end button - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

does anyone know the reg edit for the delay on the stock dial pad End button ? I am constantly hitting it accidentally and want to increase the delay
thanks

try to remap it using KEYSWOPT and assign it a different function....

I have searched but cannot find KEYSWOPT :[

I think he's referring at KEYSWOP, but it doesn't remap the end button, it only remaps the right and left softkeys.

Reassign (Hard)keys Home and Back

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...

Assign shortcuts to other physical buttons?

i notice X1 can only assign shortcuts to the 2 button right below the lcd. Is there a way to assign to other physical buttons like the up, down, left, and right arrow key?
Search for GreenButton here on xda forums. It should make it possible to remap function of the green call send button. However, I could not get it to work myself on the X1. So if you test it, I would appreciate if you post your findings here in the forum.

Assigning Back button as OK

hi i want to assing the back button "<--" on the bottom with the OK button. i dont need the back functionality, what i want is to avoid trouble hitting OK on the top every time. someone suggested me AEbutton, that solved my problem assigning the volume button for up down navigation, but i want to assing back button to act as OK.
pl. help
Well, I've got good news. The Back button IS OK. Try it in a Settings dialog, pressing Back *will* save your changes.
You can assign actions to OK with AEBPlus.
This surprised the hell out of me - I only realized this after owning my HD for a month.
It also means that there is no PPC/HD equivalent to the Back button on smartphone devices. I had a Vox before, and was used to the Back button meaning "cancel".
JUst to add a little to that.
Is it possible in any way to disable the volume keys?
I cant stop pressing them by mistake

AE Button plus
then just remap them so they dont work as volume keys on a single press ( i use the long press to make them go up and down, but in rreality i use the slider to actually move change volume so i dont need to even map them to the volume at all)
Ehm.... what is the slider? I read about that also in TouchLockPro and I couldn't realize what it was.

Button re-mapping..?

I have AE Button Plus.
I was just wondering if the buttons on the HD 2 are all re-mappable - that is to say I can re-map the the outer left (green key) and the outer right (red key) and also the middle button with the Windows Logo but the HOME key and the the LEFT ARROW key don't seem possible.
Have I got this right or is there a way to re-map them within the above program.. I have tried the add buttons but this does not seem to work so I have probably missed the obvious but if anyone could point it out to me it would be appreciated.. cheers..
Firstly, i havent tried using AEB on my Leo, so sorry if this is wrong, but..
On the Raphael keyboard, you could remap every key, but you couldnt always unmap the default operation. From seeing a post last week sometime about AEB on the Leo, they said they couldnt unmap some default actions (exactly like you), so i assume its going to be the same as the Raph.
There is a thread that tells you how to do all this, cant remember the title exactly but its got ae button plus in it...

Remap long press menu?

anyone know of a way to remap the long press menu? It would be nice to have it mappable to offset the missing search button . i find the long press menu quite useless
You could try button remapper, It's on xda somewhere although i personally switched the call key to search.
