[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vepaot:
Alright this is going to be a doozy of a post for my first one on XDA. While playing this game today called Exitium, I got a crazy idea in my head. "What if there was a way to take games with virtual controllers (D-Pad and buttons) and map them to physical keys?" Either on a built-in keyboard like the Droid 4, or the Xperia Play's keys, or even mapping them to a third party device such as a bluetooth keyboard or Wiimote/PS3 controller.

Obviously the easiest solution here is to contact the developer and request hardware button support within the game you are wanting to play. But...

I have looked everywhere and have not found an outside application that attempts to do this. So after a long talk with a friend of mine, we came up with some rough draft ideas of how this could be done. Unfortunately neither of us have a lick of sense when it comes to actual programming and the idea of creating this from the ground up seems impossible at our level.

So what I was wondering, is if there already is an app out there that can take a point on the touchscreen, and assign it to a keypress on a physical device? And if not, are there any developers out there willing to give this a stab (and I'd obviously give as much input as I possibly could), or someone willing to help me try to understand where I'd even begin to make something like this?

I know this probably sounds like a mess but I promise I tried to make it as simple and coherent as I possibly could. Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)

Hoping!! BEGGING!!!!

I would love to see this - like a more universal version of sixaxis mapper. it could work with keyboards or any game controller or mouse. even really useful for phones that have physical keyboards attached! Hope one of these pops up. I couldn't find any so far ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karyk:
I often use keyboard with my N7 and i have thought about this many times, it would be very useful for playing games... I'm sure that many ppl had the same idea.

I don't know about any apps that can do this, but it already exists as a built in feature in a kind of a console tablet hybrid called "archos gamepad", so hopefully some apps like this could soon come to google play...

To all developers: please make it, i would have no problem paying $5 for such an app.

Im looking for the original keyboard for the amaze, using bulletproof 2.4.1, and cant use the keyboard with the arrows. tried searching and couldnt find it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
What do you mean you searched? All you had to do was download another Sense 3.0 ROM and go to the /system/app/ folder and look for HTC_IME.apk and then push it to see if it worked/had no arrows.

Anyway...

This one works, it is the one I'm using, it is from NRGZ's Energy ROM just for your future reference.

Please have somebody can help me and tell me how to do it.

i really want to have chinese keyboard in T-Mobile rom.

thanks a lot.

By the way, the T mobile rom has already root.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
Not too sure on this one since I only speak and use English, so I think the ROM you are using has to support Mandarin/Cantonese (last time I checked Chinese isn't a language).

So question one: Does your current ROM support Mandarin/Cantonese?

If not find a ROM that does, if it does proceed to question two.

Question two: Did the ROM you took the HTC_IME.apk from, does that ROM support Mandarin/Cantonese?

If yes then I have no idea. If no find a ROM that does and try to use that HTC_IME.apk

That is the extent of my help.

Can't install my new Keyboard (it looks for an SD Card). Can't take pictures. All my data is not recognized by this rom (wallpapers, pics I took with my older rom, and so on).

I don't have or ever use an external SD card! But I never had this issue (although it happened with CM7 once as well, but I don't remember how I fixed it(

2. Also, I have NO IDEA what the poster means when he says this:

"Instructions after flashing!

Create a folder called "_InternalSD" or "_ExternalSD" on the root of your SD Card. Fixed double underscore made it 1 now so its _InternalSD the same goes for _ExternalSD version"

Sorry, I am retarded when it comes to this

I understand GoSMS can backup/restore SMS and so can SMS Backup & Restore. However, I have over 15,000 texts and it takes a while to import.

Going through different GB roms, it's possible to just use titanium backup and restore data from the SMS Storage which also houses MMS and contact info I believe.

However, going to ICS requires using SMS Backup or GoSMS which takes forever. Is there a faster way or is this the only way?

i have got a samsung omnia7 and was thinking about using the sammy rainbow custom rom, what are the pro's and cons doing this?

atm i have interop unlocked it but as i am still under warranty was curious of the effects.

advice would be grateful :p
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
It varies heavily ROM to ROM. However, there are a few common things.

