[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
Do you think your physical keyboard could be more efficient if its layout was slightly different?

Do you want special characters to appear just by hoding down FN and hitting a key of your choice??

Are you too lazy or not badass enough to mess around with your physical keyboard layout yourself???

Well, here is the solution:
​

I will customize your keyboard layout at your wish!

The only things you need are:

A rooted HTC G2/Desire Z/Vision

A root file explorer OR

ADB

The only things I need are:

Your /system/usr/keychars folder

Your /system/usr/keylayouts folder

A list of characters that appear when you hold down FN and hit all the 2nd row's character keys one after another from left to right

Of course your change request

So here is an example of how it might go:

You think: "Damn, I'm a German and bought a G2 from America but I totally hate holding down the 'A' button to write 'Ä' and the 'Z' button should rather write 'Y' because I'm used to it!!!" (can be applied to any other language)

You check if you have the things that you need

You copy the folders that I need to your computer (with the help of root browser or ADB), put them into one keyfiles.zip file and attach it to your post

You write the characters that appear when holding down FN and hitting the 2nd row's keys into your post e.g.

!#$%&*()/​

You write your change request(s) into your post e.g.

When hitting FN+A I want 'ä' to appear and when hitting SHIFT+FN+A I want 'Ä' to appear

'!' can be moved to SHIFT+.

Furthermore I wish that Z could write 'Y' and vice versa​

You let me do some magic (hex-editing)

I attach the file(s) that has(have) to be replaced

You (make a NANDROID backup and) put the files into their respective place

You tell me if it works

P.S.:

As I wasn't able to test this on many devices it might happen that I am not able to fulfill all of your wishes. If that happens, please don't get angry. I'm sure that we can find another solution for you. If questions come up along the way don't hesitate asking.

DISCLAIMER:

Though it is quite unlikely that anything goes wrong I am not responsible for any kind of damage that could happen to you, your phone, your family, your nation and anything else that you think is this modification's fault. You decide to ask me for a favor and you take the risk of it. I am completely willing to help you if there are any problems but don't blame me for them.​

I see what you want but I fear that this does not have much to do with the keyboard's mapping but more with the dictionary's configuration. You should tell me if I'm wrong.

I could just make your keyboard write characters with key combinations like making FN+SHIFT+E write é.

I'm sorry that I can't give you exactly what you need :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kieters:
Are you willing to do this for me on my Motorola Droid Pro+?

At the moment, when you hold down a key rather than showing the character/number assigned to that letter it shows foreign accented characters... I don't type in any language other than english so I don't really need this. The alt key is in a really awkward place, it really slows me down!

Thanks

You can make the number or so appear when holding fn and not only pressing it before?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
So you want me to

alter the caracters/numbers that appear when holding a key? I don't think that I'm the right person to do this as I assume it to be something very software related.

I don't get what you want me to do, could you explain it a little more?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualflyer:
I've probably misread... Now I have to press fn release it and press key. Are you able to mod it so that fn effect is active only when it's still pressed

example:

now:press fn release fn press a get the special character

want:press fn release fn press a get a, press fn press a get the special character release fn
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zofox:
Is possible to personalise keyboard even with miui? Because I can't use fn+ z = £ and fn+ x = € so if u can make them works :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
When I started this thread I was unable to imagine what kinds of modification people want to apply to their keyboards. :D

In Ice Cream Sandwich the keychar files allow you to vary the key's behaviour depending on whether the shift key is pressed or a capslock is active. But I didn't see anything like fn-lock there. So I think it's not possible to let the keyboard ignore fn-lock. (Excuse me if there is an expression for that - I don't know it if there is any so I just call it "fn-lock".)

I've never had a look at MIUI's keychars/-layout files but it's worth a try. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberbozzo:
Hi,

Previous year I bought a Desire Z in Belgium (so with a Belgian AZERTY keyboard).

Previous month I replaced the motherboard.

Now the whole phone is in QWERTY. SO I remapped the keychars and keylayout files to make it AZERTY again.

It is well done, but some things I'm missing:

- Some characters who aren't in the right way.

- All the rest is allright (qwerty is now azerty again).

I have this keyboard (it is exactly the same):

http://www.android-pour-les-nuls.fr.../HTC_Desire_Z/HTC-Desire-Z-dessus-clavier.jpg

In attachement you find the 2 keyboard files.

For example:

The key in the left corner of the keyboard doesn't function pretty good (@ and ! as you see on the picture).

The key with the € symbol, doens't work.

What I am doing wrong?

For the rest, it's pretty good modified I think

Do you have any solution?

Thx very much!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TpmKranz:
Okay, I'll have a look at it and do my best to find a solution.

i am running 4.2 aosp by andromadus and i want to add a hebrew layout to my physical keyboard

i attached the two folders and an image describing the way i want the layout to be but when pressing fn i want the same symbols you have when you press fn in english layout

thanks for your work will gladly reward you
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
So this is kinda weird but it happened lol.

