As the topic is saying. Does someone know how I can link my Button 6 to adjust the backlight?? (Just like the HTC Home, Off - Low - Medium - High)
I tried google but didn't found anything :S
Help plz
thx.
Someone? Cmon
It is possible to map button 6 for Brightness
I saw your post and I made some teste on my tilt.
I was a big fan of HTC today, but I always loose my contact tab on today's screen when making few changes. Until,I found a alternative today's page. Im using SPB phone suite 4.0.
Your problem can be solve by using SPB phone suite.
If you already disable your PTT and regedited your button 6 you can ignore the step below.
1. just disable your PTT.
2. goto settings-> button -> you will see "add buttons" option.
3. click on "add buttons" to map your button6 for click/hold (two buttons).
4. on the selection you will see
[Backlight down]
[Backlight loop]
[Backlight up]
I choose Backlight down for testing and it did dimm the backlight when I click on my button 6 (PTT button).
I think for you would be "Backlight loop".
I really found Backlight on button6 is quite useless because I do need my voice command for calls and apps. Hold button6 for recording conversation.
I have mine Backlight icon on today's page, so I already have quick access.
Hi all,
Anyone can help to remap the hard button??
I want to change the Home key to Alt-tab, and the Back key change to OK/Close (1 press for ok and long press for real close the application). I have tried AE button plus, but not function very well.
Attached is the Alt-tab s/w i have used.
Don't know why HTC put a Home and Back key in WM pro device
Thank you very much,
did you reset the device after you changed the settings?
yes, but still doesn't work
There's a software called Hbutton. You might wanna try it.
Just tried Hbutton, but it doesn't work on diamond.........
Awww.. now how am I gonna survive on the diamond without Hbutton?!
There's another software called SmartSkeys (or something oike that) Not sure of it'll work.
Anyone got any suggestions on which software to use to map diamond buttons to many functionalities?
This one works on Diamond: AE Button Plus.
To my understanding from testing AEButton on the Diamond, I have realized that:
The HOME key cannot be remapped.
The Back key is essentially a "WIN" key. You can create a new button and remap the Back key. HOWEVER, the shortcuts DOES NOT WORK when you are at today screen. So here is what I do, I remapped the Back key single click to "Escape". double click to close program, long click to close all programs.
Thats the only logical thing i can think about using the back button due to the limitations.
Any ideas?
Escape = ok/close ?
With AEB Plus I managed to map "action long" to "task manager", but the setting doesn't seem to survive a soft reset.
Problem with TouchFLO 3D.
Disable TouchFLO 3D, you might map home/ok button by mappingware.
Setting -> Personal -> Today -> Items
Use SortInchKey, if you enable TouchFLO, you might map VolUp/VolDown/Ok(exclude Today screen) buttons.
Tried AE Button Plus 2.6.3, the "ok" button in AE Button Plus list can refer to back key, my setting is press 1 to minimize, long press to close current application. However, AE Button Plus can't handle the Home button. I already sent a request to them, hope their next version can sort it out.
I'm posting here to find this later. I use AEB on all my devices and want a Diamond. Hopefully it gets "worked out".

Yes, the mappings worked when TouchFLO was disabled. But when TouchFLO was enabled again, the mappings then didn't work.
Can someone please help me?
I use a golf GPS/Scoring program on my diamond (mobile golf scorer) and on it there is an option to use hardware button to turn display on/off, this keeps the gps active permantly. Its mapped in the program as 'button c' which from what i can tell should be the 'right hardware button' on a usual ppc.
I'm trying to map it as 'back button' using AEBPlus but it will only work on the main diamond screen or 'today' screen. I've tried mapping it to various buttons on the diamond but When i start the golf program it does not work.
Has anyone any ideas? I need to remap a button that will turn the display off no matter what i'm running.
Thanks again
I'd love to change the function of the "Back Button" aswell,
it has been annoying me since the first day I got it.
HButton seemed very promising, but sadly, it doesn't work.
Do hardware keys also have a registry number like the softkeys?
Like 112/113 for the softkeys?
Wondering anyone will use "Home" and "Back" button regularly....Maybe u guys can share your experience on how to smartly use this 2 buttons as I don't have any idea.........
Hello everyone!
This topic is very actual especially on all russian forums (hpc.ru 4pda.ru 4pda.info). Did anyone overcomed this difficulty with remapping hardware buttons? I tryed AEButton Plus but I was unsuccessfull in remapping the dimaond's "back" button - is there any one who did it? Please share the experience - it would be very very usefull to remap this button and to bind it to launching Dynamo3 task manager.
Thanks in advance.
ILya.
None of the programs named here work correctly on the Diamond, including AE Buttons Plus.
However, these buttons CAN be mapped. I know that because the capacitive buttons tester program can detect and show that you pressed these buttons. While this program is active, if you press the home key, it shows that you pressed the home key, but you don't go to the home screen. So it's possible, but only HTC knows how. We need their API's.

so this method willn't work too? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355141
the silly part on the htc side is to have 3 of 4 hw buttons do almost the same - if you are in an application, pressing home, back or hang-up button will act as "escape". am i wrong?
for one thing, it would be at least useful to have an "ok" button.
the ideal setup for me would be to use the "go to the tf3d home tab" function of the home key by pressing the "hang-up" button and use the home key as "ok"...
I searched but with no luck.
I would love to rotate the screen (manually or just by rotating the device) 90 degrees so I get the wide keyboard. It's much easier to type on and I text a ton. It looks like it's possible because you can rotate Opera and use the wide keyboard.
Thanks for any insight.
Try searching for an App called Gsen in the Themes, Applications and Software forum

Nice, thanks. However I just got a US version of the Diamond and it has rom version 1.93.422.4 WWE. I guess I'll just have to wait.
doesn't GSEN work with that ROM? you can try manual screen rotation.

