Is there a way to modify which apps the hardware buttons run?
There are reg keys to change the right softkey. I really want to change the voice dial one though. I never use it, but it'd be so nice to change it to something more useful like a task manager.
Which registry key exactly needs to be changed?
I'd like to be able to hook the two keys which are left and right of the 5-Way Navigation. Actually what are the official names for these keys?

I tried my best to change the "Voice Command/Voicenote" key at the left side (the one below the volume up/down keys). No luck yet. See the last posts in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794
Anyone else knows how to remap this key? And does anyone know how to remap the left- and right Softkeys?
EDIT:
Finally found the right tool for doing this. It's called AE Button Plus and it's great.

Good Evening
I downloaded a PTT fix from http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/1054343-1.html & installed the .cab file. It created a button 5 option in my settings/buttons menu. However, when I set that option for camera instead of PTT...it still initializes the PTT vs the camera. I'm going to assume that the PTT is not button 5 on the fuze, hence why it won't work. Does anyone know which button that it might be, and how i could edit that file? or make my own work around?
Thanks
The PTT might be hard wired to the PTT hardware needed for ATT's push to talk, kinda silly really I don't see why they still push this I've yet to meet anyone on ATT who uses this feature, maybe one day ill run into a cunstruction worker who knows.

I'd love to see a solution to this too. I tried the Tilt registry hacks that let you re-map the PTT button but all that did was disable the button completely. (Which is still an improvement because at least now I don't have the PTT message come up every time I accidentally hit that button...)
Black93300ZX said:
CONFIRMED, this is how to keep that annoying PTT message from coming up on American Touch Pro's (Fuze maybe? whatever).
Keep in mind, you can't individually map this button with this method, that may come later.
Step 1: Registry editor, remove HKLM/Services/PTT
Step 2: Create a key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys called "40C2"
Step 3: Create a string within that key, titled Name with the value being "Button 6" or whatever
Step 4: Soft reset.
From this point on you can remove 40C2, but your PTT button will simply perform with a press what your send button performs with a hold (which can be remapped easily... Settings/Buttons/Button1(Hold)).

I were to remove that string after i install the .cab, would that disable PTT,and the settings menu take over?
I realize I can do a registry hack, but I was looking for something that A) would be easy to install/uninstall B) would add an easily accessible option to the settings on the phone.

Um that is the easiest way right now.
And it does as B). Just change what Button 1 (Hold) to whatever you want and that's what your PTT button will act as.
Alright, its Button 1...awesome. Now lets see if I can find that setting ;-)
In settings/personal/buttons
...there is only an option for button 5, and button 5(hold). 1-4 do not show up there. How would I go about editing button 1's action?
Thanks alot
I found a program called AE BUTTON PLUS, it allows you to map any hardware button on the device. The PTT button is not listed by default so you need to "add button" it will then ask you to press the hardware button you would like to map, after that it shows up on the list and you can map it... I have found that adjusting long press setting causes issues, but tap and double tap work fine. I have tap disabled since I always hit the key by accident, double tap is Torch. Working fine so far. I believe you can even map individual keys on the keyboard in the same way.
I tried to use AE Button Plus(registered it), and had no luck creating an action for the PTT button. So I followed the registry ediit intructions, again..with no avail.
My PTT is disabled, which as previously stated, is better than nothing.
I would like to clarify two things. Does 40C6, and 40C7 relate to PTT on all devices, or is this a phone by phone basis? 40C6 could be PTT on a tilt, but the touch may be 33D4. Noobish question, but I'm not sure how this stuff works.
Also you said its "Button 1". Again, does this refer to hardware button # 1. Or is this just a random name we give it so we know which one to edit in the buttons menu?
So if I use 40c6, and 40c7 for "Button 1", and "Button 1(hold)"...it should work?
...I also used Button 6 & Button 6 hold as in the Tilt instructions. Same function.
I appreciate the assistance gang!
any1 have any luck?
If you want to remap the PTT button using a cab file (instead of manually doing reg tweaks) just look here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/ptt-remapping-revisited-application/
pretty simple but read the 'update' at the end
Hi. Suppose I just want to remap the long end key press button to something other than the HTC dafault. Do I need AEBPlus for that? I assume that would be a overkill for remapping just one button. The HTC interal app only allows to either display the quick list or make 4 other actions. I was wondering if I can change that to something else without using the AEBPlus app. I just wanted to run the comm manager rather than the htc options
Thanks
Don't get your hopes up about AE Button cause it don't work if your using touch gl. Apparently touch fl keeps regrabning the keys so sometimes they work snd sometimes they dont. I gave up. i think ot might work better with the hold button but like i said i got frustrated snd gaveup when thr suthor told mr there was nothing he could do..

