How to assign new buttons?

[ThaiM]

I'd like to be able to hold a button (other than Button 5) and have it execute a command/program. Can it be done?

ie. Hold OK button to launch X program? I've googled with no luck.

Search the forums. There is a thread by Sleuth255 (?) with the title PTT Function Hacked or something similar.

I found that thread. But it's doing what my TyTN does anyways... allows you to hold the button 5 and launch. I need that function for the other buttons as well.... unless I'm missing something.

i use ae button plus for this.

its free on a trial with a popup on phone phone startup, or $7 to unlock.

its FANTASTIC. interface isn't overly intuative to setup, but basicly you can have

1 click, 2 click, 3 clicks and press to hold on *all* the hardware buttons do different things.

its also got a reasonalbe app switcher built in, and way to turn the screen off and lock the keys if you want your media to keep playing when the phone in in a lower power state. *(not sure how much this saves in terms of power, but the key lock is why i use it)

For example,
my internet button (up and right of screen) is now set to
1 click - Load IE,
2 click - Load MusicID (listens to any song being played and then tells you the artist and track)
3 click - Load tomtom (usfull so i can switch between messages/phone calls and tomtom when driving quickly.
press and hold - turn off screen and lock keys for media playback.


Wish it was more popular i think its a fantastic application! you should give it ago.

as an aside note, i think there is a reg hack to do the press and hold on other buttons, but honestly do your self a favour and try
