Has anyone had this issue with the stock ROM? I changed the PTT button to Voice Command without issue and the next time I went in to make a change there were 4 new options for "Button" (see attached). 3 by default are assigned to <Context Menu> and I can't exit the screen with more than one button being assigned to a specific function. Don't want to change buttons unless I know which ones they are. Any ideas? Thanks!
No issue for me. I've reassigned both buttons, but have not had this issue. Mind you, I did not reassign PTT to Voice Command but to Rotate Screen -- don't know if that would be relevant (but I doubt it).

hi guys , i know this might seem a strange question but like most my stylus is loose in the holder and i sometimes need to use the keyboard to do most things on the unit and i cant find anywhere that activates the start option on the screen. I have done it by accident once but nothing since. i have checked the manual and it mentions it no where all operations seem to be around the stylus?
does anyone know what key combination it is ?
I have a 02 phone and unlike tmobile which has a one of the 4 buttons on front setup to do this as one of the defaults.
cheers in advance
It should be ctrl+escape on a full keyboard. It might also be enabled by the windows or context menu keys, not sure what your keyboard looks like.
You can use my VJKeypress to get this as well. I think it's keycode 91, not sure, check my website.

Why not assign one of the hardware buttons to do this, each one can have a duel function assigned either a tap or hold, according to the phone, in reality this doesn't work (unless anyone knows different - latest O2 ROM - not messed around with), whatever you set for a tap is also carried accross to the hold function, go to settings and locate the power buttons icon select it, then select the button you want (ok for example) then assign the <Start Menu> from the drop down box, press OK, the device might want a soft reset (mine did when I just tried this), when it comes back up hit the assigned button, and use the four way thumb control to navigate through the menus, it saves sliding out the keyboard and it becoming loose - Mike
cheers for this when i tried to reassign buttons before like the camera it wouldnt let me change them ..i hate the camera button getting accidently caught same as the record one as well.
cheers for the advance will do that would just like to know for my own peace of mind as well how to use the keyboard to do it, it should be possible.
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.
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

I'm not totally sure what mean by scan codes, but are these them: http://ae.inc.ru/aebpluscline.php ?
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?
Originally, this was posted by someone else at the following link:

The problem is, in this forum and in ppcgeeks, there is no clear cut answer. Truthfully, I dot really want to assign buttons, however, there are other options that are available for personalizing. Following this paragraph is my situation:
Phone: Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2
ROM: Stock - Windows 6.1 & Manila 2.1
I have a few apps, but none that should have messed with these settings (MS My Phone, Resco File Explorer (has the ability, but I didn't change it through it), Resco Radio, Resco Picture Viewer Pro, a few games, Office Mobile 10 beta, etc... The rest are all stock, coming with the phone)
When I go into the button config here is the settings:
Send Key(Hold) - Voice Command
Button - <Context Menu>
Button - <Today>
Button - <Context Menu>
Button - <Context Menu>
Button - <Context Menu>
When I try to goto any other tab in the setting program, it tells me "Each program button must have a unique button assignment" and then goes back to the button assignment tab. When I try to exit, goto the today screen, or open any other program it does the same.
There are three possible ways of dealing with this:
1. Deleting these other button assignments - The problem here is I don't know what buttons these refer to and if deleted could pose problems.
2. Changing the names - Not really changing the names, I guess to me, it seems that the system is assigning five separate possible tasks to "Button." Again, not knowing what these buttons refer to, if changed, I could have to press volume up to hang up a call and press the power button to send a call.
3. Hard reset - I thought about this, but there are a few places where there have been cases of people trying this and it didn't do anything. I guess I would rather try alternatives before going through this drastic a measure.
If anyone has ideas on how to do any of these (save the hard reset, as I know that), I would be very much appreciative. Also, if any one has any other suggestions, besides those above, I would be more than happy to try them.
Thanks.
Edit:
Thought it prudent to add, most of these apps (save of course Office 10 beta) that I now have, I have had through three phones (Mogul, Touch Pro, touch pro 2). The first two never had any problems with these apps and as they are all HTC phones, I don't see why it would cause these kinds of problems in this phone and neither of it's predecessors.
Sorry.. haven't heard a reply, so Bump it up.
such an story,, such an answer..
the best way to assign app/programs to buttons is with this program!!

I was just about to post that link!
OP, whatever it is you're using to remap keys, drop it and use the linked keyboard controller. It's ridiculously good.
Hey people, I've searched around and have not been able to find a solution for a while now so I thought i'd ask the question here.
The Touch Pro 2 has 3 softkeys: 2 on home screen and 1 in the start menu that says (Lock)
The two first softeys are quit easy to manage with different apps or directly from the registry. The third, however, is dedicated to the lock screen (phone) function and I have not found a way to reassign what this button does.
I would like to reassign this button to S2U2 instead using the WM6.5 original lock function.
I've enabled the appropriate options on S2U2 to over ride this button, but whenever my RAM usage reaches critical and Apps autoclose, it seems to break the function of this button and only a restart will solve it. I've even tried adding iLock2 into the task manager exception list but nothing seems to work, which is why i'd just like to assign the lock button to S2U2 permanently.
Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this ?
