I'm using Des' slider hack to get the slider to function as an up/down slider on a plain XDA II. I wish to map the record button to "Select", (not OK/Close), but the settings/hardware buttons panel won't let me. Is there any program, or way to get hardware buttons to act like the center of the joystick to select things?
Me Too
I have the same setup and would really like to have a "select" function mapped to another button.
Is there a solution to this? Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello people here.
I want to use the home/back buttons for different purposes,that they are designed for. I am using AEBPlus software. With this software I am able to map much more functions on these buttons,but the problem is,these buttons are doing designed functions(home/back) also after mapping even they are unbinded from the system and handled by AEBPlus,so one click means 1click function and home/back at the same time. Anybody knows,how to disable default functionalities?
Thanks for help.
I have AE Buttons to ramap PTT with a long press to activate voice command. I use a 1 press to bring down the Start menu. But it also remaps the "Home" key to do the same. They seem to be locked together. Any thoughts. The descriptions of the buttons in AE doesn't do them justice. Can't tell what is what.
my PTT and Home button are mapped as the same for some reason.
when i use AEBPlus, i can do 1-3 clicks on the PTT, but i cant do the PTT Hold for some reason. any ideas?
topic says everything.
Just want to know how to map buttons.
cheers
why not use the Buttons app to remap the buttons? Start->Settings->Buttons.

It is very limited, only 4 buttons. You can not remap with it roller buttons - up, down, left, right and middle.
You can use Vito ButtonMapper

or
AE Button+

Sorry, I saw to late that you want to map the buttons through registry. I will dig into the registry to find the keys
I've got an XDA Ignito (Touch Diamond), and it only shows one button (voice speed dial) in the buttons app.
When looking in the registry there is only the key: 40C6, which is the Voice Speed dial, but no other keys.
Is it possible to add a key, and map it to a hardware button, maybe the ones above the phone keys, without using other software like AE Button +?
I have already tried with the keys 40C1-10 and it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any replies!
Edit: sorry I just noticed this is in the Polaris forum (was searching for mapping buttons and didnt notice!)
Guys, this is what I have done with my button mappings and so far it seems to be working reasonably well. Well, reasonably enough that I am happy with it/can live with it.
Now I am very nit-picky and am coming from a heavily customized WisBar world. But in my quest to be stylus-free (and loving the WOW-factor of TF3D), I am able to live with the device by making the changes listed below.
-+-+-+-+-+
1. AEBPLUS - Volume Buttons
o Remapped volume buttons to provide Up/Down scrolling
o HOLD volume up or down - normal volume control
I did this because the TP was rejecting calls on its own whilst in my holster -- you know, the "press any volume button to mute the ringer" feature.
Note that if you do this, don't forget to look at the "Restore Volume Slider" option in AEBPlus (that guy thought of everything). I have all of mine unticked. Also take a look at: Options|Other Options|Control Volume Directly.

2. AEBPLUS - Phone Key ("Green Phone Button" in AEBP)
o Press once = Phone Button
o Press twice = Task List (Swipe left shows Programs)
o Press three times = Action List <-Note the Cut/Copy/Paste here!
Screenshots:
Task List: http://auxiliary.razer7.com/tasklist.png
Task List - Swipe Left: http://auxiliary.razer7.com/programs.png
Action List: http://auxiliary.razer7.com/actionlist.png
ABOUT THE TASK LIST: The Task List (and Programs list) is all touchable. AEBPlus provides its own task list as well but it isn't as nice as the one that I am using nor is it fingerable. The one that I am using is a freeware program called "MortButtons".
Download MortButtons here:
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=list&category=13
NOTE: Don't forget to also download the "ClickLED" skin on the same page. This skin closely matches the TF3D colour scheme.
During my testing, I've noted that MortButton uses about 250K (if you decide to leave it resident (recommended!)) and zero CPU since it is being called by AEBPlus.
ABOUT THE ACTION LIST: The "Action List" (as pictured above) is part of AEBPlus and can be custom-catered to your liking. I like to keep it simple and simply have cut, copy and paste in there, as well as toggle Wi-Fi (which works on the TP).
··········
3. AEBPLUS - End Call Button ("Red Phone Button" in AEBP)
o Press once = End Call
o Press twice = Last Task (ALT-Tab)
o Press thrice = Call DinarSoft TapText*
* "TapText" is a little utility that allows you to create a menu with clippings in it. I used it for email addy's and more. Check it out. I find it very useful and worth the ten bucks to register.
Screenshot of TapText in action: http://auxiliary.razer7.com/taptext.png

