Question about the hardware buttons

[atzakas]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering... is it possible to change the hardware buttons permanently? I mean, if I do a soft reset, the button are mapped back to their original settings. Do I have to modify the registry and how?

I would prefer a solution that does not require software if possible.

Thx !!

hahahaha, it's all software. Even the OS!

Maybe I wasn't clear...
I mean "I prefer a solution that does not require additional software". Is there a setting in the OS (maybe a registry hack) to change the buttons mapping?

hi atzakas,

after softreset buttons should not be mapped back, they should be as you mapped them in Settings.

They are mapped back if you do hard-reset, but that is understandible, you can't hack it.

you can also check this app with 40 additional commands for hardware buttons:

there you can map to buttons things like: switch programs (Alt-Tab), backlight loop, new task, new appointment, etc

Regards,
Victor

Thanks for the reply, but I wouldn't have asked if it was so simple.

I change the button settings, then do a soft reset and the settings are back to the original settings.

I guess I'll have to live with that :(
