There are a few keys on the front of the SDA that I want to remap.
On the front, there's a T-Mobile key and three media player keys.
On the right side, there's a camera key and on the left, a Comm Manager Key and a volume rocker.
Now, the fun part...
In the Windows folder in the root directory (WM5 if that matters), there are a few shortcut files. SHORT_xxx and LONG_xxx
Short is for a press, long is for a hold.
I've remapped the T-Mobile key to the Text messenger.
I've remapped the Comm Manager Key to my Program Manager...
...but here's the issue. Some keys are unmappable. For example, the Comm key, if held, opens the Voice Notes. I changed the shortcut to make it open the AIM client, but when I press it, the AIM client opens and then it quickly opens the Voice Notes program.
Is there another area of WM5, like the registry, that holds info like this? Or do I just have to deal with it?
would love to know more about this, as i have the same phone.
I also have a SDA, but with the Qtek 8300 ROM. When I had the SDA ROM, I could remap the buttons, but under the Qtek ROM (and the I-Mate ROM) the files (Short_AP1.lnk for instance) are unchangeable/undeletable. Can anyone help me remap these buttons?
Thought I might bump this up as I have been trying to figure out how to do it..
Personally im trying to remap a long press of the comm button to open task manager.

Hi there,
With the new jog dial button on the Hermes this actually makes the xda usable without the stylus.
One question. Does anyone know how the Push an hold registry works for keys.
Currently the record/speech button has two functions which can be assigned to it eg. "push" and "Push and hold"
The registry settings in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/shell/keys
have entries 40C1 to 40C7.
Currently I have the task switching functinality programmed onto the comm button but I wouldn"t mind Programming the comm button with a hold functionality for the original comm button functionality. And then having the ok button on hold to actually close programs rather than minimise them.

Push and hold is a software specific implementation by the Voice Recorder app - according to the SDK
Use a button mapper like that by Vito and PocketMax to implement press and hold.

hi!
i am looking for for 4days to learn how to change the programs assigned to hardware keys. but i can not find
i want to assign other programs to sp5m 's hardware keys.
it exists in the ROM platinium edition by nitrogenius as "ul tweaks" in "settings"
i am usuing WM 6.1 now and dont want to use the hardware keys to command windows media player.
haw can i change it?
no one can help???
First of all it's UI Tweaks (UI stands for User Interface) and not UL Tweaks!
To easily customize your hardware keys, use the appropriate shortcut files:
Short_AP1.lnk for Contacts button (sp5) or Internet button (sp5m)
Short_AP2.lnk for Messages button (sp5) or Previous button (sp5)
Short_AP3.lnk for Play button (sp5m only)
Short_AP4.lnk for Next button (sp5m only)
Long_Home.lnk for long press Home key
Long_VolDown.lnk for long press Volume Down key (VolUp not supported on WM6 - don't know if supported on WM6.1)
Short_Camera.lnk for short press Camera button
Long_Camera.lnk for long press Camera button
Long_POC.lnk for long press Communication Manager button
Just change those shortcut files (located in \Windows) to point to your desired applications.
Implementing a tweak such as my Hardware Keys in Control Panel is a real pain in the ass. It's a pain in the ass even when trying to describe it!!!
Not sure I got that..

Sorry about this. Will move it to the right thread now
Hi,
I have the Dr. Gonzo's ROM and, like others, it has the shortcut for bluetooth and wifi on/off (long pressing up or down hard keys). Is there another "shortcut" for turning the phone on and off or is it possible for me to create one?
Thanks.
Regards.

I use AEButton Plus to bind keys. I have my voice command key bound to soft reset upon triple press, open comm manager on double press and close active window on single press.
If you have an app that does that creating a shortcut is not a big deal!
I've found plenty of posts about this, but none about the new Fuze AT&T ROM. The new one has the PTT remap capability built in, but ONLY for short press. How do I get long press mapped in the new Fuze AT&T ROM?
I took a look at the registry keys, but I can't figure it out. I want to map long press to the camera.
Thanks
copy the shortcut you want from the start menu, rename to long_PTT.lnk and put it in your windows folder...
That didn't do it. It just keeps toggling between vibrate, normal, silent.
If you go to settings --> personal --> buttons, you'll find that you can assign programs to buttons, and the first two is PTT (Push to talk).
Well, i've never really used this, but the PTT button on a HTC Touch Pro is the middle circle button right?? I tried to hold it down but nothing comes up, by default the camera should show up.
I tried the other buttons like the pick up call button and it brings up the task manager, so that works, but i can't get the PTT to work....
The PTT button is an extra button for the htc fuze, that AT&T had HTC put on so they could provide "easy" access to their Push-To-Talk service. It costs money to use, so most people would remap it to launch other apps.
It is on the left hand side when the screen is facing you, under the volume rocker.
Here is an image I pulled from WMexperts
thanks a lot for your reply. Ahh no wonder i can't find it, my Touch Pro doesn't have it
