Having some troubles with the keymapping on the G2 (Vision) when running Virtuous 0.70 - can anyone test on the stock ROM and verify if they are able to complete key presses to the correctly mapped keys?
There is no way that I am able to find a way to press the ":" key ... this makes it impossible to access "D:" after mounting it.
When pressing ALT + .) I get a forward slash
When pressing ALT + L(/) I get a back slash
When pressing ALT + H(*) I get nothing
When pressing ALT + ,( I get a comma
It looks like most of the other keys work - however it is impossible to change drive letters without a working ":" key and the current keypress to perform ":" yields a /
Any work-a-rounds?
Thanks!

I am using an AT&T Tilt2 with stock ROM. I am not being able to get a key on the hardware keyboard to remap to CTRL.
I have tried manually editing the eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt file (using 0x11 for the value). I have also tried using the Rhodium Keyboard Controller. Neither seem to do the trick. The key I remap (tried OK, home, and several others) stops doing the original function. Instead of what I would expect for CTRL it just does nothing.
For now I have mapped fn-C -> CTRL-C and such, but I would like to get a key to actually map to CTRL.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
I agree.
Bump for more interest please.
Anyway to add CTRL to the stock SIP touch keyboards too?
I miss my Ctrl-A (select all) / Ctrl-C (copy) / Ctrl-V (paste) amongst other common keyboard commands too!

im afraid you will have to flash custom rom to enable ctrl remapping
For the kmap bit did you use the 0x11 as the second value? IE did you change it to something like:
{0xEC 0x11 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00} //example for the FN key remap.
Also make sure to use something like Notepad to modify the file. It needs to be saved as unicode.
If you are on a G2 and using a stock or AOSP-based ROM (eg. CyanogenMod), pressing Alt + Spacebar will bring up a set of punctuations and symbols that you can choose from. This function disappears when you switch to a Sense-based ROM (eg. Virtuous); Alt + Spacebar now brings up the keyboard select settings screen.
Is there any way to bring the Alt + Spacebar function back in a Sense-based ROM? I've tried changing the keymaps but that didn't help, and I've not been able to find any alternative solutions.
I have got my Note II rooted and flashed the Android Revolution HD Rom.
Everything was fine and it worked smoothly.
But after installation of many apps, a problem turned out yesterday:
The menu button function has been mapped to the home button, which means when I pressed the home button, it will detected as menu button instead.
After that, I use the KEY TEST in the CWM Recovery to test the key setting.
I found that the home button is wrongly detected as the menu key. (It returns the same Code 139 when I pressed the two buttons)
the result shown as attached
How can I fixed this problem by reset the hard key map setting?
Please Help
Thanks so much!
Disable Power Button Mod
The flashable mod will ONLY work on the E4GT JB 4.1.2 build please do not use this mod on any other build or phone.
Due to the high failure rate of the power button on our older phones, this is a hardware key mod that will disable the power button on our E4GT phones in JB. This only cuts back on the random power button presses of a failing button while the JB rom is booted. I don't think it disables the long press of the power button to do a soft reset as this is not a ROM feature but a hardware feature built into the phone.
Flash this mod in recovery mode.
Please make certain you have a current backup already saved to your phone.
I will not be responsible if your rom does not boot or has any other issues.

Brief guide:
For our builds this is a simple edit of two files.
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
Place a comment code (#) in front of any line that is still active with the keyword POWER
Example gpio-keys.kl edit
Before:
Code:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
[COLOR="Blue"]key 116 POWER WAKE[/COLOR]
key 172 HOME WAKE
After:
Code:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
[COLOR="Red"]# key 116 POWER WAKE[/COLOR]
key 172 HOME WAKE
Note: This principle should work on other phones & builds but your key files may be slightly different. If you successfully edit your phone & build, please share your experience here with others.
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.
