[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] The Solutor:
Finally, thanks to EKH I was able to get my phone working as desired.

It's an alcatel OT-6010d coupled with a NUU minkey meant for the iphone 4 ( choosed that phone purposely because its size is close to iphone's one).

The phone supposedly supports the external keyboard natively and indeed it works.

Well... it works but not always, often i was able to switch to the between virtual and physical keyboard but usually after a couple of times i was not able to have the on screen keyboard or the physical one until a reboot.

To make the thing worse the keyboard is not seen in the system as BT keyboard but as HID so any trick based on keyboard's PD and VID or BT address was useless.

Even EHK was overruled by phone's native function, making it useless.

And even worse there isn't (yet) any way to control that damn native "use physical keyboard" setting with tasker, secure settings or keyboard swap for tasker.

So, after a week spent trying to replace the BT helper and anything else, I found a solution: I renamed the below files to *.old

/system/usr/keylayout/hid-keyboard.kl

/system/usr/keylchars/hid-keyboard.kcm

/system/usr/idc/hid-keyboard.idc

And finaly the keyboard stopped to get managed by phone's HID managemet (but still correctly recognised by the BT stack)

Then I used External Keyboard helper to make it working again, and to remap some buttons (like CMD as ALT).

Then I used tasker+ keyboard swap for tasker + secure settings and rotation locker to unlock, wake, turn landscape, and switch the input method when the keyboard is slided out, and obviously to do the opposite steps when the keyboard is closed or turned off.

Note, Keyboard swap for tasker actually does something that also secure settings should be able to do, but I found the former more effective on that specific task.

Now my phone works even better than some native qwerty ones, and EKH is an important part of that result.

Thanks.

P.S. I'm not really sure if the behavior shown by the native support on my phone is an Alcatel specific one or if it's a Jelly Bean change, but I hope this post will help someone else in the future.

I've discovered further problems with the remapped Ctrl key (remapped to Win key):

Ctrl+\ doesn't get sent, while it does get sent from the non-remapped Ctrl key. This seems weird, as there shoud be no speedlaunch task associated with Ctrl+\

Ctrl+a doesn't get sent, from the non-remapped Ctrl it does get sent.

Why is this?

Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Ipad

Hi

I would like to use a Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Ipad with my Samsung tablets (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2).

External Keyboard Helper Pro is a great application. I have to adapt the "french keyboard" layout for the Logitech Keyboard

So I have two questions :

1) Does there exist already this keyboard layout that I could download anywhere and add ?

2) If not, since I have two Samsung tablets (Galaxy Tab 2 - 10 and 7 ), and if I decide to make this layout by myself, is there a way to save it and transfer it on the other tablet ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Philippe, France
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cadilhac:
Thanks for the work, kallt Kaffee! However, as far as I can see, I'm afraid it went downhill. With a fresh install of both Emacs and EKHP, no Alt-key combo works. None. With the default Samsung keyboard, M-x is properly sent --- as a consequence, the "no remapping" mapping of EKHP sends M-x alright, but as soon as one remapping is added (say m -> p), the Alt key is down the drain again. Not sure what kind of info would help you, so here it goes:

- Tablet: Galaxy note 10.1 Jelly Bean

- Keyboard: Anker K1280C

- Latest Emacs and EKHP

- Bottom row of the keyboard is Control, Alt, Command, Space, Command, Alt, and translates as scancodes as 29, 56, 125,

57, 126, 100.

The best approximation I achieved was to map the Alt key to send the escape-sequence, but then staying on Alt more than a quarter of seconds will send two such sequences...

Do not hesitate to ask me further info; I crave for a day I could use Emacs efficiently on my tablet!

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

FWIW, when using Emacs using the latest Android Terminal, which Emacs should use but apparently doesn't, I can check an extra item in the settings, namely "Alt sends escape", and everything runs smoothly. Well, except for Ctrl+Space, which doesn' t do anything. But we're getting somewhere!

app doesnt work for me

Hi there!

i have tablet Lenovo A1000 with android 4.1.2.

With a tablet i bought external USB keyboard from ainol-novo.

