"I found genius button pretty pointless. May I set it to Screen Rotation On/Off function like iPhone? Thanks! I have already tried ButtonRemapper and Screen Rotation Widget, too bad the BR cannot remap the hard button to an app. "
Okay, I figured this out. By using LaunchKey + Buttonremapper + Autorotation I get to use long press Genius Button to control the screen rotation on/off!

It's a long shot... But I remembered back when this phone first came out, before we got permaroot, there was a thread about re-mapping the genius button to Google search. In there this was one of the posts.

I switched the two commands in the key layout file.
key 217 FUNC_4
key 183 SEARCH
Not sure if assigning FUNC_4 to 217 was necessary, cause it popped up a shortcut list when I long pressed it before I made that change.
After that, I got an app from the market called Button Shortcut. That allowed me to assign Genius to the long press.
Voila! Short press is search button and long press is Genius.

Not sure if this app will do the trick, but it sounded like it was along the right path.

Hey man, that app doesn't let me assignment the button to an app. Unless you know how.

And also, Button shortcut is no longer in the market place.
I found a solution!
I'm glad you figured it out! Sorry that that app was bunk though.

Hey. When i go to Settings->Buttons it has a layout of all the buttons (1-5). For Button 4, voice record, has a second option.. Button 4 (Hold). Is there a way to put the "Hold" option on other buttons?
Thanks,

one word,,,,,,,yes
another - Google
look for hbutton
also look for mortbuttons for a slightly different type, which gives you sub menus of apps for each button you press
thanks for the leads. i downloaded the "mortbuttons" app, but i found the interface confusing. In light of this, i tried finding "hbutton," and haven't had any luck; do you have a link for this app? thanks again.

btw it was the third result when i googled 'hbutton'

haha. thanks for the heads up.
Noting that neither AEBPlus or DoubleLauncher seem able to access the OK and Win buttons, are there any other methods to assign an action to double or other states of these buttons? For example, it would be great if I could assign "close/kill" to a double OK click, or launch Resco Explorer with a double Win button click. Right now, only the Browser and Comm Manager buttons seem to be assignable, and press/hold for the Browser seems fixed to VueFlo. With AEBPlus, press/hold for the Comm Manager button shows up separately but can be assigned. I got really used to quick launch on my Wizard. I am finding iLauncher to be an OK sub in some measure, given that lots of icons can show on the VGA screen, but miss a quick double-tap to launch a frequently-used program...
yes same for me, if somebody have a way to map these keys ...

Back to topic... anyone have an idea??
I think it can be done, bit I've never had an Athena to test it on. Will give it a go one day. Will have to get a rom dump and see how things have changed on the newer hardware.
Have you tried all the usual suspects, ie AE Button Plus?

No luck with AE Button Plus...
I haven't tried the Win-button, but I've mapped the Ok button to ViJayOKButt (much better ) using AEButton Plus.

How were you able to do that? I don't see that button.
The Win-button can be displayed as an option (via Add Buttons menu). However, the new assignments don't seem to work.
The new assignment works. I select File -> Add Button, and click the OK-button. The code "4075" shows up, and I click the "Add Button" button p).
From my experience you can map the 'OK' button but mapping on this hardware key seems to be limited and no mapping to the 'Windows' key.
IRC the developers of AEbutton informed me that MS have reserved those buttons strictly for O/S use and that AE hadn't found a way around it yet...that was over a year ago, but it seems they have made no real progress in this area except for a little with the 'OK' button.
I believe Vijay is right though...it can be done...just takes someone really dedicated to finding the solution.
Bear in mind though that most PPC's have more buttons than the Athena...hence the reason why AE haven't 'possibly' done their best to resolve this, or maybe it causes to many problems..who knows?
I've done it before on other devices, some time back, but will have to investigate Athena at some point. Can anyone point me at a freely available rom file for it? I've never even seen the hardware..

I tried this, and "OK" did not show as an option. But one of the other buttons I added ended up with code 4075, and this now works. There is also an option for "Win" button but that doesn't work at all.
i have both of mine binded using ae button plus
what you do is instead of trying to select the button you hit add button and push the button you would like to bind

Hi Vijay.
Fellow member Antivirus has some good internal photos of the hardware and I think some other good info on the Ameo try this link. Antivirus.
lol, thanks mackaby007, but I don't need to see inside the device itself, just its rom. Although I would need to test on the device itself.
Anyway, just theoretical for now, need to see a rom.

Does anyone know how to disable hardware buttons on an Jade?
Is sometimes accidentally press the volume up of down keys at the side of the device.
Since I never use them really, I would like to disable them.
I did search the forums, but with no result.
you can use a program called CSDevCtrl to lock the buttons. search the forum for the program.

Great, thank for the replies.
I'm gonna give AE Button Plus a try.
Update: Works like a charm
Curious as to whether anyone has attempted to remap one of the 4 buttons on the Shift as an alternate to the power button on the top of the phone.
Personally I can live w/o the "search" button, and if it's remapped to act as a second power on/on toggle, that'd.....be.....awesome.
I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. You're right.
Thanks!
Now if someone could get it to turn on after you did a double tap on the volume up button or something. That would be bad-ass.

I haven't tried it out yet though.

I know what you mean, like some sort of 'profile' based key mappings.

Downloaded and re-mapped the Volume Down button to work as an alternate Power button (since i just use toggle widgets and settings for volume anyway), and remapped Power button to open Camera. Great app!
Hello everyone.
Last time my touchscreen stopped working. I figured out that every time i use 'end call key' my touch screen is not responding.
Question : Is it possible to switch key fundions? I mean... for example i want to make 'home' key my 'end call key' and vice versa. And if it is possible then how i can do it?
Check out Button Savior. I don't know about remapping hardware keys but this can give you software controls to get around it. There are also a tonne of screen lock widgets that could work, and some ROMs even have it built into quick settings on the notification drawer or the softkeys on ICS+ ROMs.

There used to be an app called button remapper on the play store but I can't find it now!!
Well anyway you can change the button mappings by editing the kepad layout file in /system/usr/keylayout/ folder.
Their will be a few their so you will have to figure out which one to edit for your rom.
Mine is htcleo_keypad.kl.
You will need a root explorer to do this, just open with a text editor!
Make sure to write down the mappings before starting then you can swap them about.
I am not sure but I think the power button isn't changeble but you can assign power to another key.
Ah, I was wondering if I had just gone crazy because I thought I remembered an app by that name but I couldn't find it.
