******NOOB WARNING*****'
I've been searching for a few days and haven't come up with anything. I'm trying to remap my search key to have it launch my camera instead. I just rarely use it and very much miss my dedicate camera hard key. I've tried the button remapper on one of these threads to no avail there seems to be one dedicate to Galaxy S phones but when I launched that one it said I wasn't using a supported device ( I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989), and when I downloaded the other button remapper it launched just fine but when I changed the command for the search key to camera it did nothing. Next I went into my root explorer and copied all .kl files with the 217 search key that I was lead to believe was the one I needed to edit and put them on my external sd and then preceded to modify the originals from "SEARCH" to "CAMERA." But that attempt failed as well. All that did was disable my search key all together. Not sure if I was on the right track here and just missed something or if that's just a completely idiotic attempt. Either way I've just Typically failed at my noobish attempt at Remapping my search key. If anyone can help this sad and disgraced noob please let me know.
Thanks!
P.S. My phone is rooted and I'm just running plain ole ICS 4.0.3 and I'm gonna post a screens of "about phone" section incase that helps at all. Sorry if I sound like an idiot but I'm very new to all this. Just rooted my first phone a few weeks ago. So if you could keep that in mind when you reply it would be much appreciated. Thanks again

If you have clockworkmod recovery, or any custom recovery, flash attached file via recovery.
Did I do something wrong here?

Ok, well let me start out by saying I'm a moron. Below I posted and the whole recovery thing went way over my head. Lets just say the scapegoat there was not enough sleep and being way over worked. But anyway after writing that I realized how stupid I was. So I immediately pulled my head but of my but and went into recovery mode and installed your zip from there, reported, and still nothing for my search key. Is it because I screwed the pooh on my first attempt? Read the dribble I posted first and please lemme know:
First off, thank you very much for taking the time to reply and do all this for me. After reading your post I went out and got clockwork Rom manager which also lead me to download clockwork recovery. I then preceded to click on the zip file you provided and when it completed downloading I opened it. I took a snapshot of the screen that popped up. I clicked yes leaving the box checked that the program had checked for me (just as it is in the screen shot). Afterthat the phone preceded to do it's thing and a few minutes later the phone rebooted and now if I hit the search key it vibrates but doesn't actually do anything. Did I do something wrong along the way? Again, I really do appreciate you taking the time out for me and I'll be awaiting your response. Thanks!"
Stupid, I know. But I'll assume that that's probably the problem. If I can find some time tomorrow I'll try revolving the copy of the Rom I made before I killed my search key and then do it properly, and hopefully that'll be that and I'll FINALLY have my search key camera. Thanks again!

That happened to me as well. I then opened up my camera and pressed the search key while my camera was open. It took a picture. And booted, after that, pressing the search key then launched the camera. So try that.

Alright what I just did now, launch whatever camera app you use. Press the back button. Press and hold the search button. Should work.

Beautiful. Just did what you said and works perfectly. Might have even been working before I just didn't hold the button when I was doing it yesterday. Thank you so much. Was kinda sceptical when I posted that I would just get a bunch of condescending remarks, but very happy to see this site isn't like some others I've been too. Anyway though, thanks a million. This is gonna be awesome for my twins. I keep missing good photos cuz it takes that extra few seconds to find my camera. Now I'll be able to get to it in a flash. Thanks again. You're awesome.

Not a problem! I have my camera set to a short cut on the lockscreen and a gesture when I'm in my phone lol. But that's a good idea to just assign it to another button

Hello again. I just download my first new ROM, Jedi mind trick, and I obviously lost my search button camera. Since I'm not running the stock ROM will the zip file you sent me previously still work to replace my search key with launching the camera? Thanks in advance!
The keymap files are at /system/usr/keylayout/
Different ROMs probably have different files, but I guess you can find the file(s) you need to change from "SEARCH" to "CAMERA"
Keep in mind, do a backup before change anything.

Right, always sure to do that. I made a backup of all the files I edited last time. Edited all the keylayout files last time though and didn't do anything. Maybe I missed one though. I'll give it a try and edit it when I'm do though. Thanks for the info!
---EDIT---Totally worked. Actually I think I had it set the first time I did this on my stock ICS Cruz when I pressed the search key once in camera it took a pic but the problem I was having all along was I just wasn't holding it down. Typical noob right? Oh well, learned my lesson. Try absolutely EVERYTHING before posting and sounding like a moron, lol. Anhway, elessb, would it be possible for you to instruct me on how to get to my camera on my lock screen like you have it. That would just be beyond amazing.

Which ROM are you on? The cm ROMs have custom shortcuts so that's how I got it there.

