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.
Nuno
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!

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 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..

Is there any way that using voice button intead of power button?
the power button is widely used.
when unlock the device , lock the device[turn off screen lock key] and watching time,i offen push the power button ,many times a day.
so i am afraid of the power buttom will be loose or bad,it looks so sicker than any other button.
and i have a opinion that want to give the voice button the locking and unlocking function.
the voice button[on the left side upon the p3650]
is there any software or by changing the regredit ,can do that ?
You could download PHM Suspend PowerToy and either put it in your Start Menu apps or map one of the buttons to that program using using the button mapper in control panel.
There are many applications that allow this, and there are ways to do it manually also. VITO ButtonMapper is one. Search the forum and you'll find more options.
Alternatively, you could set your phone to turn the screen off after less time. Or you could set a long press of the hang-up key to lock the screen. Both of these options are available in control panel.

Isn't there a free program? I mean isn't this a simple tweak. Also, what do you mean by add a home and back buttons?
AEBPlus is a program,which can handle all keydown events sent from keyboard driver to the OS and modify/use them to control other things with ANY key. If your key isn't in predefined list,it can detect the keycode and you can remap it. Perhaps,unfortunately the home and back keys(and the qwerty as well I think) are sending direct WM messages to going home or Ok/Close and nowadays we cannot disable these functions at all to be sent to OS,even tough we can handle them and use with other functions. That means,you can map on these buttons anything with AEBPlus,but you cannot get rid of their default functions(overall it does 2 actions at once - going home and AEBPlus action mapped).

How do I add the home and back buttons?
every time I add a button then click on home, it minimize down AEBPlus
Don't worry about it. Click on "Task Manager" (top right corner) you will see AE button there; select to open it. Button #00ED and #405C are "Home" and "Back"
AE button doesn't work well on RRE's ROM. I don't know if it works as it should on the other ROM or not.

Aha, now that's interesting! #00ED is the button that is added for the PTT button on the Fuze, as well. No wonder that adding an action in AEBP for the PTT button does the same thing when the Home button is pushed!

Yes, I agree! It is really weird... I did the hack to add PTT_LongPress.lnk to the windows folder and made the PTT longpress goto my commanager. This will overide when AEB tries to change longpress on the call & PTT. You cannot change the short press of the call button, at least I don't know how. So in theory my longpress of the call button now is voicecommand & my longpress on ptt is commanager.
I used AEB to program single/double/triple press of the PTT button also.
Sometimes when i hit the Home or call button though the camera comes up which is assigned to single press.
AEBPlus needs to update their program for the Diamond and TouchPro before I will register it..Someday
