Is there a way to modify which apps the hardware buttons run?
There are reg keys to change the right softkey. I really want to change the voice dial one though. I never use it, but it'd be so nice to change it to something more useful like a task manager.
Which registry key exactly needs to be changed?
I'd like to be able to hook the two keys which are left and right of the 5-Way Navigation. Actually what are the official names for these keys?

I tried my best to change the "Voice Command/Voicenote" key at the left side (the one below the volume up/down keys). No luck yet. See the last posts in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794
Anyone else knows how to remap this key? And does anyone know how to remap the left- and right Softkeys?
EDIT:
Finally found the right tool for doing this. It's called AE Button Plus and it's great.
You can find it here: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
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)).
NOTE: This apparently doesn't work on all Fuzes, trying to work that out now. It worked with my pre-release, but I'll update this post if a better way is found. Apparently on at least 1 Fuze it only DISABLES the PTT button.
Bump, a few people have asked about this, so bring it up to the top.

I don't have means to create a cab, nor do I still have the phone, so I couldn't help ya... It's really not difficult though, if you want just grab a registry editor like PHM and do those quick steps. Another note, I think you have to hard reset to get PTT functionality back. Or maybe replacing the PTT part of the registry will make it work again, not sure. I know soft resets and removing the 40C2 will not change it back to working PTT.

FWIW, this does not remap the PTT button my Fuze. It disables it - which is definitely a plus because I can't stand the annoying PTT message that came up when I accidentally pressed the button - but it doesn't remap it to the same functionality that the Button 1 (Hold) has.

Well, that's good to know... Perhaps the pre-release was different? Check if you can add another button to your available mappable buttons. Instead of deleting it leave the reg key there, then go to settings>map buttons or wherever it was. Is there a Button 6 there now?

It shows up as available to map but if you map it to anything, it doesn't work. I tried press and I tried press-and-hold and I tried every registry key from 40C0 through 40CF. I have a feeling the TF3D is somehow managing the keypress actions but I'm not sure how. Hopefully once the Fuze is in full release someone can figure it out!
My fuze doesn't have button remap option
I think I've got an official release, and when I go to settings-buttons all I get is button 1 hold option, it's set to Voice Command, which is fine.
Advanced config has some soft key remap options, but ptt isn't in there.
I don't have any option for PTT/button 5 or any other. Has anyone tried the slueth pttfix cab that worked on the 8525 in great fashion?

Well I had the same thing with my pre-release, button 1 = holding send. When I put the 40C2 key in there it linked the PTT button to "button 1", so both had the same function. Not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than seeing an annoying "Initialize PTT service?" message when I hit the button accidentally while playing teeter.
when i had the offical at&t rom, i couldnt find a way of remapping. but now that i've flashed romeos rom, it's automatically remapped to comm manager. so i can turn on my bluetooth, wifi, etc with 2 clicks, real convinent

I'm finalizing my "lite" AT&T ROM which I will release as soon as I can acquire a Fuze and test it. It will (hopefully) have Voice Command mapped to PTT, and Comm Manager mapped to Long Press PTT.
I'm still working on the exact reg keys, and I've stripped out 70+ MB of junk, so the ROM should be pretty snappy.

Good (yet unexpected) to see you jumped ship from the Kaiser, I know a few people that are too attached to get a Fuze.

As soon as it was announced, I decided it was time to jump. I skipped the 8525 launch, and wore the hell out of my 8125 because, at the time, 3G didn't mean anything to me. However, the Fuze has improved on the Tilt is just about every way... I rarely "tilted" the Tilt anyway.
We, the end users of the world, salute you....
Next I'll be asking how to flash the rom and get the "traditional" black TF3D theme... lol
Thanks again!
If someone can figure out how to map it to be a camera button like the one on tytn Id be super grateful and could def make a paypal donation for the cause
I've tried this with my release Fuze and it doesn't work. It disabled PTT but it did not map that button to the same as button 1 hold. A button 6 does show up in the buttons menu, but when I try to map it to anything, nothing happens when I press it.
PTT Wont remapp
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?
Thx for help
Yea, a remap to camera button would be awesome.
Thanks.

