A button remapping question

A question for someone more technical than I:-
I've just installed the very useful Hitchhiker. What I want to do is remap the Comm Manager button above the volume slider so that, when I press it, instead of launching Comm Manager, it switches on Wi-Fi and launches Hitchhiker.
Does anybody have a tweak for this? Preferably a cab as reg fiddling is beyond me.
Thanks.

It will be easy to set button 5 to hitchhiker, just go to settings\buttons and it allows you to change button assignments there. To have wifi come on at the same time one possible way is to have button 4 do it - click wifi on, click (hold) hitchhiker on.
Use vjvolubilis to get one click wifi on see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46947
hope that helps

Hmm... I might try "click button 4 for wi-fi, then hold button 5 for hitchhiker" for a bit and see how it goes.
Thanks.

Remap Hold Button 5?
Are you able to change the hold funciton on Button #5, the Comm Manager button? I saw that you were talking about doing that, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
I tried adding another folder in the Registry that related to the Hold function to 5 but I'm not sure if I set it up correctly b/c it's not working--it still only has the switch between virbate and normal modes of sound.
Thanks for your help.

Mapping a "real" close feature to a hardware butto

I've been using Spb Pocket Plus but I have recently switched to Sbsh's products due to their better speed and less memory loss, but in doing so I lost PP's great feature to make the close button actually close the program and also mapping it to a hardware button.
So now I'm looking for a program to do this for me. Any recommendations?
Zapit seems like a good program but I can't really make it work. I have the Zapit.exe file in the program folder and clicking it closes the browser, but I can't figure out how to map it to a button.
Magic Button does not have the feature to map it to a hardware button, mapping to the program only displays the active programs at the top.

VJOkButt will do this and a bit more.
Let me know if you have no luck. There are a couple of more options as well, have a read through the VJOkButt thread.

AEBPlus will do that and more.

What about our own loved SmartsKey?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
more = delete the registry entries for your comm manager button, rendering it useless.

Not to hijack the thread - but my comm manager button works just fine with AEBPlus and those times after I've had to uninstall it.

And I think there was a fix discussed for the Comm Manager issue on the board, right?

third post discusses the fix.

thanks guttrhead...
fix applied... and now works...

no problem. Anyone know of a free button mapper that doesn't crap things up?

I also had some problem with AEbutton. I first mapped "close activity" to the comm manager button which worked fine. I then added another function to the comm manager for 2 presses which also worked fine but then the one press function stopped working. I had to remove all the functions and then soft reset to get it working again.
I tried the camera button as well with the same results.
It seems there is some problem mapping several functions (one button press, two press, three press and hold) with AEButton/Wizard. As long as I only map one function to each button it works fine.
But I'm happy, I just wanted a close function mapped to a button and I got it.

I started having a bunch of problems after installing AEButton and it didn't work as it said either since I could only map one function to each button.
Uninstalled it and gave VJ Okbutt a try and so far it's the best program I've tried. Works like a charm.

I use SmartKeys, and reset the Camera hardbutton to OK/Close. And just placed a camera link on traylaunch.
When on Camera function, the hardware button reverts back to camera clicking without any further tweaking required.
Works like a charm

AE button OK remapping no work on today screen

I've finally find a software to remap the OK button, but..............
I'm wondering why AE button(2.5.2) OK remapping no work on today screen, works OK when a window is on the screen?
John

try 2.6 -

tried 2.6 and same problem on the TODAY screen button returns on default function, anyone found a solution?

So what function did you remap the ok button to? It works fine on my device.

I've set on the Trinity OK button :
one press > atlTab.exe (to switch from one application to another)
two press > rotate screen
tree press > tomtom navigator
but when I'm in the today screen (no application running) OK button return to it's original function (opens start menu).
John

how did you use the ok key in aebutton? did you add new button or use the built in button? (2.5.2 doesn't seem to have a built in ok / win key that you have room add yourself)
if you did an upgrade and preserved your old configuration, check it up for duplicated ok key may be a good idea.

You are right on 2.5, I had a custom button, but now upgrading it, I've found my configuration on the OK key.
I need to reset the 2.6 configuration, you know how?

Remap Comm Manager button

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if it is somehow possible to do the following:
I would like to assign a long press of the Comm Manager button to the Task Manager application.
So far, i have tried HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C5 and editing the info in there so that a long press activates \windows\taskmgr.exe instead of the default sound recorder. After saving the registry changes and resetting the device, the button still activates the sound recorder.
If this cant be done, cant another button be assigned to open task manager?
Is it possible to do this manually or perhaps obtain a cab file to make the changes?
Thanks

No worries, managed to do it using AE Buttons Plus

Green Phone Botton Doesn't Work

is there a Registry key(s) to view to check or make this button access the Phone or the functions of Dial? It stopped working on my last upgrade to 6.5, and I thought it was a problems with the new OS. I have now reverted back to 6.1 and it still doesn't work. I can't answer the phone with this hard button and I cannot bring up the dialer either. I have made the green phone button another button using HButton, and I made the green button access the Calculator using AEButton Plus. The calculator does not come up when the button is pushed, but I can make the phone come up, but not dial. This may be related to a problem when I do Phone Code Data ##3282#. The phone goes to EPST then quickly goes to the dialer so I can't do any troubleshooting. I posted this to ppcGeeks too. Help Please
