[Guide] MT4G Remapping Genius button to Google Search

Here is the guide to remap the Genius button to Google search.
A press will give you text search and long press will give you voice search.
Items needed:
Root access (Perm root required as not having perm root will result in changes being undone on reboot)
Root explorer
MT4G
Fingers
If you misspell the word you will lose button functionality. Your Power button and volume buttons won't work. All is not lost though, pull the battery follow the steps again. I would recommend making a backup of the file before you edit it (Root explorer makes a backup, but you can never make too many. That and Root explorer makes a backup of the file before editing).
Steps:
1. Open Root explorer and navigate /system/usr/keylayout/ (That is scroll down and press the system folder. Scroll down again and press the usr folder. Press the keylayout folder)
2. At the top right corner of the screen press mount r/w
3. Long press "glacier-keypad.kl"
4. A screen will pop up, scroll down to "Open in Text Editor"
5. key 183 will say FUNC_4, change this to SEARCH (all caps)
6. Press the menu button
7. Press "Save Changes"
8. Long press power button
9. Press Restart
10.Try it out, and say thank you after it works.
Sorry but I was always told to explain it as if you were 10yrs old to prevent questions. Wasn't trying to offend anyone's intelligence.
Also while you're in there if you want to add WAKE_DROPPED after HOME, your phone will now wake when you press the home button.
If someone wants to make a guide for how to do this with adb, post it and I will update the op.
Update: The google voice search on this phone sucks balls. Go to the market and download Vlingo. The first time you long press search after this it will give you the option to make it the default voice search. Imo it is superior to the native voice search, at least on this phone.
Update: The latest update for Voice Search has fixed whatever the problem may have been. But Vlingo is still a great app so feel free to give it a try.
Update: Mftek has given you another alternative. Please see this post For instruction on how to get Google search on a short press, and the Genius button on a long press.
Update

Absolutely genius... I will try it soon.
Before I do... we can reverse by simply changing it from SEARCH back to FUNC_4, I assume?

Already tried to change it back and it worked no problem.

You are the man! Thanks
Works perfect

OMG this has been bugging me since my first boot! Thank you!!

Tried this while temprooted with visionary and didn't work. Copied the file to sdcard and edited it there, then moved it back to its original location, overwriting the original.
On reboot nothing changed. What'd I do wrong?

Brilliant!

If you only had temproot and have not unlocked then Nand, then when you reboot it likely didn't stick.......

Ah... So is S-OFF required to achieve real permanent root? Or can I just use visionary to temp root --> perm root --> remount system as r/w and then go on my merry way?

Perm root is required, I have updated op to say that. Sorry for the confusion. S-off is required for this to stick, unless someone with S-on figures out a way to make it work.

Ah ok, this will just have to wait a little then.

Hmm I just noticed something strange when I did this, my text on my lockscreen disappeared after doing this .. along with when I press the power button, the text for each option was gone .. restoring back to stock the text is back .. weird.

Worked perfectly!!! Home button now wakes screen and Genius button does Google search. Thank you so much.

Just did it without any hitches. Added Home_Dropped as well. THANK YOU DUDE!!! This made my day even better. Rooted and key re-mapping sweet.

wow awesome that was fast

Ok problem figured out, it was the font I replaced in my system it started acting weird thanks again!

I actually went back to the genius button, for some reason the voice search function could not get a single command right, it couldnt understand "call home" in a perfectly quiet environment, let alone any other commands, like texts, but thanks for the write up.

I haven't rooted yet and I've also noticed that voice search performs surprisingly poorly on this phone. Wonder what's up with that?

I'm looking into a solution. It has nothing to do with changing it though. It's hearing it correctly, but not understanding commands. I say "call blah" and the search box comes up with call blah. Not cool.

Mine's blatantly missing words. If I didn't know better I'd say the phone is sassing me for not using the genius button.

