Anyone know how to disable the hardware buttons for the incoming call screen?
I only want to answer/reject calls with the slider, not the hardware buttons as I sometimes touch them by accident while getting the phone out of my pocket.
I've tried PocketShield but didn't like it, although it was able to disable the hardware buttons. Any other suggestions?
Have you already tried s2u2? The slider can receive/reject incoming calls and you also have options to disable the hardware buttons. Works great on my elf.
I tried it some days ago, couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to, mainly because I don't want to use the locking part. I always lock my device with the power button and I only wanted to have the ability to disable the hardware buttons for incoming calls.
After your message, I decided to install it again and give it another try. Changed some of the settings and I think I finally managed to get it working the way I want to!
It's a bit of a memory consuming app for just disabling the hardware buttons for incoming calls, but hey, it works
Thanks!
If anyone finds a solution without using S2U2, please let me know!
Ok, I have uninstalled S2U2 again. Even though it did do the job, it was also a memory consuming application just for disabling the answer/reject keys during incoming calls and I want to keep my device as clean as possible.
I have searched for hours trying to find a solution to this what I think is a very common problem. How many of you have accidentally accepted or rejected calls because of the hardware buttons? In my opinion, HTC should have thought about this and provide a solution for it.
Anyone with a better solution than S2U2?
Thanks for your input!
New version 1.40 of S2U2 uses MUCH less battery. I almost don't notice, it's running. Great program at least for me.
Since your previous post S2U2 1.4 has been released. This is supposed to address the issues you mention.
can you tell me how you have set your settings for just disabling the hardware buttons for incoming calls in s2u2 ? Thanks
I've used AE Button Plus to disable the 'Answer Call' an 'End Call' hardware keys as I had the same annoying problem of accidentally rejecting a call when taking the device out of my pocket. This works well for me and have now enabled the keys to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on with 3 taps.
Thanks everyone!
I wasn't aware of the latest S2U2 version and I almost gave it another try until I read Anfloyd's post.
I did look at AE Button Plus before, but didn't think it was capable of doing what I wanted: disable the hardware buttons during incoming calls, but still have them functional when there isn't an incoming call (such as showing the phone dial screen which it does by default).
When I looked at the AE Button Plus website, I noticed I couldn't configure the buttons based on the current active screen/program. So, even though I knew I could disable the hardware buttons, I thought I would then loose the whole functionality of them..and that would make the answer and reject buttons on my device useless.
BUT, after reading your message Anfloyd, it got me thinking..I don't need to configure it based on the current screen/program. I can just disable the buttons for 1 tap..and assign programs for them for 3 taps for example.
So, now I have this:
- 1 tap: do nothing. This way, both the answer and reject buttons are not working during incoming calls and I can only use the slider to accept/reject calls.
- 3 taps for answer button: start the phone application.
- 3 taps for reject button: nothing yet, but I'll find something
This is a solution I can work with! I have only tested it for a short time, so if it turns out that AE Button Plus is causing problems I'll give the latest S2U2 another try, but so far this seems to be working just fine.
Thanks again for your input!
ChrisVDD, those options can be found in the S2U2 settings. I don't have S2U2 installed anymore so I don't remember the exact settings. I just disabled all locking features that I didn't need, selected to disable the hardware buttons and chose to use the slider. Give it a try, you should be able to sort it out. If you can't, let me know and I'll install S2U2 again to see what settings you need.

First, select and hold "Green Phone button".
Then do this from top to bottom:
3. Handle by AEBPlus
1. Single press
1. None
..and select Ok
Then select and hold "Green Phone button" again.
Do this from top to bottom:
3. Handle by AEBPlus
3. Triple press

..and select Ok
Then File > Save and Exit
That's it

Thank you for your fast reply, now It works like I wanted it to do.
Is it possible to end call using red hardware button but not to ignore it before answering? I tried AEBplus and it works like it should but that's not all I needed.

