Is any useful way to remap the Green and Red Phone button and the volume slider button? I mean for launch application or any function. Thanx.
There are some such programs for volume slider.
The most simple I prefer is attached here.
Just put it to the \Windows\Startup folder. It just "unbind" slider but not remaps it to another buttons. This will allow to use slider as F6/F7 buttons in programs able to hook them e.g. Haali Reader...
Thanx
It seems to be ok but where did you attach it? On my MDA is no offered file to download at this time. ThankU.
I've got it
Ok. Now is the sheet with uploaded file appeared. I've got it and extracted it. After i run the *.exe file it does nothing. Why?
because it should do nothing
This utility just frees slider buttons from default binding to volume control.
If you have an application that understands F6/F7 hardware key pressings (slider up/slider down) you may bind these key in the program.
As for me - I use them to scroll text up and down in Haali Reader text reader program.
But (as I said above) there are another programs to use slider up/down control. Unfortunately I don't remeber where I saw these utilities - but they really exists
And, as far as I'm back to the Andes from (Blue Angel) - I think I will write another one specially for Himalaya/Andes.
Ok, let's wait some days. If there are any results - I'll post the report here
P.S.: BlueAngel is the best HW keys equipped device i've ever saw But...
Thanx once again
Thank you 4 ur help. Now i understand that. And what about the Phone buttons? Any ideas? Ex.I want to use red button as Ok/Close simulation. Any ideas how to do that? Thanks.
Nobody unmaps phone buttons. It is possible but unresonable because of HTC is a phone device also. But I'll implement this feature too.
OK
I will wait for it.
The very first (and buggy) try of HW remapping utility is done. The application setup is available HERE
After installing .CAB file go to Start -> Settings -> Buttons and see the changes...
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLICATION ON BLUE ANGEL!!!
It will hide four lower hardware buttons until hard reset!
1. This app was tested on Andes with WM2003se, but should work on Himalaya/Magican with WM2003 and above
2. You will lose the possibility to use hardware key mapping in other applications forl remapped buttons. I need to re-grab buttons from time to time because the system tries to thieve them from me
3. Currently I don't now how to emulate green and reed buttons functionality after unbinding them from the system.
4. I can count any number of button pressings (3,4,5...), but -
5. WinCE reserve codes for only 15 hardware buttons (40C1..40CF)
There are some ideas for future improvement. But it would be nice to know your thoughts.
Just to "stimulate": I can create settings screen during setup to allow flexible configuration where you will
- choose which buttons to handle and how many key pressings to detect;
- choose option to unbind and/or re-map volume and phone buttons
- ???
And let me take a time-brake for 2 days before next programming session
The utility is ready. It allows you to:
remap each standard hardware button to 2 or 3 "virtual", simulated via double or triple clicks;
use volume slider to simulate Up/Down direction keys or create additional "virtual" hardware buttons;
remap Red and Green phone buttons to 1,2 or 3 hardware buttons each.
In a result you may create up to 15 hardware buttons (system limit)
Just install program and check Start -> Settings -> Buttons.
Here is Oficial AEBPlus home page, full desktop-based setup (~27K) and Direct link to CAB file (~30K)
Well done!
Excellent software! Thank you once again for your work. Works very very well!
man this is great really like it
works perfect :lol:
Seems to work great. Haven't had it running long enough to see if the camera button will get stolen back (big problem for me on XDA IIi), but being able to map the volume is great.
In the next version any chance of adding an <enter> option like Vito Button Mapper which I think just sends a <carriage return> to select whatever is highlighted.
Is "<Ok/Close>" option in button settings applet not the same?
NO, <OK/Close> generally tends to close the current window rather than selecting whatever is highlighted.
Also whatever application keeps on stealing back the camera button is still doing it. I don't know if it is part of the UK O2 customisations or the core PocketPC Rom, but eventually whatever function is mapped to the Camera button gets re-mapped back to the camera. This also happened to me with the standard button mapper and Vito button manager. It's a little annoying since the camera button is the most usefully positioned, and it is also easily knocked, starting the camera at awkward times.
Ok, I'll add this option for camera button (a bit later, in a case other suggestions arrives).
As for the re-hooking button by camera application: AEBPlus initializes all of the buttons from time to time. Currently this take place every 30 seconds. So if you will wait a bit - all buttons should be re-grabbed again
This does not seem to help because whatever application that is resetting the camera does it in the same place as you are storing the button mappings. When I go into the Buttons Setup it will now say that the Camera button is mapped to the Camera.
Yes,I see... It looks like Camera application is a pushy application . The solution is to remap "normal" Camera HW button to 3 press instead of one, but I don't like this.
Anyway - utility was released.
New features: added option to emulate Enter key with Camera button.
Hi AE, your utility is great. It is very useful but SIMPLE and SMALL.
I used it instead of other button mapper software.
There're some issues need tobe improved:
1) Mapping "Green" and "Red" button:
Enable mapping when they're iddle only (phone function does not work).
E.g: I'd like using Red button to close running app. But in phone function, Red button is still used to hang-up the phone as original its function. Anytime I have a phone call, I can use Red button to cancel a outgoing/incoming call.
You can refer the program of mamaich in this web site.
2) Single press is too low:
I press a key one time and wait 5 secs or more until it works. It's too slow. Can you improve? Double-press is OK.
3) Press n hold:
Can you add "single press n hold" for all hardware-keys? I think "single press n hold (after 3-3.5 secs)" is more convenient than "double press" or "tribble press". Do you think so?
Hi AE, very usefull application! Is there any way that we can have an options screen, where we can change the key options we get after installing the app? That would be easier to edit our preferences if we want to make changes to our initial choices. Furthermore I added a Mortbutton to one of your simulated hard keys. Each Mortbutton can show a list of 12 apps for a buttonpress. That means That I can now bind more than 60 apps to the buttons in total! Very good for one-handed use of my Magician, thanks!
What i'd like to do is assign more than 1 binding to the outlook button.
Exactly the same as the "voice dial" one has as standard (press for voice dial, hold for voice memo)
What i want is (on the mail/outlook/text button) press to open outlook, hold to start new text message.
Is there a reg key to change to allow this dual use?
If not (and i'd rather not add more software to map buttons) what software will allow this? Multipress isn't really an option, as pressing the button again now will cycle through the different text settings (sms, mms, e-mail etc) and put you in whatever folder you were in last (inbox, outbox etc)
EDIT:
While i would still like to be able to do this, thanx to vijay555 who's phone tools 2 lets me start a blank sms from a today screen .lnk file
The only way to do it is using Vito Button mapper.
Button mapper supports macros as well.

