Hi, there is something with the iyokan keyboard on CM, that is annoying me (and maybe others too?)
Is there any mod available to basically use the standard-xperia-keys on the phone? I want to be able to use smileys by pressing the sym-button, and changing the language by pressing the languages-button... (i had a rom, where the sym-key led to a menu similar to the original xperia menu, but without the smileys.)
oh, and what is most annoying: when i press and hold a key, i can choose alternative letters, originally on the xperia pro, u could press & hold the button, then a small popup showed up with for example the letter Ü highlighted, and u could just go on and continue typing. now, u press and hold U, the same popup shows up with Ü highlighted, but now u have to manually tap on Ü to choose it. i hope this was understandable.
I hope there is a solution for this... and thanks! :good:

I have searched and read almost every post regarding remapping of ok button.
Can anybody tell me if ok button on front side of hermes near call buttons and softkeys be remapped.
I am aeb buttons but it doesnt have option for it?
any thing else i can try?
I think ae buttons have the option to do what you want...
When you go to the configuration window where you can set the funtion to each button even that the front ok button is not listed there is an option of custom button or something like that, select that option, then pres the button you want (the fron ok) and then asign the function you would like to add...
Sorry I could not be more detailed but I only use this software for very few time because when instaled, the scroll wheel didn't respond...
hope it helps...

As far as I know, nobody has published a way to do this. However, If you havent already, there is a way to hack the PTT button, which I use to change the volume. You can assign any function that you want for buttons 1-5 @ start-->settings-->personal-->buttons. There is also a cab in the hermes section to remap your softkeys. You may want to talk to Sleuth255 (he was the one who hacked the PTT) to see if there is a way to do this for the ok button.

Worked like a charm
100x thanx 2 u
i know this forum rocks
hi guys, i am also looking for something similar to this. i have noticed that when i press the ok button on the front, or on the keyboard that it only minimises the program rather than closing it. now the background behind that is i have HTC X button on LVSW 3.30.0.9 (soon to be 3.30.2.1). and that is set to close the program.
EDIT: i stand corrected. i just googled ae button and noticed it was a program. i shall try that and see how it goes.

I have been looking for something to do this since the Hermes dropped.. I would love to find a way to make a press on OK minimize the app and a hold on it to close the app.. Still nothing?
Edit: I second the edit above...
that one may be possible with a combination of x button and ae button.... i havent tried it and am still trying things with ae button. but it may be possible.
ok. i am using ae button now and have noticed a few things.
one. the memory manager is pretty cool
two. when i go to add the front ok button above the 'end' key, it comes up with button #4075. when i try to remap that as 'close active application' it does nothing. not even minimise it.
three. it works when i remap the internet key to 'close active application' it closes it completely.
four. the same happens when i add and try to remap the ok button on the keyboard to the same thing.
and five. i notice that the button #4075. the ok button on the front, says 'change volume or.... 1. close active application'
which is odd.
the rest of the remapping works well. except for added the ok buttons.
guys can someone help me, im trying to add phone to the left soft key with vanilla rom - i have installed soft key changer but the option is not there - any help how i can do this please
anyone? PLEASE......
what do you mean by adding phone, if you press the green key you acces the phone
i know but i like he phone key on the soft key too - just a niggle i guess, i installed another rm nd its fine but you cant select phone fom some cooked roms after installing soft key changer, where as you can with official roms
I really cant see this. Press the green button, just as easy as pressing the one above it.
lol, does sound a bit strange... unless u change the green key to something else... but then WHY??!!
yeh like i said its just a little niggle - a standard feature that comes with the official roms and i just got very used to it - but no big deal
Hey,
is there a way to give the buttons on the bottom a new action/order? I really dont need that "search" button and want to get to the settings menu after pressing it...
Main thing is I want to make the left hardware button (defaults to menu) to be the BACK button. I hold the phone in my left hand and find it difficult to hit the back button one-handed. Having it on the left (which also makes more logical sense as its a back button and all) would make it perfect
Im running CM10 and I have remapped the menu button to be multitask however I dont see any option concerning the back button. Is there a mod I can apply to make this work?
Thanks all

Since you're running CM10, why don't you ask this question in the specific ROM thread? I don't know the answer to your specific question but with Task's AOKP ROM, I added a nav bar at the bottom of the screen (soft buttons) that allow me to configure the bar to whatever functions I want (to a certain extent).

U can get the zip and go to the keylayout folder in system and manually change it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
My apologies but didnt know there was a CM forum. Or do you mean the CM thread under Android Dev forum? Ill post in there if thats what you mean. Regarding the keys I didnt want to add the soft keys (similar to nexus products) to my screen if I could avoid as it will take screen real estate however would consider if this was the only option
Also howtomen, can you be more specific on which zip
Thanks
So I believe I figured this out. Had to go into /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl
Replacing
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
With:
key 139 BACK
key 158 MENU
After reboot it seems to work.
Hey everyone! I'm using a Xperia Pro running UltimateHD 3.0.2 and I wanted to know how do I get the "sym"(symbol) button working? I hate to
always close the keyboard just to insert a symbol or a smiley face. Can this be easily fixed or do I have to flash stock keyboard? I don't really like
the stock keyboard because the "remove keyboard" button is too big :\ Any ideas?
Thanks for your time!
