Remap end key?

Okay, I've searched as best as I can, but I haven't been able to find information that helps. Is it possible to map the end key to a program like the Touch?
I've tried setting up the Long_End.lnk shortcut but it didn't work. I'm just hoping that the keyboard driver supports it, but I'm kinda doubting it since the Touch's keyboard driver is probably quite different (seeing as the Touch doesn't HAVE a keyboard).
If it isn't possible easily, is there a way that isn't so easy? Maybe changing the keyboard driver to the driver of another phone?
If there really isn't a way to do it natively in Windows, is there a key expander program that would work? I installed HButton, but it won't let me remap the End key.
Also, I'm running DCD 3.2.6 with Radio 3.42.50.

AE button plus does it. Just checked for you on my phone. I know it doesn't work with the camera button, but it works for everything else. I love that program.

very cool program. I like that I can set it up so a long press brings up the HTC End Key app and three presses locks the phone.
Ba da ba ba baah, I’m Lovin’ It....

that is one of the first programs I install each time I flash. The titan has so many buttons, but I've mapped them ALLLLLL. What the hell will I do when I get the Touch pro with less buttons?

Total agreement on AE Buttons. Wonderful program.
I also agree on the "more buttons" thing, not less. Any complex OS is gonna have a large number of options and programs... it's just life. If ya want simple, then don't get a smart phone!
Given the complex nature of OS's these days, it just doesn't make sense to me that continue to REMOVE buttons that help us get where we want to go quickly.

It looks prettier with more screen real estate.

Well, that's fine IF they were using the extra space for a bigger screen... or perhaps it's better to say it would be more acceptable if they where making a bigger screen. But they ain't doing that is most cases!

It's different from the menu you get when hold the call end button.
Not much, but it's different. He's put "suspend" where vibrate was, but not changed the icon.

Ah ok lol.

I use power off instead of SW reset.
And there have so many SW reset tools, work fine on HD2.
Maybe,I need add a reset intem in this tool.

If this could replace the orignal and add Restart it would be a must have

Well done! 非常感谢！
I like it very much. I won't worry about the life of the hard power key now.

Looks sleek, I will try this in my TP2 and see if it works...
Thanks bro!

[HELP!] - Hardkeys not responding! Need remap help ):

Hi!
I was stupid enogh to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6594359#post6594359 since it read "Manilla 2.5", not noticing it was for Touch Pro2.. Now my Hardkeys have died and I have to restart my phone (battery in and out) each time the screen shuts down.
Anyone got a resolution to this? /: Been searching with no luck for some time now ):
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I got a response from the authour of the app. that uses this and it reads:
"Goto to Start/Settings/System and you will find there the Keyboard Config.
- Open it and you should see ther the Home key created.
- Press and hold on the top of the "Home [10"] and a small menu should popup.
- Hit remove and than update config.
- You should also remove the dotcompt TP2 Start Menu Hardware key remap.cab.
- Soft reset"
I got no key-values in the list.. and I cannot add new keys (the app says I should press a key and release it to set it, but nothing happens, no reaction)
Is there something similar designed for the HD2?

Hi guy, wich key doesn't works?
You have uninstal the cab for remaping? You try AE Button?

None of the 4 hardkeys work.. AE-button? I cannot uninstall the cab, because it is not in the installed apps list (though it is in system settings.....)

Same problem
I'm having the same problem. None of my hard keys are working at all. Touch screen controls are fine. Tried going in through "System", then Keyboard Controller, but it says wrong drivers are installed :/

Bad mistake to use soft from TP2 topic
AE Button is a tools to remap Key, but it works only for WIndows and Green Button

Windows and Green Button? It is windows mobile, and to bring up an app. for a PC? (guess you mean windows for PC since you specified that it only works for windows)

Installed and tried that AE app now, still dead.
Oh, the volume buttons are also dead.
Well, I guess I'll have to wait a couple of weeks and just live with it until I'm ready for a hard-reset of my device.. a couple of days worth of work modding it back to what it was earlier today ><

Sorry guy :/

Thanks for the time and effort man, appreciated to see that some are comitted to helping!
That, I know all about, after a couple of years in cust. service for mobile d: contacts and messages are luckily saved through Windows MyPhone <3

I fixed this issue. Go into your REMOVE PROGRAMS screen and delete the application that has KEYBOARD Controller, or something similar to it. I noticed it on my list of applications and did not recall it being there before. I removed it, then performed a soft reset and all was back to normal afterwards.

