I guess the only way to get buttons remapped now is to map GREEN and RED phone keys.

I will try to do some testing with that.

First attempt - they seem to accept my remapping so far..

So.. Green or Red could be mapped to somewhere away from HOME - and then it is possible to map the BACK BUTTON to something. (seems to work so far)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] B0Besh:
Thanks rage_q3,

Works like a charm on my Diamond. I just mapped Long_Power.lnk to a psshutxp.

When I hold a power button psshutxp app will fire up. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dinfinity:
I've been trying to remap my Back (keycode: 0x405C --> 16476) and Home (keycode: 0x00ED --> 237) buttons as well and besides the remappings not working in Manila, mapping the Back button to OK/Close with AEB resulted in double OK presses every time I used the button, which is obviously not what I want.

I've been scouring the registry and I haven't done any fiddling with trying out different settings yet, but there's a set of registry key folders (on my Touch Pro):

HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ChangeBackVKeyCode

This one contains a reference to Opera (Opera_MainWndClass, DWORD 8 == Backspace) and one to Youtube (HTCYOUTUBE, DWORD 27 == Escape from the top of my head).

It's obviously possible to create an extensive list of window classes for which the keycode could be remapped, but it would be easier if wildcards of some kind would be supported. Alternatively, the application that looks at this registry entry could be hacked, but I'm not too sure about how easy that would be :-)

HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ChangeHomeByPostMessage

This one contains one key: Manila (DWORD = 102037). This is clearly responsible for sending a message with value 102037 when the window "Manila" is active (which effectively makes it return to the home tab of Manila).

If I achieve any results, I'll edit this post.

_______Edit______

Done some fiddling:

Unsurprisingly, the registry keys are read by keypad.dll. It does not seem to support any other buttons and this version is specific to the Raphael, so it seems from this line in the dll:

"c:\wm612_19965\platform\raphael\drivers\keybd\device\raphael_evt\util.cpp"

I'm not sure whether the Diamond keypad.dll contains similar references to the mentioned registry keys (anyone check this?)

Some other interesting registry keys (I haven't fiddled with these yet) I found:

SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip

SOFTWARE\HTC\My5\CustomizedKey

Anyway, based on the window class, the back key can be successfully remapped. I remapped it, specifically for ActiveSync (damn window is open all the time, might as well serve some good!), to 0x85 (Decimal: 133) which is F22 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx). Using FdcSoft TaskMgr it is pretty straightforward to determine window classes.

AEB Plus on the Kaiser gave me 0x4073 as the keycode for the hardware OK button, which should be mappable, but I haven't tried this yet.

Alas, my fiddling time for today is spent, but I'll try some more tomorrow.

___ Edit2 ____

Still did some more. While crossposting in the Raphael Forum, I had a stop-think-and-google-moment and found this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923831.aspx

Perhaps the NULL and HWND_BROADCAST can be abused in the remapping of the home button...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shermanha:
thank you for the testing to all of you, and waiting for your good news, if fixed, it is very useful for 2 more hard button can be used
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lost Heaven:
You got that right! -.-
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thx1200:
What other ones work? Can you do short_back or long_back or short_home or long_home, etc...? Those are the ones most are interested in. I don't have my Touch Pro yet, but I'm interested in it too. I'd love it if I could do that without needing AE Button Plus!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dinfinity:
No luck yet

No new results concerning the registry keys, I'm afraid. I.e. No wildcards for the back button, and no wildcards for the post messages.

Concerning the post messages, I have a hunch that such messages need to be registered. I attempted entering several values for "ActiveSync", but my Home button always returned me to Manila.

Because no wildcards seem to be available, I'm not chasing down this path anymore.

LongPressEndKeyApp.exe ??

Just tried a Long_End.lnk to remap this to Comm Manager. Not working on Diamond.

But I noticed the presence of a LongPressEndKeyApp.exe in /Windows.

