I didn't know much about creating .lnk files either so I just copied existing links instead of creating new ones. Just about every link you could need is probably in some sub-folder of \Windows\Start Menu\ so if you just copy that .lnk as \windows\short_PTT.lnk, you should be all set.

Thanks again Proto for figuring this out and Thresher for expanding the instructions!

Hah! You are the MAN (at least I think so). This is exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you very much!

how do we attach the long_END or long_call to the end button and call button?

the i installed NATF rom but it only gives options for long_end to be airplane mode, vibrate/silent, and two others. i want to add another function there.

anyone know where the calculator program file is located?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alexmullins:
Bah! For some reason I cannot get this to work. Ive dll'ed total commander, deleted the PPT in the registry, renamed the PPT folder in windows directory, renamed the ok.txt to PPT file and set the properties(system and read-only), created 2 .lnk files(short_PPT.lnk for voicecmd.exe and long_PPT.lnk for camera.exe) by using the method wmm described. I changed the properties of both of these files to read-only and system. Soft-reset and nothing happened when i pressed the PPT button. Can anyone help me out?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ITNV:
Try copying an existing .lnk file from the \Windows\Start Menu directory to \Windows and renaming it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
It's \Windows\MobileCalculator.exe.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
Good idea on the calculator, making it quicker to count my millions!Q!!

I dont think you need to change the permissions on the .lnk files you create. So alexmullins I can't think of what other issue there would be.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
So what happens when you navigate to \Windows and double click your newly created lnks? if it does not execute what you want then you incorrectly made then lnks.

I had a few hiccupps but after a second go of it I got it. Once you delete the key, rename the folder and create your lnks do a soft reboot. When you hit the ptt button what happens? Mine at first was going to pictures and images because I made my lnk the wrong way.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ITNV:
FYI... If you have anything in your registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services/PTT the fix might not work.

Proto/Thresher - you might want to update your instructions to delete this key as one of the first steps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ghost13:
works like a charm, shortcut was a genius idea!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hopper13:
Or you can just push your new voice command button and say "start calculator"!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] christian15213:
could you clean this up? I am a bit over the title of noob and these directions are not straight forward at all. I am amazed at people saying this is amazing and I am stuck basically at step 2. I erased the registry file but the comment of rename windows/PTT to something else... do you mean file or folder??? when you say create a file PTT do you mean file or folder? when you say create a short_.lnk file???/ how do you do that?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
All of your questions have been answered within the thread. Go read my post on page 3. Please.

Sincerely,

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ridiculousyj:
Your right about the above.. by deleting this entry in the Registry, the PTT error message no longer comes up even when i do not have a signal, as it did before deleting the entry. Note that this only applies to the PTT button when it is pressed AND your phone has no available signal.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alexmullins:
yea i went into the windows folder and double clicked on the links and the open the right application but for some reason when pressing the PPT button nothing happens. Im gonna hard reset and try this again. Hopefully it will work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] christian15213:
Got it... Thanks Thrasher... What a difficult one. LMAO. for the long end and short end.... do you have to go through this whole process or can you just short cut them to something else. I mean I do want to be able to shut the phone off and turn it back on. But can you really get some usage outta these short cuts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thresher:
Im sure power off could be worked out but I doubt power on. I dont know why I think that...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pkirill:
Awesome directions! It took some doing, but I finally got it working. Here are a couple tips in case you run into any issues along the way:

1) Do Not forget to assign the permissions to the blank PTT file. If you do, and you press the PTT button, you still get prompted to sign up and the HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT is recreated. You need to do a soft reset to stop the PTT service. Then you can go back and delete the key. Set the appropriate permissions and try again.

2) Not sure if this was an issue, but when you rename the PTT folder, completely replace "PTT".

3) I tried to create shortcuts by copying and renaming existing shortcuts for Voice Command and the camera. The VC link worked fine, but the "camera.lnk" is a shorcut to a button action (which in itself is interesting...) and doesn't work. I just manually entered \Windows\Camera.exe in the properties of the shortcut I created...

4) (Update) I also had to include a soft reset instead of a Power off/Power on. Just turning it off and on the shorcuts worked, but I still got the activation pop-up.

5) It's PTT not PPT...

Hope this helps other late-night tinkerers!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mcdover:
Could somebody please tell me where Cyberon Voice Dialer.exe is installed on this phone? I'm trying to remap the ptt button to this app, but I cannot find the exe anywhere. Nevermind, I had to uninstall and reinstall for it to show up. Go figure.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alexmullins:
You sir are AWESOME and i am an IDIOT. this solved all of my problems. Thanks alot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] christian15213:
the what dialer... is this on our phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] RebelShadow:
Look for sddialer.exe in the windows directory
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] snathanb:
Any ideas why my long press would work, but not the short press?