[Q] NullReferenceException error (help please)

Used APPmakr to make this app since MS was giving away free developer licenses ($99 normally of course) and seems there is an exception null problem on the app i created which APPmakr knows about yet have not responded to. Obviously MS kicked it back as it failed certification. Have attached the app here as maybe someone here can help pleeeease. Many thanks as ALL help is ALWAYS appreciated.
The error occusa as follows:
1. Launch the application.
2. Press "..."
3. Press "settings".
4. Press "clear" to clear the cached data.
5. Press "ok"/
6. Press the device's back button.
7. Select any category.
8. Select an article.
9. When the article loads, press the device's start button.
10. Press the device's back button to reactivate the application.
11. Observe the unhelpful error message "NullReferenceException."
----------
Thanks again and am not handcoding this so if you can fix it and send me an XAP instead of telling me how to correct it using the development tools that would be great. MANY thanks!!!
ADDED: i removed the attachment. 04/20/11

110 views... nothing. Please help, thank you.

Hi, I've been taking a look at it but its kinda difficult when you can't use proper debugging tools. What I think is most likely happening is
1. when you start the app it grabs all the data and caches it.
2. When you clear cache the app still has a copy in memory which is what you see when you come back out of the settings.
3. If you press home on the list of items page and go back to it, it reloads the data from the web
4. but if you do it from the an article page it doesn't reload the data from the web and is trying to load it from the memory where it used to be, now returning null and throwing your error.
I have been decompiling the dll inside the xap but can't get them to recompile to try anything. I may even be on the wrong lines because anything in the app could be throwing the null reference.
Sorry I can't help more, seems to be a problem with appmakr so hopefully they can sort it for you.

Ahh ok and many thanks for your help.
ADDED: appmakr finally fixed their problem, my app should appear in the marketplace within a week.

Rooted htc desire cdma broken MMS

I've seen a lot of posts regarding mms being broken after rooting. Has anyone gotten it to work? I am with Cellcom Green Bay, WI.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

I'm actually with Cellcom in Green Bay as well! I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.1. If you have any questions about what works and what doesn't, feel free to ask me! I've actually tried quite a few ROMs on the Desire.
And just to be clear, rooting worked fine. I'm able to text and take calls. However, with the ROM I'm running, I had to download a different text messaging app, because the default app doesn't split messages longer than 160 characters, so the messages wouldn't send when they were really long. Easy fix though. No worries.

Ligor,
Great to hear that you have things working on your desire. Rooting worked fine and I can make/receive calls fine. Data and internet work fine along with sending and receiving regular text messages. MMS picture messages don't work. I get failure messages back when sending or receiving MMS.
Can you send and receive MMS?
Thanks,
Mike
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App

I'm testing it now. It appeared to send correctly. I'll let you know if the person I sent it to responds.
EDIT: MMS is not working for me right now. I'm looking into some fixes for it. It appears you would need to install a new mms.apk for the appropriate version of the ROM you're running and change some APN settings.

Ok. I am still on the Cellcom stock ROM. I can see the APN settings and they still appear to be Cellcom. Don't know what may have changed though. I'll keep looking and post if I figure something out. Please let me know if you figure it out.
Thanks!
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App

im also on a cdma desire, but with us cellular. i have similar issues with mms, sometimes they will send, most of the time not. running cm7.1 too. i was using some other sense rom from 2fastroms that i had to mess with the apn settings to get it to actually send any kind of message, but never could get mms to work.

Seems to be a combination of the UTSI_* setting and APN settings. This post leads down that path. I haven't had a chance to try changing anything.
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14506-apn-mms-issue/page__st__20
My phone has UTSI_005 set and it looks like it should be UTSI_006
Also found that the CID might be set wrong after rooting.

