Headset Button Fix

This fix allows you to use the one button or middle button on your headsets. You will be able to pause/start music answer/hangup phone for Samsung Galaxy S II and other phones using Gingerbread that the headset buttons may no longer work on.
I spent way too much time on this, so I figured I would share a how to for all of you.
You WILL need to Root your phone. I’ve found what I think is the best/easiest way of doing this. This Root process WILL NOT flash or change your OS.
Step 1:
Root your phone with DooMLoRD fantastic ‘Easy Root Toolkit’ link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 you can read the 27 plus page link like I did or just trust me it works great. I rebooted the phone before running the install I used his V2 on the first page. Download his DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip <NEW> from the link on the first page. Again his process DOES NOT flash your phone as other rooting processes with ODIN will. He also has an unRoot.
Step 2:
Install one of the file managers I use Linda File Manager and/or File Expert from the market.
Install a texted editor I use Text Edit from the market.
Install a terminal emulator I use Android Terminal Emulator from the market.
Install Jays Headset Control. (This app is no longer available from the market for the SGS2. Compatibility issues stemming from the improper coding the sec_jack.kl file. The developer of Jays Headset is kind enough to post a link to app, see link at the bottom of this post.)
Step 3:
Open the terminal emulator
(To bring up the soft keyboard hit the menu button then the toggle soft keyboard “the menu button is at the bottom left of the SGS2” ) now type and enter the following commands:
cd /sdcard
mkdir fixbutton
cp /system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl /sdcard/fixbutton/sec_jack.kl
cd /sdcard/fixbutton
ls
You should see the sec_jack.kl file.
To make a backup of the original type and enter the following command:
cp /system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl /sdcard/fixbutton/sec_jack.kl.bkp
(if you have this problem where the i to turns into an I in the mkdir command the work around is type mkdi then hit the menu key and the toggle soft keyboard twice then enter the r)
Hit the home button
Step 4:
Open Linda File Manager
Hit SD Card
Scroll to fixbutton directory hit it
Hit the sec_jack.kl
Select Text Edit
It will look like this:
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
key 226 SEND_END WAKE
change SEND_END to HEADSETHOOK
And add
key 164 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE
hit menu key then save.
It should look like this
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 164 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
key 226 HEADSETHOOK WAKE
Step5:
Find the mount point of /system . On my SGS2 its /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
Open Terminal Emulator and type and enter the following command (this is just a display command):
mount
The /system mount point is in the middle. If you click on the attachment below you will see a display from my SGS2, in the middle of the display on line 14 is the mount point
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4 ro,realtime,battier=1,data=ordered 0 0
The mount point is the first part of that line, on my SGS2 its:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
Other phones will be different, so write it down.
Step 6:
Remount /system in read write mode and copy the modified kl file back. (Click Allow for the su command when it pops up). If your mount point is different then /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 replace your mount point in the mount command below.
Open the terminal emulator and enter the following commands:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
cp /sdcard/fixbutton/sec_jack.kl /system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl
hit the back button power off and power on
Step 7:
Open Jays Headset Controller
Choose Advanced
Hit Button Actions
Change Phone options right side of Click and Hold to Answer and End call
Change Headset options left side of Click and Hold to whatever you want (I like Play/Pause)
Enjoy, Click and Hold button for a second or 2 this will
Startup Music Player / Pause / Start / Music / Answer / Hangup phone calls
That’s it, if this helps you give me a thumbs up and send money to the people that created the software that helps you!
Another tip, to save a lot of battery life, every time you reboot the phone hit Settings>Applications>Running services then hit DRM content > stop > ok, turn your display down to under 50%

Thanks for the thanks, let me know how it goes if you have any questions post em I'll be checking. Well you can skip tracks also but then you can't pause/start its one or the other. I'm just really happy I got this to work with pause/start answer/hangup with a long press. I may try again to get the next/previous to work, along with pause/start but my time is valuable and I need to make money like everyone else. Being an independent systems programmer having no real knowledge of phones software and just being a hack. I spent the whole day on this stupid phone problem..lol. I'd really would like to have next/previous double and triple press. I was hoping that the new OS Ice Cream due to hit the SGS2 sometime next year would address this issue, but I doubt they will fix it.

IT WORKS!!!!!!
Forget my previous noob questions, i figuered it out and you are a genius!!!!!!!!
I dont care much for pausing and answering calls from the HS button, so i simply chose the next track option under long click on the headset controller app.
It works and i cant understand why no one has figured this out already. Thank you for your work, much appreciated.

