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

I haven't seen this question anywhere so i reckoned id ask..
I like to use my phone for listening to music but if you put it in your pocket id does all kinds of strange things - like opening PIE which starts a UMTS connection or it jumps to the next song..
I never use the videocall button on the phone, so why not map the built-in keylock to that one?
But does anyone know if this is possible/how to do it? can this simply be changed in the registry?
Thanks for any help.
I use vjay's device lock.

Hi. thanks for the quick response.
Works like a charm =)
but now i need to map the exe to the videocall-button. any ideas?
I beleive that the Video call button is button 5 on the left side of your phone. I have an 8525 so that button is PTT. I think if you try load the PTT fix it may open that button up. I am not sure about this so it you try that you may need to do a hard reset to get back if it messes up your phone. So make sure you have a current backup to quickly restore from.
Where ca you find the PTT fix?

hi. thx. but that wont work. the PPT button is not the video call button. i could of course map it to another one.
I use a program called double launcher got it at handango. It allows you to assign up to 4 different programs to each HW button. I only use 3 per button but it's real nice. It's done by press, -- double press, -- press and hold, -- double press and hold.
Check it out I assigned the VJ device lock to double press on comm manager.
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?

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?

So how do we go about doing that vijay555?
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.

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...
How can i map the start menu key and button on the screen to an application because i want when start is pressed to open my hp shortcuts instead of the start menu. Is it possible?
Settings\Buttons or AE Button Plus, use google to find out about it.
Please in future post in the correct sub forum as this is a Q&A....
yes the button on the phone's keypad but i also want the button on the screen? I saw in one video posted here that on toshiba ppc when the start menu is pressed on it opens a folder or a program and not showing the deafult start menu. Oh and stylez thanks for your quick reply
Yes, I would like a very similar thing. WM6.5 does this now. When you press on the Start Menu icon, it brings up the Honeycomb. Is there a way to assign any application to the Start Menu icon? Has such program been developed?

Remove Auto-Algin Shortcut
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi
Was wondering do any of you wonderful people know how to turn of the shortcut for the auto algin screen. I have a HTC Touch diamond and everytime you Push the Volume key and action key at the same time it launches the algin screen Very frustraing in GBA how can i disable this...?
I think you mean allign? Don't know how to turn it off though, my solution was to change the buttons so the combination is never used. I think the combination was volume up and OK
Thanks Paul...
I have tried that, but there are not enough buttons on htc Diamond... the only keys i can map are the Centre key the 2 volume keys and the back button. the rest dont work..... but thanks any way
