hey!
1st: thanks a lot for working on this device so hard...
2nd; thanks for sharing ALL the information it helped a lot!
here is the question:
is there a registry-tweak or something like a program to change the behavior of the "up-down-button" which controls the volume?!
because its rediculous that these important buttons look like not remapable...
thanks for reading and thinking about it!

Smartskey
Try this. It's an old application called Smartskey that no one seems to mention anymore. But it allows you to map the volume slider to be a page up/page down scroller. When on the home screen and on a call, it'll still adjust the volume, but on other screens (Internet Explorer, File Explorer, Program list, etc), it will scroll the screen one page at a time.
You can map other things too, but I only use it for the volume slider. The ini file attached is set up to this. If you want to play with the settings, the instructions are included also. Just extract the files and copy to a folder in your program files directory and run the exe file to load it. Once loaded, it will stay running even after a reset. To unload the program, run the file again.
GREAT!
lovin it!
you were a BIG help!

There have been a number of posts indicating an interest in using the hardare WLan switch as a Ring Vibrate toggle. Due to some hardware issues that may not ever become possible. An alternative is to download the Ring Vibrate toggle Cab file from the forum link below and assign it to an underused button. I selected the Comm Manager button on the right below the power switch (after adding the Comm Manager to the HTC Touch plugin on the Today screen.... that needed a little work, as the file is hidden in the Windows directory... I used Resco Explorer with settings to see all files and copied a shortcut to the windows/Start Menu/Programs folder, allowing HTC Touch plugin to see the shortcut).
The Cab works like a charm. I attached the file for anyone interested in a quick fix for the lack of a hardware vibrate switch as on the Treo handhelds.

very cool can't wait to test it out!
Nice, Thanks!!
Full credit goes to vmirage
Forgot to thank vmirage for providing the cab file that I used in this thread. Keep up the good work and thanks for providing such excellent support.
I have a Orange SPV M3100 (tytn)
just got it 2nd hand. it works nicely, but everytime after a few hours of not using it. when i try to use it again, the 2 buttons that's suppose to press the softbuttons don't work.
To get them working again, i have to reset my thing.
The softbuttons themselves still work. I can click on the 2 things and my file explorer / contacts show up. But the physical buttons that's suppose to press those 2 things don't for some reason.
Any ideas?
Softkeys not working
I've had similar issues. It has happened a few times actually. Now when I install a new rom I place short cuts in my window\startmenu\ accessories or system files folder depending on the application i try to shortcut. Just locate the actual exe file for the program copy it and go to the windows folder you want it in and hold stylus and hold and paste short cut then rename as you wish. it wll now show up in your programs folders on you menus. or use advance configurations 1.0 from Shaps it works very well. There is also a softkey app in the forum that works well also.
I find the ''internet explorer key' quite useless for me. On the other hand I need to be able to send 'ok' command to my touch dual through the sliding keyboard so what about remapping the 'internet explorer key'? Does anyone know how to do that?
coool idea. very convenient and practical. comparing a samsung sgh-i780 to the touch dual, the fact that the i780 had an OK button was one of the very few advantages that the samsung had over my htc. hope someone can reply to this with a solution......
I would like to make the internet button a return key which enters moves the cursor to a new line when typing messages etc, I can't find an easy way of entering a line return when writing using the 16 key keypad.
have you tried AE-Buttons?
AE Button Plus works not as good as I hoped: it's starting another application when I remap it but the Internet Explorer is still started afterwards!
I think the solution could be found in the keyboard driver itself ...!
yap i hope someone could make this, i don't use the internet explorer button changing/remapping it to ok/close button is a very good idea. as for now i change the camera button to ok/close but quite hard to push because in the side corner.
Is there still no solution for this?
i never use the "internet" and "messaging" keys from my keyboard and it would be nice to change them to "OK" and an other program..
bump! i hope someone finds a solution for this..
I found following Registry:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/internet explorer/KeyMaps
Does anybody know if this has anything to do with what we're looking for???
I think I was able to find a workaround for this:
1) make a copy of iexplore.exe in the windows folder to iexplore2.exe (can anyone upload a copy of original iexplore.exe, i can't seem to make a copy of it)
2) Download http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJOkButt
3) from program files of vjokbutt, find the exe and rename it to iexplore.exe
4) copy the vjokbutt that was renamed to iexplore.exe to \windows and overwrite the original iexplore
optional: open a registry editor and replace all iexplore.exe to iexplore2.exe, otherwise, internet explorer might not work..
It would be better if anyone can transform the Messaging and Internet Explorer key into Hardware Softkeys ...! It would be much better because of increasing usability in some fullscreen programs!
I really miss these Hardware Softkeys in Esmertec Jbed!
Is there any torch / flashlight app where it turns the screen completely white with max backlight settings? Something like NiceLight for S60.
I've found one but it doesn't alter the screen brightness.
Many thanks
This works on the HD (but I don't use the torch much): pda.jasnapaka.com/plamp/
tried this one, and i like it, but it seems not to install. i can run it from the file, but i cant make a shortcut bescause it doesnt come up in the programs list. Anyone experience the same?
I have tried this too but the brightness intensity doesn't seem to work with the HD.

