Hi Everyone,
I find I'm constantly switching between programs, would it be possible to write a bit of code to 'alt-tab' using hardware buttons rather than the 'X' at the top right hand corner of the screen?
My concept is: tap both volume buttons, bringing up a alt tab dialogue: then up/down again to toggle between, and in 1 second, the program switches.
If volume buttons can't be used, try both the Backspace and Hangup keys - The Home and Dial keys already open the Programs tab. (multi touch surface)
Any more development ideas?

Try this one!
Zipped file password is 123
-Copy AltTab.exe to your storage card (or device)..
-Create a shortcut to Programs
-Goto Settings , click Buttons..
-Assign any available hardware button, use it..
Hey guys,
is there a way to reassign the hardkeys home and back?
I also have an item "Buttons" in the settings but there is only one key defined: "Key 1 (Hold), Voicedial settings".
However, I can't find this button, where is it?
It's the first button i.e phone pickup, hold it and it will give you the voice dial
Key 1 is the dial key (far left).
You can reassign the back key with AE Button Plus. I'm not sure that you can remap home.
use AE Button Plus to reassign the keys, words great on my touch hd. I read somewhere that Home button is not supported due to different driver implemented by HTC
Thanks for your replies.
I'm aware of AE Button Plus but the interesting thing is the reassignment of the home key.
I wanna keep the back key as it is and assign an ok/close task to the home key because the end call button actually does the same thing as the home button namely go back to the today screen when you have a running application in foreground.
In AEB+ I have the following:
Button 1 (hold)
Windows Key
Enter/Action
Volume Up
Volume Down
Green Phone Button
Red Phone Button
Left Softkey
Right Softkey
Up Arrow
Down Arrow
Left Arrow
Right Arrow
I can access the volume up and down keys but which key is the back key?
I assume the green and red phone button is pickup and hangup key respectively?
Is there a way to access the power key at the top?

The back key is "Enter/Action".
It seems that the home key as well as the power key cannot be reassigned.
Back and home key can be reassigned on a window by window basis in the registry. Not particularly useful, but better than nothing.

What exactly needs to be done in the registry to reassign the home key?
Even if I have to enter a new registry key for any program window I might use it is worth the effort (at least for me).

I just want to update:
the back key is not the "Enter/Action" key. i have tried to edit this button and it didn't remap to the Back key.
If you go to File -> Add Button, and tap the Back key, it will recognize the key as button #405C. I have remapped it to "Close Active Application" and it worked.
i don't think u can reassign the Home key as AE Button Plus cannot access the Home key.
I was also unable to change the Home key in AEBplus.
Concerning the back key assignment with AEBplus, I was trying to assign something to the long press but unable to get it working. No problem for single press and double press.
Anyone has better luck?

So how do we go about doing that vijay555?
Power Key
Here's the modified power key from Diamond but it can be used on HD.
When Power key on long-pressed, it will display the menu for choice. Tested.

just tested on Aeplus 2.6.6.1, the Back key = the Ok key, it can be remapped.
I have it set to:
Single press="Ok/Close"
Double press = S2U2
Long press=close active app
EDIT: Long press doesn't work... might try another method.
don't know if this works, but it is worth a try:
if you copy a shortcut to \Windows and name it "Short_Power.lnk" you can intercept the short power key press. at least that worked for me on my diamond.
you could try s.th. like "Short_Home.lnk" but that would intercept the "other home key" (which manages the cursor's position like end, up down, left, right, etc).
the magic would be to find the correct name of the key.
longpress back key (405C)
I know this is an old thread, but I haven't found yet a solution.
I'd like to be able to add longpress back key (405C) to the key menu on the windows config.
I've found the registry key that HTC uses to provide longpress send key, but I copied with no luck.
Anyone knows how to do it? vijay555 has said it's possible but never indicated how...
how can I replace with different short cut in the very bottom of the screen where phone key, application key.
press application, then press the menu key (cant remember what it should be called, but the button left of the home key), then tap edit. drag and drop your apps, you can also remove apps from the bar if you dont need 4 shortcuts.
Thanks for the help
I am currently using an HTC Evo that has CM10 that allows button remapping. I am using the "tile" or rather the far right button next to the "home" button as my menu button and I love it since every program has the menu button in a different place.
Is there a way to remap the press of the far right button to menu, and then have it so when it's held it performs its normal "tile" function? Thank you.
Anyone know about remapping the 3 buttons on the bottom?
Each of the programs I have used on the S4, I cannot get to work on my S5. It says I must press"Menu" ( see attached file) in order to enter to the "Settings" but where is this key on the new S5 when it is not located in the program itself??
Long press the recent apps button (left hand button, to the left of the Home button).
