Discussion: Disabling or changing the PTT button on the tilt

"I would like to change the PTT button to voice dial, so far i havent found anyway to do this ive looked at stock options, kaiser tweaks, Advance config tools, H button and none of them offer that. does anyone have a way to change this or a program that will allow me to switch that button. I would like to change the PTT button since i dont use that program, but i would be happy with using a press and hold on the PTT button or the Side OK button.
Thanx for the info "

"To do this, you need a registry editor program. Something like PHM Registry Editor is free. Then you need to do the following:

1. Goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
2. Add a new key and name it 40C6.
3. In that key, create a string and call it Button 6
4. Add another new key and name it 40C7
5. In that key, create a string and call it Button 6 (Press & Hold)
6. Goto HKLM\Services\
7. Delete the key that's called PTT

After doing all this, exit the registry editor and do a soft reset. When your Tilt restarts, you will be able to goto Start\Settings\Buttons and assigne applications to the PTT button. You will also notice that you can assign actually two apps to that button. A single short press will start one app, and a longer press/hold then release, will start the second app. Please let me know if you have any questions."

"Well, perhaps the directions are not totally correct. When you create the new string values, the name of the string needs to be "Name" and the value "Button 6" or "Button 6 (Press & Hold)". If you don't create a key called "Name", it will just use the generic term Button. The directions imply that the name of the new string should be Button 6, which is not correct.
