BUTTONS app- Where are the other two?

When you run buttons application it tells you that you can customize button 1,2 and 3.
Button 1 is the Camera- which can easily be found.
Button 2 is set to voice commander which I would like to use but cant find
Button 3 is set to record which I also cannot find.

Sorry guys, I found them, Long press volum up and down gives you 1 & 2, somehow they forgot to mention this on the manual.
I am desperate for an ultimate keymapper for the touchdual though allowing you even to assign aps to the D-PAD would be awesome. Of course I would have them on long press only as to maintain its initial directional functions.

Thanks man, I thought that was it but I didn`t press long enough.

Hi
I have wondered about this buttons menu aswell
I would like to know what the other 3 buttons are which dont seem to have numbers
currently on my device they say :
Button <Ok/Close>
Button <Input Panel>
Button <Context Menu>
What are these ??

Hey,
I have a dutch dual, but i only have 1 button (camera).
is there a way to get the other two working since holding the volume up/down does nothing (not even repeating volume change)

I had no idea you could hold down the volume buttons. Thanks for the info

Button Options?

I set my Buttons a while back and I saw selections that included:
(New Appointment), (New Note), etc., with an option for Button 1 - 5 (Hold.)
Today, I cannot see those options such as New Appointment, New Note and the Hold with Button 1-5.
I only see Button 1 -5 and Hold only for Button 4.
How do I re-establish these options?
Apparently I did remove/delete something that caused this. Thank you!
You all have been very helpful in the past.

Button 1 on HTC HD?

Quick and silly one, just not in the mood for reading the manual.
Which is the button 1 that can be modified in the start/settings/buttons screen?
It should only be editable the press and hold of this button, but not sure which one it is. tried them all, none seems to work.
LATER EDIT: it seems it is the button you may press on the stereo handsfree in the package. But even in this case, even if i changed default behaviour from voice dial to, lets say, comm manager, it i press it and keep it pressed, it still starts the voice dial. any clue?
EDIT2: Found it, its the Green Call button, the one used to answer calls. If you keep it pressed it can call any application you define in start/settings/buttons screen.
thx

volume down button

I tried it but it does not work
I tried it but it does not work ... I held the volume down button, nothing happend

you can also set it to perform a manual rotate too.
it does require a reghack along the lines of hklm\system\gdi\rotation iirc to enable that option in the 'button1' assignment menu.
also, if you change the 'landscape' dword from 4 to a 2, then it'll rotate 90deg rather than 270deg.
disclaimer: registry references are done off the top of my head; if the reg key isnt present then your in the wrong area i recall the definate answer is somewhere in these forums if you want definate info!

Change the time for Long Key Press (Power)

Hi!
I am wondering if there's a way to change the time until the poweroff.exe is run when pressing and holding the power-button. Haven't been able to find anything about this on google, only how to re-assign the utility that is executed in the end.
Anyone have any ideas? Hardcoded?

Good question. I asked 1 1/2 years ago if anyone knew how to disable that yes/no popup when you press the power button. I don't want it, I've never accidentally hit the power button for several seconds yet.
Interesting that you can change the entire shutdown program that is executed - that would solve my problem if I could find a good replacement. Do you have any good links on that?

Hi!
After reading a bit more on the subject I dont think that reassigning the exec'd app applies to Athenas... You can switch the file into some other "shutdown-app" though by switching \windows\poweroffwarning.exe.
Thats what I know so far. Google XDA for "long press change power" (without quotes) and you'll find a few posts on the matter.
Still no clue if its even possible to lower the time for the long keypress... :-(

yes i've just read your post and while i'm searching for the answer at moment i can tell you this much button assignments and time out periods are usually a function of the registry. so what you both were looking for is going to be a registry key. now whether it's a modify an existing key or create a key that it recognises is yet to be seen so either start researching the registry or keep eye's open as i'm still searching...
New: found this thread which i think is a better option then trying to modify the power buttons defualt timeout's and suggests that really if you have a diffrent power manager for shutting down etc.etc. that's better then use their binary

Hmm... Not really what I was looking for. I dont want to replace the PowerOffWarning.exe, I just want to shorten the time for it to start. I just mailed a friend of mine, works at MS. Will get back with the answer.

You might want to have a look at PowBut.
For instance here.
Haven't tried it myself though.

Thanks, will test it!

[Q] AHHHHH I want my old galaxy button layout!!

Hi All
I've just got a S5 today. Overall I like it a lot however the bloody button res-assignments is soooooooo annoying!
Is there any to re-map the button layout back to the older galaxy versions? I.E.
Press the left button and the menu will activate (I know if I hold it down it will work but I keep forgetting and it brings up the tasker)
Hold the home button to bring up the tasker.
Frustrating yours
Paul

Root it -> Install Xposed -> Install GravityBox

Thanks, I had thought about it but its a new fone and you know what Samsung are like... I'm leaving towards re-mapping the key.
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Anyone know the key number for the left button (Is it 138), what would I need to change to make the default option a menu. I suppose thinking out loud I want to swap the commands over. I.e. I press the key once I get the menu, press and hold I get the tasker.
Thanks
P.

Just long press the left button and the options come up

Your best bet is to use gravity box, as suggested above. You can only change the recents function to menu via the file you mentioned. I believe the rest of the options you want are smali edits.
