I'm using the desire build 5.7 with cotulla's new zimage.
i've searched High and low to see if someone has posted it already and couldn't find a solution.
I have had a similar issue with trying to use android.
I have a euro hd2 with 2_12_50_02_2, using chucky gtx rom, installed following task 29.
The rom seems to work well in windows with the problem of non-functioning hard key buttons in the WINMO also. It seems impossible to assign functions to the hard keys via the windows settings - only the send key option is displayed. The send key (green) button works fine for bringing up the dial pad and the end key (red) works fine also. The start button appropriately brings up the windows menu in this rom, though i have noticed that it does not work on other roms. Currently my home key and back key do not appear to do anything in the WINMO under chucky gtx rom!!
This presents no problems in WINMO as htc sense is easily navigated use touchscreen only and to be honest i never even touch the hard keys. However, this presents a massive problem in ANDROID - the android becomes impossible to navigate as I cannot ever go back or use the home key to get to the main screen. This is the same in sense or launcher mode.
I am using a clean fat 32 4gb class 2 micro sd, desire build v 5.7 from gamesquare and tried all the latest zimage files from cotulla and others but always the same problem. the send key is working fine but then i cannot get out of the dial pad. pressing the end key puts the sense in lock and screen off and i can long press this to power down but if i unlock then i am just stuck at dialpad or where ever i was when i locked. the windows key seems to bring up context menu fine and long press brings up key board in android. The home button does seem to wake from sleep sometimes i think, back button does not seem to work at all.
I have tried changing the rootcfs as well but this did not do anything. I had the same problem on FROYO build so im guessing it might not be an android problem. I am using JMZ dual boot on new rom installs without any other programs on windows or anything else other than android on the microsd.
I have not tried any stock roms to see if they solve the button issue in WINMO but cant really understand why they dont work so well in ANDROID or are they linked as android is ontop of windows?
Ihave found a workaround by installing "soft home key" app from market place which is helpful. but still looking for a fix. All very frustrating!!!
Searched everywhere on xda for answers to no avail. even googling for days!!!
PLEASE HELP. I think im not alone if above post is anything to go by
seem to have the same problem myself.
a short press of the windows button goes home, a long press brings up the recent apps; not the menu.
same issue here
i looked at the files located under /system/usr/keylayout and they all indicated that the correct functions were assigned to the correct keys
anyone else have any ideas?
Just remove the Android file from SD, then reload. Done. These builds are not complete yet. Crap is bound to go wrong.
i think the word we are looking for ..is.........beta

I had the same problem...The home button on my rooted Nook Color stopped working. I finally stumbled on the answer. I double clicked the home button and it brought up settings. The home button was set to softkeys instead of home. Just change it and it works again.

is there a Registry key(s) to view to check or make this button access the Phone or the functions of Dial? It stopped working on my last upgrade to 6.5, and I thought it was a problems with the new OS. I have now reverted back to 6.1 and it still doesn't work. I can't answer the phone with this hard button and I cannot bring up the dialer either. I have made the green phone button another button using HButton, and I made the green button access the Calculator using AEButton Plus. The calculator does not come up when the button is pushed, but I can make the phone come up, but not dial. This may be related to a problem when I do Phone Code Data ##3282#. The phone goes to EPST then quickly goes to the dialer so I can't do any troubleshooting. I posted this to ppcGeeks too. Help Please
ok, this is quite irritating and i wondered whether users here experienced the same problem.
basically happens in the home screen( most of the time) or in some other apps (seldom).
Instead of the manilla button on the left and the Menu button on the right, sometimes it will disappear and will be replaced by the keyboard button in the center.
The only way to get my left and right buttons are to soft reset / pressing the "about" in keyboard.
I sometimes experience this for unknown reasons. to work around it I press the windows button and then the home button (hard keys) and then the soft keys return. if in another application then exit and reload app. I'm running o2 stock rom 1.43 (uk).
Yeah I get this too. I think it's something to do with an app I've installed. I either drop down Dutty's Task Manager and pull it back up, which refreshes the screen, or you can press the start tab and then go back to the home screen and it should be fine. I don't think you need a soft reset, at least I don't.

