Raphael hardware keys, remapping?

Has anyone come up with working solution for mapping hw keys?
I found this thread on Diamond, but no help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398280

I am using AEKMap to enable both latin/cyrillic input on my TP's hw keyboard. You may google it and give it a try.

There is no need for additional software, just follow this post and you'll get the answer. Worked for me.

Try AE Button Plus.

I think you did not quite follow me here.
I dont mean to change layout of QWERTY, but hw-keys like "Back" and "Home" at front panel of TP.
This is becaus I find home and back quite useless and would much more prefer to have ALT+TAB (change program) and close program (REALLY close them, not leave running background as back seems to randomly do).

And that is EXACTLY what i also want to know....
The total lack of hardware-keys on this device is already disturbing enough, but being locked out of the option to remap any of them is truely horrid...
Anyone know of any reg-hacks maybe?

I've got Spb PocketPlus 4 installed btw, and it's got a button mapping function as well...
But when i go into the buttons map, some weird black icons appear with no name attached to it. Can anyone make anything of this? As you can see i've been able to map one thing only: the Spb close-button-contex-menu, which allows me to switch task KW-buttons only....
But this is not enough for me, i need ALT-TAB aswell and off course a VoiceCommand button.
And regrettably the Rapael doesn't have that many HW keys to start with...

I want also to use Home/Back buttons for different purposes,but I didn;t found a solution yet.

Gotten a step closer to what i really need over this weekend:
In the button dialogue (with extra generated buttons by Spb PP+4) there was only one other button that had a name...
So i tried this one and go figure: it seems to be the " <= " (or 'back') button. In the dialogue it's called the OK button. I've got it set to the close contaxt menu now, and mapped Voicecommand to long-pressed answer key...
So far, this setup is to my satisfaction, and after two months of use this phone finaly behaves completely the way i want it to...

Hi, guys.

Lol. I was on my machine all morning and had XDA open in one of my tabs.
Yes, you can map practically any button in AEBPlus no problem.

AEBP will also *learn* any keys it doesn't have. So you could use the "Add Button" option, press your Home key, and away you go.
The way I have it set up, holding down the phone key will activate voice command (default behavior).
But remember, assigning commands to the Home or OK buttons (that "Back" button is actually an "OK" button) doesn't unmap what they normally do so you will always go home first and then it will perform <x>-function that you assign.
Personally, I don't like to program the Home or OK buttons because I find that they are "trickier" to press. What I mean is, if you tap the OK button near it's center or close to the left, it doesn't register a press. If you tap it sort of with the long part of your thumb (which is more natural when holding the device in one hand), it registers it. I've tried this with two TP's now and the button behaved the same way on both. Due to this, I find it unreliable to map anything to it.
In any case, as I mentioned earlier, the Volume buttons, Phone and End keys will be unmapped once you attach AEBP to them but the others will not.
Oh -- I forgot to mention, you can map the directional pad as well if that is your thing.

It does work, but it sends an OK command first.
I wrote a little utility for hard-coded buttons such as these for another Pocket PC I had (an ASUS P527) called "DoNothing.exe" but we can't apply that work-around here. What I would do is replace the EXEs of apps the hardware keys called with my DoNothing.exe, but in the case of the TP, we definitely don't want to replace START.EXE (which I believe to be the likely EXE (haven't tested this)).
If I find a way to map those buttons reliably, I will let you know, tk_Berlin. So far tho, I've been quite pleased with just using the four buttons I mentioned. The more I use this device and the more I ponder my decision to stay with TFL3D instead of the normal WM interface, the more I realize that I don't need half the add-ons I used to use prior to having TF3D. I am accustomed to very, very, very *heavily* customizing my device, but the setup I have now works great and I really haven't lost nething from my old WM world. In fact, prolly gained a few CPU cycles and memory to boot.
I don't miss the Today Screen at all!!! Now that I think about it, I never really looked at it.
Cya!

Seems your digitizer is gone.
Connect the device in active sync and then try MSP remote allignment.
Use search button, hope you'll find it...

maybe the problem is that you dont tap at the screen right.
i had a similar problem before
look closer into the cross, you will see a white dot
tap right into the center and i think that will solve your problem
you just gotta be precise

I had the problem before. You need to change the touch screen,it cost about 20$

Try to shift the screen from horizontal to vertical (i had the same problem with an old rom)

It is hardware failure,that's all.I got one Alpine - xdaIIi like that.

buddy your touch sensor is gone.....i have the same issue......here's what you need to do:
Option 1: connect your phone to your pc via activesync, explore to windows directory and delete / rename the file called welcome.exe
Option 2: create a blank file on you pc called welcome.not and place it on the root of your storage card.
Option 3: use the MSP remote alignment.
Some people say event turning the device off then on again will kill the align screen but i can't say cause i haven't tried it.
after you're setup and all good, there would still be some applications that require a 'touch' some place....for that, since you (and i) don't have a touch screen anymore, the best thing to do is to get a MOUSE on your ppc
virtual mouse attached below.....just assign a hardware button to it to turn it on or off at will.....i use backlight button for it.....
P.S: was having some probs in uploading so i've renamed the file to .zip. just rename to .rar if you have problems extracting it
enjoy and PM me if you face anymore problems.
cheers

Hi junooni ,
I hv the same problem with my XDA IIs, and now my phone has been sitting in my drawer for 1 months.
Just some question, the above option that you stated above. After going through your option will the phone still be useable. I mean after that can i still used the phone to make a call since i need to use a remote mouse.
And also do i need to use activesync and connect it to my PC everything i need to use my XDA.

try taking out sim & memory card
i was also stuck on that.. this is how i got it solved, take out sim & memory card and to do it you need to take battery out as sim is under battery then hold two softkeys and reset button at same time and press 0 instead of x . now you should be able to go pass the align screen.... hopefully it helped....

