How to assign a shortcut to EndKey, SendKey, Power Button, PTT Button!!

[hma4]

Hello :)

Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :

Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnk (Power button)

So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want ;)

I attached one of my favorite short cuts ;) unzip the file then put it in to your windows folder. then press Send Key for about 2 to 3 second to run the shortcut. It will bring up the wifi networks.

Have fun.

This is just great! Hats off! Now Endkey makes some sense to me... :)

[smittyofdhs]

This has to be the best trick found since I got my Tilt. THANK YOU!!!

Mine is setup as follows:

Long Send - Comm Manager
Long End - Invoke S2U2
Short PTT - PocketPlus4 Alt+Tab Switcher
Long PTT - Voice Command

I did the PTT button mappings with PP4's button enhancement instead of the lnk files mentioned above. But the other 2, which until now, have not been useable for long presses, so THANK YOU again.

While poking around in the keyboard driver, did you see a way to assign a shortcut to sliding the keyboard out? I think a HTC Action-type app for the Kaiser is not a bad idea.

ok, I feel really dense, how do you assign the keys? I don't see them listed under buttons after copying the lnk file to my \windows directory. Can this only be done when cooking a ROM? What am I missing? (I did a soft reset after the copy)

they won't show up there. Just try the button after you copy the lnk file to windows directory.

What I did was find the shortcuts that I want to use for the send and end button. Copy those shortcuts and rename them to the above names. Then move the shortcut into windows directory. it worked right away, no reboot needed.

[Edvard_Greig]

Ah got it! Thanks!

[galenmd]

OMG this is so awsome! Thank you!!

I already have the PTT button reprogrammed using the registry hack listed elsewhere. I think I will leave those as is and use this method after the next hard reset.

[gullum]

Dam this is realy good findings :) you just keep amazing me hma4 now I have to but the endkey back into my rom :)

Great Catch! :)

Would this also work with a touch dual?


Thanks

[smuook]

Thanks for this... this is nice. ;)

[smittyofdhs]

Thanks

it can't hurt to try, just try the Send Long shortcut, it works immediately without reboot.

How on earth do you find the shortcut codes to put in the file?

[hma4]

How on earth do you find the shortcut codes to put in the file?

It's very simple ! :) just find a short cut from your windows folder , say AudioManager.lnk for example .. then copy it to your PC .. open a notepad , drag and drop the file to notepad , then edit the address inside the file and save it (pick one of those names i mentioned on the first post) then copy it to your windows folder and you are done ! :)

those have to be done thru registry or by use of an app like Pocket Plus 4. I know there are probably some free ones out there, but PP4 is what I use.

[Jim_R]

Thank you!!!

Any chance a Long_End.lnk can be devised that opens Wireless Manager?

:D

use file explorer, locate \windows\start menu\programs\. Then find the Comm Manager.lnk, copy it & rename it to whatever long press you want, then move the renamed file to \windows.

Sorry at first timewhen i attached forum did not like attaching .mscr files. new zip file is now attached.

For some odd reason I didn't find a Comm Manager.lnk there, but I did find it in \Windows, so I'm all set! :cool: Thanks much!

that's right, the Tilt by default didn't ahve that shortcut. I added to mine because I hated usign the wireless manager link on the connection bubble. Yeah, the one in the windows directory is what I used to....

perfect!

I thought Long_Send.lnk would be useful, but unfortunately it overrides the default behavior while in a phone call, namely that of toggling speakerphone on or off, which is a feature I use often.

Long and Short PTT press are already defined in XDA-Live ROM, and are re-definable in Settings>Buttons. Long_End is defined as lock + GPRS end, and can be changed in Registry to be GPRS end only.

If Long and Short Power button presses were redefined, how would the standard functions of that button be replaced?

Yet, anyway, nice to have this info. Thanks for finding it!

if i'm wrong, plz say so, but does this mean i can make Long End.lnk behave like Short_Power.lnk. So Long_End.lnk will power off and Power on device?

If so, who's up for it.

From Tilt XDA-Live v1.1 thread: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346855&page=2&highlight=XDA-Live+v1.1) In Kyphur's XDA-Live v1.1 and v1.2, Long Press Red End Key is set up to be lock + terminate GPRS, and you can change it to terminate GPRS only as follows:

Change the value of "HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\LongEndFunction" from One to Zero.

__________________

However, trying Alex's MM Tilt ROM now, and this registry setting doesn't work there - so I think we must ask Kyphur what registry setting he cooked in to XDA-Live that enabled the dual function in the first place.

Edit 2008-01-08:

I was able to assign just "Lock" to Long_End.lnk by creating a shortcut in QuickMenu for "Lock", putting that shortcut into \Windows and renaming it to Long_End.lnk. And since I have GPRS set via KaiserTweak to shut down after 10 minutes of inactivity, I think I've got my needs covered. I liked the clean "Two birds with one stone" effect that Kyphur enabled, but this works pretty well for me.

