Tweak - change function of wired headset button - HTC Vox

Ok here is a little cab that I've built that will allow you to change what program is launched on a long press on the wired headset.
I've been able to make this thanks to busterleguster.
After installation your button will launch windows media player but you will now be able to choose !
To change this go in your favorite registry editing program and
change the "path" value in HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand and enter the location of the program you want.
I've been looking for such a tweak a long time, I guess a few other people too. Enjoy

Ahh, much better! Nice and clean

why so much unnecessary efforts and headache when you have AE Button Plus 2.6, ha!

AEBplus 2.6, tried that, didn't register the button when pressed. Which setting did you use, oh clever one ?

Would it be possible to use that button to go to the next track or toggle play/pause of Windows Media player?

because Aebutton is not free ?
SypherNL : sure if a shortcut exists it should be possible. I don't know one though but I have never searched for this.

Good idea SypherNL! It would be really nice to be able to go to the next track with just a click on the headset button. Preferably not with WMP because it shortens the battery life to much.
Can anyone create such a shortcut?
Thanks,
Daniel

Well, you can do that on your own, if you knew the shortcut for the next button (and it's highly unlikely that there is one). Just change the registry key to that shortcut!

Great!
Thanks! This is great! My bluetrek st1 headphones broke this week and I had to start using the wired headphones again. The wire is annoying and there's no A2DP controls, but at least I can control my phone with this button tweak and msvc now.
PS I tried AEBplus and I couldn't get it to work. This was much quicker, easier, free and it works! Thanks again!

Tried creating a shorcut for going to next track in Audio Manager:
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "next"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "%next%"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe ,"next"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "Next"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "Forward"
etc.
No Use. Any suggestions ?

HI Dr. Martin Gonzo and thanks for your .cab.
I've tryed it on 1.37 FR/orange rom and it works very well.
I've changed "path" value in HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand to voicecommand.exe (witch doesn't exists before install your utility) and now i can control my diamond with voicecommand using headset button.
I have to say that this solution works with the rc e100 wired while holding the hang off button.
You should send your work to rom cooker as aztor or another to include it in their rom to assign headset button action.

Hello, I tried the program on my new Omnia, but it doesn't work. It allways open the telephone and it is no function when I press the button long. Does it not work on Omnia, or do I something wrong?

Perfect!
This works on my HD too! i was looking for this functionality for ages! this thread should be exposed more! as the whole world is searching for a solution! I'm going to create a link to this thread in the main forum!
Thanks a alot!

1. nope - the only app to support the SP platform, AEBPlus, doesn't support app-specific settings
2. yes, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337602
Menneisyys i just wanted to change the Vox's QuickNotes hardware button to point to Vito Audionotes... will i be able to do it in any manner?
I don't know Vox, but usually there is a ??.lnk file (with ?? as the name of the button, or something like short_ap1.lnk), that is just a shortcut to the app.
Just edit the shortcut; I open the lnk file with vieka wordpad...
Try

Pointui 1.02b with SmartPhones support

works good on my vox (with dr. gonzo guava rom 0.5) and looks perfect. (i am using black theme). i didnt notice any bugs yet and its so fast too.
http://pointui.com/Home.aspx
little hint:
to unlock keyboard you have to press "up", then "down" on d-pad.
(thx h4waii)
Tried it a while ago on my Vox, only issue is that it doesn't run at the system level - so backing out with the End call button will exit the application completely.
BTW, you don't have to push center on the d-pad to unlock. Just up and down or even down and up quickly will work. Hopefully they add more support for skins and add the ability to input numbers from the home screen to place a call.
I have been playing around with this for a few days now. The interface is zippy and looks ultracool. However, there is almost nothing you can do to customize it to your liking. Because of this, it remains only a good idea for me, can't use it
Hopefully, the developers will fix all those issues and we'll have a really usable version for smartphones. That would be something...!!
Yes I'm also looking forward to it
I just want the ability to see which Wifi network I'm connected to, and a better application laucher (too much scrolling for me), also what said h4waii and of course skinning support.
And it would be perfect for me, I don't really use any specific plugin on homescreen anyway.
Personnaly I tested, and I wasn't enable to dial a phone number.
I had to bring back to WM home to dial a number.
I think it's a little borring...
Did you see this problem
Yes. There is no dialer for PointUI, hopefully they make one.

And so??? How do you dial a number?
Well on pocket pc they can hit the regular green phone key and that brings up the usual dial screen but it doesn' work on smartphones.
Well i's still a beta
Ok thank you DOc
it has been released for WM2003 (SE) now too as an Alpha Version, runs pretty stable on my XDA II with WM2003.

To dial a number, you should completely terminated the home.exe process, dial your number and then you can bring back up the PointUI home application. If you simply hit Home twice, it will keep the pointui process running in the background which seems to consume a lot of RAM.
I have my zero key mapped to upon triple keypress, close the active application.
I dont really see the advantage of using this program what functions does it add ?

Shortcuts on Keyboard (like PQZ)?

Is it possible to assign shortcuts to the keyboards e.g. to start programs? On my Universal I'm using the program PQZ to realize that. Does it work on the Rapahael too?

I don't have a Raphael yet. Can someone else try it, please?
Regards,
Jogi
It already has shortcuts like sms/email/comm manager/internet etc... and when in email or text you have foward/reply etc shortcuts.
hope that helps
What I mean is to define shortcuts of your own (e.g. a combination of keys like Ctrl+e to launch excel). That's (and other things) is possible with PQZ.

