NEW VERSION 2.3
*** this application is no longer developed. Last version (2.3) is attached to this post ***
I didn’t find freeware application for assign more applications to one HW button using hold-button, so I decided to write my own. Here is result.
Application HButton can be used to assign more applications to one HW button. If you press the button, the first application is run. If you hold button till device vibrate, second app is run. If you hold button till second vibrate, third app…. And so on, and so forth.
Usage:
* Install attached cab.
* Run HBSetup (Programs - HButton - HBSetup), setup up to 5 applications to Button1
* Start Setting – personal – Buttons and assign HButton1 to any HW button.
Now you can run all selected applications using this one HW button.
Any topics welcome.

.NET2.0 necessary
One more remark.
.NET 2.0 is necessary to use HBSetup. If you want to use HButtons without .NET, you can install it from cab and setup it manually using registry editor.
For Notify and flags use sum of numbers for options you want. for example notify=5 means vibrate and display name
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HButton]
Delay : DWORD [I]delay in ms between applications start. (Optional, Deafult 500)[/I]
Notify : DWORD [I]type of notification. 1 - vibrate, 2 - Beep, 4 - display name. (Optional, default 1)[/I]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HButton\Button1]
flags : DWORD [I]flags for this button. 1 for cycle thru apps, 2 for notify even first app, 4 custom delay. (Optional, default 0)[/I]
Delay : DWORD [I]delay in ms between for this button. Only when custom delay is set. (Optional)[/I]
NItems : DWORD [I]number of applications assigned to HButton1[/I]
Item0 : STRING [I]first application[/I]
Item0_name : STRING [I]displayed name of first application. (Optional)[/I]
Item0_param : STRING [I]Parameters of first application. (Optional)[/I]
Item1 : STRING [I]second application[/I]
Item1_name : STRING [I]displayed name of second application. (Optional)[/I]
Item1_param : STRING [I]Parameters of second application. (Optional)[/I]
…
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HButton\Button2]
[I].. same for others buttons[/I]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HButton\ButtonT]
flags : DWORD [I]flags for task. same as other flags + 8 for show next application + 16 for first item is last opened application. (Optional, default 8)[/I]
Delay : DWORD [I]same as for buttons[/I]
Special applications:
#t - <Today> (i.e. Item0="#t" )
#o - <Ok/Close>
#q - <Quit>
#w - <Start Menu>
#c - <Clock> (*_name must be set to "<Clock>")
#b - <Back>
Cycling
Hello there.
Its a nice tool. Thanks for that.
What about to cycle through defined applications till the button is released? If I do miss the application which I want to launch - it launches the last defined application. I do think there should be the way how to "cancel" the launching at all or something like this.
Sincerely David

Thanks for remark.
My idea was to start last application immediately, when there is no application left – if you have two applications assigned to one button, second will run exactly after 500ms(or delay you have set).
In your situation, there is necessary to release button in proper time.
But I think, that it could be added as possibility – so user can choose, if
- it will works like now
- it will cycle thru defined applications
- last application will be "CANCEL". (or combination with previous one)
It unfortunately fails to install on my smartphone (VOX).
Can you build a version for smartphone?
Thanks!
Smartphone
I can't promise anything, because I have no experiences with Smartphones.
But I will try to compile it.
I have found the problem of missing the app I want to be a nag as well. As dmisek said, if you have 5 apps assigned to a button and you miss the app you want, you have to take one of the following.
As a quick work around, I created a link to the today screen and added it to the last app of each button. So, the worst case there is that if I miss my intended app, I will at least go back to the today screen.
As a suggestion for a fix, I would probably say to have the apps loop over and over in the list. I would also suggest adding a "Cancel" like you said in the list.

