Is there a way to add buttons to the button list in "Parameters/Personnal/Buttons"
By default, there's only "Button 1(Hold)" in the list, why can't also use the "Start menu button(hold)" and the "OK button (Hold)" ? Is there a way to add these (for example to run "Tom Tom" or turn Wifi ON/OFF etc.)

You can try AE Button Plus, http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

I am looking for a software that will enable me to launch an application by clicking on the symbol button (or any non-standard HW button).
I have browsed over a few, Button Mapper, AE Buttons Plus, PQz, but haven't found one that does this.
Do you know of such?

You can use PQzII for this: In the PQz_Setup -> program tab add a new entry:
Key/Code = [none] [SYM]
and in Name put it the exact path of the program you want to launch.
Press OK, and remember to tick the "Use this function" checkbox.
Mind you, once you assign this button to PQz, you can't use it for anything else while PQz is running.
Hope this helps.
Eran.
will PqZ disable the camera HW buttons once I use it?

Hello,
I use AE button plus to manage & configure my hardware keys on my Pro2.
I can easily define some functional for windows, Green/Red phone key.
But I couldn't define any functionality for Arrow key(back key or the key on the left side of windows key). I tried to use "Add Button" feature to access this key but it doesn't work anymore.
I like to know, how I can change Arrow key functionality by AEbuttonPlus or registery manipulation.
Thanks a lot.
plz any help?
Would like to know this as well... I can't map the Back key

Have you tried Rhodium Keyboard Control?

Notice there's separate GSM (tmob/ATT) and CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) versions

I use AE Button Plus with my Tilt 2 WinMo 6.5. I used the OK key for what I suppose you are calling the arrow key. On my Tilt 2, that key is used as an OK/Close key except in the browser where it is used as a Back key. Here is an AEBPlus report showing how I remapped that key.
* OK key (4075):
1: Ok/Close
2: Press Right arrow key
3: "Calculator"
Long: Close active application
I'm also use SPB Mobile Shell so some of the items I mapped are SPB functions.
Here is a copy of the report:

Is there any way to map a a hardware key (or better yet, a long-key press) to camera action? I miss my the camera button the most from my wizard.
Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons.
I have my PTT button mapped to my camera but I'm using the Tilt2. I don't think the TP2 has one of those though =/
Thanks for the tip.
I can use buttons to load the camera application, but i still need to hit the screen to take a picture. Is the functionality different on your Tilt2? Ideally i would like to have a hardware button for the camera action.
On the tilt2 I can press the same hardware button that launches the camera to take a picture. Not sure about the functionality difference though
Try looking for the "Keyboard Config" app. I forget where I got it, but it lets you remap any buttons to anything.
It may be a restriction of the rom (deepshining). Thanks for confirming it should work

i just set the favorite "star" button to be the shutter, in Settings->Button
The Enter key actually acts as the shutter button in the Camera application.
Use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller to map any key you want to this key.

Hello,
I want to change 'back' and 'menu' keys, so 'back' to be on the rigth side and 'menu' on the left. Like Samsung (I owned one). I prefer 'back' near my finger, it is more confortable.
I have been investigating. I have found a tool here in xda called buttonremapper, but after download and test, it does not work. Also it looks a bit abandoning, so it is possible it does not work for newer devices.
I have also test xposed framework + gravity box, but it has only the option to program 'long press' and 'double touch'. Under navigation bar there is an option to do what I want, but it only do it activating 'buttons in screen', so that is not a solution for me.
I suspect there is a way to do it modifying values in a /system/usr/keyloyout file, but dont know which and what modifications.
have somebody experience doing this for our device? is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks,

I answer myself: it is possible modifyind the file /system/usr/keypad_8064.kl , changing the balues 'back' <-> 'menu'. It is even possible to assign buttons in another way, like right: home, center: menu and left: back.
Code:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 115 VOLUME_UP
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
Just change keys 139 BACK and 158 Menu
You will find it in usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl
can someone provide me n4/S5 key map?
menu key replaced with multitask key Please !!
done with menu key to multitasking but missing 3 dot menu key on stock app...
