hi,
I have searched all forums and tried various solutions such as adding .lnk files to \Windows folder but not found a solution yet.
What i wish to do is disable the short press on the Power hardware button so that the device does not go into the stanby mode.
I appreciate any help i get!
Thanks!!
ks20 does that too..
u got something?

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

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...

I have the side OK button remapped in spb pocket plus v4 under the buttons menu in settings and the only thing you have to do is take focus off the start menu then it works as expected.

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.
Hi all. I truly apologize if I'm posting something that's already been covered, but I've searched for a while now on this one. I've done the PTT fix with PTT_Fix_4Tilt.zip (thanks the many posts for showing the way to that one), but I'd like to remap the push and hold feature for the PTT button to bring up the task manager. Has anyone done this, or know how to do it?
Thanks a bunch!
the answer is not from here, just on the wiki

Thanks but doesnt answer my question...
Thanks for replying, but it doesn't answer my question. I was not asking "How to remap the PTT button" - I already have done that (as I said in my post)-, but pointing out that once the PTT button is remappable, ther is no selection under button assignments to choose for launching the task manager. If someone knows, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, I did this, but it takes a trick. You have to go into the Windows folder and find the taskmanagerapp.exe and make a shortcut for it. Take that shortcut and paste it into the Windows > Start Menu > Programs folder (or any subfolder you wish thereafter) and get out of file explorer. Then you can pick the shortcut to be used for the button assignment. I also did this for the backlight. If you use AE Button +, you can get a lot more hotkey options and really go nuts.
Thanks, I'll try that and look into AE +
Thanks.Finally got working Task Manager shortcut
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.
Hey everyone, I have been pouring over the forum and havent found anything. The few people I asked (including the maker of the ROM i use RRE Fuze V2.1) we can't figure it out. Here's the deal.
I use PTT, I got the PTT cab (RaphaelPTT_2008_09_10_A.cab)
The way his ROM is set up, total commander starts when you short press the PTT button, and the camera starts when you long press it.
I have tried deleting, renaming, moving, modifying the long_PTT.ink and short_PTT.ink links in the /Windows/ folder, but they are ROM files, if by some chance I am successful at renaming them, i look again and they have been added back.
So when i short push my PTT button to see my PTT contact list, the voice commander starts up and when i long press to talk to my contact, the camera starts or takes a picture. Quite annoying.
So, does anyone know a fix for this? or is there a way/program i can use to delete the file from the ROM? Any suggestions at all would be MUSH appreciated. Thank you.
The stock AT&T rom does this and I was hoping someone would know how to enable this feature on a cooked rom. I always end up putting my device in sleep when im typing anything. Ive looked through the registry to try and find where i could change it with no success. Searching also didnt seem to yeild anything relevant then again that may have just been due to the keywords i used. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
I would also love to know how to do that. It is really annoying when UI'm in the middle of texting and I hit the power button by accident.
I have seen a cab floating around here somewhere just after the tp2 was released, you should be able to find it with the search
i tried searching first but was unsuccessful at even finding anything related to what i was looking for. Not even someone asking about it. i guess i will have to think of some other keywords than landscape and powerbutton. any suggestions? i know its possible and its probably just a registry key
it's a good idea. Me also find that when writing to Querty keyboard presses power button. Could this feature be added to the energy rom.
well it could be added to any rom, but i wouldnt imagine NRG adding it by default. It could be rather bothersome to some people. I wouldnt be surprised if he added it to the addon folder for his roms if a few people requested it and sent him the cab to host. Then all you gotta do is put it your UC folder and it would be auto installed anyways. Anyone know if the keyboard mapper program handles the power button and could do this? id rather see a cab then using a whole app but at this point i will settle for anything i can get. mabye i will try it when i get off work
dang you really gotta choose the right keywords to get anything. long story short, found a thread with a link to another thread that had the cab. And it works great! better than i had hoped. disables the short press and you can hold the power button to bring up slide to shut down which has a sleep option. but if ur in landscape u have to hold the power button to get it to come back on. there are multiple profiles thats just the one that works best for me. give it a try:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546094
find the program:
hAndy Power button
It's a tiny little CAB that does 1 thing.... disables the button when keyboard is open
works great.