Unfortunately, this is US version of keyboard and i need to write in Czech language. I tried to install your demo, everythink was ok, i setup it like you in your tutorial. It even detected Czech layout (Quertz), which i wanned. But when i try to type something, it still write what is printed on usb keyboard, so it write via US characters. I tried different layouts, but it still writes same. (and i tried to write in browser, notepad, still the same)

Any ideas please?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SmartBugger:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm having difficulty navigating this software. Basically, I want to use this software to take better Spanish and better Mathematical notes with my bluetooth keyboard (Using Xperia Z tablet).

Thus, I would like to have a keyboard where I could press some alt+ command to get superscript, square root sign, triangle (Sums of X, Y, etc), and inverted quesstion mark sign.

Right now, I am using Copy Special Character... which is a free program. But copying special characters and switching to my note taking program certainly isn't convient.

Thank you

Hello,

can it be the case that I can only

save 31 alterations to a keyset? -

Whenever I try to save the 32th

alteration, I'm losing another one.

That's quite annoying - could I get a

hint how to manage it - or is it a bug

which can be fixed?

Anyways - I love ExtKbdHelper, it

makes my android phone three times

as useful as without.

EKH with Nexus 7 (original)

Hi,

Have searched high and low for answers with no luck. So:

1. Is there any way to print out my current key map?

2. When I try to map the "mute" keycode is seem to have no effect on my Nexus 7, any ideas?

3. The same happens when I try to map the PgUp & PgDn keycodes

4. On my keyboard the"end" mapping works is there a corresponding mapping for the "home" (go the the start of a line of text).

Regards

Hi, I have tried to contact the author without any success. :( Could someone help me how can use CTRL+C and CTRL+V. Many many, thanks in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kallt_kaffe:
You cannot use Ctrl but you can use Alt and Alt+shift to accomplish what you are after.

You can map any unicode character to a key position by using my app. See the tutorials on how to get started: http://www.apedroid.com/android-applications/external-keyboard-helper/get-started
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kallt_kaffe:
1. When listing your custom keymap, press the menu key and create a backup. It will be saved as a text file on the storage that you get access to when connected the phone/tablet to a computer. It may be a bit hard to read as all mappings will be saved as unicode.

2. Note sure why. Just tried on my Nexus 5 and it does not work on it either. Some of the keycodes cannot be mapped as they are handled erlier in the input queue. Mute might one of those.

3. Works fine on my Nexus 5. Just tried mapping page down to F11 and page up to F12 and it worked.

4. There's a keycode named "Home movement" that should do that. As opposed to "Home" that takes you to the launcher.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kallt_kaffe:

I'd like to ask you to add this to the top of the to-do list, if you can.

I need the ability to add more custom keyboard layouts.

The reason is very simple - I need a custom layout for each language I type, already more than two... On top of this, of you use more than one Bluetooth keyboard, which I do, there are keyboard differences, so even for one language there needs to be another custom layout...

The only solution, don't program a fixed number of layouts, but allow to add aditional custom layouts on a need basis.

Also, can you please add a Super key? You already have Meta.

with my Huawei u8800 with aurora ics, I can use wifi tethering and share my 3g with every device I tried. All except touchpad.!!! with touchpad I cant see the tethering network of my phone. I used all wifi fixes but no good....

[TouchPad General] wolfgr:
My tethering problem is very complex and bizzare....i am trying to tether 3g from my u8800 to my HP touchpad running cm9 alpha2.All effords to make it work with u8800 aurora 2.0 shows that HP touchPAD cannot see the tethering network of the phone.

Other devices i hav tried with u8800 aurora 2.0 (laptops,pcs etc) see the network and connecting to it.

So u thing logically that the problem is not the u8800 aurora 2.0 but the Hp Touchpad.....Here is the good part

If i go back u8800 to official 2.3.5 the tethering WORKS like a charm with Hp Touchpad.

pffft go figure !!!

edit:Hp touchpad cant see tether network of u8800's (aurora2.0) booting in webos also.if u8800 has official 2.3.5 tethering works fine in webos too...

Every time I receive a call while my phone is running MIUI version 1.12.30 the phone app force closes and I can't receive the call. Is this a common problem?