Cool.. can't confirm this myself but if it works it sure could be helpful to others.
(I did a Hard-reset as I had an opportunity)

Useless Button

I am excited to use my TMOUS device except several small issues. Some of them already fixed here (thanks this forum), but some irritates me (especcially whole device is excellent). One of this is middle hard button ( I mean that "back arrow"). My opinion is its most useless key I saw. It will must better to use this as a comprehensive Task Manager or Task Switcher. But this ONE STEP BACK(!!)... Stupid! I can't find any decision in internet to correspond this button to useful function, except AEButton-software, but I don't like this so artificial way, which running on memory and fishing all button events. Anybody knows other solving?

i use the back button maybe a hundred times a day in opera. faster than calling opera out of fullscreen to hit the soft back button.
i havent heard of any other way to change it than by using aebuttons, sorry.

You Sir, deserve a +1 rep (if this board would have allowed it )
You saved me a lot of screen taps

heh no worries. The one drawback is that if you hit a link that opens in a new tab, and then hit the back hard key, it drops you back to manila home (although opera is still running, just switch back to it) because there is no 'back' for that tab, so it assumes you mean to go back to home.
However you soon get used to it and it happens less and less.

samsamuel Thats good, but its not enough for device with only 5 hardware buttons (except volume control) to have only one programmable button for user friendly functions. I guess professionals in this forum can help us to establish full control for these buttons!

If you search around, you will find apps to do just that.

I use the back button every time I use my phone in every program. how is a back button not a good idea?

The Back arrow button functions as close app button my Euro HD2. Initially I used to think that it's just allowing me to step out of an application back to the previous screen / app that I was in, but after checking the task manager periodically, I realised that this button actually closes my apps.
Are you guys sure it's not doing the same with your T-Mo edition?

[DEV REQUEST] WinMo "Right-Click" function

The right-click function mentioned in the topic would be an amazing feature to have in any android build. Being able to hold down on the screen for a second to bring up the menu is invaluable. Not to mention the amount of stress it would save on the Windows button..
Now this is only a request for the development of an idea I had for the current android builds. I do not expect anything to be done about it, only taken into consideration. If the work involved is too heavy and difficult to manage, then it doesn't have to be done. There are already MIUI builds that somewhat incorporate this idea.

whats wrong with pressing the windows button?

Some people have it in theur minds that pressing the keys too much will break them. Don't see why, if that happens you can't just buy a new set of keys from eBay to replace them...

Personally, I'd like to see someone develop a way of using the hardware keys to control the touchscreen. I'm really worried that, because of Android, I'm using my touchscreen more than it was designed for and I'm going to break it.

lol, yeah these people who break the hardware keys are obviously pressing them to hard or something. My HD2 is second hand, ive used it very often with the keys and they still work fine.
The keys are there to be pressed, its as simple as that.

have you seen software key panel app;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865525
it brings in the screen 4 software button that emulate the hardware button
no need to press anymore the hardware button
if you search in the thread you will find some very good skins for this great app

it is easier to break hardware buttons by too many times pressing them instead of break touchscreen from pressing
many people like me have broke their buttons because of the need that android have of them

Android already uses long-click in a lot of situations, I'm not sure how your idea would be able to co-exist with that.

That's true. Although, my idea was to ADD a long-click/right-click function to, say, the Browser app. Instead of long-clicking a link, picture, etc, you could long-click the page and bring up the options menu for the Browser app, not necessarily just links, pictures, etc.

That could not be done on a system-wide basis. Every single app would have to specifiy what part of each screen brings up the "right-click menu" and what should be on that menu.
If they were going to do that, they'd have done it already. And that is what the menu button is for.
