got it after my xams as birthday gift....sold magician quite a time ago.now running black 4 and the ok button is really irritating me .....plz help
There are a number of threads about remapping the ok button. However, I've not seen any about the press and hold.
AE Button Plus is the best app I know/knew of for remapping. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work I'm afraid. Speak to the author of the app specifically to see if it's a known issue.

try handy switcher v3.0, it works for me
Dear Vijay555,
glad to see you somewhere in hermes forum, about ok button mapping, i know you already give us VJOkButt. your tools is my choice.
is it possible to write a tini app that simulate the click at the top corner x button so it does close running app via HTC-xbutton, and we safe to close everything phone,activesync..? or this is useless?
thanks Vijay
VJOkButt already has a mode to emulate clicking the top right close button I think -
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJOkButt
-justclick
simply click the existing ok button (for compatibility with other task managers)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
VJOkButt has code built in to not close various important apps that would crash the system. But closing things like the phone is possible,
-phclose
will force the phone to close, not minimise, to save extra memory (but will cause minor incompatibility with dialing from contacts - reload with VJTogglePhone or launching cprog.exe)

Can anyone recommend a good tasr switcher/closer that actually works on the PDA2K.
I've tried vBaar (used on XDA2) but will not work in 2003SE.
Magic Buttons - great but screws up when the phone is on.
Any suggestions?

I use Pocket Plus, no problems yet.
wisbar and wisbar advanced are doing great too...
pocket plus seems to make my bluetooth headset to stop working...wisbar advance makes your phone unable to show incoming calls if the phone app is not initialized. I use handy switcher, it's ok.
Try using wisbar advance from www.lakeridgesoftware.com

I use Magic Button and it works ok. I do change it from on to off to get the notifications to work though (but all you have to do it tap/hold the icon).

I use handyswitcher and it is ok. I like to use my device one-handed, however, when I click on close all applications, it resets the phone. Instead I have to go to the phone screen and select close all except active. There is no option to just close the active program. I have mapped handy switcher to one of my hardware keys. If someone has something better where you can map it to a hardware button and close or switch programs let me know.
I use handy switcher and when i chose close all it works fine. No reset.

See you, dudes.
Hi friends,
I recently installed Magikb Lite and chgfingermouse on my i780. Since then, I cannot use any harware keys with the camera. Previously I was able to zoom or take picture using the touchpad, but now only the touchscreen works.No hardware buttons work. To close the camera I need to put the phone on standby (single press on power button) and switch it on again. Then the camera closes. I uninstalled both softwares but still not work.
Is my problem linked with both softwares or it's something else? Do I need to remap the hardware keys?
Help needed guys!
Easiest way to fix this - is to backup all data and make a HARD-RESET.
As per ironeagle instructions:
(Remove Battery|Put back Battery|Press Green Phone button + Red Phone button, Then press Power button| U see Menu | Press space bar to hard reset)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thnx for your reply .
It is an easiest and drastic way to solve the issue...BUT.....
I configured so many applications on my i780 (tomtom, today, etc) that I don't really want to hard reset and loose all my settings. That's why I am desperately looking for an alternate solution.
Then You will need to go through registry and look for values what might be changed by Magikb Lite / Chgfingermouse.
Thnx a lot Spiaatie. Will try this
Oh my God. It's working!!!!!
I installed hookmanager from magikb website (http://www.mobiion.com/downloads.html#hookmgr). Now everything's working fine.
Special thanks to Hong Jia from http://www.mobinauts.com who gave me the hint.
NOTE: THis is for GSM phones only not for CDMA
Hey guys,
I modified this Cab for me and my friend to start android by pressing the PTT button, yea we are lazy but I figure some of you guys might want try it out also .
All it is the RhodiumKbdControl_GSM.CAB with the Keys already mapped Just Double click button and you’re good to go.
I made one for the RHODIUM but since you guys don't have a PTT button i mapped it to the Mute button on the back, just click it twice and your good to go
Also this is desing to work for Reefermattness cab(Path:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Project Android.lnk)
Thanks to tarkim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
for creating this app.
Instrucstions:
Just Double click the button to launch
Added AndroidlaunchMOD.zip File wich contais 1click/2click/LongPress option for the Tilt2 PTT button. Also added 2click/LongPress for TP2, Just unzip and install the one you would like to use.
Note: Did not add a 1click for the Tp2 version because its mapped to the Speaker mute and did not want to overwrite it..
Requirements:
- .NET CF 2.0
Installing:
- Install SdkCerts.cab (if you dont already have it)
-Tilt2PTTAndroid.cab or RhodMuteandroidMap.cab
- Soft reset
Thanks. I'm totally gonna use this!
Just worried about accidentaly pressing it lol.
Nice, good thinking bud. Even if you double click on accident if its linked to my app you still can just close it without launching Haret.

