[Q] Help! Need to disable capacitive buttons! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have two young girls ages 6 month and almost 3 years who love to play with my EVO. There are great games to keep them occupied (mostly my older daughter).
The problem is she keeps accidentially pressing the capacitive buttons and messes up the game or learning app.
I know that Calkulin disabled the search button on his rom so I know at least that button can be disabled. Does anyone know if the others could be temporary disabled? Since its nearly impossible to accidentally press the volume button I was thinking maybe that could be a way to turn this feature on and off once the capacitive killer was running.
I bet a lot of parents would love this app.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

Same!
Dear All,
I have the exact same requirement. If someone can do this, or point us to the right direction, it will be greatly appreciated by all Android owners who are parents.

Its not an app but if you really need to disable these buttons (Semi-permanently) then go into the rom.zip and edit "/system/usr/keylayout/supersonic-keypad.kl" in Notepad or Textedit. Comment out (put a # before) key 217, key 158, key 139, and key 102. I can make a flashable zip to do this, however I have no experience in android programming so I couldn't make an app. Send me a PM if you want a flashable zip for it. I'll make both a do and undo zip.

+1 This option would be nice......

anything on this? anything at all? Something tells me my 2 year old won't patiently wait while i update files manually... thanks for the tip though, i'm going to give it a try!

Very stupid question

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

[Q] Physical key remap - is this even possible?

Is it possible to remap the search button so that it hangs-up while you are in a call? I find it extremely frustrating, especially when driving, to have to look at my phone to press the vurtual "hang-up" button on the screen - oh how I miss my Touch HD
I have read about physical key remap here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683902&highlight=remap but there is no indication that what I am looking for is possible.
What would it take to make such a hack? Would it be possible with an app or does it take a custom ROM to do the trick? Does the phone need to be rooted?
Thanx all!
very interested too
Does anyone have an answer on this? Do you think it is impossible?

wow i guess i have to look further but i am looking for the same thing for the mytouch4g. if anyone has a fix please pm me! thanks!
With CM you can end or answer calls pressing the trackball, so its possible to remap keys. It's really usefull sometimes when you call anyone by mistake and display turns off while trying to hang up
there is a app in the market called key mapper or something similar that does this and for 64p its not bad.
also you edit the rom de-compile it edit etc = hard work lol
you can definetly remap keys but you need to be rooted otherwise you cannot.
i would like to answer using a hard key.
has any solution been found?
I just found this: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/remap-reassign-your-android-devices-keys-with-buttonremapper/
Will try it out and let you know
Thanks. It works

specify an app after long pressed on home button

I think it`s very useful to show other stuff instead of recent apps only. I can adjust brightness and sound volumn on an ipad. any suggested apps for customizing the home key behaviour?
Install a decent launcher like LauncherPro then you can have it open whatever you want.
Not long-press, it's a core OS function.
@theOP: you may not be able to change the function of a long-press like iOS but, unlike iOS, you can change the function of a short-press, so it kinda evens out.
google should have open it to other apps for replacing or adding new stuff, just like the home screen....
Hi,
I dont like opening older posts, but better than post another new one...
So I undestood, that a home long-press is not possible to redirect as another button (e.g. Search) or to execute some bash scripts?
I am still looking for some task switcher on hw button dependend and with posibility to call it from everywhere (all tas managers using search button, which is not present on X10i). Currently I am using PreHome with home doubleclick, but it is not so good as long press could be...
Or - one question - is it possible to redirect long press on Back button? I Know, that on Camera is this possible...

[Q] Open ICS Keyboard

In pre-ICS versions of Android, the keyboard could be opened by holding the menu button. Is there any equivalent for this functionality in ICS?
When I need the keyboard it is either there or i just tap on the place I need to enter text and it appears. Can you detail the scenario where its not appearing so I can test it and see if I can get a solution.

I am researching with HTML5 games/apps. I wanted to see if I could use the keyboard keys in a game. The game seems to by loading and running, but I can't get it started without pressing particular keys. I don't know if the keyboard would even target the game. I realize that is wouldn't be fun to play with an android keyboard. I was more interested in how the game/graphics/code ran on the android browser.
Ahh I see well this is a bit beyond me at the moment as I am just starting out in development side but I have found this http://www.androidguys.com/2009/11/12/how-to-showhide-soft-keyboard-programmatically-dev-tips-tools/