Will this do it for you?

[debauch]

Anyone know if there is a short cut (.lnk file) to turn bluetooth on and off? I searched the windows directory but didn't find anything that made sense to me.

I want to assign bluetooth on/off to the PTT key so I don't have to open the Communication Manager...one less step.

Thanks.

[redgarter437]

Thanks for this find! It's very easy and convenient to assign button commands this way!

I do have a question, though... I'm using the default AT&T Tilt ROM, and I've assigned Short_PTT.lnk to the Wireless Manager. It works, but there's a problem: not only does the Wireless Manager load, but AT&T's PTT application also loads!

Is there a way to disable the AT&T PTT app (without doing the registry editing, etc.)? I'm avoiding tampering with the registry, but I can if I have to.

Thanks!

[Wilhelm]

I tried to assign it to A2DP toggle but it says it can't run because it's not signed.

[Beeble]

Cheers for this!

Now i can have my ptt button start a new txt - damn M$ for removing the "new" from messaging!
(oh, for those who want to do the same, just make a shortcut to** "tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" ** no *'s tho!)

Does anybody know a way to assign "UMTS on/of" to the buttons? I don't use it very often, but if i do, I would need an easy way of turning it on without goint through menus.

On our phones if the keyboard is opened you can toggle wifi with the Function key and then the right arrow key. Can this also be mapped to a key like Long Send, and if so can someone please help with solution. Thanks in advance.

Love this tip. I now have my long press send key linking to comm manager :D One question though. I'm using Duttys WM6.1. Short press end key (Red) will first disconnect GPRS, second short press links to today. Does anyone know how I can get the first short press to link to today? My GPRS auto disconnects after 2 mins anyway. Having to sometimes press the end key twice to get to today is a bit annoying :mad:

[sirsycho]

well I've searched all over this forum and others and can't find an answer. This is a periodic thing I check but as yet have yet to find an answer.

I would like to map a hardware key to the in-call Mute function. Not to be confused with the silent profile or the silence ringer function. I am looking to Mute the microphone. I saw a post here that looked like someone got it to work with AE Button Plus but I couldn't replicate his success.

Anyone know of a way/tool to map the in-call Mute to a hardware button?

Thanks!!!

I agree that this is a great find but it's not quite working for me. I created a Short_PTT link to Voice Recorder. It does launch Voice Recorder but it is also still attempting to authorize PTT. Do I need a registry hack to eliminate this? If so, could someone post the instructions?

I am quite certain that a registry edit is required. In order to remap the PTT button, I have read that others have found it necessary and have personally found it required to delete:

HKLM/Services/PTT

Hope this helps.

[scottcates]

this may seem like a simple request... but I'd like to change the settings of the power button (on right side of ATT Tilt) to map on the PTT button instead. I've mapped to lots of other things, fixed the registry so teh PTT button is active in the button list for assignments, but i cannot determine what is the actual command/choice/setting to allow for me to click on the PTT button and "wake" the phone, versus using the power button (which i find very inconventient to use)...


I know this may seem simple, but I've really been working on this for over a day, now, and I cannot seem to figure out what the actual commands are that allow the power button to wake the phone

(and before you respond, NO, it's NOT screen toggle, screen on, OR screen off)

any help/ideas?

wouldnt you think adding an upgrade to allow you to remapp the windows, ei explore,messaging, and ok buttons would be good int the motoscript app

[Alkhal]

For those not getting how to do this... What I did was use Resco Explorer (Can use any File Explorer) went to the Windows folder then to Start Menu from there went to Programs. Searched for the .Ink of the app I wanted (IM+.Ink). Copied it then pasted it in the Start Menu folder. From there I renamed the .ink I just pasted, to whichever button I wanted it assigned to (Short_PTT.Ink). Finally copied it to my Windows folder and deleted the .ink I placed in the Start Menu folder. Voila....

[JZ SmartMort]

Announcing JZ SmartMort v1.4!

Now you can use JZ SmartMort to map advanced commands on your PTT & long-PTT buttons of your Kaiser/Tilt!

Have a look at the screenshots of JZ SmartMort, available HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382043) or at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jzsmartmort). Below are the prominent features that the software offers.

Copy / Paste
Clipboard / URL history
Multi-browser (Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, NetFront, Skyfire, Internet Explorer)
Make any installed browser system-level, where it opens links from anywhere. Ability to have a default browser (with a special timeout in case you want to open a link with a non-default browser).
Hardware buttons - supports Pocket PCs & SmartPhones for advanced hardware button mapping.
Opera Mini - shortcut on the Start Menu, different paste & URL handling methods to accommodate different phones.
JBed - create Start Menu shortcuts for any JBed app, run JBed App directly using JZ SmartMort, troubleshoot your JBed installation.
Ability to open synced Mobile Favorites with any browser, process killing and many other interesting features.
Includes general tweaks and hacks which will keep growing

Revisions:
v1.4 *** 2008-07-07

- Created help files.

