Hi all.
Suddenly, the "Space Key" does not appear in Full Qwerty Keyboard.
Now ".com" & "/" appear instead of "Space Key".
(plz see the attached file)
I want to change from ".com" & "/" to "Space Key",, how ever i don't know the way.
Could u give the solution?
i had exact same problem. apparently you have to do a registry change to fix it. HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime.change CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0
Your variable might not be 1 but when my screen was as yours it was a 2. Laater it switched on its own to a 9 so dont lose this registry change because your probably going to have to do it again. I noticed when i added new contact or something to that effect it changed the variable
Thank you very much for your solution!
My "CurrentET9Style" is 6.
After revise from 6 to 0, Back to normal keyboard.
Thank you !!!

who's first post? I did install the tweak cab from ppcgeeks and would like to read that 1st post. If i uninstall the tweak will it fix the reacurring problem or do i have to hard reset? Thanks
when i changed to "autocomplete" I had the same problem with the space key being gone until i put the registry back the way it was...Tj
Keep CurrentET9Style = 0 ??
Changed HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime.change CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0
This works temporarily, but when I click on the time in a calendar entry, it switches to numbers, and does not switch back unless I re-edit the registry. Is there any way to keep the setting from changing at all? I want it to stay at CurrentET9Style = 0.
Anybody?
Hi everyone. Okay, first let me just say that the "FixStuckTP2Keyboard.cab" is fine and it does work. But it reverts your keyboard back to the "eT9" and you probably did a registry hack to change it from that in the first place (changed it to "COMP") am I right? Not to knock that cab, like I said it works just fine but I did NOT want to "install" a cab file everytime this happened (after it would change it back to "eT9" I would have to go back into the registry and change it to "COMP" again.)
Let me tell you HOW this is happening in the first place, it has something to do with Opera. You can test this very easily. First get your keyboard working properly, then open Opera. Type something in the address bar or just tap the address bar and BAM! Your keyboard is stuck in that mode. Now I don't know why this happens, that mode is getting stuck in memory for some strange reason and it will NOT let go.
I'm assuming this is ONLY happening to those of us who have used the registry (or a program or cab) to change the keyboard to "COMP" instead of "eT9" since changing it back to "eT9" solves the problem.
There are three solutions:
1.) ONLY use the slide-out keyboard when using Opera.
2.) Use the FixStuckTP2Keyboard.cab
3.) Use the MortScripts I created.
Use "KB-OFF (eT9).mscr" to force the "eT9" info into the registry. Then use "KB-ON (COMP).mscr" to enter the "COMP" info back into the registry, then do a soft reset.
You can rename these files if you like.
Yeah I know it sucks to have to do a reset just to get the use of your spacebar back just because you used the virtual keyboard when using Opera but hey, what are you gonna do?
UPDATE: Just noticed that "sometimes" my scripts don't work if you click on them one after another (again for some strange reason). If this happens to you just click on "KB-OFF" soft reboot then click on KB-ON" & reboot. Weird I know.

This will only work if the option was removed from the keylayout, so let's see if the option is there or not:
Use a root file manager and go to System/usr/keylayout
Edit the file "gk-kaypad-8064.kl" (how you edit the file depends on the file manager you are using, so I can't give you exact steps as to how to do this)
You should see stuff like:
key 114 volume_down
key 115 volume_up
etc
look at key 172:
If it was disabled from waking the phone, it will say:
key 172 HOME
If it has the option to wake the phone it should say:
key 172 HOME WAKE
-If it's like this already, then I can't help you further because the button is already set to wake the phone, so something else in the rom is preventing it from working.
-If it isn't already like this, then just add the WAKE (in all caps) part to it after a space and save the file. Make sure the permissions are still 644 (rw-r--r--) after saving. Reboot. Test and hopefully it should work. Again, if not, I can't help you any more because something else is preventing it from working.
BTW, I don't use Sphinx, but I actually hate the Home button waking my phone, so I always disable it after rooting. So I basically just remove the WAKE part.