As I said before, I have no smartphone. There is some version, but not tested. Use it at your's own risk.
Vibration is not vorking - I used functions that doesn't exists on smartphones. If everythink else will work, I will try to find substitute for this functions.
hopes that help
Hundera
Hundera: Thanks for your time. Unfortunately it still doesn't install ("The installation file is not intended for this device").
The WM6 standard edition on my VOX smartphone doesn't have a button changer in the settings menu.
Does anyone know which executable is responsible for this on a PPC?
Alternatively can anyone provide me the registry keys?
Thx!
Maybe smartphone has no button to map.
On PocketPC it is store in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\.
There are keys 40Cx for buttons...
If you havn't these keys, app will not work...
I've got one regkey 40C1 (voice record button) and that's exactly the button I'd like to use with HButton.
Can you write down the steps to install your app manually?
(files and reg keys)
Oh btw, is it the ResetCmd value in 40C1 key I need to change?
Currently it's set to "\Windows\AppButtons\Record.lnk -b"
Hi,
there are two exe files.
HBSetup is for settings HButtons. If it doesn't work, see post with registry description.
Into reg key "Default" add path to HButton with param 1 (or what HButton you will set).
for example "\Program Files\HButton\HButton.exe 1"
ResetCmd is origin value. It's not neccessary to change it.
Bad luck. I can't start button.exe in any way. Not via the 40c1 hw key and neither from fexplore.
I manually created the HButton reg key and the made the change to the 40C1 reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HButton]
"Delay"=dword:000001f4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HButton\Button1]
"Item0"=""\Storage Card\Tools\Fakecursor\Fakecursor.exe""
"NItems"=dword:00000001
=============================================
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C1]
@=""\Storage Card\Tools\HButton\Button.exe" 1"
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Icon"="hotvoice.exe, 0"
"ResetCmd"=""\Windows\AppButtons\Record.lnk" -b"
=============================================
If I press the hw button it starts the voice tag recorder as usual.
Any clue?
Thx for your patience
Did you try HBSetup? works?
Settings in registry looks fine.
What Button.exe does, when you run it from fexplorer? Nothing, or throw some error?

unexpected error (NotSupportedException).
This is because I'm not running .NET 2.0

This one will work... hopefully
Yes, it runs fine from fexplorer
But ... it doesn't start when pressing the voice record button
So close ...
Does HTC do something different with the HW keys on Smartphones
strange...
What voice record button does? Start recording as default or do nothing?
If start recording - try to rewrite another reg value in this registry key. Maybe ResetCmd?
If it do nothing - try to write only "\Storage Card\Tools\HButton\Button.exe" into "Default" key, without param 1.

After pressing the button it beeps 3 times and first opens a window "Alert Speak after the audio prompt" followed for a short time by a window "Recognizing Voice Tag" where it says "there is no trained voice tag" and then exits. I never used this application and don't know yet how it works.
If start recording - try to rewrite another reg value in this registry key. Maybe ResetCmd?

Tried both, but to no avail
Perhaps I have to play around with reg keys like :MSVOICE or :MSHOTVOICE in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai
No ideas :-(
I am using gdb for dumping core file for an android process. I am running gdbserver on the device on tcp port and gdb client on the desktop. When i do gcore on client i get the below error. Does any one know why i'm getting this error ? any help much appreciated.
(gdb) gcore
Command not implemented for this target.
The reason i'm doing this to dump process memory and extract Classes.dex file from the memory using core file. I've tried doing this using /proc/pid/mem and proc/pid/maps and dump memory but that has too many mapped regions , i couldn't find the area where the Classes.dex file is. Any other alternate approach is also welcome. Thanks for your help
You can use GameGuardian for this. Need root.
Memory editor tab - menu - memory dump - input 0-0 as range and folder - press ok - wait for toast `Dump end`.
Go to selected folder - open maps file - search needed odex in regions - remember start address of region - open GameGuardian - menu - memory dump - input remembered address in both field as range - press ok - wait for toast `Dump end`.
Now you have in your folder `.bin` file with dumped odex file.
Here some video examples how to do this:

Hello,
After a long time looking ways to root the You 25, I've found the right way to do it.
The You 25 is very similar to Micromax A51, as some users suggested. It is based on broadcom cpu.
Quick characteristics: gb 2,3,7, 256Mb ram, 256Mb rom, 2Gb Sdcard, dual sims, 3g ....
On Win7: Disable antivirus
1) Download unlockroot23
2) Execute unlockroot23
3) Two items:
- execute install driver
- You 25ower off; take off batteryand back ; connect You 25 usb cable to the pc; wait driverdetection (popup tells adb installed or something similar); poweron you25; set it in debug mode and unknown source checked (in settings applications menu) ...
4) Execute unlookroot.exe
2 panes popup opens:
- Click on ROOT (in green) item on the left pane,
- Click on the detected You25 item on the right pane;
Normally rooting is executed (the root button greys on);
Once finished, the You25 reboots (I d'ont remember exactly ...)
After reboot, check for SuperSu icon is there.
Check su with terminal, should ask su access to SuperSu.
Thanks to forii, which I haven't bookmarked. Just in case: Browse with search " Micromax a51 root".

Tecmobile you25: Fixing vulnerabilities (trying)
Hello,
After the rooting, I try to fixmaster key vulnerabilities.
With the forii help ,many thanks to them, I come up with a solution:
- Install bluebox from Google play;
- Install Xposed framework for Gingerbread 2.3 (Xposedinstaller-2.2-2013005.apk (1.25Mb)) from androidforums.com);
- Install Master key fix (support Gingerbread) me.piebridge.masterkeyfixgb_v2-0d0824.apk from Xposed module repository repo.xposed.info
Once setup Xposed and install the module, running bluebox shows all fixed.
I've browsed through other threads that look to have promising titles but to no avail.
I;ve got a remote-contol that has a dedicated "Kodi" button. I want to remap this to open SPMC instead. can anyone help me achieve this please?
************************************************************************************************
FURTHER INFO
***********************************************************************************
I've replaced kodi with the latest spmc fork instead and now the dedicated remote button does nothing,
I've ran "getevent" over a rooted ADB shell and have found the relevent entry in the ".kl" file (for me it is key 394 on aml_keypad. on /dev/input/event0 018c).
The file I found with the entry is Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl and key 394 is mapped to "KODI" (Can I simply edit KODI to say SPMC16 and have it work? is this call to KOD,I a script hidden further in the file system that causes kodi to execute?)
Hi,
Since IE is gone I'm looking for a way to access my cctv, which requires activeX plugin to work.
Anybody had any luck getting it to work in IE mode or found some other workaround?
Managed to get it to work using Group policies and Enterprise Mode site list.
Seamless and fully working, at least with my CCTV ActiveX plugin.
Requirements:
Group Policy Templates: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download
Enterprise mode site list manager https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49974
Unpack templates and copy msedge.admx and corresponding language files for your version of windows to C:/WIndows/PolicyDefinitions
Run Site List Manager and add urls to automatically load in IE mode. Options that worked for me are:
Open in: MS EDGE,
Standalone IE DISABLED,
Allow Redirect ENABLED,
Compat Mode: IE11 Document mode
File -> Save to XML
#DISCLAIMER#
playing with above values might result in Edge going into loop of rapid crashes and restarts, stealing focus from other apps and requiring log out/reboot to kill. Happened to me several times until I found combination that works.
run gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Edge
find Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List, enable it, and set path to your xml file containing sites you want to run in IE mode
example: file:///c:/Users/[Your User Account]/Documents/iemode.xml
enjoy ActiveX and other deprecated stuff in Edge.

I followed your fancy guide but one thing does not work yet. Sometimes (especially in CCTV) ActiveX needs a right to write on HDD. E.g.: Saving snapshot or recorded video from NVR. Previously it could be resolved by starting IE as an administrator. (Right-click, run as admin). But now even I can run Edge as admin it seems privileges don't inherit to IE. So IE mode can save nothing to HDD.
Any idea is appreciated.