The shortcut that I've renamed to short_PTT.lnk does work. I can rename the same shortcut to long_PTT.lnk, and it works. I just can't get a short press to do anything.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fuybjeans:
Thanks for the post. Worked great!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mhumphrey:
Yes, the instructions need to be updated. I found that making the changes as described here, initially everything worked great. However, eventually, in addition to running my shortcut, the device would also try and launch PTT. This would result in an error message popping up and a little blue circle in the task bar. Deleting HKLM/Services/PTT seems to have fixed it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
Thanks for the hack. It puzzles me why HTC left a dedicated camera button

off this beast. Does anyone really use PTT anyway?

Now I have my camera button back! Also, pressing it snaps the picture :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Proto732:
I can only guess that AT&T figures someone might actually try PTT if they bump the button often enough. Why else would they go to such lengths to prevent you from changing the button's function.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pkirill:
I dunno. What are program are you trying to shortcut to? I used Voice Command and Camera. When you say "they work" do you mean exactly?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AssassinsLament:
Have you guys gotten Long_End.lnk to work? I got all the rest, but this one seems to default to the system screen lock. I can't seem to change it with my Long_End.lnk
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alfredob1:
I'm in a similar boat, so to speak. I got the short press to work. Although not the way I wanted it to. I navigated to the AKToggleWifi directory, selected the app and created a link. However, when I short press the PTT button the camera light comes on. I also can't seem to find my shortcuts. I tried searching (short, short*.*, short_PTT.lnk) but they don't seem to be anywhere on the phone. And the long press does nothing as far as I can tell.

On the plus side no more "Do you wish to use PTT?" messages. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bugsykoosh:
delete HKLM/Services/PTT if you keep getting the PTT popup.

It's from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=418771&highlight=ptt+remap and put together with this thread to cover both issues here:

http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=598
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Proto732:
actually ... No, if you get a PTT services message in addition to your shortcut it means you did not rename the PTT directory then cycle the power. I still have the HKLM/services/PTT keys in my registry and and only my shortcut runs when I press the button.

the instructions need to be followed to the letter. also if you make any attempt to assign the button in Start, Settings, buttons ... a number of the original settings will attempt to put themselves back into place.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iceman4357:
anyone working on a camera re-map?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Run1Joe1Run:
Hi.

Question 1:

I just reviewed a link (i.e., http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=613) that mentions to download Diamond Tweak to enhance functions for the Diamond and Fuze. Is Diamond Tweaks a program that allows you to go into your phone's registry? I am asking because I see above where this posts talks about editing the phone's registry keys using a program called Total Commander for PocketPC.

So, in short, should I used Diamond Tweak or Total Commander for PocketPC? (Note: If you say I should still use Total Commander, which version? I have found several and need to know what is the latest and most compatible with the Fuze)

Question 2:

I would like to remap any of my soft keys on the Fuze so that I can play certain games. If I follow your instructions above on changing the registry key for PTT, what would I use if I want the PTT button to operate the soft left and right buttons that are usually found on mobile phones? (Note: The Fuze does not have these traditional two buttons.)

For example, certain games I play have a "selection" icon on bottom left-hand side of screen and a "cancel action" icon on bottom right-hand side of screen. These icons require that you press your left soft key or right soft key to select these two icons so that you can perform such actions like return to the game menu or cancel an action. However, the Fuze's left soft key is set to "home" and the right soft key is set to "return". When playing games, these two keys take me out of the game. Also, I have not found any other key on the Fuze that will allow me to select either of these two icons that appear on botton left and right side of the screen when playing games.

Also, is there a way for me to remap my keyboard keys? For example, I would like to remap my "ok" and "start" keys (i.e., on left-hand side of my keyboard) to act as my left and right soft keys, respectively, so that I can select the two icons that appear on the bottom on screen when playing games.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bugsykoosh:
Diamond Tweak does make some registry tweaks but the way it does it is blind to you. In other words - it asks you if you want your phone to wake up when you get a text message and you click yes or no - it makes the applicable registry edit for you.

Total Commander is a full fledged registry editor that you need to change each item on its own. They have a step by step on how to remap the PTT that follows the instructions here on XDA but give you a little more detail. There is also a link for total commander in that posting

http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=598

Just follow their video and it shows you the step by step...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Run1Joe1Run:
Appreciate your quick response to my question 1 above. I reviewed the link you sent to me but am unable to view the video since I am still at work. However, in response to my question 2 above, do you believe that the video or instructions will give me adequate step-by-step instructions on which new buttons I will need to map in order to play games? (Note: These games require you to select the left and right soft keys, which are usually found on most phones but not on the Fuze)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bugsykoosh:
those instructions on fuzemobility just tell you how to remap the PTT button (which is not something you can do in settings). Advanced Configuration tool lets you change soft keys but it's probably only going to work for apps...not sure if you can get it to work for the games.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] waterskier1:
I found I had to delete the HKLM/Services/PTT from the registry to keep the PTT pop up from reappearing.