Have you read the thread about putting VJSMS on the softkeys, to start an sms straight from that key..
I'll have another related release that you'll hopefully like, coming soon.

I'll search some more later and keep an eye on your site!
Vito Button Mapper works here, but after a soft reset I get a popup message saying a certificate is missing.
Also, after installation my backlight was turned off. Went to settings and restored it and all works fine now (also after a reset... only problem is the popup)
Vito Button Mapper screwed up my softkeys.
Only in the 'Today Screen' however thats were a couple of my most used buttons were.
Now they don't work and sometimes change?
I would urge you NOT TO USE if you want to use soft keys in Today screen.
Robin
Soft keys can be configurated in the app, that is why you lost them for now...
Reconfig them:
Start -> Settings -> Buttons
Configuration drop down -> Today
Top 2 entries: Left softkey & Right softkey
Well yours must be different to mine.
When I open buttons the only choices I have are for the 5 hardware buttons.
No other choices are available????????
Robin
In AE Button Plus I only could assign the two phone buttons. What about the "Home Button", "Back Button", "Calendar" and "Contacts"?
The back button can be assigned. Assign things to the "OK-button" i AE Button Plus to assign it to the back button.
Great! Thank you very much.
Hi, here is a reply on AEB Plus compatibility with the HD direct from the developer:
---------------------------
Hello David,
Thanks, it is always nice to know if you find this utility interesting
As for your question: yes, BPlus is compatible with HD as well as any other PocketPC 2k3 / PocketPC 2k3SE / WM5/WM6/WM6.1 devices.
The problem I know on Touch HD:
- Home key may not be remapped due to driver implementation
- Long keypresses are not detected in BPlus for green/red keys and “back” button (button driver limitation).
- “Back” button corresponds to the “Ok” in button list so you will not need to add it via File->Add key but just re-define “Ok” button instead
- Backlight controlling will work in next BPlus release (should appear this week)
Anyway – just try and install BPlus to check if it will suit your needs before buying. It have very few “demo” mode limitations...
Regards,
Alexander
----------------------------
all keys except home key works great on mine
By "all keys" you mean:
- left phone key
- back key
- right phone key?

