only experience sharing, without any responsibility, user has to take care that the convenience key is not long pressed unintentionally while phone is in wake up state or simultaneous pressing of power key and conveyance key while the phone is in deep sleep , otherwise it may lead to not responding to a phone communication during the set period and its relevant consequences. Further one more limitation with this app is that if the phone is restarted in mute condition it shall not unmute even after expiry of set duration.
My idea is that Blackberry should have provided a configurable timed mute key / button in a recession so that it cannot be pressed unintentionally in future phones (many of apple / oneplus one users forget slide back the switch to unmute)
New finding on 12.02.19 : the same can be achieved differently by with the conveyance button's built in configuration method (Settings > conveyance key > shortcuts >open app > SilentTime ) . However we have to press first power key, then conveyance key to enable timed mute or unmute alternatively (but we have to disable customise option of Button Mapper App (Button Mapper > Add button > PP_SHORT_TOUCH 284 > put off customise) or uninstall Button Mapper
