Changing left Ok Button

Hi,
here HKLW\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\... I could find my hardware buttons and I was able to remap them. But I'm missing the left OK button which is located on the left side of the kaiser.
Does some know how I can change this button ?
Cheers Wolle

I don't know if it's possible to change this via the registry, but with the tool AE Button Plus it is possible:

I've already changed the left OK button to an ESC button with this tool.

I've heard about that tool, but isn't it running all the time in the background to handle all ? I do not want to loose ressources, so I prefer changing the registry.

I like built in solutions as well, but I have to say that the Kaiser has plenty of memory. I don't think it will phase it.
That said, I don't run that application so chalk this post up as useless...
Later, Lew

For the record, SPB Pocket Plus can also handle changing this or any button to anything that you want. I have kept the OK button as an OK button, but I can now press and hold the OK button to Close the app.

Hard buttons assignment

Hello,
Could you confirm that only the "Call" (hold) button can be customized ? (via the out of the box settings, buttons)
Did somebody manage to customize the "OK" button (hold) ? that would work from any application ?
Thanks

Go Start>Settings>Buttons
That should do it.

Did you try that one?
With my firmware the only available button I have on the list is the call button (Button 1).
The second button is hardcoded to lock phone.
And there is not way to associate anything to any other button.
C'mon HTC, this is SICK!
Ciao,
Davide.

The second button can be assigned other functions like Data connection termination, airplane mode etc
Start - Settings - System

Anyone know if AEButtons will work on the Diamond? I have used it on virtually every device I own including my touch. Waiting for a US Diamond.

It works, but you can't customize the new Back Key.

How about Hbutton? It works great on my Diamond and you can assign different programs to the Call ( hold) button at the same time.

Yes, but only to the call button. With this phone is just like you have two buttons when you really have 9 more but you can't customize them!

Davide.

That's funny because I just did.
I set the "OK key" (in AEBPlus) this way:
1: Close active application
Long: "Coreplayer"
Now that dreaded back key actually closes the running program!

On the MDA compact 4 you cant even configure the call button!

I'm using Spb Pocket plus 4.02 TF3D and the taskmanager turned off
(using SPB Shell)
OK button = close
I think it's better then AE button plus, it doesn't support ok/close together.
So with SPB pocket plus you can make an appointment and push the back button to save and close the appointment

It works but with some bugs. No problem al all when TF 3D is not active as today plugin, you can configure every hard button to whatever behaviour you like. But when TF active strange things happen:
Red (hang) button, enter (circled one) and volume buttons always work in simple, double, triple and hold pressing.
Home button and return only work when you are not in home screen or if an app has been launched. Also they work if you are in home screen but after pressing start and the menu is showed.
Weird, don't you think?

Confirmed.
The best thing for MDA Compact IV is to reassign the 2nd Softbutton in the registry to VoiceCommand, make your own HButtons for WiFi-toggle e.g. and rename them.
My Perfect solution.

Any more detail on what registry to edit ? And why change it to voice command?

[q] {request} a screen position change< plz >

Hi guys,
So, as the thread says, i am having a problem with screen positioning, its landscape mode and i want it to go portrait mode, BECAUSE i have a damaged X1, some microchip is damaged, and the only buttons working is the turn on button and the camera button, but everything which goes for the touch is working perfectly.
SO, when i start ANDROID system, i always get it in landscape mode, and as none of my buttons work, i cant just "slide out and slide in" the telephone to change the view, so is there any way to change the default starting view ? maybe to change some kind of code or line in settings ?

It will be hard to use android without "OK" button (back in android) and Left softkey (Menu in android)...

Yes , it will be, but i tried to repair it, i repairmans told, that this device is unrepairable... So i either throw it away or manage to use android ... Can anyone help ?

On some of the iPad knockoffs running android, they put only the home button on the device, and put software buttons for back and menu in the top right of the screen. Maybe you can find some way to get that?

As for the rotate, when I press the menu button on the home screen, it seems to realise that the keypad is in fact closed and rotate the correct way. So if you can get the menu button up there, then press that on the homescreen and it should rotate to the correct orientation.

You can maybe remap the keys like this:
Camera focus = back
Camera = home
Power = menu
But I don't know how to do it.
Sent from my MSM using XDA App

Camera focus is already mapped to back button in "Froyo FRG83 - Android 2.2.1 Beta-Release [06-11-2010] from neopeek", but camera is mapped to turn off.
Also with that configuration, how would you turn off your device or put it into standby?
@tads999 calm down dude. Remember that YOU need help, not us. So don't yell at guys that want to help.

Take out the battery to turn off.
Have a timer that enters standby after some minutes if nobody touch it and listen to all working keys so he can exit standby.
And if I would have his X1 I would be pleased if it could run Android.

[Q] Home button on lockscreen (Galnet)

I'm posting this topic cause I couldn't find any answer to my question which is:
Is it possible to make my home button behavior as a power button while at lockscreen?
I would like to turn my screen on and off with only home button. I can turn it on just with home btn but when I want to turn it off I have to move my thumb to power button what is for me not as comfortable as it shuold be. And if it's not possible than mayby there's a way to reduce the "lock screen on" time?
I'm running on the latest Galnet 6.0.1.0
Thanks in advance for answer ; )

search for an app called 'button remapper' in google, i think its got that feature

hmm... thanks for that, but it's not exacly what I need.
It's partially is but i wanted to change home button behavior only on lockscreen. For now I made my home button to work as power and power as home. It seems that I don't need to change the whole behavior but only to add one functionality that make my home button work as power one while being at lockscreen.
I know it's just a whimsy but would be nice to make it work as I want ^^
And again. Thanks for your help !

Yes, long press on the far left optical button. It will then pop up the the normal menu you're used to.
