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...

Key mapping program

Hi.
Im making a little key mapping tool in .net using the SetWindowsHookEx metheod.
The purpose of the program is to enable old Ipaq games to work with modern phones with limited keys...
I've made some success with the program but have some issues
1) In the key hook delegate method i return 1 (one) which should make the keystroke not reach the game. For some games this works, the orginal keystroke does not reach the game and my custom simulated keystroke reaches the program instead. But for some games both the orginal keystroke AND my simulated keystroke reacheases the game resulting in unwanted behavior. (A little sidenote, the WM6 Emulator phonekeys works)
2) I can hook up both the answer and hangup button on my HTC Touch, but the simulated key is not triggered in the game. If i instead use volume up / down keys in the same game it works. If i debug i can see that the event is triggered for the telephone buttons but the keybd_event method (Part of the coredll.dll) failes to simulate the key.
3) Most games are configured for Ipaq games, but i havent found a specifcation over ipaq keycodes, anyone has one?

In future versions i will support stylus simulation and Accelerometer event handling...

If you post in the correct section of the forum, you'll most likely get an answer there. This section of the forum is for contributing.
Here is where you should post.

Moved to Q&A

Im contributing by making this tool
Anyway, i still havent found the codes for ipaqs, they must somewhere?

Ah, i googled for key codes
But if i also google for hardware buttons i found them right away
Hardware1 = 193,
Hardware2 = 194,
Hardware3 = 195,
Hardware4 = 196,
Hardware5 = 197,
Now i can bring up the Items menu in Tomb Raider Pocket PC
However i still have poblems with 1) 2) above. I will post a beta here soon...

BA with many shortcuts and block "Contacts"

People, I have a BlueAngel and i install many roms of WM5, WM6, WM6.1 but after I install this roms the desktop of my BlueAngel stay with many shortcuts for same thing, like:
- 4 Shortcuts for Help
- 6 Shortcuts for IE
- 3 Shortcuts for Live Messenger
- .....
But ever time I use XDADev_all-unlock-V.16_138_696 before install new ROM... and in the last 5 ROMS my "Contacts" are block I Cant put contacts using my BA or using ActiveSync..
So then these are my problems:
- Many shortcuts for same program;
- Impossible add contacts in "contacts"
Anybody can help me?!
Thanks!

SS for example:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.

Your problem is rather simple, you are not following the procedure exactly as you should. More precisely, you are not cleaning the hive. And to put the cherry on top, why are you using the XDA-unlock tool every time??
Follow this tutorial on the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain
This is the true step by step to up/downgrade a Blue Angel. Follow each step and you'll have a smooth running device.
For the time being, to solve your problem do the following:
0. [highlight]BACK UP YOUR STUFF SINCE YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING!![/highlight]
1. Soft Reset the device (stylus on the bottom hole)
2. Just as the device begins waking up (RGB screen), quickly hold Power +the two side buttons (Record + WMP if you have an SX66)
3. You will be prompted with three options, by using the side buttons again, change them to "NO YES YES" and press the "Mail" button. Your screen will turn white for a minute or so. Don't worry, it is cleaning your device from old junk from the previous roms.
Thats it! Your device will restart and prompt you through the startup of Windows Mobile.
Having said all that, tell us how much Storage memory you get when you are done... (I have a feeling that you missed a step).
Good luck!

i never do the 3rd step

All Functions is enable now... and all errors is fixed...
Thanks

[Q] [touch pro] How to test htc buttons ?

Hi, i just have some problem with focusing camera by tuching dpad,
its describe here: showthread.php?t=435061&page=5
... but i was wondering - maybe there is some software to test all of the buttons in my htc touch pro - it will be quite nice to test it.

Do a search for raphdiag.nbh. It's a diagnosis image that has a test for the buttons (among other things). You need hard spl to run it, and you need to know how to flash off your sd card. It won't over-write the rom (just don't format the nand).

its sound a litle bit complicated - i just dont wont to lose my warranty -
maybe some instaled software (.cab)

Oh, come on, sack up and flash you phone, lol. Why are you worried about your warranty? It's got to be long dead by now.
You can try this tool; it measures input to the d-pad (mostly capacitative responses). It may help with the camera button. You're not using ae button, are you? It's a bad idea to re-map that button.

no, im not usung ae button
how to run this navdbgtool.exe ?
----------------------------
ok - it can be run by download htc test.zip
is it normal that i dont have full circle - its look strange - example below
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Just run it from the device, and click on it. I didn't include a shortcut, but you can send one to the start menu.

i've just edited my previus post - could you tell me is it wrong that i dont have full circle
im new user so i just cant post images and links - just copy-paste this address to see what i have in NavDbgTool img716.imageshack.us/img716/6064/htctouchpronavdbgtool.jpg
my center d-pad is working - but not with camera
this is another img with efects of using navDbgTool:
---

its not a full circle around dpad - its something wrong (some bad callibration)
or its just alright
maybe everyone has the same

[Q] Remapping BT Headset Buttons (Change Call Button function)

I recently bought a Nokia BH-503 Bluetooth headset, and it has 4 buttons, 3 for media, that work flawlessly, and a Call button. Here's an image:
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Since the Xoom doesn't have phone functions, this button is unusable for me, so I thought about remapping it, but couldn't find any app that could do it. Most apps would work with headsets with 3 buttons.
If possible, I want to remap it for voice commands/action, I'm not sure what is supported on the Xoom (I had some problems with one of my tests, saying Voice Commands are unsupported), so, anything that I could touch the button, speak a function, and receive it by sound.
I searched and couldn't find, in fact, when searching for headsets and Android, usually I would find that calls works, and media not.
Xoom Wifi - Stock ICS 4.0.3 - Rooted
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
My tries [None worked]
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
I tried Headset Button ControllerTrial, but not only the Debug mode didn't work, there were no options related to a "fourth button".
I also tried Button Remapper, and it found the buttons, but...
It shows me the buttons (If I disconnect the headset, it crashes, so I believe they are all from it) (I don't know shy it won't show the 3 hardware buttons...), but there are buttons that just don't exist.
I tried changing the only button not directly specified on the phone controls, the Stop button, to Search, but nothing changed and the buttons are doing the exact same thing.

Thoughts
I have started researching this subject but have made little progress.
I believe how the remapping software you are using just modifies the Keyboard layout files in order to remap the functions (just an assumption). I tried doing this myself and it failed.
I think the reason is because bluetooth commands are handled separately from the keylayout mapping. It is built into the android system itself so it needs a custom program to intercept the command and set another function.
For reference, I would suggest you read this: stackoverflow.()com/questions/6287116/android-registering-a-headset-button-click-with-broadcastreceiver
The only solution I can come up with is writing a custom app. It is doable, but will take some time.
