What is the action you usually take on your device? I guess tapping Ok/Close button.
It's smart to assign this action to an hardware button. But for almost PPC Phone Edition WM2K3, there are only 4 hardware buttons can be re-assigned by users and you dont wanna waste any button to simulate Ok/Close button.
Now, you can use the red phone button to do that beside its original function. It means: if you're having a phone call or a GPRS connection, pressing the red button will hang it up, if not, simulate Ok/Close button. I know that on some devices (e.g: XDA Mini...), the red phone button is used to quick minimize running applications also (e.g: you're opening Inbox Options, press the red button will go to Today screen directly without closing Inbox Options). I don't like this feature at all. I prefer using it to simulate Ok/Close button. So I've developed the tiny utility named "Red Button Remap". It has no GUI, no registry read/write. It has 2 files (total size ~11KB). It's just install then soft reset.
This utility is very useful for me so I posted here for someone like it.
I wrote it for my XDA Mini. I'm not sure about other device but it should work properly on WM2K3SE (phone edition only).
Red Button Remap version 0.1 beta:
- Re-map the red phone button on some WM2K3 phone edition devices to simulate Ok/Close button (REMEMBER: SIMULATION means it does nothing without the Ok/Close button appearance).
Will this work with WM5?
Can I assign a file to the red button instead of Ok/Close?
Thanks,

Sorry, I dont know much about WM5 and I have no WM5 to test. It may not work on WM5. However, you can test.
i installed it, hoping it might fix my PocketNester problem, but the software doesn't seem to have modified anything in my system. the Red button works as usually, i.e. it takes me back to the 'Today' screen.
msafi: what is your nester problem?

Pls read the program introduce again.
Pressing Red button will simulate Ok/Close button like tapping Ok/Close button (at top-right conner) by stylus. So Red Button Remap does not concern "real close" or "minimize" running apps.
I don't think that Red Button Remap conflicts with Pocket Plus. Could you explain in detail?

OK, now, I'm sure that WM5 is not support.

ah ! ok
is possible forze the application close (when i press the red button) or that is impossible?
in my opinion this capability is more useful...

That's possible. I'm trying develop the next updated allowing "single press" to simulate Ok/Close, "press n hold" (or "double press") to stop running app.
hi,
i have try to install and use your app another try...
but i not sure what's the difference of the redbtn function.
in ocasions the redbtn click minimizes the app's (example: calculator, configuration plug-ins...), but in other ocasions, the application is not minimized (example: message boxes or superalert config app).
the same occurs if your application is running or not...
my phone is s100 and i use with pocket plus (with the x button click configured to close apps)...
thank's
On my Magican it closes two windows (if there are opened 4 windows after RedButton remains only 2) :-(
Hey Guys,
is there any way to for instance chance the button with which you take pics on the HD, I have been taking pictures in the normal way but prefer to use the side buttons or another button on the bottom.
Help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Agreed ... is there any software that could do this. Heard software such as AE button could reconfig the buttons but cld these be done for the HD, would be really useful and less awkward then the touch screen in my opinion

Hmmm - I have AEButton Plus and I have not previously played with the camera and this button mapper.
I have the volume buttons mapped. BUT, in the camera application it seems that AEB+ is no longer able to trap the volume buttons. It looks like HTC have switched off the volume buttons in the camera application.
When I exit from the camera then the AEB+ mapping works fine.
so it is not possible to reassign other buttons to this purpose? too bad, thanks for the help and please let me know if you find anything!
actually it is possible to reassign volume up to Enter (with aebplus/aebutton plus) and use it in the touch hd camera app. Well... at least it used to work for me for some weeks. Now I have exactly the same problem and don't know what could have changed.
Strange thing is: When I unmap volume up in aebplus, do a soft reset, remap the button (with some luck) I can take exactly one picture - afterwards it is simply ignored.
really strange behaviour but it shows that there IS a way to keep the camera app from grabbing keys...
I did it Application released soon!

helo everyone!
i just installed new r3 soft (form this forum) and i just left windows on my phone, nothing else... but now my cammera button doesn't work.. what should i do?
I think you just have to (re)install the cab for the camera. It might work
i just try that and it didn't work... anyone have another idea? is it possible to do something in registry to solve that problem?
Ok check the Camera Software with the SE Media Panel !
Work the Volume Control with the side buttons ?
normaly work this button on this Firmware...
is this the original SE Firmware ?
i wouldn't like to install any panel, but if that's last solution i'll put it.. wher can i get that SE media panel??
volume side buttons works just fine..
frimware is ra3, download them here...
this is in the Offical Firmware integrated...
press once the button panel and go to Media and than Pictures.
on the top of this display is a Camera Button
Works the Software, is your button faulty.
Hi.
I'm just developing some kind of kiosk-mode application and i ran into a problem i wasn't able to solve by googling/forum search etc.
It's no big deal to disable most of the hardware buttons on the hd2 within c# using "UnregisterFunc1" and "RegisterHotKey" from coredll. just the home button makes problems. i can't turn it off and i can not even get the hex code for the button as AEButton e.g. won't capture it (and guessing did not work ). I read in the changelog of S2U2 that they managed to turn off the home button, unfortunately this is not open source...
I hope someone can give me a hint on a solution.

Hi everybody,
I've been digging into a lot of forums without clear answers and you may be of some help:
I've changed the digitizer of my Omnia I8000 running under W6.5 and everything was ok except that I damaged the ribbon cable for the keypad and the camera buttons. I was so close...
Now I do not have access to the camera buttons and can't enjoy my new scratchfree screen with homemade photos...
I've ordered a new one but in case i can't fix it I was wandering if there's a way to remap this button to the cube button for exemple.
Hbutton or aeplus is of no use, these hardware buttons are low level linked to the cam app.
I can launch cam application but when in camera mode i have no way to take the picture. Remapping the cube button to the cam app works by launching it but when in cam mode, the cube button don't trigger the picture.
I did'nt find where the low level hardware keys are link to the cam app.
Even if it means cooking a special rom i don't care, I can live without the cube button.
Any help appreciated
Eric

I think you should try an app called AE Button Plus v2.6.6.1.
sorry. I could not attach the file so please try google it.
