In the cooked ROM I was running on my 8525 the PTT button was set so press and hold ran the notes app in recorder mode and recorded until I released the button.
It seems to be a fairly common feature that about every *other* smartphone I buy has... And all the older ones and PDAs had it on their dedicated record buttons.
I just got a Tilt and did the regedit so I can assign the PTT button, but how do I make a press and hold start recording and do it until released? I can't figure out what link (or otherwise) was being called on my 8525... The closest I came was finding a Record.lnk in Windows\AppButtons but that's not it, because the link is bad on both my 8525 and the Tilt...
Strangely the Tilt comes with a new HTC app called voice recorder, but I don't see any real point in it or way to make it record like I want.
Nothin'? I know people have figured it out because it was added back to the Black Majik WM6 Rom I used on my 8525...
Made it so easy to record a quick not about where I parked or something to check on at word...
Try using a third party program like ae button plus or a freeware program there are many out there

You might want to follow my articles (even past ones); in the Sound Recorrding Bible, I explained it's Notes that you must look for. In Settings / Buttons, it's denoted as "Record". Just assign it to any hardware button and you're set.

Not needed - the basic OS supports this. Albeit, speaking of the button enhancers you've mentioned, you will want to read my latest Button Enhancer Bible.
Record isn't listed in the list of available programs to launch on a Press and Hold for button 6.
I can see it on my XV6700 assigned, but on the Tilt it isn't in the list ...

Now I understand what you mean. I've upped Record.lnk for you to http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/Record.lnk . Just put it in AppButtons and, if it can't be seen from Settings / Buttons, \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Thanks for the assist.
I did have a Record.lnk in the AppsButtons folder, but the shortcut indicated it was pointed at a program called: HotVoice.
I copied your link to both locations and was then able to assign Record to Press & Hold for Button 6.
Thanks again.
Glad it worked
The strange thing is, the broken Record.lnk in Windows\AppButtons, is ALSO broken on my 8525 but the functionality still works there somehow...
Thanks for your help! It didn't work at first for me, especially just clicking on the link... but once it showed up in the recent items in the start menu it showed up in settings|buttons and I was able to assign it to button 6 (press and hold). WORKS LIKE A CHARM NOW Even still seems to work after deleting it from Start Menu | Programs!
It'd be great if somebody could make a cab for 8925/Tilts that strips PTT and makes button 6 work, fixes this file and makes comm manager the default for button 6 press and record the default for press and hold... do it for the newbies... I'm no newbie (Started w/ MPX200... R.I.H.) but it took me a while to get it right (and the last step was iffy).
THANKS AGAIN though!!

I've tried this fix and have one question. After installing the link when I press and hold the button it opens notes not voice recorder. It works but it's opening the wrong app. Any way to fix this?
Hello.
I've developed an application for HTC Mobiles, and I've just received a Diamond. Mi app hides Windows Mobile, but in this device you can press the Home Button to exit to Today screen, and I'd like to disable it.
I've downloaded Dredsensor, which works perfectly and allows a lot of things more, but I'd need to implement it in my application, and I only need to disable the buttons.
How could I do this?
Thanks,
Enrique
Friends,
Reviewed the different apps out there butlet, hbutton, etc. Don't think these are what I am after.
I am using Monx rom ROMEos and the side button is for camera and voice commander. I didn't see the option to map wifi,bt,comm mgr, to the other buttons like home, dial, end button etc?
What I am after is simple - either a gesture where I can launch bt/wifi on/off or a button reassign.
Please help!
Dave
well people?
i need help here.... been trying out different apps, diamond tweaks/config and having problems here..
tvos
use butler
it turns the capacitive area into a 4 way program launcher
plus it lets you have different keyboards assigned for when stylus is out or in
and if you just want a launcher for bt/wifi
get the action screen some have those as options then map it to a softkey
do i need mortscript to use with butlet? been trying to avoid MS for the longest.. hate adding more apps to my ppc.
right now, my soft keys are programmed for something else. hence, wanted to use a bt/wifi on/off toggle vs. having to scroll all the way over to comm mgr,
please assist,
tvos
Hi all! Just a question, can I assign the device lock function found in the today screen to a hardware button? I'm referring to the device lock function that comes with the default windows mobile which we can choose to make it appear at the today screen. It's one of the plugin in the today screen.
i remember using this app called ae button plus. check out this link:
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
the app essentially expands the coverage and functionality of the hardware buttons. if you'll go through the list of functions, it can lock your device but it's only for wm5. i haven't tried this with wm6...though i'm not sure if an updated version has been released. i used this before when my athena was still in its original wm5 rom. but after upgrading to wm6.5, never found the use for it. secondly, didn't really use the app given that my athena, when closed, had the keyboard protecting the screen from accidental touches.
you could also try hbutton:
http://hbutton.dyndns.org/
haven't used it myself but i do know it can assign auto-screen rotation. not sure if the drop-down menu (when installed) will have screen lock on it. but essentially it works like ae button plus. and the 2 best parts of it: it works on wm6 and is freeware =)
hope that helps
Thanks! I will check it out.
I would like to assign Alt-Tab to 'Long press BACK' button of HTC HD2 to simply switch between tasks.
When I'm in a car I need it for fast switching between two navigation software(Oziexplorer and TomTom) .
Could somebody say me how to do it or maybe it is another way to do the same?
AEBPlus does not fit in for hd2.
Really nobody has a solution for this?? Thanks!
