Any way to customize the middle button?

[Guest Omnian]

I find the front middle button of the Omnia really useless. Arrow up and down is slow and inaccurate. Is it possible to customize the click of the middle button to launch a program? Can registry or program do it?

Thanks in advance.

You can use AE Buttons Plus :(

OMG Nice!

Thank you very much, just what I needed!

[Guest Omnian]

AE button is good EXCEPT, it overwrites the auto brightness function for the Omnia :( and there is no way to disable it.

Just a note, install AE button in the Omnia's main memory not My Storage.

If you can live with the issue above, it looks good.

hey it didnt overwrite my autobrightness on my omnia.. i got the 2.65 version of aebutton.. i know it got brightness settings as well but didnt affect it.. i think its very hard to notice it change but try covering the sensor with ur thumb, u will see slightly how it gradually goes down in brightness step by step..

actually i tried to add button in aebutton for the middle button.. no luck.. it 'll ask to reset and after reset its gone... no middle button still..

edit: dont worry about it.. i retired it and it works now.. dont know why it didnt.. i assign single press as enter and long press to activate main menu.. its like iphone now.. lol..

I am using 2.6.6. What i mean is that in Settings>Backlight, you have auto adjustment and manual adjustment. After shutdown and restart, AE button will change the setting to Manual Adjustment.

I overcome this with phonealarm where the profiles you can set to auto adjustment again. But for others without phonealarm maybe this problem will happen?

Maybe that's why the light sensor doesn't works with G-Alarm... I'm going to try it and I'll report.

Edit : After AE Button uninstall it changes nothing with the light sensor.

i guess use 2.65 then.. whats extra in 2.66? 2.66 suits me quite well so far.. the only thing ae button cant do is mortsripts stuff..

[Guest Omnian]

Decided to uninstall AE Button. Feel that it slows down the Omnia too much. Back to my search for a registry method to change the middle button...

Hello.

I'm using AE button plus 2.6 with my omnia to lock the phone (with s2u2) using the hang up key (called red key too)

The problem is that i can't selet that key to be be used as a long press button (it doesn't work!!)

But if i use the ae button plus (that i recomend!!) just with a double press button it works perfect

Well... i must say i had to congigurate the hang up key with a single press as "red button" to works well using the phone funcion to hang up.

I have installed the AE Button plus in the store memory (omnia 16gb memory) no in the programs memory.

And it works.

Must i have install it in the main memory???

I dont feel omnia runs slow now.

But... IS VERY INTERESTING to know a registry method to change buttons... (midlle and hang up key)

PLEASE LET US KNOW what you find....please!!!

Is it somehow possible, to turn off screen with any other button than on-off switch?

I wanted the sort of the same ability, one button to lock device and turn off ths screen.

quickest way I could think of (there might be better ways though):

- I'm using QuickMenu, it has lock screen and suspend functionality: in options->commands, create .lnk files for both methods

- create a .mrsc (MortScript) file in with two lines: RunWait( \path\to\suspend.lnk) and RunWait( \path\to\lock.lnk)

- in Settings->Buttons, assign a button to the MortScript file and you're done
