AE button OK remapping no work on today screen

I've finally find a software to remap the OK button, but..............
I'm wondering why AE button(2.5.2) OK remapping no work on today screen, works OK when a window is on the screen?
John
try 2.6 -
tried 2.6 and same problem on the TODAY screen button returns on default function, anyone found a solution?
So what function did you remap the ok button to? It works fine on my device.
I've set on the Trinity OK button :
one press > atlTab.exe (to switch from one application to another)
two press > rotate screen
tree press > tomtom navigator
but when I'm in the today screen (no application running) OK button return to it's original function (opens start menu).
John
how did you use the ok key in aebutton? did you add new button or use the built in button? (2.5.2 doesn't seem to have a built in ok / win key that you have room add yourself)
if you did an upgrade and preserved your old configuration, check it up for duplicated ok key may be a good idea.
You are right on 2.5, I had a custom button, but now upgrading it, I've found my configuration on the OK key.
I need to reset the 2.6 configuration, you know how?

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...

Xperia Remap

Hi guys,
im wanting to remap the panel button, I never use it and miss a button to show the today screen like that on the diamond.
In the start menu is a link to show it, so I assume it must have some exe somewhere, does anyone know where?
Or how to write a quick exe which will do the job?
i know the reg key to change it to is here:
HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\ApplicationName
cheers
Pressing the hangup button shortly does exactly that.
hangup button? for showing the today screen I press the "OK" Button

[REQ] Assigning 'home' button in Titanium

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if the collective genius at XDA could help me out with a small question.
I'm using a Diamond with titanium, and when I press the 'home' key, it successfully brings me to the home screen. What it does not do is bring me to the 'clock' panel. By default, titanium reverts to the last panel you were viewing. Perhaps I was tainted by Manila, but I'm now used to pressing 'home' and seeing the time. I know i can always see the time in the taskbar, but humour me please. My question is:
Is there any way to make the home button send me directly to the 'clock' panel in Titanium?
(OR - - have titanium refresh to the clock panel instead of remembering where you last were)
Thanks in advance all!
on my device (Titan) pressing the End Call takes me to the Clock plugin and centers it on screen. Have you tried pressing the home button twice or pressing the end call button after pressing the home key.
Default Panel
Did you ever get an answer to this? I too am trying to figure out how to create a default panel. Not being able to have Titanium revert to a specific panel after a set period of time is the only issue I have. If you find a way to do this please share it with me.

This also works on the AT&T Fuze.. Hitting the "End Call" take me back to the clock.
Thanks. I was hoping to be able to find a tweak or something to have it done automatically.
End Call Key - Titanium clock panel
I am also looking for a registry tweak which takes me to the Clock Panel with a short press of the End Call Key. Some cooked WM6.5 Titanium roms have it and some do not. Thanks

Changing Home Button to Start Menu

Hi, Anyway to switch the existing HOME button on the HD to START button instead?
Thanks
is it AE Button Plus? I think that what I used, couldn't change the home button so I used the back button instead. You can set it up to handle more than one press too.
Not by using AE button program but by mod the registry. Is it possible?
No, you can't change the Home button.
Bump on this topic. Anyone know how to do this via registry? The home button and the end call button do the same thing on the HD and it's a waste IMO to not have a use for one of them.
Home button >>>> Start button would be awesome.
