hi!
i am looking for for 4days to learn how to change the programs assigned to hardware keys. but i can not find
i want to assign other programs to sp5m 's hardware keys.
it exists in the ROM platinium edition by nitrogenius as "ul tweaks" in "settings"
i am usuing WM 6.1 now and dont want to use the hardware keys to command windows media player.
haw can i change it?
no one can help???
First of all it's UI Tweaks (UI stands for User Interface) and not UL Tweaks!
To easily customize your hardware keys, use the appropriate shortcut files:
Short_AP1.lnk for Contacts button (sp5) or Internet button (sp5m)
Short_AP2.lnk for Messages button (sp5) or Previous button (sp5)
Short_AP3.lnk for Play button (sp5m only)
Short_AP4.lnk for Next button (sp5m only)
Long_Home.lnk for long press Home key
Long_VolDown.lnk for long press Volume Down key (VolUp not supported on WM6 - don't know if supported on WM6.1)
Short_Camera.lnk for short press Camera button
Long_Camera.lnk for long press Camera button
Long_POC.lnk for long press Communication Manager button
Just change those shortcut files (located in \Windows) to point to your desired applications.
Implementing a tweak such as my Hardware Keys in Control Panel is a real pain in the ass. It's a pain in the ass even when trying to describe it!!!
Not sure I got that..

Sorry about this. Will move it to the right thread now

There are a few keys on the front of the SDA that I want to remap.
On the front, there's a T-Mobile key and three media player keys.
On the right side, there's a camera key and on the left, a Comm Manager Key and a volume rocker.
Now, the fun part...
In the Windows folder in the root directory (WM5 if that matters), there are a few shortcut files. SHORT_xxx and LONG_xxx
Short is for a press, long is for a hold.
I've remapped the T-Mobile key to the Text messenger.
I've remapped the Comm Manager Key to my Program Manager...
...but here's the issue. Some keys are unmappable. For example, the Comm key, if held, opens the Voice Notes. I changed the shortcut to make it open the AIM client, but when I press it, the AIM client opens and then it quickly opens the Voice Notes program.
Is there another area of WM5, like the registry, that holds info like this? Or do I just have to deal with it?
would love to know more about this, as i have the same phone.
I also have a SDA, but with the Qtek 8300 ROM. When I had the SDA ROM, I could remap the buttons, but under the Qtek ROM (and the I-Mate ROM) the files (Short_AP1.lnk for instance) are unchangeable/undeletable. Can anyone help me remap these buttons?
Thought I might bump this up as I have been trying to figure out how to do it..
Personally im trying to remap a long press of the comm button to open task manager.
Hi there,
With the new jog dial button on the Hermes this actually makes the xda usable without the stylus.
One question. Does anyone know how the Push an hold registry works for keys.
Currently the record/speech button has two functions which can be assigned to it eg. "push" and "Push and hold"
The registry settings in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/shell/keys
have entries 40C1 to 40C7.
Currently I have the task switching functinality programmed onto the comm button but I wouldn"t mind Programming the comm button with a hold functionality for the original comm button functionality. And then having the ok button on hold to actually close programs rather than minimise them.

Push and hold is a software specific implementation by the Voice Recorder app - according to the SDK
Use a button mapper like that by Vito and PocketMax to implement press and hold.

Hi,
I have the Dr. Gonzo's ROM and, like others, it has the shortcut for bluetooth and wifi on/off (long pressing up or down hard keys). Is there another "shortcut" for turning the phone on and off or is it possible for me to create one?
Thanks.
Regards.

I use AEButton Plus to bind keys. I have my voice command key bound to soft reset upon triple press, open comm manager on double press and close active window on single press.
If you have an app that does that creating a shortcut is not a big deal!
Hello all,
I installed AE Button Plus 2.6.6.1 in my Topaz, with ROM 1.39.405.2 WWE. I tried unsuccessfully to remap both the Windows and the Back key, but nothing happened... By the way, the Back key did not exist, and I used the "Add Key" function to capture it; however, when I pressed it, the check box "Win Key" in AEBP was auto-checked... In any case it doesn't matter much, since as I said neither it nor the original Win key worked...
Has anyone used AEBP in Topaz with success? Any other key mapping software you would recommend?
The back key is actually the OK key.. that's confirmed.
I know the results of using the software is abit unexpected.. you'll have to experiment around.
I use it for my VOL up and down keys, and mapped it to UP and DOWN respectively. When I press and hold the keys, thats when I get to control the volume. Generally, my volume is always set to max, so Up and DOWN functionality is more important for me.
Now.. I can use my VOL up and down buttons to fast-forward and reverse video playback in CorePlayer
It seems like Manilla is blocking the Win key and OK/back key.
With Manila disabled you can control all keys. Note that you have to map all keys once you have mapped some of Win / Ok / Call End. AE shows this info too.
And my mapping :
Vol Up/Down single press - Arrow Up/Down
Vol Up/Down long press - Vol Up/Down
Call Start single - Call start
Call Start double - Left Softkey
Call Start triple - Task manager
Call Start long - Enter
Win Key single - Left Arrow
Win Key long - Start menu
OK Key single - Right Arrow
OK Key long - OK/Close
Call End single - Call End
Call End double - Right Softkey
Call End triple - Screen On/Off
Works great and I can control most of apps without tapping (really useful in Total Commander, I have really small font in there)
But there is a problem controlling games - some of them ignore AE Buttons - and for the others the key presses come too slow.
Have fun!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So you mean that if I want the AEBP to work I must not use TF3D? Then there is no point in having it...
That's right, after deactivating TF3D I was able to map all keys.
Maybe just enabling standard start menu and volume control will help (search for registry tweaks).
Since I am only needing an "OK" (or "Enter") key (like the one in TD1), is there a way to do it myself by modifying a reg key? I also searched Advanced Config, but it seems to offer only soft keys remapping...
Hi all,
I am trying to remap my Raphael mute button (in the phone application) to a hardware key such as the back button using tarkims button config application. Does anyone have a list of think is classes? I need to see the correct way to identity the mute class to assign it to the hardware button.
