Ok, so I just realized that it's very troublesome to compose a new SMS, have to go to the inbox, press right soft key, press left joystick, press down joystick to select SMS and then start composing
So I got an idea to configure the Messaging button on Tornado Noble to point to the compose SMS straight away. I did some google, and found the attribute to the tmail.exe application.
So I tried to create a shortcut named Long_AP2.lnk, in it contain this line
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I saved it and transferred it to my phone, but it don't seem to work, feeling that my attribute might be wrong, I saved it as Short_AP2 and put into my phone, it works and by pressing the SMS button, it opens SMS composer straight away.
So the question is, why can't I get it to work on Long_AP2? Or the file name is supposed to be something else?
I also want to ask, what i that number 19 at the beginning of the line, hardware keys?
I think that the LONG_AP1.lnk activates when you hold the button for a few seconds.
Lol, I know that for sure,
I want to make long hold to activate compose sms, but short press to inbox
Anyone can help me? This is for our own good
keybddr.dll didn't support Long_AP2.
These aren't attributes. Attributes are what tell us whether or not file is hidden, read only etc...
These are parameters or switches.
I don't understand why you need to use a parameter to make tmail.exe open with a blank text message. Unless mine is broken, that's what it does by default. (In fact, I think mine is screwed up... wtf?)
Have you considered using mortscript?
andot:
If keybddr.dll doesn't support long_ap how is the media player supposed to use this for FFW in music/video?
I think it's supposed to support it.
I mixed up, it should be arguments
At default, it opens the inbox, not the blank text message
Long_AP2
With "AE Button Plus" you can map simple, double, triple and long click to one key.
This is a very usefull utility !
you need to modify the registry keys to use AEB Plus with the multimedia keys.

Hmm, I don't like to install additional cab to do simple stuff, perhaps find out what registry changes it does, and incorporate into a cab which installs the button, ill chk it out later

I fixed it. Don't know how it broke, but it works as you describe.
Is there no way to make a text version of a mailto: shortcut?
Good that you fixed it, but hope we can have 2 purpose with a button
short hold for inbox, long hold for sms
as you know, with Wm6, composing sms is even more troublesome compared to wm5
CONFIRMED, this is how to keep that annoying PTT message from coming up on American Touch Pro's (Fuze maybe? whatever).
Keep in mind, you can't individually map this button with this method, that may come later.
Step 1: Registry editor, remove HKLM/Services/PTT
Step 2: Create a key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys called "40C2"
Step 3: Create a string within that key, titled Name with the value being "Button 6" or whatever
Step 4: Soft reset.
From this point on you can remove 40C2, but your PTT button will simply perform with a press what your send button performs with a hold (which can be remapped easily... Settings/Buttons/Button1(Hold)).
NOTE: This apparently doesn't work on all Fuzes, trying to work that out now. It worked with my pre-release, but I'll update this post if a better way is found. Apparently on at least 1 Fuze it only DISABLES the PTT button.
Bump, a few people have asked about this, so bring it up to the top.

I don't have means to create a cab, nor do I still have the phone, so I couldn't help ya... It's really not difficult though, if you want just grab a registry editor like PHM and do those quick steps. Another note, I think you have to hard reset to get PTT functionality back. Or maybe replacing the PTT part of the registry will make it work again, not sure. I know soft resets and removing the 40C2 will not change it back to working PTT.

FWIW, this does not remap the PTT button my Fuze. It disables it - which is definitely a plus because I can't stand the annoying PTT message that came up when I accidentally pressed the button - but it doesn't remap it to the same functionality that the Button 1 (Hold) has.

Well, that's good to know... Perhaps the pre-release was different? Check if you can add another button to your available mappable buttons. Instead of deleting it leave the reg key there, then go to settings>map buttons or wherever it was. Is there a Button 6 there now?

It shows up as available to map but if you map it to anything, it doesn't work. I tried press and I tried press-and-hold and I tried every registry key from 40C0 through 40CF. I have a feeling the TF3D is somehow managing the keypress actions but I'm not sure how. Hopefully once the Fuze is in full release someone can figure it out!
My fuze doesn't have button remap option
I think I've got an official release, and when I go to settings-buttons all I get is button 1 hold option, it's set to Voice Command, which is fine.
Advanced config has some soft key remap options, but ptt isn't in there.
I don't have any option for PTT/button 5 or any other. Has anyone tried the slueth pttfix cab that worked on the 8525 in great fashion?

