*** HTC HD2 "Back Hardware Key" code *** - HD2 General

Do you know what is the code of the "Back Hardware Key"?
I know that the code for long press "Send Key" is 40C6. I need it for short press of "Back Hardware Key".
Thank you in advance

Also looking for scan code, but long press

looking for win key code

AEButton Plus can tell you the codes of any key.
Once installed run it and add a new hardware key... you then press the key you want to add and it tells you the code.

Sorry, this doesn't work for the HD2's "Home" key. When you press this, it actually exits AEB. Wish there was a way to "trap" the scan code without it taking action on AEB.
So... does anyone know the scan code for the HD2's HOME button?

can't check it on hd2, but hd mini has:
HOME 0xC3
START 0x5B (windows logo)
BACK 0x5C

Device lock - am I blind?

For the life of me I can't find the device lock in settings, you know the one that gives you the option to lock all buttons except power button on device lock.
I would like to be able to turn the machine on by pressing something other than the power button but it seems it cannot be done.
Am I missing something?

I have managed to use the HTC lock but don't know how i did it. I do think that a good lock would be a plus for this phone.

What do you mean by 'HTC lock'? Where did you find this on the HD? I'm looking for the setting where you specify whether you want to lock all buttons or not?
In Settings > Buttons, go to the End Key tab and select the action you want when holding the End key. You can mae it pop up a menu if you want...
One of the options is Lock device.

hmm, yes, i found this but that is to lock the device using the long press end key.
What I am looking for is the setting where (at least on the diamond) you specify that the device locks all the buttons a) all the time b) none of the time or c) only when device is locked. i'm sure it was called button lock or similar.
That´s my problem, too. I would like to power on my HTC by using the volume buttons because the "power on" button is so small. Too small for my fingers
This = power on the HTC by using the volume button = is a possible option on the HTC Kaiser und Diamond.
Another question: Does a registry key for the button lock exist?
Thanks in advance

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...

[Solved]Cannot map the BACK key anymore with AE Button plus or MobileMagic

I cannot assign any actions with AE Button plus 2.6.4 to the back key on my Touch HD any more
I swear i could some days ago, but now i cannot... I use the "Action Key" in the settings of AE Button plus to map the actions should happen after pressing the back button, but nothing happens. All the other Key assignments work fine.
Have the same situation, any hint for a solution?
you can always add the missing button using "file, add button", press it (it will show you keycode "405C"), then "add key". Its added to the list as "Button #405C". Then define behaviour as usual.

Had the same problem. Uninstalled from memory stick and reinstalled to device. Problem Solved. i think it has something to do with the usb connection. When you connect to pc from disk transfer the device cannot see the memory stick and all AE button settings are lost. Hope it Helps.
great thanks I'll check it out!

Still have the problem Maybe some application "destroyed" me something in the configuration of my HD.. any ideas I can fix it?
The key is working, but I cannot assgin any actions to it with AEButton and if I add the key manually (File -> Add KEY) it tells me, that I pushed the WINDOWS KEY , code 405C, is THIS the original code of the HTC back key? Please check if your code is the same
OK fixed it!
Just added the Key 405C manually into the .cfg file, than i assigned some actions to it and restarted. After this I assigned some actions to the OK Key in the AE Button settings and deleted the 405C key, after this it worked PM me if you experience problems!

any ideas for configuring home key and backspace key ?
i've tried with AE Button, but it doesn't work claerly.

some ideas ?

As I know, the 'Home' key is not configurable in HD, not sure about the 'Back' key.

The "back" key is mapped as "OK button" in AEButtons, and can be configured. The home one seems to be almost impossible to do as said by AEB devver

the back key is not fully able to configure.
if you try to set : "left button" and then try the button always go to home screen and then "left button".
if you try it ex: under "programms" go to lnext left icon -> then it jumps back to "home" screen + left

well - i'm trying to find out how to map the keys on HTC Blackstone....
here is also a interesting link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3144390#post3144390
for now i know:
TOP:
Power Button can fully handled (short click + long click) via lnk file.
LEFT: (there are 2 buttons)
Can fully remapped via AEB Plus (1-,2-,3-short click, + long click).
BOTTON:
there are 4 buttons:
"Green Key",
-> mapping possible via AEB Plus,
but for long key you have to use: AEBPlus + Button: "Button1(Hold)" - don't ask me why, bnut it works on this way..)
"Home Key"
-> nothing possible !!!
"Back Key"
-> not really mapable (mapping possible, but always send to wanted mapping ~backspace and jump back to Homescreen and then the mapped button will execute - little bit strange ..)
Longpress also doesn't work
"Red Key",
-> mapping possible, but without Long Press
tried with aebutton also (last version)
some additional ideas ?

How do I go to home screen?

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,
G

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?

there is prolly an app for remapping the buttons,just do a quick search
The third hardware button (left arrow) gets you home, but doesn't close running programs.
