Mapping Close (Real Close) To a button

Hi,
Since SPB Pocket Plus is not really working with the Shadow, I decided to reflash from scratch and not to use it anymore. I got everything I need from other apps, exept for one very important function.
SPB Pocket Plus has a [Close] function that you can map to a button and it actually closes the app not just sends it in the background. I use the HTC task manager to do that on the screen, but I want to map it to a button button 5 to be exact I been searching for few hours now to no avail.
Basicly to review I need to be able to close (really close) apps with a hardware button (button 5). Please help. THank you.

does wisbar seem to run slow on shadow for you? I stopped running it because I thought it was quite slow.
@yozh
you can also do some cool stuff with mortscript

It is bit slow the 1st time to bring up the start menu after a SR, after that seems ok.
@yozh
I mean Wisbar Lite, not Wizbar Advanced/desktop. you can't run that iphone theme with wisbar lite.
Another option (to map the CLOSE function) is AEB plus.
mortscript is a little too heavy for me

Yo VIJAY your button is EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much

I hope so... but remember, AE Button Plus does much more and is highly recommende.
But VJOkButt is a very focused app, for one (and a bit) functions only.

I just need it to close stuff thats it, simple, and you app also doesnt close activesync and aeb does. so thatnk you again.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who has the actual '<close>' option in buttons in my Start>settings>buttons option? Has anyone looked?
That is what I use so I have it mapped to the usual CommManager wasted button since if you want CommManager you can simply keep the silly thing in your bar at the bottom.

[REQ] Action Screen for HD with 12btns

Hi everyone
Is there a chance that someone of you guys (your really great in this forum!!!! Have to thank you over and over ) could make a 12 buttons version of the "Action Screen App" released by Fabliv for the Touch Diamond?
See his Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422136
So for exemple there could be buttons for "sighs sorf reset app", a button for the calculator or/and a button for beyondpod or so. I think the possibilities are infinite!
Hope someone can create such a app!
Thanks in advance!
Ascenca

That looks like a really cool app. Would be great to have a main tab in TF3D for it as well, called "Shortcuts" or something.

That's a great idea, I would be very interested if this gets available for the HD! I hereby declare myself available for beta-testing if needed
I was thinking 12 buttons may be a bit much... I thought 9 buttons would fit better (the screen is only 160 pixels longer than the Diamonds VGA display).
However, when I look at the programs tab in TF3D, 12 will probably work fine

Yes it would be amazing have still buton for "soft reset" and maybe "mute","turn orientation screen" for example. I used action with 9 icon in my diamond and now still in my HD. This is very helpfull app.

Hi...
I have a same idea...
but i don't now for the other 3 button...
if you have an idea...
For Example: tom tom, igo ecc....
What we put ourselves in these three new buttons?
Excuse me for my english....

Hi guys
so is there nooone with the knowledge (and the time) to do the mod on the Action Button Program with 9 buttons to a version with 12 buttons?
Think many would appriceate is, most of all me
Ciao
Ascenca
Ps: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

bump please

For those who have tried, can you tell me if the existing 9 button version works with HD?
Would it simply add an extra tab to the TF3D?

Have the version 6.1 installed of Action Button and works perfectly. Doesnt add a tab in TF3D but you it will replace the left softkey button in the today screen of TF3D. Easiest way to start AS!
Amazing program in my opinion!

Hi Asceneca,
where did you find version 6.1? I can only find version 6.
Can you reassign the buttons? Does it run full screen on the HD?
Thanks

Hi tedkopp
the version 6.1 is only a 9 button action screen.
Below I posted links to two threads which point to the 12 button version of AS!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473059
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496759
Hope you will find what you are looking for in those threads.
And yes, the 12 button version runs full screen on the HD.
To reassing the buttons you have to deal with the xml files of action screen. Search for it in the forum.
Hope I could help!

That's exactly what I was looking for.
Looks great on the HD
Thanks Ascenca

if you would use the search button (just click search and write:action screen) you might stumble upon this also:

[REQ] Shortcut that restarts TF3D

Like many of you, I'm constantly trying to modify my manila files and TF3D. To see the results one must reset TF3D by clicking Start>Settings>Today>Items>TouchFlo 3D then exit, re-enter and enable it.
With that being said, can anyone create a shortcut that can be place in the start menu or programs tab that does that process with the click of a button?