4. About the Home and OK Buttons...
Now these two buttons *can* be mapped using AEBPlus, however, they can't be *re-mapped*.
In other words, if you map something to these buttons, they will also perform their inherent functions (i.e. the Home button will always go home first; the OK button will always send an OK message to the system, etc.)
Personally, I have left these two alone.

CLOSING COMMENTS:
Now there is MUCH MORE you can do with the above two apps in the configuration I've described. Customize it to your delight.
I hope that this post helps some of you guys out. I need to give back to this community!
This community R0X.
Thanks for sharing. Will try this out as soon as possible.
You're very welcome!
I was playing around with this setup earlier today and so far, it has been working really well.
Take care.
I have AEBPlus and it is working great. My home key is mapped to be the start menu on a single press and torch on a long press, the back button closes active applications on a single press. My soft keys are mapped to lock the device and contacts. Works perfectly for me.
I'd already re-mapped the volume buttons as you did, though for a different reason. I use MS Readern often, and find the circular direction button on the TP pretty useless - I try to press arrow down and get the centre keypress instead more often than not. The volume buttons are a perfect substitute.
On tip though - when mapping the volume buttons it works best if you map double click and triple click to none. Doing otherwise gives confusing results.
Excellent post Minus-1, AEBPlus is a program I'd been looking for since getting my touch pro and the Mortbuttons program is proving to be a very useful program itself. one q though on the button options list in AEBPlus which ones cover the touch pros 'home' button and '<-' button

Absolutely. I have only single click (directional up or down) and press-and-hold (volume control).
I often double-click the volume button to move up two elements, etc.
Excellent tip. Something definitely worth noting!
P.S. One quick note about the smartwheel: I used to HATE it but now I LOVE it. U have to get used to it and memorize the length of your stroke, etc. Once you do, tho, honestly, doing things become a breeze (especially whilst reading RSS).

Hiya, Yan2K!
I'm glad that you're enjoing AEBPlus and MortButtons.
In AEBP, the '<-' is mapped as the "OK Button" (which is precisely what that button means; some people like to call it the "back button" but it actually send a WM_OK message to the system).
As for the HOME button, you will have to map it...
In AEBPlus, go to the FILE|ADD BUTTON menu entry and press your HOME button. The TP will go back to the home screen but don't worry -- AEB is still running. Just click on your Quick Menu in the home screen (upper right corner of your task bar) and switch back to the AEB task.
Now remember: if you map these two buttons, they will NOT unmap their original functions... I generally leave these two buttons alone m'self.
Cheers!
thanks for the quick reply. I've created the 'home' button as you instructed, ended up with 'button #00ED' but cant get it to do anything either on 1-2-3 or long button press nor can i get the 'ok/<-' button to do anything either. prob doing something stupid can you help? ideally i want to be able to run a program on a long 'home' key press
Well mine is working, but not when TF3D is the active application. I remaped the (Long press) Home butoon to Second Today, and when I press it (long) it opens Second Today. Again, only when the TF3D is *not* the active program.
Hope that makes sence...
Cheers,
Cacti

Mapped the volume buttons as you did. Just what I was looking for. Also set 'back' to proper 'ok/close'.
Cheers.
I think,the original functions are hardcoded somewhere(dll or something else). We need to find the file and modify it to disable these functionalities.
I remapped the "green" button the following way:
1 press) Phone application
2 presses) Alt+Tab
However, now when there is an incoming call I can't use it to answer. Which is quite logical.
Is there a way around this?

played around with it and found purely by chance that just like you said you cant use the home button or '<-/ok' button to do anything when you've actually got the TF3D home screen showing. hopefully someone will come up with a workaround for this as although i can make use of the '<-/ok' button it pretty much makes the 'home' button redundant for anything else but its original purpose

