I know you can map the start manu to any of the hard buttons but I would like to map it to one of the soft buttons under the screen.
I know how to map the soft buttons to any application but I'm not sure how the start menu is called.
In the "Buttons" setting at "2. Assign a program:" you have to scroll up the list to the entries in "<...>". Those are the various assignable system features. One of it is "<Start Menu>".
For instance I assigned "<Start Menu>" to the Voice Dialer button and
"<OK/Close>" to the Internet Explorer button - very handy....
I want to assign it to one of the soft keys, not one of the keys you can map in "buttos"
Hi everybody,
I made almost the same.
the pitty of this way, it's the hard it becomes to navigate with one hand.
The thing I try to changes is when I use the phone, to set up the arrow key to access to the "Call History" or the "Speed Dial numbers" like with the Blue Angel (QTEK9090).
Does somebody know how to do it?
I tried AEBPlus, which is a freeware app that allows you to map your harware buttons to up to launch up to 3 different apps each (one click for first app, 2 clicks for second, 3 clicks for third). BUT... its not yet designed for the Wizard, so it does not recognize the soft key buttons yet. It also does not recognize the Comms Button...
So when I installed, I mapped IE button to 1 click = "OK" and 2 clicks "IE" and the Messaging button as 1 click = "start" and 2 clicks = "Messaging"
For some reason it remapped my "Comms Button" to "IE" and as I cant see that button any more in "settings/buttons" I cannot change it back :shock: But I have "Comms" set up as one of my "Start menu" items, so I can get to it via the button I mapped to the start menu.
I e-mailed the designer to see if he plans to update it for the Wizard. The wizard is included on his compatibility matrix, so he may be planning to. If he does that and includes the "soft key buttons" and the "comms button" we would be set.
Perhaps anyone else thats interested could e-mail him too and see if he will update it for a "donation" from each of us..? Its Alexander at : [email protected]

try this....
Just load Smartskey. It gives you a lot of secondary functions for soft keys and buttons. I really like it because it has default settings to open the start menu on a long press of the left softkey button, and to do an ok/close on a long press of the right softkey button. It can also manage OMAPClock overclocking functions, if you drop a copy of that app in the same folder as Smartskey.
I have a HTC TYTN II and a HTC Touch HD. On my TYTN II when I go to settings->buttons I see 6 buttons and can assign applications to them. On the Touch HD however I see only one button, which corresponds to the leftmost of the buttons on the phone. I want to assign an application to the back and the home buttons. I read that the back button is mapped to "OK" but how can I show it in the list of buttons, so that I can assign simething?
Now I can only assign functons to Button 1 (the green button), but can I also assign functions to other buttons (eg the up and down buttons)? In the Setting->Button, only I can chose the Button 1 only but no other button I can choose or add.
Thanks.
I do not think that you can do that. That's the beauty of touch phones, minimising button usage.
There's a software for that: AE Button Plus
in settings-buttons, I have only one button(button 1 Hold)-send.
but, I wanna also assign other buttons, home, window, back, end.
How can I add other options in button list.
Wanted to customize my hard keys but there is no buttons to assign in settings->personal->buttons, the menu is empty. Is that normal? How to add buttons there?
The 'Buttons' menu is a legacy of older WM versions- most current HTC touchscreen devices don't allow the buttons to be customised by default.
It might be worth trying AE ButtonPlus instead.
