Modify End Key Application?

[briggs81]

I'd like to be able to get the End Key application "Lock" button to use S2U2.exe instead of the native lock application, is this possible?

I know you can edit reg settings for the ActionScreen, but I don't know how similar these two apps are and if you can do the same to the EndKey app, any ideas?

[briggs81]

I guess it's not possible then :\

I tried looking through the reg but edidnt see anything obvious i could change.

There is HTC End Key. Learn how that works and then you'll see how you can use S2U2 as the long end key press.

I am using the HTC "Quick List" end key, not sure how to "learn" how that works though. I don't see settings for it anywhere, unless I am missing something. Also, i wanted to use the actual "lock device" option in the end key quick list, not the end key it self, to lock it. Just don't know if i can change that via the reg ors omething, to point it at s2u2 instead of the htc locking app.

I too would like to do what Briggs wants. I have looked around the registry for something similar to HTCactionkey but to no avail

Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322.

Simply assign a shortcut for s2u2.exe (copy the one from /Windows/Start Menu/Progrmas/S2U2), name it Long_End.lnk and save it in the /Windows directory. Works for me.

That is not the point. They want endkey, but they want endkey list to use the S2U2 instead of MS Lock.

It's possible I believe. Start with an endkey cab & take a look at the files extracted with MSCEINF. The you can figure out the path & edit the dll w/ a resource editor or it may be an inf or xml.

Otherwise, maybe I can take a look, but it won't be any time soon unless the noobies stop doing idiotic things.

Sorry, so they don't want to press and hold the end key to activate S2U2, and not the native MS Device Lock? Because that's exactly what my post does, I'm doing so on my phone right now. If not then I am missing the point.

Yes, you are missing the point. They want to be able to use the HTC EndKey application that gives you numerous options when the end key is held, not just launch a single application.

Within HTC E.K. you can turn off data, select device sound as vibrate, lock the device, etc...

The OP would like to have all of this functionality, but would like to only change the device lock interaction to use S2U2 instead of MS Lock Device.

Much how you can use AdvancedConfig to change the CommManager, he'd like to change a single part of the existing HTC EndKey app.

I had read the post before and knew it could be done, but I didn't understand it.

It's really simple...

You copy a .lnk from your start menu (or wherever) to your windows directory and rename it one of these buttons:

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.lnl (Power button)

Long send works great for my sms program.

I was merely providing a solution to replace the Device Lock's End Key shortcut with S2U2. I see your point: the End Key application allows a lot more functionality. I'd be interested in seeing such a development.

LOL, man I give up on the ESL answers.

Instead of trying to hack the HTC End key application or re-write it like Schaps did for Long_Press_Power_Key, just take the HTC Action screen and make your modifications.

Plenty of people have done it already. Search for the HTC Action screen thread and you'll see what I mean.

*edit* Heh, I noticed you were already in that thread :D Anywhoo, HTC Action screen is much easier to modify. :D