It says "Not working on HTC Touch Pro with ROM version 1.90.0.0 or newer and HTC Touch Diamond with Telus ROM." on the first post ...
I tried it but it didn't work. Manual screen rotation?
Yep, I used Advanced Config to enable screen orientation (think its just a regisrtry key change) and assign long button press as a shortcut.

Cool! How do you assign the long press to rotate the screen? I don't see the option when assigning the key ...
Settings > Buttons > Button1 (Hold) > Assign <Rotate Screen>

i don't have this in my options either.
You need to enable screen rotation before that option appears.
Excellent! Thanks for putting up with my noobness

Where is option to enable screen rotation?
I'm sure there is a program someone has written to switch you screen to landscape mode without sliding the keyboard out,could someone point me in the right direction please i have done a couple of searches for it and scoured through numerous pages but cannot find it.
Thanks
AEButton Plus. You can set a button press (once, twice, etc) to rotate the screen.
start - settings - personal - buttons - change assign to a button to <rotate screen>
When you get wrong direction of rotation you need to go to settings - system - screen and change orientation
Then you will get changing screen to landscape,
i got that on hold button 6
Ok i have looked into ae button plus and this is just for mapping keys,in the default rom keymapper you can't select <rotate screen> as a option to map to a button.does ae button plus somehow make this command available to you?
Just looked again and found it...DUH!
Thanks guys
u need this program
this is the best program i was found its the same as the guy on top say.
i upload it to my privet server so u can download it www.webmotion-design.com/screen.rar its 2 small cab and install them both and then add a hard butten to one of them .koby
Great tip. I never realized it was in the list for buttons. I have always wanted this capability assigned to a button rather than a 3 step process. Thanks.
Thank you for the tip!!!!! Awesome... my Tomtom now displays as expected
mirorr please
Hello,
i'm looking for a replacement for AEBplus
I only need a few simple things:
left and right button - should rotate my screen, like it does when i open the keypad
ok button - task manager (or today screen from where i could start the taskmanager)
ok button (long press) - start an application
end call (long press) - lock the device (the you need to enter your password kind of lock)
What program other that AEB can do that and wont use as much CPU resources as AEB does?
you can just go to settings>buttons and assign either keft or right soft key to screen rotate, easiest way IMO
No i cant..there is only the left and right softkey button. Nothing else..and i could not setup a long press this way.

x1ButtonMapper, already tried that?
cheers
I use AEButon Plus on my X1a and I am thrilled with it. It doesn't have much (if any) negative effect on performance on mine.
Have you tried it on the X1?
Also for End Key there is a program called "Long Press End Key" I think. It is nice, and cooked into a lot of ROMs.

Havent tried that yet, can it do what i want?
I guess i could use mortscript for rotation, long press is obviously possible.
But what do i use as fast taskmanager? Can i start the built in taskmanager as application? And what can i use to password lock my device?
Edit: seems i loose the TAB key with X1ButtonMapper and the EndCall button isnt inclueded...thats bad
Is there a way to change some of the keys directly in the registry?

advanced config - menu (button) - more settings - key mappings
Mobile Magic doenst support the buttons i need. No longpress for End and no support for the OK button at all..that was the first program i tried.
To bad the options for the End key are grey in Advanced Conifg.
X1BC should allow for a lot more options than mx X1ButtonMapper. I think there is also a second application from the same author called X1BH or something. Check that out.
X1ButtonMapper is pretty lightweight actually. The most overhead involved will be by calling the script functionality but that is done asynchronous, meaning that X1ButtonMapper doesn't wait for the called application or script to finish - it just launches it.
I didn't remap the red and green phone buttons because they can't be easily remapped and I think they are central buttons which should keep their original functionality. I think remapping them will cause more bugs than you will gain functionality. With X1ButtonMapper you already gain enough options for the remaining keys (each with short and long press) which should be enough for most applications. You can also reassign the missing FN+key combos on the keyboard.
I did use the Tab key as Ctrl substitude because I think Tab is not important for Windows Mobile. It is substituted in most dialogs with the right/left keys so use these. You can get the original Tab function when pressing FN+Tab for the few situations where you really need it.
I am using X1ButtonMapper for a long time now and havn't had any stability issues - maybe that's the trade off for having less features.
X1Button manager somehow didnt react to my OK key. I allready have a standalone taskmanager mortscript could run but Ok didnt do anythink. Longpress of the softkeys to rotate the screen worked nicely though.
Longpress delay is a little longer than im used to but that not a big problem.
The longpress of the End key has allready a keylock function as standard setting (wich i find totally stupid because i turn the device of with the switch on top). There must be a registry setting that i could alter so it would run the password lock instead.
I will check into X1BC...
X1BC works thank you...and i like it much more than X1BM because i can setup everything to my likings, longpress timing, vibration on/off and wether i want a Control key replacement.
I could even use the panel key to lock my device if reprogramming of the end key button is not possible.
Does anyone know wich program i have to run to password lock my device? Maybe its possbile with mortscript..i should check that...
