Hi
does anyone know how to remap keys, I would like to remap the green call button to list recntly used apps, the one that we get when we long press home key.
Really miss the alt-back key combination of blackberry.
i think a quick key to app switcher will make any device really faster

Press and hold the 'Home' button and it'll show you the list of the last 6 recently used apps.
thanks,
but i do know the long press home button, or press and hold home key.
I want to remap this function to the green call button instead.
so that i can get to the application switcher in one key stroke instead of pressing and holding

Do you guys have any idea on How to change the Home button to start menu?
I use AE BUtton Plus.. works great.. you will have to "add" home adn back buttons to be able to program them

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
I've used this program for years but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my FUZE.
I searched the forums and found a few threads where people recommend it and said it worked great on their phone. I also read that the home and ok button's can't be re-mapped (well... they can... but it's bot practical).
So, I'm trying to re-map the send and hang up keys. I assumed the keys are the green and red phone keys listed within AE Button Plus. I edited those to do what I wanted and soft reset the device. Problem is, neither of the buttons do anything I told AE Button Plus to do. A long hold of the green phone button starts Voice Command. A long hold of the red phone button opens the "Long Press Red Key" application. I'm using NATF's 2.2 ROM (if that makes a difference).
I thought that maybe the FUZE has it's own button codes so I tried adding buttons. But clicking on the red or green phone button while the add a button window is popped up doesn't work.
How do those of you with your FUZE have AE Button Plus working with the phone hardware buttons? What am I doing wrong?
I have mapped the Green button with AEBPlus and it is working fine. For this button you don't need to use Add button function and I think,the Red button can be mapped same way.

You're right. I did some more testing and single, double, and triple presses work fine. The problem is, I can't re-map the long press'. Is it possible?

Try again to add the buttons, but this time hold the call and end buttons longer. It will only let u remap the long press. However it will also remap the PTT button. This is a problem for me. I have found a way to kinda cheat this though. I created the PTT_Long.lnk file in the windows directory. (You can find the directions somewhere here in the Rafael forums) Now my short press = camera and I can program the long press etc. And I can use AEBPlus to remap everything else.. Good luck..Hopefully AEBPlus will update their software to work with the Rafael...

It's still not working for me
If I press the green button too long it opens up a new windows with things like "Turn Airplane Mode on" and a few others being shown.
If I press the red button too long it starts Voice Command. If I press it any shorter then that it doesn't register as a new code within AE Button Plus.
I'm not sure what you did to get it working on your end... but I can't re-map the long press' of those buttons on my phone.
Maybe I need to disable the default long press commands via the registry?
remap soft keys on HOME screen of TF3D
I am using PI8 (pocket informant) as my contacts and calendar. I would like to remap the 2 soft keys that are currently going to "windows" version of calendar and contacts, to instead go to PI8 version of calendar and contacts.

Use advanced config and you can set them that way. You have to soft reset aftewards...

There is a new version of AEBPlus out, however it still doesn't get along with the Fuze very well. I Finally uninstalled it and am happy with short/long press only on the PTT. I also run GScroll and use it to double touch the capacitive screen to launch stuff...much better...
home soft keys for PI8
please explain where in Advanced config do I go to change a setting for the 2 soft keys for the home screen. I can't find anything. I found it in Diamond tweaks under 14.5 but it does not give me an option to select PI8.
The long keypress for Green button can be solved by standart button settings as a "Button1(Hold)". I have mapped for a longpress the phone interface that way(1click I use as Alt+Tab). I don't know about red button,because I use red button to instantly drop the call and this feature is missing in my version of AEBPlus and I don't need to upgrade.
hello everyone, here is a mod which will let you use your search button as power button. this package is created for those who have broken power button
by applying this mod you can use the search button to lock your device or to get the power menu
as the search button is capacitive touch button you cannot use it to wake your screen but you can use your volume button to wake your screen
today in almost every custom rom there is a option for waking mobile by pressing volume key
download
Surely will save someone's broken power. I tried, it works, and I will include it in next version of my ROM.
Good use for useless button! Yay!
looking forward on your next release
This may not belong here, but I thought if anyone knew it would be you... Is there a way to re-map the menu button to pop up recents instead of menu, and then menu on long press?

sorry I can't do this due to lack of knowledge
On recent items - my long press Home works.
I made a MOD for the Galaxy S III which remaps the Menu key to the home button. The issue I'm having is that when I do this, it also enables the long press on the normal menu capacitive button even though a normal press is disabled.
Does anyone know how to disable the long press of a button?
I know there is some button remapper thing but I'm pretty sure that's only for the newer phones like the Nexus where those buttons actually show up on the screen whereas are are 4 dedicated buttons (but still capacitive).
I was wondering if it's possible to change the soft key function of the search button to say the multitask button because I never use the search button and I do use the multitask button quite frequently, so it would be a lot faster to press the search button instead of holding down the home button.