I was a big fan of MIUI on my Droid 1 but I can't seem to get it working on my Inc2. I tried reinstalling the the ROM a few times but the problem persists regardless of what I do. I always run all three check boxes on the Rom Manager app every time I flash: Backup Current ROM, Wipe Data, and Wipe Dalvik Cache.

I'd flash the current ICS MIUI build but not having a phone where everything works just bugs me.

If this is a problem with the ROM and not user error, could someone please suggest another ROM that I could try out? I'm not a big Sense fan and Cyanogen is pretty nice, but I like MIUI better.

Any help on this problem is greatly appreciated.

Hello.

I have just got this phone few days ago.

I am intrested in installing CM9, but i have few questions. If i have understood correctly, I need to install leaked ics before installing cm9 (or any other ics rom). Can this be done with mobile odin, and if can, am I able to keep the root with it? (It has function to keep root)

Also, does cm9 support usb otg? There was no result when i tried to search.

Sorry if these are stupid questions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julle131:
Up. I need help, and i know there are people who can help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stifler69:
if you are already rooted which i gather you are just flash the latest nightly. then flash the last google apps and that is it job done. you can flash all those from recovery.

Make sure you back up your current rom and apps and then go ahead and do full wipe. Data - cache - and dalvik and also format system in mount and storage. Flash the above two i mentioned and that should be it.

Regarding the usb - otg not sure but you can ask in the discussion thread

EDIT: i went from checkrom v6 straight to cm9 if that helps.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No. You don't need to install leaked ICS first. I tried CM9 over the weekend & flashed CM7 first. Follow the instructions on the first page of the CM9 discussion thread & you'll be fine.

If you use the files linked to in the first post in the CM9 thread, they're CWM flashable, so you'll need to have a kernel installed that has CWM in order to flash them. CFRoot kernel will do just fine if your phone isn't already rooted with a kernel that has CWM. There might be Odin flashable files around somewhere, you might have to search for them.

It is rooted, yes. Does it support USB OTG ? Good question. That's one thing I do use a bit on GB & forgot to test when I used CM9. Given USB file transfer doesn't work yet, I doubt it. But ask in the CM9 discussion thread or read the FAQS/Wiki.

So in summary, given you haven't done anything to your phone yet:-

1) Root it with a CFRoot kernel

2) Go to the CM9 discussion thread & follow the install instructions in the first post.

Edit to add - Curse you Stifler ! *shakes fist* :p:p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stifler69:
True but once you get the hang of things and how things work with the s2 it is a piece of cake..But i must admit sometimes i get scared on what to do specially if i have to unroot and root again as i have only done it a few times...Once i stayed rooted that is it...i do all my upgrading by flashing custom roms. anyway good luck with cm9 you will not regret using it..let me know how you get on
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Haha ;-) You Sir are a noble man :D

OP - Yep, S is right. CM9 is a very nice piece of work given they've only had leaks & their own considerable hacking talents to work with. It's not quite a 'daily driver' for me at this point, but once sources come out I'll be switching back to it post haste. I'd be surprised if the CM team don't have a stable ICS release long before other devs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julle131:

Hi everyone,

I'm running the stock 2.3.6 rom, rooted, and I'm wondering if any of the alternatives support the bluetooth tethering profile. My wife's Nexus S with ICS supports it (I can initialize the connection from my Transformer, no action necessary from the phone) and I'd love to see the same behavior on my GS2.

I use this phone for work stuff and really the only thing I'm missing is BT tethering, so I'd appreciate it if somebody could check their settings to see if it's mentioned or supported.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
Don't take this as fact, as I'm not 100% sure, but it is my understanding that Bluetooth tethering profile as well as other profiles like HID that lets you use Wiimotes and Playstation controllers is missing from the Bluetooth stack that ships with Touchwiz devices.

Almost all of our ROMs are based on the stock TouchWiz ROM, so none of those will work with this profile. The only exception is the half-finished and abandoned Cyanogenmod port, and the half-finished and abandoned MIUI port based on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] biteableniles:
Seems like a reasonable assumption, thanks. I'll just live with wifi tethering and hope that Samsung includes the proper profiles in ICS.