I've got Jedi Mind Trick running right now. Its blazing fast but its kinda buggy. Was in love with it at first, but the longer I have it, the more it's annoying me. Programs seem to freeze up quite often and stall out the phone for 30 seconds or so, and it seems to be doing it at least 3/4 times a day. I've heard good things about the cm ROMs. I know its kinda off topic, well maybe not all that much since I'm interested in the camera shortcut, but is there a specific ROM you'd reccomend concerning the camera shortcut, and of course with overall functionality in mind as well.
Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a working app mod or hack to enable the incredible2 to have nexus-like on-screen buttons and disabling the lights and functions of the hardware buttons like on ParanoidAndroid has it?

This is the main reason I stick with PA. If someone can mod the framework of the rom you are using, it may be option, but most of the roms don't have that built in. You might mention it in the thread of the rom you use and see if someone can hook you up.
Yeah, I'm wondering if maybe you can copy and paste the frameworks folder from PA rom to the other rom and if that would activate the on screen buttons.
I doubt that would be a good idea, but I'm not the one to answer that one.

Just a warning, that very well may put your phone into a boot loop, if you decide to try it......BACKUP first

@Phantom: according to this thread it's just a matter of decompiling framework-res.apk, making some changes and then recompiling the whole thing, which is why I'm thinking maybe it is as simple as copying/pasting the apk.
@Tricsuit: Yeah, I know. I already learned my lesson and before attempting stupid ideas like this one, I run a full back up of the rim, settings, apparently and data, and then make sure to save the back up file in my box to be able to retrieve it from my computer just in case something else hiccups.

Thanks for the share m8, I will try to look into this one more over the weekend. If you decide to give it a go with a copy and past let me know how it works out.
Yeah, I'm on call for the next couple of days so I won't be able to play with the rom, but if I'm able to make it work I'll post it here. :beer:
Welp, I began to toiler around with this, succeed in decompiling res-framework.apk, changing the bools, arrays and dimens values and added the menu images, basically all the way down to step 5, but I can't seem to recompile it back into .apk... uhm... a little help guys? ^^;
I dont see a lot of posts about this. But, there is a very annoying bug after the update; where if I press the Home Button to wake the screen, it will sometimes launch the task manager about a second later. I've seen sporadic posts about this for Tmobile as well as Sprint for JB 4.1.2 update; but nobody seems to have a solution.
I guess it's possible that some people dont think it's annoying enough to post; or, it's a possiblility it only affects people who have the factory rooted update installed.
I'm hoping someone smarter than me has already figured out a way to circumvent this very annoying behavior. What makes it really bad is that it only sometimes happens.
PS: The only carrier that doesn't seem to have this issue after the 4.1.2 update is ATT. My guess is they caught this bug before pushing it to all their customers.

I'm going to bet that is you disable your lockscreen you'll see this behavior just about every time. I'm fairly certain I tracked down at least one way to circumvent this behavior - check out this post for some info on it. The take home - my approach requires a wee bit of smali hacking, and everything that utilizing such a solution entails...
Dwitherell, thank you so much for responding. I was even considering on reverting back to 4.1.1 because of this. I don't use any kind password or pattern lock.
Forgive my ignorance, but the post you pointed me to locks like its on a Jedi ROM. I don't even see any specific references to this issue. What is this fix for specifically? If it is for sure going to restore normal behavior, i guess i could try to do this hack.
If this issue is as wide spread as i think it is, is there any chance you could make a tiny root app that fixes the problem or some way of automating a fix for not so technical people? How wide spread is this issue? Thanks a million for your help.

My annoying fix...
I have been plagued by this since the update as well. I have tried factory resets and uninstall programs one by one. Nothing worked. Today I decided to try removing my lock screen pin, just used the swipe to unlock. That did not work. Then it came to me...
I set back up my pin to unlock, and switched the setting "Lock automatically" to Immediately instead of having a delay that I love. That "worked" as in it no longer goes to recent apps. But now I have to chose to have a pin to unlock it every time my screen turns off or remove security or deal with the recent apps issue. Any way you choose it's an extra annoying step to unlock.
I'd like to hear if anyone else has found any other solution.
Edit.... I have tried every lock option and as long as set to lock immediately, it will eliminate the problem. And the same with setting any delay, with any lock option it will result in the recent apps.
I forgot to mention that lock screen prevents this bug from happenening. I'm guessing that's why not everyone has complained about the issue.. and why the bug somehow sneaked passed beta testing of 4.1.2. I would think this changed behavior was a new "feature" as horrible as it is, but it looks like it dad unintentional since its not consistent behavior.
I'm hoping that a kind android developer who also can't stand this problem, Kay offer a small script or app for rooted user to patch this problem.

