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!
Hey all,
Can someone help with a how to on assigning functions to the home and back buttons on the HD.
I've been able to map the other buttons, Volume up/down, call & hang-up.
Just thought while typing this, is it possible to assign to the power button also?
Thanks all
Wayne
Hi, I 99.9% sure that the home button may not be mapped (yet ??) with AEB Plus.
But the "Back" button is the "OK" button in AEB Plus.
Power I don't know about - I suspect not available to AEB+
Hi,
I have the following problem with AE Button plus with my Touch HD.
I had the problem with closing the phone during i was taking it out of my pocket.
I installed AE Button plus and assigned only to the Red button a function. All is OK, when the phone is ringing the Red button is not working, but the problem is, that when i pick up, it is not working again and i have to end the call with the touch screen button and it is very annoying.Is it possible this Red button function to work only up to the moment i have answered and after that to have normal button functionallity?
PS. Sorry for my bad English!
AE Button Plus - please help
Please, help me with the above issue!
Thanks in advance!
why is it annoying to use the touch screen to end the call?
I would suggest to leave alone the single click of red button but instead map a double click function you want to the red button.
I've had this problem previously. I love AEBPlus and think it is probably the best app on the phone. You need to uncheck the option under 'other options' for 'drop on red key'. Paradoxically this should not be checked. When checked I cannot drop on red key but when unchecked I can end call using this hardway end key. Let me know how you get on!
The AE Button Plus didn't seem to work on my Blackstone (HD). It would work after being reset but after a while, the mapping has no effect anymore. I want to map the volume up/down button to "Up/Down Arrow" and the Long Press of the Volume Up button to run the S2U2 application. Anyone has similar issues?
I have problems with AEButton too. I assign "volume up" to turn display on/off at one click. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it brings up the voume control. Annoying.

That is exactly my problem. I should not have paid for the software if I knew that it works intermittently.
Do you have some taskbar installed? Try to remove.
Hey,
The power button on my TP2 doesn't work anymore (bad contacts) and I'm able to get around this using WinMo with a simple keyboard remapper to move the functionality to another key. Obviously this isn't a HUGE issue, but I don't have a dedicated home button.
Just wondering if there is any way to do it - even if I had to remap one of the keys on my kb to home would be nice.

In Android your power button is actually the end call button, just like on Android devices.
thanks for the reply reefer. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough then.
The end call button does indeed turn the phone on/off, but the power button that turns the screen on and off in WinMO is the home button in Android, and it doesn't work on my phone (due to me dropping it a few times...)
Hi,
1) Does anyone have Voice Action command dialing working? Whenever I try to do it all I get is a numberof suggested Google search results for "call xxx yyy". Now most of my contacts are Swedish names and I guess that may be a bit difficult (?) but I get the same result also for the English named contacts in my phone. Can the fact that all my contacts are imported from Exchange be a reason for this?
2) I cannot, for the life of me, get the screen-shot function to work. I press the power button and then the vol-down button and all that happens is that the volume indicator comes up and goes down to "silent". And "yes" I am keeping the powerbutton pressed the whole time. Any thoughts on what I've missed?
Grateful for any ideas that'll make me appreciate this otherwise very slick piece of hardware...
Cheers/M

You need to press the volume down & power buttons simultaneously to create a screenshot.
