In search of tweaks...

Please, can anyone help?
I just recieved a new Verizon Touch Pro 2 and am trying to find the tweaks to set it up the way I would like. Frankly, I have spent hours looking and have not been able to find everything. Yes, this is cheesy and weak, but I am just burned out.
I am looking for some help on how to:
1. Change the 'Start' menu to use small fonts and work more like the standard Start menu (I do not use the Touchflo interface)
2. Disable word complete when using the keyboard. My ham hands keep messing things up.
3. Unlock the top of the screen so touching the battery icon takes me to power settings, touching the connection icon will let me disconnect data or start the connection manager and touching the volumn will bring up a volumn control. I really dislike having that area just open notifications.
4. Is there some decent, free theme generator out there? I was pretty happy with the one I had on the Omnia 1, but the TP2 seems to be pretty locked down for Touchflo.
I am sure there are more things, but hopefully getting these key things accomplished will remotivate me to try and go and find everything else myself.
Thanks in advance!
Maybe if I am feeling up to it this weekend I will play with my old Samsung and see what use I can make of it. Until I brick it, most likely. I am thinking about learning to create my own ROMS, and seeing if I can create one with no phone functionality at all. Useless? Probably. But something ingteresting to do on these long winter weekends.

1. TF3D2 Tweak. This has this option. (Pretty sure that's the right link, if it isn't then Google is your friend)
2. When your is displayed, mid-left there is XT9 and ABC, make sure that ABC is highlighted.
The others I'm not too sure about. Let me know if this helps.

3. go to HKLM\Services\NotificationManager\ in your registry.
Change the "flags" entry to 4 instead of 0, and it should go back to the default windows mobile notifications (any value other than 0 worked for me to switch back to the old style, but I saw another post that suggested "4").

I would also like to apply that change to unlock the top bar but am getting an "Access Denied" message when I attempt to change it.. Using mobregedit to do it.. what should I do?

cm7 / gingerbread rom keyboards?

Is there anyway we can click on a text box the page moves up above the keyboard?
Right now if the page cant be moved up anymore, the keyboard blocks the text box and i cant see what im writing on certain webpage forms

Just Push The Back Button On The Phone And The KeyBoard Goes Away..

ya i know that but lets say you have to edit words and or sentences
in other roms the page would be bumped up, im sure it will be fixed in the final
but was wondering if there is an easy fix

anyone have an idea?

Changing Bluetooth keyboard keys

Hello all. I recently got the Bluetooth Motorola Keyboard and I was wondering if anyone would be able to explain how to change any of the hardware keys on the keyboard to open an application. Thanks in advance.

any ideas?/shameless bump

At this time there is no way to change any of the keys. There are people working on this at this time but so far nothing has come out of it. I have the same keyboard but haven't found any need to change anything. What are you trying to do?

I like the keyboard I just wish the messaging button was mapped and be able open the process list (last 5 apps running)
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I hope somebody figures something out with this. (I was just Google searching for something on this, found nothing and figured we'd have something here on the subject.) The messaging button for example, does nothing. If it atleast opened Google Talk that would make things easier. Would make my usual Talk/Browser/Gmail switching much easier when using the keyboard.
And being able to change the contacts key to something else wouldn't be awful either. I don't think I've ever used contacts on my Xoom besides looking at it once and noting a pretty interface. So many other apps would be more useful.

I may be able to help with this. Can someone zip and post up your "/system/usr/keylayout" and "/system/usr/keychars" directories and post them up?
You should not have a /data/usr/keychars and /data/usr/keylayout directories, but give me a copy of those as well if they exist!

Still need those files if you will please good sirs.

I have no idea how to find the files you need. I plugged in my Xoom but I could never get into the system files. I R DUM

here they are

I came across this in the AOSP dev site http://source.android.com/porting/keymaps_keyboard_input.html#androidKeymapKeyLayoutMapTitle
I checked out my system/usr/keylayout/ folder and it shows 3 vendor layout files. i'm guessing those are the moto keyboard.
It looks like it can be done. Although the your xoom would have to be rooted to push a modded file.

looks like someone fixed this!

What about generic bluetooth keyboards? I've seen that many for example use Apple keyboards. I was thinking about getting a generic bt keyboard from eBay and remap the keys. Is there any chance that can be done?

No they didn't fix it. All they did was show how to change what was in the config files for the keyboards and add a WAKE function to an existing button function in order to wake the tablet with the keyboard.
What it looks like is being asked here is how to remap the default application buttons on the motorola keyboard (ie,.. messaging, browser, music, etc). The messaging button does nothing on the Xoom since it can't send text messages and the button was really meant to perform this function on the Atrix. There has also been questions as to how you could remap the browser button to another browser since setting the default browser to something other than the chrome one does nothing.
I've looked over that entire file and not once in there did it show a mapping for those keys to their respective functions. The function buttons have settings there, but I don't know if changing those would have any affect.
Anyone???

in case anyone didn't know, you can press the "search" key + a letter to open up applications. For example, "search" + T opens up Google Talk.

A bit late to reply, but maybe this can help you.
As 'gadgetluva' already mentioned, you can use the "search" key + a letter to launch some applications.
Previous versions of android allowed you to change the assignment of these in the settings. But somehow that option is gone in Honeycomb. The code to do it is still in there, but I didn't find any UI entry to it in the settings.
But, there is a dirty work around if you really want to change them. The application Task Switcher (there are multiple ones, I'm talking about the one from Jason Parekh) can be downloaded for free from the market. It's a nice and useful application, but you can also use it to open the hidden "Quick Launch" settings dialog. You do that by going to the settings of Task Switcher and choose Shortcut. That will open the "Quick Launch" settings dialog. In there you can (re-)assign the "search" key shortcuts at will.
It's a bit involved, but you only have to do this once ...
PS: Once you have Task Switcher installed, you can as well bind it to a key your not using with the free application exsbar. That way you also have a quick shortcut to switch between the running applications. A little bit like the Alt-Tab in windows.

[Q] Quickmemo+

Greetings, first time poster and new member! I have heard great things about XDA so i thought I would try my luck here. I really like the Quickmemo+ app, and even more so because I can pin it as a capacitive button in the settings. However, the issue is, when I access it from the capacitive button to quick launch the program, it ALWAYS has a default setting of a nasty-looking yellow page, no lines, and the stylus option selected. Every time I want to make a quick note, I have to change the settings inside the app to get the right page, color, lines, and text boxes. Is there a way to make what I actually WANT to use my default for when I open the app? Thanks in advance for any help provided!

I didn't think u have option to change that

Remove ".com" key from samsung stock keyboard

Hi. Does anyone have an idea how to remove the ".com" key the samsung keyboard shows when inside a browser app. It's quite annoying and doesn't really give that much convenience when surfing. I mean, who actually types full web addresses these days when you can just do a google search. It just takes up space and more often than not i would hit it accidentally instead of the space button which is really annoying.
I could always go with google keyboard or swiftkey but i really prefer using the stock keyboard. It would be perfect if there is a way to remove this button.
Thanks and keep safe xda!

Did you ever find a way to remove the .com key?

Pretty sure this would require decompiling, modification and recompiling of the files in the APK.
No other way exists that I am aware of that removes that button from the keyboard.

Found this post looking for a solution, but found one myself. In goodlock, download the Samsung app Keys Cafe. Copy the default keyboard, stretch your space bar and save.
When you go into chrome, the www button is gone.

Brilliant. Thank you so much.

Mine doesn't do that on Pie unless I'm punching in an address. It's automatic and quite handy.
