Try to find this download {eT9 Excalibur.0409.Kmap}, I believe this is what you need! Just copy to the Windows folder..................!

Thanks I did d/l the file but I have no idea how to make voice command launch since they are using program codes here.

Copy To The Windows Folder
Copy the download to the Windows folder,don't take the download out of the package leave the download in the package, just copy it to the Windows folder, soft reset the device.

Actually, this is an interesting topic in itself, i.e. remapping the long-press (aka. press-and-hold) functionality of the HOME key. For example, I'd like to change it to be something completely different (perhaps the VITO AudioNotes recorder, for example), and it doesn't look like this can be achieved from fiddling with the keymap (kmap) file.
On the some smartphones, the long press of the HOME key can be tweaked by simply replacing the default application that gets loaded by tweaking the appropriate registry key. For example, on the Motorola Q, the long-press of the HOME key brings up the quickapp.exe (i.e. the "quick list" that seems to come up on my T-Mobile Dash w/WM6 when I quickly press the Power button). So, if I had a Motorola Q, all I'd need to do was go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSQuickApp\1
and replace quickapp.exe with something else.
I just can't figure out the right place to tweak things for my Dash. All I know is that now when I press-and-hold the HOME key it brings up the Voice Recorder. I can't even find where the Voice Recorder program is stored... it's link file (.lnk) in the Start Menu contains:
22#:MSTNOTES?:notesapp
And I can't seem to find any reference to notesapp (either in the \Windows directory -- e.g. no notesapp.exe or notesapp.lnk, nor in the registry).
My only hint was to look under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSTNOTES
but there I found that it was referencing ":MSPOUTLOOK notes"... Another mystery to me. It feels like I'm going through magic rabbit holes like Alice in Wonderland, that lead to nowhere...
Anyone with some further insights on this?

Remap Home key for Voice Command
Will the above keymap change the rest of my keys? I don't know how to read those things, so I can't just create my own keymap by changing that one line.

For me holding the Home key launches Voice Command. Do you have App3 selected as the voice Button? Do you have voice command enabled. I am using an s621 with the Rogers WM6 ROM.

SQL CE is driving me crazy !

Hi !
I'm trying to create an application based on location aware concept.
And I'm trying to do a simple query to update some records in my database but it isn't working..
I'm trying to do a simple query like "UPDATE markers set status = 0 WHERE id = 10"
This is giving me an error like this "[1,8,markers]". BUT WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN ?
If I try to run que query manually it does work ! So what i'm I doing wrong ? How can I activate a (MUCH) more verbose error information ?
This is my function :
Code:
Public Sub turnMarker(ByVal id As String, ByVal status As String)
cOpen()
Dim query As SqlCeCommand = myCon.CreateCommand
query.CommandText = "UPTADE markers set status = " + status + " WHERE id = " + id + ""
Try
'MsgBox(query.CommandText)
query.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Error updating markers !" + query.CommandText + ex.Message)
End Try
cClose()
End Sub
thanks !
EDIT: Nevermind ... found out the problem.
Nevertheless, does anyone know how to make errors more verbose ?

Use SqlCeException as opposed to Exception, and then run through the errors collection....
strX = strX & ex.NativeError
For I = 0 To ex.Errors.Count - 1
strX = strX & "Index #" & I & vbCrLf & "Error:" & ex.Errors(I).ToString() & vbCrLf
Next

do a search for sr.dll. you need to deploy this as part of your app to be able to see exception data when debugging .net ce apps.
or go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4862355&postcount=87 .That sample project has got a copy. you'll need to add it as part of whatever project you're making.

[Q] Custom Key Mappings for keyboard and FN?

Hello, I use my HTC to connect to Linux based machines.
Unfortunately the keyboard is missing a few things.
I would like to know if it is possible to extend the keymapping of the FN+[KEY] to add new keys?
For an example of the mappings I would like:
FN+[KEY] = [KEY]:
Q = {
W = }
A = [
S = ]
D = <
F = >
Z = |
X = \
T = TAB
Y = ESC
C = `
V = HOME
B = END
G = ~
Is that possible?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
yay yay YAY YAY yay yay yay!
Perhaps I should test it first though.

That key remapper works great. But I don't see a lot of the symbols you want listed as possible options in the remapper. But maybe they can be entered manually.

The key mapper wont work, however it might if I upgrade to 6.5. Unfortunately, I cannot find any way to perform a full backup of the device's memory.
Edit: I've tried with 6.5 and no luck. I've moved my enquiry to the keymapper thread (took some hardcore google usage to find that) as that looks best.
Thanks.

[Q] Assign keyboard shortcuts to letters?

