Need help to map keys...

has anyone tried to map the rest of the buttons? i really need it to work...
thanks...

I use AE Button Plus for mapping my keys.
http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
It lets you even map things to the red and green call buttons, as well as teh volume slider. Also, it can activate different things for a single, double, triple or long press events. Practically quadruples the number of buttons you've got. Very recommended.

but ae button plus only allows u to control green, red and volume buttons.... i need to tweak the up, down, left and right buttons...

Can I map the Talk button on the headset, with this program?
I would like to use the Talk button to skip a track on media player...

And thanks the answer

sigh... need help here... in the end helped others...
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE!!! HELP!!!! :x

I also cannot understand why all key remapping software cannot remap all keys in the unit. This was not the case in a Treo. Could it be a hardware limitation?

[REQ] Change track using Vol Keys.

Hi,
Is anyone able to write a simple service or app that will hook the volume keys so that i can double tap or tap and hold the volume keys to change the track back and forward on the stock music player.
It's a bit of a pain getting the phone out every time I want to skip a track, especially since I like to drop things but also since I prefer not to take my desire or hero out and be seen with them in my local area.
Ain't too safe.
I still can't believe HTC didn't add this feature by default, I don't want to use the headset remote.
Thanks.

Well you can always modify the file bravo-keypad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
from
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
to
key 115 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 114 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
But then you have no volume keys.

HTC headset has track change controls?

That's exactly why I didn't do it and requested an app/service instead

I use my own set of earbuds, no way I'd ever take that stock crap out of the box.

You can open the track control unit and solder your own buds onto it :/

I know i _can_ but it's not the solution I'm after. My buds are expensive and I use them elsewhere too, as do I also plug several other things into the phone.
Essentially, I want hte controls on the phone, and independant of the phones or wiring.
Otherwise the first thing I would have done is modify the remote control. 2 minutes work for an electronic engineer. (most of which is waiting for the iron to heat up).
I'm surprised someone hasn't already written something like this, it seemed like an obvious addition to me.

i have htc touch pro, and i mapped nearly all hw keys to do something usefull.
hold send key = toggle screen brightness. hold end key = toggle vibrate. hold home key, get the task manager. when playing music, press dpad's down = next track, hold it = fast forward. same with dpad's up but reverse. dpad's middle key = play/pause. dpad's right/left, player's volume (dedicated volume keys controll system volume.)
seeing that evo has only volume and power hw keys, assigning different functions to them besides what they currently do is essential. you got my support here =)
i'm quite familiar with modding winmo phones, but havent played with android yet. tho once i get evo, trust me, ill do everything in my power to get those hw/sw key to function as desired =D

Yeh, this was a useful capability of WinMo. I miss that in Android, but not much else. The Desire like you said doesn't have many keys unfortunately, I'm even missing the Call and End keys I was used to on the HTC Hero, but that I can live with.
What I'd really like is the double press or press and hold for track change on volume keys just like Sony Ericsson's do.

Why moved?
Can someone please tell me why on earth this has been moved to the EVO 4G Apps and Themes Section?
The request is for an App for use on the HTC desire, which is where I posted it.

........................

My thoughts exactly.

any solution found yet, op?

Well still I want it for the Evo so if this gets moved again I am making a new one

i support this request as well... coming from BB i miss that functionality to skip tracks without having to look at or even pull out your phone

[Q] How Do I Change Track Song Track Using a Long Hold On the Volume Keys?

My friend told me there was a way to get my sg4gs to switch to the next track using the long hold of the up volume keys, similar to how my old blackberry storm did, and like my current jailbroken Iphone with activator does right now.
I have searched, but can't seem to find it on this forum.
Any help or direction where to look would be appreciated.

[Q] Question about Inline Remote/Mic Headphones Compatibility

I own a pair of Apple in ear inline headphones which I bought for about 80$. I don't plan to spend more money than this for any other headphones so I want to know if anyone can verify the compatibility with these headphones and the HTC Sensation. I am thinking of either getting this phone, the T-Mobile SGSII (depending on the performance of the new processor), or the Amaze 4G/ HTC Ruby. I was leaning to the HTC Sensation before because I know it comes with some inline headphones, but at the same time I know the quality of those headphones aren't as good as the ones I'm currently using. I don't know where I heard this (and correct me if I'm wrong) but I think I remember someone said that Samsung and Apple use similar stereo input so the headphones might be compatible with the SGSII. If someone could also verify this, it would be very helpful. Lastly depending on the compatibility of the headphones and if the rumors are true of the Amaze 4G/HTC Ruby using the same camera as the MyTouch 4G Slide, then I would probably lean to this over the Sensation.
Anyways I just need verification on the compatibility of these headphones with the Sensation and the GSII so I can decide on a phone to purchase next month because I'm about 6 months overdue for an upgrade.

I have tested stock Apple earbuds from the iPhone 4 (so they have the play/pause, volume+, and volume- buttons).
The only one that works is the play/pause, which works flawlessly. Fine recognition of single, double, and triple clicks.
Neither of the volume buttons work, however. I used an app called Headset Button Controller (Market link) for its "Debug Mode" that detects button clicks. Unfortunately, the Sensation doesn't even recognize any input from the volume+ or volume- buttons.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. I will definitely take this into consideration. I just have a few extra questions though. Does the microphone work and can the double and triple click be used for skipping tracks and FF/RW through songs(by holding double or triple click)? That's the only real thing I need to know now. I will try to get by with the volume keys.

Using the Sennheiser MM30i Headset for HTC One S Android

Just brought the Sennheiser MM30i Headset for my HTC One S,
for those wondering only the centre button works, the + and - buttons are not recognized.
However im using "Headset Button Controller" (there's a couple good headset programming apps this one lets you modify the button clicks, however the Jayy one sent my music player shuffling like crazy).
So basically i can control:
Answer Call/End/Pause/Start Music = 1 click
Reject Call / Next Track = 2 click
Volume up = Hold
Volume down = Click then hold
Music wise as with most Sennheiser earphones, the quality is good, the mic is clear and in a good position on the wire. All in all a good Earphone/Headset for an android device. IF only there was a way to get the other two buttons working it would be perfect.

Been using a pair of "regular" sennheisers plugs for a while, and i'm quite happy with them. but a mic + some form of controls would be nice to have, so these could be interesting.
How is the cable lengths? unequal or equal length for left/right plugs?

equal, both side go from the front, not long enough to drive one of them behind your neck.
I'm so sad mm50ips are off the market.