It's write protected, so no chance to simply rename or owerwrite it. Any Idea how to use this to remap the Long_End?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] egoist6:
if you want to remap the long end key then simply got to settings -> buttons
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] axelpix:
Nope. This would only give you this five options like Flightmode switch, Data Connection stop, ... dunno what else. It's not completely free configurable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] egoist6:
nope. it lets you configure the end key (hold-function) with ANY program you wish.

you are talking about the longpressendkey.exe (or endkey.exe) which behaves like you described but is one of many programs you could assign to the endkey.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] del4:
Thanks for reminding me of that! Just set the green answer button the camera, but may switch it to flashlight. Strange that one of the options for the built-in longpressendkey isn't to select another app??? Hopefully someone on xda-dev will figure out how to add options to this menu...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] egoist6:
i have read anywhere that either hbutton or ae button plus is now working on the diamond. there is a new version available.

you may give those a second try.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] del4:
Must be the other app, since AEButtonPlus hasn't been updated since May. Too bad, since I purchased a copy of AEBPlus and used it extensively on my Mogul. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TDO:
And it can't be HButton either.

I have looked around, but still no solution that I can find. Is there a way to remap the home key and the back key successfully?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mic2007:
Just got my diamond, I am quite disappointed with it. the hardware buttons are not working as well as my previous device, after I remapped the back button, it frequently didn't response or response wrongly to other keys. I guess this is a bug since they integrate a almost useless touch panel to the hardware keys that make the keypad driver handle much more operation than a traditional keypad. I am going to request them to fix it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thx1200:
My first Touch Pro had an issue where the left panel (home/send/left arrow) didn't respond accurately (sometimes you'd press the top part of the panel (home) and it would go into the phone). I got a replacement device (same day) and it works much better. Make sure you don't have a faulty device. Press the buttons on very corners with your finger (skin contact needed on capacitive panel). If when you press the corners it does the wrong function, your panel may be faulty.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Camstech:
Mapping Home and Back Buttons Possible without Touch Flo

This may not be of much use to most people, but I am not a Touch Flo fan. After a hard reset I do a soft reset before the "customisations" start and so Touch Flo isn't installed. I have a straight WM6.1 today screen which is just fine by me. (Telstra ROM)

One benefit of this is that EA Buttonplus (there is a new version 22-12-08 Ver 2.6.5) can be used to map the Home and Back buttons. I use the "Home" button to launch a program called "Launch Manager", and the "Back" button to launch TomTom.

Unfortunately, Touch Flo grabs these buttons and so they can't be remapped.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nlls:
I use the straight WM6.1 today screen as well. But I'd rather not do a hard reset.

Is there a way to uninstall Touch Flo? or at least stop it from loading?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hfrmobile:
Maybe I am wrong but it seems (to me) that

mapping a hardware button to a application

or

action

(e.g. <Show Input Pangel>) seems not to be supported for MDA Compact IV (aka Diamond) on WM6.1 Pro!?

When I use Start | Settings > Personal > Buttons the list "1. Select a button" is

empty

!!

Exists there a tweak (e.g. registry) how I can "fill the Select a button" list!?

I just like to map the action <Rotate screen> to a hardware button!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BongoCZ:
Any success, especially with

?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joyride76:
don't waste your time with aeb

Doesn't work as expected on diamond.

Use dredsensor it's designed for htc devices.

Be careful: assign every function to your botton cliks (long, double and standard clik) if you don't want to use long clik assigne the function do nothing.

this will prevent some strange problems...

So I have had a Blu Life One X2 and want to get some save data for a game off of it but these few titles require root access to get their data at all. I don't want to unlock the bootloader because that will wipe the data and this will all be for nothing and I have been reading that there might be a way to get SU access to root files without installing a custom ROM (maybe but idk hinestly because im still learning about all this root stuff). My phone is running 6.0.1 android and i moved the data I could and my main goal is simply to gain root access to backup saves using titanium and move them someplace else. I ppan on moving them to my new phone but I will figure out how to root that another time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Shogun91:
Hello,

Today when taking photos I've noticed that light sources like lightbulbs and chandeliers appear twice in photo. It's hard to describe, but attached photos should clarify what I'm talking about.