Now that you released your ROM, could you post what changes you made to the registry for the PTT button?

remap
how do i get into advanced config?
I'm a new user of Topaz.
Could anyone know that, is it possible to use the application like SKtools of AEbutton Plus to map the mentioned programme as left and right soft button ??
I was tried to do that, but it doesn't work so far
I use the facility in "TouchFlo Detacher" to remap the left and right soft buttons. The left one now puts my TD2 into standby, and the right goes straight to HTC's comm manager console ("\windows\CommManager.exe"). It works perfectly.

I've got a problem configuring iGO8 to use the hardware keys, such as the volume up, volume down, and back key. I know the keycodes for these keys, but when I edit the keybind section in iGO it won't respond to any hardware key input. Did anybody get this to work on his Topaz? If so, how?
I'm using iGO 8.3.2.96054. These are my edits to the keybind so far:
x75="VOLUMEUP"
x76="VOLUMEDOWN"
x875="PREVSCREEN"
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Zoom in zoom out hardkeys really needs
The topic has disappeared onto the 4th page by now, so I thought I might bump it. Can anybody please help me on this? I have done more internet research now, but I still have no answer.
i think its waste of time cause when newer version of igo come out it will support topaz buttons by default.

In order to have working volume keys BEFORE starting igo you HAVE To change screen keyboard from HTC to default Windows one. HTC Keyboard is hooking to volume up/down key presses and iGo doesn't see their state.
How would I do that? I searched in the settings for an option, but I can't find a setting to change back to the standard windows keyboard. I have found a setting allowing me to choose between touch input and a keyboard, but the latter seems to be a hardware keyboard option as is sets itself back. The touch input option is selected by default, it's the default HTC setting.
Hello, I am using WM 6.5 with Manila 2.5.
I use Second Today, as well, in order to use iPhone Today as a program launcher (as the programs tab is missing in Manila 2.5).
I would like to set a softkey in Second Today that brings me to (manila) "home".
Can somebody help me?
Many thanks

I think you need to assign it to SToday Quit. I think you can change it in the SToday Settings program.

Thanks, I already tried this solution but this way Second Today unloads from memory and then if you launch it again you must wait a bit to load it. It is not a big problem, but I would prefer to maintain it loaded and have a switch to (Manila) home. Unfortunately I do not know which parameters I should use.
Ok, I understand. I have the same program and the same issue. I usually go back to the home screen by pressing the bottom right hard button "home" or phone red key. Alternatively you can press the top right "OK" softkey.
Sometimes you may want to exit Second Today, so I have assigned the softkey to do this. If you really want to NOT exit Second Today and assign a softkey, then look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416688.
I hope this is the solution for you.

In SecondToday softkey settings select left key and manila and apply to registry.
If your Manila soft key is set to Second oday, this should toggle between the 2.

Maybe I am doing something wrong...
Instead of selecting manila in softkey settings, try selecting 2nd today. Should work.

I do not understand.
Which version of Second Today are you using? Mine is 0.4.3.
This version gives the possibility to show and modify the softkeys both of Second Today and of Manila.
I have radio buttons to the left, one for Left Key and one for Right Key.
On the right I can chose among Second Today, Manila 3D and Manila 2D Keys.
Based on the combination of selections you can change either the softkeys in Manila or in Second Today. But there is no option to bring you to Manila.
There is no way to do what you say, or at least I do not understand...

I am running Ver. 0.4.0.
Remove all keys and start from scratch.
Select "Left Key" and "Second Today"
Title it whatever you want, I just use "Today".
Apply to registry and it should toggle.

Thank you for your patience, but what should I put in "Path to program:" ?
If I do not put anything there it does not work, I simply get the name of the softkey but pressing it gives me an error message and nothing happens...
Unless there is some difference between 0.4.0 and 0.4.3 at this regard

I did not understand before...
No prob.
Intuitively you would think that SecondToday softkey would be set to manila and visa-versa, but both actually have to be set to Second Today to toggle...
Glad you finally got it working.