- Browser: Skyfire fully compatible now, new scan/detection with fail-over paths (if browsers references don't exist in the usual locations like the registry). If default browser timeout is set to zero, the JZ Browser prompt will be bypassed entirely.

- Opera Mini: full-screen, kill JBed option, multiple URL & pasting options.

- Lots of new options for button mapping. All known registry and link file button hacks now integrated to allow virtually any command to be called up. Also provides ability to create a CUSTOM link file from scratch.

- Changed menus to include menu-returns for easy navigation and better user friendliness. Added letters to Action menu as qwerty keyboard shortcuts.

- Phone-specific menu under JZ Settings which expands button mapping for BlackJack II (Samsung i617) CV/MediaNet buttons, as well as, AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) PTT & Long-PTT buttons. More will be added.

- Creation of Start Menu shortcuts & opening of JBed applications w/o needing to open JBed first.

- 3 different methods under JZ Settings > JZ Misc. Options for opening Favorites. Save a Favorite from the JZ Browser script when you pop a link.

- Incorporated VitoCopyPaste with a timeout to return your directional pad action button back to normal.

- Various speed & optimization considerations incorporated.

- Function to deal with MortScript losing focus (e.g. when Home is pressed while Mort choice menu is running).

I've mapped to lots of other things, fixed the registry so teh PTT button is active in the button list for assignments, but i cannot determine what is the actual command/choice/setting to allow for me to click on the PTT button and "wake" the phone, versus using the power button (which i find very inconventient to use)...


I know this may seem simple, but I've really been working on this for over a day, now, and I cannot seem to figure out what the actual commands are that allow the power button to wake the phone

(and before you respond, NO, it's NOT screen toggle, screen on, OR screen off)

any help/ideas?

Is it possible to customize the right and left soft keys on the home screen?
If so, how???

[rose4you]

I am getting an error (Target file name error)
I created a lnk file from my computer Long_End.LNK and copied to storage card. Inside the file I added "\Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe" When I press end key for more that 3 seconds I am getting target error. Do i have to use any cab file?

[rose4you]

This has to be the best trick found since I got my Tilt. THANK YOU!!!

Mine is setup as follows:

Long Send - Comm Manager
Long End - Invoke S2U2
Short PTT - PocketPlus4 Alt+Tab Switcher
Long PTT - Voice Command

I did the PTT button mappings with PP4's button enhancement instead of the lnk files mentioned above. But the other 2, which until now, have not been useable for long presses, so THANK YOU again.

Can you attach the lnk files? Do we have to install any cab file?

[tuem]

gotta try this...

[whistler4ever]

Can you attach the lnk files? Do we have to install any cab file?

just use total commander and you can create the lnk files!

A problem which can be resolved using this.
I access the internet on my notebook PC using the Internet Sharing connected via a USB.
To preserve battery life:
1. I have set the device to switch off after 10 seconds(limit it between a few seconds to max 5min), the power off button is not that well positioned and is hard for a manual press each time)
2. I have checked the option: To Not charge my battery when USB is connected so that i dont end up using battery recharge cycles, this essentially implies that even the USB is connected its running on batteries.

After the time i have set in 1, elapses the ph automatically switches of, disconnecting the Internet Sharing. To do that i again manually have to uncheck the option to not to "switch off" after X seconds.

Once i am done with my Internet Sharing(may be afew hours), i have to manually re-enable the option to switch off after X seconds.

Can i program my Long_Press_PTT key Or add an option on my Long_Press_End_Key to Enable/Disable the "Switch Off Phone after X seconds". This will be really helpful.

Hi, did anyone find a way to assign shortcuts to the other hard keys (Windows key, IE key, messaging, etc)? I searched this thread and others and didn't find a way..
I can go into Settings/System/Buttons, but then I can only choose installed programs..

What I really want is to make my Messaging key go directly to "New SMS" (right now I have to click SMS/MMS, then New, then SMS). I already have a .lnk file that will do that when clicked, but I want to assign this file to the messaging key.

On most HTC phones, there is a way of having LNK files under the \Windows directory. An example is \Windows\short_camera.lnk which would be executed if you quickly press the camera button.

On PPCs, there is native button functionality like you're doing above but you noticed that you can only point it to installed programs and not even be allowed to provide params like (iexplore.exe "yahoo.com")...

