Anyway to toggle Volume ON <-> Vibrate ? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Currently, the way I change my PPC profile is by pressing the side volume button, and then tapping on vibrate. That will cause the phone to be in silent mode. I believe many of us do the same?
The problem is, I find it a hassle to press on the button and then tap. It's just too many steps. Is there any app than when tapped on, toggles the volume ON/Vibrate?
Or anyone with vb.net experience can help me on creating such an app? thanks!

I would be interested in this as well

AE Button 2.6.6 - 2.2.09 - Experiences

there is a new version of AE Button! The Button map application! Any experiences? Is there an improvement for the HD? Let´s test
Anyone tried?
I wish to know too =)
Is it free?
I have this registered.
The unregistered version is actually almost fully functioning and well worth trying.
I choose to register since I found the application useful and it seemed fair to pay the developer.
THANKS, for the new version alert. But, I suspect there is little new as the history details for this version are:
02.02.2009(v2.6.6):
Fixes:
Backlight works on HP 612c now

Updated Traditional Chinese resources (thanks to Chow Yuh)
AE Button
I find this software very useful. It completely eliminates the need of locking/unlocking software for me.
I just set double or triple tap to answer and hang up keys. This will prevent accidental key press when taking HD out of pocket. To answer call, simple double/triple tap on answer key or simply slide on screen to answer (built-in screen lock will be unlocked during incoming call).
Set press and hold volume up to toggle wireless and down to toggle bluetooth.
This one single software solved all my screen locking + lack of buttons issues!! Believe me i tried touch lock pro, sensor lock, slide to unlock and what ever you can think of (I didnt like because I think its not really practical for me to be rolling phone 180 degrees or shaking back n fourth in meetings to answer a call.)...I know you guys may argue it has light sensors to unlock, but I'll be in meetings and presentations which might be low light conditions. I do not want to set very small for polling interval either. If you have tried all else, no harm in trying this.
if you guys face the same problem like me, this tiny software might be the right solution for you.
The best combination for me:
Gyrator2 (fine tuned based on my apps) + Lumos + AE Button Plus + Touch Response (for onscreen keypress only).
The only flaw that i could find to complain is that they should really change the icon...it looks like bread/potato/or whatever...
Headset Buttons
Hi there,
is this program able to capture the button press events from a headset wired/wireless?
What I'd like to achieve is, to switch to the next song in Mediaplayer as long there is no incoming or active call.
Is that possible?
Thx in Advance

Hi, I believe not. I understand the press events from headsets and bluetooth AVRCP are actually trapped in the hardware by HTC and by-pass the operating system and are sent directly to TF3D music or WMP.
If you check on the AEB plus site: http://ae.inc.ru/ it says the app is not for specific applications.
(Also: the AEB+ icon does look like a loaf of bread !!)
Will it allow me to remap the Home button on the Touch HD?

Nope. All the others but not the home button.
I have:
1. volume up. 1 press = arrow up, 2 press = volume up, long press = plamp (flash light)
2. volume down. 1 press = arrow down, 2 press = volume down, long press = resco notes recorder (auto)
3. OK / back. 2 press = rotate screen 90 deg
I keep the long press on phone end and long press on phone start handled by the system.
Dave, thanks a lot and you have some very smart short cuts
I may very well adopt them too.

Thanks, but I'm needing a suggestion for replacing the flash light. Never used this now "for real" so I shall find something else for the long volume up press ...
I have almost identical settings but use the long up as a bluetooth toggle. This is a fantastic program and really eliminates one of the few shortcomings of this phone.

Question guys,
How do I map the call button to long press (like the smallest long press ever) to get the Start menu?
Thanks
Sorry, I don't understand what you want. Is "call button" the "end call" or "start call" ?
Dave, call button is the left-most button that answers/makes a call. If it were colored, it would have been green.
I want to short press it to start menu (heres the tricky part, I have Quick Menu as my start menu).
Basically I miss the Start button from my TyTn II (Kaiser) and the scroll on the top. I have managed to set the volume buttons as scroll up/down and want the start call button to imitate the start menu button when I long press it. But I want to long press it for as little time as possible. So say 1 second as opposed to 3 seconds.
I see. So, two points:
1. Get quick menu
2. Use a "short" long press
I asked because the green/start left button is assignable in the standard settings - button to the <start menu> but I don't know how to do this to quick menu. I guess if you make a short cut to quick menu and drop this somewhere in the Programs folder in windows (or a sub-folder) then the standard settings - button should find it OK.
But, for option 2 I have no idea. Instead of the "short" long press how about using AEB+ with a double press ?
Dave, I see from the options that you can set the delay. I guess this from the "Key Press timeout" menu where you can select units of time starting with 200ms to 900ms. I am guessing that 200ms of time needed for a long press would be the shortest longpress possible.
Any how, how to assign the green button to start menu? It doesnt work for me. I have it as 2 presses or 3 presses or long press for start menu but nothing happens.
one problem it works to rotate(volume up which i assigned) but as soon as i make a call or recieve a call it no longer works untill i soft reset???? im i missing a setting or something? i have duttys rom, please help! : ) thanks!