I too am in the same situation! I'm still waiting for the raphael to launch here locally.
I used PQz extensively on my universal and am really waiting to hear if it works good on the raphael too...
cheers,
San
I have just tried installin the WM6 version and it crashed and reset itself. Looks like you might have to wait for an updated version guys
PQzII also crashes on mine. However AEKMap works fine to set up CTRL+something for launching (http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php). The configuration is a bit complicated, you need to set up a keyboard map file and for instance add
Exec 0002 "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"
Key 0233 e0002 ; Execute PocketInformant by pressing Ctrl+3
All the keycodes follow a simple scheme, i.e.
A=0041
CTRL+A=0241
B=0042
CTRL+B=0242
and so on... with a few exceptions for letters J-O which are
004A-004F
before continuing with P=0050
What I haven't found out yet though is how to start links (not .exe) or pass command line options: for instance the link
69#"\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe" tasks -new
should start PocketInformant with the new task dialogue (would love to have that on CTRL+T). Simply putting
Exec 0002 "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe tasks -new"
does NOT do the job for me.
I installed the Kaiser version (0.0.8e) and so far it appears to be running fine. Can't seem to get it to point to any location besides the storage card, however.
Please let me know if you have any trouble on your Raphael.
Hi all,
I'm an author of PQzII and just got my Raphael.
So, please let me know if you have trouble on Raphael.
I would be happey to hear your voices.

Hi Tom,
great program! Firstly, which version should we use? I followed fhsieh and installed the Kaiser version... It works mostly fine. However it crashes when I try to activate the PQzII task through the Touch Flow 3D task manager. The volume keys don't work like before: if you push them once, the volume dialogue pops up, but then you can't use them to change the volume (once you push them again the dialogue disappears)...
Cheers Dan
Tom,
Is there any way to specify a transparency color for the icon bitmap file? The icon overlay shows up on top of most windows. I would like the icon to be transparent unless PQzII is either in CTRL or ALT mode.
Also, have you been able to map the CTRL or ALT modes to the TXT or envelope keys without Pocket Outlook launching. Mapping the SYM key (0xE6) appears to trigger the CTRL or ALT modes without launching the built-in symbol application.
Thanks.
Tan

Good process manager + other questions for WM 6.5

Hi all,
Today I've upgrade my Asus P552 from WM6.1 to WM6.5.
first, my process manager ( Magic Button 2.1) is not compatible with WM 6.5
wich one do you suggest? I don't need a lot of features, but he must be always present in the title bar to simply quit an application, and he must be light.
Then, a rss reader call newstation is include in WM 6.5; it works with rss feeds, but it freeze when I try to add an atom feed, is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks.
ps: excuse my bad english, I'm not a native speaker.
I'm using Magic Button 2.1 on my Fuze with a 6.5 rom (23016). It works fine. You need to set the start menu and cprog to 'stay alive' and 'not show when active,' but otherwise, it works fine for me. Well, occasionally it will kill the start menu, particularly if I hit the x button when in the Settings panel. I haven't figured out how to re-start the menu without resettings, but I can use voice command to start anything if needed.
Are you sure it won't work on your phone? I really like it. If not, I'd recommend DotFred's Task Manager. If so, I'd still recommend using DF's TM-it's a great app.
Hi, thanks for reply.
In fact, it work, but as you can see, I've got display issues when I use it (look at the title bar and the button):
do you encounter the same problem? I'll try the others programs you suggest.
Yeah, the button obscures the battery meter and a little bit of the start menu 'S' shows. My advice? Don't look @ the battery meter. It's too good of an app to junk because of the overlay.

[REQ] Mapping the headset's button to control S2P, Nitrogen, ...

Hi all,
I've recived my HD2 yesterday . I've played a bit with, and it looks to be an amazing device.
I saw the headset given with. This time we have 3 buttons with it ! So that's why i am making a request, is it possible to map them for program like slide2play, nitrogen, ... ?
<< (short press) : volume down
<< (long press) : previous song
"/> (short press) : play/pause
"/> (long press) : launch S2P
>> (short press) : volume up
>> (long press) : next song
Any idea how to make this possible? Is someone already working on it?
Thank you all !
How a great idea dear Zeppiii
I'm waiting for
+1 a real must have for the HD2
I hope there is someone who's working on this Issue.. cause its a must have..
Really need that!
volume control is necesairy
No one working on it :'(
Hello,
Very good idea.
Wait and see.
it's -10° here... please save my hands from extreme freezing just because i need to volume up :,(
Volume control on headset!
+1 great idea
great idea??
i'ld say that this is a big issue!
after kaiser no one htc device could manipulate this issue and ofcourse no one managed ever to make it work!
in my kaiser and with my itech clip radioi can manage everything in music playing...even with core player all layouts (pause/play/stop/skip forward,backwords) are supporting by the device...
in my iphone i use an simple handsfree (no wireless) and with one button only i can pause/start/skip forward one song just easy as you hear it...
what is the big problem for htc to.make that happeneds in all it's devices?
+1 a real must have for the HD2 !
Agreed or +1 as you people seem to put it. Changing volume from default remote controller would be awesome.
So is there no way to map the headsetkeys? This thread seems to be dead
T_T
nothing new?
wow.. can't be real T_T
spam up
I'm really interested in this, but i have a feeling you guys don't use the search function much
how about contacting the developers of these apps and see if they can further the functionality or release the source code:
(in no specific order)
PlayPause by jiles
HTCButton by Daniel1515
Unnamed by DYNAMIC+
VJPoOf by vijay555
Unnamed by kosherpig
Finally, I've done it in my program, Headset Button. Not perfectly, though...
