I've looked around, but I didn't see anyone else with this "issue."
I'm on AOKP Milestone 5.2 running Nyan Colonel 4.2. I don't know what or when it happened, but the sym button (function set .com) on the hardware keyboard doesn't work as needed. Pressing sym acts as a select type thing where it continually highlights the next selection area (Button or text). And the smiley button doesn't work either, now that I think of it. Everything else seems to work though.

Wow. I'd say I'm disappointed at this dysfunctionality, but it just goes to show how little I use my physical keyboard. Like, never.

Well that sucks. I use that button a lot, mainly for the .com function. Especially when trying out a new rom and logging back into everything. Guess I'll have to type it out from now on. Thanks for the info!

Alright so im no developer, so this is why im offering this idea up.
Personally, im starting to hate Android...Im having some serious webOS envy. I know I know, just switch, or blah blah blah. I love the whole gesture based UI. So I was wondering..on the Inc the capacitive touch layer of the screen extends down to right around the bottom of the home-menu-back-search keys. (You can see by downloading some multi-touch tester and dragging your finger down there, it will read that your Y-Position is something like 820 or something.) So right above the trackpad in the middle of the soft keys is a blank spot. Would it be possible for you to change that so there is some sort of invisible soft button, that when you swipe up or tap it launches a user specific app? I would probably put some sort of app-switcher there, or well I dont actually know. But if this is possible, it would be really freaking awesome imho. Thoughts?
have you tried using adw or launcherpro...they have gesture ui, and you can change them also...ie, cm6. sense doesn't that I know of.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Cm6 has lockscreen gestures. Haven't looked into them myself but may be a place to look...
I know those launchers have gestures but what I mean is a new soft key in the middle if the menu and back key

I remember on stock 2.1 this invisible button did something in certain apps, I can't remember what it was though.
i see what youre saying and i think itd be pretty sweet. just to have another soft button to launch messaging or something. i'd love this in a rom

Why not remap the trackpad?
I understand maybe a invisible button could be cool, but its useless. So is the track pad, but the trackpad can be remapped
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well what if u made it to where swypeing left or right or down or up on the optical joystick opened apps of your choice while on the homescreen... or is that what were already talking about?
Well the track pad is not use less. I use it on a normal basis. Maybe for you having an invisible button would be use less but for me it would not. To each their own.

No that's not what I was thinking of, rather the area above the track pad. That's a good half inch Of wasted space.

I have tried to find a thread with this info and SORRY if there is a thread with this info about it.
I have installed CM9 A5 and i am noticing that the FN .com key does not work on the physical keyboard and seems all the rest work just fine. I don't have a problem with typing in the .com, but would like to have it working.
Is there fix for it?

Thank you for your reply...I will have to stop being lazy and type in 4 more characters.
It works if you hold it and press the character you want. But if you flash a custom kernel I think it fixes it because I stopped having problems after flashing samurai kernel... the one for alpha 4 works for alpha 5 because they made changes in the rom itself not the kernel

I was actually just looking for a solution to this myself. I found this thread about key mappings. It looks to me like some people have remapped it so that buttons like fn and the emoticons do different things but still not what they are labeled to do. Perhaps I am missing something and the TouchWiz rom allows for these buttons do do what they are marked to do but CM7 does not even have the ability. I would love to get the keys working properly though if it is possible.
I'm not really feeling the stock Samsung keyboard and I've been searching for a successful port of the HTC/Sense keyboard for the S3 with no luck.
It seems as if I'll have to find a comparable or better replacement. Any suggestions?
(BTW, my phone is rooted so there are no issues with flashing anything.)
Try SwiftKey 3! That's epic keyboard with best word reach speed.
It's radicolous in GPlay and probably best keyboard with international support.

Another +1 for SwiftKey3. I switched over to it about six months ago and haven't even thought about looking for another one.
Tried a bunch, keep coming back to swiftkey
I downloaded original stock ICS keyboard works the best no problems
There's something wrong with swiftkey 3 for me.
I could start typing a sentence and it would end up looking like this : The quick brown fox jumped over the fefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefe.
And once I'm in that lock, pressing backspace will just add more. Doesn't happen often but it's annoying.

So is there a trick to bring up special functions on this keyboard?
I like the keyboard, but I miss the numeric keypad, the edit keypad, and the copy and paste ability of the swype keyboard.
I feel like Swype was more accurate at times. But I do like the layout of the Android keyboard better then Swype. I am just waiting for Swiftkey Flow lol. But only thing I hated on the Android keyboard was that it was too long of a delay when holding a button down to get like a "?" for example. Or just longer then I am used to.
Noticed there is no button for smileys either. I use those heavily. Its nice having them on the fly with the button
I think it's just a keyboard like Swype .i mean this is not so attractive but, also thanks for offer this.
So i figured out how to add the onscreen softkeys by editing the build.prop and adding
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
at the bottom; however...I have a question, how to you add buttons using a AOKP/AOSP rom? or even using the build.prop? because Im currently using the AOSP Hercules CM10 [JB 4.1.2] ROM and I'm confused...I honestly want to add a "menu" button and also turn off the physical capacitive key lights. if you guys can help...you'd be my hero..

yup I'm using a E4GT, but i figured it out. After you edit build.prop the setting for the navigation bar is there, but now my only question is how do i turn off and disable my capacitive buttons completely and turn the button light off? ive done almost everything and i can't seem to figure it out. I tried editing the "Button" Values and setting them to "0" under settings>display>automatic backlight>use custom>edit other levels, but no luck. I even went to the root folder system>usr>keylayout>sec_touchkey.kl and erased all the text and the result is that they don't vibrate but the menu, back, and search buttons still work...the home button is the only one that doesn't work. I mean it's not a big issue but the light gets annoying and I just want to complete shut off all capacitive physical controls...can you help me out?
using Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII Epic Touch 4G
Rooted with AOKP v. 4.1.2 CM10 [10-20121024-SKANK-epic4gtouch]
In the advanced section of the settings menu there is an option to turn off the cap. button lights. You're on the right track with erasing those values, but you have to reboot afterwards to get it to take effect.
What are you using to edit those values?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Go to system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey. Select sec_touchkey and delete the four lines. Reboot and you will be good to go.
Edit: I just read you already did that.. I dunno man that's what works for me.
