Hi all,
My softkeys don't work long time ago so I have found solutions to:
- Use the multimedia player: You can remap the buttons like play, next...
- I have redesigned home screen to put the sms on the top.
- Use the red button to lock the phone
- Use the power button to change the sound profiles.
But I don't know how to unlock the phone using another keys instead the left softkey. Anybody know how to do this?
Best regards,

Hi all,
i'm having intermitent issues with my Green Phone button not responding when pressed. As such, i would like to reassign this function to another hardware button such as the default PiE button.
However, i discover that the "Phone" function listed for assignment on the Buttons setting does not accept calls as the Green Phone button does when a call comes in! In fact, i can't accept calls by using any buttons & have to open my case to press the onscreen "answer". Any registry tweaks to rectify this?
Thanks!
Anyone with update?
Cheers,
You'll probably have to tweak the registry - I know may be possible - as I am using phoneplus III and the green button when clicked - starts up Phoneplus and not the internal Phone dialpad.
In the phoneplus setup - it says "Assign Phoneplus to Green/Send Button" and also "Assign Red Button to Close PhonePlus and End Calls"
So if anyone with experience on registry details - should be able to help you out.

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....
Is it possible to use central circle button to switch on the display of the PDA instead of use ON/OFF button?
Thank you.
would like to know if the center button can be map as the power button too.
Its not as you asked, bight might be worht considering:
If you go to settings>system>Lock Buttons and choose do not lock buttons, then all the buttons including the center button will trun on the screen.
Yes. Now every time I want to switch on the display I have to push the upper ON/OFF button and I think it would be better if i could do it by pressing the central circle button?
Thank you
Yes omar32, but i do not like this option because if all buttons are enabled, it is very easy to push them accidentalty and to do calls, etc that you do not want. I want that when the PDA is deactivated, i can switch display on with ON/OFF button or pressing the central circle button, but with others buttons disabled.
Thank you
I agree with you guys. If diamond is a phone why it can behave like a real normal phone. Using this stupid ON/OFF button is very inconvenient and annoying! I miss normal lock keypad-I mean like in SE press * and lock button(s0ft button) to unlock in reverse direction.To get this feature I have to use 3d party software like s2u2 which does the thing but destroys other like receiving MMS etc. I'm getting bored of this phone ale looking for all the time for the compromise between one feature I need and another.Just wanted a PHONE with possibilities of PDA not PDA with option of PHONE
So, is it no possible to use central circular hw button to switch on the display?

Hi
I can tell you how I "resolved" this problem possibly closest to the "normal" phone
First: in settings /system -> key lock -> set: DON't lock the buttons
Second: because pressing ON/OFF button is very inconvenient we have to bypass it..There are few programs *.exe which does exactly the same what ON/OFF button. So search the web for turnOff.exe and map it with soft key manager to any of the soft buttons you like(right or left).This lets you turn off the phone without pressing ON/OFF button on the top.
Third: Because now buttons are not locked it's easy to wake up the phone in the pocket and press sth on the touch screen so you have to use s2u2 for locking/unlocking. And that's all you have to do is spend some time on configuring s2u2 this is the hardest thing here.
Now you can wake up the phone with any button you like and unlock it in iPhone style(thanks to s2u2), when want to lock it you press the soft button mapped to turnOff.exe and that's it- you got your phone locked and turned off.
If somebody knows a different way to do it please share with us
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.
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
