More button assignment - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I was thinking
Is there any way to get double button assignments? Like a short tap activate a program while a longer one activate another :?

VITO ButtonMapper will do just that.

WM 6.1, change key mapping Back to End

My End key (the red button) stops working. Does anyone know how to change the key mapping so that I can use a different button (let say the back button) as the END/Stop button. The phone is working fine however, I can't end the conversation because the button is not working. It's driving me nut. Please help. Thanks

AE Button plus will do it. You can set it to any key you want, with single, double, or triple press, or even a long press. It cost 7.99, but much cheaper than a phone.
maybe I need to go this route. Thanks
Does anyone know which button is which number? Like to change the wheel into a volume control is it key 6?
I'm an idiot... not in the kaiser forum... damn search lol

AE Button 2.6.6 - 2.2.09 - Experiences

there is a new version of AE Button! The Button map application! Any experiences? Is there an improvement for the HD? Let´s test
Anyone tried?
I wish to know too =)
Is it free?
I have this registered.
The unregistered version is actually almost fully functioning and well worth trying.
I choose to register since I found the application useful and it seemed fair to pay the developer.
THANKS, for the new version alert. But, I suspect there is little new as the history details for this version are:
02.02.2009(v2.6.6):
Fixes:
Backlight works on HP 612c now
Languages:
Updated Traditional Chinese resources (thanks to Chow Yuh)
AE Button
I find this software very useful. It completely eliminates the need of locking/unlocking software for me.
I just set double or triple tap to answer and hang up keys. This will prevent accidental key press when taking HD out of pocket. To answer call, simple double/triple tap on answer key or simply slide on screen to answer (built-in screen lock will be unlocked during incoming call).
Set press and hold volume up to toggle wireless and down to toggle bluetooth.
This one single software solved all my screen locking + lack of buttons issues!! Believe me i tried touch lock pro, sensor lock, slide to unlock and what ever you can think of (I didnt like because I think its not really practical for me to be rolling phone 180 degrees or shaking back n fourth in meetings to answer a call.)...I know you guys may argue it has light sensors to unlock, but I'll be in meetings and presentations which might be low light conditions. I do not want to set very small for polling interval either. If you have tried all else, no harm in trying this.
if you guys face the same problem like me, this tiny software might be the right solution for you.
The best combination for me:
Gyrator2 (fine tuned based on my apps) + Lumos + AE Button Plus + Touch Response (for onscreen keypress only).
The only flaw that i could find to complain is that they should really change the icon...it looks like bread/potato/or whatever...
Headset Buttons
Hi there,
is this program able to capture the button press events from a headset wired/wireless?
What I'd like to achieve is, to switch to the next song in Mediaplayer as long there is no incoming or active call.
Is that possible?
Thx in Advance

Hi, I believe not. I understand the press events from headsets and bluetooth AVRCP are actually trapped in the hardware by HTC and by-pass the operating system and are sent directly to TF3D music or WMP.
If you check on the AEB plus site: http://ae.inc.ru/ it says the app is not for specific applications.
(Also: the AEB+ icon does look like a loaf of bread !!)
Will it allow me to remap the Home button on the Touch HD?

Nope. All the others but not the home button.
I have:
1. volume up. 1 press = arrow up, 2 press = volume up, long press = plamp (flash light)
2. volume down. 1 press = arrow down, 2 press = volume down, long press = resco notes recorder (auto)
3. OK / back. 2 press = rotate screen 90 deg
I keep the long press on phone end and long press on phone start handled by the system.
Dave, thanks a lot and you have some very smart short cuts
I may very well adopt them too.

Thanks, but I'm needing a suggestion for replacing the flash light. Never used this now "for real" so I shall find something else for the long volume up press ...
I have almost identical settings but use the long up as a bluetooth toggle. This is a fantastic program and really eliminates one of the few shortcomings of this phone.

