i know you can assign 2 top buttons on xda and that you can't reassign the volume button but.....
can you reassign the scroll button at the botton which has 5 positions ie centre and N,S,E,W
want to assign nice ALTTAB program to a button and have run out ..
any ideas or can you use regedit to reassign perhaps??
nobody got any ideas for this ???...please
I agree task switching is ridiculous on this os!
shame really. prime example of this is ho tricky it is asking a passenger to change tracks by switching over to media player while you're using tom-tom navigator. Try it on a bumpy road with the xda in a cradle its impossible.
"can you stop the car" I cant use the stylus on the "recent programs"... :wink:
I have seen a solution
The previous owner of my XDA was using a tool that gave you (at least?) 4 buttons extra.
Using the two buttons 'normally' would enable the normal programs.
'double clicking' gave an extra set
'holding 1 sec' gave another.
I'll contact him and find out what the program is called.

hello...
is there any way to lock all the keys.....but still be able to recieve calls (and txts etc)?
The reason i ask is beacuse i want to be able to listen to mp3s while the xda is in my pocket.....
thanks

On phone app, choose Tools->Options->More
Hardware button Lock
'Lock all buttons except Power'
Sorry, misunderstood.
You want to lock it whilst it is powered on. Don't know how.
On PocketDiVX and PocketMVP, you can map the hardware buttons. So if you map both hardware buttons and all directions on the rocker keypad to something which doesn't interfere with MP3 playing (such as 'increase brightness'), you're all set.
I would keep one (maybe a rocker direction?) mapped to toggling the screen on and off to save batteries though.
sorry for souding stupid but...
WHAT???? LOL :lol:
i have no idea what you said.....sorry, i have only had my xda 1 day and i dont even know how to use msn messenger yet
lol.....if u could explain in dumb terms...i would be greatful
jay
well windows have smart key settings like if you
hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key the active problem close
and if you hold down CTRL + ALT and hit DELETE it reboot if it's win9X and give you the taskmanager if it's NT/2k/XP
some you can set yourself to do what ever action you want it to
well it's the the same thing with your XDA when you are running a program you can change what the buttons on your device does
so when you are listening to mp3 then you set the keys actions to something which does not interfear with your music playing, you can prob set these up in the program you use to listen to music with
and in the end a7GH add that it would prob be a good idea to set on off the buttons action to turning off the display to save juice
I tried jogbutton because I thought it added controls to the center bottom button on pocket pc with wm2003. I was disapointed to find out it only modified the contact button. Hopefully someone will find a way to and something like press and hold to launch fonix voice or something. Let me know if there is. Thanks, John :wink:
Think about it, the centre button is actually a d-pad, not a button to be assigned.
Yeah you could have holding down UP = launch a program but imagine the times where you've held it down for just too long and whoops. Instead of scrolling through the list of text messages you get a program come up.
I'd not want any extra functionality on the d-pad, except maybe in games.
A
Double Launcher will give you four functions for each of the two top buttons. Excellent app, highly recommend it! Dirt cheap too.
I dont really use the center button for scrolling so that wouldnt bother me and cant you also press in the center of the button. It just when im driving its a pain to shuffle the phone down so I can press one of the top buttons when I am using voice dial so often. K'now what I mean. :wink:
Hello,
Does someone know a solution for mapping the hardware buttton that normaly launch internet explorer? I would like to use it for X/closing cause I'm already tired to go on the upper side of the screen. i.e. when you put a new meeting with the keyboard, it is hard to go to the cross (up and right) for "saving" the new meeting.
I just bought this phone cause it has a good harware keyboard, but it's not important for me to have a direct access to internet explorer.
Thanks for your replies!!

