How to change the right soft key to power off

by default, i dont think you can do it. but try search the forum for Mobile Magic, or try AEBPlus... these 2 apps maybe able to do that (im not 100% sure).
btw, i don't understand why you need to do that? let me introduce you to the long press power button if you don't know it yet?

[APP]psShutXP Diamond - Replaces Long-Press Power Key

First I would like to state that none of the graphics in this cab file are my work. I don't know who made them but it wasn't me. Also, I am not the developer of psShutXP.
What I did was fix psShutXP so that it replaces the Long-Press Power Key. Instead of having a lame, white "Do you want to shut down" window that pops up when you hold the power button, you will have a nicely skinned psShutXP window that gives you the options to turn off the display, power off the device, reboot the device, hard reset the device, and even gives you the options to set reboot schedules.
Note that ALL functions are working in this cab that I put together including Shut Down.
Screenshot:
is the application running in the background or is it triggered upon long press of the end key?

It's triggered when you hold the power key for about 3 seconds. It does not run in the background and is not set to the end key.
i meant the power button my bad

If you guys overwrite PowerOffWarning.exe, you'll no longer can turn your phone off completely (Exp when you wanna turn device off at night )
dharvey4651 works nice.
Thanx
Nice app. man , thanks!
I want to know, I always see apps that schedule reboots for the diamond, why is it so hard to schedule a simple shutdown? Or isn't it so simple? I mean, ok with the reboot but who needs it anyway? I don't....but I realy need the power off, isn't there something that can be done?
i tried uninstalling the application but it doesnt revert to the original..how can this be solved?

Adv Config
Adv config allows you to map the long press power button to whatever you want. I just used that to do exactly this and a few other indispensable tweaks.

Can u please share where one would do this tweak in Advan. Config. 3.3? I will continue looking.
Harvey, you're quite the h4x0r!
I've been following your work in the XBmod Manila HD thread and have been hoping for a working version of this program for a long time!
Quick question, does clicking the gear in the top right allow for a hard reset using the clear storage method? (or does it open the clear storage settings menu?)
This hard reset option really messed things up on the old version of this software, to the point where I needed to flash a new rom.
FYI, I'm using a CDMA Telus diamond in Canada, eh.
I can confirm that soft reset, shut down, and screen off all work on a CDMA diamond, 20764 sys (from the leaked new sprint rom). The scheduling function also works great. I still wasn't brave enough to try the hard reset function though.
thanx for tweaking this app, it has now saved me a space in my start menu.
dharvey- thanks.
does anyone know where the setting is for the amount of time we need to hold the power key down before the psshutxp opens? i'd like to make mine come up faster.

Good idea (i prefer the end key long press for this) but for an inexplicable reason it's not working on my Diamond and Advanced Config 3.3. It seems to take the setting but when i press the end key it "choose" the action which is defined by Start - Settings - End key Long Press.

Not sure if the hard reset function works or not. I too am too chicken to try it.

Your welcome. I don't know if there is a setting to change that. It's the standard long-press-power-key function with a nicer, more functional interface.

It does PsShutXP has 3 functions:
- Display Off : Turn off your screen backlight (keep programs running)
- Power Off : The same when you press your Power button (differrent from when you do long-press Power button and chose YES)
- Soft Reset : Reset the device
About hard reset: don't worry, it just does a soft reset!
Simple Example: When you wanna change your SIM, usually you turn your device off completely, then remove battery, change the SIM. Now, you can't turn it off completely.
Btw, this is a good soft, but i don't think replace the PowerOfWarning.exe is a good choice!
If you guys don't care about the true "Power Off", forget my post and enjoy
i uninstalled it and soft reset however its still worki
ng.the only difference is that it does not appear in the uninstall list..
i love its looks but i somewhat disliked some behavior at the moment..
i found that after running it once it and after clickin on cancel it will run in the background (not such an issue as you are more likely to reset than power off the screen )
the problem in my case was that it somehow crashed this one time and a long press on the power button would not trigger it anymore..so i had to remove the battery to reboot.. it does work now again but i dont know what caused it..
wow.. thanks this is great stuff
however, anyway of making it into an actual APP, like the original psshutxp which is only triggered if u run the prog?
i dont really want it to be mapped to my power button...

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.

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427699
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.
PowBut
You might want to have a look at PowBut.
For instance here.
Haven't tried it myself though.
Thanks, will test it!

[Q] Powerbutton lock (endkey to power)

Hi,
I've searched for many hours to find the solution. But I couldn't found it.
I want to change my lock button from End key to power Button. Ik know I could use Slide To Unlock, but I prefer the HTC lock more.
Can someone tell me how to change this? So from End key to Power button just like S2U2?
thank you!
maybe you should search before opening a new thread. There is another thread with the exact same subject right below yours....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611021
i allready read the tread before creating this. But what i'm asking for is, is there a way to 'replace' the end key for the power button (eg egistry edit or something).
