Hey guys,
I unistalled TomTom that came with my P3300 so I could use iGo 2006 nav. software instead.
Because I removed Tomtom, my GPS hard key (1st on the left, lower line of keys) now doesnt work...
Is there any way I can map that key to use it with iGo?
Thanks
Miguel

Highlight button 1
Assign a program and set to IGO
It would also be a good time to start using a better app for buttons
I use AE Button Plus
It lets you set a button to do many different things
ie one press for Internet, 2 presses for wi-fi on/off etc
Thanks a lot.
will look into AE Button Plus...!
Cheers...
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

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!
Hi,
I use AEBPlus in my TP2 to change four physical button to run a application but can't get any success. Nothing is happened.
Is it possible to change home key to run a application in registry?
Thanks.
I'm having the same issue. I can "set" the back button in AEBplus, but no matter what I set it to, it will not work. For the Home button, all it does it go to the home screen (exiting AEBPlus) instead of allowing me to map it.
Any ideas?
Would love to see the ability to map single press/long press/ double press (single short-second long) to do different things.
Tried AEB Plus, it works, though not very well. The <-- (back) button does not work after adding in AEB Plus. But I can map the windows, and end keys. I kept 1 press untouched, and remapped 2-press, 3-press and long-press.
The trick to remapping the windows button is: press once 1st so it'll open the programs screen, then double/triple/long press after that. The timing to press is important...
I want to tap a harware button to actions other than the simple tap. For eg. the camera button. Tapping it should open the camera. Tap and hold should open S2P. Double tap should open File manager, and so on.
...something exactly like
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-sortinchkey-v0-6-2.html
But it doesn't work on my phone, and I cannot figure out it's settings, since it's a Japanese(?) program roughly converted to english.
Surely another program which does this exists! Any pointers?
NVM, I found one. It's called AE Button Plus.
Hi,
im using the i927 with OsiMood-Rom.
Today its the second time, that my hardware keyboard behaves a bit strange:
- When I press "e" the Email App opens
- When I press "b" the browser opens
First time I got it "repaired" with a reboot, for now a re-open of the keyboard helped.
What is going on there?
That is not a weird behaviour but a feature. It's called "Quick Launch" and is started by pressing and holding the search button on hw keyboard plus any key in the hw keyboard. the "E" key is the default for email (press "Search" + "E" = Email), you can modify this in settings > applications > quick launch
Thanks, I mentioned that it's something like this but I didn't know what other button activates the shortcut or where to disable it

Like me, you might be using the "Search" button (either soft/hardware keys) to launch apps a lot.....most of the time, I end up pressing search plus the first character of an app i want to launch that results in pressing the two keys almost at the same time. That is how I accidentally discovered it....
I was like searching the "Email app" then I accidentally pressed the "E" key while the "Search" key is pressed then I went "How did this thing know that I want to launch Email?"
Press your search key again on your keyboard it is stuck. Happened to me once or twice. Quick launch is launching your short cuts that are programmed because it thinks you are hitting a 2 key combination. (Search and E)