I'd like to assign the two hardware keyboard shortcut keys to letters, specifically ä (a umlaut) and ö (o umlaut), also with the possibility for a Shift+Shortcut macro for uppercase. How would I achieve this?
Unrooted DZ running Android 2.3.3

Really?

not possible without rooting device
Hi,
Hardware keyboard mapping files are at /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars on the device. I think that those two shortcut keys are KEY 184 and 186 but I'm not sure about that.
But to modify any files under /system you would need to root your device and I'm not sure if it is possible with Android 2.3.3 version without downgrading.
I have my device rooted and I have the same problem as you do. I'll update this thread if I find out how to modify the mapping files to produce ä and ö.

debugged this a bit further.
seems that my device is using keyboard:
MacBook-Prolatform-tools root# adb shell getprop | grep keyboard
[hw.keyboards.65537.devname]: [curcial-oj]
[hw.keyboards.0.devname]: [vision-keypad-wwe]
[hw.keyboards.65539.devname]: [vision-keypad-wwe]
[hw.keyboards.65542.devname]: [projector-Keypad]
[hw.keyboards.65544.devname]: [h2w headset]
which translates to the fact that my device is using files /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad-wwe.kl and /system/usr/keychar/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin for hardware keyboard mapping
vision-keypad-wwe.kl is just a text file with key numbers mapped to functions. And on my device ...1 and ...2 shortcut keys are keys 184 and 185 (can check that with ClockworkMod key test)
vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin is a binary file where the keyboard is actually defined. I found a nice tool to dump the contents of those files here github.com/aglasgall/g2-keymap
with the tool I was able to dump my keymap as follows:
# of keys: 58
0 0 0 0 0 0

seems that there is no ä (a umlaut) or ö (o umlaut) defined by default. So in order to replace shortcut 1 and shortcut 2 with ä and ö those need to be added to the binary file first before they can be mapped on .kl file.
Will keep on investigating

Wowww thanks immensely! This will definitely be a worthy reason for rooting. You're a wizard, I hope you find something. I'm not that tech-savvy by a long shot.

I have managed to create vision-keypad-wwe.kl and vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin files that are entirely based on the original ones pulled form the device (HTC Desire Z running Android 2.2) Just changed
:.1 = ä, shift-:.1 = Ä
:.2 = ö, shift-:.2 = Ö.
after pushing them to the device it is working like charm.
rooting the device is not an easy task tough
Sami

and the files attached in zip
Sami

and quick instructions on how to install:
1. your device needs to be rooted so that you can modify /system directory contents
2. get android sdk kit so that you can use adb:
root# adb devices
List of devices attached
SH16JRT03242 device
3. push modified files in place and reboot device
adb push vision-keypad-wwe.kl /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad-wwe.kl
adb push vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin

You're my new favorite person, thank you <3

Sorry I'm bringing this rather old topic up again, but sketolas HW keyboard remap actually made me root my Desire Z in the first place.
So I have DZ with UK hardware keyboard and I just flashed it with Andromadus 10.1 CGmod 4.2.2. I'd like to now does this fix work on 4.2.2 or how would it be possible to remap those two shortcut keys to ä and ö? And to uppercase with shift.

I checked and the files are different in ICS/JB. They are both textfiles. Could anybody tell me what I have to change in vision-keypad-wwe.kl and vision-keypad-wwe.kcm to map a umlaut and o umlaut with user keys 1 and 2. And to get them uppercase with shift-button. Or is this possible at all?

OK, I got this sorted out.
Edited vision-keypad-wwe.kl and vision-keypad-wwe.kcm. It was pretty easy actually.
So if somebody wants to replace user-def keys in Desire Z hardware keyboard running 4.2.2 with Ä and Ö, push in the attached files and choose default keyboard in settings.

[WATCHMAKER] Variable not updating

Hi all,
First of all, sorry if this is not the right forum section, not sure where to post my problem. ( and yes i don't have a moto 360, but watchmaker is the problem )
I have a script witch store in variable my next appointment. The script is working and refresh variable but only when i run it manually ( by pressing the back arrow in editor mode )
The function on_minute() is working ( thank the vibrate ), but my variables ARE NOT UPDATED automatically, any idea why ? Thanks a lot !
Here is a short video that demonstrate the problem ( script in description too ) :
Youtube : https://youtu.be/yLUiOppldOc
Script :
Code:
function on_minute(dt)
--wm_vibrate(100,3)
rdv_one()
rdv_two()
getweek()
end
function getweek()
if {ddw0} == 0 then
var_myweek = math.ceil(({dw})+1)
else
var_myweek = math.ceil(({dw})+0)
end
if math.ceil(var_m_myweek ) < 10 then
var_myweek = '0'..var_myweek
end
return var_myweek
end
function rdv_one()
if {cex} == true then
if {c1ep} == 1 then
var_rdva = {c1t}
else
var_rdva = {c1b}..':'..{c1t}
end
else
var_rdva = ''
end
return var_rdva
end
function rdv_two()
if {c2ex} == true then
if {c2ep} == 1 then
var_rdvb = {c2t}
else
var_rdvb = {c2b}..':'..{c2t}
end
else
var_rdvb = ''
end
return var_rdvb
end

Ok, nevermind, after lot and lot of test and try, i deleted all the script and use only lua code in each text field.
This is ugly, but it work !