You went over my head with that post lol. As far as just getting root, I had no problem with the stock rooted rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

UPDATE
I got MMS working today by following the instructions on this site -
2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=202
There is a file specific to Cellcom that has the CID updated already
==> Cellcom_mms-fix.zip
The instructions below worked for me. Thanks to 2fastroms.com for this!
I did get a "general network error" when sending a picture, but the message did go through. Also received a cannot download image when receiving a picture message, but it did download.
Step 1:
You need copy the downloaded zip to your sd card. Boot into recovery by using reboot to recovery if a option in your rom. If not power down the device. Hold volume down and power till the h-boot screen shows. Once it does use volume down/up to navigate to recovery. Hit power to select.
Step 2:
Go to install zip from sd-card > carrier_mms-fix.zip. Select yes and let it flash. Then select reboot system.
Step 3:
When rebooted plug your phone into your pc. Open cmd or terminal running the below commands.
Code: Select alladb shell
Enter
Code: Select allsu
Enter hitting ok on the prompt.
Code: Select allcat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
Enter
Code: Select all/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img
Enter. Once done reboot and see if mms now works. If on sense it should if on aosp you need a modded mms.apk from this

did you try using root explorer mount as r/w then go to data then data again then scroll down to com.android telaphony and long press it hit rename and put a 1 at the end save reboot then it should work thats what i found some where and it worked for me on many roms..

FIXED: Can't send MMS? Sprint / Boost / Virgin Mobile APN Settings Problem!

I think there's something wrong w/ my APN settings. I can send/receive SMS, voice, and data. I can only receive MMS. The only way I've been able to send MMS out is by installing Go SMS Pro and manually putting in APN in the app.
My stock messaging or Handcent can't send out MMS, so I'm thinking perhaps my APN got messed up. How can I verify/correct this?
See fix below! :thumbup:

Please DO NOT QUOTE this post in your reply. Just post your questions or comments if you have any. I DON'T CHECK OR RESPOND TO PM'S.
5/31/2014 Update - The Palm Treo Pro 850 and HTC Touch Pro's MMS are now working again as well.
5/20/2014 Update - As of 5/19/2014, Sprint has removed the HTC Touch Pro2 from the list of decommissioned picture mail phones. MMS is now working again on the HTC Touch Pro2.
5/1/2015 Update - As of 4/30/2014, if you have a flashed phone, Sprint has decommissioned a bunch of older phones as far as MMS functionality is concerned. For more info, look here: https://community.sprint.com/baw/co.../2014/01/31/picture-mail-decommissioning-faqs and https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/152977?start=0&tstart=0. This affects lots of donor phones including, but not limited to HTC Diamond, HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch Pro2, Palm Treo 850 Pro, etc. The only way to get your MMS back on your flashed phone is to replace your donor. For Sprint legacy plans such as SERO, the Sprint Sanyo Incognito still works. For Boost, the Boost Sanyo Incognito works as well. Boost phones can't be activated with Sprint, but select Sprint phones can be activated with Boost. None of the mentioned methods below will fix your MMS if your donor phone's MMS has been decommissioned by Sprint.
Background: I bought 2 Galaxy S3's. One had the problem out of the box, and the other was just fine. A friend had a problem as well. It seems some Galaxy S3's may have shipped with a defective APN config setting. Method 1 and Method 3 are the "real" fixes, but they require a rooted phone. Method 2 is more of a work around and doesn't require a rooted phone. You must use 8sms app instead of the stock messaging app for SMS/MMS messages.

Method 1 - (the real fix, but requires a rooted phone):
***UPDATE***
I've confirmed that this method works on ICS (4.0.4), Jellybean (4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3) , and KitKat ( 4.4.2) . Tested and working on Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2, and Note 3.
1a) Download this working Sprint APN xml file: https://www.box.com/s/40x5ac2c6u0ckzfz59ig (click on download button at the top)
OR
1b) For Boost, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/o9folfrq00ee9p2qj5pv (click on download button at the top)
OR
1c) For Virgin Mobile, download this xml file: https://www.box.com/s/9itl21drpp84enqeszc9 (click on download button at the top)
2) Download and install "APN Backup & Restore" from the Google Play Store to your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore&hl=en
3) Convert the "APN Backup & Restore" into a system app by either using Titanium Backup, or simply use Root Explorer/ES File Explorer (root enable it) to move the APK from /data/app to /system/app. For KitKat, move it to /system/priv-app.
4) Reboot the phone.
5) Launch the app, click on menu, then click on "Disable ICS Check".
6) In the main app menu, click on "Backup APNs". This will create a directory called "ApnBackupRestore" in your /mnt/sdcard.