Don't forget the Volume Buttons (long-press DOES work for those two)
Hi guys,
I played around with AE Buttons for a couple of hous last night and here's my experience:
- Volume up/down - Work like a charm.
- Home buttom - Can't be mapped.
- Back key - Didn't realize it was mapped to the Ok button. I tried it out tonight. Works fine, but I'm not sure what action should I put in the single press configuration to preserve it's normal function. "Ok/Close" a suppose. Can someone confirm, please ?
- Green/Red phone - work fine in single, double and triple press
- Green phone long press is mapped by the driver to a virtual button called "Button 1(Hold)" (It's just at the top of the AE Buttons list) and by default launches the voice dial program (this is defined in the Settings/Personal/Buttons/Program Buttons)
- Red phone long press - This is a tough one. This button can't be captured unless you set "Lock device" in Settings/Personal/Buttons/End key. In this case it generates a key code and you can record it as a new key in AE Buttons. There's a catch though. When you map an action to single press, Lock program is no longer executed. Your selected action is executed, but immediately after that the device goes to the today screen as if you have pressed the Home button.
- Power button - Can't be mapped at all. I wish this was possible. I wanted to make long pressing the power button to soft reset the device directly.
Hope this info is useful. It took me a couple of hours and A LOT of soft resets to try all the possible combinations

I encountered the below problem.
After receiving or making a phone call, the button did not work for around 5 minutes. Instead of move the arrow up or down, it turn the volume up/down. After that the button work again as what I had configured.
Anyone having the same problem?
Regarding the back key. I have this not mapped for one touch, i.e., normal OK operation, and for double press I have it rotate the screen.
I don't like gsen and the gyrator - great apps but I just don't need them always there.

I have this problem too! Any solution to share?
That's weird - I have just tested and all the AEB Plus assignments worked before a call.
After a call the volume assignments I have (1 press = arrow up/down, 2 press = volume up/down, long press up = flash lamp, long press down = resco audio) don't work. All the volume presses just revert to the volume operation.
I also have the back/OK key assigned to screen rotate for double press. This works fine after the call.
So, status now is not working right - I'll wait and see if it fixes itself (!!) with a few minutes.

I found the fix. In AEB + there is a set of options. One of these is the "restore volume slider" - by default this restores volume control to the phone app. It appears not to reset it back after.
I have just turned all these "restore volume slider" options off and now AEB Plus works as it should (or as I expect).
Thanks for the fix!
I shall try it tonite!

I just tried it and it doesn't work. I guess it's a bug and need to be fixed by the developer. Hmmmm, just suprised that no one really notice this bug.
Same bug on volume up. I assigned 1P for standard function and 2P for WiFi toggle. Well after the first or second use, it looses mapping. To have it to work again a soft reset is needed...

I'm glad this is working for some.
But, I got an email from the developer (who is very quick to respond to emails) that said he is aware of a fault with the phone interaction and has not been able to replicate it.
Removing the volume slider option for the phone might work (as it did for me) but it seems that the intermittent fault probably will remain.

Wondering why some HTC HD working (removing the volume slider option) and some not (like my case )
any ideas for configuring home key and backspace key ?
i've tried with AE Button, but it doesn't work claerly.
or maybe there are somewhere regkeys ?
i don't think, that this is hardcoded somewhere .... or ?
some ideas ?

As I know, the 'Home' key is not configurable in HD, not sure about the 'Back' key.

The "back" key is mapped as "OK button" in AEButtons, and can be configured. The home one seems to be almost impossible to do as said by AEB devver

the back key is not fully able to configure.
if you try to set : "left button" and then try the button always go to home screen and then "left button".
if you try it ex: under "programms" go to lnext left icon -> then it jumps back to "home" screen + left

well - i'm trying to find out how to map the keys on HTC Blackstone....
here is also a interesting link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3144390#post3144390
for now i know:
TOP:
Power Button can fully handled (short click + long click) via lnk file.
LEFT: (there are 2 buttons)
Can fully remapped via AEB Plus (1-,2-,3-short click, + long click).
BOTTON:
there are 4 buttons:
"Green Key",
-> mapping possible via AEB Plus,
but for long key you have to use: AEBPlus + Button: "Button1(Hold)" - don't ask me why, bnut it works on this way..)
"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 ?

