Before I start, I apologise if this has already been answered elsewhere, as I've spent about five hours trawling through threads looking, in vain, for a solution.
I have bought a new Fuze but the PTT button causes a problem with the aluminium case I bought for it. The problem is that the case is for a Touch Pro and the latch is right where the PTT button is (meaning the button is permanently depressed when the case is closed). It cannot be remapped in Settings/Buttons.
All I want to do is to be able to disable the button completely, or failing that make it an 'OK/Close' button. I have got rid of the PTT link but would greatly, greatly appreciate if someone could tell me what commands should be written in "short_PTT.lnk" and "long_PTT.lnk" to be able to do this. I've tried just leaving both blank but then the PTT button brings up an error message when pressed about not being able to find the shortcut.
Is there a way to achieve either of these solely using the registry, and without using third-party software?
Thanks for your time.
Here's full instructions on remapping your PTT button: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=598
To just disable it so it does nothing follow the steps at the beginning:
Using a registry editor delete HKLM\Services\PTT.
Next delete HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT.
Navigate back to the Windows directory and rename PTT to PTT2
Now create a new folder called PTT and set the properties as System and Read Only
If you follow all of those instructions and want to map it to close use this app and map it: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1249
Problem fixed
You're a great person, bugsykoosh. I had done the first part you suggested, but the second link - and use of a tiny program called Zap It - fixed it perfectly.
Thank you heaps.
Okay so what is the joke why does this work for EVERYONE, except me. I mean seriously. I followed the steps but nothing. I press the button and I get nothing at all except the noise that indicates the keypress was succesfull WHAT GIVES.

This is overkill. You don't need to mess around with the PTT directory. If you just stop the PTT service from running, nothing will look in the PTT directory and its contents don't matter.
Just change HKLM\Services\PTT\Dll to an empty string and soft reset. The button will be completely inert. You can then remap it using AEBP or the short_PTT/long_PTT shortcuts, if you choose, or just leave it inactive.
Today
WMM,
If you change as you suggested, it looks like the long and short still work. I've remapped and did all the steps, but it looks like yours may be a little easier/cleaner. I'm curious, and I've looked extensively to no answer, but if I want the short press to just send my Fuze back to "Today" (in TF3D), is there a way to do that? If I press Start the first option is Today and this does exactly what I want. There's no shortcut that I can locate anywhere (and I'm sure it's my ignorance/technical inability) and the next step is to make a copy of that shortcut and name it short_PTT which I can handle. Any suggestions?
So, it isn't possible to map the PTT button from the Settings - Buttons screen? Looks like the method linked to above, with the short_PTT and long_PTT shortcuts, won't allow me to map the PTT buttons to work as the left and right softkeys.
As far as I know (which isn't very far, sometimes), the only way to get the PTT button to execute "Home" or the left/right soft keys is to use AE Button Plus. There may be applications that do those things that you can download (I know there are for things like toggling wifi and bluetooth, killing the current application, etc.) -- these are really tiny utility applications that are specifically intended for mapping to a button -- but I don't know of ones that do those particular things. (AEBP is able to do all those things, as well as giving you four mappable events -- single, double, triple, and long press).
okay seriously here do the links need to have special settings or anything. I mean what attributes should they have. Nothing works!
For the life of me, I can't remap my PTT button.
On a short press, it activates the voice command system.
On a long press, it activates the camera.
This seems to be from flashing NATF's ROM.
Following instructions above, I have no HKLM\Services\PTT or HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT in my registry editor.
I did the short and long_PTT/link and PTT folder in Windows. The links work there, but doesn't change what happens when the button is pushed.
I have AEButton Plus, but can't get it to add the PTT as a button.
Any suggestions where I can find in the registry what is making my PTT button act as it is? I'd rather have it do nothing than what it is doing now.
Thanks,
Chris

Yes, I believe NATF did not add the PTT stuff from AT&T into his ROM; the instructions above are for the stock AT&T ROM. You'll have to ask NATF how to remap the PTT button using his ROM.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. As I mentioned in my last posting just above this one, this probably only works in a ROM that supports PTT, like the stock AT&T ROM; if you're running something that doesn't support PTT, it would be a real surprise if "short_PTT" and "long_PTT" meant anything special, no? Assuming you are running the stock AT&T ROM, here's a step-by-step procedure for creating the short_PTT link to point to the Camera application using the built-in File Explorer.
1) Open File Explorer. If the drop-down box at the upper left says anything other than "My Device," tap the small down-arrow next to the label and then tap on "My Device."
2) Tap on "Windows" and wait a few seconds for the folder contents to appear.
3) Scroll down until you see "Camera" (the one that's 794K). Tap and hold that until the pop-up menu appears and then tap on "Copy".
4) Tap on "Menu" in the lower right, then "Edit", then "Paste Shortcut".
5) Scroll to the very bottom of the folder contents and you'll see "Shortcut to Camera" that was created. (The name may be truncated, depending on the size of the font and the screen orientation. Mine says, "Shortcut to Ca..." in portrait orientation. In any event, it will be the last thing in the folder contents.) Tap and hold on that until the pop-up menu appears and then tap "Rename". Then just type "short_PTT" to overwrite the existing name and hit return.
That's all you need to do. (If the application you want to run with the PTT button is in a different folder from \Windows, navigate there, tap-hold on the application executable, and select "Copy". Then navigate to \Windows and do steps 4 and 5 exactly as above.) This works exactly the same for the "long_PTT" shortcut.
If you do exactly that, does it not work? What happens if you tap the "short_PTT" shortcut in File Explorer? Does it start the camera?
Here is a link to a cab that will allow you to remap the PTT button: http://www.fuzemobility.com/ptt-remapping-revisited-application/
Remap PTT to launch phone Speed Dial?
I have disabled PTT so that I can use the button to launch programs - I just dont know how to launch phone speed dial - Does anyone know if there is a file that will launch speed dial that I can use to link to the PTT button?
Thanks!

