Actually CLOSING programs using the HW-keys

With the Wizard I used VJOKButt with the IE-button so that I could close programs and dialogs without using the stylus.
The TyTN/Hermes has it's own OK button(s), and I was wondering if anyone knows a way these buttons can actually close (or be reconfigured to launch VJOKButt) programs?
I've already tried AE Button Plus but couldn't set a custom action for the OK button (allthough this might be because I didn't register the program)...
Any tips would be apreciated!

Moskus, if I ever get my computer working again,

I may try to build such a feature in to VJOkButt, but I'd rather people be able to use their own button mappers. However, if AE Button plus doesn't do it, then I may try to build in this feature.

AEB Plus
Actually it does work, you just have to add it as a new button (menu | add button). I've got my OK hardware button mapped to ok/close for one press and close front application for a long press.

I certainly would love it if is was build in to VJOKButt, Vijay!
I guess I'll try AEButton again (for now). Didn't see that "Add button" feature.. :wink:
EDIT: The AEButton finds the hardware OK button, but the combination of VJOKButt and AEButton won't close the application, just minimize it. :?

With AE Button Plus 2.4.3 beta and upwards, you can capture and map the "ok" and "windows" buttons. Have set mine to close apps with 2 depresses of the "ok" button.

can it be done by tweaking some of the registry rather to instsall some of the 3rd party program?

Hmmm... I should have investigated some more. Now it works!

PQzII let's you map any button on the hermes (and universal) to anything you want...it is really great. It has an option to make the ok button a 'really close button' and much more.

You can find out a lot about it in this forum by searching for pqzII.

Hi All,
I'm trying AEBPlus and I tried to map the OK button the side to be "OK/Close" for one press and "Close active application" for two presses. however, the single press doesn't seem to work. Pressing it once no longer minimizes applications or funciton as the OK/Close button. In fact it does nothing. I'm using a CHT9000 with the Dopod English Rom. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

how about good old smartskey? it works in my Hermes, press&hold right softkey removes active window from memory.

Aye, but until it supports OK button it's less intuitive. The newest version support the OK button on the Prophet but this operates the PIE button on the Hermes. I've PM'd Water about it but no response

OK buttons NOT mappable under WM5..not through menus anyway!

I agree. On my HTC Prophet using Wisbar Advanced 2, I am able to map the 'OK' button to 'Close/OK' option of the Wisbar application, which did close all my programs etc. On my VarioII the 'OK' buttons are not mappable. Bummer!!

Try PQZII for me is fantastic, not only to close programs, you can map everithing...

How d'u use it this PQZII? Help!!

Forgive my stupidity, but I'm currently using it, but haven't a clue how to get it to that for sure. It seems to work for some applications, but not for others. Any tips or guides for dummies like me :lol:

I'll join the dummies club too!

PQzII would be perfect if we could attach key presses of the same key to different apps like in AE button plus.
unfortunately, once PQzII captures the button, it overides AE button plus, meaning the 2 can't work together on the same button.
also found out that AE button plus 2.5 doesn't capture the windows button at all. Investigated back and found that only 2.4.3 beta did.

I dont know AEbutton so I dont understand why you want use both the programs. (note: also PQZ dose not configure well the win button) but you can configure any other button, eg: alt+left to close program (I put alt in internet button so if I want to close a program I press "internet program" and "left".

I've mapped my 'Button 5' (under settings/Buttons...) to 'Close/ok' of the Wisbar Advanced settings, which does close everything. Just until, as bydandie said, a more intuitive method can be achieved by using the 'ok' button.

in PQZII there is an option to make ok button to close, I dont use that option because I want to have some programs running down, you can try

Possible to re-map hold function of buttons?

I just finished installing PTTFix on my 8525 and I love it. (Thanks Sleuth255!!).
My question is this: is it possible to re-map the other 4 buttons to also add a hold function for them? i.e. When can add extra functions for holding the IE button, or the Messaging Button, or even the camera button.
If there's a registry hack for this or some way to do it please help me out, I've done numerous searches to no avail.
Thanks in Advance to anyone who can help.

it seems the reg hack can't do that for you. i've asked a similar question in a different thread and i was recommended using software such as AEButtonPlus or Vito Button Mapper. give it a try if you are interested.