Scroll down and hit system
Scroll down and hit usr
Hit keylayout
hit sec_jack.kl
Scroll down and hit Text Edit
It should look like this

Oh I thought I put that in the Step 4 I left out
Add

I'll fix the doc now, please try it again sorry this will and does work!

Oh Great! your welcome just give me a thumbs up and enjoy

If this works for you can just post a 'It worked for me' and give me a thumbs up. Thanks!
Also, I'm sure this would work for other phones/devices not just the SGS2. The sec_jack.kl file and the mount point would be a different name on other devices. If you send a dir of your /system/usr/keylayout/ directory someone should be able to tell you what file to use.

[MOD] Volume Wake

I got so used to using the volume rocker to wake my DHD and show the lockscreen instead of the power button that i decided to try and add the same functionality to the OneX. The only caveat with this is that sometimes the volume slider shows up when it wakes, but i can live with that
Hopefully, in time, the ROM devs will add this in by default or as an option. Until then it'll require these manual mods...
Don't try the following if you're unsure what you're doing as you could potentially break the ROM if not done correctly. I recommend backing up first in Clockwork Recovery in case things go wrong.
I accept no responsibility for any issues encountered making these changes!
Requirements
Rooted phone
Android-SDK
baksmali/smali from here
Step 1 - Update android.policy.jar
1. Do the following to get the android.policy.jar from your phone and disassemble it
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar .
baksmali -x android.policy.jar -o classout
2. Open the following file in a text editor
Code:
classout/com/android/internal/policy/impl/KeyguardViewMediator.smali
3. Find the method "isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing(IZ)Z"
4. At the bottom of the method, there's a switch statement. Remove the following 2 lines from it:
Code:
0x18 -> :sswitch_5
0x19 -> :sswitch_5
5. Save the file and close it.
6. Run the following commmand to re-assemble classes.dex
Code:
smali classout -o classes.dex
7. Drag the classes.dex into the android.policy.jar file to update the file in there.
8. Push the updated android.policy.jar back to the phone
Code:
adb push android.policy.jar /sdcard/
adb shell
su
sysrw
cp /sdcard/android.policy.jar /system/framework/
chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.jar
Step 2 - Update Generic.kl
1. Pull the file from your phone
Code:
adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
2. Open it in a text editor and change the lines
Code:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
key 115 VOLUME_UP
to
Code:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE_DROPPED
3. Push the file back to your phone
Code:
adb push Generic.kl /sdcard/
adb shell
su
sysrw
cp /sdcard/Generic.kl /system/usr/keylayout/
chmod 644 /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
(of course, you could also make those changes to the file directly using a root file explorer app and text editor.)
Step 3
Reboot the phone.
Note: The first time it boots after changing android.policy.jar, there'll be an 'Android is upgrading' dialog. This is normal and it won't happen on subsequent reboots.

It'll still work, but the screen will wake too.

thanks much. I need this feature much.
One question, is this change use up volume or down volume or both will work?

Am I correct that this mod will work only on deodexed android.policy.jar ?

Yep, the above steps are for de-odexed ROMs, but you may still be able to disassemble if you pull the jar and odex and run baksmali on android.policy.odex. If you get errors trying that then pull everything from the /system/framework folder and try it again
Annoyingly, i've just noticed that once the phone goes into a 'deep sleep', the volume buttons don't always wake it. Sometimes they'll work after a double press sometimes it needs to be the power button :-\

Thanks it worked on my device. And I have added your mod to my mod pack for easy enabling and disabling

Would it in theory be possible to use the home button to wake the phone or is that impossible because the buttons don't work when the screen is off?
I have wake on TP on my Desire now.

Not possible as the buttons don't work when the screen is off.
And when the phone goes to deep sleep mode, volume button to wake it not really works (tried both on odex and deodex ROMs).

Totally eager to try this out.
I'm using the LC ModPack 2.1.0 and this doesn't work

Ok so this volume unlock doesn't really work when in deep sleep?
This isn't mentioned in the first post.
So what if I use this volume unlock and disable the power button, then I have a problem after deep sleep?

Yeah... most of the time it doesn't work when in deep spleep. OP mentioned this on post #6 too.
With volume to wake (not unlock, you still need the swipe up to unlock), and disable the power button, you will have problem to wake and unlock when it goes deep sleep. When you have this problem, the only way to wake it is to plug-in a usb cable or charger as it will wake the phone, then you can unlock.

