Hi! I'm thinking about buying a Z3 compact, and I'm wondering if one can use the shutter key with emulators. I had the Xperia U some time ago, and I could do that. It came really handy and made some games very comfortable to play, (ie, using it as the Z key in the N64 for SM64) But I've been told that now pressing that key brings up the camera app, so I wonder if this also happens while using other apps.
I would be thankfull if someone could test this. You can download Snes9x EX+, (it's free and a great SNES emulator) under "Key/Gamepad input setup" select "auto-detect device to setup" and the press the shutter key. If it brings you to the key input menu, It's ok. If it opens the camera app, I suposse you can't do that.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I've successfully re-mapped the PTT button by following the instructions from this forum. I imagine the same procedure would apply to the small OK button immediately below the jog-wheel, but I don't know where to start. Of course, the button is not present in the Settings/Buttons applet - that would have been too easy.
First, how to disassociate it from its present function (Start Menu/OK)? And once disassociated, what is the button code to enter in the registry?
I tried aebplus, and it sort of works - but the start menu still comes up on the first keypress if invoked in the Today screen.
Any ideas on how to re-map this otherwise useless key?
Thanks,
Mike.

You sound like a jerk for posting that I did not search when the reply prior to mine was 6 months ago.
Did you even read the thread? None of the links you posted had instructions/advice on how to remap the side "ok" button.

yes i was about to say. non of them have steps or even telling you anything related to how to get it.
all it says is people trying it matter and they failed.
if there was no solutiion you should have just said no solution, it would have saved you time searching all that and also us bashing you
the 4th link does have some good information, lemme just quote from it

The side "ok" button is a tough one because it has multiple functions. In programs, explorer windows, and settings it acts as an OK button but when you're at the today screen it acts as a Start Menu button. I kinda get the feeling we're not going to be able to change this for a while. Not until someone releases a keymapper specifically for the Kaiser.

It's really easy with help of AE Button Plus.
You can pretty much map any hardware key on your device with this great app.
I have it setup to be able to copy and paste by using the sliding keyboard and pressing Window Key + C to copy and Window Key + V to paste among other cool shortcuts.
Cheers!

Thanks Rayan. I downloaded the AE Button Plus program for my AT&T Tilt, and it is working fantastic for remapping buttons. I was able to remap the side OK button to lock my phone by holding it for a few seconds. I love the way it also lets you leave the button with its default setting for one press, but create other actions for multiple presses.
By the way, the phone locking works fantastic. It allows me to answer calls, but doesn't activate any of the other phone functions until I unlock the phone. That's perfect for carrying the phone in my pocket. Also, incoming notifications don't unlock the phone, so that I won't accidentally turn-on a bunch of applications while the phone is in my pocket. The unlocking action is very simple.
I've also mapped volume up and down to a long press of the soft keys. That alleviates the need to use the stylus to select the volume button. Great.
The AE Button Plus program was what I've needed all along to customize my phone. It would've saved me a lot of time.
One other note, I downloaded the 2.6.3 version of the program, rather than the freeware version, but I haven't gotten any info on the cost. I may be disappointed in the near future if this program automatically deactivates. Do you know if I should expect a disappointment? I would pay for this program, but I'm not sure how much it's worth to me, but I saw no information on the cost. Do you know?
AFAIK there is only one version, if you want the registered version you buy a license and there's a procedure to activate it, otherwise it uses the free version with a couple features disabled and a nagscreen once in a while.
Hello. I apologize for making another thread like this.
I've searched through Google as well as XDA Dev, but I can't find how to remap the PTT_Long button to use for an "Ok"
I know how to remap the PTT short and long buttons to things like camera, voice command, or any other program/software, but I'm having trouble mapping it to be an "OK" button.
The reason I want this is that I got this program called LoudTalks (walkie talkie like program) that uses the center circular button of the fuze to initiate the microphone. I want to use the PTT to start the microphone, because its more convenient.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Also, I tried going to Settings>Personal>Buttons and doing it from there but when I'm in the area where you're suppose to press the hardware button you want to remap, it doesn't recognize it. I've tried soft-resetting a few times.
I'm using the Elite RC3 Rom.
Thanks

I've all ready seen that. THat just remaps it to "Close" not "Ok"
Just get AEButton Plus and create a new button then you can map it either to programs or functions like OK with maybe a map for a long press to close. Grab it on my site or google it.