Question guys,
How do I map the call button to long press (like the smallest long press ever) to get the Start menu?
Thanks
Sorry, I don't understand what you want. Is "call button" the "end call" or "start call" ?
Dave, call button is the left-most button that answers/makes a call. If it were colored, it would have been green.
I want to short press it to start menu (heres the tricky part, I have Quick Menu as my start menu).
Basically I miss the Start button from my TyTn II (Kaiser) and the scroll on the top. I have managed to set the volume buttons as scroll up/down and want the start call button to imitate the start menu button when I long press it. But I want to long press it for as little time as possible. So say 1 second as opposed to 3 seconds.
I see. So, two points:
1. Get quick menu
2. Use a "short" long press
I asked because the green/start left button is assignable in the standard settings - button to the <start menu> but I don't know how to do this to quick menu. I guess if you make a short cut to quick menu and drop this somewhere in the Programs folder in windows (or a sub-folder) then the standard settings - button should find it OK.
But, for option 2 I have no idea. Instead of the "short" long press how about using AEB+ with a double press ?
Dave, I see from the options that you can set the delay. I guess this from the "Key Press timeout" menu where you can select units of time starting with 200ms to 900ms. I am guessing that 200ms of time needed for a long press would be the shortest longpress possible.
Any how, how to assign the green button to start menu? It doesnt work for me. I have it as 2 presses or 3 presses or long press for start menu but nothing happens.
one problem it works to rotate(volume up which i assigned) but as soon as i make a call or recieve a call it no longer works untill i soft reset???? im i missing a setting or something? i have duttys rom, please help! : ) thanks!

[Q] Is it possible to use home and back button for something else?

The power button on HD is useless for me because I dont use TF3D.
Is it possible to use these buttons (home/back) to pop the start menu/close app?
I tried AEButton, but it does not seem to have an option for something like that.
Also,is it possible to change soft keys when using standard windows homescreen from calendar/contacts to something else?
Thanks
You might try spb pocketplus which has a button map functionality also.
AEButton works for the back button. (you don't need to add a new button : use "ok key")
Sadly, it doesn't for the home button

Any simple cab to remap PTT to do what Vibra Switch used to do?

I want to toggle between Vibrate and Ring+Vibrate with the PTT button.
If you're talking about the PTT button them my guess is that you have a Tilt2 -- and if that's the case then all you need to do is press and hold the far right hardware button on the front ("hang up"): this will switch between the ring you have set (presumably vibrate+ring) and vibrate.
Now you've got the PTT button free to map to something else useful. For mapping I would suggest the Rhodium Keyboard Controller (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240).
Yes. I do have the ATT Tilt Two.
I'm running the stock rom. I used Crud Scraper to remove the bloat. When I press and hold the end call, it locks the phone. I have no need for that function because when the screen is off on the Tilt 2, the keys lock, unlike on the Tilt 1. I had to use S2U2 on my old Tilt.
Look for the setting
I think it is start>settings>Personal>Long End Key to change the behavior of the 'hold end key'.
The link provided by pistou will do what you need with the PTT button.
I decided to use the PTT button to turn on the Comm Manager.
I copied it from the windows directory to the start menu, so that it shows up under the button options. Now I can disconnect data more easily for added battery life. Thanks for all your help.

Key Remap Question??????????

Does anyone out there know of a way to remap or assign a key OTHER THAN the power button to wake the screen?
The reason I ask is I am an avid fisherman and I use the evo / navionics app for water nav. I recently purchased a waterproof/resistant otterbox for my EVO and realized you can't wake the screen with any button other than the power button. The only buttons available for me to push without putting the phone at risk are the home, menu, back, and search buttons at the bottom. Otherwise I have to open the box to wake the phone. This defeats the purpose of keeping my salty / rainy hands off the evo (Florida weather and fishing).
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!

"Fake blood.......or is it?"
Nope. Remapping the keys is easy, but capacitive buttons don't work unless the screen is on.
Thanks
Thanks for the speedy reply. I think I figured out how to wake the phone. Ill just use my bluetooth to wake it by doing a redial with the headset. This wakes the phone and I can use it through the case. Thanks again.
