Under settings buttons... always worth switching off and restarting then if that does not hard reset.

same problem here........................probably you installed another key mapper too? (AEBPlus).
It seems a hard reset is the only solution, or somebody could post the registry entry where this key map is defined!?
TIA
Yep put AEBPlus in didnt like so i uninstalled it now no comm manager Ahhh!!!!
After uninstalling AEBPlus, you keep stuck with only "4 buttons", at least in the System Settings. Happily everything keeps working...............expect the CommMgr button.
Either somebody posts the correct reg-entries for this key, or you have to do a hard reset.
I think it might be solved if you place the original files back into: \Windows\AppButtons
Maybe somebody can post a RAR file of that folder?
Second thing, I found the keys in the register. They can be found here:
Mobile device\HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
You will see that the 4 keys are there left by AEBPlus. The missing keys should be here when you have a working Wizard
Hope someone can post the keys and values aswell?
I had the same problem. The registry values in this post will restore function:

You have to add a string to the register. Then give that string the right name and value
AEBPlus was completely rewritten recently. New version will not harm any application buttons ever, compatible with almost any WM 2003/2003SE/2005 device and has a lot of new features

OK! I was trying to get TF3D 0.6.7 to work and it was giving me an error. There are 2 fixes posted by the author. I tried the first one with no luck, the second one worked great!
The first one is to go to HKLM/Driver/Touchpanel and make a new Dword.
For reasons I cannot explain I did not think to back up my registry! Now, the touch screen won't work except for the task manager arrow. Nothing else no matter how hard I push or with what.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it or does can someone possibly make an exacutable registry key I can launch or install some how? I thought you could use PHM from the desktop as well. Any registry editors that will work through active sync on the PC? If so, what is the value supposed to be and what kind of key is it supposed to be? Thanks in advance.
soft reset?
have you tried a soft reset?
If everything else fail, you should maybe just re-flash your phone.
Before flashing try to hard reset.
Press and hold VOL.DOWN Button & ENTER Button
And while holding press the soft reset button (under the stylus)
When a message appears on your screen u can release the
Volume down button and enter button.
Use "Mobile Registry Editor" to change the setting back while the device is recognized by ActiveSync. (You can hit Cancel on the ActiveSync pops and it will let you use the device in Guest mode)
You can also use some remote control utility like MyMobiler or EveryWAN to use the device through the computer.
MyMobiler should definitely help. Try it out..

Hey there...hope this is at least a bit helpful..
I was digging in the registry and found this key:
HKEY_Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C6
There are these values:
BtnWnd - 0x0(0) - wtf
Flags - 0x9(9) - wtf
Icon - \windows\SDDialer.exe, 0 - hmm?
Name - Button 1(Hold) - you know where my point is?
ResetCmd - blahblah\Voice speed blah blah
WndCls - wtf
Do you think that this may lead to some mapping of the buttons?
Like the directory for these keys is called 40C6, what if other buttons are other names??
I am a bit noob in this stuff so maybe this is discovery like ****...but if it makes sense somehow then hurrray
Let me know waht you think....
Thanks.
You should try AEBPlus (there are bound to be alternatives, but that's what I use). It allows you to map all the buttons except the Home-key, you can also map different things to long-holds, double presses, triple presses etc. Oh one tip, if you are going to use AEBPlus, the back key should be mapped under the 'OK-key' in the program, adding the button manually (by pressing it and letting the software detect it) doesn't work for the back key.
ow shooots
I thought that this topic is still open...but as I can see there is a solution to map other buttons as well...
whoop, sorry for nothing then
Hi,
AEButtons is not really working well on my Blackstone.
It would be great if someone would find how to make appear the 6 'hard' buttons (vol up, vol down, red key, home, back and green key) in the buttons configuration at settings.
In this way we could assign the funtion we want, without having to use a resident program which may create conflict with some applications (like Manila).
I learnt that the back button is #405C.
Thanks

Hi all, is there a program that will help me map my hard keys on my omnia. I want to change a few default presses to other stuff.
I have searched and searched but no programs come up, this must be relatively easy??
Cheers
http://tinyurl.com/cnqr67
please, learn how to search..better
i've looked but still can't find a decent program? any help
Did you click his link? It's all there(AEbutton Plus) But I am pretty sure no2chem is woring on a better solution
I don't know anything about the omnia, but on every htc phone I have had there are .exes for power off button and usually others.
The power button has a .exe called 'powerOffWarning.exe' in the windows folder, just rename the .exe of the program you want, such as-
where 'deviceLock.exe' is the program you want to run, and you want to run it from the power button, rename it to 'powerOffWarning.exe', then put it in the windows folder.
There are often other keys such as 'endkey.exe'. Generally if a key has a long hold function, it can be changed, on my diamond on the send key is available to configure in \start\settings\buttons, but i have changed the send, end, and power keys
questions don't belong here.
please refer to the Q&A section
thank you
LATEST UPDATE - 24/08/2009
Version 1.1 Uploaded - Now included the option to turn on the power with any key when the keyboard is open.
You need MortScript installed you can find the CAB in \Program Files\DPB\MortScript.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update - 18/08/09
All four options have now been wrapped up into one CAB.
Install the CAB and Run DPB in Programs and you can select which option you wish to enable.
Also, you can Reset the Device to it's default state.
You will need Mortscript installed on your device - the next version will include it.
***Delete DisablePowerBtn.mscr from \Windows\StartUp if you have previously manually copied the file from the zip OR Uninstall the CAB made by MONX before you install this version.
You can also delete the directory: \My Documents\Mortscript
The CAB is at the end of this post.
Cheers,
Andy

