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...
hey just making this suggestion for everybody, its something i did
I suggest remapping the smiley key on the keyboard to SEARCH and the symbol key to TAB, this way you can effectively use the quicklaunch shortcut keys on the right side of the keyboard, and you can use the tab key.
hope this helps someone
After getting a usb female/female adaptor asnd finding a usb hostmode apk tyuping on android is actually pretty nice. My problem now is what about shortcut keys? There is no search button or menue key because desktop keyboard. alt tab and windows-key tab do the same thing. Ctrl c/v/x does wha'ts expected, but actual navigation is hard to manage.
I know chrome/browser and gmail have shortcut keys, but since I can't get to the home screen or apps list from keyboard or in the case of IM+ can't use keyboard to navigate between convrosations kinda bums me out.
Yes yes trying to turn tablet into a desktop. Hurr Hurr go get a laptop.

If you hook up a mouse too, you can use the mouse and click on home and back, etc. So its very much like a desktop then. A powered usb hub works for that.
It looks like windows key + esc might work as shortcut for home, but never tried it so maybe:
"If you want to test things out, try pressing the “Windows” key (“Apple” or “Command”) + ESC, and you will be whisked to your Home screen."
http://www.howtogeek.com/175267/the...-bluetooth-keyboard-with-your-android-device/
They also list these and more:
" ESC = go back
CTRL + ESC = menu
CTRL + ALT + DEL = restart (no questions asked)
ALT + SPACE = search page (say “OK Google” to voice search)
ALT + TAB (ALT + SHIFT + TAB) = switch tasks "
Who knows what else is lurking out there...
Hello Community! My Turbo is rooted and everything. So, is there a way to remap the hardware Task key? I dont need this useless recent apps stuff, i want my good old menu key back but not even Gravity box worked for me. And i cant find the according key in generic.kl file (system/usr/keylayout)
MfG Einheit-101
Using apex launcher you can map the buttons to opening apps or being shortcuts for different activities
But unfortunately this won't remap the key to open my menu
I got it. Just edit the "atmel_mxt_ts.kl" file, it controls home, task and back button. I changed TASK to MENU and it works like a charm
