[Q] Modded Hardware Keyboard layout - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Virtous Sense ROM and i'm very pleased with it.
I find the user buttons on the hardware keyboard pretty useless.
Is there anybody here who modded these keys to be something else?
I'm mainly looking for someone who made button 1 a 'close' button. button 2 doesn't really matter to me.
Anyone out there who wants to share this?
(i tried to read into it myself but found i little bit out of my legeau)
Thanks in advance!
Grtz

map the camera button to a hardware key

Hi all,
Just like to be able to use a hardware key instead of a touchscreen button for the dhd, I'm on 2.2 on coredroid which I love, I like the normal HTC camera app but i loathe the lack of a hardware key dedicated to the camera (not good HTC)
So does anyone have any idea how I / we can map either up or down on the volume to the take a picture button?
Thanks and I hope someone can help, a zip or apk would be fantastic.
Cheers.
+1 for hardware button camera shots
so far i know, you can do this with cyanogen firmware.
You should go for Cm7 but its a non sense rom

Stop apps via long press back button

Hey guys I really like my sense rom but the only feature that I'm really missing is the long press to kill apps thats it on cm6/7 is there anyway I can port that feature over to a sense rom? I searched everywhere and cant find any answers. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Quick question about ICS hardware and software buttons

I'm just curious from those of you who flashed, how is ICS implemented? There was some criticism of ICS replacing the 'menu' button and removing hardware buttons. Do the leaked rom builds use 'software' buttons also or are those functions coded to our hardware buttons (this is my assumption). Does the hardware menu button do anything (i.e. is it linked to 'menus' in apps still?)...how do you feel with the changes in 'search' button functionality in ICS?
I'm hoping to install the ROM myself soon and take a look but don't have the time now and was hoping someone could provide quick thoughts on these issues (I haven't found any reviews or discussions related to this...)
Thanks for any thoughts

Lol why don't you flash and find out =0 jk lol no the factory buttons are still in use I believe only new ICS phones from niw on will have on screen buttons everything as far as hardware buttons work normally only thing different is screenshot is home and volume down
Yeah, i tried to pre-empt that suggestion obviously thanks for feedback, i guess im just gonna have to try it and find out what software isnt working and how search and menu are integrated into the OS and apps. Im not really thrilled with what they did with the buttons going forward actually...we'll see. thanks

Disabling Hard Keys

Hi!
Since today I have a problem which makes my lovely old Desire useless. It seems like the home key is always pressed, so I cant use it.
I disassembled the whole telephone piece by piece following this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXZqIjtFoAU and cleaned it but no luck.
There's any chance I can disable hard keys and use some rom with softkeys enabled?
Thx in advance
i'm using Sandvold's ICS with a patch from mattman for softkeys. and i'm very satisfied with it.

just search/read the whole CM9 thread
But in my case "?" and "sym" buttons on the slide-out keyboard still not working even after applying of this patch.