Previous Release Notes....
Quick update :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4337281&postcount=13
Now the device should never turn off when the keyboard is open.
**Now also disables the Long Key Press of the Power Button
I know the issue of hitting the power button when the hardware keyboard is open is an issue for some people and has certainly been annoying me.
I am no programmer or expert but through trial and error I have written a script that senses when the keyboard is open that creates 2 links in \windows called 'Short_Power.lnk' & 'Long_Power.lnk'- These links runs another script that does nothing but now the power button does not respond when pressed. When the keyboard is closed the script deletes the shortcuts from windows and the power button returns to normal.
In the zip there are four files.
DisablePowerBtn.mscr - unzip and move to \Windows\Startup
Short_Power.lnk - unzip and place in \My Documents\Mortscript (You may have to create this directory)
Long_Power.lnk - unzip and place in \My Documents\Mortscript (You may have to create this directory)
Sleep.mscr - unzip and place in \My Documents\Mortscript
As I said I am no programmer but maybe there is an expert that could improve this or make a cab to automatically put the files in the right places.
You have to have Mortscript installed for this to work !
Note of caution - because I am no expert and this is running in the background I am not sure what system speed or resource issues this may create.
All I can say I have it on my TP2 and it works like a charm.
Any form of feedback would be appreciated - negative included.

Hi, thanks for the advice as I said I am no expert.
I tried your suggestion.
What it seems to do is disable the power button with the keyboard shut and you then have to open the keyboard to turn the power on.
Maybe I didn't explain properly what I am trying to do. On the TP2 when you are typing on the HW Keyboard you can inadvertantly touch the power button which turns off the screen. The script I have written watches for the keyboard to open then copies the Short_Power.lnk to \Windows. This link points to the Sleep.mscr which just contains one line - 'Sleep(1000)'. When you close the keyboard the link is deleted therefore renabling the power button to normal.
I admit it is complicated but I only want to disable the power button when the keyboard is open.
I am sure there is a better way of doing this but with my level of expertise this is all I can achieve. However, it works.
Thanks
Just installed it, restarted device, and it works! thank you very much, i love it!
Very good !
Packed & tested. Cab inside zip (sorry cant upload cab from my office ) With/out mortscript
(If u dont want to restart, just run/double tap \Windows\Startup\DisablePowerBtn.mscr manually)

-MortScript + dahoarty disable short power button
-dahoarty disable short power button only (MortScript not included)
-dahoarty disable short and long power button (MortScript not included)
-MortScript + dahoarty disable short and long power button
-dahoarty disable short and long power button and disable device suspend timeout (ref:#13) (MortScript not included)
-MortScript + dahoarty disable short and long power button and disable device suspend timeout (ref:#13)
Cabs are updateable after installation.

Thanks Monx for creating the cab it will now be easier for anyone wishing to use the script.
Cheers mate.
Wow, that was really anoying me! Thanks for this. Installed the cab and after a reboot, no more switching off in mid writing.
I wonder if there is a similar thing which can be done for the long press power button, to suppress the 'Power Off' message? Rarely occurs so no biggie but would be nice.
This is genius!

I have updated the files to also disable the long key press
Thanks!
This certainly works brilliantly but I have another suggestion...
Would it be possible to only have the button disabled while the device is powered on? If the device powers off by itself after the timeout, you have to close the keyboard, power on and then re-open the keyboard to carry on where you left off.
Again, not a major issue so no biggie if it isn't possible but I think that would be the final touch to this great fix!
+1: Great little tool.

This with another twist:
I realize that you have done a new version, which disables the "long press power off" function. How about making "long press power button" turn the device on when the keyboard is open?

I am still working on your suggestion. However, I have created a new version which reads your current power settings on battery power. When you open the keyboard the suspend timeput is disabled. When you close the keyboard the suspend timeout returns to the setting you had previously chosen (I hope ).
In other words when the keyboard is open on battery power the device never turns off.
Just unzip the file and copy it to \windows\startup - then reset your device.

Sounds interesting. Thanks. Will test that.
is there a way to wrap all four of these into one cab? BTW, once you install a cab file, do you have to keep it?

I quite like my device auto switching off after 1 min to help conserve battery life.
Does this mean it's not possible to have the power button operate only when the device is switched off, while the keyboard is still open?
If not, how about creating a keyboard combination to switch the device back on, since the keyboard is already open. For example, press Ctrl+Shft+O to power on?

I am working on a solution to this.
However, I have worked on the principal that I only ever have the keyboard open when I am typing something. When I've finished I close the keyboard and the power options return to normal.

I installed that 1 .cab file but it doesn't work... Shows up in the Remove Programs list but Power button still functions when the keyboard is open.
-- EDIT --
Actually it was my bad. Didn't have mort script installed... RTFM!!!
Everything is now working fine. Thanks again for this great release... Hitting the power button was a huge annoyance for me when using the keyboard...
