[Q] Remap touch keys - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i'd like to remap touch buttons on my Desire Z. I'm using SENSEI ROM (dont know if it's related).
Where is the keymap file located? Is it possible to bind on long press? I'd like to have it this way:
Home: open all apps
Search: app switcher
TP press: go home
And 1 more thing: on locked screen it is possible to change ringtone volume. It'd be great to disable this. Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

I780 and Smartkeys / AEButton Plus probelm

Hi, I recently bougth a Samsung i780 (italian unbranded), I would like to use the volume buttons as scroller, I tried both Aebutton and Smartkeys and both are working almost fine.
Almost...
With both the utility the smartphone hangs whenever I launch the camera app, no matter if I use a program shortcut or the HW button, no matter if the default camera HWbutton is enabled or not.
Any other user faced this problem ?
Any workaround found ?
Any other sw I can use ?
Thanks in advance.
hi. I have had EXACTLY the same problem as I have tried to do exactly what you have done with the volume buttons. sometimes it works and sometimes not. . (actually I couldn't figure out what was making the camera hang - u think its aebutton: could be...). the i780 is a great device, basically my tytn ii but faster. slimmer and a far better form factor. mouse ideas is novel but it does miss the directional arrow buttons.
anyway. I haven't figured out a fix yet, just wanted to show my support for your post!
Yep !
Exactly the same here ! Hope I will find a software that works !
Thanks for your interest, i hope some more skilled user(s) can help us to solve the problem.
In the meantime I'm go to ask some help to Alexander Eltsin (the author of AeBUTTON PLUS), but I'm afraid that the response will be the same as when I asked about the the treo 750 problem (no device in my hand, not a lot I can do).
on my treo 650 and 680 i could assign a shortcut to ANY key on my keyboard (long pusdh). Anyone know which software can do this?
PQZ II, a freeware, can remap buttons, works on volume and the camera button as ok, and the camera keeps on working!! plus you can get more then one set of remapping using assigned alt and ctrl keys, really nice app, although buttons plus double, tripple press is great.
Also is there a solution to the mouse button not doing a long press to the "right click" menu like the regular dpad middle button or stylus long press? it's really annoying samsung not adding that, there are no direction keys so by default you cant even use the soft menu button because once you make a file it is executed.... nm PQZ solves this with the volume button, plus the annoying problem that the volume button works while device locked in pocket is also solved by this.
could you explain if its possible to remap the volume keys, using them has scroll???

can you show us how to configure it to remap volume keys to up/down?
Tested multiple version of PQz - it works and seem to be really powerful - unfortunately it is not able to catch the volume up/down on the I780. Any other key is recognized except volume up/down....
Ok managed to make it work (basically I've missed the flag to enable use of volume buttons).
I can confirm it works and doesn't broke the camera button!!
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
The 0.0.8c version did not work but the 0.0.8 works very well on the i780 !!
It seems to be a very good software, with many possibilities (like AE button plus, perhaps with even more options) and it seems to take less memory
Very good, very cool.
Tks to sevet for your link ;
Regards
anyone experience many crash of PqzII?

Configure the apps (you can launch PQzII_Setup in the installation folder):
- flag "enalbe volume key convert" in the Window section
- in the Code section flag "use this section" and add a mapping IN= VOL-U => OUT=UP, IN=VOL-D => OUT=DOWN
PQZ II is not working at all on my device! The only thing I get is a little white square wich opens in front on my device...
Anyone who has a clue how to fix this?
just read the docs....
you have to tap on the square until a menu popup

key mapping software

for those who r familiar with HTC Tytn ll, we can key map each one & every button for designated software.
Is there any software out there for Xperia to do the same?

KeySwop only for the soft key. I'm looking 4 software to customize the buttons
Oh sorry, right...KeySwop is for the softkeys! But you can remap the hardkeys with windows itself! Start - Settings - Personal - Keys or Buttons (i have a german Rom and there it´s called "Tasten")
Or do you want to change all the buttons, not just the 2 hardkey buttons?

AEButton-Plus for the hard keys on the front.
AEKMap for the whole hardware keyboard - Useful for making completely customized layouts
key swap is fine for me
Hi, I recently installed the TF3D as a panel. However, despite having remapped the two front softkeys using SKTools, it still shows Phone and Camera respectively irregardless of what keys I mapped them to.
Any advice, please?

u can reassign these buttons by:
select settings>personal>buttons. I'm using TF3D 3 too but not as a panel... it worked 4 me
Hi,
I did that for my hard buttons but the soft buttons can't use that method.
u can use advance configuration software then. available on the net for free. but must install msoft net s.ware 1st

re-mapping the softkeys is just what it does, it changes the physical key press action, it does not remap the softkeys on the touch screen, to do that you have to go into the registry and change htc/windows etc. etc.

[Q] Holding down menu button

Hi,
Is there anyway to customize it to launch an application simaler to how cyanagon settings allow you to launch a program by holding down home?
At the moment it lauches/closes the keyboard which in my opinion in pointless when you have the htc_ime keyboard. Would this be a difficult thing to change?

[App] Easy switch between qwerty and phone keypad

Hi to all Since i couldn't find an easy way to switch between Phone Keypad and Full qwerty easily, i wrote a small script in order to do that You don't have to install anything, just run the script (unzip it first) You can assign it to a hardware button or even better assign it to a double swipe gesture in the app called LMT (you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263) I hope you find it usefull
Edit: This script is tested in HD Mini's default keyboard (WWE version) only.
Nice I will test on my other decives with htc
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
can it assigned to 'hold shift button' to show the compact, full, or phone keypad menu? i find this feature in xperia x2, it quite usefull..

[Q] Remapping hardware keys?

Now, I know I'm probably the only one who wants to do this, but...
Just coming from an EVO LTE, and I used my App Switcher button all the time (after moving to CM10 of course), and would love to be able to remap Menu to App Switcher for fast multitasking.
Similarly, having done so, I'd like to enable the App Overflow ("three button menu" button) in apps. I'd like this even if the hardware keys can't be remapped, as the S-Pen doesn't work with the hardware keys, and it would give me one more on-screen thing I can use.
Thanks!
