Re-Map Buttons - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way of remapping the hardware buttons on the touch pro 2, specifically the windows and back buttons to other functions

AE Button Plus works great on my Touch HD.

THanks for that, It seems to work perfeclty on my touch pro 2

I780 and Smartkeys / AEButton Plus probelm

Hi, I recently bougth a Samsung i780 (italian unbranded), I would like to use the volume buttons as scroller, I tried both Aebutton and Smartkeys and both are working almost fine.
Almost...
With both the utility the smartphone hangs whenever I launch the camera app, no matter if I use a program shortcut or the HW button, no matter if the default camera HWbutton is enabled or not.
Any other user faced this problem ?
Any workaround found ?
Any other sw I can use ?
Thanks in advance.
hi. I have had EXACTLY the same problem as I have tried to do exactly what you have done with the volume buttons. sometimes it works and sometimes not. . (actually I couldn't figure out what was making the camera hang - u think its aebutton: could be...). the i780 is a great device, basically my tytn ii but faster. slimmer and a far better form factor. mouse ideas is novel but it does miss the directional arrow buttons.
anyway. I haven't figured out a fix yet, just wanted to show my support for your post!
Yep !
Exactly the same here ! Hope I will find a software that works !
Thanks for your interest, i hope some more skilled user(s) can help us to solve the problem.
In the meantime I'm go to ask some help to Alexander Eltsin (the author of AeBUTTON PLUS), but I'm afraid that the response will be the same as when I asked about the the treo 750 problem (no device in my hand, not a lot I can do).
on my treo 650 and 680 i could assign a shortcut to ANY key on my keyboard (long pusdh). Anyone know which software can do this?
PQZ II, a freeware, can remap buttons, works on volume and the camera button as ok, and the camera keeps on working!! plus you can get more then one set of remapping using assigned alt and ctrl keys, really nice app, although buttons plus double, tripple press is great.
Also is there a solution to the mouse button not doing a long press to the "right click" menu like the regular dpad middle button or stylus long press? it's really annoying samsung not adding that, there are no direction keys so by default you cant even use the soft menu button because once you make a file it is executed.... nm PQZ solves this with the volume button, plus the annoying problem that the volume button works while device locked in pocket is also solved by this.
could you explain if its possible to remap the volume keys, using them has scroll???

can you show us how to configure it to remap volume keys to up/down?
Tested multiple version of PQz - it works and seem to be really powerful - unfortunately it is not able to catch the volume up/down on the I780. Any other key is recognized except volume up/down....
Ok managed to make it work (basically I've missed the flag to enable use of volume buttons).
I can confirm it works and doesn't broke the camera button!!
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
The 0.0.8c version did not work but the 0.0.8 works very well on the i780 !!
It seems to be a very good software, with many possibilities (like AE button plus, perhaps with even more options) and it seems to take less memory
Very good, very cool.
Tks to sevet for your link ;
Regards
anyone experience many crash of PqzII?
How can i configure the volume keys to do up an down?

Configure the apps (you can launch PQzII_Setup in the installation folder):
- flag "enalbe volume key convert" in the Window section
- in the Code section flag "use this section" and add a mapping IN= VOL-U => OUT=UP, IN=VOL-D => OUT=DOWN
PQZ II is not working at all on my device! The only thing I get is a little white square wich opens in front on my device...
Anyone who has a clue how to fix this?
just read the docs....
you have to tap on the square until a menu popup

MagiKB or equivalent?

I just tried MagiKB on the Pro2, a program which translates held keys and quick double-taps into shifted and caps-ed equivalents (eg. hold down "a" for a fraction of a second to create "A"), and it sadly doesn't seem to work. After a spell with the HD, where on the soft keyboard you could hold down keys to get alternative characters, I'm a bit surprised HTC didn't implement something similar on the Pro2's hard keyboard. Anyone have a workaround or suggestion?
When I press and hold the keys with alternate characters, it will give me the alternate character. but no double click ...
Did you try with the Touch Pro overlay?
I was hoping this would work myself. Haven't installed it yet though.
Has anyone gotten Magikb to work on Tilt2?
Thanks!
Looking for this too.

Hardware keyboard button mapping

I'm looking for a way to remap hardware keys on the touch pro2's keyboard. Apparently the rom I'm running had a different keyboard orientation, as not all of the buttons correspond to what they're supposed to be. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What hardware tweaks would you add to a Touch Pro2 ?

I would add a Palm Treo Pro
5 way Navigator with Center Button for easier navigation.
Overclocking processor to 800Mhz all I ask!!
TAB missing key
The one button I would want to add to ALL windows mobile devices is a task manager button. Then bind that to your favourite task manager and there you have it, simple multitasking without the need to go to the today screen

The PTT button on the Tilt 2 works great for that
Add in AE Button Plus and you can do single, double, triple, and long presses for even more options.
I would trade my zoom bar for ANY kind of hardware direction control in portrait mode...D-pad, trackball, trackpad, an 8-way cucumber, anything!!
I'd even be happy if the current 4 face buttons were set in a "+" arrangement, with a single short press being for direction, and a long-press for the default (current) function
EDIT: Yes, I know I can make the buttons work in that fashion via remapping...it's the layout that I'm whining and pining for
I agree, I miss the D-Pad from my MDA, the TP2 is useless for games that use a D-Pad
great photoshop skills
and +1 on d-pad

Sadly, I have a Touch Pro 2, not a Tilt 2
One of the very few differences between these 2 devices is the TP2 doesnt have a PTT button :'(
Otherwise that would be INSTANTLY turned into a taskman button

HP Elitebook Touch Control Remapping

I was wondering if anyone knew how to remap the touch sensitive LED controls on the HP Elitebook 6930p. I would like to remap two of the buttons because they do absolutely nothing. Thanks in advance.