Even after renaming the Windows\PTT file and making a new one, with System and Read Only checked, and putting Ok.txt in there as read only and system, and trying different combinations of power down - soft boot, soft boot - power down, it still overwrote the PTT folder.

So, after trying all this, and finally deleting the Service from the registry, it works, but I now have 5 PTT1-PTT5 folders that I can't delete. I've tried making sure that nothing under properties is checked or grayed out, but it won't let me delete or move the individual files or the folders (directories). What am I doing wrong?

Is there any way to make the short press of the PTT=OK? Right now I have it as AltTab, but I would prefer to have it as OK. Next is the devicelock. Is there anyway to have the devicelock from the today screen plugin active as the long press? I don't want to have to enter in a password everytime?

Is there way to link PTT button to lock device using long hold PTT button and using short hold for "Back" function?

Thanks.

do you think theres a way to map the ptt button to turn on bluetooth? i currently have it set to open comm manager, so it takes 2 presses and then i have to click to exit comm manager.. would be nice if i could just turn on bluetooth with one press.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
Here is an application that purports to toggle bluetooth on and off. I haven't used it, but assuming it works, you could just make that the target of the short_PTT or long_PTT shortcut in the \Windows folder.

HELP

Sorry guys I'm a Newbie here.:confused: I am stuck on the part where I am supposed to create the shortcut links that i want for the ptt button. Do I just create two seprate folders in windows and call it short_PTT.lnk and copy and paste \Windows\Camera.exe in it?? I got up to where the ptt button doesn't do anything when you press it. Sorry guys I deserve a slap or two for being such a noob, i'll slap myself for being so new, but this is my first smart phone.

Try going to www.fuzemobility.com and then to third or fourth page and locate the PTT Fix - "movie" should be accessible.

Remapping the PTT button

HELP! i thought i followed all the instructions to the letter, i did manage to get the ptt warning thing to stop coming up, but havent been able to successfully remap to another function. I used total ce to create a shortcut from the camera.exe -- and named it short_PTT.ink. i did that by selecting windows/camera.exe and creating shortcut naming it the short_PTT.ink. then i do a soft reset. the PTT doesnt come up from att, so that is good, but the camera doesnt start up either? any ideas? is there a cab for this? have tried to copy the camera.ink link as well, same thing.

Should be short_PTT.Lnk, not short_PTT.Ink

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] alfredob1:
Woohoo. Finally got it working. For some reason Total Commander wasn't creating the shortcuts. So I made the shortcuts manually with notepad and dropped them in the Windows directory and now it works. I can toggle my wifi/radio on/off with a short/long press of the PTT button. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kssshah:
Still does not work for me

I really feel stupid asking these question. The directions could not have been more clear. However, after following all the steps, i still cannot get the PTT button to work for Camera or Voice command. And my shortcut links do work when clicked from the \windows folder.

I think i may have fouled on the read and system access. I do not have any special app to do that. So i tried doing it via ActiveSync. Do I need Total commander to do that? I can see 'Read only' but no system access. Please help.

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ITNV:
Try following the steps again using Total Commander. I don't know if it's necessary but it does seem to have worked for the people who've used it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kssshah:
yes it worked for me after using Total Commander. Couple of issue I had which total commander helped with were-

The security rights on the file PTT (System and Read only)

Having problems with this too. Tried a few different things, but still nothing. When I hold the button, the picture/video thing looks like it's going to come up over the start menu, but then it goes away. Nothing on a short press at all.

Edit:

Still working on this, but now I have like 3 PPT2, PPT3 ect. Any way to get rid of them? Can't just delete because they are set as system files. Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ftdn2006:
ahh, finally someone shares my pain, any ideas? anybody?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Miamifan1354:
Just did a hard reset. Going to try this again.

Edit:

Worked great after the hard reset. Did exactly as the directions said, but made sure I did a few things.

1. Completely rename the first PTT folder. You have get rid of all of the original letters and make all new ones.

2. Create the shortcuts from the original .exe files and send them to your storage card. Then go to the storage card, rename them there and move them back to /windows/*.*

3. Close out total command to ensure that everything is saved, then use the button on the bottom to restart the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ftdn2006:
Dude...You are the man!! I didn't even have to hard reset.

1. I deleted the original shortcuts I made

2. Soft reset. (button on bottom)

3. Create the shortcuts from the original .exe files and send them to your storage card. Then go to the storage card, rename them there and move them back to /windows/*.*

4. Close out total command to ensure that everything is saved, then use the button on the bottom to restart the phone.

Works great! Thanks so much, I was running around in circles trying to figure this out.:):D