It was posted in a Jedi thread, but only because that is where I noticed it was mentioned. The context outside that single post was someone stating the same observation as you, my responding saying that I was also annoyed by it, with a later edit saying I may have come up with a workaround for it, and their response of "tell me more". As far as automating a fix or creating an app or the like - that is well beyond my paygrade unfortunately. What are you running? If you are interested you could PM me - all I need is your android.policy.jar (or to know what you are currently running) and I can try to get a fix together for you given some other conditions (i.e. have a custom recovery installed so you can flash things). It seems to have fixed it on my end, but I would be very interested in getting some others to test
You did it! Your fix works perfectly! The bug is gone! ...like the bug was never there. My understanding is the fix prevents the phone from stupidly trying to launch the task manager when the screen wakes by the home button. I also donated for you time and effort. Thanks a million.

No, thank you for making me learn how to put an odexed mod together and testing it for me!
So this fix will work for anyone running a stock odexed version of 4.1.2 UVBMB4 - you just need to be rooted, and having a custom recovery would be nice so you could flash it but you could also just copy the files over. That being said - would this be worthwhile to post?
I wish i had know i could just copy the files over.. that's actually less convoluted process than depending on a script. I thought the reason you made a patch via flashing is because the system files were locked/open by the system. Anyway, i am extremely thankful for this'll as there is no other way to fix the bug without adding extra steps to wake the screen.
You should definitely share both odexed and deodexed patches with others. I personally don't know how i could tollerate that bug for much longer. I'm sure there are others who don't use the lock screen. Plus, this would give a chance for others to appreciate your work by dontating for your time and effort.

The flashable zip is just one method to get the files where they need to go. Literally all it does is overwrite the 2 files in /system/framework by moving the 2 files over from the zip - but there are definitely other ways to do such things. Some are more comfortable with this route, others are more comfortable w/ getting /system to be rw and move the files manually.
I'll likely post this at some point in the next few days
I don't mean to revive a dead thread or anything, but this bug has been driving me CRAZY & the smali hacking worked perfectly for me, thank you!!!

Glad to hear
Is it possible that my phone isn't affected? If its a 4.1.2 bug, it should be in all phones with same version right?
This is not happening to my phone. Whether I have lock screen activated or not. I'm rooted but running stock ROM and I have Nova launcher installed if thats even important.
It's not all notes.

Absolutely. just PM me. Yeah, you have to be rooted but that's easy to do & worth it for this hack & all the other things you can do once you're rooted.

^^^ THIS - a thousand times over
Hello to all,
Im new to the forums and rooting, so I am still learning, please bear with me.
I have SEARCHED this for days and days, and still have no answer. Please don't flame, if you know where to find the answer please direct me to a link
With that said:
My dad has a SGH- T989 (Tmobile Galaxy S2).
His issues:
1) phone didn't receive calls all the time
2) when factory camera app opens all images were fuzzy or staticy
3) images of static when taken didn't save.... random icon app shows up in gallery
4) If you used Skype - camera was fine
SO I knew it couldn't be the camera itself.... so i decided to root the phone and update firmware/software and see what happens
I used CWM, then Jedi Mind tricks V6
phone seems fixed, camera screen seems fixed (no more fuzzy), but..... when you take a pic the image is a generic icon still. See pic I took with my GS4 attached.
any idea whats going on?
I have read that 4.2.x may have this issue.... should I try a different ROM?
Thanks for any direction

I have read that 4.2.x may have this issue.... should I try a different ROM?
Thanks for any direction

Try a ROM that is 4.1.x. I had a similar problem where a lot of my pictures didn't show up, so I switched to a different ROM and it seemed to have worked. I'm on Infamous right now, and it works fine. Or you can try JediJelly, which is similar to JMT, but is updated and works rather well.

So, I switched from dark to normal theme and I can read the quick settings again, but my main problem is now that I reflashed v6, im not able to watch any videos. I'm using burning series which gets links from streamcloud. It worked fine till I reflashed v6. Does annoy know why this could be? I tried with es video player and the stock one as well as in Chrome. Nothing.

Hi,
First of all thanks for the great work. I switched from the seal ROM to yours, and I have to say your ROM flies so far, keep up the great work.
Second I do have one issue with this ROM. I use tasker to power off my tablet, since it dies if I drain the battery complete. To do that I just use the reboot command as shellscript "reboot -p". That doesn't do anything. I took a look at my logs and found this error "03:21:11.237 ActivityManager(27125)
Permission Denial: get/set setting for user asks to run as user -2 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL"
Seems to me like a doable fix, but I know just a tiny bid of programming. Would love to help any way I can.

Sandisk USB Dual USB Drive
My wife bought me a Sandisk USB Dual Drive and I want to use it with my tablet however it is not reading/detecting the device. I have been searching online but can't find a clear answer about this issue. From what I read, the SM-T210r has the hardware to read OTG drives but requires a proper kernel to allow this feature to work. Does anyone know a way for my tablet to read the dual drive?
