Removing the Search button in the soft-button bar - Gen8 General

Is this possible?

Possible but you have to do it yourself cuz I think nobody will deal with it cuz its quite pointless. You can do it easily in OpenAOS's Bull.

Hello,
You can use that : Buttons for r/w Archos
Just replace "search" by "none" in button4. Reboot and it's done.
Hope it will be helpful...

cmccarter, please use a Thread title that is descriptive of what you want to ask. Part of the search facility on the Forum works by looking at thread titles. Nobody is going to search for "Question"!! They might search for titles that include phone button or on/off or re-assign button commands etc.

How to remap right softkey to "Standby" or Sleep!

Hi all,
I do not know if that is a silly question or not :$ but I wanted to change the manila home right soft key to sleep phone ("Standby")..Have PsShut but dont like everytime to open the program to able to put phone into sleep mode..also have Advanced Config program but do not know if it is possible to map in advanced config app the right soft key to sleep..
Btw, I have original 1.93 ROM.
Thanks million.
I have mapped power button to shutdown app I can choose action seft reset turn off device or just turn off display but I dont understand your question because single click power button sleep your device...youre NOOB man!!!
Well, I have managed to remap the right softkey on home screen to togle between ring and vibrate.
I am using little prog Vibra (Switch) that is mapped to the key.
Just two registry settings:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeRSKPath="Program Files\Vibra (Switch)\Vibra (Switch).exe"
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeRSKText="whatever you want displayed on the soft key"
I got the inspiration for this setting from the "Second Today" Tweak.

lol..your great dude. Thanks for the precious answer. Your "the" man.
2nd: What makes you that upset that I want to use a soft key to sleep my device better than the power button?? Its easier to sleep the device via a soft key than a hw one.
Dont pass by again . Thanks.

Change the time for Long Key Press (Power)

Hi!
I am wondering if there's a way to change the time until the poweroff.exe is run when pressing and holding the power-button. Haven't been able to find anything about this on google, only how to re-assign the utility that is executed in the end.
Anyone have any ideas? Hardcoded?
Good question. I asked 1 1/2 years ago if anyone knew how to disable that yes/no popup when you press the power button. I don't want it, I've never accidentally hit the power button for several seconds yet.
Interesting that you can change the entire shutdown program that is executed - that would solve my problem if I could find a good replacement. Do you have any good links on that?
Hi!
After reading a bit more on the subject I dont think that reassigning the exec'd app applies to Athenas... You can switch the file into some other "shutdown-app" though by switching \windows\poweroffwarning.exe.
Thats what I know so far. Google XDA for "long press change power" (without quotes) and you'll find a few posts on the matter.
Still no clue if its even possible to lower the time for the long keypress... :-(

yes i've just read your post and while i'm searching for the answer at moment i can tell you this much button assignments and time out periods are usually a function of the registry. so what you both were looking for is going to be a registry key. now whether it's a modify an existing key or create a key that it recognises is yet to be seen so either start researching the registry or keep eye's open as i'm still searching...
New: found this thread which i think is a better option then trying to modify the power buttons defualt timeout's and suggests that really if you have a diffrent power manager for shutting down etc.etc. that's better then use their binary

Hmm... Not really what I was looking for. I dont want to replace the PowerOffWarning.exe, I just want to shorten the time for it to start. I just mailed a friend of mine, works at MS. Will get back with the answer.

You might want to have a look at PowBut.

Haven't tried it myself though.
Thanks, will test it!

remap the BACK button ???

Hi all!
Suddenly today I've noticed something...I never use the BACK hardware key on my diamond. The reason is that this button doesn't seem to make anything different than the HOME button. (of course, I may be wrong! If so, please someone point that difference.) So, the obvious idea came to me: why don't we try to remap this button.
I know that there are apps that do just that (AEBPlus for example) but if you tried these programs you know they use up to 20% of RAM (I'm talking about AEBPlus again). So this is not the best option.
Rather than these 3rd party software, I was thinking to remap the button before the RAM is cocked by means of hard-coding. Sadly for me I do not possess this kind of knowledge so I ask kindly if someone could do this for the community (if it can be done).
I thought that this button could have a similar function as the ALT-TAB but to tell you the truth anything would be better than the original function.
Waiting for your replays...
Or maybe more easier with a registry hack. I am also interested in remapping the back button!
great minds think alike, but not always on the same schedule.
i was just looking into remapping my buttons with something other than AEBplus. i have an HD2, so the built-iin button remapper only gives me control over a long press of the send button; i'm looking into remapping the back button into a short-press "alt+tab" solution and a long-press to open my task manager.
then i searched and found this: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1770782&postcount=1
it's basically noting how you can use shortcut files, renamed and placed in your Windows folder, that remap your buttons. just create a shortcut file and rename it with "long" or "short" button depress followed by an underscore and the documented name of the button, with the standard shortcut ".lnk" filetype, e.g. Long_Send.lnk or Short_Home.lnk. then go into the link properties and set the target to what app you want the button action to open. once built, move the shortcut file to the Windows folder and soft reset the device. et voila.
the only problem is the Back button, specifically. all the other buttons have a single, remappable function when depressed. unfortunately, the Back button is programmed to be "situationally aware" and can perform one of 3 functions based on the situation it's used in. there's an MSDN blog entry here that explains not only the uniqueness of the back button, but how it functions: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms912123.aspx
anyways, gonna look into it some more this morning to see how i can remap the sucker with as little resources as possible, if it can be done at all, or how to do it if someone else already has, and in the case of the latter, i'll report back and bump the thread that has the answers.

[Q] Powerbutton lock (endkey to power)

Hi,
I've searched for many hours to find the solution. But I couldn't found it.
I want to change my lock button from End key to power Button. Ik know I could use Slide To Unlock, but I prefer the HTC lock more.
Can someone tell me how to change this? So from End key to Power button just like S2U2?
thank you!
maybe you should search before opening a new thread. There is another thread with the exact same subject right below yours....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611021
i allready read the tread before creating this. But what i'm asking for is, is there a way to 'replace' the end key for the power button (eg egistry edit or something).
