This utility extends functionality of hardware keys on HTC Himalaya/Andes/Magician platforms.
It allows you to:
- Remap each standard hardware button to 2 or 3 "virtual", simulated via double or triple clicks.
- Use volume slider to simulate Up/Down direction keys or create additional "virtual" hardware buttons.
- Remap Red and Green phone buttons to 1,2 or 3 hardware buttons each.
As a result you may define up to 15 hardware buttons (system limit).
Compatibility
This utility may be used on the following mobile devices:
- Windows Mobile 2003 PocketPC and PocketPC Phone Edition
- Windows Mobile 2003SE PocketPC and PocketPC Phone Edition
- Windows Mobile 2005 PocketPC and PocketPC Phone Edition
- Windows Mobile 2003SE Smartphone
- Windows Mobile 2005 Smartphone
I don't think this utility is useful on Smartphone
(see "Known Issues" below). Anyway be sure to backup your Smartphone before
installing AEBPlus. PocketPC users are safe because of touchscreen .
! Since 2.3.2 (beta) "Safe Mode" is implemented. You may
press&hold left key during startup to choose AEBPlus load options.
Compatible devices:
- HTC Himalaya/Andes: O2 XDA II, I-Mate PocketPC, T-Mobile MDA II, QTek 2020.
- HTC Alpine: O2 XDA2 IIi, I-Mate PDA2 (Not PDA2k), QTek 2020i.
- HTC Magician: O2 XDA mini, I-Mate JAM, T-Mobile MDA Compact, QTek S100.
- There are reports of successful use on E-Ten M500 device.
- This utility also works on HTC Wallaby (O2 XDA, T-Mobile MDA, QTek 1010 etc.).
Known Issues
- Some keys may not be emulated after being snaffled from system.
So you will loose original functionality green phone button until it assigned to AEBPlus.
- AEBPlus may not work properly if hardware button click notification sound is on.
If you experience problems please try to turn it off by unchecking
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Hardware buttons checkbox