Hello everyone, I'm sure many people will be interested to know that AE Button Plus is working perfectly with LEO and support english, french (which I use), spanish, deutsch and ten other languages. BTW, this is my first post, so every comments are welcome
The HD2 may be a touch device, it still has 7 buttons and I use them for variaty of functions, including switching on/off BLUETOOTH, WIFI or TORCH. You can even assign any button to run an application. The program is VERY stable and VERY convenient.
This exceptional app has the ability to reassign function to (almost) every physical button of your device, including the volume button. Moreover, it has the ability to assign different functions whether you press the button ONCE, TWICE or LONG PRESS. It very simple to use and work wonderfully with my HTC HD2 (as wall as many other Windows Mobile Device). I've used it for more than a week and I can't report any bug, even though I installed many other apps, tweak and so on.
I'm using the evaluation version (you have pay 7.99$) by the fact that it shows a splash screen when device starts up. But you can believe I will pay the damn Russian guy who created the app, many even donate more!!!
I wanted to share my experience with using this app, since it's not very known in this (great) HD2 forum. Also, I want to show you the way I've been remapping the buttons, to show how useful it can get. Feel free to comment!!! Once you install the program, softreset and assign the AEBPlus to a shortcut and you're ready to rock! By the way, the icon is quite ugly, but that's just a minor issue .
THIS IS THE WAY I REMAPPED HD2 BUTTONS (in brackets, the way AEPlus "calls" the button)
Volume up.
Single press: volume up
Long press Backlight up
Volume down.
Single press: volume down
Long press Backlight down
Hang up (green phone button)
Single press: switch vibration mode on/off (and shut down the volume)
Double press: switch torch on/off (run application "TorchButton v2.3")
Home button (button #00ED), added manually
Single press: unchanged, impossible to remap ??
Double press: switch bluetooth on/off (impossible to make it different than the "Home button"...)
Long press: impossible to remap ??
Windows button (windows key)
Single press: ok/close (close the window, but not the program still runs)
Double press: windows file explorer (you can choose to run another explorer, for example Total Commander)
Long press: close active application ("really" close the application)
Return button (also button #00ED, added manually, see ISSUE below)
Single press: unchanged (actually I chose no action, but the original function remains)
Double press: switch bluetooth on/off
Long press: switch wifi on/off
Power button (red phone button)
Single press: unchanged (shuts down backlight)
Double press: unchanged
Long press: unchanged (actually, I use it with "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen v1.1")
KNOWN ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
- Absolutely no bug !
- Bluetooth. The function included with this program doesn't work (apparently because HD2 uses Widcomm bluetooth, unlike its predecessors). To solve this, I simply assign the desired button with the application "ToggleBTh.exe" (credit to Dextrosan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587493). I copied the file to the folder "Program Files" and created a shortcut in the "windows/start menu/programs" to be able to make it appear in the program list.
- Backlight level. To adjust the backlight, you have to access the settings of the program. Click options -> backlight settings (scroll down !). There you can adjust the darkest level you wish (0 = minimum backlight) and the brightest level (10 = 100% = maximum backlight , less if you want to save battery life) and backlight step (2 = 20% is fine with me). Beware, when you assign a button with function backlight level, you have to choose in the subsequent menu if you want "backlight down", "backlight up" or even "backlight level" 0, 2 (= 20%), 4 (= 40%) and so on.
- Manually add Home button. Home button is not listed in the program, so you have to add it manually. Choose "File -> Add button" and follow instructions. Actually, there's a trick... If you press the Home button, it will close the window and go back to your home page. You'll have to go back in the program using the task manager.
- Home and Return button cannot be remapped individual. For some reason, when you manually add Home button, it's called #00ED and when you assign actions, these actions also work with the Return button... Actually, these actions even work BETTER on Return button than Home button. Single press and Long press actions will not work with Home button, but they work with Return button. Weird, huh? Even if you manually add Home button (then called #405C) and assign actions for the button, it won't work at all, and the Return will still execute actions listed with the button #00ED. All in all, it's a minor issue. Just remember that I can't remap single or long press for teh Home Button.
EDIT: Dec, 20 I also use the function "control volume directly" so that the volume buttons control SYSTEM volume directly and not the ring volume. Also, this nice function disable the ugly pop-up volume window that appears and have the annoying tendency to change ring volume first !!! This function is located in the menu "Options -> Other options -> Control volume directly". You can check or uncheck it.
That all folks, hope this little work will be useful for many.
Much help is appreciated to try to solve the Home/Return button issue.

