Hello everyone,
I can not for the life of me figure out (some of) the controls for Midlet Manager. I have installed Splinter Cell PT (v400 game) and it runs very fast which is cool but I can't figure out any of the buttons.
What buttons control the "soft keys" (left and right buttons under screen)?
is there a way to map 2,4,6,8 to the D-Pad for up, left, right and down?
I think this software is poorly written and didn't take into consideration the mapping of the keys as were there is no configuration for it either.
Thanks
Posted almost too soon
I figured it out. the left and right soft keys are * and # you have to hit Fn twice to lock the keypad ( you use the keypad for directional controls) and the * and # are the left and the right soft keys.
If anyone can figure out how to map them though, it would be helpful

Is there a way that I can configure buttons to do other functions? Like the PTT button to lock the phone and etc.?
Should probably search for this info.............but....................
may need to install device lock and something like VP3G's X-button app.
then go into settings\buttons and make the assignments
Anything
BUMP. I am also looking for a way to map the PPT button, to lock device KEYS. So i can stream music, with out fear of hitting a button and ruining my audio fun.
egoist6 Yes, thats the same app i had on me 8125!! Solid mapped to #5 on my 8525 Works now as wanted.
go for this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261277
it is cool because it does not require the device lock home plug in, can be configured via control panel und supports "easy unlock" (device can be activated by only two presses of buttons, with other apps you need two plus one for touching the screen).
i really miss hardware scroll buttons.
on the rhodium there are two little side buttons for adjusting the volume. i'd really like to repurpose these as scroll up/down. For example, to work inside a browser. Unfortunately, there is no standard option (i can find) to redefine the purpose of these buttons.
i'm hoping there's another way. eg registry hack etc.
thanks for any help,
Use AEBPlus
I am doing exactly the same thing with my Volume Up/Volume Down, I've turned them into arrow keys. The lack of these is my biggest annoyance with the TP2.
That said, I have noticed a little flakiness - most of the time they work fine, but sometimes I hit them and they don't scroll as I expect. Then a moment later they start working.
Anyway, it's much better than not having them re-assigned.
Incidentally, AEBPlus has a cool feature where you can tell it not to remap the Volume keys when you're on a call, so they can still be used then.
Thanks for the tip, i'll give it a go!
AEBPlus works? I'll try it. heard from another TP2 user that it caused his device to freeze up resulting in a hard reset...

Been OK for me so far
Yes, AEB Plus works (no hard reset), but I can only add the windows button. The <-- (back) button does not work when mapped using AEB Plus.
Also, if you're using the JBed Midlet manager, the arrow keys automatically scroll up and down. It works well with Opera Mini.
AEB plus does nothing for me... i just have a list of buttons I can't do anythign with, a giant memory leak and crashing.

Yeah there appears to be no way to open an entry from the list using touch alone - must be a bug.
Highlight one of the buttons in the list, flip out your keyboard and then press enter/return. It will open the Edit menu where you can assign that button to something.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! lol, I was wondering why people were talking so much about an app that does nothing
Did you guys install to main memory? I had no problems with AEB Plus on my 1.19.707.2 ROM.
I could assign the vol up/down keys and could also add the windows key. It is a bit tricky using the windows key as the first press brings up the programs tab.
I added the back key also, but couldn't get it to work. I didn't touch the send and end keys.
BTW, I used AEBPlus v2661

This all is my biggest concern upgrading from a Tilt.. I REALLY like hardware buttons, and make extensive use of AEButtonPLus as it is...

Press the entry in the list and keep holding for a few seconds more.
I've been using it since I had my touch hd and it works perfectly and I haven't found it to cause any issues.
Personally i assign one volume button to a task switcher (spb ms3 task manager) which makes multi-tasking far easier. You can then map double clicking to the original volume functions and even long hold to something else useful such as comm manager.
Awesome Tip. AEBplus Confirmed to be working fine on TP2 from T-Mobile (still stock rom for now). I made the volume buttons map to up and down like suggested but also made a long hold for volume up do "enter/activate" and a long hold for down do rotate the display.
my phone (telus rom) keeps getting screwed up when I install AEBplus and gets back to normal when I undo it.
Alright, so I've tried AEButton plus, and dug around here for 2 days and haven't been able to find a solution.
I'd like to remap the "Home" and "Back" hardware buttons on my T-Mo TP2 to Arrow Down (for the Home) and Ok/Select for the Back. Since neither of those functions are an "application" I don't see how that would work.
A friend of mine wrote an app for the ATT Fuze that allows the PTT button to be visible in the standard button mapping area, but I don't know what the scan codes are for the Home and the Back buttons are. Anyone have an idea?
Otherwise, I'd love an application that actually... you know ... worked.
AEBplus can map to key strokes. I have Volume Up mapped to the Up arrow and Volume Down mapped to down arrow.
So I think you just need to:
* Add Button in AEBPlus
* Press the appropraite hardware button
* Select the new hardware button and edit it (I think you hit enter while it is selected).
* Choose the action as a keypress of Up Arrow or whatever you want.
when I try to add the volume buttons as a remap I just get the volume changed... any solution for that?
When I attempt to remap the Home and Back buttons on my T-Mobile TP2, it fails to map them. I've tried everything.
Volume kind of works, but I want those ... for the volume

I'm not totally sure what mean by scan codes, but are these them: http://ae.inc.ru/aebpluscline.php ?
Aebutton Plus no longer maps vol keys w stock 6.5
Someone else in this thread is reporting what I'm seeing -
Before the 6.5 upgrade, Aebutton plus would let me remap the volume keys to do nothing on single or double press, then execute the volume change on the third press. I liked this because I've always found that I tend to turn the volume off inadvertently - and not just on this phone.
Now, it won't do this, and I can't disable the single or double press.
I've tried it with simplemode set in registry (one volume control, vs. ring and system) in either setting.
Does anyone have an idea as to what they've changed? I'd really like to be able to put this back the way it was.
try to use the program on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240. This is the one I am using right now to map my home key into start menu button.
Im having the same issue. I need something to remap my buttons in order to scroll up and down and open task manager. I have Sprint TP2 with the 6.5 update and tried AEB already, any solutions?
Cursor up and down in Inbox, anyone found a way?
Not me, but someone probably has already. It's annoying that I can't move up and down through the messages without selecting one. I keep forgetting to look around the forums to see if there's a solution. Hopefully someone will reply on this thread.
I use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller GSM/CDMA v1.3.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240) to add the functionality that AT&T (and HTC) left out...
I have the volume up & down keys set for cursor up & down on single click, default values (volume control) for double click.
Other convenient mappings - a long press of any hardware keyboard key with a function symbol has been mapped to the function symbol (no need to press the func key anymore). I've also mapped func c, x, v, and a to ctrl c,x,v, and a (copy, cut paste, select all). Definitely worth the time it takes to add functionality to your keyboard.
Is there a way to map the volume to the PTT button?
Is there a push and hold for the few buttons on the Tilt2? Want to try and get some of the functionality we lost that the original Tilt had due to more hardware buttons.
Thanks
It sounds like you might be interested in Tarkim's Rhodium Keyboard Controller:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
It allows you to map both buttons and keys - such as FN+C for copy or map a long press of the start button to open some specific program. It works very well (and more)