I've checked on other phone, Honor 8X and it's same.

And here's my question to you: do you observe the same behaviour, or my device is flawed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
That's odd....I have to see if my phone does the same.

Are you on Auto mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Shogun91:
Yes, I'm on Auto. I've gone also through pro mode settings, but none of them seem to reduce it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
And Honor 8x does the same? Thought that the camera lenses cover has some reflecting residue like oil etc...it is strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Shogun91:
Yes, Honor does the same. Actually I've just checked LG V30 and Huawei P10 Lite, and it's almost the same.

I'm kinda shocked I haven't noticed it before.

Can you please check on your phones?

I don't know if it's worth using warranty with my Note 10+ if it's the general issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
I took a direct photo of my desk lamp and there's nothing wrong, I'll try again later tonight using different angles/sources.

I googled it and this problem is widely commented on:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=phone+camera+ghost+reflections+of+light+sources
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Shogun91:
Thank you for the link. So it seems like this can be considered "normal".

However I'm still curious what will be result of your tests. Please share what was the outcome, whether you were able to reproduce this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
It depends on the angle, sometimes you will see this, some times not, I have seen this in dedicated cameras as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Shogun91:
Thank you for your response.

As I'm testing it more, it seems very hard to take photo without ghost lights when not pointing straight into light source, attached few more sample files.

Maybe I'll get over it, if not I'll give it a go, and use warranty, they'll do something with this or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
Hello,

That's amazing to see this post today, just the day i noticed exactely the same.

I noticed that when doing a video test, through windows stores (the room was in the dark, light going thru the little holes in the stores). I had exactely the same kind of little lights reproduced in the left quarter of the frame.

I thought it was due to the shape of the lens, some kind of light reflexion on it, but now i am wondering because that is the EXACT same thing as your description.

I would not send to warranty... since i had exactely the same 'problem'. I believe it is due to lens design.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Shogun91:
I believe you have the same, but don't know how often you see these lights.

I can understand this can be seen in some conditions, but as I'm testing it more, I almost can't take any photo without it.

I've looked through YouTube reviews with some night shots and can't see it there.

Attaching last two samples, to not spam this thread, as maybe I'm now oversensitive on this :)

I'll go to the store today, and see what they'll say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
Went on tonight to my favorite night photography places and the full moon was the perfect source of light to look into the "ghosting" thing. It's really easy to see what's happening with the light when moving the camera around its axis. Note 10 has a rather thick glass covering/protecting the lenses and the light entering the camera is being distorted by the inner and outer surfaces of the glass plate depending on the angle of entry.

I was having really boring Sunday today so I'm glad I found something to do because of that, and I even made a little drawing using the S-Pen(love the s-pen!) to illustrate directional changes of light while entering/exiting a medium of different densities (air/glass)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] torickray:
We know that light will get reflected by a glass at certain degree because of different density between air and glass. Basic physics. Our camera is made of multiple layers of lens with variables angle. So if 99% of light goes through the lens, 1% get reflected. We won't see it for normal light. But if the light source is very bright, even 1% will be visible on photo.

That's my hypothesis.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] mafy31:
Happens all the time when facing a lamp light directly, with wide and zoom lens. But seems to be less visible with ultra-wide.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
This looks like an internal reflection within the camera it's self.

Internal reflections are common on multi-element lens.

You pay big bucks for coated elements and engineering to suppress this effect in pro lens.

Internal reflections can also happen between the cmos sensor and any of the internal optics.

In the case the cover element is a prime suspect.

Lol, you can thousands for a pro shooting system and you will still find this.