AE button plus - question

Hi,
I have the following problem with AE Button plus with my Touch HD.
I had the problem with closing the phone during i was taking it out of my pocket.
I installed AE Button plus and assigned only to the Red button a function. All is OK, when the phone is ringing the Red button is not working, but the problem is, that when i pick up, it is not working again and i have to end the call with the touch screen button and it is very annoying.Is it possible this Red button function to work only up to the moment i have answered and after that to have normal button functionallity?
PS. Sorry for my bad English!
AE Button Plus - please help
Please, help me with the above issue!
Thanks in advance!
why is it annoying to use the touch screen to end the call?
I would suggest to leave alone the single click of red button but instead map a double click function you want to the red button.
I've had this problem previously. I love AEBPlus and think it is probably the best app on the phone. You need to uncheck the option under 'other options' for 'drop on red key'. Paradoxically this should not be checked. When checked I cannot drop on red key but when unchecked I can end call using this hardway end key. Let me know how you get on!
The AE Button Plus didn't seem to work on my Blackstone (HD). It would work after being reset but after a while, the mapping has no effect anymore. I want to map the volume up/down button to "Up/Down Arrow" and the Long Press of the Volume Up button to run the S2U2 application. Anyone has similar issues?
I have problems with AEButton too. I assign "volume up" to turn display on/off at one click. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it brings up the voume control. Annoying.

That is exactly my problem. I should not have paid for the software if I knew that it works intermittently.
Do you have some taskbar installed? Try to remove.

[Request] buttons lock

if your ever playing any games and you accidently hit home or any other button then you know what im talking about. since the buttons are touch sensitive you may get some accidental clicks. i wish there was a way you could lock the bottom row of buttons, not sure if its possible though. maybe by combining two of the physical buttons (such as volume up and down) we could lock the bottom row until we need to use those keys again and then we could unlock in a similar fashion. is there anyway possible someone could develop this?
+1 for this. I like the idea of it being toggled with volume buttons, or maybe long pressing the power button and adding it to that menu. It would have to be included in a rom though, you cant give that power to just any app. or you'll never be able to close it without rebooting.
every time i watch a video a hit the search button by mistake. i really wish someone would do this. also it would be better if you hold volume up and power buttons.
Ya I actually just had it happen again with gvba. Note: it really sucks if you accidently hit the back button. Lock please!

[Q] Hold Home button to use Power/Volume functions?

Hello,
I'm using the International GT-N7100 Note II. It's rooted.
I find myself frequently touching the volume rocker or the Power button while using the phone, either when type-tapping or playing games, which gets annoying.
Have there been any mods or workarounds to, say, hold the Home button to access the functions of the volume and power buttons? At least, I can make sure I don't accidentally press those buttons when I do not intend to, and I also can make sure that I'm actually accessing those said functions when I want to, by pressing the Home button.
I prefer a mod or to edit the system files, if possible, rather than install an app for it, like the Volume Locker app.
Thank you for any information.
hey, if im not mistake,you could set 'hold menu button' activites by using 'simplistic control' donation version'
Thank you. But is there a method to directly edit a settings file just to add this behaviour? (i.e. hold the menu button to access the power button and volume rocker, and leave these untouched while in camera mode?) Thanks.

Disable vibrate mode when pressing volume up and power

Hi,
Is it possible to disable the transition to vibrate mode when pressing Volume Up and Power ?
thanks
bump, it's annoying to change this every time you take a screenshot
Bump
I would like to know this too, does anyone know how to disable this, because I keep missing calls when the phone goes silent after pressing per and volume up whilst trying to take screenshots, which can easily happen when trying to press volume down and power.
