In fact, I dont think tapping on the screen is a good way to take photo, i would rather use the volume key or ptt key to do it? any one can help? thanks a lot!!!!
I have used the key remap to remap, but i dont know how to assign the key to a tapping on the screen.....................
if you use the rhodiumkeyboardcontroller found in /themes and apps/software worth installing on tp2, alls you have to do is use it to map the camera application to your push to talk button. where it asks you to assign a program, just take it to /windows/start menu/programs/multimedia/camera.ink or whatever path from win/start menu/ progs that leads you to camera.ink depending on how your start menu is arranged. then your ptt button will open your camera application, and pushing it again will take a photo. and you wont have to hold the ptt button like you do the onscreen button to take a pic.

I have searched and read almost every post regarding remapping of ok button.
Can anybody tell me if ok button on front side of hermes near call buttons and softkeys be remapped.
I am aeb buttons but it doesnt have option for it?
any thing else i can try?
I think ae buttons have the option to do what you want...
When you go to the configuration window where you can set the funtion to each button even that the front ok button is not listed there is an option of custom button or something like that, select that option, then pres the button you want (the fron ok) and then asign the function you would like to add...
Sorry I could not be more detailed but I only use this software for very few time because when instaled, the scroll wheel didn't respond...
hope it helps...

As far as I know, nobody has published a way to do this. However, If you havent already, there is a way to hack the PTT button, which I use to change the volume. You can assign any function that you want for buttons 1-5 @ start-->settings-->personal-->buttons. There is also a cab in the hermes section to remap your softkeys. You may want to talk to Sleuth255 (he was the one who hacked the PTT) to see if there is a way to do this for the ok button.

Worked like a charm
100x thanx 2 u
i know this forum rocks
hi guys, i am also looking for something similar to this. i have noticed that when i press the ok button on the front, or on the keyboard that it only minimises the program rather than closing it. now the background behind that is i have HTC X button on LVSW 3.30.0.9 (soon to be 3.30.2.1). and that is set to close the program.
EDIT: i stand corrected. i just googled ae button and noticed it was a program. i shall try that and see how it goes.

I have been looking for something to do this since the Hermes dropped.. I would love to find a way to make a press on OK minimize the app and a hold on it to close the app.. Still nothing?
Edit: I second the edit above...
that one may be possible with a combination of x button and ae button.... i havent tried it and am still trying things with ae button. but it may be possible.
ok. i am using ae button now and have noticed a few things.
one. the memory manager is pretty cool
two. when i go to add the front ok button above the 'end' key, it comes up with button #4075. when i try to remap that as 'close active application' it does nothing. not even minimise it.
three. it works when i remap the internet key to 'close active application' it closes it completely.
four. the same happens when i add and try to remap the ok button on the keyboard to the same thing.
and five. i notice that the button #4075. the ok button on the front, says 'change volume or.... 1. close active application'
which is odd.
the rest of the remapping works well. except for added the ok buttons.
anyone know how to program the hard keys. in settings/buttons the only one that you can assign by default is the send key. i would like to be able to do the other 3 as well.
ALSO...
is it possible to assign the shutter function for the camera to a hard key? it would be nice to use the volume keys as shutter function when using the camera.
thanx!
Yes it would be very nice to have a hardware button for the shutter... makes it hard to do a self portrait shot
seriously... search... this has been asked 1083498734597 times asking for a key remapper. there's one in the themes, apps, & software subforum that lets you remap any key.
what? no direct link?? we wanna be spoonfed. ha! i got it. thanx. i knew there was a keyboard remap but didnt know if it would remap other keys not on the qwerty.
michelangeloz3, its in themes, apps, & software like our friend said. its on the first page. if you install it and need help, i got it to do what i wanted after a bit of play. i got both volume up and down to operate shutter. end key press and hold now opens camera (for when im not running touchflo)
Just wondering if anyone else has done this because it's pretty sweet, in my opinion. Using Keyboard Config you can remap the PTT (or any key) to both open the camera software and take the picture by mapping it to open "/Windows/camera.exe"
Anyone else do this? Did anyone perhaps find a nice simple way to flip the screen of a particular application around so the camera button would be on the top?
I am having that too with Tarkim keyboard controll..Its really handy..but I can't click pics with that. Can you? Let me know if I can be of any help.

Yes, it works just fine with taking pictures on my AT&T Tilt2 with Tarkim's Rhodium controller. Simply have it set to "Run Program" and have the program set to "/Windows/camera.exe"
This will open the camera app when you press it and when you're in the camera app it takes a picture. It's entirely a convenience by HTC that trying to open the app when it's already open causes it to take a picture. This doesn't work for you?
i used to have it set to camera, but seeing as how i rarely use the camera, i have it set to "AltTab"
So when i have more than one app open, hit the ptt button and a box will pop up with all the apps open, then i can either tap on the one i want to switch to, or press the ptt button to go to the next app.
I had remapped the PTT on my old Fuze to the camera function. Big problem you'll find here is that you'll take a lot of pocket pics. On my tilt 2 I mapped it to voice dial.
got mine mapped to taskmanager, send recieve all, bluetooth toggle, and long press camera using rhodium kbcontroller. how do u find "alttab" switch i use it all the time on my pc but i didnt know it was possible on the phone? mind showing me the target?
Is there any way to map a a hardware key (or better yet, a long-key press) to camera action? I miss my the camera button the most from my wizard.
Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons.
I have my PTT button mapped to my camera but I'm using the Tilt2. I don't think the TP2 has one of those though =/
Thanks for the tip.
I can use buttons to load the camera application, but i still need to hit the screen to take a picture. Is the functionality different on your Tilt2? Ideally i would like to have a hardware button for the camera action.
On the tilt2 I can press the same hardware button that launches the camera to take a picture. Not sure about the functionality difference though
Try looking for the "Keyboard Config" app. I forget where I got it, but it lets you remap any buttons to anything.
It may be a restriction of the rom (deepshining). Thanks for confirming it should work

i just set the favorite "star" button to be the shutter, in Settings->Button
The Enter key actually acts as the shutter button in the Camera application.
Use the Rhodium Keyboard Controller to map any key you want to this key.

yeah, dont know what I was thinking yesterday. Meant to say I mapped the *camera* to the star key, and shutter with the Enter key
Has anyone tried remapping the Camera Key to take Screenshots, outside Camera app ofcourse.
Could you show me how, I don't wanna use an app for it, just edit some system files. I've tried ButtonRemapper but it didn't work.
Thank you!
Edit: I would also like to know how to switch menu key and long press home key
Were you able to find a solution?
I wanted to do something similiar. I wanted to remap the camera key to lockscreen. Simliar feature to the Galaxy models where they have a dedicated convenience key on the right side to lock the deivce
