[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BDS Boston:
Using AE Button Plus with ATT Fuze-Raphael-HTC Touch Pro; voice dialing

Cheers to WMM for this outstanding solution. AE Button Plus is a powerful application, but its operation does not appear to be well documented. For the record, these are my further comments on WMM's great approach to the PTT button remapping.

WMM recites these steps (with my interpolations):

1) Using a registry editor, such as PHM or the one with Resco File Explorer, delete the value, not the key, of HKey_Local_Machine\Services\PTT\Dll (was "PTTService.dll", will now be ""). (Instead, I renamed ""PTTService.dll" to "PTTService.bak"). Then perform a soft reset.

I wonder if this step is necessary at all, given the power of AE Button Plus. See my further comments below.

2) Run AE Button Plus, add the PTT button as a new key, and set its action. WMM explains further, that with AE Button Plus running he "pressed the PTT button. The code #00ED showed up, and I accepted that. That code then appears in the list of buttons, and a press-and-hold on it in the list brings up the mapping options." This is not a user-friendly program, but the press-and-hold on the newly added #00ED button, permits configuring the action associated with the button. There are thee numbered options provided:

1. Do not touch it. I assume this means that the program will not affect operation of the button.

2. Unbind only. I assume this means that the program will remove a prior setting for the button, but this is only my guess.

3. Handle by AEBPlus. Select this option.

(In fact, I wonder whether the fact that AEBPlus will intercept the button when you select this third choice would even make it unnecessary to disable the PTTService.dll. Somebody may wish to try this because then AEBPlus could be used straight out of the box without any need for a registry modification.)

Once you have selected "Handle by AEBPlus", you can select a series of operations, such as "single press", "double press", etc. For each operation selected, you can then select from a scrollable list what you want the operation to achieve:

1. None

2. Run application (for me this is the most interesting possibility)

3. Press Enter

4. Press Esc

5. Press Up arrow key

6. Press Down arrow key

Etc... With 62 total possibibilies, including virtual buttons, whatever they are.

If you pick "Run application", you will have another scrollable list from which you can pick the application to be run.

After specifying the operations desired (which are shown in AE Button Plus as selected), you must still do more:

Go to the "File" menu at the bottom left, and select "Save and Exit". Then perform another soft reset. After these steps--voila--you have a remapped PTT button. :D If you exit without saving, the program will not function.

I have a further query. My reason for wanting to remap the PTT button is to be able to use voice dialing. Out of the box the Fuze comes without voice dialing unless you subcribe to ATT's PTT service. As an alternative, I have installed Ms Voice Command v. 1.6. However, "voice command" does not show up as an application listed by AE Button Plus. :( Has anybody used AE Button Plus to invoke MS Voice Command?
