[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igtenio:
Hello, I do hope I'm in the correct section. There doesn't seem to be an explicit "Dumb Non-Programmer Questions" area, so if I'm somehow in the bad, my apologies.

Anyway, I was wondering if it it was possible to have an app which reassigned hardware buttons to presses on the touchscreen. So that, whenever you pressed, say, Search, the phone would act as if you pressed area XYZ on the touchscreen.

It originally came to me when I was reading about the Nook Touch, and everyone trying to get support for hardware buttons added. Well, considering most of the ebook readers seem to support taping the side of the page to turn, why not just assign the hardware buttons to one of those areas?

I began researching and found there isn't really anything which does that on Android, or on much anything, really. So I'm more curious then anything now; is it something that just isn't really feasible or possible with the Android SDK, or it is more of a solution in search of a problem that no one's found a reason for?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
Lets say you have a button and you want that button to simulate a menu key press you can send key presses via adb and the shell

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(

"adb shell input keyevent 82")

Where 82 is the keycode for the menu key. So i suppose that any hardware key that has a code associated with it could be mapped to a screen press

From something awesome
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igtenio:
Er, lemme rephrase the question.

I mean, is it possible to make a hardware button replace a press on the touchscreen? For instance, in the Kindle app, tapping the right third of the screen turns the page. Can I assign the search button, for instance, to replicate my finger tapping the right side of the screen to turn the page?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roee88:
You can't. But the developers of the application should be able to do this by overriding onKeyDown method (except for the home button which I believe can't be overridden).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igtenio:
Oh bother.

Well, thanks for the replies. I was hoping there might be some method, since it'd make developing for the nook touch easier, but I'm guessing it's not something that's needed more then rarely.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JKIceman:
I can't understand why it is so hard or impossible, it is very easy to do on almost every other os. Can't one just assign a button to a mouse click on screen coordinates?

I am asking because it would be awesome, to assign a wii remote button to a mouse click and then play games like Asphalt 6 or so, that don't support hardware keyboard, with a remote controller.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billylim99:
yup, i have the sae question as well. My intention was to play android games which doesn't require accelerometer using wiimote/classic controller.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurdjieff:
Did somebody notice that the 2.1 sense incoming call lock screen is much more sensitive than the original?

Most of the time when i bring my phone out of my pocket i answer the call.

What can i do about it? Im on Sense-o-Villian, can i flash the 3.0 lock screen maybe? Or get the stock android? Or any alternatives?

Thank you :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiteshjivani:
I've noticed this too its so much more sensitive on sense 2.1 than any other AOSP or MIUI roms ive used...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurdjieff:
Well, i changed to a 2.1 3.0 hibrid, the new lock screen is way better, but the rom itself is a bit slower

What Baseband are you on? I had the same problem, but its solved since I reverted to BB 218.
[LG Optimus 2x] k3nn4:
my BB is 1035.21_20110405
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Lately I have this disconnected network issue too. Only by rebooting the network will revive. Was on BB 622. I have since reverted to BB 218 and the network disconnection issue stopped.

Some called that baseband crashing.
[LG Optimus 2x] thaMAXX:
Have you flashed the corresponding RIL? If that doesn't work try the 218 BB.
[LG Optimus 2x] k3nn4:
Guys, do u mind to tell me how to flash my BBC to 218?? Newbie here
[LG Optimus 2x] thaMAXX:
Do a Nandroid backup first, because it will wipe your device. Then follow this guide using the 218 BB from temaseks MediaFire Folder in his signature, restore your nandroid backup and your done.
[LG Optimus 2x] hd2000:
I only get this on 405 when running codes like *123# etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] k3nn4:
I went to the guide and try to look for 218.. I couldnt find it tho.. When u say 218 right.. Does it mean the last three digits of 20110218??

Hi temasek,

I have just downloaded the test82old_rild.zip and what do i do with them? can you please write a few step for me as i'm a newbie here :(

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Flash it from CWM recovery.

Monitor if any more such no network issue (possibly BB crash). Anytime u wish to revert just flash the other file.

I'm not sure if u are using CM ROM though.
[LG Optimus 2x] k3nn4:
ok.. keep on crashing after flashed what you had told me to.. what is going on -.-'' it is worst than the stock rom seriously... been 2 months at least.. i have to keep on reboot in order to make phone calls..

Hmm.. Facing this problem too.. It seems that this problem occur at CM7 #97 and above... Same phone, same location, CM7#49 Shows full Signal bar, CM#102 Shows 1 or 2 bar...
[LG Optimus 2x] bamso:
I had the same problem, but it got solved with 1035.21_2011614 for me.

now its only when there's really bad reception, maybe no 3g coverage that i get bb crashes, and its not that often it happens.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
The only fix that appears to work so far (for me, a 48 hour test lead to no bb crashes) is to wipe /system, /data, /cache from CWM and install CM#109 (#111 appears to bring back the ugly problems.).

BE SURE TO BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING SO.

Good luck.