Which button are you talking about?
I use AE Button to assign the Voice Recorder button to the OK/Close function and it works brilliantly. You can assign single press, long press and double press to different functions. It's a great little app that takes up very little system resources.
I'd still like to know which button is the Internet Explorer button because I didn't know we had that feature!
EDIT: Okay I just realised that you probably have the 16 key version whereas mine is the 20 key version
that's it, I've got the 16 key keypad. I really miss teh Ok/close button, caus I have to grip off my phone for going to the upper right corner of the screen and come back to the keypad....
AE button, doesn't work for this button, neither Vito button...
Anyone an other solution

Why doesn't AE Button Plus work?
I use it for OK/Close and it works perfectly well
So I must not have using it the good way.
But wich button are you talking about, cause with AE button, it only "see" the three external button (wich are on the side). I know that you can assign every button with AEbutton, but when I assign the internet key for ok/close, it close the app the first time I use it and then the key come back to its previous function (internet explorer). Someone a reg trick?
I have the 16 key version too and want the same, an ok button on the keyboard. button utilities only recognize the hardware buttons and not the keyboard buttons so there is no way to map these. hopefully someone will update their utility to include the keyboard buttons.
cheers,
cojones
"happy" to see that I'm not the only one who don't suceed by trying to change the function of the internet explorer button on a 16 keypad of a dual for using it with the ok/close button...
I found the camera button akwardly placed (kept launching the damn thing by accident) and dont use the camera much - so I remapped the cam button to OK/Close and have found this does the job for me. Not really a solution I know, but it wokrs for me.
Yes AE Button is great, but while you can map any key like Mail or IE, it will still launch the old app, we'd have to find a way to not launch the old app, in the registry possibly.

I have found the same. Has anyone managed to map IE button succesfully? Also there is a pause/delay when using buttons handled by AE Button, has anyone else noticed this?
any updates!? i think it can be done in the registry though i don't know how. hope that someone can crack this.

I have found a rudimentary solution. Add the IE key using AE Button Plus and run the following Mortscript (I am still a novice scripter) to close IE when it opens automatically and then run Opera Mini.
WaitFor("Internet Explorer",5)
Close("Internet Explorer")
Run("\Windows\jbed.exe", "-run s0_")
It works for me. If anyone has any suggestions on improving it, please let me know.
anythig new about this, pls?

Did anyone has a solution for this? Have been searching to change Ok/Enter and IE buttons. AEBPlus doesnt really work perfectly and eat into RAM..
Can we change registry? lnk? read somewhere about long_press_xxxx.ink but dont find it in our Nike.
Anybody found a solution for this? I've tried everything but couldn't map the IE button on my 16-key Nike to OK/Close.
I have changed my Diamond bay a Touch HD and what I miss more is the d-pad.
I really need it because I read a lot on my device and it is necessary to turn pages, etc. So I searched for a solution.
I've using remaping keys programs for some days, but they are big and have some limitations so I've done my own program with a very simple behaviour:
-Volume UP is remaped to d-pad UP. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad DOWN. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Double click Volume UP is remaped to d-pad LEFT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad RIGHT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume UP is remaped to d-Pad RETURN with Hold.Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume DOWN is remaped to d-Pad RETURN.Does not support autorepeat.
-If a call is being established or is active the volume keys will behave normally.
-Running the file a second time will close the resident with a small tone.
The program is small (7Kb) and remain resident without making use of CPU, it is simply a keyboard hook.
To install it copy the file werever you want and execute it. If you want it to start automatically after a Soft Reset make a link (DO NOT PUT THE FILE DIRECTLY) under \Windows\Startup or your locale equivalent.
REVISIONS

really nice app
but does it work in touch pro 2 ?
I've tested it only on a Diamond and on a Touch HD.
But the technology should be the same for the TP2
well this is brilliant! and it works great on my blackstone.
few suggestions:
- it would be a good idea to have command-line support so that you can turn it on and off easily by creating shortcuts or assigning hardware buttons to enable or disable it, or having a status check so that if it's on, next time you run it will turn it off and vice versa.
-it would be great to have both the "ok" button support and the "hold ok" button support so that you can load "right click" menus.. (you can have the upper vol button function as "ok" and lower vol button function as "hold ok")
wonderful work
it works perfectly on my HD!
Virtual button interrupt on HD?
hi all,
installed this on my HD and it works well, but i notice that when i try to use the virtual button to go <Back> (looks like a left arrow <-- ), now it goes up instead.
anyone else have this issue?
This is a fantastic app, will be useful specially for those who play games on their phone. One query; is there a way to remap the vol key buttons? For example can volume up key be mapped to left key, and volume down key mapped to right key. I say this because in Diamond and Touch Pro the Up and Down key on D-Pad functions normally, its only the left key and the right key that has a problem.
I just check - program works good on samsung i780. Is it possible to disable left/right/return function, but remain only up/down? Could you please add (in future version) any configuration file?
Best regards
Tomasz