Well then.. I think its better to disable it as it does messes up my volume levels even if it doesnt wake up the device..
Any chance of a full feature here? Coz the phone is expected to go into deep sleep most of the time..
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Jumping in here real quick, i dont (unfortunately) have an amazing all powerful OneX but i do have an HD2
Anyhow, im posting in regards to the isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing(I)Z method in the KeyguardViewMediator.smali file found in android.policy.jar. I already have the volume wake keys set via cyanogen mod, my question is this:
How can i ADD keys to this file to prevent the device from waking?
I tried converting the hex values from that file but they dont correspond with any key values (ex, volume down is 115) but 0x18 is 24, decimal value, so im not sure exactly what numbers must be added to correspond to the correct key.
Thanks all for your efforts and time spent reading!

Thank you for the guide. I don't have Generic.kl on my Motorola XT530, so I think I might need to fiddle round with the .kl files to see if I can get this mod working.
I had to modify my process slightly, so I'll explain what I did in case it may be of help to anyone else.
1. To copy android.policy.jar to my PC, I used Android Commander. It's nice and simple. Make sure you make a back up of android.policy.jar before you modify it in case you need/want to restore it.
2. Use Command Prompt and navigate to the folder in which android.policy.jar is located. For example:
Code:
cd C:\Android\temp
3. Disassemble classes.dex using the following command:
Code:
java -jar baksmali-1.3.2.jar -x android.policy.jar -o classout
4. Edit and save KeyguardViewMediator.smali as per the original post.
5. Reassemble classes.dex using the following command:
Code:
java -jar smali-1.3.2.jar classout -o classes.dex
6. Open android.policy.jar with 7-Zip (any archive manager should work) and replace classes.dex with the modified one.
7. Use Android Commander to replace android.policy.jar on phone.
8. Edit Generic.kl as per original post. I don't have Generic.kl on my phone, so I just left-out this step. I figured I could poke around the .kl files later if need be. I haven't done so yet.
9. Reboot.
Note: The filenames for baksmali-1.3.2.jar and smali-1.3.2.jar may be different if you have a different version. Simply adjust the commands above accordingly.

HTC Ones S --Works
Was looking for this on the HOS forums but found this close enough instead. Prob everyone knows this, but I did this same setup on my one s (t-mo-us) version, and it stuck. So thanks for this nice little tweak. Good to know dev's have our backs in everything.

this was much appreciated for my inc2!
we got a new kernel and messed up it working in the tweaks app, so this really saved me, I didn't realize the Generic.kl needed to be updated.
thanks again!

in defy, it's umts_jordan-keypad.kl instead of Generic.kl (doesn't exist).

[Q] A zip that deletes the manual and quick start from NST?

Hello there,
I have a simple question, I'm sure most of you developers know how to help us all.
I have a NST not rooted (I don't really need for mods and stuff) but I would like to get rid of the manual and the quick start guide that really annoys me.
Is it possibile to create a zip (maybe an img would be even better) that starts ClockworkmodRecovery and then that includes a flashable zip that deletes the 2 epubs?
So that everyone can delete them once and for all. :laugh:
Let me know if I can help you.

Perhaps it would be better to download and install a root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) and use it to browse and delete these epub files.

well, that includes rooting, installing a launcher, installing a program...
i thought that a zip that does it without rooting and without anything permanent on the device would be better.

I make what you asked for, find it enclosed. It is a zip update for CWM. I guess you know how to proceed but I've left instructions below for those who face this issue for first time:
1. Make a backup of your NST with noogie following this instructions.
2. Download the file enclosed within this post.
3. Burn 2gb_clockwork-rc2.img file to be written on a SD-Card using Win32DiskImager or dd on linux.
4. Open the SD-Card (where you burn 2gb_clockwork-rc2.img) and copy the DeletingEpubGuides.zip on the SD-Card.
5. Power down and insert the SD-Card on the NST.
6. Press the power button for 3 seconds, so that the device boots (you don't have to hold the power button after the 3 seconds)
7. As soon as the display changes to the "CWM logo" screen, push and hold the lower left and the lower right button until the screen changes again. Wait until you see the recovery. Hence, you'll be already booted into Clockworkmod recovery (Button layout: Both Buttons on the left: BACK / Upper button on the right: UP / Lower button on the right: DOWN / n button: SELECT / Power button: TOGGLE DISPLAY).
8. Install through CWM recovery the DeletingEpubGuides.zip update placed on the SD-Card. When you'll read "Done" press power button during 10 second and eject the SD-card.
9. Press power button to turn on the nook to let the devices open commonly.
I've just tested it over my NST v1.1.2 and works without problem.
Best.