i think it has to do with dutty's or touch X task manager. installing those made this happened. or maybe its a coincidence?
I have the TMOUSA HD2 (latest stock ROM), but I assume this question would apply for all HD2s.
I have an app called Doublelauncher, that I bought years ago, that can remap hardware keys to different functions depending on single press, double press, triple press, press and hold, double press and hold.
The HD2 doesn't have many hardware buttons. The WinMo button app only shows one that can be configured--press and hold the green key. (Default of that to Voice Command. I would like to keep it with that function.)
In fact, I would like to keep all the default functions of the few keys on the device, just add more possibilities via long press, double and triple press, etc.
Doublelauncher doesn't work at all on the HD2. It installs, the app starts, but shows absolutely no keys that can be mapped.
I've read here on XDA about AE Button Plus, that it can remap anything, including the double and triple functions, long plus, etc. I downloaded the newest version, and installed it in main memory.
Extremely difficult to figure out how to use it, with no help file, no directions at all from the developer, not on his web site either. (Does anyone know of a good online guide or tutorial for this app?) However, I thought I finally figured it out (to some extent), and mapped different functions to the back key, for double press, triple press, and press and hold. I rebooted the machine after saving, tried these different presses, and none worked at all. The back key still only did back, no matter how many presses, no matter if I held it.
Other problems I find with AEB. I had installed Duttys Task Manager last night, and did the registry tweak necessary to have its icon on the right end of the task bar. Nice task manager. But AEB seems to keep changing (on reboot) that reg value back to 0, so the task bar icon does not appear.
Furthermore, AEB slows down my system terribly. (That is on the HD2, the fastest WinMo device there is!) Boot time is now incredibly slow, it is ridiculous!
Therefore, I have a couple of questions:
1. Suggestions to make AEB really work, and not cause the problems described above?
2. Has anyone had success with other button remappers on the HD2? Vito Button Mapper? Others?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ok so I have this SW related problem (ROM on my sig), where home button not always works. If i hold power button until the power screen appears, i can close it and then home buton works OK for anoter lets say 15mins only, so its quite annoying.
How can map return home action for lets say holding down search key? The problem is neither about button itself (works perfect n other ROMS) nor launcher (when killing foreground app phone returns to the homescreen)
I know i can do it from screen with button savior but it's by far not as practical as using capactive buttons and it's not what I'am looking for.
Other than that the ROM is very close to perfect, so changing it is not an option

I think, must check, that Jellybean lets you do that?
Well, even if it does, I'am running MIUI on ICS.
CM10 and codefireX nightlies (and JellyTime too maybe, I haven't tried) have that working. There's a CM feature in settings called 'Hardware keys' where you can assign different functions to all keys for short press and long press. Though bliind's MIUI is based on CM, it doesn't have the option.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I see...
is there any way of getting similiar sw on other roms?
btw i'am running the official 2.9.7 MIUI based on ICS straight from miui.com, not bliind's custom build.
I remember there was some app for that.
I think it's called button remapper, and it does just that. It's in a beta version, but I used it with success. It is ROOT, but you already have that.
If you can't find it then I'd be willing to pull the .apk from a backup and give it to you.

Well, this app was capable of mapping short press, but it turned out mapping different keys didn't solve the problem. I guess without official update there is not much can be done... Thanks anyway.
can not be! clerical error
Recently flashed BeanStalk ROM but have a problem with the Home Button not working. It simply does nothing... like i'm not even pressing it. The physical image of the button is on the screen and the button does respond to my touch, the circle shows up around the button when i touch it but the function does nothing... Maybe the command for the button is messed up or the digitizer commmand has it outside of the touchable area or some other programing type problem. The Home Button does work on all 4.2.2 ROMs.
I've also flashed other 4.3 AOSP ROMs that have the same problem. I've flashed so many that I don't remember which ones have this problem. I can, however, tell you that SlimRoms and LiquidSmooth and Pac-Man(among others that I also forget) do NOT have the problem.
I was wondering if anyone has a solution, suggestions for fix, or maybe some directions on how I can change the code by editing .txt files if that's even possible. I'm not a programmer but I can follow directions and am willing to try any and all suggestions no matter how complex or simple including programing as long as there are directions or links to directions.
I've tried different launchers which I believe have nothing to do with the navigation buttons,
I've tried changing the home button function to a different position in the navigation bar. Ive tried setting the home command to long press.
Same problem with pie.
I've searched the internet and read and/or tried everything I could find on this subject, I've also reworded the question a million different ways and tried anything I could find.
