AEButtonPlus Weirdness on Fuze

So, I've hooked up with AEButtonPlus and finally got my Fuze keys mostly set to what I want. Great program, and no hesitation on my part to pay the $7 registration. Nice work.
One bit of weirdness, though, is that when I "ADD BUTTON" to create a new button that represents the PTT button, it does so and creates a button called "BUTTON #00ED".
I can assign a SINGLE, DOUBLE and TRIPLE press assignment, and everything works. If I assign a LONG PRESS to "Toggle vibrate mode", that actually also works fine, ***BUT***, it also remaps it so that the LONG PRESS on the HOME key with the same function.
So, further experimenting... If I set PTT LONG PRESS to launch the calculator, when I get out of the AEButtonPlus Config screen and go into Mail or whatever, then do a HOME KEY LONG PRESS, it launches the Calculator.
Weird. Anyone else notice this? And if so, any work arounds?
I'm not using the LONG PRESS PTT function any more until I can figure this out.

You may want to do it again.
I don't have the problem with long press #00ED, but with volume up/down. Things work as I want them to do until I answer a call.

Yes, there is a definite linkage with the HOME key and the PTT key.
If I short-press the HOME key, it does take me to my home key, and then it emulates pressing a SINGLE PRESS of the PTT key, whatever I have that configured as.
Since I have SINGLE PTT configured as the Start Key, it actually works out in a livable way. A Short press on the HOME key gets me to my Today screen with the Windows menu active. A long press on the HOME key just gets me to my Today screen.
This linkage between the two keys are odd.

Custom Function on Search key

is it possible to give the search hardware key another function?
for example an app?
or i would love to have the on/off screen rotation function on it.

there is an app in the market that allows this but it is limited. it can only program one app to it, but you can make it any app you want. I have it programmed to the screenshot app, so i can take screenshots anytime i want without having to go back to homescreen.
the app is called "Button Shortcut". Depending on the app you want, there may be specific search shortcut apps in the market. I have one called "Call Button" and this programs the search key to also bring up the dialer to make calls since our nexus does not have a physical button for dial.

yeah that app is cool, but it only replaces the long press function of the search key.
is it also possible to replace the normal click?

Nope because the normal search screen can be handled by the active app.

I think in Cyanogenmod 7 you finally can do that.

in cm7, Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Input.
You can set long press to custom application for the home and menu key
In addition, for the "search key" you can set custom app for both short & long key press.

For long press on Search button you can also use " LaunchKey " ... you can set any App you want or ... create a Menu of your favorite apps to lunch .

i've tried this and it works. and if my memory is correct you can change long press and quick press to 2 different functions

Do yourself a favor and get Tasker. Binding the search button to pretty much anything you'd want is just one of about a billion things you can do with it. If you don't want to spend the money, you can try an app called AutomateIt. I haven't used that one as much as Tasker, but it has similar functionality.
Some of my Tasker tasks are:
Automatically turn on WiFi when I'm in my apartment
Turn off bluetooth when I disconnect my headset
Automatically turn on the GPS when I open Google Maps
Automatically start Pandora when I plug headphones in
You basically give it a trigger (app launching, button pressed, incoming call, etc) and a set of actions to perform when that trigger is hit.

[Q] How to remap long press button & vol up&down buttons: any app or manual mod?

[Q] How to remap long press button & vol up&down buttons: any app or manual mod?
Hi!
I have a Galaxy S and searching for mapping the long press button so to launch a custom app, and the vol up & down so to manage next or perv song in player.
For the first one I have found a home & search button switcher. It is called HomeSmack and its free on the Market. It allows to change the default launcher invoked with the home button (like the famous app Home Switcher for Froyo), but it also attempts to remap the long press that is bind to the recent pop-up.
This last feature would work if I could Clear Defaults to the Android app that invokes the recent pop-up. I realized this because is written in the tutorial of a task switcher called TapIt that I was trying to use. It says that without clearing those defaults it is not able to bind a new app to the long press.
Is there a way to clear those defaults? What android app is involved?
Otherwise how is it possible to remap the long press with another app?
About the vol up & down, I wouldt like to remap them ONLY in a song player, and have back the vol control in regular phone use. Is it possible?
Otherwise is there a third party player that has this functionality?
Thank you.

Home button long press

In every launcher if I long press the home button the Google search opens. Is there a way to open the Google VOICE search when I long press the home button?

Solution through App
There's an app called "Home Button Launcher" that lets you configure the "Home Button Swipe Up" gesture. In the app's options you can tell the app to directly execute an application or an action - it's called "Auto start mode" if only one single app selected.
I'm still not allowed to post outside links, so I can provide u an url directing to the app in the play store - sorry.

anyone interested or know how to change task manager hardkey to menu key

Miss having the menu key..example go to xda app and cannot pull up other options because of this ridficulous hardkey when alternatives exist for task switching. This will need remapping..have seen it done for camera and power but wondered if there is any interest in this. I do I not have a solution but am asking. Thanks.

remapped it in case anyone is interested
think long press goes to S finder

Good work, but long press is menu, I use it all the time.

--drl

I used xposed additions module to remap it. Also mapped the volume keys, home and power buttons to change music, play/pause and activate torch respectively while I was at it.