Advantages:

More device control. With the policy system disabled, you can modify almost anything.

More homebrew apps, and more powerful ones (things like bazaar).

Native homebrew apps and ported WinMo apps.

Install XAPs directly (such as from IE), instead of using a PC.

If you find a bug, you can directly talk to the devs about fixing it (or possibly fix it yourself).

You may get updates before your carrier would provide them normally.

Disadvantages:

Higher risk of bugs since the ROMs get a lot less testing than official ones.

Updates may come later because you have to wait for a custom packaging of the update.

Not all custom ROMs are updatable; you might need to replace it with a new version which means you'll lose all your data.

Turning off the policy system increases your risk of malware if you arent' careful what you install.

Custom ROMs may have malware built in (not saying any of them do, but it's a risk).

Currently, I'd suggest waiting a little while to see where the Samsung ROM scene goes, what bugs are found and how quickly they're fixed, what features are available and how useful they are. However, it's pretty much always possible to go back to a stock ROM (unless you somehow really badly mess up your phone) so if you want to experiment or be an early adopter, go ahead. Otherwise, I think it'll be pretty clear what ROMs are good and where the custom ROM scene is going (support- and feature-wise) within a month or so.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentg:
so i would be safer to wait and see what the dev of the roms is going to do in the case of bugs.

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
That's my take. Note that I'm a dev working very hard on hacks that works with stock ROMs though - somebody who spends their time developing custom ROMs may well give completley different advice. There are certainly lots of advantages to going with custom ROMs, even at this relatively early point (it helps that a lot of the experience from HTC custom WP7 ROMs carries over to Samsung ROMs as well).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentg:
it seems as though the custom roms for omnia 7 are coming on leaps and bounds, what with MIRO's ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1499102

there seems to be very little on the way of bugs with his atm so i think i will give that one a shot. i know i am new at this but if you don't ask then you never find out things right :)

My apps on Samsung SG2 every now & then disappear and re-appear after a day or so and I thought it's only happen in my phone. When I got my wife's a Motorola Atrix 2 a couple weeks ago was just fine but lately the samething happened on her Atrix too. I updated her from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 OTA from AT&T last night and those missing apps ( about 2,3 of them ) re-appeared after reboot.

When I was still using 2.3.4 on my SG2 some of my pictures were even gone without a trace. In the mean time I got a bunch of blank pictures with titles ( don't know where they from ) inside the gallery.

I updated my SG2 to 2.3.6 I started to notice my apps missing for a few days then came back.

I don't know is it the Android, firmware version or phones. I was a Symbian guy in Sony Ericsson & Samsung Omnia 2 before Android and I never experienced missing apps in those OS. Can some developers or expert here help to answer my questions?

Thank you

A successful root method from chinese forum!

from: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3604178-1-1.html

The only root method so far, is to exchange the recovery in v20B and install root tools through recovery.

step 1) copy Superuser.zip to the root directory in SD card.

step 2) shut down your OB, take out the battery, press volume + and plug the USB cable (which means enter the S/W mode)

Step 3) extract LGP970.7z and obtain v20.bin and v20v.fls files.

step 4) open B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe and select:

ROM copy D/L

cp:V20B.fls

ap:V20B.bin

select mode:normal mode

step 5) click start button to start flashing, all data in OB(sms, contacts, game records) won't be lossed.

After flash procedures, you will come to the recovery interface, then, select install zip from SDcard and choose the superuser.zip that you place before.

Reboot and you got the rooted 2.3.4

All files(superuser, LGP970.7z ) can be downloaded from here:

http://115.com/file/cl3smym3

(for someone who don't know chinese:

after you get into the site, you will see 3 color buttons at the middle

green, blue and red, the download link(grey button) is at the right of the red button)

IT DOESNT MATTER which one it is, just download the bin file YOU need, and follow the guide then. Ask in the thread, which version it is. I cant answer this to you, since I am using a N version of GB. I already gave you the link, of how to get the right BIN files, via your IMEI, and if you couldnt get the official update yet, ask another one about it. Or simply try the ROM. It is rooted, so you can enter CWM quickly and also restore the previous version, if needed.