Does someone has another solution?
i got the same problem but in my file allready was written "WAKE".
Hi,
Could someone kindly provide me with the current settings apk as i was a bit daft and forgot to back it up whilst trying to mess about with lock screens.
Cheers
Please delete thread - worked out how to do it
can you enlighten the rest where to find it?
Yes sure. I Extracted the update-kindle-juniper-35.4.6.1_user_461013820.bin file using 7-Zip and when it creates a folder you need to traverse to:
System > App and voila There are the main APK's so you can keep this as an apk backup area in case you mess up like i did
oh sorry i though this was about replacing the settings.apk witht he stock android one.
No it was putting the currently Amazon one back in - I tried a stock android one and had nothing but problems with it. Whether it is because there are 2 Amazon Settings apks
AmazonSettings.apk
AmazonSettingsPermissions.apk
Also the option to change lock screens does not show visually in the settings menu, but if you add a lock screen it will send you to the hidden settings option (Notification Access) to enable to the change which lock screen receives notifications.
Tried long and hard with this if you add a stock settings.apk lock screen option gets a bit corrupted and you cannot preview edit original one.
I really wanted to mess abit more with lock screen but looking at the apks for the Amazon rom:
LockScreen.apk
LockScreenPreviewer.apk
LockScreenSettings.apk
LockScreenSettingsPreviewer.apk
I didnt know if normal roms has 4 different ones??
Hi all, i've jumped from OOS to CM12.1 and CM13 (and cm13 based roms) for some time, but today i wanted to give another shot to OOS 2.2.0 (and wanted to try boeffla's kernel as CM isn't official yet).
And i remembered why i could not stay on OOS after a few seconds... i really hate the hardware keys setup (recents-home-back).
I'm used to have Menu-Home-Back (and recents access from long press home, or press home from nova launcher).
I've been reading and then learning many things in the past few weeks, so i though i should try to edit those keys just like we did on CM, even if before switching to CM i've looked around and didn't find anything working to change these.
So, here it is.
What you need:
Rooted phone and file manager with root access (there are many but i love FX file explorer, and the root add-on is free).
You need to go to /system/usr/keylayout
Then make a backup of the Generic.kl file (to make it easier i make an archive of it by long press on the file, then archive, but a simple copy and paste will do).
After that, don't forget to unlock the system partition if needed (tap the little lock and accept to open it on fx file explorer).
Open Generic.kl with file editor.
What you need to know is that left key is key number 139, middle one is number 172 and right one is 158.
Functions that can be affected are: MENU HOME BACK APP_SWITCH VOICE_ASSIST.
But for some obscure reason, MENU acts like APP_SWITCH in oxygen OS, so the trick is to replace MENU with MENU VIRTUAL (this will emulate Menu button from on screen navbar, but you don't need to activate the navbar).
So, if you want for example this layout: Menu-Home-Back
You'll need to edit the Generic.kl and replace the Line
key 139 MENU
with
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
(key 158 BACK and key 172 HOME don't need to change).
Another interesting point is that if you use xposed installer and Gravity Box LP, you can assign different functions to double press or long press on buttons, but it's working only with on screen navbar buttons... you see where i'm trying to get ?
If you modify the generic.kl file and replace MENU with MENU VIRTUAL and BACK with BACK VIRTUAL... then you'll be able to add custom actions with Gravity Box... like the one I really miss, hold back to kill.
I didn't try to replace HOME with HOME VIRTUAL as i can configure long press and double tap home from oxygen OS, but it may work exactly the same if you want something special from Gravity box.
For exemple, my setup is like that:
Menu-home-back
Menu long press => Switch last app
Home long press => Recent apps
Back long press => Kill foreground app
Double Tap Menu => Google Now
Double Tap Home => Screen off
Double Tap Back => Nothing
To sum up, on the phone, keys are:
key 139 - key 172 - key 158
You can affect different general functions to these, like:
MENU
HOME
BACK
APP_SWITCH
VOICE_ASSIST
and maybe more
You can add VIRTUAL behind the function to emulate the on screen navbar buttons (and it seems required for the menu, as it still calls the recent apps in OOS), and then you can add double tap or long press functions with gravity box.
You don't need to enable the navbar to get them working.
I don't know if i've been clear enough, as i'm not used to this kind of things (i wonder if that's not my first thread on XDA...), but i just hope this will be useful to some of you,
have a great day.
[Edit: Forgot to mention you need to reboot the device when it's done]
Great thread. Will test
Got a bit of an issue... I just experimented with this and it was providing very odd results. So, I copied the backup generic file back to the location... restarted the phone. Now, no buttons do anything. There's no way for me to get home so a restart is the only option I have by forcefully turning off the phone. I'm not sure what to do, the file looks absolutely fine. Any help please? I don't know what to do... I don't want to reflash the rom..
If you restored the original file, at the original place, I don't know why this would not get you back...
Did you try to change the behavior of key in settings?