Oh man, the OK button is one of the buttons I miss the most.
Specially while texting and such.
I hope I can remap some of the full keypad buttons as well.
I noticed that it sometimes doesnt' start up well, but oh well.
I re-maped the volume down to Ok/Close and Volume up to Start Menu
Then changed the volume settings to long hold, Which half the time when i press the buttons the volume comes up. haha.
hello!
I want to remap some buttons and I've tried with AE button Plus without success. Can you help me?
What I have is the call button configured for a long press to cyberon voice dial.
The disconnect button long press is for vibrate / ring.
what I want is to turn home and back buttons long press to wifi and bluetooth on/off and.
is it possible?
can I do this without AE button +? like a registry change? would be even better... or another program suggestion is also a good help!
Please help!
deiota
Is it able to remap the PTT button? That would be AWESOME.
dumb question, but where can I download AEB Plus?
I can't find a direct link or site to get the program!
Thanks...
http://ae.inc.ru or ask directly the author AE(here on XDA-Alexander Eltsyn).
So, is there any way to change the mapping on my keyboard? Like the hot button keys really get in my way, and I'd rather have a TAB key than a CAPS key, and stuff. So is this possible yet?
I am a Touch Pro which does not have a PTT button.
Any suggestions on how to reach the camera quickly? What is your quickest way to get to the camera?
remap the center button on your phone to start up camera
mobileSCR Gscroll, map the capacitive area of the screen(where the buttons are), really useful(can choose any sequence of taps to do anything, open application)
or AEButton... what' the use of a volume rocker? just use one button to get to the volume page and use the touch screen to change the setting...(one problem would be changing vol on the fly like during a phone call... that case, change the setting, one-button press = default volume behavior, two-button press = whanever you want, three -button, long press, whatever you want

Thanks! I will try to do this but I cannot find the built in remap ap on NRGs rom, still looking for it :-D
@paperWastage: Thanks for the tip! If I cannot find the built in software I will install AE buttons.
you cant remap the center button. i think he was being pedantic. maybe you can set a button to be voice command and say "start camera".
I just have the camera in the programs... Slide over to programs and press camera...

actually... i was serious. There is a fuze keyboard config software floating somewhere in the raphael forums. It might be able to let you remap the centerbutton.
but why would you want to remap your center button.

I have to agree as this is a very important function.
Mayne a Long press center button maybe more appropriate.
I cant seem to find any remap built in software on the NRG rom. My Touch dual had one which allowed me to remap some basic buttons like volume button.
Looks like AEbuttons is the answer for me. Will try to test it first and update you guys.
If you go to Setting and on the Personal Tab there is a Buttons setting and you can change the receive call button (press and hold of course) to whatever you want, including the camera.
Also a good idea to go over to the Systems tab and change the Long Press End Key Setting to Lock Device or something else than Turn Airplane mode on/off, god that sound is annoying when Airplane mode is turned on
it depends on the rom or software if you have the unlocked all buttons. honestly theres no faster way to get there than start > camera or photos tab > camera. if you dont have an american phone with a ppt button, there wont really be a faster way.
i actually did not mean to map the single click. I thought it was obvious i meant the long press.
using softkey manager you can replace one of the softkeys on the homescreen, as ur using an NRG rom im guessing your two softkeys on the home tab are "action" and "contacts"? ive got rid of the contacts, because a. i could jus use the people tab, or b. jus press the call button to bring up the dialer... and have replaced it with camera
the softkey manager should be under utililites/tweaks... it is on mine and im using an NRG rom
hope this helps.
Using Froyo, the volume hard buttons on my Nook color are hardcoded to Back and Menu functions. I have looking for a way to add full-time volume softkeys OR find a way to make long presses on the volume buttons change the volume. Another option would be to have volume controls in the notification bar and keep the bar open all the time.
Button Savior has the ability to have full-time softkeys, but nothing for volume (that I know of).
Any ideas?
You could use ClutchPad for this. There's just one item on the screen, but you could set swipe up to be volume up and swipe down to be volume down.
Thank you. I got it to work, but it's a little slow and the up/down swipes are a little difficult to perform correctly. I don't know why it's slow to access the volume controls, but I think the swipe difficulty may be due to the Nook's screen edge sensitivity. Overall, though, I'm very happy to finally have a solution. Thanks again.