Ok great, thanks for the link!

without using any 3rd party apps, patch, hack, i'll do it this way:
slide to settings, tap "modify tabs", tap "done"
and voila: TF3D restarts
not sure about the english wording as my device is actually german.

Remap 'home' button to 'start'

Along the bottom of the phone there's a home button and an endcall which, within programmes, seem to do the same thing - take you back to the today screen. Or, in my case the 6.5 CHome thingy. And the back button in most apps takes you to the home screen too - so that's three buttons largely doing the same thing most of the time.
The new phones with 6.5 preinstalled will have a windows-flag start menu button, I assume this will open up the new hexagony start menu.
Is there a way of remapping the home button so it launches the start menu instead?

That is EXACTLY what I have been thinking for the last days. Pressing Home-key should naturally bring up the start-menu.

Nice idea, even because reaching the top left corner with your right thumb(maybe for left handed it's easier ) while holding the HD with the right hand is a little bit tricky

I'd like something small to do this but I have a feeling most people will return with the suggestion "use aebplus to remap"

I have the same feeling wiggz, There must be a registry key or something that can be changed and put into cab format? Anyone got any ideas?

Me to
So, we are many!!
I too have been looking for a way to do this for ages.
I too will be watching this thread with interest and hope.

No aeblus cannot map the home button as it's hard coded into manila!

so as the home button is coded into manila it mean's one has to play with the manila files and remap to start menu all that would mean is to change some scripts!!
bottomline Home button in theory can be mapped to the start menu!! so it's plausible!!!

i'm going to watch this thread as well --- i've been looking for this since I got hold of my HD. I've already remapped the "back" button to S2U2 via AEB since you are correct, essentially the home, back, and end buttons all work very similarly.
Hoping that someone posts a solution to this!

i have the solution...install this program and you can change all the hard keys to do almost any function...i have mine set up to do the exact same thing that you want it to do!!
cheers!!

Thanks,but could give more informations to remap keys,please ? The list is empty when i launch the application ...

Same here. I was so happy when I found this thread..

When I tried installing that, it did not work... Maybe it was my ROM.
There are REG keys that remap home in certain cituations, i.e. manilla but I have yet to find a way to get the reg key to do anything else.
The new keypad.dll maps it to a normal vk_lwin, so you can remap it as you like.
Unfortunately I have not yet seen it an any ROM.

It is for Diamond and the author says here post 10 "For the touch HD, maybe you should download HTCAPI.DLL somewhere, put it in /Windows and try again". Haven't read the whole thread though so not sure if this is what the problem is.

i know its a little confusing to get it started...so heres what you do...install cab, go to program files\dredsensor and click on dredsensor.exe and a config.ini will appear...now close out whatever app you are using to view files...and open dredsensor...now you will see default under name...tap default and then click menu, then edit...change type to launcher...then go to click and tap the gray box next to the home key...go to events and chose Misc:Start, hit select, hit ok to comfirm, change whatever others you want to...then hit save, then hit ok to confirm...then hit exit...then you should be good to go...hope this helps!!

PSShutXP Power Button

hi!
I've installed PSShutXP and it works like a charm!
I was wondering how I can change the Power Button settings to assign PSShutXP to Power Button!
Registry? Tweak?
Thanks

I don't know if this would work on the TP2, but for the kaiser, you just go to psshutxp's folder (in program files if it's installed to your device) and copy the .exe, then go to the windows folder and make a shortcut and name it short_power or long_power depending on if you want it for just a short press or a long, delayed press. let me know if this works, I'd like to be able to still do this when I get my TP2

now working!

sorry just to clarify:
the shortcut I offered worked right?? I wanna know so that when I get the TP2 I can use shortcuts like that.
and does the power button actually turn the phone off?? cos when I installed psshutxp on my tilt the power button just turned the screen off. but it didn't turn the PHONE off

You can find an updated PSshutXP cab file that replaces the LongPowerButton press here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475762

Hi, i just looked at the homepage of psshutxp, however i fail to see what additional benefits i get from this program? Anything that this program does seems to be already built into the preinstalled software. Am i missing something here?
