Anyone found an app that can do this yet? Need to map a task manager...
There are several apps that can do it for you. AEButton Plus is one of them, but there are others as well.
A different approach is this.
And finally, you can search this forum for the way to enable WM standard button setting applet.
Thanks, have you tried AE Button Plus? I did search, and I can start the buttons applet, but none of the other apps seem to be able to use the hardware buttons on HD2...
I don't have HD2, so I didn't test AEB on this device. I used it previously on other WM phones, it should work unless HTC did some sort of a quirky trick with hardware buttons. They did it on HD, and AEB still managed to remap everything except the Home button there.

Hi!
I've also tried aebutton plus but with now luck
What buttons did succeed in remaping using AEB? Could you please describe your steps?
Thanks !
Hi
AEB Plus does work on HD2. I had it on HD and have now got a HD2. I have mapped the volume buttons fine. I have not yet mapped any other buttons but will try.
I also loaded "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen v 1.1" on the end button which works very well.
Regards, David
The Back button (OK button in AE) works anywhere. The Start button also works, everywhere but in Sense, where it does its default action. Home never seems to be changed. As others have said, you can also do volume etc.
No special steps, but once mapped make sure you try them outside Sense.

The back key (OK key) Close active application
and the windows key does also work
AE button plus V.2.6.6.1
I want to remap the hardware buttons on my HD2. I have looked in the other thread for the links of these buttons, that should work when you paste them to the Windows folder.
However, no luck so far.
Does anyone have a list? I know the Long_Send.lnk, but are there any others?
Thanks a million,
Bruce
I tried all methods and couldn't get it to work
I even tried SPB Pocket Plus, and it seemed like it was working for once or twice but then nada - I can't get the back button to map.
Anyone managed to get it working on HD2 in any method?
Read through this thread, AE Button Plus works.
Pocketshield is supporting keys remapping in beta: http://jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?3,9299
This great for me because each time I need less programs running on background and less apps installed
I want to map the windows or OK/back key using the "Windows/*.lnk" strategy and not add extra software as I got the send key to work nicely that way. What are the shortcuts for windows key and OK/back key?
Bump, ding, nudge

I don't think that is possible. On the HD2 the only buttons that can be hooked by .lnk shortcuts are the SEND and long END (this one in some ROMs only I'm afraid)
Hi,
I've searched everywhere I could hoping to find an answer to this question which I believe is very basic.
Is it possible to remap the hardware buttons on my Vogue running Android (Myn Donut). I would particularly like the "back" button to be the big button in D-pad (like the iphone).
Thanks a lot folks!

download Atools that has an option to change the button mapping to whatever you please
Thanks, I downloaded atools and the concept looks great
But i was hoping I wouldn't have to reflash everthing and reinstall everything just to swap 2 buttons... am I wrong? Is there no program that can customize a config file somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

nope, when you flash a new kernel you don't have to reinstall your system, but their isnt a program that can customize it
Use atools and apply update created by the keychanger.
aight, I'll definitely try that then!
any reason why the DPAD middle button (and DPAD up/down for that matter) are not available for customization in Atools?
Thanks!
i can add dpad in next release for which device?
I have a HTC Touch CDMA (vogue), do you need any other info?
I dont know why, but customization seems possible for every button on the Touch right now except for:
-DPAD-middle (big button)
-dpad-up
-dpad-down
-volume up
-volume down
if it's not too complex, maybe add support for "long press" for all buttons too?
Thanks a lot man, much appreciated!
Ray
Long press isn't supported if it is not present in kernel. I'm sorry i will add other button soon.
awesome!
Looking forward to it!
Ok so I have this SW related problem (ROM on my sig), where home button not always works. If i hold power button until the power screen appears, i can close it and then home buton works OK for anoter lets say 15mins only, so its quite annoying.
How can map return home action for lets say holding down search key? The problem is neither about button itself (works perfect n other ROMS) nor launcher (when killing foreground app phone returns to the homescreen)
I know i can do it from screen with button savior but it's by far not as practical as using capactive buttons and it's not what I'am looking for.
Other than that the ROM is very close to perfect, so changing it is not an option

I think, must check, that Jellybean lets you do that?
Well, even if it does, I'am running MIUI on ICS.
CM10 and codefireX nightlies (and JellyTime too maybe, I haven't tried) have that working. There's a CM feature in settings called 'Hardware keys' where you can assign different functions to all keys for short press and long press. Though bliind's MIUI is based on CM, it doesn't have the option.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I see...
is there any way of getting similiar sw on other roms?
btw i'am running the official 2.9.7 MIUI based on ICS straight from miui.com, not bliind's custom build.
I remember there was some app for that.
I think it's called button remapper, and it does just that. It's in a beta version, but I used it with success. It is ROOT, but you already have that.
If you can't find it then I'd be willing to pull the .apk from a backup and give it to you.

Well, this app was capable of mapping short press, but it turned out mapping different keys didn't solve the problem. I guess without official update there is not much can be done... Thanks anyway.
can not be! clerical error
Hi all,
I have order the N4 today and I'm starting to think about it.
There is a way by a Mod or something else, to remove the softkey from the screen to use the full 4.7" screen ?
My idea is to made a mod that permit for exemple by pressing the Vol + and Vol - at the same time, to remove the softkey from the screen.
What do you think about it ?
As I'm not a dev, is there anyone that can have a look on it ?
Regards.
Haven't seen this for stock roms, but AOKP has this feature. You can adjust the size of the navbar and hide it completely. Additionally, you can add the softkeys to the power options (hold power and you can go home, back, etc.). How I set mine up is using NovaLauncher. If I swipe up on the home screen with 2 fingers, it will hide/unhide the navbar.
You can also use the PAROM with PIE, so the nav keys will be shown after a gesture, or if you don't want to flash a ROM, just use LMT.

you can install a laucher which lets you put custom functions on that button.
I use Nova Launcher and it has this ability.
Yes, but that works only on the home screen.
Most custom roms have the ability to change the menu button function.
I have mine set to long-press: recents.