12) Done.
NEW Method 2 (work around, doesn't require rooted phone) - Uses 8sms app which is lightweight unlike other 3rd party bloated messaging apps such as Go SMS Pro, Handcent, etc. More details about the extra features of this app can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398767
1) Download and install 8sms app to your phone from the Google Play Store here or from the developer's site here.
2) Launch 8sms app.
3) Press Menu button on your phone.
4) Choose Settings
5) Choose MMSC Settings
6) Press "MMSC".
7a) Type in "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
OR
7b) Type in "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" for Boost
OR
7c) Type in "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" for Virgin Mobile
8) Press "MMS PROXY".
9) Type in "68.28.31.7" (Sprint & Boost) OR "205.239.233.136" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
10) Press "MMS PORT".
11) Type in "80" (Sprint & Boost) OR "81" (Virgin Mobile) - do not include the double quotes. Press OK button.
12) (optional) Press "MMS over WiFi". I know this works for Sprint. Not sure if it works for Boost or Virgin Mobile.
13) Press phone's back button.
14) Choose "Phone Number" under the Extra Settings section and enter your 10 digit phone number.
15) Press OK button.
16) Press phone's back button.

18) (optional) You can also configure the app's extra settings such as enabling EMOJI, etc.
19) Done.
Hidden below is the OLD Method 2 - Uses Go SMS Pro which is too bloated and doesn't work well with apps such as Avast Mobile Security
OLD Method 2 - Uses Go SMS Pro which is too bloated and doesn't work well with apps such as Avast Mobile Security - (work around, doesn't require rooted phone)
1) Download and install Go SMS Pro to your phone from the Google Play Store.

8) Up on top, press "Advanced"
9) Scroll down the list and press "MMS Settings"
10) Scroll down the list and put a check mark on "Fill APN configuration manually"

17) Press back button on phone twice.
18) Send/receive a few SMS/MMS messages to test.
19) Done.
Method 3 - (also a "real fix", but requires a rooted phone and custom recovery such as TWRP, ClockWorkMod, etc.) PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK IF THIS METHOD WORKED FOR YOU!
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if this breaks your phone. Proceed at your own risk! These scripts will replace your old apns-conf.xml file in /system/etc and will delete your telephony.db. When your phone reboots, the telephony.db will get recreated according to the content of your apns-conf.xml file. Thanks to oakieville for the script!
1) Boot into your custom recovery.
2) (optional, but highly recommended) Perform a nandroid backup using your custom recovery before you apply this fix just in case!
3) Not sure if this is necessary, but go ahead and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
4) Flash ONE of these:
Sprint (original, stock, working MMS for Sprint): https://app.box.com/s/m2pq7sesi6aexwa9zu3g
Boost: https://app.box.com/s/dt16cd44hsix3n2dl0mf
Virgin Mobile: https://app.box.com/s/395osivovclbbr44p5w1
5) Reboot your phone.
6) Done.
7) Please leave feedback if this method worked for you!!!

Thanks Alpineman! You are the man and a great help to the android community. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get my Galaxy S3 to work on my Legacy SERO plan and now you have helped me get my MMS working again. Thanks!

Think this should be posted on both original / or Android Dev side
Good stuff bro. Thanks for this quick and easy tutorial!! :good:

I am unable to receive MMS from anyone that doesn't own a sprint phone. I am however able to send M M S. Do you think this will help with that.

Thank you very much, now my phone to work properly.

cant do it says does not support 4.1

I have not tried this on Android 4.1...Only on ICS. You can downgrade to ICS first, apply the fix, then upgrade to 4.1. The fix should carry over.

