Hi, newbie's questions:
I only know the following keys have separate functionality when you press and hold them:
- Home - (hold -> invoke voice command)
- numeric 1-9 - (hold -> invoke corresponding speed dial entry)
- camera (must hold to invoke the camera function)
1. Are there any others?
2. I only know short_Camera.lnk sets the function, and obviously, use speed dial assignments to set the numeric 1-9 keys' hold function. Is there anyway to alter the press and hold "home" key, and/or any other keys?
3. What does the "SYM" mean on the camera key?
thanks very much in advance!

there currently is only a way to modify the VC button, the IE button(t-zones) and the mail button, the rest are hard coded into the OS as far as i know.
The ONLY workaround i know of so far is to install a program that allows you to assign hotkeys to certain buttons on your phone with certain press delays to open whatever program you want.
For example: i use smarttoolkit, which has a hotkey assigment option. showaco (?? i think) created a script to move files from \storage card\my documents\my pictures to --> \storage card\pictures so the pics would be shown on my homescreen under pictures sliding panel. I used smarttoolkit to assign a hotkey using button "M" ( is used "M" to stand for "M"ove). and whenever i want those pics moved, i just press and hold the "M" button down. I assigned it to have a delay of 1000ms so that way it forces me to press and hold the button for about 2 seconds,,,,, this also prevents me from accidentally activating it if i have a quick press and more importantly it keeps from the phone showing the dialing screen when i activate the script.
There is one other program i've heard of that can also do this, but the program name escapes me at the moment.
Great!
Thank you, pudgedaddy!
It sounds like this smarttoolkit serves the exact purpose that I am looking for. I will definitely check it out.
Appreciate the help!
i thought every key has a hold function.
Holding down a key will serve a different function or character.

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!
I miss having a hardware "select" button. Is it possible to configure the left soft key to act like a select key? i.e. to act the same way as a "click" on an item?
I've hunted around in Advanced Config but that only seems to offer the option of running apps
Normally the 'Select' is the Enter key, right? btw: It depends on the software.
What would you like to 'select'?
I'm using soft kboard navigation button for small file list navigation & selection . very easy because our screen is big enough

I wanted it to act like the hardware select key on some other phones - e.g. to open an appointment or a task from a list. It avoids opening the wrong item by mistake due to fat fingers.
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...
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

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?
Howdy, i am looking for a way to add more button assignments in the list, currently i only have the call button, when held down it rotates screen, doesnt seem to be a method to add more thinghs, like hold down back key, home key and volume keys?
(end key brings up some menu for putting phone in plane mode etc (not really useful as can do that in comms manager / turn off phone on a plane. so changing that to a better assigment would also be neat cheers.
hello all.
using this post:
is it possible to assign other functions to the button off volume control?
for example: scrool up/down?
There are many programs out there that address this. Search for button mapper, assign button, remap, etc.
Some obvious ones are AEButton Plus, MobileMagic...
