How? Add Hardward button for re-defined function

Only two buttons are available to be re-difined. Can't be register hack way to Re-defined OK button? Or add more buttons into selected key.

I think have three buttons

I am using AE Button Plus. UI is not that intuitive, and it's not free, but it allows OK button remapping (among others.) Here are my button functions:
Voice speed dial button: 1 press: Run App (Fullscreen Keyboard), 2 presses: Run App (Photo Contacts), 3 presses, Run App (AE Button Plus), Press and hold: Rotate Screen (Can rotate in any of four orientations)
Camera button: 1 press: M$ Voice Command, 2 presses: Camera, 3 presses: CorePlayer, Press and Hold: Xn ViewPocket (photo viewer)
OK button: 1 press: Close App, 2 Presses: Switch App, 3 presses: Soft Reset, Press and Hold: (doesn't seem to work)
Left soft key: 1 press: Left softkey (but mapped to WMP on today screen through Tweaks2K2), 2 presses: TomTom 6, 3 presses: Resco File Explorer, Press and Hold: StarCaddy (I'm a golfer)
Right Soft Key: Could remap all, but "Right Soft Key" command within AE ButtonPlus doesn't seem to work and I don't want to loose that button's soft key functionality. So I've left that one alone.
Start Menu Key: AE button plus cannot seem to add both the OK button and the Start Menu key at the same time - so this one is not touched either.
It also doesn't seem to play nice with CorePlayer: AE dominates and doesn't let other programs remap while they are open. I'm adjusting though.
Hope this helps. I've tried other mappers (VITO didn't work at all for me, and Double Launcher limited me to only 2 buttons) and this is the best I could find to date.
If anyone else has a different or better solution, please post it so we can all get maximum functionality from our little pets!!!

AE Button Plus - List Your Configuation

I think this would be a good place for people to exchange their button mapping configurations using AE Button.
Add yours, and maybe pick up a few good ideas from fellow members.

Hmmm, well I'm still tweaking, but currently:
button 1: IE on single click, Opera Mini on double click
button 2: "Messaging" on single click, strait to SMS on double-click, and Mundu on triple-click
button 3: Start Menu on single-click, next app on double, and Task Manager on press/hold
Button 4: Ok/Close on single click, Close active app on press/hold
Left Softkey: Copy on single-click, wifi on/off on double click
Right Softkey: Paste on single click, vibration mode on/off on double, Open TomTom on triple.
Everything else is stock. I'm starting to question triple-clicks though... sometimes I get the timing wrong, and it gets perceived as a double-click. If I don't acquire more natuaral accuracy there, I may move the triples to press/holds.

Button 1: Single-Opera // Double-PIE
Button 2: No Change
Button 3: Single-BlueTooth Off/On // Double-WiFi Off/On // Hold-Close DU Connections
Button 4: Single-Show Actions Menu // Hold-Show Today Screen
Button 5: Single-Microsoft Voice Command // Double-QCalc // Hold-Camera
Button 6: Single-Total Commander // Double-TomTom
Button 6 Hold: Comm Manager

I don't know the button numbers, so I shall only name them.
start menu button
single - start menu
press and hold - my own launcher with about 20 apps in it.
Mail button
single -mail
Press and hold - A2DP on
Left soft-key
Single - softkey
press and hold - MS voice command
voice command button
single press - my 20 icon finger-friendly launcher
press and hold - the cyberon voice command
Side OK key
single press - OK
long press - runs a mort script which backs out of apps which dont work properly with the OK key, such as the Audio manager library.
Thats all, but together it makes for a pretty good one-handed experience.

I have experienced problems with reprogramming side enter (roller) and green & red call buttons

How are you guys remapping the PTT button. When I remap it it clones the map of the camera button. IE. Whatever I map to camera button gets activated by the ptt button. I've tried using PTT fix, and using the add button option in AE. Any sugestions?