Yes you can, but the file isn't the same, you should edit:
system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi.kl
If you want to swap keys, simply switch the numbers (139 with 158), it's exactly the same as modifying the functions, but easier to type, especially on a phone.
It doesn't work for me. I added virtual at menu and back. Changed gravitybox back long press and double tap to kill foreground app. Single tap of back still not working.
Have i missed out anything? Oss 2.20 here.

Strange, i'm on OSS 2.2.0-X and it's working perfectly.
Maybe try to activate Master switch under Navigation Bar tweaks in gravity box ?
I'm almost sure this won't help, but you need to write it all in uppercase letters.

I can try to upload my generic.kl file if you want, just to see if it works for you as it does for me (this way we will know if it's this file related or not).
You should have menu-home-recents.
Rename the file (remove the .txt, i could not join a .kl file, invalid).
Maybe check the permissions too.

You should check if A you have a text editor that supports editing in system partition and B if you have root file explorer that supports writing in system partition (and permissions). I would recommend es file explorer, just for this particular task. Afterwards just delete the file explorer.
The easy way is to delete the file in keylayout and write the file (with es file explorer) from OP couple of posts ago in keylayout direction. Reboot and also enable masterswitch in gravitybox. Voila, this method can't go wrong and works always.
I have es explorer and root browser. I am able to change permission too. Also reboot but no effect.
Anyone else tried?

Hi,
Applied without problem, just I can't set double tap action on the Home button.
I don't know why double tap doesn't work just for the home button. No problem with menu or back settings or on long press.
I think that Nova breaks this setup.
My conf :
OOS 2.2X, Xposed 80, Gravity Box 5.3.3, Nova lastest release
Edit : When I revert to the original file, the default setting (Settings > Buttons) Double tap for the Home buton is ignored.
Hello everyone,
the Power button of my Sony Z1 Compact is broken and only works when pressed very very intensely. Since I don't use the camera button at all, I would like to use it as my new power button - I'd like to remap the physical camera button to the funcionality of the POWER-Button.
I've read a few posts on this issue, so I started out with rooting my Z1C today (KingRoot and SuperSume). Then I tried a number of possible solutions, all of which have failed so far:
- ButtonRemapper. I read about it on LifeHacker and thought this would be a quick and easy tool. It seems to basically do what I want, BUT it doesn't offer the Camera button as one to connect functionality to. Neither can I add a button ID (I'm pretty sure the camera button is #212).
- Buttons remapper (no root). This program recognizes the button I'd like to use and offers a number of connectible actions - but none equal to what the Power button does (wake up from sleep, go to sleep, Power-Menu on long press). It only offers the Power-Menu-funcionality, but that won't help me with my broken Power-Button.
- Xposed Additions. I installed the Xposed Installer first, then went for Xposed Additions. It seems that I also need the Xposed framework, but since I don't use a custom ROM, as far as I understand, I cannot install it.
- Manual edit of the keymap. There have been a number of tutorials online on how to change the keymap. I'm pretty sure the one I'd have to change is the /system/usr/keylayout/mhl-rcp.kl. When I try to save any edits though, it tells me that I can't. I guess that this is because it's a kind of system file, but I imagined I'd be able to edit it after having rooted my device.
I'm a little frustrated after all this work just for one tiny change that I still couldn't achieve so fat. But if you have a possible solution, I will try it. I would however like to keep my current (non-custom) firmware if possible (never change a running system...).
I'm very thankful for your suggestions!
If you are 100% sure you found the right file to change manually, copy that file to your sd card and modify it there.
After you are done, backup your original file and replace it with the new one. Don't forget to change permissions after copying in!!
Then reboot and try.

You can use Xposed on stock with root. You'll need root for sure. Also, button savior pro...

How? When I want to download the Xposed framework it gives me the following information:
Code:
xposed*.zip from [url]http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/:[/url] Must be flashed with a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) to install the framework.
SDK21 is Android 5.0 (Lollipop), SDK22 is Android 5.1 (also Lollipop) and SDK23 is Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).
I only support the latest Xposed version!

I just tried Button savior Pro - it can remap the buttons to a specified action / app, but not to an internal funcionality like the Power button funcionality, it seems.

Right, custom recovery, not necessarily custom ROM. If you're rooted, just flash NUT dual recovery pc installer, then download Xposed SDK22 and flash.
Btw - I'm not sure that there is an Xposed module that will remap, but there are some that can provide power button funcionality on-screen.

Seems like the file explorer you are using doesn't have proper root rights. Otherwise you should be able to do that.
You have to set the file system to read/write. If you're using Root Explorer, you can toggle this at the top, with the little "Mount R/W" button.
