Does anyone else have problems mapping the center D pad button of the touch pro using AEB Plus? I can map it ok for the double, triple and long press, but when I map it to anything, the single press (mapped to press "enter" or call default handler) doesn't work anymore... It seems to disable the main function of the center button (enter). It's a pretty important function to press enter so currently I can't map any other functions to the button, because the main one then becomes disabled... What am I doing wrong here? Reading some other posts on this tread, it seems like others were able to map this button successfully and still use the "enter" function. A specific sequence maybe? I've tried this with a couple different ROMS including the stock SPRINT ROM and I get the same results. Can anyone help? I should point out that I have a fully registered version, and I've been able to map the green and red buttons successfully.
I have it as following:
Handle by AEBPlus
Single press: Press Enter(third option)
Double press: Select all
Long press: Display off
That are all builtin features of AEBPlus,so no exe commands or applications.
And it works good.
that's what I mapped the single press to... I mapped double press to ok/close, triple press to close active application, and long press to psshutxp... when i do this, every press works except the single press! furthermore, it also disables the enter key on the slide out keyboard... I have the lastest build (2.6.5). Can anyone help? This is driving me crazy!!! I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling. For some reason when I reinstall, it seems to remember my previous settings...and course, it behaves the same way...
Hi all,
Is there an application out there that let's me assign all the hardware buttons on the TD2 to various applications? For instance, it really bothers me that I only have a software button to take pictures and videos with (because sometimes I turn the phone around to have myself in the frame, try to hit that touchscreen button then!). It would be nice when in camera mode I can assign for instance the return button to act as the shutter button. In another application I can assign the buttons for other tasks then.
In short, is it possible to use the hardware buttons for different tasks in different applications (for example the already given example of the return button acting as the shutter button in camera mode, but in the browser you can assign the return button to act as the "back" key).
It would make using the TD2 SO MUCH easier!
Try SPB Pocket Plus.
Then go to |START|SETTINGS|PERSONAL|BUTTONS|. You should be able to assign just about anything to a HW key or a long press on a HW key.
HButton.
Freeware, works great!

I am a Touch Pro which does not have a PTT button.
Any suggestions on how to reach the camera quickly? What is your quickest way to get to the camera?
remap the center button on your phone to start up camera
mobileSCR Gscroll, map the capacitive area of the screen(where the buttons are), really useful(can choose any sequence of taps to do anything, open application)
or AEButton... what' the use of a volume rocker? just use one button to get to the volume page and use the touch screen to change the setting...(one problem would be changing vol on the fly like during a phone call... that case, change the setting, one-button press = default volume behavior, two-button press = whanever you want, three -button, long press, whatever you want

Thanks! I will try to do this but I cannot find the built in remap ap on NRGs rom, still looking for it :-D
@paperWastage: Thanks for the tip! If I cannot find the built in software I will install AE buttons.
you cant remap the center button. i think he was being pedantic. maybe you can set a button to be voice command and say "start camera".
I just have the camera in the programs... Slide over to programs and press camera...

actually... i was serious. There is a fuze keyboard config software floating somewhere in the raphael forums. It might be able to let you remap the centerbutton.
but why would you want to remap your center button.

I have to agree as this is a very important function.
Mayne a Long press center button maybe more appropriate.
I cant seem to find any remap built in software on the NRG rom. My Touch dual had one which allowed me to remap some basic buttons like volume button.
Looks like AEbuttons is the answer for me. Will try to test it first and update you guys.
If you go to Setting and on the Personal Tab there is a Buttons setting and you can change the receive call button (press and hold of course) to whatever you want, including the camera.
Also a good idea to go over to the Systems tab and change the Long Press End Key Setting to Lock Device or something else than Turn Airplane mode on/off, god that sound is annoying when Airplane mode is turned on
it depends on the rom or software if you have the unlocked all buttons. honestly theres no faster way to get there than start > camera or photos tab > camera. if you dont have an american phone with a ppt button, there wont really be a faster way.
i actually did not mean to map the single click. I thought it was obvious i meant the long press.
using softkey manager you can replace one of the softkeys on the homescreen, as ur using an NRG rom im guessing your two softkeys on the home tab are "action" and "contacts"? ive got rid of the contacts, because a. i could jus use the people tab, or b. jus press the call button to bring up the dialer... and have replaced it with camera
the softkey manager should be under utililites/tweaks... it is on mine and im using an NRG rom
hope this helps.
Hi all,
I want to use the footprints tool but unfortunaley I have an issue to take the photo.
If I want to take a "normal" photo I have to touch the display (this little icon that appears on the display). But I don't have this option, if I want to take a photo with the footprint tools.
How do I take photos there? Can I change the settings somewhere so that I can take a photo by pressing a key?
Thank you for your help!
Bye

Hi, i have the same problem like above. I have installed footprint to my touch2. Unfortunately, touch2 does not has its own shutter button. It depends on onscreen shutter button. footprint does not have onscreen shutter button. Can any suggest on how to take photograph. can the shutter button assigned to any keys like - long press call button? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Where did you download Footprints?
answer
to take a photo with footprint you have to press return.....
on the mega I've found two ways:
1st one, free, is VolDpad (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552947)
2nd one,not free, AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php), remap Volume up or down Long press to return....
I've found that VolDpad is far more stable than ABEP, but less configurable...
Have fun.