Button1 - Single=PIE, Double=OperaMini, Long=InternetSharing
Button2 - Single=Messaging, Double=PocketCM, Tripple=PiWeek, Long=New SMS Message
Button3 - Single=Start Menu, Double=ToggleBT Power, Tripple=ToggleWiFi Power, Long=CommManager
Button4 - Single=OK/Close, Double=progMXConverter, Tripple=prog12C Calc, Long=prog Dictionary
Red Button - Single=press Red Button, Double=Press Red Button, Tripple=Close Dialup Connections(closes E or 3G/H connection). AEB can NOT program Long Press with this button cause it can't detect the long press, but the others work OK
Left Soft Key - Using HTC SoftKey Changer, set to PocketCM, then with AEB-Single=PocketCM, Double=CorePlayer, Long=SlingBox
Right Soft Key - Using HTC SoftKey Changer, set to BTAudioToggle, then with AEB-Single=BTAudioToggle, Double=LiveSearch, Tripple=GoogleMaps Long=iGuidance

remap home key and ok key

Hi, I'd like to remap the hard keys as follows:
- Home key -> Start menu
- Back arrow key -> OK button
any clues about what registry entries are these two hidden under?
Telling me the button code is enough... thanks.

Maybe this one helps. Can't test it myself as i have no Diamond yet.

The OK-button might be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2

nope, no avail - have checked 40C1 to 40C7 but the only thing that fires an event is the green phone long press (40C6), others no avail (

new info - I have found the key codes using AE Button Plus as follows:
- Home button = #00ED (+no flag)
- Back button = #405C (+Win flag)
continuing research...
( No, I simply do not want to use AE Button Plus... )

Any luck on the research?

afaik, once you run touch 3d. The home key will always overwrite by it.....

HButton
I am wondering about the hardware key's to
I use a program (Hbutton) to give more functions to a hardwere button,
only key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys called "40C6" (the call button can be used.
does anybody know how to add the rest of the hardware buttons?
- back
- ok/enter
- home
- end/ divice lock (does someone know how to change the hold time)
- up and down?

I have ended up using AE Button plus. It doesn't initially list the buttons, but you can add them from the file menu.
Now I have control of all my buttons.

but jamesd256, do you know a solution without using AEBplus ? maybe just in modifying registry....

Keyremapping failes

Hi folks,
with my Magician I used to remap a Hardwarebutton (Camera preferred) for Voice Command. Now on the Diamond ALL entries in the corresponding Menu disappered! The Progamentries in menu #2. are still there, but no buttons in list #1.
Does anybody know why? Hard- and Softresets make no difference.

AFAIK, the Diamond has only one configurable button. The Long Press Send Key (as in, the call key) is the only thing that can be changed... (and that may be disabled on some devices)

Which button do you use for MSVC
Thanks for the answer, but which button do you use for MSVC?

Actually if you are using a button remapping program, for example i'm using spb pocket plus', you can also remap the ok (hold) button too.
so a total of 2 remappable buttons for diamond only

I personally don't... It may be possible to redirect the long press keys to things (long press end goes through a shortcut in \Windows)

you can use ae button plus
With this you can remmap all the buttons + volume bauttons + many more.

How do you get aeb to work while running another program? I can only get it to work on the today screen?

Thanks! now I use AE Button und remapped the long pressed "Volume up" to MSVC. Works perfect!

AE Button Plus Survey

Hi, all. New Fuze owner, new XDA-Developers user. Thanks for all the great tips I've found here so far. These are great forums.
I recently installed AE Button Plus to see if I could improve the functionality of the hardware buttons. I have been able to add additional functions to a couple, but some haven't worked and I'm having a hard time mapping the buttons in the program list to the hardware. For example, the app lists App Button 1, App Button 2, App Button 3, App Button 4, and App Button 5, and as far as I can tell, these don't do anything. I also have Long Send and PPT (Hold) listed, neither of which is a separate button. (I also have Button #40C7, which I think is the PTT button I added to the registry manually a couple of weeks ago.) On the other hand, the Home and Back keys aren't listed at all.
For those of you who use the product, would you mind posting the following?
1. Which buttons (as well as softkeys, etc.) have you been able to remap?
2. For each button, what is it called in the program list?
3. For each button, have you been able to map all four functions (short press, long press, double tap, triple tap) to it?
4. Anything else you feel might be helpful?
I hope I have explained this is a way that makes sense. If not, please let me know.
Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give me.