if your goal is to map your PTT button to call a single person check this posting: http://www.mobilitydigest.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3635
Here is another source that gives you step by step instructions.

Note that if you're using the stock Fuze ROMs, the updated ROM from HTC adds the ability to remap the PTT button without any registry hacks.

Can you post instructions as to how? I tried it already and the pulldown that shows you the available apps you can pick only shows PTT.
Best regards,
JD
So I followed the registry edit method, and created a file (not a folder) called PTT and things work great .... except ... when its on Airplane mode (Phone, Bluetooth and Data set to off) and I press the button (short or long) the PTT function kick off.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Anyway to change this behaviour?

Something's odd with your phone, then. Mine shows the full list of apps and options. I remapped PTT to VC without an issue.
Is it possible that you've got an application that's taking over the Buttons Control Panel? On mine, I had to remember to shut off SPB Pocket Plus's control over the buttons since it doesn't work with the Touch Pro line. When I first fired up the control panel, it listed no apps until I remembered that I had Pocket Plus running and turned of that feature.
Hi,
does an app exists which allows a shortcut for creating a sms? not go to inbox --> menu --> new message?
And a second question.
At the bottom of the touchscreen is the button phone. It has the same functionality as the the (hardware) button bellow. Is it possible to change the functionality of thr touchscreen button?
I created this for my old phone, but it works on WM6.5 also.
Can't help about the phone button, though.

This is something I would really like to know to. I would like a "lock" option there instead of Phone. I have looked around and even started a thread about this, but haven't got any replies.
to change it you need to edit
Code:
HKLM\software\HTC\manila\*
HomeLSKPath
HomeLSKArguments
HomeLSKText
To add in device locking i recommend installing device lock , as it gives you the lock button needed.
that should about do it
Is it possible to remove short cuts from the main menu but keep the programs installed? Or do the apk files need to be edited?
Long press on the shortcut, and move it to trash? Is this what you are asking?
Hello.
I was wondering weather it would be possible to remap the camera button on a WP7.8 device.
I managed to remap the button to WiFi Settings, however I was not able to get it to start a custom app (such as Quick Launch).
The key in the registry is:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
There you will find a string value called "Application".
What I did was edit the value to point to a different app (such as WiFi Settings, which would be 5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5623).
Does anybody know how to make it launch a custom app (as in not stock, but a sideloaded XAP)?
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did not find anything. The closest thing was on how to remap the keys for HTC phones through hex editing.
Thanks for reading
Hi there,
after struggling around with the mcte utils settings.ini file to remap buttons, I tought I might share what I learned.
This assumes, you have installed xposed, activated the mtce-utils module and placed the settings.ini file at your internal sc card (/storage/emulated/0).
Here's how to remap buttons:
PHP:
[android.microntek.service#keys]
# In this section, you have to put all GLOABL remap functions into. You can use the following ways or remapping:
# note: xxx always stands for the mtc-keycode. If you do not know them, you can use MTCD Tools -> Creata new bnding -> Obtain key sequence to get the key codes.
app_xxx=com.spotifiy.music
#--> this defines to launch any app, e.g. app_257 would in my case launch spotify when pressig OK button.
keycode_xxx = 4
# ---> with the keycode command, you can assign android keycodes. For example "4" is the back button, "87" is media next.
# a full list of android codes can be found here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/native/+/master/include/android/keycodes.h
activity_xxx = com.zoulou.dab/com.zoulou.dab.MainActivity
# --> this is to launch any activity. Always put a pair of app/activity with a slash in between. My example starts the DAB App.
intent_xxx= [any android intent action]
#--> this is to assign an intent. Couldn't test it yet.
keymtc_xxx= yyy
# --> this is used to reassign another mtc key.
[com.microntek.radio#keys]
# to remap buttons within specific apps, create an extra section which contains the app name [B][app.name#keys][/B]
# same as with global remapping, put the codes here as you which to reassign keys within special apps.
Well hope that makes the settings more clear for you.

