I tried a day and found it thanks
Hi!
I `ve got a problem - power button in my ACE2 is down. It`s most likely hardware problem. So that, I want to use the warranty.
But I cannot, due to custom ROM inside.
So that`s where my question come from - how can I install stock ROM on my device? So far, I can`t use ODIN - because I can`t enter DOWNLOAD MODE (no power button = no power menu = no key`s combination)
I see two options:
- an app that go`es to download mode from the interface - any help would do, I cannot find anything in the G.Play
- changing hard keys mapping (f.e. vol up could replace power) - is that possible at all?
I`ve already learned, that hard keys mapping location is in:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
and mapping looks like this:
key 142 POWER WAKE
key 143 POWER WAKE
key 152 POWER WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP
So what can I do to replace this two keys?
Problem solved:
File changed:
system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
Mapping:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
Replacing VOLUME_UP with POWER works just fine.
i've tried disabling system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl
# key 102 MOVE_HOME
# key 127 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
# key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
# key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED
# key 172 HOME
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but still the physical back button is working
PS: using stock rom and mi-pop
also deleted qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build prop
As I don't like the default button layout, I enabled the on-screen buttons and disabled the hardware buttons.
In case someone wants to do that, too, I thought I just post the instructions here:
1) Enable on-screen buttons
Edit the file /system/build.prop and add the following line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
2) Disable hardware buttons
Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/ft5x06.kl and comment out the following lines:
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
#key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
#key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL
3) Reboot
Tested with CM11. Not sure if this would work on MIUI.
Thanks @chris5s and several other forum users. I know that there are a couple of similar posts for other phones. But I still hope this is helpful so that Redmi 1S users don't have to look in another place.
system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl file
key 139 MENU
replace with: key 139 APP_SWITCH
in this way opens the recent apps menu button. but I want you to open the menu long pressed the menu key. What can I do for it?
I've tried it, the keys did not work:
key 139 APP_SWITCH
key 139 MENU WAKE
