Is it possible to remap the volume buttons so they can be used for 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' when viewing emails etc...?

hi!
Is it possible to assign the buttin in the middle of the rocker switch to anything other than standard?
I would like to assign it to short press switch to one app, press again switch to the other. Cycle between them.
Can it be done?

I don't think the Universal has a rocker button. Do you mean the volume slider?

Naw, I think we're talking 'bout small button in the middle of the 4-way controller.
Yeah, that's the one.
Can it be programmed?
I have an app that runs in full screen, and I want to be able to change between that and another app without useing the stylus, browsing menus etc.

see title- is there a third party application that can do this? Also, the buttons settings shows button 2 and 3- where on earth are they?

You most certainly can!
I use AE Button Plus. It is an amazing little app that lets you do just about anything with all the hardware buttons on the phone. It also lets you assign more than one behaviour to the same button- one for press, one for double press and so on... Check it out here http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Hope this helps!
Nice one- thanks for that
Yes, excellent app !
I've been able to link to npop by adding the "mail" button but it still launched the built-in mail program, anyone figure out if it can be "inhibited" from AE ?

can you also make the wheel scroll? or it that not possible with this app?

Wheel? What wheel? I only wish the Touch Dual had a wheel
Very impressed with Touch Dual so far. I agree - the wheel would have made it an amazing device...
Maybe for the Touch Dual II?
I can't get it to scroll when you keep the button pressed (volume up button for scroll up volume down button for scroll down)
I've tried loads of different combinations to get it to scroll like the dpad.
If anyones got it working can you post how please?

the missing buttons refer to the volume buttons. just press and hold to activate them.
I've mapped button 2 and 3 and button 2 hold and button 3 hold to scroll up and scroll down.
The hold buttons work OK but they aren't usable as a scroller as it takes too long to activate but If I map the normal buttons to scroll up and down they still only change volume. If I map them to launch contacts they launch this fine some of the time but not always and other times they just change the volume. So no can do. This by the way is using pocket plus' built in button mapping program.

Okay, I can see that I can assign long-press Send and End keys, but I want to assign a function to the Back key (short press) - can it be done?
since i come from trinity - which had the scrolling wheel - I'd like to replace the volume buttons with "almost equivalent" functionality....possible at all? don't know...
I'm not sure that Volume slider has been mappable on any of these devices. Previously I used SPB PocketPlus to map buttons, but on the HD the poplists in the setup don't work so I can't try it...
I am currently using AEBPlus to assign the buttons.I was able to map volume up, volume down and ok buttons to various functions.But unfortunately I am unable to map the HOme button.Can anyone let me know how to assign some functions for HOme button using AEBPlus please?
regards

Brilliant! AE Button Plus works perfectly, OK=Back. I love this site...

You don't need to ask the same question wherever you go and also create a thread for that!
ok
i see what you mean. I just figured it might not get read if here at the end of an older thread... hehe you mods notice everything ;-)
Can someone tell me if AEBPlus could reassign the phone on and off buttons too? I would like to use these buttons for other purposes and just use the screen to operate the phone, if possible.

Could you explain how to configure to apply to on off button.
Aside from that, does someone know how to get "long" working?
It tried to give the "Back arrow" additional functions.
1,2,3 times work fine, but long does not.
Also what is the default action of "Back arrow"
I do not find it on the list? Which number
So I could configure 1 times with default action
and 2 and 3 with something else.
Home button on AE plus
Has anyone found the home button "name" in AU Button plus yet?
This thread mentioned the name for the "back"-button is "OK" in AE button plus and that does work. (except foor the long press option, that I could not get to work, but double tap works fine)

pzucchel, I'm with you! I've realised that I actually used the scroll wheel on the Trinity much more than the D-pad, so AE buttons is a godsend!
I've got volume up/down to become arrow up/down, but how about the Trinity press-to-select on the scroll wheel? I can't get the long press on the vol buttons to work otherwise it'd be perfect...
What version of AEBPlus are you using?
I installed AEBPlus 2.6.3 to enable turning the screen while pressing the volume up button.
This version is a 14 day trail version, there is however a freeware 1.0.1 version but that one is not officialy supporting the Blackstone.
Which version are you using? I find $14 a lot for changing the behaviour of one key...
AEButton will NOT stop working after 14 days, and all the functions you really want will still be there
What is the difference between trial and registered version?
Two things only:
1. Splash screen appears during device starting up.
2. "Action list" is blocked in trial mode

Good to know! Didn't see that when reading the website...
Anyway - is there an easy trick to assign the "volume up" pressed for >1 sec to rotating the screen to landscape (270 deg) and portrait?
/me is thinking of a registry tweak...
I just got a Touch HD and installed AE Button Plus and it works great for assigning different tasks for the button below the screen.
However I have not been able to find a which button in AE Button (if any) that corresponds to the Home button. Has anyone else here been able to assign any tasks to double-clicking the Home button?

OK, I can see that you want to push your own solution but as far as I can see it does not support the Home button either. Also it supports a lot fewer actions than AE Button Plus does.
Hiya ppl
I was wondering if anybody has made a program that makes it possible to disable the volume buttons as i often mis-touch em (And it feels like even a very slightly touch makes em react)...

Try AE Buttons Plus. You can unbind the volume buttons, and it's free.

It doesn't work for me. I have version 2.6.6 and i set the volume buttons to "Unbind only" but nothing happens, buttons still work. What am i missing?
copy the attached dll to your HD's windows directory, overwriting the original one - you have to use resco explorer or total commander to accomplish that. Then map a key in AE buttons for locking the device - voila, your done.
S2U2 will disable the vol rocker while the phone is on standby/locked, so they will only work when you're using the phone.....which would make it unlikely that you'd hit them accidentally
hope it helps
I looked for similar topic but didn't find it,I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off that iritating sound when pressing volume buttons ?
I installed volume keys and the sound wasn't there anymore but after that I couldn't use scilorsleo camera anykey which makes it possible to take a photo with volume buttons
anyone has a solution?
I use AE Button to disable the volume buttons for a single press. But then also set AE button to alter the volume up/down when held for a long press. So if I do want to change volume I just do a long press on either button

Excuse me I am relatively new here. What do you refer to as the "AE" button? I keep my Touch in a holster and when I attempt to draw it out to answer I keep hitting the Vol rocker changing the volume settings - very annoying. From what you say this may help as it would be a single press, although probably a long press. I wouldn't mind disabling the vol rocker buttons as I just as easily use the volume settings to change vol anyway - but I hate altering (hacking) the normal operating system to do it.
i have similar things i have disable volume buttons.
how to fix it?
I've tried both aebuttons and voldpad.....configured the volume up and down to be dpad up and down....pretty basic test...install...soft reset....app loads on bootup....hit the vol up and down and it calls the volume app just like normal......anyone had any luck in remapping it?
