Omnia i8000 Buttons - General Topics

Hi,
Although in OmniaII there are quite a few buttons, in the Settings>>Personal>>Buttons, we can only edit 2 buttons for normal and hold modes:
- The hexagon in the front
- The key next to the camera button
That gives us only 4 configurable function keys.
The keys we can't set are the lock key, volume keys and camera key.
Has anyone developed or found a tweak that would allow us to add "Hold" function to these 4 buttons, to add 4 usable functions/applications?
Thanks,
David

Map volume buttons

Hi,
Anyone know if its possible to remap the above to launch applications?
The only button that can be mapped as standard is Button 1 (Hold) - what a bummer
Use AEBPlus. You can remap also red/green buttons and D-pad.
Thanks, it works now!

AE Button Plus Not Working

Hello all,
I installed AE Button Plus 2.6.6.1 in my Topaz, with ROM 1.39.405.2 WWE. I tried unsuccessfully to remap both the Windows and the Back key, but nothing happened... By the way, the Back key did not exist, and I used the "Add Key" function to capture it; however, when I pressed it, the check box "Win Key" in AEBP was auto-checked... In any case it doesn't matter much, since as I said neither it nor the original Win key worked...
Has anyone used AEBP in Topaz with success? Any other key mapping software you would recommend?
The back key is actually the OK key.. that's confirmed.
I know the results of using the software is abit unexpected.. you'll have to experiment around.
I use it for my VOL up and down keys, and mapped it to UP and DOWN respectively. When I press and hold the keys, thats when I get to control the volume. Generally, my volume is always set to max, so Up and DOWN functionality is more important for me.
Now.. I can use my VOL up and down buttons to fast-forward and reverse video playback in CorePlayer
It seems like Manilla is blocking the Win key and OK/back key.
With Manila disabled you can control all keys. Note that you have to map all keys once you have mapped some of Win / Ok / Call End. AE shows this info too.
And my mapping :
Vol Up/Down single press - Arrow Up/Down
Vol Up/Down long press - Vol Up/Down
Call Start single - Call start
Call Start double - Left Softkey
Call Start triple - Task manager
Call Start long - Enter
Win Key single - Left Arrow
Win Key long - Start menu
OK Key single - Right Arrow
OK Key long - OK/Close
Call End single - Call End
Call End double - Right Softkey
Call End triple - Screen On/Off
Works great and I can control most of apps without tapping (really useful in Total Commander, I have really small font in there)
But there is a problem controlling games - some of them ignore AE Buttons - and for the others the key presses come too slow.
Have fun!

So you mean that if I want the AEBP to work I must not use TF3D? Then there is no point in having it...
That's right, after deactivating TF3D I was able to map all keys.
Maybe just enabling standard start menu and volume control will help (search for registry tweaks).
Since I am only needing an "OK" (or "Enter") key (like the one in TD1), is there a way to do it myself by modifying a reg key? I also searched Advanced Config, but it seems to offer only soft keys remapping...

Only two buttons listed in the Buttons control panel app

In the Buttons control panel app (Settings -> Personal -> Buttons) there are only two buttons listed: "Send key (Hold)" and "PTT Button". I was wondering if there was a way to add the other buttons here so I could configure them. With the TP2 there's not exactly an overabundance of hardware buttons...
You're probably going to need to get a button app. Vol d-pad may work for you (it turns volume buttons into up/down/left/right buttons). Or, try out AE Button+. It's highly configurable, but costs about 8 bucks. A regedit isn't going to solve the problem.
Anyone know if HButton works on the TP2?

Remapping an on-screen Key to a Hardware Key (Classes Info?)

Hi all,
I am trying to remap my Raphael mute button (in the phone application) to a hardware key such as the back button using tarkims button config application. Does anyone have a list of think is classes? I need to see the correct way to identity the mute class to assign it to the hardware button.

Function keys do not work

Hi,
the keys on the type cover to control the display brightness do not work. Is there a driver missing? Also the mute key does not work whereas the search and share key do work perfect. My Surface Pro 3 is just a couple of hours old and I did not install anything yet.

Umm, try holding the Fn key and tapping the Caps key. That toggles the status of the function keys.
OR Hold the Fn key and tap the required function key as when in toggled state the roles are reversed.
But then, as far as I know there is no brightness key for the display there. What looks like a bright light icon is actually a short cut to the Settings menus.
Didja read the manual???
Hi thanks for the information. I found out that these keys do not control the display brightness but the brightness of the type cover' keys.