Cometin

What is Cometin

Cometin is a free*, growing collection of tweaks and tricks to optimize your productivity and improve the Android experience.

More information

I can create a separate app for every idea I have. But why shouldn't I put everything in 1 app?

Google announced Dynamic Modules at the IO in 2019

With dynamic features you can split an app into several parts. This is exactly what Cometin is.

Cometin is a growing collection of tricks and tweaks for your Android device, split into modules.

This way you only download the features that you want to use and save your storage space.

Available modules (with some small descriptions)

• Ambient display

bring a customized Ambient display, Always-on-display and wave to wake to your device

• App locker

Lock apps behind a passcode or pattern

• Better rotation

Forces every app to be compatible with every orientation including 180 degrees

• Caffeine

Keep your screen on for a certain amount of time

• Cometin Sync

Sync notifications, and notes between phones and desktops

• Darker brightness

Go below the minimum brightness by applying a dark overlay on top of your screen

• Flip to shhh (beta)

Flip your phone face down to silent notifications (except alarms)

• Heads-up

Hide head-up notifications

• Immersive

Hide statusbar, navigationbar or both

• Parallel

Create a work profile to seperate personal and work

• Remap assistant

Execute a different action when opening the assistant

Is this safe?

Yes! All modules are only served from the Google Play Store, all modules are scanned by Google Play Protect so nothing to worry about!

Installing modules:

The installation of modules is done immediately, and you can use the module immediately after installation.

Updating modules:

Installed modules are automatically updated together with Cometin. No hassle with separate files!

Removing modules:

Module uninstalls do not occur immediately. That is, the device uninstalls them in the background in the next 24 hours.

Request for new features:

Requests for new features are always welcome! However, I cannot promise anything about the actual arrival of these features.

Request your features via my support ticket system. This way you can keep track of the status of features.

Need help or got problems?

If you are stuck or need more information, don't hesitate and contact me via Telegram, XDA or my support ticket system. That way I can best help you.

Did I got your attention?

I'm trying out Ambient display on my tablet and I'm not sure I'm using it right. It's enabled, and I've customized it, but the ambient display doesn't turn on my screen when I get a notification. Is it also possible for me to make the ambient display show when I open the cover of my tablet (my case is one of those kinds that have a flap to cover to the front).
[Android Apps and Games] stiggerby:
Like the app lots - do you think adding an always on to the ambient display might be a good idea for anyone with an amoled screen but no native option?

Like oneplus owners?

Like me... ?
[Android Apps and Games] Nawual:
Hello

First of all thank this application.It is essential for me.

I've enabled Ambient Display module. I need when I'm studying to get notifications on the lock screen and see a header of them.

Now when a notification arrives there is a small lag when you press on the screen to enter.

It would be great to be able to configure the time that these notifications are on the screen, as well as the position in the same and the amount of notifications that one needs.

Best regards and thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] letmedanz:
Reporting after a couple of days of testing.

Just used the ambient display and it looks fantastic.

Works everytime too.

Apart from the lag that others have noted, i noticed 2 other issues:

a) when this is enabled, screen dimming & screen off seems to be forced. I've noticed the default time reverting to 15 seconds. Even if there is activity on the screen, it still forces the screen dimming and turning off.

b) there seems to be a noticeable increase in battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] stardomains:
If I uninstall the app will it uninstall all modules right then?
[Android Apps and Games] midhun.ko:
I've also noticed screen off time reverting to 15 seconds. Is Ambient Display working fine?

Using the Cloud Dashboard and I noticed Microsoft's "Your Phone" application which connects my Windows computer with my phone no longer connects. Does the Cloud Dashboard preempt this connection? Both applications show my phone's (Pro 7) notifications.

I'd like to keep both application up and running.
[Android Apps and Games] letmedanz:
The display of ambient display works well. The lag issue that others have mentioned, exists. Due to ambient display however, i see some quirks with forced screen locking etc
