[Q] Change hardware keys function - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
The back button of my phone is broken and doesn't work anymore.
So I want to change the search key to be the back key and vice versa.
Can anyone provide me a flashable zip or is that impossible?
I don't really have the skills to pull it, edit the file and then push it back to my phone
I already tried the app button remapping but it doesn't seem to work.
.
Thanks in advance,
Rsdf430.

Go to system>usr>keylayout and modify bravo-keypad.kl as you wish. Root explorer recommended.
Reboot required

Could tell you...
Hello, are you using a custom ROM? or rooted?... I could tell you if you are using the same/similar ROM as I am...I think i had the option to change hardware keys.

Home key doesn't work

Hello everyone,
I have just flashed new CM10 Alpha 6 ROM on my HTC One X, and since then, my home key is not working any more.
The button itself works (ie lights up, you can press it and feel vibration feedback) but there is no action.
- I haven't installed soft key enabler or disabler or anything similar
- I have tried switching "Enable custom actions" on and off with various settings, but nothing changes with the home key. The changes are applied to long press right key (I have tried to set it to search - it works, set it to none - works too), but whatever I set for Home key, there are no changes in behavior
Anybody has similar issues? Can somebody help?
Thanks
did u try any other ROM after this to check if home button is working or not?
To get better help try to post this in the CM10 thread itself

I ended up reinstalling the ROM, it worked right after that.
I then realized it was maybe Titanium restore that screwed it up, so I did a selective restore of system app data instead of restore all that I did initially.
It works now!
Thank you for your suggestions

[Q] Long Press Volume to Toggle Music

I see that custom roms are starting to include the "Long Press of Volume buttons to Toggle Music" option. Can anyone create a flashable zip for just this option or list the change I need to make in order to accomplish this? I have tried editing the generic.kl along with some other things but nothing works. I like the stock OTA JB rom and would rather not flash a custom one just to get this function.
Seriously? Nothing from anybody? I know I can't be the only one who wants this mod. Anybody know of an app that will do the same thing or at least close?

Try the morphology thread in my sig, if you follow the instructions there you should get it up without changing your rom

[Q] Jellybean 4.2.1 Power button lag?

Hello everyone
There is a small problem with android 4.2 JB and its pretty annoying IMO. For some reason, when I press the power button, whether its turning the screen on or off, there is a slight delay between the button being pushed and the phone actually doing what its supposed to do. Is it just my phone or is anyone else having it? When I switched back to 4.1, the problem was gone. Is there a way I can fix this issue?
Thanks!

I have the same issue
Me too.. is it normal or what?
It's not the phone. The 4.2 crt animation was changed to look better on LCD screens. The new speed seems to lag. Turning it off gets rid of the issue.
How to switch it off? Can't find any separate option in settings or developer options. All other animations in developer options are off already.
I have that lag also since 4.2

I also want to know how to switch it off ... Annoying :/
I have that issue too and lime others I want to get rid of it. How can i switch that crt animation OFF?
A build.prop or local.prop edit should get rid of the CRT animation. debug.sf.electron_frames=1
The default is 24 if you want to go back.
Could you be more specific please? What app should we use? How exactly I can edit that file? Where I can find it? Is it in stock roms?

It is in all ROMs, you will have to be rooted to edit it.
local.prop may not exist by default, it would be in /data
build.prop will exist though, it is in /system
via adb something like this should work:
Code:
[I]adb remount
adb shell
cd /system
echo "[I]debug.sf.electron_frames=1[/I]" > build.prop
reboot[/I]
^ that mounts system as r/w
enters shell
changes current directory to /system
sends the extra line to build.prop
then I assume a reboot would be necessary to see the change
It can also be done via terminal emulator, or a file explorer with root permissions. If you want to edit build.prop you will have to mount /system as r/w prior to making any edits to it.
well,this is something thank you verry much!
Edit: My phone is stuck at the Google logo and won't turn off

How to change reboot menu

Hi Guys.
I wanna know that is there a way to add some additional items to reboot menu like soft reboot,reboot to recovery and ...?
And if it is possible how to?
I tried some mods but they didn't work.
And sorry for my bad English.
Xposed is the easiest way to get what you want.
Alternatively just install the Reboot Options app
