How to Map a Hardkey for Touch Pro!?!

jackmac66 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-05-2009, 03:05 AM

Hey guys,
I did try to do a search but had no luck with this topic. I installed a program, "second today" which allows me to switch between my today's screen. It is just too much trouble for me to go to program file and open this program.....was wondering if there are any programs out there to remap a key on my TP, as a shortcut, to open a file. Thank you.

You can remap the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen. Here is the info in an old post:

A soft reset at the end is important.

You can also use Settings --> Buttons to reassign a long press of the send button to launch second today.

You could also try "AE button plus". It lets you remap the hard buttons. I set my home button to bring up the start menu, and the back arrow button set to open the Opera browser. Works great.

Which button do you select for Home? I'm checking in AE Button Plus and I don't seen an option for Home. Ideally I'd like to have that go to TF3D or the Start Menu depending on a single or double press. I use AEBP for other buttons but haven't figured out how to remap Home yet.

If you open up AE button, go to file/add button. Click that, and it'll tell you to press whichever button you want to remap. Press it, then you can assign a program/different function to that button.

Thanks, but it's not working for me. I get into the menu to add the button and press home and see the code, but it goes right to TF3D and closes AEBP so I can't actually save the button. Am I missing something?

I wonder if you disabled touchflo for a little bit, and tried ae button again it would work? I'm kinda getting out of my element now, cause i disabled touchflo right away and never used it.
