"AE Button Plus for HTC Himalaya/Andes/Alpine/Magician" extends functionality of hardware keys on HTC Himalaya/Andes/Magician platforms. It allows you

- remap each standard hardware button to 2 or 3 "virtual", simulated via double or triple clicks;

- use volume slider to simulate Up/Down direction keys or create additional "virtual" hardware buttons;

- remap Red and Green phone buttons to 1,2 or 3 hardware buttons each.

As a result you may define up to 15 hardware buttons (system limit)

List of Compatible devices (See HTC Platforms)
- HTC Himalaya/Andes: O2 XDA II, I-Mate PocketPC, T-Mobile MDA II, QTek 2020
- HTC Alpine: O2 XDA2 IIi, I-Mate PDA2 (Not PDA2k), QTek 2020i
- HTC Magician: O2 XDA mini, I-Mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, QTek S100
- There are reports of successful use on E-Ten M500 device

DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLICATION ON THE INCOMPATIBLE DEVICES!!!
- This may hide or incorrectly redefine hardware buttons until hard reset!
- But you may still try to use this utiliy on any PDA with 4 buttons normaly available in Start - Settings - Buttons. Please make full device backup before experiment.

This is great, the only thing I can't work out is how to change the initial settings i.e. how many logical buttons each physical is mapped to, except at install.

Just reinstall app. I put CAB file to my SD and mark as Read-Only. And if need change initial settings, just reinstall app.

Yeah, that's what I've done too, it's more of an minor annoyance than anything. The other things I've noticed is that it puts an invisible icon in the task bar and can't handle the Pocket Plus 3 (Alt-F4) and (Alt-Tab) settings - you can assign them to the extended buttons but they aren't retained because they're not shortcuts and don't get stored in the registry.

Again, these are just minor niggles, it's still damned useful, I'm up to 12 button assignments already, going to be running out soon!

Hmmm, for me all PP3 functions work fine :) IMHO bug is if U set on CAMERA button Enter and APPLICATION action :( For me after this setting CAMERA button not work as enter and not run anby assigned application :( But this is really minor bug for me :) Bigger bug is AEButtons not work with HOLD hardware buttons :( Coz 3x clicking not so easy must have expiriens for using 3x clicking :)

I am using this program for a while. So far I found a problem if I using it w/ PocketBreeze. If I enable "scroll w/ D-pad" on PB, AE Button+ never response to the first button press. I already email the developer but no response so far.

ooops, sorry, posted here by mistake!!!

One question. I don't seem to get an icon on the task bar, just a functional (the menu works) empty space. At first I thought this was intentional but I've seen the icon visible in screen shots - any ideas?

I just purchased this app with the sole intent to remap my volume keys to the very needed scroll up and down that's missing on the Touch Pro2. I remapped volume up to: Single Click=Press Up arrow Key, and volume down to: Single Click=Press down arrow Key.

It isn't working. Can someone provide step by step instructions how to change volumes to scroll? Have emailed the developer, and he has not responded.

Thank you!

Does it do something if you really single click? Holding the button is another thing...