Tried this method on AOKP 4.1 and lost the ability to receive any SMS or MMS. I then Odined back to stock Touch Wiz 4.04, rooted and tried again. I still can't receive any SMS/MMS at all since trying it, but I can send SMS just fine... Probably gonna Odin back to stock and take my phone to the store tomorrow as I have no idea what to try next and no SMS is no cool

Did you try reflashing the aokp rom? I tried this fix earlier and it didn't work for me either and I also could not send or receive afterwards. I then wiped and just flashed aokp again like a new install and all was well after that. I would try that before deciding to take your phone back to the store.

I didn't try reflashing AOKP because I still couldn't receive any texts at all, SMS or MMS. I'm in the process of Odining back to stock, maybe I'll re-root, try the fix, and reflash AOKP before the night is over.
Does Odin not return the APNs back to stock? My phone worked fine (minus MMS a known issue w/ AOKP) until I tried this fix.

You didn't need your apn settings to work in order to reflash aokp. What wiping (cache, dalvik, system and factory reset) then reflashing would have done would have restored aokp to your phone as a fresh install and reset your apn settings.

Ok, rooted once more, wiped cache/dalvik, did a factory data reset, then flashed AOKP 9-11, sent a regular old SMS to my gf who is sitting right next to me. She got the text within 2-3 seconds and replied back. It's now been just over 5 minutes and I haven't received her reply SMS.
I've been rooting my phones for 3+ years now, always carefully following instructions from XDA and I've never had an issue that I couldn't fix myself. I just have no idea what else to try =/

Thanks, using gosms fixed the problem on my jellybean device

Deleted. :sly:

Running aokp/jb milestone 1 w/PMR on el26.

[Q] Forgot Pattern Lock

Hi there,
I owned a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean 4.2.1 version, yakjuxw (Not rooted), GSM. I activated the Pattern Lock to prevent the kids at my relatives house messing my phone. Unfortunately, I forgot the pattern and the phone stays locked out. I have tried the pattern combinations for days but failed.
I have tried to key in my Gmail account username/password but since my phone is wifi/data switched off, I cant sign in. Moreover, I am not sure whether the USB Debugging is enabled.
I have tried some 'hole' methods recommended at some forums, but it didnt work on my phone.I hope to get access to my messages/images/some files and transfer them to my pc before reset the phone to factory setting. Please help! :-|

You can reset the phone to Factory settings.
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Press vol up+vol down+power buttons till it vibrates. Now you see a dead android.
3. Navigate with your volume buttons to "Recovery Mode" and select it with the power button.
4. When its booted you should see a soort of menu.
5. Select "wipe data" (or something like that). THIS WIPES YOUR DATA AND YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE (music, pictures etc..)
6. Select reboot system now.
7. Done.

Thank you for the reply. But, I wish to get access to my files in order to transfer them to a save location before reset the phone to Factory settings. Is there a way to hack into the device without wiping out the data?

Try this out.

Call yourself from another phone and answer, after that your phone will probably get unlocked.

In ADB or some other way to access the file system in Recovery Mode
navigate to /data/system and
delete password.key and/or gesture.key
- reboot.
Password/Gesture Lock gone.
You can use AROMA File Manager in Recovery (would have to sideload it if you didn't pre-install it)

Good luck. Post back with your solution.

Thank you for the link. I am downloading the Cygwin on my Windows Vista machine. Slow broadband speed has actually delayed my work.

Sideload

Thank you for the help. What do you mean by sideload? I am using a Galaxy Nexus which has no SD slot.

Hi, I have used the Mint Live session instead. When I type <adb shell>, it returns <error no device found>. What should I do? Please help.

Hi, I have searched about sideload. I have never rooted my phone before and having difficulties in understanding the android features. Can you provide me a walk-through on how can I install the recovery on my locked out phone and access my files please.
FYI, I tried the adb method listed above, but the terminal returns <error no device found>. I tried the method on Mint (linux) live session.

I managed to get access to my data. Messages are the only thing I am losing out. Thank you XDA guys.