The problem I have with s2u2 is that I cannot mute incoming calls... The voulme buttons are locked... the touch screen is locked and mute on face down also does not work....
Maybe A_C will allow us which buttons to lock in the next release...
Hello everyone, I'm sure many people will be interested to know that AE Button Plus is working perfectly with LEO and support english, french (which I use), spanish, deutsch and ten other languages. BTW, this is my first post, so every comments are welcome
The HD2 may be a touch device, it still has 7 buttons and I use them for variaty of functions, including switching on/off BLUETOOTH, WIFI or TORCH. You can even assign any button to run an application. The program is VERY stable and VERY convenient.
This exceptional app has the ability to reassign function to (almost) every physical button of your device, including the volume button. Moreover, it has the ability to assign different functions whether you press the button ONCE, TWICE or LONG PRESS. It very simple to use and work wonderfully with my HTC HD2 (as wall as many other Windows Mobile Device). I've used it for more than a week and I can't report any bug, even though I installed many other apps, tweak and so on.
I'm using the evaluation version (you have pay 7.99$) by the fact that it shows a splash screen when device starts up. But you can believe I will pay the damn Russian guy who created the app, many even donate more!!!
I wanted to share my experience with using this app, since it's not very known in this (great) HD2 forum. Also, I want to show you the way I've been remapping the buttons, to show how useful it can get. Feel free to comment!!! Once you install the program, softreset and assign the AEBPlus to a shortcut and you're ready to rock! By the way, the icon is quite ugly, but that's just a minor issue .
THIS IS THE WAY I REMAPPED HD2 BUTTONS (in brackets, the way AEPlus "calls" the button)
Volume up.
Single press: volume up
Long press Backlight up
Volume down.
Single press: volume down
Long press Backlight down
Hang up (green phone button)
Single press: switch vibration mode on/off (and shut down the volume)
Double press: switch torch on/off (run application "TorchButton v2.3")
Home button (button #00ED), added manually
Single press: unchanged, impossible to remap ??
Double press: switch bluetooth on/off (impossible to make it different than the "Home button"...)
Long press: impossible to remap ??
Windows button (windows key)
Single press: ok/close (close the window, but not the program still runs)
Double press: windows file explorer (you can choose to run another explorer, for example Total Commander)
Long press: close active application ("really" close the application)
Return button (also button #00ED, added manually, see ISSUE below)
Single press: unchanged (actually I chose no action, but the original function remains)
Double press: switch bluetooth on/off
Long press: switch wifi on/off
Power button (red phone button)
Single press: unchanged (shuts down backlight)
Double press: unchanged
Long press: unchanged (actually, I use it with "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen v1.1")
KNOWN ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
- Absolutely no bug !
- Bluetooth. The function included with this program doesn't work (apparently because HD2 uses Widcomm bluetooth, unlike its predecessors). To solve this, I simply assign the desired button with the application "ToggleBTh.exe" (credit to Dextrosan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587493). I copied the file to the folder "Program Files" and created a shortcut in the "windows/start menu/programs" to be able to make it appear in the program list.
- Backlight level. To adjust the backlight, you have to access the settings of the program. Click options -> backlight settings (scroll down !). There you can adjust the darkest level you wish (0 = minimum backlight) and the brightest level (10 = 100% = maximum backlight , less if you want to save battery life) and backlight step (2 = 20% is fine with me). Beware, when you assign a button with function backlight level, you have to choose in the subsequent menu if you want "backlight down", "backlight up" or even "backlight level" 0, 2 (= 20%), 4 (= 40%) and so on.
- Manually add Home button. Home button is not listed in the program, so you have to add it manually. Choose "File -> Add button" and follow instructions. Actually, there's a trick... If you press the Home button, it will close the window and go back to your home page. You'll have to go back in the program using the task manager.
- Home and Return button cannot be remapped individual. For some reason, when you manually add Home button, it's called #00ED and when you assign actions, these actions also work with the Return button... Actually, these actions even work BETTER on Return button than Home button. Single press and Long press actions will not work with Home button, but they work with Return button. Weird, huh? Even if you manually add Home button (then called #405C) and assign actions for the button, it won't work at all, and the Return will still execute actions listed with the button #00ED. All in all, it's a minor issue. Just remember that I can't remap single or long press for teh Home Button.
EDIT: Dec, 20 I also use the function "control volume directly" so that the volume buttons control SYSTEM volume directly and not the ring volume. Also, this nice function disable the ugly pop-up volume window that appears and have the annoying tendency to change ring volume first !!! This function is located in the menu "Options -> Other options -> Control volume directly". You can check or uncheck it.
That all folks, hope this little work will be useful for many.
Much help is appreciated to try to solve the Home/Return button issue.

Of course, as long as you find an exe which does that automatically whenever invoked. You can do pretty much anything as long as you can associate it with a specific utility. I use the program with my ipaq 210 and am very pleased with it, with a resistive screen it's even more useful.
Now, if only I wasn't dead-dumb enough to let slip from my hands this leo for 430EU on ebay... who knows how long will I have to wait to find another one at that price.

ok ive can boot the camera app but cant take picture, any ideas
I'm using this program also for a while.
I'm used to use the power/hangup red button to go back to the today screen but can't find a way to get that working.
It takes me a while to figure out the working posibilities but it's useful anyway.
Great post! Thanks for sharing with us.

ok. so we have something special on our leos.
- htc sense.
- green button - send key.
- red button - end key.
- home button. this key is stucked with htc sense.
- back button.
1. green button.
i can do any thing with this key. but i leave long press unchanged beacause my vangrieg_incall_lock_ita had added long_send.lnk that link to phone on my \windows and i don't want to interfere into it. now long press on send key = phone. this is a vital function, right? so let it be.
2. red button.
i can't do any thing, but "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen" can.
so for me end key has single press as normal and long press by "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen". that is more than enough. power off is a vital function also.
3. home button.
as said, this key is stucked with htc sense. so you can not change single press anyway. you can do somethings with double, triple and even long press but firstly it takes you to home screen then do your commands. for long press see next item.
4. back button.
this is exactly "ok key" on aebutton. you even don't need to add it manually. you can do everything with this key except long press. long press works only when you are on a certain program interface. this does not work when you are on htc sence interface. to get this long press work on anything, anywhere and anytime you have to assign the same action you want to do to HOME KEY LONG PRESS. and voilà !!! this works 4u.
Thanks for your appreciation of my thread.
Still, If you are really "hardcore hardware fan" you can use AEBPlus to assign even the double tap and triple tap of the keys
To oainot. About the bluetooth toggle, If find it quicker and simpler, to double tap on one button, turn on my headphones and get going out in the snow. I use it literally everytime If get out of my apartment. Just think: would you prefer to switch the light off your apartment with a long-click (+ click in a menu) or with a simple double-click? Just a matter of taste I guess. The best is to have to choice!
To satoo. Here's my configuration file. I should tell you that my system is in french. I managed to put "english" as language in the program, but you can still get some french word (calculatrice = calculator i think; Explorateur de fichiers = file explorer; ). See attached file.
Merry Christmas!

