Default Mapping Hardware Buttons

Anyone found an app that can do this yet? Need to map a task manager...

There are several apps that can do it for you. AEButton Plus is one of them, but there are others as well.

A different approach is this.

And finally, you can search this forum for the way to enable WM standard button setting applet.

Thanks, have you tried AE Button Plus? I did search, and I can start the buttons applet, but none of the other apps seem to be able to use the hardware buttons on HD2...

I don't have HD2, so I didn't test AEB on this device. I used it previously on other WM phones, it should work unless HTC did some sort of a quirky trick with hardware buttons. They did it on HD, and AEB still managed to remap everything except the Home button there.

Aebutton plus works fine with the HD2

and just make a shortcut of the htc taskmanager from windows to quickmenu

Hi

AEB Plus does work on HD2. I had it on HD and have now got a HD2. I have mapped the volume buttons fine. I have not yet mapped any other buttons but will try.

I also loaded "Touch X LEO Power 12 icons actionscreen v 1.1" on the end button which works very well.

Regards, David

The Back button (OK button in AE) works anywhere. The Start button also works, everywhere but in Sense, where it does its default action. Home never seems to be changed. As others have said, you can also do volume etc.

No special steps, but once mapped make sure you try them outside Sense.

Basically AE Button Plus works yea, but unfortunately the BT Toggle function does not work with it.
I have assigned BT on/off toggle to double press green phone button for example.
When I double press, I get the notification "Turning BT on", but nothing happens. BT does not turn on.
Anyone of you guys tried that on the HD2? Really need that :(