Well.. it didn't help to me.. How can I browse windows directory via activesync? Am I so stupid or it's just invisible or what?

'Convert' volume slider to up/down arrows?

I have tried AE Button Plus v2.6.6 and looked at all the possibilities to 'Convert' volume slider to up/down arrows. There is no setting that I can find to do this. Has anyone found a way to do this? It states in the AE Button Plus documentation that this can be done.
Thank you in advance.

i don't know what phone you're using, but every windows phone i've used has been able to do it pretty easily.
in AE, choose one of the volume button and go to the button edit screen and choose "handle by AEBPlus"
select single press and then on the third drop down menu, choose "Press up arrow key" or whichever and you should be set

I use this and it works well :

But it's difficult to configure.

3/6/09 - Did a Softreset today and now the Arrow Up and Down do not work. Reverted back to Volume up and down? Retried what I did before, checked settings and they are correct. Does it matter that I have an Unregistered version? I do have the INK in my startup.

Maybe it does...

Apparently it does, because when I installed my old version 2.6.2 it does work. However, if I try to install 2.6.6 I need a new Serial number. So, the newer versions require additional $$$$$. No more free upgrades. That is really getting expensive now. Thanks for your help!

On the wizard there was a cab called smartskey which changed the volume slider. I can't remember exactly what it did though - it might help you.

Remove pressing MENU after standby.

Wanted to know if anyone has found the source to do this yet the guy who made lock2.0 He has done it.http://groups.google.com/group/lock2/browse_thread/thread/13c69be014e196ac

Have you tried rebooting after installing? Other users are reporting success after doing that.

Donate version only has the menu screen removed. Works great on my phone. Worth the donation. At least until A_C starts developing for android.

it works, donated version thought. and now has a password feature, its beta right now..

Maybe I'm a little confused here, but here goes.
I've tried downloading the free version just to see how it works, but I have NO idea where the heck to get different skins for this app?
Am I just a bit "slow?"

FWIW, how would you have it so that you don't press menu in order to get the swipe screen up? You would need to have the screen on at all times.
The difference between the paid/free versions are a nag screen. That's it.

Can't find it myself. There's talks of a "Skin Manager" - but I can't find it.
I should note that the Free version removes the menu as well now. He's doing the free versions 1-update behind the donate version. I didn't need to reboot, it worked instantly.

Power button. Iirc (don't feel like changing it back). Menu or power take you to the locked screen, this just swaps that screen for a slide-to-unlock.

Right, but this was a question for aad4321. Either the free or paid versions allow you to press any key to get to the swipe screen.

So I managed to get the different zip files with the backgrounds and whatnot onto my SD card and still no love when I attempt to change the theme or battery logo.
It says that it was successfully changed, then nothing happens. i've tried rebooting since then with no success either.
I was really looking forward to this type of app, I just don't dig the skull screen and grey swipe bar.

Lock 2.0 is a neat idea, but currently pointless graphical fluff as you can bypass the slide to unlock simply by hitting the home key. So pressing any button on the phone (home, send, end, back, or menu), pressing menu, and pressing home unlocks the phone.
If you were to take out the G1 default "press menu to unlock" screen, then pressing home twice would unlock the phone even with lock 2.0 installed.
Not to mention the fact that right now, the lock 2.0 home screen doesn't show signal (or even whether you have phone service at all), and doesn't show notifications. So I'd still want the option of bringing up the default G1 "press menu to unlock screen" until that's remedied by Lock 2.0

Mine shows the signal (upper corner) and currently activated devices (cell location / etc).
My procedure for unlock is:
Power Button to turn screen on > Slide to Unlock
Now mind you, I could very easily do Menu > Menu with the default G1. But I like to turn my phone on to see the time. The fact the default G1 doesn't allow for a background (a feature that I thought they definately should have included) on the lock screen kinda gives this program a boost for usage.
As far as I know, that is the same procedure the iPhone has (you press the one circle button at the bottom).
Seems like you guys want the screen itself to turn on to the Slide-to-Unlock screen by the sense of touch ..?

Those buttons don't have that same feature for me (I'm using the free version). The most I get when pressing a button from the lock screen is a popup that says "Free Version". I have to slide to get to the home screen, or hit Menu > Home Screen.

hmmm.. that does not happens to me.. i just tried pressing home twice and it does not unlock.. im using the donated version maybe happens with the free? :/

Looks good, but definitely has a lot of room for improvement. The menu still comes up for me, so I have to press menu, then do the slide to get out. I don't need an extra keyguard screen... :/
*Edit: The version on the market is newer than that on the site, I just tried and the market one fixes this problem.
HOWEVER, there is one other problem keeping me from installing it permanently-- the screen doesn't stay off, it turns itself back on by flashing the "Free version" notification -.-
Once I get a new credit card I'll try the donation version, pretty sure that will fix the problem since it will not be "free".

With the latest version there is an option for a password lock. You have to enter the password to access the menu too. Right now the password is 1234 only for now but once it gets updated it could lock your phone safer than the normal android lock.

Don't talk unless you have tried the newest version, which fixes all of these issues.

One touch _ power off

POWER OFF​
Only touch that you have turned off the screen. Small and useful software for two versions : Blue & Red Power icon.​

Little confusing. Is this for turning off device or screen?

screen, I think...

yep it is working fine! that was the only thing i had missing on my homepage.
Many thanks for the cab

I installed the red button cab and cannot find any app anywhere.
It ain´t in the start/programs.
Also did a softreset.
How to add?

Hi,
screen off can be done by pressing one key
But real power off for the hole device would be an improvement because now you need to press long and then choose shut down
any plans to offer that funcionality to the good looking red button