I just made some small corrections to the above post and want to share my settings with you:
What did I actually do?
I changed the two steering wheel keys "Mode" and "List" to Keycodes 219 and 4. 219 launches Google Assitant, 4 is to go back. This way, I can easily launch Google Assistand for calls, navigation and spotify, tunein and can minimize if needed.
I assigned keycodes 87/88 to both forward/backwards keys, so that I in most apps can go forward/backward
I assigned my favorite apps to the buttons 1-6, which are DAB, TuneIn, Spofity, FM Radio app, Google Maps and Bluetooth Phone
So I can switch easily between all those apps. As the radio app has its own buttons assigned, here the keys 1-6 are still used as usual.
What doesn't work is the part where I wanted to fix wrong forward/backward keys in radio app. Assigning backward to forward and vice versa leads to a crashing radio app (behaves like non ending loop then)
PHP:
[android.microntek.service#keys]
activity_331=com.zoulou.dab/com.zoulou.dab.activity.MainActivity
keycode_365=4
keycode_276=87
keycode_278=88
keycode_256=219
activity_283=com.zoulou.dab/com.zoulou.dab.activity.MainActivity
app_284=tunein.player
activity_285=com.spotify.music/com.spotify.music.MainActivity
activity_286=com.microntek.radio/com.microntek.radio.MainActivity
app_287=com.google.android.apps.maps
app_288=com.hb.dialer.free
[com.microntek.radio#keys]
keycode_276=90
keycode_278=89
activity_331=com.zoulou.dab/com.zoulou.dab.MainActivity
Hope this helps!

I can not make settings.ini work, do you paste the file in / storage / emulated / 0 directly or put it in the mtce-utils folder?
Hy @gforums,
thanks for the little tutorial.
Unfortunately, changing the steering wheel buttons does not work.
I am currently using Android Oreo with the Malaysk Rom.
Enclosed my settings.ini
Code:
[android.microntek.service#keys]
keycode_258=87
keycode_316=88
@elavaro19:
as I understand it you have to put the ini file directly into the directory /storage/emulated/0.

I've used mtcd tools, option to select a new binding and then pressing the key I want to assign. Mtcd tools should show you the mtce key code then.

Did you reboot after changing the settings.ini? This is needed. Have you also activated the xposed-mtce-utils module? And checked whether the mtce key codes used are the right ones?
Are you on Malaysk?
I think I may have found the solution to this. I'll post it here if it works.

hello, Any news ?
Thank you very much for this! I was able to figure out how to remap most of the keys on my CAN bus steering wheel controls. I'm now trying to figure out how to find an apps key codes so I can assign them to other keys on the head unit... How did you find out what the key codes are for your DAB key codes in the very last section of the settings.ini?
I have 2 apps I'm trying to figure out. One I'm trying to do is the FM radio app; [com.microntek.music#keys] and would like to make to when I press and hold the "next or previous" buttons that changes the presets, then just a single press will seek the next FM station. Do you know if there is any command lines that can be added to make it use the press and hold of a button? So that a single button can do 2 actions? I've played around with some of the units key study that has the ability to change the units buttons and can assign a single press, and press and hold, but the list of keys that can be assigned is limited.
The other I need to figure out is one button in a special app that tells it's special USB to send a signal to turn on the factory DSP amplifier. That app has button within the app that can manually send the signal, but I can't figure out how to find it's key code. And there is no Activity for it that I can use that I can find. I use an app called QuickShortcutMaker to identify an apps Activities name that it has.
Thanks.
Hey guys,
can any1 please share respectively upload the latest mtce-utils? Can't find them...
Thanks in advance

--> activity_331=com.zoulou.dab/com.zoulou.dab.MainActivity
The keycode from the key I want to assign can be obtained my "mtcd key tool" or in hal9k rom, where you can activate that keycodes are displayed by key press. In my case, key 331 is the "1"-key from my orginal radio.
the app/activity combination can by obtained by the app "package name viewer" that lists you app names / activities of your insalled apps.
I do not know, how you can change behaviour between short and long press.
Also, how to change the behaviour of the keys within an app, is difficult. You can work with Intents, but I am not used to it.

@gforums or anyone with the answer, has anybody been able to remap a wireless keyboard/remote? Mainly I'm trying to get the volume and mute to work. I know that the volume is controlled by the MCU and the remote want's to control the media volume which does nothing on our units. I'm just not quite sure how it should be written for the mtce-utils .ini file.
MCU volume up/down codes for MTCE are: 273/281 respectively. And the remote/native android codes for volume up/down are: 24/25 respectively.
has anyone already tried get this running on android 9 (PX5)?
As xposed is needed and in android 9, xposed only can be installed as magisk module, I can't get it working.
So currently I do not know a way to change canbus keys in Android 9.
Anyone of you does?
Best regards,
Christian
Hi,
I'm running android 9, I installed Xposed, but how do you instal mtce-utils ? Can't find them anywhere.