Edit: I managed to induce a crash on #109 but that build has been most stable for me so far... more on this later.

Edit2: Acree said phone info crashes are supposed to happen. So try #109 or #111 after a /system wipe. It worked for me but hasn't for some.
[LG Optimus 2x] KJLS:
Hi guys. New member here.

My first cyanogen rom was 107 and I had no problems with it all... last night I flashed 111 and it seems solid to me. I,ve had 1 force close in angry birds but that's it. I also uninstalled theme chooser because it was using data and draining the battery. I'm getting similar battery life to the stock Froyo Rom now. The only thing I've found is that the GPS seems less accurate than it was in the stock froyo rom.

Rooted stock, I tried CM7, but it was very unstable, keyboard sucked and interface wasn't that cool either. I'm thinking about some Sense 3 ROM, but reading about all of those bugs... Too bad we don't have more custom ROMs and Kernels.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
if you like stock feel you should try LBC rom it is much better than stock ,you can always return to stock if you want for warrenty

if you want sense 3.0 you should try Virtuous Unity it only has a few minor graphical bugs
[HTC Desire S] runagate17:
I have tried Virtuous Unity (1.27 at the time). It was nice to try some of the Sense 3.0 stuff, quite stable. I found some strange problems with widgets on adw.launcher and so I moved on to look at some other roms.

Next up I tried LBC. This is a nice and stable rom. No complaints.

I did want to move to CyanogenMod though, so I next tried out Superkid's compiled 7.1 beta (v1.1). I did like it and am impressed. The only issues I found were the known issue that airplane mode draws weirdly excessive battery and I had an issue where subsequently on recharging the phone reported being fully charged at only 92%(?!).

I will be returning to CyanogenMod down the track but I have voted for LBC as I will be using it in the mean time.

I would like to say thanks to all the various developers for the time and effort they have put into these roms.
[HTC Desire S] swordlink:

[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Using LBC MOD for the past 2 days, did a full wipe + the EXT4 flash, few problems -

1) Battery drain, idle stats - 40-45 mA & in use 90-190 mA.

2) Has hung twice till now since loading.

3) After reboot the screens with widgets take longer to populate and the swiping is laggy and unresponsive

Have I done something wrong or is it better to go back to the stock rom till the problems are taken care of? If anyone could assist with answers. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] Arshin:
Virtuous Unity at the moment...

Maybe switching to MiUi
[HTC Desire S] grav86:
Tried lbc, virtuous and coredroid. Coredroid best in my opinion.
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:

I can do like almost 3 days with 1 charge, no hangups and no lag...

[HTC Desire S] SolInvictus:
Strange how the 2 most popular roms are both sense roms. I'd have thought that people putting custom roms on would have wanted to be rid of sense more than anything?

Personally, I couldn't stand Sense at all. Miui for me, and even then I have to use Go Launcher Ex. Am I just too picky?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I cannot see how that's funny, you buy a htc device and you're expecting sense. I personally think it's the best that there is, but clearly you disagree. although clearly the majority don't.

I'm using LBC Mod with stock kernel.

Btw. People who has issues with battery draining with LBC should really try [APP] Battery Calibration - EASIEST WAY! - Version 1.2 (10th April, 2011)

I did and it works great, even better than stock rom i would say.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
This isn't strange, it's exactly as expected. LBC is popular as it's close to stock with great DEV support and Sense 3 stuff. It's a first time flasher's dream come true.

Virtuous is excellent, but slightly buggy and the DEVs left XDA for rootzwiki so it's slightly complicated.

AOSP ROMs are for those looking for variety.
[HTC Desire S] jhonny173:
i tried the coredroid but it doesnt suit my taste so i tried another rom and it is CM7 after the bluetooth was fixed and I like how it works and it realy runs smoothly on my device.

BTW can i use the unity kernel with cm7 rom? i need the tun.ko on this kernel for me to use openvpn. Currently im using Tiamat kernel but it doesnt have tun.ko
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
QFT. I chose HTC because of Sense. :D But to each of his own.

I don't seem to have any issues with LBC battery drain. And i thought it already have a battery calibration script running at boot if the battery is at 100%?

[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
I agree. I used to have CM on my old handset. Only thing I miss is the dock, but everything else is more useful for me.

I tried the MIUI rom, too, but everything there is so far away from android even though is simple, easy to use an has an amazing battery life.

Right now I'm back on rooted stock.
[HTC Desire S] basse1978:
I had a massive drain at first when i installed 0.53+0.54.. battery was losing about 1% every 5 minutes or so, and was completely drained after about 12 hours.

My first step was to change kernel back to stock but it didnt make any difference at all, then i read somewhere about battery calibration and after that it was like a new phone.

Battery now lasts around 30 hours with pretty heavy use.
[HTC Desire S] Arshin:
and voila I'm using Miui 1.8.5, prefere to virtuous :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah, it's a good rom. As beautiful as sense, fast as CM7.

If I S-off and root my desire S, can I recive new update from htc?