Well I had the same thing with my pre-release, button 1 = holding send. When I put the 40C2 key in there it linked the PTT button to "button 1", so both had the same function. Not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than seeing an annoying "Initialize PTT service?" message when I hit the button accidentally while playing teeter.
when i had the offical at&t rom, i couldnt find a way of remapping. but now that i've flashed romeos rom, it's automatically remapped to comm manager. so i can turn on my bluetooth, wifi, etc with 2 clicks, real convinent

I'm finalizing my "lite" AT&T ROM which I will release as soon as I can acquire a Fuze and test it. It will (hopefully) have Voice Command mapped to PTT, and Comm Manager mapped to Long Press PTT.
I'm still working on the exact reg keys, and I've stripped out 70+ MB of junk, so the ROM should be pretty snappy.

Good (yet unexpected) to see you jumped ship from the Kaiser, I know a few people that are too attached to get a Fuze.

As soon as it was announced, I decided it was time to jump. I skipped the 8525 launch, and wore the hell out of my 8125 because, at the time, 3G didn't mean anything to me. However, the Fuze has improved on the Tilt is just about every way... I rarely "tilted" the Tilt anyway.
We, the end users of the world, salute you....
Next I'll be asking how to flash the rom and get the "traditional" black TF3D theme... lol
Thanks again!
If someone can figure out how to map it to be a camera button like the one on tytn Id be super grateful and could def make a paypal donation for the cause
I've tried this with my release Fuze and it doesn't work. It disabled PTT but it did not map that button to the same as button 1 hold. A button 6 does show up in the buttons menu, but when I try to map it to anything, nothing happens when I press it.
PTT Wont remapp
Thank for the start on the reg edit but I still cant re map the ATT Fuzes PTT Button. I got the PTT alert Msg to go away after I Deleted its reg. and Button6 now show in the button remapping menu, but No matter I assign to it, it wont work even after many soft restarts.
Any ideas?
Thx for help
Yea, a remap to camera button would be awesome.
Thanks.

Good Evening
I downloaded a PTT fix from http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/1054343-1.html & installed the .cab file. It created a button 5 option in my settings/buttons menu. However, when I set that option for camera instead of PTT...it still initializes the PTT vs the camera. I'm going to assume that the PTT is not button 5 on the fuze, hence why it won't work. Does anyone know which button that it might be, and how i could edit that file? or make my own work around?
Thanks
The PTT might be hard wired to the PTT hardware needed for ATT's push to talk, kinda silly really I don't see why they still push this I've yet to meet anyone on ATT who uses this feature, maybe one day ill run into a cunstruction worker who knows.

I'd love to see a solution to this too. I tried the Tilt registry hacks that let you re-map the PTT button but all that did was disable the button completely. (Which is still an improvement because at least now I don't have the PTT message come up every time I accidentally hit that button...)

I were to remove that string after i install the .cab, would that disable PTT,and the settings menu take over?
I realize I can do a registry hack, but I was looking for something that A) would be easy to install/uninstall B) would add an easily accessible option to the settings on the phone.

