On an earlier ROM that I flashed (forgot which one) there was an option to assign ' <Close> ' to Button 2 (Start>Settings>Buttons>Select a button>Assign a program)
Currently only <OK/Close> is available to be assigned to that button but that doesn't necessarily actually close the open app, it sometimes just minimizes it depending on the app.
How can I use button 2 (the IE button) to actually/really close an app?
Perhaps put a <Close> into the assign options, but how?
I-Mate K-Jam, TNT 19199 Professional Wizard V.2
here is what I use:
Put the exe in the \windows folder and the shortcut in the
\windows\start menu\programs folder, then assign it to your button
.
Thank you, that works well....
but what if I just want to close the application that is currently open, not all of them?
oh Yea...sorry about that..You could try Smartskey, it has the option of assigning a long press of the right soft key to truly close the current app

is there any way to disable or reasign explorer and windows media key on smart?
If anyone know, please help with guide.
Thx...
go to \Windows folder and look for these:
Short_AP1.lnk = Explorer
Short_AP3.lnk = Player
open then with a text editor and change the targeted apps.
Go to this place:
http://www.surrealnetworks.com/mpx/SDAapps.htm
Find the file called "tcpmp hot keys". It is a cab file w/ some xml file there that reassigns those keys to TCPMP, but the xml can be modified to point them at whatever you want.
thx a lot m8s

These files are readonly and unable to edit/ delete. How to modify these shortcut files?

they are :
Code:
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.
1) copy to storage
2) Edit them
3) copy back to replace
Hi
I need to remap a hardware button to run a program, but I haven't been able to find a reg tweak for it.
I've found these:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\KeyMaps
But from that I can only figure out how to disable or switch the mapping around.
Does anyone know how to do a reg tweak so I can map a hardware button to launch a specific program?
Thanks
Create a lnk file (shortcut) to your desired application, with one of the following names and put it in \Windows folder.
Short_Home - Home
Long_Home - Home
Short_CAMERA - camera
Long_CAMERA - camera
Long_POC - IE button (the one from above long volume up button)
Short_POC- IE button
Aditionaly:
Short_AP1
Long_AP1
Short_AP2
Long_AP2
Short_AP3
Long_AP3
Short_AP4
Long_AP4
for the phones with the 4 extra buttons above softkeys.
eg:
If we want CoolCamera to open at a long press of Camera button:
- make a shortcut to CoolCamera.exe (with Resco Explorer for example)
- rename the shortcut to Long_CAMERA.lnk
- copy the shortcut to \Windows with overwriting.
Aditionaly you can map Long_VolDown & Long_VolUp.

Thanks, but that doesn't work on the C500.
I don't have any shortcuts called anything like that in my windows folder. I tried creating one to test it out, and it was a no go
Any other ideas?
Not exactly what you are after, but you do know that you can assign programs in your start menu to speed dial right? Sorry if you already knew that. Another option is AEButton or whatever its called, but its pay software.

What OS do you have? WM5.0?
PS: that works fine on my HTC Tornado with WM5.0 and WM6.0
try this:
the instructions remain, just the shortcuts filename will change as follow:
CaLP & CaSP - camera
HomeLP - home
LP is coming from long press
SP is coming from short press
Is there a way to make the side button bring up the dialpad program? If so would someone please show me how?
Thanks in advance!
not sure, if you can try making a shortcut link to the Phone.exe (I think) somewhere in the \Windows directory.. and then assign button to it
most WM should already have this phone shortcut in Start->Programes

The program that calls up the dialpad is phonedialer.exe. It's already in the \windows directory.
What I don't know how to do is to assign the button. When I call up the program to do that I just get what seems to be a set a list of programs.
By the way, what steps does one take on these devices to create a shortcut?
(edit)
Figured it out - made a shortcut, pasted it into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and then could assign a button to it.
Thanks!
Use AEButton Plus: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Hello, I'd like to change that long press HOME key to celetask, does anyone know the registry that handles this
thanks
I give up, I can't figure it out
cook your rom
or
make a cab file to overwrite the taskmgr shortcut.. put the celetask shortcut using the original shortcut file name.. this will load celetask instead.
So i have a diamond and i tried some roms, but on some i noticed that the start button was down left and i liked that it came more handy 4 me.Is there a way to move the start buton down left in any rom i chose or it depends on rome version and canot be changed.
there are two ways to do this
the first is to use a 3rd party application like wisbar advance desktop (costs money) with this you can get loads of different types of themes and other modifications
the second is to flash a winmo 6.5 rom thats based on a build over 23047 (i think) in these new roms the entire face of windows mobile has been changed
the start button is down at the bottom as is the X or ok button and the softkeys are they aswell
both excellent options above, but wanted to throw another into the mix if anyone is interested and doesn't want to do rom flashes and/or paid/bloated apps to do this.
I Used a small EXE (4.5 Kb) by Shubaroo.com called StartMenu.exe
http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=startmenu
That simply toggles the existing WinMo Start Menu on/off.
I then mapped my Left Soft-Key (on my Fuze) to execute The StartMenu.exe via a registry Hack at:
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 (left Key)
changed the value of "Default" to "Start"
and "Open" to the "\full-path-to\startment.exe"
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113 (is the right key)
You can use Total Commander to edit the registry on a windows mobile phone, but you could also use any Button Mapping app out there to do the same thing (AE Buttons is good), but again I'm into running as few apps as possible so I found the registry hack best.
This tip doesn't move your existing start bar to the bottom, it simply just maps a more thumb-friendly button to opening the existing start-menu.
Hope that helps!
