Default Disable volume button and enable audio note taking instead?

Is it possible to disable the volume button and enable it instead to start/stop audio note taking?

Thanks

Default greatest invention

This is the greatest thing I've been told. Go get a pda, and make notes while your driving etc..

And then they go and remove the function. And replace it with a volume button that doesn't even work properly!!

Default Try this...

I dont't know if it will work but maybe you could try this little button mapping tool:

Give us an update if it worked!

No it doesn't. They seem to have removed the mapping id for the volume button. You used to be able to map it through control pannel in really old versions.

Anyone know what it used to be?

Default Workaround

Hi,

AFAIK it's not possible to use the volume button for other functions, but you'd be able to use another button for this.
I like to have the most common things within some klicks, so I used the calendar-button for audio-recording (you can switch to the calendar by clicking your appointments on the today-screen anyways).

Settings -> Buttons: Set Button 1 to Recording (not sure if the translation is correct, I'm using the german XDA)

Default Thanks

Thanks for the workaround, yes it works fine, even if I was expecting a start/stop function rather than a push and hold. But now I'm using it I prefer this method.

Mame can remap the volume button so it must be possible.
