I create Long_Home.lnk:
29#"\Windows\CeleTask.exe"
and I copy this file to /Windows but it doesn`t work...
This trick work on my QTEK 8130, why it doesn`t work on S740?
Same problem
I also switch from Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) to the Rose and miss the long press feature much. Still get the problem to remap some of the HW keys to long press. There are different links for camera button and the other HW buttons than on another HTC WM6.1 devices, so the old tricks do not work. So please, anybody know how to remap some of the buttons - Home, leftsoft, etc. for long press?

i browes the registry of the wm2k5 in XDA2 O2, i figured out that that there is no registry for the camera and record button,. can we add up reg for camera and rec button
so can we? can we?
those key's registry are there.
hklm\software\microsoft\shell\keys
and those shortcuts are pointing to RAI assignments.
it would be better to write an application, which will unmap rec and cam buttons from system and remap them to itself... so if you press that button, this app will capture keypress event and will run camera or notes...
buzz
uhmm,. just a hitch anyway,. hehe
dats TOTALLY okih .. BUDDZ ..
every solution start also with a simple "HITCH" .. :wink:

Hi,
So have you tried with RegisterHotkey API? Here is a simple application that reregisters all hardware buttons to its window, and if you press hardware buttons a messagebox should pop up with hardware key id. Anybody can try it with non working buttons? ( I haven't upgraded my device yet ) I tried it on my wm2k3SE device and with Win Mobile 5 emulator in Viusal Studio 2005. ( It worked )
If it's working then I think it is possible to write an application as background process to start camera and notes application with windows API. If it's not working and doesn't show anything if you press CAM/REC, then it must be a driver issue (
I would like to thanks buzz for hiz extremely good work!!
I am sad now because of this ms guy
I tray this file and buttons rec and cam don't working, other buttons working
Why dont you guys use this freeware.
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus_t.html
It works great on my Himalaya with WM5 1.60a installed. But even without this sw my Himalaya dont have any problem with the Record and camera buttons. Try it.
I use this basically to:
- Unmap all the buttons including the Green and Red Button, and the Volume slider.
- Remap the Volume Slider to Up and Down keys.
- Remap the Green and Red Buttons as Left and Right Softkeys. This way you can access WM5 apps soft menu using only the buttons and the biderectional pad.
- Any other key you can map to anything you want.
because some device have problem with this two buttons and with or without this software they still dont work
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?
thx

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.

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!)
Ok, so loving my HTC S740 after changing from Qtek 8500. I know to initiate keylock you have to hold down the End Key for 2 seconds, but I am used to just closing my Qtek 8500 after a call to lock it. I also know you can activate auto keylock, but I need to keep my keys open sometimes. I would like to be able to just short press the Camera button to Keylock the phone. I have got as far as remapping the Camera button by changing the shortcut Short_Camera.lnk. Tried it by renaming Internet Explorer shorcut and it works! So far so good. But what shortcut to use or how to setup a shortcut for keyLock to remap to Short_Camera.lnk.
I know this sounds really petty, but can't wait and hold the End Key for 2 seconds every time!
Any help appreciated.
I don't know if it's possible by clean way without installing anything, but I have done this by assigning one harware button to 'turn off display' in AE Button Plus (which also locks keypad)
btw, I really like behaviour of some touchscreen htc devices where is device switched to standby by upper hardware button, and no other button can wake up device. It would be great to set up my S740 this way - anyone know if it is possilbe somehow?
hello,
I want to ask is it possible to make that i could change all buttons funcions including video call button and OK button. I use TyTn wm6.
In this forum i found program called Hbutton or smf like that, but it can only change only simple button which i can change in settings.
Hi
try Vito Button Mapper. It's the best in that category
