Remap keys, how?

Hi! I've been trying to remap my keys (for fun of course). I've been editing system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl. but when i remapped and rebooted it still uses the keys as if nothing was changed. Are there more files i need to change?

When you press menu it will go back, and when you press back it will act like menu button, confusing at start but i am used to it now. Using it as i forgot to make a nandroid lol. Will maybe make an aroma script so you can pick reverse the buttons or uninstall (reverse to default).

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button
Hi developers ,
I am really thankful for all your contributions that you've made for all of us , I am coming with a new request to see if this is possible ,
I've got mod which helps me to make the Volume rocker button on note to work as previous and next tracks changer when screen is off ,
If this is the case i am looking forward to check with you guys if its possible that when the screen is off can we make the power button for long press as Play Pause ?

This should be possible but power button could actually switch off the phone as well.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Hey, i dont know much about those things, but i dont think menu button would be a good choice since it is a capacitive button... I'd rather use the home button, cause theres no further use on longpressing it on the lockscreen?
peace

[Q] Disable hardware buttons

Hi,
I would like to disable the hardware buttons from my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 since I already made the softkeys visible by changing the /system/build.prop file.
I found HowTo's for other Samsung devices. All of them proposed a modification of the /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl file by deactivating the mappings for the keys 139, 158 and 172 (see this thread). Unfortunately, this isn't working for my Tab 3.
Can someone give my advice in this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Greeny

Im curious what edit you made to enable the soft keys
Sent from my SM-T217S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the end of /system/build.prop. If you are interested in the source I could post a link, even if I'm not sure whether external links are accepted.

I've got mine disabled and all you do is put # in front of the key mappings.
What I want to know is how to switch the back key (which defaults to the right) and the menu key (which defaults to the left). It's a pain to have the back key on the right.
Anyone know how to swap them, I've tried different steps for galaxy devices and nothing's working.

Thanks for your answer, but this isn't working for me. I prepended the 3 lines with a # and rebooted the device. But the three hardware buttons are still working

Do you talk about the mappings in the Generic.kl file? I just opened the other *.kl files and noticed keymappings for the same keys in many other files, like vnc-kbd.kl

Open up sec_touchscreen.kl and place a # in front of key 139 MENU and key 158 BACK.
This will disable the Samsung buttons.

Thank you! That solved it!

When you added the soft keys did it make the launcher bar at the bottom move up and overlap the page dots for the home pages? I turned them on in gravity box and thats what happened.
Thanks

The soft keys do not overlap the page dots, but they are now really close (see attached screenshot).

ok good to know, thanks.
I am having some issues with overclocking here on stock ROM so need to consider switching to custom, since as rooted I won't get official update anyway
the major thing with custom is that there is no multi-window available which I heavily use .

Possible to change buttons for the navigation bar?

In my former smartphones I always had the back button to the left and the app switching button to the right. Is it in any way possible to swap their positions?

Never had an issue, just practice getting used to the timing

If you want your screenshot on the desktop (and you use Windows), just try my adbgrab.exe (in the sig).
Code:
C:\>adbgrab.exe shot.png

Here is a great article on it... using the palm swipe looks like it will solve your problem. Check out scroll capture also, that is cool.

Here is a video demo using the Z fold 3... for me I just use the power and volume down button, then have additional options with menu that pops up after you take the screen shot.

Is there a 3-finger swipe for screenshots available in Samsung cause I'm new to this brand?

C:\>adb pull /sdcard/myshot.png

No, they have the palm swipe only as far as I know, although you have to activate it in settings first, for it to work... you can try an app to create a macro, (great feedback in the comments ,but one them says the phone needs to be rooted which may or may not be) based on whatever you want as shown in this video.... not English, in Hindi, but you can make out the details and process from the visuals.
If all else fails, the power and volume rocker low buttons pressed the same time will take a screen shot by default.

Where i can find long press on one hand ?

just my 2 cents; i use good lock and the module navstar. i've put in 2 extra icons in the nav bar (originally has 3: back, home and apps). the other 2 to the left side that have been added are power off and screenshot.

Men thank so much for this tips

From my end, I use the button mapper and set up volume down long press as screenshot. I tried with one hand gestures and somehow, I prefer physical button. Would love to use bixby routine instead but couldn't find a way to screenshot.

Tap tap is my go to. Simply double tap the back of the phone and bam!

Lol I always turn my phone sideways so I can do the volume down & power button press two handed!
