Mapping an external keyboard

In attempting to re-map an external keyboard, i have succesfully found and edited the P1_keyboard.kl file for instance changing the function of the voice search button from performing that function to performing an "Enter" or typing a letter "B" . However what i am trying to do is to use that button to do a combination of Both Letter B and then ENTER, i have tried "+" space etc but with no luck... Is this possible to do in any way?

kcm file has no effect

I create this file for the logitech K810

/system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_046d_Product_b319.kl

This successfully remaps keys.

However creating and editing this has no effect:

/system/usr/keychars/Vendor_046d_Product_b319.kcm

The generic behavior also does not match Generic.kcm

One example is Alt-Tab which switches actually switches applications on my device. It is not mentioned anywhere in anything in /system/usr. Redefining

Alt-Tab in the kcm file has no effect.

I am running KitKat on a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014.

file permissions

Just a guess, are the file permission set appropriately? (chmod 644 /system/usr/keychars/*.kcm)

Ctrl+SPACE does not work

On my nexus7 2012 4.4.4, chroot debian wheezy is running.

When I use emacs with Apple Wireless Keyboard (JIS).

Ctrl-SPACE does not allow me to set mark,

although keep pressing them for about one second just makes it work.

(but keep pressing makes flickering "Mark activated", "Mark deactivated"...)

In the kcm file, CTRL+SPACE is specified as "fallback LANGUAGE_SWITCH".

I tried changing it to none, or commenting out the line, but these doesn't affect.

I also used keytest.apk to inspect the behavior.

It seems just when CTRL+SPACE is pressed, no event happens...?

Does anyone know how to make Ctrl+SPACE (without keep pressing) function as setting mark ?

thank you in advance.

[Android General] fbxdadev:
Keycodes not recognised

Hi there,

I have a problem where I can't remap a key because it's not showing any keycode.

That is: standard keys like A, B, C, etc are ok: I can see their scan code and change it if I want to, but I don't.

Keys like Volume_up, play_pause, etc I would like to have them changed, but I cannot as I can't see any scan code when I press them.

I know all keys work as I tested the remote on windows and it works properly, and I can see keycodes there (but they are not the same as in android, so I can't use windows' keycodes)

Thank you if you can help :)

push: move/keychars/Virtual.kcm -> /system/usr/keychars/Virtual.kcm

Should I change permissions to put back onto system/usr?
[Android General] Moonrunner:
Hey guys, sorry about the necromancy, but nobody replied to a thread I started a while back, so I'm hoping I'll have better luck here... Now, Generic.kl (will be renamed with the proper ID's) is showing 2 columns... Key and what it does.. So I am trying to map the PAGE_UP and PAGE_DOWN keys to translate into "swipe left" and "swipe right"... Is there a unified list of actions that I can review so I can assign the proper one to those keys? Also is there a program like xev for Android, so I can identify keys and actions?
[Android General] poyntz:
On my attempt which failed to achieve anything I went to /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm, and like a good boy read the instructions... The instructions say "...create a new key character map file with the required keyboard configuration.". First I did exactly that (ie, touch Vendor_05ac_Product_0255.kcm), copied the stuff in from the Google keyboard one (ie, cat Vendor_18d1*.kcm >> Vendor_05ac_Product_0255.kcm)

redefined a couple of bindings/fallbacks (examples below), rebooted. Presto NOTHING. So then like a bad boy who does the opposite to the instructions made the same adjustments to the other major .kcm candidates (e.g, Generic.kcm). Took the following steps:

1. Copied files Generic.kcm, Virtual.kcm and qwerty.kcm from /system/usr/keychars into Mac adb directory (e.g, adb pull /system/usr/keychars/*.kcm /usr/local/Android-sdk/) where *.kcm is Generic.kcm, Virtual.kcm & qwerty.kcm

2. Added some meta/CMDkey/WINkey key combos to all .kcm files, e.g.,

key C {

...

alt: fallback COPY #@poyntz CMD + C Copy. Note: Alt: is actually Meta:. Tho switched in AWK keylayout file

}

key D {

...

alt: fallback HOME #@poyntz CMD + D Show Desktop. Note: Alt: is actually Meta:. Tho switched in AWK keylayout file

}

3. Copied updated configs from adb directory back to /system/usr/keychars (e.g, adb push /usr/local/Android-sdk/*.kcm /system/usr/keychars/)

4. Changed perms back to Read-Write, Read, Read (e.g, chmod 644 *.kcm). File was already owned by root (user) and (group) so didn't change ownership.

5. Rebooted phone (e.g, adb reboot).

Nothing changed again.. CMD + <key> combos still didn't work. After reboot checked the .kcm configs to make sure android didn't overwrite them during boot. It hadn't. Also tried applying different keyboard input methods. It seemed as if android either wasn't reading the meta key combinations from these .kcm configs or wasn't reading from these configs at all...

- Is the problem the meta modifier combinations? Does android pick up 'alt:' key binds at all in these files?

- Otherwise is android reading from a different .kcm file (so these configs are not being picked up)?

- Otherwise does android still use these configs for key-function binding?

If not, how do you remap META modifier combinations to mimic the preexisting ones (e.g, COPY[Ctrl+C])?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] auspony:
I put Runnymede AIO on my wife's Desire and it has never worked for her - continual FCs and messages about out of memory when she launches the stock browser.

I tried using a different SD card - didn't make a difference.

SO now I need to take it back to stock gingerbread. I tried flashing the Alphparev Stock HBOOT (it was on CM7R2 previously S-OFF) and got an error in Android Flasher.

I upgraded Android Flasher - now it just starts flashing and hangs - nothing happens.

Can someone help me get this phone back to stock so it can be usable - she's killing me with the nagging.

Is there another way to flash a stock HBOOT? I put the img file on the SD card - Can i flash it from there instead of via Android Flasher? I am using 4EXT recovery.

Firstly, it drains a lot quicker. But worse than that, if i plug it in to charge the charging indicator comes on but the phone doesn't charge. I can leave it for several hours and battery percentage won't have increased at all and the phone is absolutely burning red hot! So now everytime i need to charge my phone i have to switch it off to charge it. This only happened the day i upgraded to ICS.

Use a bit of common sense. Why do you think it would get hot? Logically, two thoughts come to mind

As for the battery issue, you need a control to measure this against. Like someone mentioned earlier go back to GB, if the problem goes away then you can atleast be confident its to do with ICS. Are you on stock ICS (unrooted?), in which case you probably best getting in touch with manufacturer. If you've installed a custom rom etc, try reinstalling the rom