You can create a shortcut by using file explorer. Copy and then Paste shortcut into windows/start menu/programs
(please note when pasting it's easier to use "menu>edit>paste shortcut" located bottom-right)
Now you have the app in your program list to do whatever you want with it.
wired, there are to programs witch I cannot add, and both are in the filder you tell me to add to. if i put them in the programs folder-my unit programs-were other programs are, they still wont show on the list so i have to run them from file xplorer. beats me
I'm trying to understand what you're saying...
Make sure you've actually created a shortcut and not the program itself e.g. "shortcut to pLamp" and not pLamp.
Soft reset may help.
understanding now, i moved the programe. But i can only cut it and copy in that menu, it doesnt say copy shortcut, so den i cant paste the shortcut?
Probably me beeing noob so thanks for trying to help
Got it, found another folder called programs, then it worked
thank you very mutch
Hi.
I was curious if anyone knows a way to re-map the internet browser shortcut key that is on the bottom right of the Sprint HTC Snap. I would like to have it open Skyfire instead of IE. Skyfire is set as my default browser but the button still opens IE. Also, do the same thing with the Mycircle key but change it to open Task Manager.
Thanks.
The file is in \Windows and it's called short_circle.lnk. Just make a new .lnk and call it short_circle.lnk and copy it to \Windows overwriting the old one.
Hi I got the Inner Circle key remapped using both short_circle.lnk and long_circle.lnk.
I am still having trouble getting the internet key to remap to Skyfire. I have tried making PIE.lnk, short_IE.lnk, long_IE.lnk, short_PIE.lnk, long_PIE.lnk. None of these seems to do the trick. Any ideas?

That key may be hardware coded into the keyboard driver. Not sure.
Hello,
i have an German Model of the Snap.
And i don´t Use Inner Circle. So the TaskManager will be the best Applikation on this Button.
But it don´t work.
I Edit the Files
- InnerCircle.lnk
- Short_Circle.lnk
and Change ist to the TaskMgr.exe.
I Restart my Phone, but the Button always Call the InnerCircle Funktion.
What is my mistake?

Christian, instead of editing the Short_circle.lnk file directly, try as follows:
1. Copy the TaskManager.lnk file from your Windows/Start Menu to another folder (i.e /Storage Card)
2. go in /Storage Card and rename TaskManager.lnk as Short_Circle.lnk
3. Copy this file into /Windows
This should work..at least it did for myself.

Hello,
thanks for your reply, but it doesn´t works.
The InnerCircle Key always start the Inner Circle Applikation.
Greetings
Christian
1) use total commander or the likes,
2) change the read-only attribute on the short_circle.lnk.
3) then replace the shortcut with whatever application you'd like to run and save it as short_circle.lnk.
Thanks! This worked for me.

Hi there,
Do you have more info on that ? I have a S521 (Frenchy ass, fruity ass), and the so-called internet key is for Live Mess-enger. I would be really interested in mapping a different function to that key.
Hi,
is it possible to re-mapping also key dedicated for Live Messenger? I try it in the same way, like for Inner Circle (which work correctly), but without effect.
I know this reply is late, but for anyone still playing around with HTC SNAPs:

Yep I managed this one:
do the same for \Windows\Start Menu\Messaging.lnk
I Used Total Commander, edited Short_Circle.lnk to be non read only
Found the shortcut i wanted to use, edited the file and copied the shortcut link (do a select all), then edit Short_Circle.lnk, remove the old shortcut path and select all and then paste. Enjoy your Custom single Button shortcut key
I have Telstra Branded Snaps, and i had to remove the security off the phones before i could untick the read only attribute on the Short_Circle.lnk shortcut.
To remove the security:
Install "Clear Security.cab"
Install and Launch Microsoft’s Security Configuration Manager on your PC
Select Security Off from the drop down menu and click the Provision button, the program will install a file called Tool.cab on the mobile device.
MS Security Configuration Manager available here:
