Long Press End Key - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All -
Can anyone please help with with remapping the long-press-end-key on my HD2?
I tried various searches on the forum, followed various instructions like Long_end.lnk etc. Nothing worked. I don't want to install a 3rd party app. I would prefer a registry edit, or a cab file install which can help me remap the key to a specific program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS > Right now the long press of the end key is mapped to the quick menu with 4 options.

These kind of .cabs usually do the same as editing the registry yourself.
Look for Dutty's Task Manager.

Create a shortcut to the .exe you want to run. Rename it to 'EndKeyLNK' and copy it and the extracted 'EndKey.exe' attached below to the windows folder. Now long pressing end key will launch the exe. I did not create this i found it though i cant remember who did create it.
I use it to launch xdashutdown with no problems

Thanks buddy ... that was awesome ...
However, After doing that, when I press Long_end button, it tells me that the app cannot be run as it is unsigned or a component cannot be found. Weird.
How did you overcome that error with XDAShutdown app. I'm trying to use the Slide2Shutdown app.
Thanks

i had no problem at all with xda shutdown. Check that the shortcut you created is renamed properly and that it indeed works by manually clicking on it.
It needs to be EndKeyLNK.lnk

hi, its vjay555 who made this cute piece of software. the program is called vjbrisk.
works perfect thank you for the tip.
mad

Did you get it working Govindar77 ?

I just instaled it and it works great with xdasutdown too!!!!
nice
just remember to backup the original EndKey file

Thanks
All who helped and replied to this thread -
Thanks a bundle guys. I was able to get it working.
Made a cab, which can be installed, and pulls up Slide2Shutdown on long-press-end key.
Awesome .... me so happy ..
Anyone need the cab, just holla here, and I'll post it.

hello,iam trying to give a second option to the hardware key i dont know how to do it, i just install the cab endkey.exe but iam lost , can you orient me ?

I found this thread as I was going to try to get my old X1's Smaberg's actionscreen working with the off button (worked fine with the HD and the X1, not the HD2), then I found he'd got it working already.
It may be of interest to some of you, more options than xdashutdown.

Hey buddy,
If you're still interested - basically what you gotta do is copy the endkey.exe to the Windows folder, and then create a shortcut of the program, and rename it as endkeylnk.lnk and copy that to the Windows folder as well.
I just integrated all the steps and made a cab file (I also happen to have the exe file for Slide2Shutdown). So nothing needs to be done manually. Just install the cab, and voila ... long-press-end-key runs the Slide2Shutdown program.

Too many choices, buddy. I tried it and went away from it. I also have cabs for the BT toggle, Lock Device, Send Rec All, etc. So I just install the ones I need.

Great!! I was looking for something like this a while ago. Didn't found anything so I created my own work-around. I came up with this. Although the above solution is more simple, my solution has the advantage that you can add mortscript code in it.

Just copy the new exe over
Thanks to the contributions to this thread I was able to change the long press end key behavior...
Only I was so lazy that I didn't want to create a shortcut file and copy further files. So I only copied the original exe over the EndKey.exe using Total Commander.
And it worked immediately without soft-reset.
Given the old file is in ROM I suspect I just have to delete the copy to recover the previous one!
Thanks again because I tried the long_end.lnk and the registry 40C7 key modifications without any success.

Can you help me!! Set Long_Endkey for Smartlock (Lockscreen)! thank you!! plz!

Follow the instructions in post number 5. to create a shortcut (incase you didn't know) you long press on a file and then copy and at the destination long press in empty space and then paste shortcut. You need to find the .exe or link that launches smart lock. Create a shortcut to it and rename this shortcut to EndKeyLNK and copy it and the file contained in the zip attached to post #5 into the windows directory

how do i cook a rom?

i have the latest kitchen and i opened it........ there isnt any noticable proggie there that builds a rom (at least that i can see).........can someone help me out with instructions or a link to some good intructions?

dcd V2.3.1
I'm a noob and it took me awhile to figure it out too. I created a new empty folder on the desktop. Then using Winzip or Winrar (or whatever zip program you use) select all files and EXTRACT them into the empty new folder you created on your desktop. Then run the .bat file you see (buildos or something like that). There will also be a bunch of additional folders inside your new folder...don't worry about those. The program pretty much runs itself after that. You can pick some options...then click the small green arrow in the menu bar and some stuff happens in the background....finally it will produce your ROM and you follow the onscreen intructions from there.
Kinda on the same note ... can other aps be added to the rom? ie ... say Handbase, SPB Pocket plus ... Obviously I'd love to build a rom that would if restore my phone like I like it after a hard reset ... not sure if you can do this ... but if so How? I'm currently using a "cooked" rom from the same
kitchen ... would just like to cook it some more

Hi I'm having the same problem. I tried running the .bat file and it comes up with the same error. You wrote that you fixed it, but didn't say how. In the future it would probably be a little more helpful if you wrote how you fixed it. Thank you very much guys.

Exporting application reg keys

I am looking to create some cabs (now that I have WinCE figured out) and wondered if others had quick ways of getting all of the reg keys exported for specific applications so I can add those into my cab.
If I can get buttons, today screen prefs, apps, and a few other things done in one compiled "Setup CAB" I will have my phone auto-customized I had it before flashing. I am so close to having only cabs in my UC if I can get this, and do away with the copy commands.

This is actually something I've been wondering about and kinda 'working on'.
I'm trying to find out how certain applications store registration info (registry, files, etc.)
Just a few in question that I'm trying to auto-register on flash:
Resco Tools: Backup and Explorer
Handmark Games (Yahtzee and Scrabble)

It's simple. If you bought WinCE you will then be able to use the option to export and import REG Keys.
So all you would need to do is open a CAB from any program -- Export the REG -- and close it out.
Then open the CAB project you made and import the REG key and your good.
But you must first buy WinCE. The evaluation copy doesn't let you do this. Well it didn't let me.
For cabs that are just changing reg keys for you and not actually installing anything...it's easier to just create an xml file. Name the xml file _setup.xml and use makecab from the command line like this:
Code:
makecab _setup.xml yourcab.cab

So, I need to give a little more explanation for my question.
I am pretty sure that I know how to change registry keys one by one using XML.
I am not sure if it is possible to export everything from a folder in a way that it can be combined with other registry exports and ultimately cabbed. Say I am looking to replace every key in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today after a new flash so that certain things are enabled and disabled.
My hope is that I will be able to export the entire "today" in such a way that I can add those to a wince cab. It would be nice to be able to export several of these "folders" at one time and drag them over.
Like I said, I am trying to prevent having to do this one key at a time so that in the future even if I change the setup I don't have to change the strategy for export/import.

Final XML
Here is my final XML for anyone who cares to share theirs, I learned a lot by looking at GC's (credit where it is due). I put my sdconfig.txt on here too.
Feel free to let me know if there is a better way to do any of this. I will be testing tonight to see how it does after a flash. This should save me 20 minutes of tinkering if everything goes right.
Other than the background not being possible (that seems hard to believe there is no way to do this), I will only have a few things to set up when flashing if all goes well. This will be so worth the hour time it took to create.
Any way to register devices via XML (wifi, bluetooth)?
PS. Though I didn't do it here, I have cabbed the _setup.xml file for installation with UC.
All those CPY commands are still unnecessary. You could make one cab to do all of that very easily.
Also, why do you have LOCK/HIDE commands around the reg cab?

Got those two things cleared up, cabbed the files to copy which works great.
Can't seem to figure two things out:
1. xml didn't install registry keys. Did I miss some setting in WinCE (I just set it as universal, added to files, and set the location to %InstallDir%). I had all of the files I was going to copy in UC in this same created cab as _setup.xml; the copied files went across fine, but no registry keys were changed. This leads me to believe that xml didn't load correctly or at all.
2. Copying folders. I cant seem to copy folders directly into WinCE so I would think that the folder must be created then the files must be copied across. How do you create these folders (I want to copy across AstroGPSLauncher and HTC Home icons to root). I tried using the copy command in UC as well but I think the syntax was wrong by using backslash after folder name in CPY1 and no slash after new folder in CPY2.
Thanks, I am so close to getting this.

1. You don't use WinCE to create cabs from provxml. You use makecab as I previously stated.
2. Get rid of the CPY commands, don't use them at all. If you want to install youricon.png to root, you just add youricon.png as a file in the cab and set the location to root. Default install directory doesn't matter, you can specify install location for each file separately.

So, makecab worked to create the cab but it states that the installation of the cab was unsuccessful. Here is the zip of the setup file and the cab I created (I kept yourcab.cab naming for fun).
P.S. I got rid of all copy commands, but still can't figure out how to create a new folder on the device using xml or wince. Please explain how I can cab a folder with all its contents, or create a new folder in xml, then UC a cab to install the contents.
That version of WinCE doesn't allow for import of complete folders. Later versions do.
You can also try QuickCab. Don't remember the user's name, but it is being developed by an XDA member. I believe it allows for copying complete folders, and has a simple GUI.
Edit: If you are just looking to do it for AstroGPS it should be fairly easy. Isn't it just one or two files in /AstroGPS... and a shortcut in /windows/start menu/programs? If so, just drag the file (or two) into WinCE, and it will ask you where you want it to be installed. Then just choose /AstroGPSLauncher (you have to create a new folder, but the option is right there).

Thanks for looking into the second issue.
Right, but I need to have that in a folder called AstroGPSLauncher on the root. I also am looking to install the HTC Home folder (overwrite the other one). I will get a newer copy of WinCE.

Are you talking about your Today screen background? You are basically looking to have a certain theme selected? If so, then that is no problem. TSK's are basically just cabs themselves. The Theme selection app in WM just reads the TSK, imports the registry color info, and copies tdywater.gif/.jpg and stwater.gif/.jpg to /windows. At startup, WM reads those image files and assigns them as your Today and Start Menu wallpapers. Just use WinCE to export the contents of the TSK. Then use whatever method you like to update your registry and copy those files to /windows.

I have this mostly figured out for my needs, a few tweaks and some new ideas since getting things flashed with UC / XML / Cabbed files. If anyone wants to get some help setting up their xml and UC I will do my best to help you through the process.

Thank you a lot! Using ROMExtractor, I have another "shellres.192.dll" on my

But another question:My purpose is to use ResourceHacker to chang BMP for

"shellres.192.dll" from \windows\ to \Storage Card\, then I just copy it back to
windows,(didn't do anything else),I find the "Setting" panel has been
changed,the three sub-panels: Personal,system,connections, missed!
I don't know why. Please help me,if can. Thanks!!!
rather than just copy it back into windows, make the file into a cab that installs it to windows. just copying files over rom files doesn't usually work.

ok, so i did this :
"Output EXT" C:\CAB_Converter\Converted_EXT
Open the project i have in osKitchen, press "Import" and "Import a new EXT Package"
In the new windows i have it like default, Source = "Windows Mobile or OEM Package.
I add first Co0kie Home Tab v2.0.0 and change destination to "HTC Leo" and group to "HTC Leo Packages" and name Co0kie Home Tab
And i did same with CHTEditor v2.0.0!
After that i go to EXT Packages check the left box before the file's and then press "Start Building"...
Then i flash that rom!
When i go on my phone, it's not installed...
To install it i have to go to program named Search Phone, search for HomeTab , press it, and install on device...
WHY DO I HAVE TO INSTALL IF AFTER FLASHING IT!?!!
Other rom's have it allready installed, so they can start using it without installing it themself!
EDIT: Tryed the same with Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.8.5 and CHTEditor.v1.8.5.1... The same thing happend!
Ahh its been so long I forget the next bit, sorry.
