Hi All,
Is there any small application, which can simulate I press the power button?
Because the power button is hard to press, I wish to add a shortcut to this application, and tap the screen instead.
I found some which is to turn off the screen only, but I want to put the machine in suspend mode just like press the power button.
Thanks.

Thats not true, you are pressing the button in the wrong way .
Read this.
If you really want a application that can suspend your device look for psShutXp or iLauncher. I think there are really many applications able to do that.
sure there are tons of applications for pocketpc which when started turn off the pda
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...off+program&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=f
used a few of them myself works just fine
Haa......I also read this post before, I knew how to press the power button correctly......
To be more precise, I don't want to press the power button frequently in order to protect it from damage.

Hi,
How do you change the soft key to this exe.
And can this exe be used to wake up the device by tapping on the screen.
Thanks
You can modify it by changing registry
\HKLM\Software\HTM\Manila\HomeLSK* and HomeRSK* values.
I think a hardware trigger is needed if you want to wake up the device.
To wake up by tapping on the screen, the device cannot be in suspend mode then, just the screen is off.

Hello,
I have 6.5.5 custom ROM on my device and trying to figure out how to navigate to home screen? I used Diamond before with dedicated home button but on this phone it does not have dedicated home button, so how do I do that?
Thanks,

just press the end call button. or you can go to start>settings>personal>buttons then set it to where one of the hardware buttons takes you to home.
Long Press End Key has 2 different tabs under Settings/Button. One on the settings application itself and another one under "program buttons". The one on the settings application itself overrides whatever I put into "Programs Buttons" for long hold of end key. Any ideas?

I got same problem. I assign task manager to x-panel manager button, unfortunately it change camera button to run task manager too. After removing assignment camera button not working.
AEButton assign camera button together with panel button, recognizing them as one (ctr key).

Use the OK key instead and assign a long press for task manager and a short press for ok key.
It works flawlessly
HOW do you assign a button? You need a program for that? If so, is there a way to assign the voice command to a button?

I'm using aebutton plus, it has also an handy integrated task manager (I assigned it to long press OK button)

Maybe, but I cant help a lot here, VC is not available in Italian, and I feel a bit stupid talking with a machine in English
So, I never used it.
Well, you could use German or French to talk to your phone too
I will give this program a try. And report back. By the way, what are you using this for? And if one assigns only 1 button, will the rest be changed too, or only that one. Don't want any more trouble with the X2.... if I can avoid it
By the way, what are you using this for?

I use (and used it for years) it mainly to remap the volume rocker as a "fake jog dial" (very handy to read ebooks) and because the AEBP task manager is quickest task manager to use when you have to quick swich from an app to another or to kill a stuck application w/o messing with the touch screen.
Is it posible to assign shortcut from any program to
hardware button (button where is panelmanager and slideview) on xperia x2
Thanks
you can always try to use advanced configuration tool heres a link http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/download-advanced-configuration-tool.html or AEBplus http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ae-button-plus-v2-3-1.html use at your own risk though. you might not be able to change the the panel button but i know you can change the OK long press, volume up and down, or your camera button tell me how it works out and good luck.
Thankssssss
Hi, thank you so much, you help me so much......
with 1st "advanced configuration tool" it doesn't work
with 2th "AEBplus" it is done , but how you say I can't assing my "panel-slideview button" with any application.
but I can assing my OK button with
1press=ok/close and
2presses=rescue file explorer it was my aim (to have a hotkey for this application)
I don't know what is the name on "panel-slideview button":
I have this option
1. F3
2. MASG
3. OK key
4. Windows key
5. Enter/Action
6. Volume up

dont worry ive tried it and doesnt work, it opens the short cut key but also opens panled.
how ?
how do you opens the short cut key , because i erased all panels end slideview, and when i push it it does't open nothing
Well - i did it the stupid way, just renamed the application to PanelManager.exe and put it under Program Files/PanelManager ---- works fine it is a little tricky with the slide view because i still need it for the FM Radio and it also opens it by default for many other things live media files and missed calls, however, you can go and remove these defaults one by one...Hope this helps
Try to change some keys in HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/keypad
SlideView button keys - pm_***
nothing like "SlideView button keys" in "HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/keypad"

I've made an alternative radio for X2. For regret, it is only pre-beta with some small bugs, but I have no time to fix them. Hope, you'll forget about SlideView like about fearful dream

Hi.
I really miss the search button from the Desire device. I have tried to remap the send (dial) button to search by altering the bravo-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout. But the change didn't work. My altered keypad file is posted below, maybe someone can tell me why it's not working?
SOLUTION: Edit the right file. In my build the default qwerty.kl file was used not the bravo-keypad.kl. Adding SEARCH to key 231 and 61 turns the send key into a search key Even voice search by long press works
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 231 SEARCH
key 61 SEARCH

just revert what you changed back to how it was.
then hold down the start button (Windows Logo) and the keyboard will pop up, once you start typing it will go into the search app.

This is exactly what I have done, remapped the physical send button (left most button on the HD2) to behave like a search button. HTC Desire does not have a send button either, and I don't miss it. I find it more usefully to have a search button then a send (call) button.

Try remapping a button to DPAD_CENTER and see if it works for the trackball in camcorder.

All files related to key mappings are located in /system/usr/keylayout . The qwerty.kl is the one that android is defaulting to if not specified otherwise. There may be some other kl files in the folder, but the vendor specific file is just "left overs" from the ROM rip (in some cases).

Mapping End Key
Has anyone mapped the end call button to work. On my Darkstone build I have to hit the end call on screen, hitting the red hard key just shuts the screen off (very annoying). I then have to wake up the phone and end the call.
I pulled both bravo_keypad and qwerty files but both seem to be set to the right end key.
Any ideas or help?

theres an options in the settings menu to do this, i just cant find it. I used to have it set correctly, but changing roms every few days, you start to get confused. I would appreciate it if someone could point us in the right direction.
Thank you.

Could be that your build uses an other file then the qwerty.kl. Have you tried to edit the vendor specific file instead?

Now i just need help with chaning the volume buttons to the camera buttons.
I changed:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
To:
key 115 CAMERA WAKE
key 114 CAMERA WAKE
Upon press it starts the camera app, but will not take a photo. However when i switch to the camcorder function, that works just fine.
Ideas?
ps: i just use a widget to control my volume, which is very rare for me.