Anyway, both of those ways are available in my software and allow you to use advanced level commands to map buttons to. Check my signature for a link... Thanks! JZ

[septlc]

hi there.. a short question..

is it possible to assign on the power button of omnia sgh-i900 when we press it for short time to execute S2U2, instead of just turning the screen in black ?

[B73C]

Can someone please confirm that this does not work on all ROMs?

I have an Artemis (HTC P3300) and am using T.I.R.v8A WWE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438961).

Thanks.

These are most-likely registry entries... the best way to answer your own question is to set the checkmark, then take a registry dump/export using PHM RegEdit or CERegEdit. Then unset the checkmark, take another reg-dump and compare the two files with WinDiff.exe or something like that... once you find it, just write a MortScript to do what you want, but that's beyond the scope of my answer.

Hi
sorry for the stupid question, but i haven't understood
how may i create a new shortcut
like
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press) or
Short_Power.lnk (Power button)
I searched into my Tytn2 and i didn't find them.
Do i need IDA Pro ?
May u help me please ?
Thx

[Beeble]

Please forgive me if i seem a little short or unhelpful Alfyk - its been a long day!

To create a shortcut, use a file manager (on device) like total commander (search for it, i belive its freeware, but may not be) or even create in windows (PC) - start a text file (.txt) and type in it the location of the target, then save and rename the shortcut <shortcut_name>.lnk (ie long_power.lnk).

Dont take offence, but if you re-read this thread slowly - seriously, read every post, in order, from #1 - you will probably have a very good understanding of what you need to do.

If not - post again, explain what you would like to acheive - and very importantly - what you have tried to do to acheive this (prob best to write it down as you go!).

If you say (for example) i want XYZ, i've read this thread, googled the site, seen the wiki & posts by members A, B & the great guide by C & D - but they dont let me do XYZ, only WXY, can anyone help. - you will 99% get a great reply!


Hope it helps!

[strikeone]

thanks for this great post hma4.

[brandonhall517]

ya i have read every single post and i am still clueless on how to do this. i downloaded total commander, and i am able to locate the .lnk files that i want to assign short cuts to, however i am totally lost once it comes to the next step. i dont now how to copy the .lnk file and transfer to my pc or how to change anything or do anything lol help!!

[brandonhall517]

nevermind, im a dumbass. sorry. i had to re read every post again to truly understand, guess i was overthinking it

I'm not sure on a tilt but have a look at the first post, doesn't it say "short_power.lnk" --- isn't that the answer you're looking for?

Oh, I am sorry if my post was not very clear, but here is what I want (and may be some other Tilt users too)

I used Palm Treo Series for many years, starting from Treo 150 and then migrating through whole Treo series, Treo 270/600/650/680 and then Centro. One thing which was *very* convenient on those devices was screen ON/OFF by pressing RED button. Power button on Tilt is most inconviniently located on right upper side, preventing single handed operation (perhaps intentionally intended to punish users??? ;))

Can we replicate this behaviour on Tilt? That is to have screen on/off by pressing Red button?

I am searching for this solution since many days on Xda as well as other sites, but till now I have drawn blank.

I am also aware of the fact that this may be difficult if not impossible, because it involves waking up the device from sleep, but only an expert having deeper knowledge of windows mobile can tell.

[jmdesai]

I could get a partial solution. It is possible to wake up the device by pressing any of the hardware keys:

Start/Settings/System/Key Lock/Do not lock Buttons

The remaining part is: How to switch off the screen by pressing RED button (long or short press).

After messing around for a little I was able to reprogram the PTT button to lock my device; however I already have my end key programmed to do this. What I would like is for the PTT button to allow me to turn on and off (or just off) my data connection (NOT WIFI). I dont know if I looked past it, or what, but I cannot seem to find the right ".lnk"

Thanks for the help all!

Again, AE Button Plus. Assign any key to anything you want

Unless I am missing something, the list does not contain anything that will turn off the data connection. I saw one for wifi, bluetooth and dial-up, but none for DATA.

Anyone else?

Launch Button Plus>select Button 6>select Single press>scroll down to #43 " Close DialUp connections " > Tap Ok your done. WiFi ?....Bluetooth ?.......DialUp ?..........what other data connections do you have ?

[big3]

while I appreciate the help Denco7; I guess I wasnt clear, and looking back I really wasn't. The program AEButtons, or w.e. its called does not work. I have it set just like you said, and it does nothing. If I set it to something else, it still does nothing. Under my user settings under the personal option, button inputs, I have the PTT button listed as none; therefore any other program that see's this should be able to do something with out conflict. Can anyone shed some light on this?

[mimidudu]

I wish someone would help me create a link with EndKey + Long Press.

EndKey is in \ windows
Slut2Shutdown is in \ Program Files \ Slut2Shutdown

I am newbie on this issue. LinkCreator I use to generate a shortcut.

Since already many thanks.
