I got the touch pro since few days, and somethings anoying vs the kaiser is the possibility to customize the button action by longpress.
I got the green phone who's switching from phone to flying modus...very easy when Im going to sleep, so I just I have to press it...
and the other button the red phone is now for the com-manager. But I would like to asign the longpress Home button for example or long press up or down...is there any tweak or manuel how to ad such button action?
Thanks at all!
[email protected]
hey is it possible, nobody knows?
I switch from the kaiser where u can figure out 4 or 5 button longpress and now with the raphael nothing?
help....;-(
Does anyone know if this is already possible? To assign a long press action for any other button but the end button?
Any third party solution?

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...

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!

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?
Hi all. I am ready to take the plunge and get the ATT Fuze once it is out here in the US. I don't want to flash it yet with custom ROMs. Can anybody tell yet (maybe by looking at the ATT ROM structure) whether it would be possible to remap the PTT button? (so we can remap it to MS Voicecommand)

Search, I already posted this.
Well, either a mod removed my post on how I remapped my PTT button on the Fuze or the search function ****ing blows. I can't find it using any of the key words and searching only my posts, so good luck figuring out what to edit in the registry, but I assure you it can be done.
I'm almost certain I've read AE Button Plus can remap it. I use it on the 8525 for MS voice command as well.
Black93300ZX said:
CONFIRMED, this is how to keep that annoying PTT message from coming up on American Touch Pro's (Fuze maybe? whatever).
Keep in mind, you can't individually map this button with this method, that may come later.
Step 1: Registry editor, remove HKLM/Services/PTT
Step 2: Create a key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys called "40C2"
Step 3: Create a string within that key, titled Name with the value being "Button 6" or whatever
Step 4: Soft reset.
From this point on you can remove 40C2, but your PTT button will simply perform with a press what your send button performs with a hold (which can be remapped easily... Settings/Buttons/Button1(Hold)).

Thank for the start on the reg edit but I still cant re map the ATT Fuzes PTT Button. I got the PTT alert Msg to go away after I Deleted its reg. and Button6 now show in the button remapping menu, but No matter I assign to it, it wont work even after many soft restarts.
Any ideas?

Well, I'll admit to being one of those who has said that, but now that I have a Fuze I figure it's time to put up or shut up.
Yes, you can use AE Button Plus to remap the PTT button!
Here's what I did:
1) Delete the value, not the key, of HKLM\Services\PTT\Dll (was "PTTService.dll", will now be "") and soft reset.
2) Run AE Button Plus, add the PTT button as a new key, and set its action.
Mine now brings up the camera with a single press. I haven't tried the double, triple, and long settings yet, so I can't guarantee that there aren't problems.

Hey I would like to do the same exact thing you did. I'm having a little trouble. I have successfully deleted the "PTTService.dll" value under HKLM\Services\PTT\Dll.
I found AEbutton plus but which version are you running? the free unsupported one or the newest one? Ive tried to run the trial version of the new one. When I try to add button the next sceen ask what type of hardware key I would like to add. shift key, win key, ctrl key or alt key.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using the current trial version (will register it later today).
I just left those boxes untouched and pressed the PTT button. The code #00ED showed up, and I accepted that. That code then appears in the list of buttons, and a press-and-hold on it in the list brings up the mapping options.

where do you see PPT? When I open the program I see a list of;
ok key
windows key
eneter/action
vol up

green phone button
Red " "
left softkey
right "
up arrow
down "
left "
right "
and I dont see ptt anywhere when I select add new button just what I said before. and keycode is 0000
Thanks for your help
On AEBPlus, go to File>Add Button, On Add Key screen PRESS the PTT button and you will see a new button named #00ED. You can then go ahead and assign different programs.
I'm using all the One Press, 2 Press.... Long press and it's working beautifully.
Hope this helps.

Great! I haven't tried triple and long yet, but I do have single and double assigned with no problems so far.
Great tips with AEBplus. I got the PTT button remapped by deleting that one registry key, and then installing AEBplus, adding a new button, and then mapping actions to it.
Anyone figured out how to remap the Home key? it's redundant with the red hang-up key in most contexts, so I'm thinking of remapping it to start menu or voice command.
Also, how to activate voice command with a key? I can't find that anywhere from within AEBplus.

Hi all,
Been looking around for a way to change my volume buttons so that i can use it to scroll up and down (using goodlink and everytime i click on a item it goes into that item and not do a show preview on the preview panel)
Does anyone know of a bit of kit that would do this job? Have looked at "advanced config" but cant seem to find a way to change/map the volume buttons to make them scroll up and down a list.
Thanks
Sorry all...looks like i answered myy own question. Finally found the below to sort out what i need and it works with the topaz!.
Sorry for the same and FYI the thread is below.

"What works for me is AEButton Plus (payware, no affiliation). I have reconfigured my volume buttons to single press = arrow up/down and long press to volume. The program has a nice function: you can choose to let the volume buttons have their default behavior during a phonecall.."
Fine, thank u. And it works on your Touch Diamond 2 Topaz?
yep works a treat on my Diamond 2 topaz
...i do have netcf 3.5 installed before i installed AE buttons aswell for other programs (not sure if that will matter for AE buttons)
im not really getting along with it.
cant see the optino for changing what the volume keys do etc.
Also, would it be possible to set a longer hold of the End Key that would launch the camera application and be used as shutter button?
Thanks
Hmm, interesting thoughts! Especially if the remap is done automatically, and only when the camera is launched.

I believe this issue with scrolling will be resolved with WM6.5 when you can slide the bar up/down to do a selection. In the meantime I use a simple method to scroll/select - say a SMS message. I open the abc phone pad (icon at bottom of screen) and then use the up/down keys (at the bottom) to scroll.
AE Button Plus
Just to confirm.. AE Button Plus DOES allow you to remap the volume buttons to up/down arrows. Just installed it on mine (Touch Diamond 2) and it works perfect.
The setting-up routine isn't obvious though.
When you see your list of keys in AEBP, pres and HOLD on the "Volume up" item. Takes a few seconds for the config menu to pop up.
I then used the following options from the config screen:-
3. Handle by AEBPlus
1. Single Press
5. Press Up arrow key
Then do the same for the Volume Down key, obviously changing the last option to 6. Press Down arrow key.
Then File/Save & Exit, and off you go.

This program can assign any of the hardware buttons to do what you want...
I've set the back button Launch the 'camera' app if it is held for a while and to act as the capture button when taking a picture. It also acts like a normal 'back' button when in other apps such as file explorer,opera, etc.

This program is much better than AEB.
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

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 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.
