Lol
But that one can be remapped?
I have read that Android doesn't work well with slider keys. The Lenovo music key has shortcuts built-in in the rom.
But our slider is an unfortunate one.
So, checking our source codes for upcoming los rom, you can see the slider key is actually used like a normal home button.
Having button DOWN and button UP events for a slider key is crazy:silly:

what if I want a button (or a soft button) for "rotate" if the button is pressed ?
any tools or configuration can do that ?
Not sure what "retate" means but if you are looking for button remapping look up AE Button Plus.

how come you reply so fast ... I have just corrected the typo ..
what I mean is a soft key button on screen that only if I need a rotate screen then I press that button.
Hmm. Don't know of any soft-button way to do it... but if you enable screen rotation in HD Tweak or Advanced Config you can remap a hard-button through the Button settings to do it...

You can use this solution. Cabs at the end of the post, giving you the option to use either the left or right softkey on the home page to rotate.
Hello all,
I have attached the latest rootfs.img from Xdandroid with corrected key layout for the blackstone as you may have noticed that by default we have two power buttons and have lost the multitasking keymap. Please find below the latest rootfs <rootfs-20110123-5cafe3f> with modified keymapping to regain the multitasking keymap and also the home button.
Yes I am aware you can adjust the end button behaviour in spare parts but you still won't have the multitasking keymap.
Update: Fixed init.eclair.rc and init.eclairhero.rc for updated android binary in latest XDAndroid rootfs.img, eclair now boot's as it should.
Best Regards,
ST1Cl<^^aN
-- Reservered --
At the moment my focus was to return the multitasking functionality, I will be further modifying the keymapping to suite our needs and to be more blackstone specific.
Best Regards,
ST1Cl<^^aN
ok fixed init.eclair.rc and init.eclairhero.rc for updated android binary, uploading updated rootfs.img in a moment...

Thank you!!!!!
Could You specify what function is assigned to each button? Does it work like in WM ?
Hello,
This key assignment is perfect I think ! Thank you stickman89
some precisions about it:
- Call button: call or voice command (hold)
- Home button: Options & show keyboard (hold)
- Previous button: previous screen
- End button: sleep & end call (if on call) & shutdown options (hold)
sleep is an option under Spare parts => End button behavior => Go to sleep
- Power button: home & recent apps (hold 1 second)
In launcherPro preferences I configured to open/close notifications, when already on home => it's convenient to show notifications by pressing twice on power button)
Thanks, but there is a way to reassign those buttons?
I prefer WM style, where power button means power and home suits home

I will later be modifying those key's to suit our needs, if I match the winmo key layout I will need to set-up long press functions as well, I will try my best to please everyone. Atm this is just to return the missing multitasking function...

can you map long press end button to recent apps,and leave the power button for power control and shutdown options? ; since home is more frequently used than power on/off , and it's pretty much inconvenient to have it mapped to power button because it's not easily accessible
so,
end >home
long press end >recent apps
power > screen off
long press power > shutdown options
thanks

It's more intuitive... or we're more used to it
EDIT: Where's the blac100 keymap? I don't find it in /data/etc/keymaps...
The keymaps is located at /system/usr/keychars/qwerty.kl but it is a symlink to /etc/keymaps/raph_navi_pad.kl.BTW rootfs is already updated.Perhaps OP could submit his patch to stineb to be included for blac100 in the main tree

This would make more sense to me too, especially as at the moment if you're stupid like me and fumble at 'previous/back' but get 'end' instead you end up in a mess with the device locked and having to press power to turn the screen on then swiping to unlock and end up back at the home screen.

Looks better to work with it...
Stickman, does the last rootfs (20110210) bring this keymap for blackstone? Or the changes aren't commited yet?

Nice idea! After hiding the navbar, I quickly realized how much I could use something like this! I'll have to try this out when I get a chance.
Only downside I see is that since we're changing the key layout file, even when the navbar is shown, the volume buttons would still act as home/back. Would be nice for the ROM chefs to have some sort of 'live toggle' so that it would switch to home/back when the navbar is hidden, and then back to default (actual volume) when the navbar is shown.
Cheers and thanks m8!
Op, pm sent.
That's a nice idea but how do you change the volume? You will have to install some kind widget.
Also this increase wear on your buttons, that's how I killed my previous phone.
there's a toggle in AOKP to hide and bring back the toggles, although this would be more convenient it seems like it would be a hassle to change those buttons whenever you needed your volume back
Thanks for the idea just FYI on 4.0.2 GSM the layout file is:
ROOT - SYSTEM - USR - KEYLAYOUT - Generic.kl but it worked just the same. It was item 114 and 115.
Working great so far. Also I put a volume widget on my home screen so that takes care of that.
There's a flashable zip for this on rootz, been using it for several days. I just long press my ringer toggle for volume adjustment.
what i wanna see is this:
tap the power button to show/hide nav bar
double tap to lock screen
hold down to power off
boom.

My bad .dup post
or you could just shrink the nav bar down to 30dp!
still works well and its almost like its not there!
Pretty cool. Thanks. Works like a charm.
Even long presses on the volume replicates the same behaviour as I configured on the Nova launcher :
- Long press on the Home (vol up) key: shows recents apps
- Long press on the Back (vol down) key: kills app

Doesn't seem to do anything on AOKP 27. The default says WAKE and when I change it and then reboot the volume buttons still handles the volume.
how?

I think people here are misunderstand the statement. "I just long press my ringer toggle for volume adjustment." He used the built in toggles(slient or vibrate) in the rom to get the the volume screen and make volume adjustments. The long press of the physical volume key is not adjusting the volume once the mod is made.

Guys is there a xposed module or will there be one to
use volume down key as back and long press to kill
volume up key as home and long press to recents..
and expanded desktop option to disable the nav bar
this will save the space nedded for nav bars...
also volume isnt a function which we use very often...we can as well have a quick launcg tile for it
GravityBox can do the second thing you want.
Yes, I use Gravity box to hide the navbar and use its Pie for my buttons.

There's an module that does just that its called "Xposed Additions"
Doesn't even need reboots and you can even assign a different behavior to ur keys acording to screen on / off status
For example
Use volume keys to change volume when screen off

i dont think it assigns back key to volume..
also gravitybox is inclusive of that module
pie controls seems to be viable solution as of now

Hi,
some applications needs a menu button to get all functionality, but my phone do have only "back - home - recent".
In developer options I found a flag to kill apps with long press of back button.
is there any way to get the "menu button" as long press home or recent?
or any other solution ?
Thanks for your hints and tips
Settings buttons
Sorry, this was the first I was looking for
there are only settings for power and volume (hardware buttons), nothing else. Nothing about navigation bar and his buttons.
could this be device specific customized in LOS by devices maintainer?

Try Button Mapper. You can easily customise any hw button function with it. Available here or from Play Store.
@D4ND310, thanks very much.
That's was I looking for until LOS16 give me settings for my device
