I'm having a problem with morphgear and the comm manager button of my prophet, it doesn´t works in morphgear.
Is there any way to disable the press and hold function from this button?
I've already tried removing the 40C5 key from the registry, this should disable it, but still with the same problem in morphgear. Any suggestions?

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.
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?

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?

HELP

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
Does anyone know where i can find a cab that allows u to remap hardware buttons? i remember stumbling on such cab a while back but cant find it anymore. i tried doing a search and had no luck finding.
Not sure about power key
http://www.orthancsoftware.com/DoubleLaunch.htm
I used this to change the functions of the CommManager hardware button (below the power button). It now can run Zapit (to close open program without touching screen), go to silence (vibrate mode) with a press using VibraSwitch and after making a copy of CommManager.lnk from the Windows root folder to Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder I am also able to use the button (with a long press) to open the CommManager as usual. Seems to be the best of all worlds.
Keep in mind that this is shareware. It works with one key without registration. Buy the program if you need more keys mapped with multiple presses and functions.
Hey guys,
is there a way to reassign the hardkeys home and back?
I also have an item "Buttons" in the settings but there is only one key defined: "Key 1 (Hold), Voicedial settings".
However, I can't find this button, where is it?
It's the first button i.e phone pickup, hold it and it will give you the voice dial
Key 1 is the dial key (far left).
You can reassign the back key with AE Button Plus. I'm not sure that you can remap home.
use AE Button Plus to reassign the keys, words great on my touch hd. I read somewhere that Home button is not supported due to different driver implemented by HTC
Thanks for your replies.
I'm aware of AE Button Plus but the interesting thing is the reassignment of the home key.
I wanna keep the back key as it is and assign an ok/close task to the home key because the end call button actually does the same thing as the home button namely go back to the today screen when you have a running application in foreground.
In AEB+ I have the following:
Button 1 (hold)
Windows Key
Enter/Action
Volume Up
Volume Down
Green Phone Button
Red Phone Button
Left Softkey
Right Softkey
Up Arrow
Down Arrow
Left Arrow
Right Arrow
I can access the volume up and down keys but which key is the back key?
I assume the green and red phone button is pickup and hangup key respectively?
Is there a way to access the power key at the top?

The back key is "Enter/Action".
It seems that the home key as well as the power key cannot be reassigned.
Back and home key can be reassigned on a window by window basis in the registry. Not particularly useful, but better than nothing.

What exactly needs to be done in the registry to reassign the home key?
Even if I have to enter a new registry key for any program window I might use it is worth the effort (at least for me).

I just want to update:
the back key is not the "Enter/Action" key. i have tried to edit this button and it didn't remap to the Back key.
If you go to File -> Add Button, and tap the Back key, it will recognize the key as button #405C. I have remapped it to "Close Active Application" and it worked.
i don't think u can reassign the Home key as AE Button Plus cannot access the Home key.
I was also unable to change the Home key in AEBplus.
Concerning the back key assignment with AEBplus, I was trying to assign something to the long press but unable to get it working. No problem for single press and double press.
Anyone has better luck?

Power Key
Here's the modified power key from Diamond but it can be used on HD.
When Power key on long-pressed, it will display the menu for choice. Tested.
Regards,
KCJ
just tested on Aeplus 2.6.6.1, the Back key = the Ok key, it can be remapped.
I have it set to:
Single press="Ok/Close"
Double press = S2U2
Long press=close active app
EDIT: Long press doesn't work... might try another method.
don't know if this works, but it is worth a try:
if you copy a shortcut to \Windows and name it "Short_Power.lnk" you can intercept the short power key press. at least that worked for me on my diamond.
you could try s.th. like "Short_Home.lnk" but that would intercept the "other home key" (which manages the cursor's position like end, up down, left, right, etc).
the magic would be to find the correct name of the key.
longpress back key (405C)
I know this is an old thread, but I haven't found yet a solution.
I'd like to be able to add longpress back key (405C) to the key menu on the windows config.
I've found the registry key that HTC uses to provide longpress send key, but I copied with no luck.
Anyone knows how to do it? vijay555 has said it's possible but never indicated how...
When i go under START - SETTINGS- BUTTONS, there is no button to assign, I want to assign MS VoICE Command ANYWHERE on a HARD Button. Tried AE Button and Hbutton, no success...please help
I use SortInchKey and it works perfect on my Volume up and down keys.