I am in entire agreement with you.
one key like hold red key ,we can switcher wifi on/off, bt on/off.
So，in an identical manner，
I set one key (ex:hold vol up) to active phoneweaver ,with which i set some usefull profiles :
mute mode: switch vibration mode
day mode: loudly volume
night mode: max or min backlight level as you like
.......
each mode we can define (backlight level,vol lvl,differents rings,wifi on/off,bt on off)
here is phoneweaver 2.0 with XXXX，sorry for my english

i'm afraid it is not possible.
single press of red key may controled by basic input output system, not the operating system (windows mobile), not the htc sense or not any other resident program.
may be this should be that for power on the phone by single press while operating system is still not running.
may be someone could hack the key someway. i dunno. if aebutton had a button assume called "power key", it could be possible to try.

Yes, I noticed that the left softkey cannot be remapped by AEB. You'll have to use the newer BsBTweak which works just fine with the left softkey. Find it here

hi guys
i've flashed my legend with the cm7 nightly build #21
now i'm facing some issues regarding the lockscreen and i hope some of you can help me with this:
1. is there any possibility to remove or switch the haptic effect while unlocking?
2. when i push the power button, the phone is not locked, because when i press it immediately afterwards again, the homescreen appears.
thx
I'm running CM 6.1 so things might be a little different, but I know there is a settings (I believe it's under "CyanogenMod settings") that lets you change the time it takes for the screen to lock after going to sleep or ressing the power button.
You might also find the answer to the haptic problem in there somewhere too.

I presume you have a "pattern unlock" screen and from there you want haptic feedback removed. For that go to Settings - Location & Security and under "Screen unlock" section you have "Use tactile feedback" option. Untick that to have no vibrations when drawing the pattern.

Go to CyanogenMod Settings - Lockscreen and the last section is "Delay and timeout". You have 2 options there "Screen timeout delay" and "Screen turn off delay". Set them both to "Immediately" (by default is something like 3 or 5 seconds) and you're done
Hi guys. It might be my first time to post in this forum.
I've got a little Bluetooth keyboard for my Nexus 7, It has a back button and a home button but doesn't have an app switch button.
I disabled navigation bar for better viewing since I have real buttons.
However I found this:
In Paranoid Android, Long press home button doesn't bring up App Switcher. It works fine in Cyanogen Mod though.
I did some research, and remapped my right shift button to "App Switch" via editing some files in /system/usr/keylayout
But it brings up "recent apps" (like the one in android 2.+) instead of an App Switcher.
Then I found this:

It basically says I have to edit the framework. I'm not sure how to do that. Maybe I'll do some research when I have time.
The things is, I almost never post in forums, I don't have the authority to post this issue in Paranoid Android's thread. Could someone helps me to do that? By the way, I can't set long press back button to kill app in Paranoid Android, It would be great if they could add this feature.
I apologize for my limited English writing ability.
It's not an issue. PA is an AOSP base, and those are not stock behaviors. What you're looking for are CM based features.
Long press back has already been discussed and it is not going to happen. Opening recents and swiping the app to the side is a cleaner method of killing the app.

I made a video so you can understand it better
So ... as you can see pressing the back button close the application or something like that and pressing the home button to leave it will result in a smooth animation when re-entering it
is there a way so i can change that ? i really like the way how application open when i leave them with the home button
I can't watch the video right now, but I will assume you are not talking about long-pressing the back button.
I guess that is just how applications work. Home button let's them run in the background and back button closes them.
The only way you can change it is with xposed or a custom rom.
Edit: Changin the behavior will also take away the ability to use it for what it was intended: to go back.
You can assing it another function or disable it altogether, but either way, you will lose the back function of the button and will have to use the app integrated back buttons.

From another source:
Back Key :
If you press Back Key, onPause(), onStop() and onDestroy() callbacks will called.
Activity will created again by system calls onCreate() callback, then onStart() and onResume() callbacks will be followed.
Home Key :
If you press Home Key, onPause() and onStop() callbacks will called.
Here Activity will restart by system calls onRestart() callback, then onStart() and onResume() callbacks will be followed.

The back key will quit the application while the home key will let it run. That are the main differences. That's why they act differently. If you still want it, I know that CM based roms support changing of the layout.
but how ? or how i can search ... i only found that some layout are in generic.kl but here is just a simple match up, keys with functions idk ..
OR this is writed in the app code ?