So many people requested the feature of being able to change the uses of the three buttons provided by HTC to us.
We all were disappointed when they decided to remove the menu button.
So i have a workaround which I will show you. If you feel it is a little complicated I have included it in the latest version of SuPrimo Rom. So feel free to use that.
Requirements:
1.) Root
2.) Any root file explorer
Steps:
Go to the root explorer and navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/atmel-touchscreen.kl
Open it as a Text File.
Replace the text in the file with
Code:
key 102 HOMEkey 249 MENUkey 158 BACKkey 217 SEARCHkey 139 APP_SWITCH
Reboot your device and that should be it!
I have made a flashable zip...I have not tested it!
Link: http://uploading.com/files/7ed4c977/shubhamchamariaKEYMOD-flashable.zip/
It is only half functional....Multitask button becomes menu button but you can't use multitask
Recovery shows only single press in key test so it is tough to make it long press home..If anyone knows how to do key test of long press...please tell me!
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED!

Any progress on getting this to work properly/reliably? Home long-press as task switch and "task switch" as menu makes a lot of sense if it can also remove the menu button in older apps.

So, now that the WildChild Sense is 99.9% finished (look for it soon) I promise to give this some attention.
Off the top of my head, it seems trivial to remap the VolUp key to be a global Camera Shutter key (if anyone's desperate for this, I can release it in about 5 mins!) but I have the feeling that we all want the VolUp key to release the shutter only from within the Camera app itself. That will require some fancy footwork. I've yet to see it done for a Sense 2.1 ROM so... no promises, but I will take a look at it shortly.
Thank you, all, for voicing your request.
Enjoy the weekend,

Hi, I can give U a temporary solution.
Download this software
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d7x58xb2orf1n1s/BR0.2.4.1.apk
Install it.
Remap the keys as you like (you can only remap volume up and volume down shown as Media next and media previous in the soft).
U just need to know what state means. 3 states are there, Wake, Wake_dropped & none. For camera button I'd prescribe U should select NONE.
Wake = Means they will work even when screenlock is on
Wake Dropped = Means will work only when screenlock is off
You can alternatively do the same by editing /system/usr/keylayout/marvel-keypad.kl
Same process but in that case u have to do it manually. Just a little more time consuming. And revert back is a click away in that software(check >Menu>Settings). or in the second process delete marvel-keypad.kl and rename marvel-keypad.kl.bak as marvel-keypad.kl!!!

I didn't download the s/w, but if it behaves the way you say, then that won't quite work. For starters, I need to map volume to more than just WAKE or MEDIA (it has to be CAMERA). If your s/w can't do that, then I can just do it by hand (very easy). The problem, as I described earlier, is that it will be a GLOBAL change. Nobody wants that. The goal is to get Vol+Up to Shutter only from within the camera apk.
Second, your description of WAKE vs. WAKE_DROPPED isn't entirely accurate. It has nothing to do with screen on/off. It has to do with whether or not the h/w button function will be passed along to the app after the WAKE call. (WAKE sends the h/w call to the app, but WAKE_DROP does not).
Anyway, gimme another couple of days and I'll start working on this. Sorry about the delay.
Just a little teaser...
I'm able to get the HTC camera app to take a picture with the Volume rocker... but I don't like it.
I must have broken something else in the process because I (sometimes) get visual artefacts on the bottom of the picture (green bars). Also, the layout looks a bit wonky but still functional.
And finally, it's unpredictable when the camera will zoom and when it will actually take a snapshot when the vol keys are pressed. It seems like a long press will zoom and a short press will release the shutter (which is what i wanted) but it doesn't always work that way.
Now here's the real issue. I always thought that a h/w shutter button would be better than tapping the screen. But, after hacking around with it, it turns out that tapping the screen generated less shake for me! Try it yourself. If you hold your phone steady and press the Vol Up button, for me, there is a very slight movement on the camera. But if I'm holding the phone the same way (by all 4 corners) and then use the tip of my index finger to tap the shutter icon, I get practically no motion == clearer shot. (Maybe that's just me!)
In any case, I'm quite happy with the touchscreen shutter (and I'm busy as hell) so I'm not really driven to complete this project. That being said, I will glady spend a few more days on it and then release whatever I have for some other keener, smarter folks to complete.
Thanks dude..
We'll appreciate what ever release you'll give us..
A small motivation..
I was trying to take a pic of me and my gf yesterday..
It just impossible with the touch shutter..
But in the other hand.. Why ruin the view with my ugly face
It'll be fine if you simply disable the volume zoom function. Its digital zoom anyways, so we can always crop the pic later. So you can maybe map volume down to re-focus & volume up to click!

Hi all
Tigger U r the boss and I m just a noob. I hardly know anything about android.
Anyways, here is another temporary solution... Hope U like it or hope U not But i'm using it currently so ill just post that, glad if it help anyone.
Download camera360 and this S/W
The camera is better than stock I think. Use the longpress camera key shortcut as any volume control software (I use hide it pro). And long press search key as the Aneq Equalizer free so that U can switch equalizer when u listening to music. I use vol up as next track and vol down as camera. works pretty well for me. Vol up press after remap is also used to change radio stations.. I m having good fun.:good:
