Here's my problem: ever since I flashed CM7 and tried to tolerate all the FXProject defects (eg. No touchpads for Dead Space, no camera, no haptic feedback /vibration, no flash, etc.), there was one of those defects that really hurt me from inside... the fact that the circle button is treated ONLY as a back button, and not a game button. I'm aware there are files in the internal flash memory that set the phone's key layout (/system/usr/keylayout/) but I'm just to lazy to figure it out so I'll leave the question to the pros on the forum: How to fix it? I bought this phone considering I'm a dedicated gamer (still have a life tho ) and not being able to kick the opponent's face in Bruce Lee and every other kind of silly stuff you could do with this epicness we call Circle button is just pathetic. You could send me the Original stock rom key layout file(s) so I can replace/compare and fix. Thanks in advance
For starters i'm sure FXP is sorry you have to "Tolerate" all his hard work second the O button acts as the back button on stock too. It's just these games are meant to work in conjunction with sony's software. Remove that and replace it with a rom built from source and thats what you get.

Firstly, I somehow understand that part of "remove that and replace it with a rom..." and now the part I didn't understand pretty much, "...built from source". I understand everything has to be compiled from source code to be executed, but as a noob, I simply didn't understand, could you explain?
Secondly, I downloaded an app from the Market called "Xperia Play Test" that showed up what buttons are pressed in the screen and when I press the circle button it appears next to the physical back button showing up as "back", haven't tried yet on stock rom andsee what happens.
Third, I really think fxp did a good job bringing such a nice rom onto the Xperia's, which gives you simple2ext, theme engine, power bar widget and other cool stuffs, which is why I haven't decided yet to revert to stock.
Anyways, just explain that 'rom built from source' thingy please. Thanks

On the pad, the default android actions are X=Ok or select and O=Back, Xperia play optimised games work in conjunction with the sony firmware to ignore the default android action while in a game thus allowing you to use the buttons for game inputs. If you remove the sony software, many of these games can no longer ignore the default android action rendering the O button useless in most cases. This is nothing to do with cyanogen nor can it be fixed as it's not a bug.
"Built from source" just means the rom was compiled from the source code provided by the Android open source project (Asop)

So, basicly, I can't do nothing for it, and while I have cyanogen the O button is rendered useless, unless I use stock? Or is there any other whatnot that can ignore the O button? Or disable the back function so the key is still recognized by the app? I can live without using the O button as a back button.

It dosent happen for every game. For example gameloft games can use the O button no probs. Maybe you can get the results you want with a button mapping app. I think there is one in themes and apps

sorry to resurrect this thread, but this is still a problem, I'm working on a JXD S601 that uses AOSP and I've hit a wall with modifying the qwerty.kl on that device trying to get back/circle to function the same as stock xperia play.
As stated in this thread, the problem is app specific, most operate fine with BACK and others do not, Trying to change it to BUTTON_A (what I determined to be the translated input by viewing the stock qwerty.kl file) does not fix this either.
I have cyanogenmod on my play and I recognize it as a problem on that device as well. Is it possible we can get some assistance looking into what is wrong here?

It is STILL a problem, but this thread will die and nothing will stop that. Sorry.
I already gave up and flashed Stock ROM and with lots of effort I have found nothing on the interwebs that serves as a fix to the O button. That's sad isn't it.
I'm not on CM, but have you tried changing the appropriate keylayout file in /system/usr/keylayout/ from "BACK ALT WAKE_DROPPED" to "BUTTON_B"? Cuz with it set to BUTTON_B, it's still recognized properly in-game on the stock ROM but doesn't act as the "Back" button anymore
You said you tried changing it to BUTTON_A but that's wrong anyway

Nope, square is BUTTON_X and triangle is BUTTON_Y
i meant button_b but regardless, the keylayout is identical to the stock on aosp. I think the problem might be in the kcm binaries rather than the keylaout files. It's a theory I'm looking into

Hey all, I am an iphone convert. Recently purchased the HTC outright. Great phone. Coming from a jailbroken iphone there are a couple of features that I miss. They're not deal breakers but they are really convenient in my opinion..
I love using my phones as a media player. And although there's no equalizer on the desire, I think the quality is pretty good assuming you're using reasonable earphones.
I found an app on cydia for iphone which reassigned my volume rocker.
If I just tap the volume up or down, it changed the volume as normal.
If I hold the volume key up or down, it skipped the track forwards or backwards.
I was hopeful that a developer might see this as a good addition to the Desire and be able to emulate such a function for the volume keys.
Thanks!
Hmm i'm guessing that you don't use the stock headphones with inline controls then. I'm hoping when the device is rooted a lot of hacks should surface. I want to use the optical trackpad press to bring up the lockscreen for instance. And a flashlight app that actually uses the flash and not a bright white screen lol.
nope. Those earphones are way to large for my ears! I can't even fit the buggers in!
But I agree, being able to wake the phone with the trackpad is a must.
Here's hoping sooner rather than later

Excellent idea. There is currently application with proves key rebinding is possible without root (Tasker), unfortunately it doesn't have volume keys and I do not have time now to try implementing a solution for this.
I will personally look into this in a month (extremely busy atm) as a hobby, and hopefully the device will have been rooted by then making this definitely possible. I'm not an amazing dev., but I can hack around to make things work
Went from Dream to iphone, but Android pulled me back with the Desire.
We are all waiting for root indeed! Shouldn't take too long I reckon. It is definately a must to wake up on menu/trackpad or home key. Anyone has some ideas?
No lock also bypasses the lockpattern, too bad. And it looks as if it runs in the background and only turns off the screen. Feels like it wil drain the battery, but maybe I am mistaking.
NoLock is okay, but any key turns the screen on. This could be a pain if it's in your pocket and you accidentally press the volume keys, for instance.
When I had the tweak that allowed me to skip tracks with the volume keys, it took away most of my needs to turn the screen simply to skip tracks. This helped save the battery.
Not only that, it also helps if you are running a different application. You wouldn't need to go back to the home screen to use the widget.
Just a couple more benefits
Hi all,
My 1st post on xda
I'm no developer, and haven't coded anything since ages, but after some digging I think may be possible to implement such a feature.
According to the android developer reference on (sorry, I'm a new user so I can't post links)
KeyEvent
KeyEvent.Callback #onKeyDown
Dialog #onKeyDown
And those forums (search for this on google)
anddev org disable_volume_keys-t10191.html
google groups android developers Long-press hard volume keys
Tell me if I'm wrong, but those links indicate that it is possible to replace the behavior of a key press ("intercepting" it before it gets interpreted by the system that changes the volume setting). Then once you intercepted it, you can check if it is a normal key press (short), in which case you would still allow to "forward" the information to the system. BUT, if you detected that it is a long press, you activate the action "next track" and do not forward the volume information to the system.
Something like (syntax is nor correct, of course)
Code:
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) // the way I understand this line, it will replace the default behavior of the onKeyDown routine
{
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN // if the key pressed down is vol_down
...
if the key press is long // don't know the code for that
do the action for next track
return true; // means that you do not forward the keypress to the system
else // if the keypress is not long
return false; // you have not intercepted the keypress, so you forward it to the system
...
else return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); // if any other key is pressed, forward it directly
}
Any opinions on that? Is the xda forum the right place to talk about code, or are other forums more suited to discuss about that?
Interesting..
If the code looks like that I might have to take up a hobby in learning how to code. It doesn't appear to be tooo difficult at all.
It does look like you may be on the right track there Bricolo_fr..
Cheers for looking into it.
Drew.
I see a potential problem though. You'd need to know what media playback program is actually being used, and it needs to support receiving messages from other programs so that you can tell it to skip to the next track. This might even require different coding for every player program available, if they receive messages in different ways.
In other words, you could end up having to write your own media player program.

Ok, well surely there must be a simple solution?
Why can't we say create an app where you could select which media player you are using (only have a few of the main ones) then we would be able to amend the code as per which option they select before it was implemented?

Sure you can do that; buy you'd have to examine each of those apps, work out if they accept messages, and work out what format said messages need to actually be in.
One would hope they would implement standard interfaces, but that's all it is, a hope.
Well personally, I use the stock player. It ain't the best but it gets the job done. So if it was just created for that at least I'd be more than happy
Thanks for the comments.
FloatingFatMan you are indeed right. I didn't know that all media players don't behave the same. So not all of them accept incoming messages, and not with the same protocol? Hum...
Does that mean that widgets for media player control are only compatible with a specific media player, also?
About the code itself, do you guys think can work?
I'm quite new here, is xda a place about writing code or should we discuss that in another place where people are more used to that?
Cheers
now that the Desire can be rooted...
on the Nexus one (probably other devices too) with the cyanogenmod roms, this feature is availale. just long press vol+ or vol- and you get next/prev track
can this be done with a moded rom on the desire also? what kind of changes need to be applied to the stock rom to add this function?

You can try Flashapp on the Market. I can post URL yet but you'll find it...]
Another excellent example that long press on a hardkey can be implemented without root is Quick Settings (great app btw): it can be brought up anytime, no matter what app you are running by longpressing the search key.

Apologies as I know it's a bit OT for this thread, but just wanted to make sure you were aware of the LED Desire Light app (http://www.appbrain.com/app/nostovic.android.desire.ledLight) - the latest version even has a nice wee widget to put the flash on/off, but the main app also offers SOS and turning text into Morse code!!
oxygen mod - based on cyanogen has:
* Skip tracks with long press volume up/down
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829734
update: it's a cyanogen feature, so all mods based on cyanogen have this
it works with screen locked.
is there any on-screen virtual touchpad or trackball that would permanently dock at the bottom of the screen that would move a 'mouse' like pointer or selection area on-screen? with the evo having just a large touch screen, there's no way to 'highlight' things without just pressing it with your finger. Does this make sense?
the touch input htc keyboard has those 4 navigation arrows across the bottom of the keyboard, which i'd love to port to swype too, but the only way to use them is to open the full keyboard, which covers too much of the screen if you aren't typing something.
BTW - did everyone know if you hold down(long press) the menu button, you can toggle the keyboard anywhere you are, not just a text-input box? love it

that, I believe, is actually not what he's talking about. I believe you are looking for something along the lines of Virtual Trackball, version 1.2 is out

If you go all the way through the thread, it is about Virtual Trackball by the end of it. In the end, they wanted Virtual Trackball to use the touch sensitive area on the search button. The developer never really got back to them.
But the OP seems to want something like the CM6 mouse support without actually needing to use a mouse. Admittedly, this would be kind of cool. Ultimately though, you'd be using a portion of the touch input to control a mouse that is simulating using your finger. It's a little redundant seeming.
Hey, i am going to maintain here a list of all thing which can be pressed and trigger some events in special occasions. I only know about two yet, thats where the community drops in. Post your find here and i will put it in this list.
Reboot
Hold Vol-Down, Trackpad and press Power
Reboots the system! Instant!
Prerequesite: Kernel must be loaded, so does not work the first few seconds after power on.
Warning:This does not unmount your sd-card or unlock any system files. Its basicly the same as removing the battery and should only be used in case your system crashed and does not react anymore. Think of it as a reset button on your PC, which you wouldnt press as long as windows runs fine.
Credits: myself
Bootloader/HBoot
Hold Vol-Down and press Power
Starts the phone and brings you to HBoot Menu
Prerequesite: Phone must be off for this to work
Notes: Navigate through HBoot/Fastboot with vol-up, vol-down and power as select button
Credits: myself
Bootloader during reboot
Hold Vol-Down and wait
Brings you to HBoot Menu
Prerequesite: Phone must be rebooting.
Notes: Make sure to press Vol-Down early enough. Must be pressed in before the boot-splash-image. Navigation, see above.
Credits: myself
Android safe mode
While phone boots, press and hold menu
starts up android in safe mode.only system apps are started, 3rd party apps are ignored
Prerequesite: None
Notes: You have too hold menu for a long time, from power on nearly until sim code dialogue
Depending on the rom you use, there is a small chance, it won't work, or the rom won't start.

I know this one but I think it is common for Android. When your phone is off. Push menu button then power. Don't release menu until you see a message on bottom left of the screen. This mode is secure I.e. it loads only software of the ROM without 3rd applications.

By the way that reboot is not graceful. i.e. your sdcard is not properly dismounted and open files are not closed. It is the same as a battery pull, so I would only use if your phone it totally locked up ...

I would agree and would also suggest that the OP put a warning about this in the 1st post. This reboot method should really only be used as a last resort...
One more (probably well known) function is long-pressing the Menu key to bring up the soft keyboard. It used to work even on the homescreen, but it no longer does ever since Froyo. It will works elsewhere though. Really doesn't serve any purpose, though...
warning added. i am a bit surprised, there are not more combinations. seams we got them all now. wouldnt have started this topic, if i knew its only such few things.

Is there a way to make the circle button not to be recognized as the back button on an jelly bean rom ?
Particularly on emulators like n64oid where the back button toggles a bar, it's really annoying
I tried modifying the keylayout but it completely bugged up several other keys
Any help here ?

It messed up the home key and most of the keypad, just for changing 305 to BUTTON_B

I am looking for a rom with Virtual Buttons navigational buttons ( like Nexus 7 ). My phone buttons do not work anymore and need this work around.
I am currently running Jellyzeus with turbo kernel.
I edited framework-res.apk myself to enable it but I did not work. I think it is disable elsewhere in the ROM somehow.
It's called navigation bar, it should be available in FXP CM10 rom. Make sure you flash the boot.img from FXP152 to make it bootable.
Various other JB roms have it.

This ROM is awesome. Its exactly what I was looking for. I like it so much Im thinking about installing it on my nexus 7!
Now if I can just find out how to reassign the wake buttons. Ex. Wake the phone from sleep using any of the four buttons on the front of the phone.
On iPhone there is an app called activator, which you can assign different functions to any button or gesture. I am looking for something like that. Nothing Iev downloaded from Play store works, from what I have read it is more of a ROM feature than anything.
Gesture control might work but I don't know if it has a wake feature

This ROM is awesome. Its exactly what I was looking for. I like it so much Im thinking about installing it on my nexus 7!
Now if I can just find out how to reassign the wake buttons. Ex. Wake the phone from sleep using any of the four buttons on the front of the phone.
On iPhone there is an app called activator, which you can assign different functions to any button or gesture. I am looking for something like that. Nothing Iev downloaded from Play store works, from what I have read it is more of a ROM feature than anything.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep I think its great! There is a paid app on market that let's you wake your phone by shaking it here link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS53aWxkcm9pZC53YWtlLnVwLnNjcmVlbiJd it's not free but gives you a 15min trial to see if works with your phone don't know if that's any good
Yeah I already have something like that for my tablet. That is not going to work for me because I walk alot at work and run at the gym. I dont want to have to remember to turn it on and off.
Simply, I just want all buttons to act like the "home" button on the lock screen.
This is really bugging me now. You would think that this is not hard to do and that I am not the first person to want this.