Of course, as long as you find an exe which does that automatically whenever invoked. You can do pretty much anything as long as you can associate it with a specific utility. I use the program with my ipaq 210 and am very pleased with it, with a resistive screen it's even more useful.
Now, if only I wasn't dead-dumb enough to let slip from my hands this leo for 430EU on ebay... who knows how long will I have to wait to find another one at that price.

ok ive can boot the camera app but cant take picture, any ideas
I'm using this program also for a while.
I'm used to use the power/hangup red button to go back to the today screen but can't find a way to get that working.
It takes me a while to figure out the working posibilities but it's useful anyway.
Great post! Thanks for sharing with us.
Disable the volume window !
I also use the function "control volume directly" so that the volume buttons control SYSTEM volume directly and not the ring volume. Also, this nice function disable the ugly pop-up volume window that appears and have the annoying tendency to change ring volume first !!! This function is located in the menu "Options -> Other options -> Control volume directly". You can check or uncheck it.
Thx for all.
It works very well

if you already have Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen then no need for you to use togglebth. touch x leo power 12 icons have wifi and bluetooth toggles working well on leo.

- Home and Return button cannot be remapped individual. For some reason, when you manually add Home button, it's called #00ED and when you assign actions, these actions also work with the Return button... Actually, these actions even work BETTER on Return button than Home button. Single press and Long press actions will not work with Home button, but they work with Return button. Weird, huh? Even if you manually add Home button (then called #405C) and assign actions for the button, it won't work at all, and the Return will still execute actions listed with the button #00ED. All in all, it's a minor issue. Just remember that I can't remap single or long press for teh Home Button.

Much help is appreciated to try to solve the Home/Return button issue.[/B]

ok. so we have something special on our leos.
- htc sense.
- green button - send key.
- red button - end key.
- home button. this key is stucked with htc sense.
- back button.
1. green button.
i can do any thing with this key. but i leave long press unchanged beacause my vangrieg_incall_lock_ita had added long_send.lnk that link to phone on my \windows and i don't want to interfere into it. now long press on send key = phone. this is a vital function, right? so let it be.
2. red button.
i can't do any thing, but "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen" can.
so for me end key has single press as normal and long press by "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen". that is more than enough. power off is a vital function also.
3. home button.
as said, this key is stucked with htc sense. so you can not change single press anyway. you can do somethings with double, triple and even long press but firstly it takes you to home screen then do your commands. for long press see next item.
4. back button.
this is exactly "ok key" on aebutton. you even don't need to add it manually. you can do everything with this key except long press. long press works only when you are on a certain program interface. this does not work when you are on htc sence interface. to get this long press work on anything, anywhere and anytime you have to assign the same action you want to do to HOME KEY LONG PRESS. and voilà !!! this works 4u.
Thanks for your appreciation of my thread.
Still, If you are really "hardcore hardware fan" you can use AEBPlus to assign even the double tap and triple tap of the keys
To oainot. About the bluetooth toggle, If find it quicker and simpler, to double tap on one button, turn on my headphones and get going out in the snow. I use it literally everytime If get out of my apartment. Just think: would you prefer to switch the light off your apartment with a long-click (+ click in a menu) or with a simple double-click? Just a matter of taste I guess. The best is to have to choice!
To satoo. Here's my configuration file. I should tell you that my system is in french. I managed to put "english" as language in the program, but you can still get some french word (calculatrice = calculator i think; Explorateur de fichiers = file explorer; ). See attached file.
Merry Christmas!

I am in entire agreement with you.
one key like hold red key ,we can switcher wifi on/off, bt on/off.
So，in an identical manner，
I set one key (ex:hold vol up) to active phoneweaver ,with which i set some usefull profiles :
mute mode: switch vibration mode
day mode: loudly volume
night mode: max or min backlight level as you like
.......
each mode we can define (backlight level,vol lvl,differents rings,wifi on/off,bt on off)
here is phoneweaver 2.0 with XXXX，sorry for my english

i would like to switch the action of the red button the other way round.
i would like long press red button to lock the phone and turn off backlight and single press red button to launch the Touch X Power 12 icons actionscreen. I cant seem to achieve this does anyone have any ideas?

i'm afraid it is not possible.
single press of red key may controled by basic input output system, not the operating system (windows mobile), not the htc sense or not any other resident program.
may be this should be that for power on the phone by single press while operating system is still not running.
may be someone could hack the key someway. i dunno. if aebutton had a button assume called "power key", it could be possible to try.
Assign Softkeys Functions
I changed the setting to reassign functions of softkeys. AE Button shows the setting properly, but it does not work.
any suggestion?
thanks

Yes, I noticed that the left softkey cannot be remapped by AEB. You'll have to use the newer BsBTweak which works just fine with the left softkey. Find it here

this feature is for devices with physical soft keys. Leo doesn't have them. search the forums for softkey remapper (Today and/or Manila).
