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:
{
"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"
}
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...

[BUG] Hardware Buttons not changable

I have following Problem:
I would like to change the Hardwarebuttons of my Leo but in the "Keys" screen there are none -.-
{
"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"
}
Also I have the Problem that it I cannot turn off the Windows Lock completely. I managed it to disable it when the device wakes up, but the lock activates when I turn off my phne with my HangOn button

you can use AEbutton plus
is working like a charm in leo
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

I wouldn't call it a bug. The buttons on the HD2 are already assigned to specific tasks already.
They wouldn't really want anyone assigning them to anything else. It's not like there are spare buttons (like on the X1) that aren't already assigned to specific functions.
So, like I said, not exactly worth calling a bug.

I cannot override the the hangOn button so the problem with the Windows Mobile Lock stays....

I've posted a reg for the send key in the hints and tips thread first page

no go
Looks like Aebutton and the reg key breaks existing button assignment.

I just installed AEBUttonPlus [because I had used it before on my HD - and I HATE not being able to scroll up/down a list of items WITHOUT triggering/opening one (EG spam email) ] - Stupid Windows/HTC AGAIN!
So I was trying to setup the HD2 the same way as I had it on my HD - that is;
'volume up HARDWARE button' has TWO functions = *one press = scroll up* : *Long press = Volume up* (same design for down of course)
But....I think I've possibly become less intelligent over the past year or something because I cant figure out how to do it in AEButtonPlus (and the website isn't much help) The prog itself isn't very intuitive, that much I do recall, but somehow I did manage it last year, to sort the HD - but can't replicate it now
If anyone knows what I mean and can help I'd be very much obliged - thanks!

[Q] How to take screenshot with ChaCha?

OK, here is what happened yesterday. I was looking what can my phone do, and I heard sound of camera (although I didn't run camera app).
On my screen I saw this:
{
"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"
}
I don't know what did I pressed, but I have screenshot of my home screen.
Anyone got a clue how did I done it? I didn't find on HTC site information about taking screenshots. I have to say that I don't have any app installed that can do this thing.

Same here ... I managed to take a screenshot by accident, but I don't seem to find how!

I asked the same question HTC support, I sent them a picture too, and here is answer:
Dear xxx,
Thank you for contacting HTC
Would you please try the Soft Reset :
Remove the battery, then re-insert it.
Note: Soft resetting your phone deletes all unsaved data.
if it didn't work try the factory Reset :
Notice: Make sure you have a backup of the data, if possible
While the phone is off, press& hold on the Volume Down button, press the power -while the volume down is still pressed-
Release Volume down, then follow the on-screen steps.
Note: A screen with 3 Androids will come up, Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP.
If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.
Please note that you can contact us via support line which is a toll free number 0800 982 773. For further details,please go to http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx ,
Thank you so much for using HTC products.

Not too much help from them at this point

Hold disconnect (red) button, then touch home.

Thanks man! It works! I got answer from htc, but they said I cant give that command to specific button...

Nice! Thanks for it! It works like charm

Works wery well. Thanks.
Just be careful to quickly "touch" home, as otherwise it shows the home screen and then takes the picture - so you get a picture of home screen, not of what you see on the screen when you press the shortcut...

This is so awesome!!!!!
I'd like to confirm that it works on the HTC Status as well, which is the North American name of the Cha Cha.

It works well on my ChaCha, thx you

[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?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge app to re-map power button to volume up or volume down?

Hello,
I have a small problem. My phone power button is damaged therfore pressing it is hard (works but poorly).
I need now to re-mail the power button so i can turn off screen when i need.
Can you recommend app that can do that.
I did get app named as volume powr but it seems buggy and app named buttons re-mapper seems to be also buggy.

Use Nova Launcher. It is the best Launcher out there (even better than the stock ones) and you can turn off screen by a gesture of your choice (e.g. double tap on homescreen).

Some ROMs allow eg double tap on the status bar to switch off. BatMan/SuperMan do that.
Button Mapper does exactly what you need - like you I had some issues with it, related to its occasionally not working. This was due to it being dozed by the OS (need to stop it being optimised) and by Greenify (again, exclude it). There is a Button Mapper thread in Apps & Games here in XDA, check it out. You'll get a lot of support there, the dev visits regularly.

What is your Android version and number?

In system info (in phone) shows Android 7.0

And check please ( Build Number)

Check this Mod
For me i like it sooo much.... I downloaded from 4pda
Make clock in status bar in the middle and have also power off when you press on the right side( long press open menu for: shutdown or restart or safe mode)
But make sure your Android version and build Number the same!!
Just download and install the file and make restart
PS: any promises I'm not responsible about it
And this is the link for the mod
