Cannot remap 3 hardware buttons: Voice Cmd, OK and Camera

greetings all... i wanted to remap my Voice Command button to another activity, however, the Voice Cmd, OK and Camera buttons do not appear in the list of button options:

i know it was there before because i mapped it to DeviceLock. i've already tried 2 soft resets with no success. i'm hopeful that i can fix this with a simple registry change vs. a hard-reset. if this can fixed via registry edit, i would be grateful if someone could (a) export the the correct registry keys and send them to me via PM (or post here) OR (b) post where to find the keys in the registry and list the default settings... thanks in advance for feedback.

I bet it has something to do with some software you installed. I have kaiser and remapped voice dial button to comm manager and it works without any problem.

not in this case... i installed smartSS to take the picture you see in my post. thanks for the suggestion, though.

Interesting, my config screen shows butons 1-6 plus a second number 6 button (hold), total of 7 mappable keys. Have you never had all these keys shown in this config screen? or did something you add take them away? I would perform a Hard Reset and see if the stock rom brings them back. Good Luck!

sorry for that, I already changed my post, I just thought (although not knowing what smartSS is) that it is the software that reserves the use of button mappings and therefore disables them in the windows settings menu.

the buttons just didn't show up when i went to change them. i'm going to hold out for a possible non-hard reset option. for now, i'll use AE Button Plus. thanks for responding...

neither of the 2 suggestions above work.
O2 say the Comm Manager button and the Voice Dial button.
What is the Comm Manager button?
Steve

Are you following this process exactly?
1.Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER
buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET
button at the bottom of your device.
2. Release the RESET button, but
continue pressing the GPS/
MESSAGING and INTERNET
EXPLORER buttons until you
see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform
the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

DaveShaw thanks for putting it simple

I am still having a problem with doing a hard reset. I am holding down the ok and the windows buttons and they are not showing me the message. Just getting the password is not correct please put in the following code and not able to use the touch screen may cause a problem?

Hard Reset:
On the 02 Orbit2, make sure the phone is powered on and then press AND HOLD the Windows and OK buttons down at the same time, THEN use your stylus to press AND RELEASE the reset button (while you CONTINUE to hold down the Windows and OK buttons). You should get a grey-ish/white screen explaining how to complete the hard reset or how to cancel the operation.
If you cannot see anything on your screen due to the OS being totally messed up (in other words, as long as it's not hardware failure), then you need to put your device into bootloader mode (4-color screen) so that you can flash the ROM (either what you already are using, or a newly cooked one - either way you need to have a ROM image file on your computer to complete the flashing process).
Bootloader Mode:
To enter bootloader mode, press AND HOLD the camera button and then press AND RELEASE the soft reset with your stylus. When the screen is showing the 4 color bands, plug in the USB cable between your computer and phone flash the ROM.

[Solved] Problem with Wktask and Xbutton (SEE IMAGE)

Hi everybody,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see in the picture attached, the X button (that's the X button that comes when you install wktask) is so big that overrides my battery icon (or the clock icon if have this instead of the battery).
1) First, under wktask settings, you can choose not to use a skin for the X button, which sthetically is great, because i like the default icon (i'm using NRG ROM 3.0 'Magic' BTW...).
But if i use this option, i loose the functionality of wktask... for example if i close an application tapping the x button, wktask close TWO application instead of ONLY the one i wanted.
2) If i use the wktask X button i have the awesome functionality that the app has, but i 've this sthetical issue that i'm asking now...
3) So, does anyone know, how to get the X button smaller or have wktask functionality with the standard X button that comes with the ROM?
Thanks!! (i've googled the problem several times, looked the author's site, etc...)
SOLUTION --> i started to change the parameters under "General 1" tab and the UNchecked the "use a skin file for X/OK buttons". After thar, i soft reset my phone.
Now i have the custom X button that comes with NRG rom and the functionality of wktask...
I dont know why, but before this, when i pressed the X button,sometimes wktask closed two app instead of ONLY the one i wanted.

since that's a sizing issue, i don't think there's anything you can about it. last i checked, theres no way to move the taskbar icons around.

So perhaps there is a way to make wktask work properly with the original X button from the ROM.
It's a bit strange... so... the "skin" is not only a skin... it does something more...
I should try reinstalling wktask... i didnt do it before cause i have my icons set up in the wktaskLauncher...
Thx for the answer!

Cookie home tab editor issue :(

Hey,
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this so i will give it a go anyway
Was messing arround with cht and it told me to restart my hd2 for changes to take effect, i did and now my device wont load past the 02 boot screen.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Take a hard reset!

hard reset
Is that by pressing and holding the red button on the back of the phone?
If so tried that the phone went off and came back on and still didnt load past the screen

No. .. this is what you quoted Softreset, would be in this link: HTC HD2 hard reset
HTC HD2 hard reset
If a normal reset does not solve a system problem, you can perform a factory reset. After a factory reset, the phone is restored to its default settings—the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. You will lose any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your phone, and only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
There are two ways to do a factory reset. One way is perform a clear storage process through the phone settings. The other way is to perform a hard reset by pressing certain buttons on your phone, in cases when you are unable to start up your phone and enter the phone settings.
Warning! Your phone will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any additional installed programs and important data on your phone have been backed up before you perform a factory reset.
Important If Encrypt files when placed on a storage card is enabled, back up all files from the storage card before performing a factory reset (Clear Storage or hard reset) or updating the operating system. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card.
To perform a HTC HD2 Leo hard reset with buttons
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen.

For nothing. Now check what probably caused the crash because the CHTEditor only do that if any tampering in manilla

is there anywhere to check error reports ?

[Q] Did anyone try that tweek in build.prop file ? from Samsung Vibrant tweeks

Hello
Tweaking build.prop file and adding the following :
"ro.config.hw_menu_unlockscreen=true"
To enable the menu button too unlock the phone
Did anyone try that with Nexus S ? I assume it can work
The thread is located in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151608
Would be great to save the power button from braking up !!
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that since the nexus s has soft keys, it would only turn on if screen is on, the sgs has a hardware menu button that allows it to work and a framework that has the mod probably

This is from Samsung Vibrant tweaks .. Which doesn't have a "physical" menu button !! it also has soft keys , but the way it is listed as "menu button" makes this quite sensible !

This is already implemented in the latest CyanogenMod 9 ROM, and probably other ROM's too.

Ohhhh Thanks alot mate...
So now the menu soft button unlocks the phone exactly like the "physical" power button ? and when the device is unlocked , does the menu button works normally in bringing the usual menues ?
Thanks
Would you provide me with this ROM link ?

..

If I understand correctly, this will only allows pressing menu button to "unlock" the screen when keyguard is showing, but pressing menu button when screen is off will do nothing, right?
