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

Button 4 mapping problem (press & hold)

Hi!
I have a problem with mapping hard button #4 on my universal.
In Settings -> Buttons, I have Button 4 Press mapped to Voice Speed Dial,
and Button 4 Press & Hold mapped to Voice Recorder. But when I press
this button, always Voice Recorder will start - even if I tab this button for a short time,
or when I hold this button for 5-10 seconds... Always Voice Recorder
will run...
I have tried to change this mapping to other commands, but always taping this
button will start the command from Button 4 Press & Hold assigment...

Indeed you are right. This problem persisted even in the Helmi WM5 aku3.5 ROMs.

same problem here

The only solution I applied was using another application to assign the button presses to launch different applications. I use AE Button Plus: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=21070
But first I renamed "Button 4" to be "Press and Hold", and renamed "Press and Hold" to be "Button 4", since this is the button that is able to launch applications. I then use AE Button Plus to map the button assignments. There is also a freeware button mapper called PQZ: http://www.nicque.com/PQz/ Some say, PQZ is better, but I have not tried it myself, so I can't comment.

I have founded that problem is with MS Voice Command.
Before installing MS Voice Command, I was able to asign commands
to "press" and "press & hold" mapping. After installing MS Voice Command,
only to "press & hold" (works like simple "press")... Unfortunately,
uninstalling MS Voice Command didn't solve problem... But registry restore
from backup fixed that issue !!
So this problem seats in registry after installing MS Vocie Command...
Have anyone some idea what key couses that problem?
Maybe I will try to find solution, but I need an apliaction that can
check all modification in registry after installing some software...
Does anyone knows such software?

SKTracker does exactly that quite convenient (14 days trial).

Basically you could as well diff two registry exports, with VoiceCommand and after your restore.
(For this you may want to look at s-k-tools freeware as well...)

You can use SSNAP utility (from SK too) instead of sktracker. It does snapshots the register and keeps them in a plain txt-file. Then it is possible to compare two snapshots by using IDIFF utility (from SK too) on your PPC or by using fc.exe on your windows desktop computer.
You can find the above described utilities here http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html

How do I map extra buttons?

I have an hp ipaq RX 5915 with wm5. It has 7 buttons and a d-pad. When I try to map the buttons, only 4 of the 7 show up. Ideally I want to be able to use something like Vito Buttonmapper, but Vito only recognizes the 4 buttons. Is there a registry setting I can change to have my pocket pc recognize those buttons in the buttons settings section?
I have searched this forum, but couldn't find an answer. I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

There is button enhancer and mapping bible by Menneisyys. Hopefully you will find something that will work for you there.

Buttons are mapped by the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40Cx
(Probably after modifying these entries a reboot of the device is required to effect changes)

Try Hbutton , it allows you to asign more than one app to a button.
It's pretty powerful, I have 4 apps per button.

xdashutdown and long press power button

I would like to use xdashutdown with my xperia x2 but the Long_power.lnk file in the /windows directory doesn't work.
Should I edit something in the registry to use this long press power button with xdashutdown?
Thx

same problem

Perhaps it a specific hardware issue? The xdashutdown tool was written with HTC devices in mind.
I don't use it with my X2, but it would be interesting to hear if anyone else has it installed and working.

How to remap Hardware Buttons?

Hi,
on the X2 there is no "Buttons" app in the personal Settings Menu as usual found on like any other Windows Mobile Phone i ever used.
I tried the Vito Button Mapper 4.0 which is rather old and doesn't seem to work.
I want to remap the "Panels" Hardware Button to open the Start Menu instead, since I ripped the Panels off (with the SEUS-Method as described in ROM Development).
I bet this can be done via Registry somewhere, or anybody knows an app able to config the Buttons?
Thanks

After some hours of searching and trying i found the tool "AE Button Plus".
It's not free and not my first choice, since it's a memory resident app running in the background and hooking keys. Supports hold and multiple click stuff too.
I would prefer tweaking it via registry, but can't figure out how.
The key would be:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys]
Under this, the folders represent the buttons, but only two to be found on the X2 and I wasn't able to change them successfully. If anyone could figure this out, I'd be happy!