I'm running 1.2.1, and I found them at /system/assets/userguides/standard/ . (There's also a /glowlight/ folder in the /userguides/ directory, FWIW.)
EDIT: However, deleting them there doesn't seem to remove them from the library. And I can't find the /system/media/books folder. Hmmm...
EDIT AGAIN: Also found them in /data/cloud_assets/books/userguides . Deleting, rebooting, and will report back here if that did it.
LAST EDIT I SWEAR: SUCCESS! Deleting them from all the locations listed above made them vanish from the library.

Disable Long Press Menu Kill app

This is specifically for Wicked ROM v10, v9.1 Galaxy S3:
(Remember, always do a nandroid backup)
To disable Long Press Menu Kill app
1. Copy "android.policy.jar" to your phone
2. Use Root Explorer copy "android.policy.jar" and navigate to:
"/system/framework" paste and overwrite the file.
(If it gets frozen, you might have to do hard reset - pull battery)
or hold down "volume up + home button + power button until power off,
then release volume up + home button while still holding power button.
Best option if above doesn't work...(might work on other ROMs)
Best option is to download ROM and open with winzip or winrar,
Navigate to "/system/framework" replace "android.policy.jar" and install rom. (long press menu kill will be gone)
If you want really nice toggles (see attached picture)
navigate to /system/framework and replace/overwrite "lidroid-res.apk"
If you want to replace shutdown animation for stock animation:
navigate to /system/media/video/shutdown and replace/overwrite "shutdown.qmg"
Bootup animation is located at "/system/media"
file named bootanimation.zip - change to your liking...

There are several problems with your instructions. Please learn how to make something flashable before releasing it. Imo, there is no reason to do this the way you wrote it. There are several, much better, much easier, and much safer ways to do this.
Also, is this your own work? Or did you pull it from another rom?
Lastly, be careful not to post paid apps here. This isn't pirate bay or some warez site.

[MOD] Skip music tracks with Volume buttons (deodexed only)

Hi there,
here is the mod for skipping music tracks when long-pressing the volume buttons. This is for stock ROM 14.71.8 DEODEXED ONLY!!
So, if you have an unlocked bootloader and have root access, you may apply my following mod. I'll guide you step through step as we got no CWM recovery yet, so you must do it manually.
- download android.policy.jar and move it to your internal SD card with an explorer or via adb:
Code:
adb push android.policy.jar /sdcard/
- after that type in the following commands, beware that su wants you to grant root access (SuperSU popup)
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/android.policy.jar /system/framework/
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Done! Enjoy this mod
Reminder: Although this mod was tested on my device, I'll take no responsibility if you damage your system, so just do it if you know what you do!
If we have CWM, I will provide a flashable .zip then.

Modification?

Thanks for this, something I miss from my old Sony Ericsson are the physical music player buttons.
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction of modifying this to make a small alteration; instead of vol-down skipping backward a track I'd like it to have the Play/Pause functionality. That is a button press that I'd use much more often!
Another (perhaps more complicated) solution is to have a double-tap of the power button do this Play/Pause, with double taps of the volume buttons providing the skip tracks effect.

Change the keycode in line 48 in com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager$VolumeLongPressR.smali from 58 to 55 and you are done.
Unfortunately this mod doesn't support double taps and I don't know how to integrate this easily

shaftenberg, could you please give a sources? Or just a list of .smalli files that you changed?

Sure.
You have to add 2 files in com\android\internal\policy\impl and have to edit PhoneWindowManager.smali.
Note, there are two/three different mods around here at XDA. I used all of them and I found out that the one with "lyapota" (you will see in the sources) works most reliable, whereas the other one (I used it in the Nexus 5 mod) works too but is a little bit less responsive and doesn't work with all media players.
The hardest part is to find the right variables, if you want to use this mod in other phones. The first time I did this, I used this thread as a good start but you can't simply copy as this won't work then
Attached are my modded .smali, the 2 ones you have to add and a .txt with the diff's to the original MotoG-smali.

Nice trick mate, can't wait to see this in a custom rom.