hey, always kool 2 hear from new ppl (im kinda new myself!)
i have only tried 2 remap a couple of buttons but they have both worked for me.
1. Enter/Action:
-single press=press enter (call default handler)
-double press=press left softkey (helpfull for pressing the send key while texting)
-long press=flashlight (button lights up in dark and is quick)
2. Red phone button
-single press=taskfacade (hitting it does nothing more than the home key, so i made it into a taskmanager)
i didn't really find the need to remap anymore keys because of the default one's on the keyboard (internet, text message, email,and comm)

There are many buttons in the app that aren't on the phone. To Map the Home key, you have to Add Button (on the left soft key menu).
I map it to the Start Menu...which I have as QuickMenu. seriously, once you go Quick, you never go back.
Keep in mind, for some reason the Home key will ALWAYS go to the Today Screen, then do whatever you map it to in AEB...this is a known issue.
Good Luck!

I disabled the hard-volumekeys. I now use them as follows:
Up:
2x = enable bluetooth
3x = enable vibrate mode
hold = psShutXP
Down:
2x = close S2U2 (ilock)
hold = camera
Powerbutton (not with AEB-plus):
short: screen off
long: enable S2U2 (because I had several problems taking the phone out of my pocket with a warning the phone was powering off)
Left soft:
icontact
Right soft:
TomTom Navigator

I have tried to map the following:
Green Button
Single press = Press Green Button
Double press = Run application(Launch Manager)
Long press = Could not be mapped!
Red Button
Single press = Press Red Button
Double press = Task Manager
Long press = Could not be mapped!
The home button and the cancel button could not be mapped!!

all i did was remap the home button to open start menu (wm6.5) and the end key to actually end the program rather than minimize it

I'm on a custom rom (RRE WM 6.5 v4).
The PTT button on my Fuze by default on this ROM is customizable so I have that bring up Task Facade (a program switcher) on short press and hTorch on long.
AEB handles
volume up:
-short - vol up
-long - wifi on
volume down:
-short - vol up
-long - close dialup connection

Do you guys think AE button plus has a battery drain since it's always running? I've been running it for years, but now I'm trying to find sources of my battery drain.

has anyone else experienced significant lag in the pressing the button and it performing the task?
i only used the trial on an oem fuze rom and mapped the double push of the down key to the task manager and a single push to do the normal move down..it would lag horribly to do either task and i never could get the long press to work reliably..
i havent tried it on a cooked rom and never bought the full version due to these issues..

All buttons can be remapped except short home and short red I think, here's my setup and the config file.
(only deviations from default)
VolUp Long - SPB Now screen
VolDown Long - MemMaid Reclaim RAM
Home Twice - SPB My Menu
Home Long - Start Menu
Back Twice - force close
Back Long - task switch
Green once - SPB Dial Tab
Green twice - resco explorer
Green 3x/Long - classic dialer
Red Twice - Rotate screen
Red Long - display off (note that Long End Key app must be set to Lock in odrer for this key to be mappable)
It's got more features than my Artemis and there are still "keys" to be assigned
For the questions above - no battery drain noticed and no lag on Energy ROM 2
The culprit of your battery drain is most likely activesync running 24/7 or try another radio version, also some today plugins can cause serious drain (I tested SPB, iLauncher, Pocket Digital Clock, HomeScreen ++ and SPB Diary with no drain but I had some that ate my Raph's battery in just two days)

has to be activesync 24-7...but I know that...too stubborn to get rid of it b/c it's so damn convenient. I just thought push mail was supposed to be efficient...
I'll keep using AE button plus. I recommend it all the time. GREAT program.

All those who want to remap home, back and other keys, which AEButton doesn't process properly, look HERE.
The second version is almost finished and it has more options and can process double clicks like AEButton. I'll upload it in a day or two.
