HTC EVO 4G :: Remap Keys On The Front?
Jun 15, 2010Is there a way or a program to remap the keys on the front? It would be great to be able to double press or hold down and have shortcuts to other programs.

I have successfully rooted and installed recovery and enjoying the few custom roms, then suddenly I installed S3 i9305 rom didn't got the success, then install philz recovery URL.... and installed slim rom from Note 2 section URL.... 6 and then after appearing docomo logo black screen, then I put it on Download mode and installed stock rom but now touch not working. How can i access to this ? Its never happened in my life after installing so many roms in so many devices. And also Black Button key is not working, How I can remap all this ?
Also tired *#2663# but nothing is happening instead after connecting through otg cable with mouse then its come to the home screen? I have tried *#0*# each and everything is working but except the touch and also my keys switch to another.
Looking to remap my home key, and my menu and back soft keys on my s3. I've looked at editing scripts, and even Xposed modules for this and here is what I found.
I can remap my keys manually, but I cannot map them to open an application.
With Gravity Box Module, I can map the applications to launch on a double press or a long press.
Here is what I want to do with a single tap.
[MENU SOFT KEY] [HOME KEY] [BACK SOFT KEY]
Open Phone Open search Open Camera
Is there an xposed module for this?
I reecntly bought a Rapoo BT keyb (E6300), it is optimized for the Apple products therefore some keys do not behave as i wish with my Nexus S.
I'd like to find out how (as per title) remap the keys or at least find out Vendor and Product ID...
so, using this command from the terminal: cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I discovered that my KB has Vendor=099a Product=0500.
Now I'm gonna build a custom Keyboard layout, should i create a keyCharacterMap as well?
well, after some more digging, i think i won't need to make a KCM. Still i can't find a way to let my Keyb to use my keyboardlayout. According to catalog it still uses the generic.kl even if in the right directory a file with the keyboard name exists...
I'd like to remap some of the keys on the PHYSICAL keyboard. For example, I've never inserted a smiley in a message and don't intend to start now, so remaping the dedicated smiley key to something useful would be productive.

This api http://d.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html... gets close but is related to the keyboard and not the front facing keys.
KeyEvent [url]has a FLAG_VIRTUAL_HARD_KEY flag, I can only detect that after the key is pressed. I'd like to find out what type of buttons the user has without asking the user to press a key first.
I would have expected such an api to be under [url] but android.hardware has very little info about the actual hardware of the device."
For those making roms for the HTC One series, could you re-re-map the hardware buttons so that the recent apps button pulls up the recent apps (normal ics behavior), and then a long press on the recent apps button maps to the menu button?
My reasoning, is eventually, the "menu" button is something that will get obsoleted, so mapping it as a secondary action (i.e. long press) is a better approach than the current mapping on some of the Roms out there (like cm9). Personally, I'm not a fan of long-presses, so I prefer it for functions I hardly use (like menu).
As for the Gs3, I recommend mapping the 'menu' button to the 'recent apps', and a long press to the menu function (instead of long pressing the home button for recent apps). Again, my reasoning is, when the menu button, eventually gets obsoleted, it becomes pointless having the physical menu button do nothing.
I am on MIUI ROM and I love Xposed ! [emoji5]. But a lot are not totally compatible with MIUI, like mod for remap button...or insert emoticon (emoji) in stock message app. How to manage it ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhile messing around earlier, i figured a few things out. its always bugged me that the Eris didnt have a dedicated Camera button. So i decided to just remap the Search softkey-i rarely use it anyways.
flash from recovery, it works on any rom.
This makes a long press on the Search softkey pull up the Camera. and yes...you can remap other keys to do other things too, but this is just the only one i thought was needed.
I downloaded and installed the Lock 2.0 free trial program. Upon install, when I clicked on the "Home" button on my Samsung Moment, a pop appeared with 3 choices:
Complete Action Using:
1) Home (go to home)
2) Lock icon (meaning to lock the phone) - also with a warning - do not use this as default - you had (sic) been warned.
3) a checkbox to use either choice 1 or 2 as the default always.
This made me curious. First of all if I accidentally remapped the Home button the Lock app, how would I be able to remap it to the default "Home" action? Looked in settings and do not see how I can remap Home button. I don't like how a 3rd part app can intercept the Home button and yet I can't figure out how to undo the damage if I accidentally remapped the Home button to the 3rd party app. Anyone here know if this is possible to restore the Home button if you mess up and a 3rd party app maps it by default?
the remapCoordinateSystem method remaps the axis for sensor readings, but I want to remap the coordinate system to any angle, for example: new coordinate system is say relative to earth's coordinate system, 20 degrees clockwise to earth's X axis, and 10 degrees to earth's Y axis, while Z is derived from X and Y axis.

I just managed to remap my broken power button to my volume up button, so I am able to lock/unlock the screen. The problem is that it's still not possible to turn on the phone with the volumen button (shutdown/run out of battery). I changed the gpio-keys.kl and Generic.kl file for remapping.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have any insight on how or even if this could be done. I don't see why it couldn't be done but from what I see it seems pretty locked up and I have nooo idea how to get into it.

View 12 Replies View RelatedBut I find myself endlessly annoyed by the placement of the Voice Control button on the side of the phone. This button's placement is absolutely perfect for accidentally pushing it with your thumb or fingers when you're on a call, or when holding the phone in either portrait or landscape mode. I dont use voice control. Even if I did, I'd want it to turn on when I decided to use it. I've searched the Phone Settings; I've searched these forums; I've searched the Android Marketplace. Short of cracking the case and physically removing the button
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to remap the Hardware back button to toggle screen rotation? (I'm on 4.1.1 with root).
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy new LG G2. It has this shortcut if you long press volume up/down it starts quick memo/camera. But quick memo is useless for me I'd rather love to start a widget (a tasker task). I tryed several app's and xposed framework modules but I can't get a Widget working with the remapping.
How to remap the volume up hardware button to a tasker task widget?
I means when you rotate the screen show to 90 degree,Then the coordinate system should also make an corresponding rotate[ (x,y) should change to (y,x)],To make touch event works correctly.

Anyway regarding the calendar, when I want to forward an event I have to use the stock email app, the gmail app is not an option. So is there anyway to setup the stock email as exchange so that it will push my ISP mail. I'm on a Rezound if that makes a difference.
So far i've only seen amber, yellow, and green. I might have seen red but i'm not sure... I've never seen it flash blue. What are the colors it can flash?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have recently seen quite a few people on here looking for an easy way to access the front camera. Search the market (or Google) for an app called Mirror 4 Evo. periodically do a market search for Evo and you will find some good apps. Some made for the evo and some will tell you if they work on the evo or not.

When testing it out with a friend being in the same place, I could see him clearly but he couldn't see me. We were standing next to each other in the same kind of light (street light at night). I could see me on his phone but it was very dark and it was more of the background light, i don't get it i thought that the Evo front camera was better than the iphone 4's front cam?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm currently a Desire owner and contemplating pre-ordering the Desire HD. The deciding point for me is if it has a forward facing camera or not...
Nowhere on the internet mentions a forward facing camera. HTC, when I emailed them, stated the phone does not support video calls, however I then sent an email saying it looked like it had a forward facing camera on the earpiece and they replied to confirm that yes, it was a forward facing camera.
Looking at the pictures of the Desire HD, at the top right of the earpiece / speaker you can see a small object that looks like a forward facing camera.
Despite the email from HTC I'm still sceptical because it's not been mentioned anywhere else, including on their own specs on their website.