Check Dredsensor, it does what you want:

Hello. I would to tell you first, that I am not so good in English, because I am from Czech Republic, so I dont know what type to search, what do I
need to know.
I have HTC Touch Pro, downloaded latest FpseCE.
1. What BIOS is the best?
2. How to setup controller?
I am not sure, if is possible to do this.
4. Has anyone Touch Pro too and best ini for it?
Thanks for all tips, I'll be glad, if someone help me.
Check out the forums over at http://www.fpsece.net/forum2/ and you will find the INI settings, Bios you are supposed to rip from your own ps1, to legally play the games, but i'm sure that you could google them.
I use WASD as up down left right, and IJKL as tri, squ, x, cir. and Space as start, and QEUO as L1, R1 etc.
It is a great emulator!
surfing do you mind sharing ur .ini file with us as thoes buttons sound perfect lol
I just have the stock ini at the moment, and just changed the keys in the menu.
You have to click on the second button on the bottom right, where the controller would plug into, and click on the buttons to program what you want.
I only got 0.10 a couple days ago, so havnt had much time to play with it, but as soon as i do i'll post an ini.
I do love the program, and i'll donate to it when i get some spare time.
DredSensor could help.
Too bad the D-pad on the Raphael is so bad, the button layout is so much worse than my old Wizard. But I did find a possible solution.
On XDA, I found DredSensor. You can reprogram the Dpad keys for each application. I haven't yet played with it and FPSECE v.10, but it looks like I can:
Map "Home" and "Call" keys to "Left".
Map "Back" and "End" keys to "Right".
Here is an example of what someone did with DredSensor for the game TombRaider:
To use it, you need:
1) An HTC Touch Diamond (it's the only one i have so i can't test it on other models)
2) Install the .cab
3) Reboot your HTC
4) Run a game (or app or ...)
5) Get your stylus out and back-in, in less than 1 second
6) Click "Yes"
----- A config window opens:
7) Check that Type = "HardKeySimul"
8) Click "Ok"
Change:
- Home: "Key:0xC2"
- Back: "Key:0xC3"

So I've been experimenting with turning my Note 3 into a mobile media and gaming device. The media part works well (other than a few hiccups with my hdmi connector from time to time). However, I am running into issues playing games with my keyboard.
The specific app I am having issues with is QIII4A, with Open Arena. I can bind my movement keys in the game settings just fine, and my mouse works well. The problem is that my movement keys do not work, at all, when bound to WASD (technically their Dvorak equivalent, but I don't believe that's the issue). When bound to the arrow keys I can move just fine. Crouch and jump also work, Ctrl and space respectively.
I believe it's an issue with my input, possibly not repeatedly sending a key press like it would on a Computer. I use External Keyboard Helper Pro as my input method when I have a keyboard attached. I've played with the settings that seem relevant (pause before key repeating set to none, also tried do not repeat as a test).
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get this working? I could change my keyboard layout in EKH, but I'd rather avoid this if possible.
Additionally, is it possible to unbind or rebind mouse keys? Mouse 2 as back is rather annoying.
I'm running root stock mj5, if it matters.
Thanks!

So I've done a bit more testing and it seems to be a problem with any games. Curious to know if there's a known workaround.
On further testing, I noticed that as I hold a movement key I do get some motion, just incredibly slow. Seems that it is sending a string of keypresses instead of one, long keypress. This is also why the jump and use keys work fine, as one short press is plenty. Crtl, alt, and the arrow keys or "gamepad up/down/left/right" as they're mapped work fine.
I did go ahead and create a new layout for gaming, so in the mean time that is probably a decent compromise. Just wish I could go all the way so I could type and game with the same layout. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to post a walkthrough on the key remapping process using external keyboard helper.