Hi Uppy. The footprints can be downloaded from here. forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4652165&postcount=1
Thanks Zogzerg, but voldpad is to remap volume keys to Dpad. I want to remap the shutter key. The remapping can be to either a physical button or on screen at the bottom taskbar. I just want a shutter key to take picture... can be anywhere. (footprint lacks onscreen shutter key)
Hello, there are a few footprints cab's floting around here on XDA. Most are for devices with enter button......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4174400 this link is to a solution for Rhodium; a QVGA device without such a button. This may work for you.....have not tried myself or checked the thread
How do i get it on my M2D Tab ?
I installed the Navipanel and Footprints, but its only on my start menu .. Under a Multimedia tab.. help?
Hi Frank Caarls. Thanks for the reply. However there is no workaround for this problem in that thread. I have checked many threads but nothing seems fruitful so far. Hi deepakmk, u may need to enable it through homesettings.xml.
How do i do that?
Sorry kinda noob at this ><

read my post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The shutter key for footprint is return !!!!!!!!
Zogzerg, the RETURN key DOES NOT work. It exits the application and nothing happens.
Can u tell exactly what changes u did? Enlighten me..
what programme was assigned to the return key? (start>settings>personal>Buttons)
not OK, return.
short example with AE button plus,
for volume up key (hard), assign
1 click:volume up
Long click:RETURN key (soft) AND NOT "OK" button or it will close the app
and for Volume down key (hard), assign
1 click:volume down
Long click:taskmanager
that's my setting, it work well with footprint......(to take a picture i longpress volume up)
btw, aebp is a little buggy with the (hard) back button (<--), so don't try to remap it.
with voldpad, first install it, then run footprint, add (+), then to take the picture :
double click volume down WITH hold
that's it: click and cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick......

I also installed footprints on my mega. Also, ae button plus. I cannot find the return option you talk about as an action to long press volume up. Got any more hints about what we should do? I tried other actions available there as well. None of them seemed to trigger a new footprint photo

you have to choose long press = ENTER then save and exit
when you launch footprints press and hold volume up when you release photo will be taken
can you tell me when you installed footprints does your home weather still update??

I tried with enter too and still doesn't work. When I release after long press volume up, it just shows the volume program. As for my home weather, it still updates, but just once. After that, it crashes TouchFlo and I'm just stuck with the "tap here to launch touchflo" message. I think I'm going to uninstall this because of this home weather inconvenience and my not being able to trigger new footprints

Well. I have exactly the same problem.
As far as I know, there's no way to get M2D Footprints Tab to work even enabling it in HTCHomeSettings.xml file.
Any solution???

Hi,
Can you clarify 'works perfect' on the TG01 - I am using the (registered) Buttons Plus, but have only been able to get it to support a single alternative button press on the Camera, bottom 'Zoom' bar and right-hand 'OK' button.
Could you please share your settings which allow you to get it to work with multi-settings per button, and also specify buttons are you able to get it to work with ?
Would be really appreciated
Many thanks,

As known, TG01 don't have hardware buttons....so when I say "perfect" I mean as perfect as possible....
I don´t use camera button (I'm afraid camera could fail)
I'm using only volume buttons and the zoom bar.
Volume UP:
1. Single press: PageDn
2. Double press: PageUp
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Volume DOWN:
1. Single press: "Resco Audio Recorder -rec"
2. Double press: "Resco Audio Recorder -exit"
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Zoom bar: (Button #405C)
Alt+Tab (Change between opened apps)
How to map zoom bar:
a) Open AEBPlus (I have v2.6)
b) Tap Left softkey: File
c) Add button
d) Add Key (Touch the zoom bar: The program detects Key code 405C as Win Key)
e)Tap Add Key
You'll have a new button called Button #405C
Tap & Hold over the new line (Button #405C) and assign Alt+Tab to it
The program ask to self reset, say Yes and .... here you are!
some doubts
You seem knoweleagble: I would like to receive your suggestions
I onw two units of HD2, I am trying to understand how to use AE buttons, then I will surely buy it, but I have many doubts…
Questions:
1. Where can I find a complete tutorial?
2. Where can I find a help, to understand each functions? I mean, not FAQ, just a help file.
3. from AEBPlus Settings > add button > ONLY 2 hardware buttons can be captured (the one with white backspace arrow on it and the home with a home depicted on it)
the other 5 buttons cannot be sensed: I mean
- phone button: if pressed the phone canvas appear, the ADD KEY screen disappears and no key code appears
- same story for the phone-OFF button and for the volume up and volume down buttons.
4.
Since at least one button is recognized (the white backspace) I have set it to work as follows:
1st short press > open contacts
2nd key press > open excel
3rd key press > open opera
4th key press > calculator
But ONLY short press and long press do work! The other 2 cannot work (Therefore I cannot open excel and opera…)
Additionally: if I want to open CONTACTS, I just need to press short and CONTACTS application appears on my screen
If I want to use CALCULATOR > I need to press AND HOLD! If so CALCULATOR shows up. If I pull off my finger from the hardware button > calculator disappears and the home page comes back…
Please can you explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks and waiting for any help and suggestions