Actually I don't need it working with the TouchFlo, as I don't use TF. I only want to remap the long end press button to the comm manager. Of course it would have been great to also map a long press on the Home button or the Back button but I think I read that's not possible even without TouchFlo ?
what no one answered ? wow i thought that's easy,a metter of registry or link change. quite disappointing.
I am also looking for a way to change the back button to run some other program...
How to assign a shortcut to EndKey, SendKey ....
Not tried myself on TP, but maybe it's useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322
Create a shortcut in your windows directory called long_end.lnk
whatever the shortcut points to will run when you long press the end key.
There are a few of these hard press shortcuts
long_end.lnk
long_send.lnk
long_power.lnk
long_ptt.lnk
short_power.lnk
short_ptt.lnk
I can remap all the buttons except the Long End. Somehow the Long End button is mapped to the phone Lock. Where can I disable that and allow for my own?
Start, settings, system tab, long press end key
if you don't see what you want there ... we might have to figure out how to disable the long press htc software
I cooked my own rom and I didn't put in long press end key. I assumed it wouldn't have installed any reg settings for it, guess I'll have to check. Thanks!
For some reason if you don't add HTC Long End to the ROM, it will stick on one setting and can't be changed. Weird, but fixable. If you install HTC End Key (the cab is somewhere on here) it will override the previous setting and then you can either select your preference from within the program or create a custom link. Not sure about the second idea working, since I haven't tried it myself, but I've been able to override HTC End Key when it was installed on previous phones. You could also consider un-installing it after installing it if all else fails.

Yeah, I recooked the Long End Key Press in, but there isn't a custom selection part of it so that must be a different version of End Key software. It's ok not too important.

Just for those who wonder, AEButton can remap everything (single, double, triple, long presses) on all keys except two: Long Green and Long Red.
You either need to disable Long End Key software or find some other way to hard map these.
Using my HTC Touch Pro. I am still unablet to map the Long press End Key to something other than the limited options that the HTC Long Press End Key program settings offer.
I simply wish to map the long press end key to run a different program. I tried the suggestion offered on this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1783616#post1783616) but it doesn't work. I put a file called Long_End.lnk in the windows directory, soft reset the device and still it doesn't map to that. Only displays the HTC 'quick list'.
I am not running TF3D.
Anyhelp ? To map to any program I choose ?
Thanks
So no buddy managed to map the End button long press to some other program than the options that the HTC's prg in the settings allow ?
I want to remap the End key to open Phone Weaver Profiles which is much more useful than what the HTC Long End Pressapp offers.

That's not the full story ....
on ex: HTC HD
there are buttons:
"Green Key", -> mapping possible but without Long Press
"Home Key" -> nothing possible !!!
"Back Key" -> not really mapable (mapping possible, but always send to wanted mapping ~backspace and jump back to Homescreen and then the mapped button will execute - little bit strange ..)
Longpress also doesn't work
"Red Key", -> mapping possible but without Long Press
tried with aebutton also (last version)
some additional ideas ?

HI!
I'm another one that tried everything to remap the long end key without that HTC app and no solutions.
What we really need is to know how to disable that app from the system.
Anyone help us!
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/

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for your help! I think I have most of it all working the way I want now, but I will keep playing around with it some more. :good:
@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,