Um that is the easiest way right now.
And it does as B). Just change what Button 1 (Hold) to whatever you want and that's what your PTT button will act as.
Alright, its Button 1...awesome. Now lets see if I can find that setting ;-)
In settings/personal/buttons
...there is only an option for button 5, and button 5(hold). 1-4 do not show up there. How would I go about editing button 1's action?
Thanks alot
I found a program called AE BUTTON PLUS, it allows you to map any hardware button on the device. The PTT button is not listed by default so you need to "add button" it will then ask you to press the hardware button you would like to map, after that it shows up on the list and you can map it... I have found that adjusting long press setting causes issues, but tap and double tap work fine. I have tap disabled since I always hit the key by accident, double tap is Torch. Working fine so far. I believe you can even map individual keys on the keyboard in the same way.
I tried to use AE Button Plus(registered it), and had no luck creating an action for the PTT button. So I followed the registry ediit intructions, again..with no avail.
My PTT is disabled, which as previously stated, is better than nothing.
I would like to clarify two things. Does 40C6, and 40C7 relate to PTT on all devices, or is this a phone by phone basis? 40C6 could be PTT on a tilt, but the touch may be 33D4. Noobish question, but I'm not sure how this stuff works.
Also you said its "Button 1". Again, does this refer to hardware button # 1. Or is this just a random name we give it so we know which one to edit in the buttons menu?
So if I use 40c6, and 40c7 for "Button 1", and "Button 1(hold)"...it should work?
...I also used Button 6 & Button 6 hold as in the Tilt instructions. Same function.
I appreciate the assistance gang!
any1 have any luck?
If you want to remap the PTT button using a cab file (instead of manually doing reg tweaks) just look here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/ptt-remapping-revisited-application/
pretty simple but read the 'update' at the end
Before I start, I apologise if this has already been answered elsewhere, as I've spent about five hours trawling through threads looking, in vain, for a solution.
I have bought a new Fuze but the PTT button causes a problem with the aluminium case I bought for it. The problem is that the case is for a Touch Pro and the latch is right where the PTT button is (meaning the button is permanently depressed when the case is closed). It cannot be remapped in Settings/Buttons.
All I want to do is to be able to disable the button completely, or failing that make it an 'OK/Close' button. I have got rid of the PTT link but would greatly, greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what commands should be written in "short_PTT.lnk" and "long_PTT.lnk" to be able to do this. I've tried just leaving both blank but then the PTT button brings up an error message when pressed about not being able to find the shortcut.
Is there a way to achieve either of these solely using the registry, and without using third-party software?
Thanks for your time.
Here's full instructions on remapping your PTT button: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=598
To just disable it so it does nothing follow the steps at the beginning:
Using a registry editor delete HKLM\Services\PTT.
Next delete HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT.
Navigate back to the Windows directory and rename PTT to PTT2
Now create a new folder called PTT and set the properties as System and Read Only
If you follow all of those instructions and want to map it to close use this app and map it: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1249
Problem fixed
You're a great person, bugsykoosh. I had done the first part you suggested, but the second link - and use of a tiny program called Zap It - fixed it perfectly.
Thank you heaps.
Okay so what is the joke why does this work for EVERYONE, except me. I mean seriously. I followed the steps but nothing. I press the button and I get nothing at all except the noise that indicates the keypress was succesfull WHAT GIVES.

This is overkill. You don't need to mess around with the PTT directory. If you just stop the PTT service from running, nothing will look in the PTT directory and its contents don't matter.
Just change HKLM\Services\PTT\Dll to an empty string and soft reset. The button will be completely inert. You can then remap it using AEBP or the short_PTT/long_PTT shortcuts, if you choose, or just leave it inactive.
Today
WMM,
If you change as you suggested, it looks like the long and short still work. I've remapped and did all the steps, but it looks like yours may be a little easier/cleaner. I'm curious, and I've looked extensively to no answer, but if I want the short press to just send my Fuze back to "Today" (in TF3D), is there a way to do that? If I press Start the first option is Today and this does exactly what I want. There's no shortcut that I can locate anywhere (and I'm sure it's my ignorance/technical inability) and the next step is to make a copy of that shortcut and name it short_PTT which I can handle. Any suggestions?
So, it isn't possible to map the PTT button from the Settings - Buttons screen? Looks like the method linked to above, with the short_PTT and long_PTT shortcuts, won't allow me to map the PTT buttons to work as the left and right softkeys.
As far as I know (which isn't very far, sometimes), the only way to get the PTT button to execute "Home" or the left/right soft keys is to use AE Button Plus. There may be applications that do those things that you can download (I know there are for things like toggling wifi and bluetooth, killing the current application, etc.) -- these are really tiny utility applications that are specifically intended for mapping to a button -- but I don't know of ones that do those particular things. (AEBP is able to do all those things, as well as giving you four mappable events -- single, double, triple, and long press).
okay seriously here do the links need to have special settings or anything. I mean what attributes should they have. Nothing works!
For the life of me, I can't remap my PTT button.
On a short press, it activates the voice command system.
On a long press, it activates the camera.
This seems to be from flashing NATF's ROM.
Following instructions above, I have no HKLM\Services\PTT or HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT in my registry editor.
I did the short and long_PTT/link and PTT folder in Windows. The links work there, but doesn't change what happens when the button is pushed.
I have AEButton Plus, but can't get it to add the PTT as a button.
Any suggestions where I can find in the registry what is making my PTT button act as it is? I'd rather have it do nothing than what it is doing now.
Thanks,
Chris

