Alright, so I've tried AEButton plus, and dug around here for 2 days and haven't been able to find a solution.
I'd like to remap the "Home" and "Back" hardware buttons on my T-Mo TP2 to Arrow Down (for the Home) and Ok/Select for the Back. Since neither of those functions are an "application" I don't see how that would work.
A friend of mine wrote an app for the ATT Fuze that allows the PTT button to be visible in the standard button mapping area, but I don't know what the scan codes are for the Home and the Back buttons are. Anyone have an idea?
Otherwise, I'd love an application that actually... you know ... worked.
AEBplus can map to key strokes. I have Volume Up mapped to the Up arrow and Volume Down mapped to down arrow.
So I think you just need to:
* Add Button in AEBPlus
* Press the appropraite hardware button
* Select the new hardware button and edit it (I think you hit enter while it is selected).
* Choose the action as a keypress of Up Arrow or whatever you want.
when I try to add the volume buttons as a remap I just get the volume changed... any solution for that?
When I attempt to remap the Home and Back buttons on my T-Mobile TP2, it fails to map them. I've tried everything.
Volume kind of works, but I want those ... for the volume

I'm not totally sure what mean by scan codes, but are these them: http://ae.inc.ru/aebpluscline.php ?
Aebutton Plus no longer maps vol keys w stock 6.5
Someone else in this thread is reporting what I'm seeing -
Before the 6.5 upgrade, Aebutton plus would let me remap the volume keys to do nothing on single or double press, then execute the volume change on the third press. I liked this because I've always found that I tend to turn the volume off inadvertently - and not just on this phone.
Now, it won't do this, and I can't disable the single or double press.
I've tried it with simplemode set in registry (one volume control, vs. ring and system) in either setting.
Does anyone have an idea as to what they've changed? I'd really like to be able to put this back the way it was.
try to use the program on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240. This is the one I am using right now to map my home key into start menu button.
Im having the same issue. I need something to remap my buttons in order to scroll up and down and open task manager. I have Sprint TP2 with the 6.5 update and tried AEB already, any solutions?
When I turn on my phone from standby I am surprised to find that to unlock the phone, ad well as wiping down I can also press the menu key.
Is this normal? It seems to override the whole protection which wiping provides.
Can the menu key option be disabled?
yes it is normal. All Android phones do this as this was the standard on earlier Android phones.
Some people prefer it to swiping. I am one of those people.
I know of no way to disable it, but it has been covered quite a few times in the sapphire and Hero forums. I'd also check in the nexus forums as well.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.
oh i didnt know that, ... so if you put it in your pocket and the menu button got pressed by accident that it would be unlocked, .. hmm ... not very cool

You need to press power button before to wake up the phone, and, after that, press menu button... I think it won't happened so many times...
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought you cannot "accidently" press the Touchscreen of the Desire because it is not responsive to something unorganic?!
exactly.
But as has been said, you would have to press the power button, and then press the menu button.
And anyway, I've had my Hero since August, and that unlocks with two presses of the menu button which is easier to do in a pocket and its never happened to me so far.....
Is there an app/widget to just simply lauch the lock screen?
Aha. Very good point about the organic pointer requirement. That should stop most of the accidents.

the screen receives only organic requests, ... but not the menu button!
if you turn off the display from above and put it in your pocket than this doesnt matter, because its very hard to "accidentally" press the power button in the first place.
but am talking about what if you left the screen, just locked the device and put it in your pocket, ... if you pressed the menu button accidentally than you can keep pressing search, back, menu, home buttons accidentally while in your pocket

How can you lock the screen and not need to hit power to wake it up?

Why on earth would you want to do that?
Because would like the display to time out but without me having to press the button but I also want it to be locked.

Why though?
Don't get me wrong I'm not having a go at you but how hard is it to press an extra button or to just let it timeout.
i also think that it would be great if we could press any harfware key to wake up the device... i think thats a great feature on hd2.

I agree 100%. My hands aren't that big and it can be annoying at times having to stretch my index finger all the way to the top. Would be so much better it it could be done with my thumb (using one of the bottom hard keys).
I'm not moaning, just voicing my opinion.
I love this phone too much for it to be an issue.
Yep, I want it to be like on my Hero.
is there some progress on the situation above?
yes there is

basically you do it like this
enter recovery
adb-nilezon shell mount /system
adb-nilezon pull /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl c:\
edit bravo-keypad.kl to your liking --> loacted in c:\ on your comp
adb-nilezon push c:\bravo-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl
adb-nilezon shell reboot
if you edit bravo-keypad.kl like this (add WAKE_DROPPED on key 139) than when you press menu button you'll wake up your device, you can assign back, home or search key for this... the choice is yours
Code:
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
Hey,
The power button on my TP2 doesn't work anymore (bad contacts) and I'm able to get around this using WinMo with a simple keyboard remapper to move the functionality to another key. Obviously this isn't a HUGE issue, but I don't have a dedicated home button.
Just wondering if there is any way to do it - even if I had to remap one of the keys on my kb to home would be nice.

In Android your power button is actually the end call button, just like on Android devices.
thanks for the reply reefer. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough then.
The end call button does indeed turn the phone on/off, but the power button that turns the screen on and off in WinMO is the home button in Android, and it doesn't work on my phone (due to me dropping it a few times...)
messing around with the (how to enable soft touch keys) mod I found how to remap the hardware buttons to my liking... I was able to remap the home button to search and back, but I've found that whatever happens 1 line of code makes the button's 3 functions go with it... when I made it search pressing it brought up search, long pressing it brought up voice search and double pressing did nothing. I even tried making the menu button into home and all it's functions came with it, double pressing the menu button brought up s voice and long pressing it brought the task manager.
I guess my question is this: since the code tells a button what it's called where are the functions of these names stored? I can change the home key "key 172" to "SEARCH" but I haven't been able to find which file figures out what to do when a button labeled "SEARCH" is pressed, double pressed, or held...
I know s voice knows how to edit this file since it has control over double trapping home. and android system knows how to edit it too since every android "including our phone" asks to select a default action when long pressing a "SEARCH" button
my ultimate goal is reconfiguring a button to bring up Google now (which I love) without undoing the original button function (say making double tap home or long pressing menu bring up Google now). I'm also sure others would benefit from knowing how to do this kind of stuff namely people who want a camera button or a search button
any help would be appreciated

Hi
I have some roms that need to press the ENTER button to calibrate the controls like "Cruis'n USA".
But I can't find anywhere the Enter Button.
I did made some search on internet and they say we can press the F2 button. But i do not have this button on my shield...

Just found it out.
You have to press both Coin and Start on Screen. In that way you will see the mame menu where you can configure a lot of things.
The only problem I do not know how to 'unassign' a button after I have assigned it to something like the Left Trigger on Shield.

Fellow MAME fan, you can also press down on the analog sticks. This click function is what I use for coin and start.
