Hello all. Haven't visited this thread in a while, but thought I would try to respond to a few of the questions that I know the answer to. If I didn't address your question, its probably something I don't know the answer to. Check out the XDA forums as they have all kinds of info on remapping keys and various utilities.

I beta tested a program called magikblite a while back (LINK) when I had a WM Treo. It worked on my old 6800 too, but I lost interest in it. Anyways, it has a function to remap keys, but I don't remember much more than that as its been a while. I believe I ran it with AEB without any major issues. You might check it out. I thought I read something over at XDA once about a key remapping app too, but you would have to search for that.

The Outlook email is like the "Gmail" option I listed. It's the name of your email account on the phone. I have an exchange server account and my email link is tmail.exe -service "ActiveSync"
I googled and found another example and this one is for Windows Live email.
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "Windows Live" -open "inbox"

Yes, AEB will allow you to map another button to either the left or right soft button. Download it and try it out. Unless they have changed something, the software will continue to run even if you choose not to register it. I think its 2 minor features that aren't available until you register.

Then I tried it on the Green button (call) and didnt work either. I'm holding the button down for like 2 good seconds, I even enabled long keypress mode but nothing is working. im using the latest KK Rom.
What am i doing wrong?

Some keys can't be remapped correctly as there is a driver on the phone overriding it. The long press on the send and end buttons is an example as those 2 functions are handled out of the control panel. You might try the latest version of AEB and see if they have changed anything, but I don't think it will work. The only solution I could think of would be to cook a ROM without the long press functions/drivers for those 2 buttons.
