OK BUtton?

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.

Alt Tab + AltF4

Attached zip folder with two files:
1. Alt Tab
2. Alt F4
- Copy the files to your windows folder
- Make a shortcut for each file to the programs folder
- Assign a button to each program
For example I assigned button no.2 (IE) to Alt Tab and button no.5 voice dial to Alt F4
This two small programs work very well
Alt F4 closes programs (Comm. manager too)
Alt Tab switches between open applications (including phone and ActiveSync)
Enjoy

Hi,
this sounds interessting and it seems to save one or two "cklicks" once in a while But please excuse my noob question: how do I create a shortcut to my programs folder??
Thanks in before, pronor
Edit: Very noob indeed, shame on me... Tatal Commander dit it for me.

Hi edward-riko,
just want to let you know your small apps are excellent, especially the AltF4 is a real "must have" - I wonder why only few are downloading them.
pronor

why few dnld.....
for me I like my IE and Mess buttons. I like you alt tab and alt f4 but don't want to give up any buttons. I need more buttons I guess.....
I may make a cab for this zip for you all though. then the shortcuts would be made automatically.
When I get to the hotel maybe I get bored and make a cab.

Do you mean \windows\"Start Menu"\programs or just \windows\programs
Here is the CAB it places the shortcuts to the \windows\"Start Menu"\programs . Just use settings..buttons and choose which buttons to use.

I have the same problem - not enough buttons - I use IE for AltF4 and didn´t map Alt Tab to any button, cos I use my mess button for Vijay´s Flashlight.
Does anyone know if there is a way to double map buttons? Like button 5 has to functions by using "press and hold" ?

Dear Pronor
you can make the comm manager button double use in order to go from ring to vibrate and visa versa from vibrate to ring
you need to install the attached cab and then power off the device (not soft reset but power off) after you power on and push and hold the comm manager button it will put your device to vibrate , another push and hold back to ring
hope this helps you

Dear edward-rico,
sometimes after I posted something here I become aware of something I forgot before like this time forgot about the CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.cab I´ve installed on my hermes - which exactly does what I was asking for
I guess I will have to learn how to make own cabs, cos if it´s possible with the commButton it should be possible with any button, if one just knows how to do it.
BTW.., since I´m exercising the hardware buttons of my device - is there a big difference between AltF4 and the OK Button on the very bottom right? I think I was never aware of that one before.

i don't know of any other buttons (except comm manager and button no.5) that you can make double use but if you fined something new about another button let me know
PS
didn't understand your question about the AltF4

Forget it - I just tested the OK button with the commManager, which it closes but was not aware that it doesn´t stop a process like your AltF4 does.

with AEButton you can map your Buttons:
"# distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and "long" keypresses)."

Wow, Wow & Wow
Thanks a zillion times, simple and effective.

My thoughts exactly as I was watching all the iPhone craze unfold...

Lock Device?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Lock Device button back somewhere on the Home screen? TF3D seems to block it.
I can't use the powerbutton to lock the device cause it also seems 'suspend' running programs like CorePlayer, HTC FM Radio and TomTom 7.

Do a long Press on the End Call button

Yay! Thanks alot!
Case of RTFM I guess

I don't care for the long press. It's far more cumbersome than an actual shortcut. Any cabs out there to give us an actual icon/shortcut to put on the Programs tab of Sense? Like in the Energy ROM's? Surely he can't be the ONLY person to have access to such! I NEEDS IT!

use softkeymanger to change a softkey on your phone. You are using diamond mode in the software.

Unless of course you remap that button. On my device I have it set to shut off the 3G data connection. But I have mapped the OK button to lock the phone.

That won't work because there is no shortcut to point the software to. That's kinda the point of my post: Is there a cab which will make a freakin' icon for Lock Device?

I don't know if you want to pay some money, but SPB Plus will create shortcuts that lock the phone. Of course, it also allows you to remap the buttons... but it isn't freeware.

Yes there is search for a cab called "Lock Device" if you can't find it PM me i'll email it to you. Its pretty cool because you can set it to automatically lock and it also includes a shortcut that you can assign to any button.

here is the cab. I take no credit for it.

Yay!!
Thanks, my friend! Hideous icons!! HAHA. But, it gets the job done and I can always make a prettier icon.
Thanks again!

[Q] switch back and menu buttons

Hi there guys, I'd like to know if there's any way to switch the back and menu buttons on the arc??
and I don't mean physically but logically, as in making the back button work as if it were the menu...
Thanks

Just curious, but why?

It's not really for me, a friend of mine has one and doesn't like the button sequence... She's used to the way that it was on her Xperia X10...

That's fair enough. Was just curious, as out of all the button layouts I've seen on phones, the "Back, Home, Menu" layout is the only one that makes sense (to me).
"Back" buttons in apps always point to the left, and are near the left side of the screen, so it makes sense to put the "Back" button on the left.
The "Menu" button acts like the right-mouse button in desktop OSes, bringing up context menus, so it makes sense to put the "Menu" button on the right.
Which just leaves the middle for the "Home" button.
Maybe if you explain it like that to her, it'll "click" and she won't need them moved.

i had same issue, when i switched from x10 to arc s, but probably after 2 weeks i got used to it, and now if i take any x10 in my hands that looks weird to me

So, you have NO solution, just an annoying opinion, and in fact, you're telling her she's stupid. MMMMMkay. I'm sure you didn't intend to be like that, but that's how you come across. Tragic.

Remap the S3 hardware buttons?

Main thing is I want to make the left hardware button (defaults to menu) to be the BACK button. I hold the phone in my left hand and find it difficult to hit the back button one-handed. Having it on the left (which also makes more logical sense as its a back button and all) would make it perfect
Im running CM10 and I have remapped the menu button to be multitask however I dont see any option concerning the back button. Is there a mod I can apply to make this work?
Thanks all

Since you're running CM10, why don't you ask this question in the specific ROM thread? I don't know the answer to your specific question but with Task's AOKP ROM, I added a nav bar at the bottom of the screen (soft buttons) that allow me to configure the bar to whatever functions I want (to a certain extent).

U can get the zip and go to the keylayout folder in system and manually change it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

My apologies but didnt know there was a CM forum. Or do you mean the CM thread under Android Dev forum? Ill post in there if thats what you mean. Regarding the keys I didnt want to add the soft keys (similar to nexus products) to my screen if I could avoid as it will take screen real estate however would consider if this was the only option
Also howtomen, can you be more specific on which zip
Thanks

So I believe I figured this out. Had to go into /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl
Replacing
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
With:
key 139 BACK
key 158 MENU
After reboot it seems to work.