[GUIDE] [FIXES BOTH: ICS & JB] ~~~ Phantom menu keypress EASY FIX!!! ~~~

[BACKGROUND]
Hey guys, if you have been experiencing "phantom keypress" of the menu key, this guide is for you. I bought my SII the first week it came out for Boost and I've been dealing with this defect since the second day I had my phone. It is most definitely a physical problem with the phone, and if you've got it you know it can be extremely frustrating at times. I've never felt like sending back my phone for warranty service so the phantom keypress problem has just never gone away. Until now!
This guide is easier than it is long! It really is easy!
[SUMMARY]
PURPOSE:
You will disable your faulty menu key and turn your search key into your new menu key. You will no longer have a search key, however, you will no longer experience phantom menu keypresses.
STEP 0: SKIP THIS ENTIRE GUIDE and send your phone back to Samsung if it's:
a. Still under warranty
b. Non-rooted with stock ROM
c. And you don't mind sending your phone back to Samsung for repair or possible replacement with a refurb.
d. Especially if it's also producing phantom SEARCH keypresses!
STEP 1: Ensure phone is rooted (NOTE: This will probably void your warranty.)
STEP 2: Backup: /system/usr/keylayout/.
STEP 3a: (ICS BUILDS ONLY!) Modify: /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl
STEP 3b: (ICS BUILDS ONLY!) Modify: /system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touchkey.kl
STEP 3c: (JB BUILDS ONLY!) Modify: /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
STEP 4: Revert file permissions to: rw-r--r-- (644)
STEP 5: Reboot!
[STEP 1]
IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE LATEST ANDROID "ICE CREAM SANDWICH" BUILD:
If you do not already have root, try pushing "SuperSU" to your phone using the "Frodo" exploit in Framaroot. The Framaroot APK is available for download below and will root your ICS phone without having to flash any kind of ROM or kernel.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING AN EARLIER ANDROID "ICE CREAM SANDWICH" BUILD:
Framaroot will probably work to root your phone, however, you can definitely root your phone through the "Exynos" exploit in ExynosAbuse. The ExynosAbuse APK is available for download below and will root your (EARLIER BUILD) ICS phone without having to flash any kind of ROM or kernel.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING AN ANDROID "JELLY BEAN" BUILD:
Framaroot probably won't root your phone, but an updated version might. Until then I don't know of an exploit that will root your phone without having to flash some kind of ROM or kernel. If you're running JB then I hope your phone is already rooted, and when I learn of an exploit that works I'll try to update the guide again and post it.
Download: Framaroot APK @ forum.xda-developers.com
Download: ExynosAbuse APK @ forum.xda-developers.com
(Once you install the APK on your phone, run the program, then root. Wait about 10 seconds, and you will have a superuser dialog pop up and you're done! Excellent!!! I recommend downloading Busybox from the Play market sometime afterwards.)
[STEP 2]
This step is optional/recommended. How to backup your current keylayout folder:
I use ES File Explorer for this (ES File Explorer has a built-in text editor and you're going to need one of those for step 3). Now that you have working root, open up ES File Explorer, go into the Settings, then under "Root settings" at the bottom, make sure the 3 checkboxes at the top are checked (including "Mount File System" or you won't be able to change anything). Then, go to /system/usr/ and longpress the keylayout folder, then "Copy to" and select a location on your sdcard or external. After a second or two the folder should be copied successfully.
Of course, if you use a better backup method, do that. If you accidentally render your softkeys useless, the previous backup method might not actually do you too much good. Stick with the guide and your phone should be just fine.
[STEP 3a - (ICS BUILDS ONLY!)]
Now for the fun part! What you're going to do now is disable the current menu key, and replace the function of the search key with that of the menu key. What that means is when you press search, you'll get menu, and when you press menu, nothing will happen. And when menu key phantom presses itself, nothing will happen (huzzah)! Now if you're very fond of the search key you'll have to make a decision - keep the search key AND the phantom keypress defect; or drop search, make search do menu, and eliminate this freaking headache. I personally never use the search key, so getting rid of its function is not a big deal at all. Here's how to patch the first file:
So once keylayout is backed up on your sdcard, open the keylayout folder in ES File Explorer (with root enabled), and long-press sec_touchkey.kl (this is the file that assigns functions to the capacitive keys), then click "Open as" followed by "Text". I recommend opening the file with "ES Note Editor" (which is included with ES File Explorer). Then you should see the following default assignments:
Code:
key 158 BACK WAKE
key 139 MENU WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
Now that you have it open, make the following edits to:
/system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl
Code:
key 158 BACK
#key 139 MENU
key 102 HOME
key 217 MENU
You MUST use an octothorpe # to comment out the line for key 139 or this fix will NOT work!!!
As you'll see, the menu key was deleted and the search key became the new menu key. Also, the softkeys no longer wake the OS (this is my personal preference). Save the file and you're done with step 3a!
[STEP 3b - (ICS BUILDS ONLY!)]
In FI22 this step appears to be optional - but I do it anyway!! Make the exact same edits to:
/system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touchkey.kl
Code:
key 158 BACK
#key 139 MENU
key 102 HOME
key 217 MENU
You MUST use an octothorpe # to comment out the line for key 139 or this fix will NOT work!!!
Save the file and you're almost done! Skip to STEP 4.
[STEP 3c - (JB BUILDS ONLY!)]
If you're running Android "Jelly Bean" then you might have noticed that you don't have the two files listed above. No matter; you can still apply this fix! Go into /system/usr/keylayout/ and, using the exact same method described in step 3a, you're going to modify:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
First, find the line that begins with:
Code:
key 139 MENU
and use an octothorpe # to comment it out so it doesn't create this key assignment at boot:
Code:
#key 139 MENU
Second, find the line that says:
Code:
key 217 SEARCH
and edit it to read:
Code:
key 217 MENU
(NOTE: HiredxGunz at AndroidForums was kind enough to provide a pastebin text dump of the completed modified Generic.kl file, that you can download from his tutorial on implementing this fix in JB.)
Third, save the file and you're almost done!
[STEP 4]
FOR EVERY FILE THAT YOU HAVE JUST MODIFIED:
You will need to ensure that the correct permissions have been set. From my experience, in ICS, edited file permissions had been reset to rw-rw-rw- (666), so if this is the case then STEP 4 isn't strictly necessary. HOWEVER, on the JB build I am running, after editing the file its permissions had been reset to rw------- (600). I did not realize this had happened when I did it, and then after I rebooted none of the softkeys worked - I was able to fix the permissions without resetting the phone but it was a big annoyance. A special thanks to HiredxGunz for pointing out the permissions issue.
Here's how to reset the permissions back to rw-r--r-- (644):
a. Long press on the file in ES File Explorer until the context menu for the file appears.
b. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and select "Properties".
c. Next to "Permissions:" will be a button labelled "Change". Click it.
d. To set the file back to default rw-r--r--, make sure all three "read" boxes are ticked, as well as the "write" box for "user".
e. Select "OK" and verify that the file's permissions are rw-r--r-- (644).
f. Repeat substeps a-e on the next file, if applicable.
[STEP 5]
Reboot your phone and kiss your phantom menu keypress defect goodbye!!!
You may still experience a very, very minor issue where the phone hardware continues to register the phantom menu keypresses - even though this key is no longer associated with any action. You will know that this is happening because the other softkeys (home, back, and menu/search) will lock up and stop functioning temporarily, and if you use the touch key lights function they will stay on for as long as the phantom keypress is active. This is a much, much better problem to have than the original phantom keypress issue! If your softkeys do lock up you can either wait it out, or turn the screen off and immediately on again (this always works), or sometimes you can kick the other softkeys back on by simply pressing the original menu key (the one which you disabled using this tutorial).
Please let me know if any part of this guide helps you out, thank you and enjoy!

Up until very recently I wasn't even aware that I own a Samsung Epic 4G Touch since it says "GALAXY S II" on the back cover. This tutorial was written four months ago on androidforums and I wanted you guys to be aware of it, so I have done my best to put it where it goes. If it goes somewhere else then that's where it goes instead, just as long as it's somewhere where people will find it.
This fix has improved my phone experience by orders of magnitude; I just want as few people as possible to have to deal with the phantom menu keypress error. It really sucks if you've got it.

Don't blame me; I'm new here. I really like that other website, where there is a specific forum for my exact phone and carrier, distinct from the other forums for my exact phone but with different carriers. There is no Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 forum here, which is why when I did write up this tutorial four months ago I knew for a fact it was in the right place (on the other website). This website here definitely has a lot of really smart folks and great resources but it's arranged confusingly. If somebody had told me last month that I owned a Samsung Epic Touch 4g I would have told them, "No I don't, it says 'GALAXY S II' right there on the back cover." So until you get a Galaxy S2 forum, this thread will never be in the right place on xda-developers.com. Move it wherever you want and it'll still be in the wrong place. But at least as of now it is available here. Hopefully it will be considered useful wherever you put it.

It is not confusing to be here. The Boost mobile SII is the Epic 4g touch with a very slight difference in the model number, so we don't need an extra section to clutter up the forum. Reading will get you far, but willful ignorance will leave you blind.

Graydiggy is right. I have a Boost variant, and it took me all of about 2 seconds to realize it was an E4GT. Might have had something to do with the name under "model" in phone info saying sph-d710bst, with the bst simply referring to the fact it's put out by Boost. I'm a noob and managed to figure that out. No need to clog the forum, just take the time to read. :beer: to ya Gray, as if you need it. I know your polishing off that case you had!

Interesting that the Boost Mobile stock roms have the softkey assignments in generic.kl as well as the other files, but that key 139 set to MENU in generic.kl doesn't cause the phone to register this function even when you delete the key 139 assignments from the files listed in the tutorial. It's as if generic.kl isn't used at all on the stock roms.

I'm sorry I didn't realize I was breaking any rules by posting a tutorial in this forum.

I manage...I love tinkering with this phone, flashing ROMs it's virtually indestructible and lucky for me, not easy to hard brick. It only does it in really weak signal areas(my office, grrr). I am holding out until Sept when I can dump this one on my wife and get a new one . She'll never brew on it enough to be the wiser!

I have just updated the guide to support both ICS and JB. Enjoy.
Thanks for giving credit. (This is hiredxgunz by the way)

Bumping this to the top as it is a very useful post.
I lost my volume up button recently (cleaning it did no good, the phone thinks it is depressed when it is not and it is causing all sorts of issues) so had to comment out the volume up line to prevent the phone from monitoring the faulty hardware button.

Ok I'm trying to completely disable my power button because any time it gets pressed it reboots the phone now. I have every POWER WAKE line disabled in Generic.kl but I'm not sure what brings up the power menu... Any ideas?