Same here on the Diamond 2, otherwise, fantastic stuff! If we can either get the Back Arrow button to act like the OK, or return it to its former glory, we are good to go!
Brillant, and I agree with the ML idea
fantastic. been looking for something like this for my touch hd
Awesome app! It works great with mobipocket. You can easily start/kill it with mortscripts (put links in the start menu, and you can do it with voice command). Edit the path as necessary.
kill("\Program Files\VolD-Pad\VolDpad.exe")
run("\Program Files\VolD-Pad\VolDpad.exe")
well done job
Nice work thx
vol buttons as a d-pad
Hi....anyone got it working for worms world party?? Kinda miss that game after changing from a kaiser to a blackstone....
thanks in advance.
Great App! Thanks!
Great stuff. I would add my vote to remove the left/right functionality and replace with 'OK' and 'context menu' support. I miss my Kaiser scroll wheel
It is difficult to do smething that will be perfect for all
I'll try to add support for exiting the program (easy) and for context menus (more difficult).
I also revise the issues with the back key.
EDIT: Done
One thing, What context menu can be reached with holding return? I wish to know for testing it
Thanks
Usefull app, I will get use to it.
Does not work for the TG01! After soft-reset it hijacks the bluetooth, switching it on and removing the BT link from the comm manager. It will not allow delete from any folder where it is copied! even the shortcut will not delete. (Had to manually disable the BT, then it auto deletes the shortcut, andyou can delete from a secondary folder. After soft-reset it will again delete from Primary folder, releasing control of the BT!)
Hi dears,
I would share here our analysis/solution about the way to remap the Google Assistant button with other features... e.g. the camera.
Thanks for your collaboration.
I like the double tap for Lens. I like the hold down for voice. I wish the single tap would take you to Google Discover feed though. Seems like tapping it and holding it down pretty much do the same thing.
I'd like to disable it altogether because my big hands keep activating it.
Or maybe a Double-Tap to activate it (or any other programmed App).
Thanks, I'll be watching closely.
Disable Google Assistant key ALL MODELS
Here is where disable the Google Assistant key
I agree. I like the HOLD to open assistant. I love the double tap to LENS. I ****ing hate single press to open assistant. I constantly hit it on accident.
Disabled
I had it disabled from the start. It's an insult (as always) to force functions on you without options. I never use assistant and never will. It's a simple thing for Lg and/or Google to give us plenty of options, in this case, to remap to anything we like.

Important Note!
It is possible to change the assistant button to launch the Amazon Alexa app.
So maybe it would be possible to get a custom app to show up in the selecton menu.
(See attached screenshots, they're german though.)

Alright... I should have tried that before pointing it out... In fact if you set it to Alexa, hitting the Assistant Button will prompt you to change it back to Google Assistant instead of either launching Alexa or just bringing up Google Assistant... Which basically makes the button completely pointless...
Has there ever been a more pointless hardware button than the 'Google Assistant' button?
Root/Xposed is possibly the solution.
Is it possible to remap the button by using Google Play Apps like this ones?

Maybe some LG product manager reads all this threads about us, wanting the "Google Assistant Button" to be remappable to any other app. But maybe not...
Please don´t just write here about your anger, but start doing something more. Help LG to see, that there is room for improvement.
It is possible to contact LG via an email form. If they got an email from everybody in all this threads - maybe they´ll start thinking about changing something.
And please keep in mind, that one customer complaining means many more (probably thousands) thinking the same thing.
I wrote to them and choosed "Product Operation" at the "Type of inquiry" field and asked how to change the button remapping. If you want to write to them too - here are the links to the feedback forms:

PSA the pro version of Button Mapper now supports the LG Google Assistant button... not sure if you need root. I can confirm working great on stock rooted Pie with lots of options for the button functionality. It will cost you 5 bucks though...