Yes, I believe NATF did not add the PTT stuff from AT&T into his ROM; the instructions above are for the stock AT&T ROM. You'll have to ask NATF how to remap the PTT button using his ROM.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. As I mentioned in my last posting just above this one, this probably only works in a ROM that supports PTT, like the stock AT&T ROM; if you're running something that doesn't support PTT, it would be a real surprise if "short_PTT" and "long_PTT" meant anything special, no? Assuming you are running the stock AT&T ROM, here's a step-by-step procedure for creating the short_PTT link to point to the Camera application using the built-in File Explorer.
1) Open File Explorer. If the drop-down box at the upper left says anything other than "My Device," tap the small down-arrow next to the label and then tap on "My Device."
2) Tap on "Windows" and wait a few seconds for the folder contents to appear.
3) Scroll down until you see "Camera" (the one that's 794K). Tap and hold that until the pop-up menu appears and then tap on "Copy".
4) Tap on "Menu" in the lower right, then "Edit", then "Paste Shortcut".
5) Scroll to the very bottom of the folder contents and you'll see "Shortcut to Camera" that was created. (The name may be truncated, depending on the size of the font and the screen orientation. Mine says, "Shortcut to Ca..." in portrait orientation. In any event, it will be the last thing in the folder contents.) Tap and hold on that until the pop-up menu appears and then tap "Rename". Then just type "short_PTT" to overwrite the existing name and hit return.
That's all you need to do. (If the application you want to run with the PTT button is in a different folder from \Windows, navigate there, tap-hold on the application executable, and select "Copy". Then navigate to \Windows and do steps 4 and 5 exactly as above.) This works exactly the same for the "long_PTT" shortcut.
If you do exactly that, does it not work? What happens if you tap the "short_PTT" shortcut in File Explorer? Does it start the camera?
Here is a link to a cab that will allow you to remap the PTT button: http://www.fuzemobility.com/ptt-remapping-revisited-application/

Can you post instructions as to how? I tried it already and the pulldown that shows you the available apps you can pick only shows PTT.
Best regards,
JD
So I followed the registry edit method, and created a file (not a folder) called PTT and things work great .... except ... when its on Airplane mode (Phone, Bluetooth and Data set to off) and I press the button (short or long) the PTT function kick off.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Anyway to change this behaviour?

Something's odd with your phone, then. Mine shows the full list of apps and options. I remapped PTT to VC without an issue.
Is it possible that you've got an application that's taking over the Buttons Control Panel? On mine, I had to remember to shut off SPB Pocket Plus's control over the buttons since it doesn't work with the Touch Pro line. When I first fired up the control panel, it listed no apps until I remembered that I had Pocket Plus running and turned of that feature.
I currently have a Kaiser and I'm planning the following setup:
- left soft key: Dialpad (phone canvas)
- short press send key: Call History.
For the left soft key, it is quite easy, go to:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\
and change "Open" to "\Windows\cprog.exe" and "Default" to "Dialpad" or whatever name. Soft reset.
Or simply delete the content of 112 key and soft reset, without it the left soft key defaults to "Phone" linked to the phone canvas.
Call history is also easy to shortcut "\Windows\LaunchMSItem.exe" CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS.
The issue is with the short press send key. I searched my guts out but I could not find how to remap it. Found solutions for "long press" but not for short.
I want of course to keep the ability to actually dial a number with it.
I am interested in a simple solution without aditional software, scripts etc.
Help much appreciated.
Regards - Daniel
To my knowledge you can't map the send/end keys for short press unless you start digging real hard in some system files which.. even pauldegroot didn't manage to do.. and supbro is still fighting for with iDialer..
By 'end key' if you mean the Off-hook key (the red button), then you can't remap it without using third-party apps.
In fact, it's a bit of a bother even by using third party apps.
The reason is because the dial and end keys are special keys designed almost exclusively for the purpose of using in the phone app.
For more technical info, and how to go about doing it the really hard way:
http://thefiles.macadamian.com/2008/06/detecting-phone-buttons-on-wm56.html
I use aebutton plus to remap my send and end keys - not short key though - I have them mapped for double press/ tripple press. (long press and short-presshave the old functions..)
-mark
@deXter: it was the send key, sorry for that, I corrected the first post. Your link is still valid however - thanks - it seems I have to do a lot more reading on this.
Any quick solution is still welcome
again, same problem.
Small progress
1. By editing
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCprog\1
I can assign any program to the send key.
Trouble is:
- cprog is not starting anymore with the phone, meaning no signal and no dialing.
- the newly assigned program autostarts at boot.
2. In some WM5 documentation, I learned that under
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\
you could have four keys, 112, 113, 114, 115, corresponding to the left soft, right soft, send and end keys respectively.
In WM6 only the first two seem to work.
Still searching...