Thanks, I tried Vito Button Mapper and this was exactly what I was looking for. The only bug was it changed and disabled my soft key functions in the today screen, but a simple settings change and soft reset was a quick fix.

When you go to Setting/Buttons to change your button functions, the configuration will be for default, from that drop down menu where you see "*<Default>, you need to select *<Today> and then it gives you the option to change your soft keys either back to original settings or whatever you want. The default setting seems to be <none> so thats why my soft keys did not even work before I changed them. I read about this in another thread and I was able to fix the problem.
As for the record function, I couldn't find any solution for that but I did encounter the same problem with it opening up notes.

8525 Ok button
Does the Vito ButtonMapper allow the changing of the "ok" button on the front of the 8525. I know the side "ok" button is supported, I am looking for the front ok above the End Call Button.

[Q] Can The Home Button Be Reprogrammed??

I was wondering if someone knows how to reprogram the home and back 'Hard Buttons'. I'v done alot of searching but without success. One of the sites I visited stated that the buttons are non-programable except for the 'Voice Command Button' .
I even went through creating a new button in the registry. The option becomes available in settings but nothing happens to the buttons.
Just some infor from anyone would be helpfull

How to make more buttons mappable in settings/buttons

Hi. I'd like to know if there's a way to make more HW buttons visible in settings/buttons so that they can be mapped?
I've looked at the registry but that didn't make me any wiser..
I don't want to use X1 button mapper, I just want more buttons to choose from.
Now there's only Left Key and Right Key available.
/Thanks

Yes, I've already tried AE B+ but I didn't like the lag it produces from pressing a button until the action is performed.
I found out today that with SPB pocket Plus you can add buttons to the stock WM6.1 buttonmapper and you can also assign a press+hold function to every button.
I also tried the freeware HButton with which you can assign 5 actions to every HW button in the stock buttonmapper list.
In combination with SPB Pocket Plus this is a must have for me.
No lag at all!!!
/thanks for the tip anyway.

I tried using SPB PP for this purpose and it didnt give me any new buttons. What extra buttons does it let you map?

I've so far only tried with the ok button.
After installing spb pp I got an option in the button window that says "Add new button".
Try it and follow the instructions.

Eh. Doesnt work with any other. I shall continue with X1BC. I like the fact that HButton vibrates on press and hold. I should add this to X1BC.

AEB Plus....

Does anyone know if AEB works in the TP2 I'd very much like to change the buttons, I miss my scroll wheel and I'd like to make the volume rocker scroll up and down instead
Cheers,

I'd have made ONLY: 1 press volume button down to ''scroll down'' & long press same button to ''speaker vol down''. Same for volume button up.
I"d try make something with other buttons but unsucsessfull

Its very unstable with the other buttons...volume button I haven't tried.

Tried all buttons, but most of them won't work.
Volume works great for single-double-tripple and long, but that's about it.
Did not find any change in Menu-button or changes on phone buttons. I could not find the 'Button 1' on the device.
So, it was a great program for my qtek9000, it's almost useless for this one... I hope they will be able to get all buttons!
Besides, I'm hoping for someone to hack the zoom-slide to change it into 4 buttons... (eg. in this order: left-up-down-right so we might use AE to change those buttons)

I use the latest version on my TPro2 and it works like a charm.
No problems at all.

The same way: it works perfectly...

Does someone know, how to access this key
I'm using AEBplus on my HTC Touch2 aka Mega and would like to remap the key with an arrow to the left. See also the picturee.
Does somebody know how to do this. In the program I can't find it.

Now the answer did come !!!
See here :
As for your question:
At least some of the HTC devices implements “back” button scan code to generic “Ok” button. So you could just try to re-define “Ok” in bplus settings list and see if it will work on “back” button.
There are 3 situations with buttons:
- button is already in list but could be named differently.
- button could be added via File -> Add Button in bplus settings menu.
- button is implemented on a driver level making impossible interception by application-level software like BPlus.
Regards
cimber
PS : the "back"- button is assigned on the HTC Touch2 like the "ok" - button in AEBplus
