Hi,
Can you clarify 'works perfect' on the TG01 - I am using the (registered) Buttons Plus, but have only been able to get it to support a single alternative button press on the Camera, bottom 'Zoom' bar and right-hand 'OK' button.
Could you please share your settings which allow you to get it to work with multi-settings per button, and also specify buttons are you able to get it to work with ?
Would be really appreciated
Many thanks,

As known, TG01 don't have hardware buttons....so when I say "perfect" I mean as perfect as possible....
I don´t use camera button (I'm afraid camera could fail)
I'm using only volume buttons and the zoom bar.
Volume UP:
1. Single press: PageDn
2. Double press: PageUp
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Volume DOWN:
1. Single press: "Resco Audio Recorder -rec"
2. Double press: "Resco Audio Recorder -exit"
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Zoom bar: (Button #405C)
Alt+Tab (Change between opened apps)
How to map zoom bar:
a) Open AEBPlus (I have v2.6)
b) Tap Left softkey: File
c) Add button
d) Add Key (Touch the zoom bar: The program detects Key code 405C as Win Key)
e)Tap Add Key
You'll have a new button called Button #405C
Tap & Hold over the new line (Button #405C) and assign Alt+Tab to it
The program ask to self reset, say Yes and .... here you are!

some doubts
You seem knoweleagble: I would like to receive your suggestions
I onw two units of HD2, I am trying to understand how to use AE buttons, then I will surely buy it, but I have many doubts…
Questions:
1. Where can I find a complete tutorial?
2. Where can I find a help, to understand each functions? I mean, not FAQ, just a help file.
3. from AEBPlus Settings > add button > ONLY 2 hardware buttons can be captured (the one with white backspace arrow on it and the home with a home depicted on it)
the other 5 buttons cannot be sensed: I mean
- phone button: if pressed the phone canvas appear, the ADD KEY screen disappears and no key code appears
- same story for the phone-OFF button and for the volume up and volume down buttons.
4.
Since at least one button is recognized (the white backspace) I have set it to work as follows:
1st short press > open contacts
2nd key press > open excel
3rd key press > open opera
4th key press > calculator
But ONLY short press and long press do work! The other 2 cannot work (Therefore I cannot open excel and opera…)
Additionally: if I want to open CONTACTS, I just need to press short and CONTACTS application appears on my screen
If I want to use CALCULATOR > I need to press AND HOLD! If so CALCULATOR shows up. If I pull off my finger from the hardware button > calculator disappears and the home page comes back…
Please can you explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks and waiting for any help and suggestions

[Q] Button Long Press Mapping

Hey everybody, I've been having some trouble with my Nationite Midnite (Wits A81E).
My hardware buttons (softkeys) for back, menu, and home are broken. I have an app installed that lets me use a touchscreen button for them but the only one that actually works is the home screen button. What I want to try to do is edit the key mappings so that a long press of the functioning volume buttons could be assigned to back and menu. If anyone knows anything about this, please help me! Thanks in advance!

[Q] Power strip for galaxy note

I have used this app before. . And its a wonderfull addon to the ui... But wen u double press the home button, you get the voice talk... And there is no search button for the galaxy note.. Has anyone successfully made it to run on the galaxy note..? If so how

Just downloaded this app, quite useful. WRT your question, I went into the voice app when you double tap the home button, then settings and disabled the option to launch when double tap home key. Now on one press of the home button brings up the power strip and then a second press takes me to my home screen.
Hope that helps

Thanx.. I didnt know that you could disable the double tap to open voice app.. I installed it and set it.. Wen i tap it once it opens the powerstrip and i have to tap again to go to the home screen.. Isnt their any setting on it so as to double tap to directly go to home without waiting for powerstrip to appear on your first click??

I've been a Power Strip user for quite a long time but then I switched to Wave Launcher. Does the same job but activating it is less troublesome for me (swipe up from the very bottom of the screen). Plus it looks better in my opinion.

search? press and hold the left soft button.

How do u set it up to use powerstrip?? Did u mean to long press the menu button?? I cant make it to work... How did u set it up?

Yup, long press (well, not that much, it appear really quickly). Btw I use launcher pro, but I don't think it's a feature of it (I mean, will probably do the same whit touchwizz or else).

[MOD][ICS] use search as power button

hello everyone, here is a mod which will let you use your search button as power button. this package is created for those who have broken power button
by applying this mod you can use the search button to lock your device or to get the power menu
as the search button is capacitive touch button you cannot use it to wake your screen but you can use your volume button to wake your screen
today in almost every custom rom there is a option for waking mobile by pressing volume key
download

Surely will save someone's broken power. I tried, it works, and I will include it in next version of my ROM.
Good use for useless button! Yay!

looking forward on your next release

This may not belong here, but I thought if anyone knew it would be you... Is there a way to re-map the menu button to pop up recents instead of menu, and then menu on long press?

[Completed] Screenshot issue on new 6.0.1 cm13

hey, im new into those kind of stuff i just upgraded from stock 5.0 to cm13 and when i try to screenshot when i press home button it comes up with the google thing, and my issue is that i want to make screenshots like i used to simply press home button and power button and seeing that they are being saved.
what should i do

Hi there and welcome to assist,
There are two methods to take a screenshot on CyanogenMod 13 that are based on Android 6 respectively. The first method is more preferrable. The second one can be handy in certain situations.
Method 1
Press Volume Down + Power Button simultaneously.
Method 2
1.Go to Settings.
2.Scroll down to the Device section and tap Buttons:
3.Enter the Power Button Menu.
4.Activate Screenshot feature:
Now when you need to take a screenshot on CyanogenMod, press and hold the Power button and then tap on Screenshot:
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
