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!!!
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"...
The Home button on the top left corner doesn't work when the Touch Flo function is switched off.
For the 818 pro, that button can be used to click the "START".
How can I do this on the Diamond?
Thank You!!
Home button?
Home button does work when TF3D is off... it still takes you 'Home' to your today screen. If you want to remap you can use GScroll - just search Google for it
title says all
key to open keyboard ?
hold the menu button a lil' longer ?
you must set it in settings tnx (solved own question...)
It opens the keyboard but may have no effect. Try the search button instead.
Hello, the new HTC ICS phones use three capacitive buttons Home, back, and a multitasking button. How would this work in legacy apps that require a menu button? I ask because I would love to have the captivate menu button function as a multitasking button without changing any of the other buttons. Is this possible?