I had a dream that someone posted a queston that had to do with v.4 of the thunderhawk rom and when I went to the dev section it was actually there lol. I was so happy but then I woke up lol. But anyway I'd like to thank our amazing devs on here and especially randomking for his great roms. All the other roms are great too, but for some reason my phone just loves random roms lol. So hopefully he'll release his el30 rom sometime soon or make a newer one. I just can't wait lol.

And just a little comment... how come everyone seems to be soo caught up in cm7, cm9, and miui..? They are very amazing and I'm currently running cm7 but I miss tw roms. I feel like no one is making or updating them anymore. I hope something good happens when fc09 gets around to everyone.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
CM9 destroyed all other roms in my opinion. The reason cm is better than touchwiz is that it is fully open source and is as close to pure android as possible when still keeping a lot of features.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I'm looking forward to it too because all aosp roms act worse in low signal areas than any tw rom
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Exactlyyy my opinion like on tw roms I would get minimum 2 bars in my basment but on cm7 I get nonee and voice calls quality isn't as good as tw roms but other than that I like cm7 way more cuz it has a million things more than regular tw and the speaker is louder in tw roms than cm7 so if those 2 things were ficed cm7 would b perfect to me lol but I still miss having a tw rom lol
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
I agree.. I do hope viper gets updated, and to each his own.
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
As with anything - YMMV.

I've been a huge RandomROM fan, I was a tester for him.

I am enjoying helping with CM9 (with what I can)

The great thing about our phones is that they allow us to flash and modify and just make it our own, thank you Samsung !! Then we come here and have these great devs making so many options to choose from, thank you Devs!!

Everyone has different things they like to use their phone for, each rom aims at different targets and thus fits different needs.

They're ALL awesome, its the users job to select the best one that works for them :D ... tough to have choises ...

Just say'n
[Epic 4G General] a2tz:
I love having choices. Sometimes I get tired of one rom and want a change so ill flash a TW rom. Or vice versa. Right now...cm9. 2 weeks ago...cleanGB. thank you to all that give me those choices
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
I love the choices too but I just wish there was some mega rom that had all the settings of cm7 but the look and feel of tw roms but its probably better this way its just sometimes I can't make up my mind on which rom to use lol but I was on thunderhawk 3.4 I think and as soon as cm7 beta 1 came out I switched now I think ill switch back to any updated or new tw rom that comes our and then ill come back to cm7 when it gets updated to something newer lol and I flashed cm9 and miui a few times but they stll have some bugs that I can't stand so I keep switching between tw roms and cm7 I'm glad I bought this phone it was well worth its full price

So, got an HTC Detail from Ting, (Unbranded HTC EVO Shift), and I'm trying to root it, but ADB is not reading any devices when I have it connected, despite having the lastest version of HTC Sync, nuking the natives and trying the Google Drivers, and giving admin rights to ADB, in that order. Device Manager is giving me a exclamation mark on the ADB device, but Android Phone is mounted as D:/ either bouncing queries or giving me SD Card access when I pick it from the USB menu on the phone. Running Windows 8 preview and Android 2.2, help?

:cool::cool::cool: DOWNLOAD :cool::cool::cool:

I'm not going to get into it too much here as this is basically a re-hash of my SENSELESS rom. however I've added a few more goodies which are as follows...

-Beats Audio thanks to fuss132 and mind4x8r

-Adreno200 script

-Extended Quick settings (themeable) thanks to mind4x8r

-New Kernel and Governors [OC max 825Mhz] multitouch fix thanks to einstein.frat

-google play shop

-sms popup

-nice blue theme thanks to UOT Kitchen

if you want to theme here are the files for upload

http://www.mediafire.com/?min2j6ngu77mdpi

1. Backup your apps (I use Titanium Backup) Make a Nandroid in case you want to go back to your old Setup.

2. If you don't have an EXT partition, you need one for Link2SD. You can use the built in one in clockwork or mini partition tool for PC, (mine is EXT4 1024MB) I also have a 512mb linux swap partition as this kernel supports swap and journaling.(make sure all partitions are set to primary).

3. Wipe Data, cache, and Dalvik.. then flash my Rom (First Boot will take around 3 mins)

4. Proceed with system setup as normal except dont sign in to google yet.

5. Setup Link2sd.. Launch the app choose your EXT partition go to settings and select auto link apps (now every app you install will be linked to the EXT partition..conserving your internal memory).

6. Setup Nofrills.. choose your preferred settings and click apply on boot.

7. Setup adfree

8.Restart Phone

9. Sign in to google and restore all of your apps and settings (via Google or Titanium) and they will be Auto-Linked to the EXT partition.

10. Enjoy

[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
why does my phone restart whenever i install an app from the play store?
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
got this running on my sons phone with links2sd.

But I would like to run it with no link2sd or data2sd etc, but when I run without a partition after apps install the phone restarts and upon reboot the app is not there, not installed.

I have tried removing links2sd and it does uninstall but it keeps coming back.

I never had this problem on your last senseless rom, with no links2sd, it worked perfect for me.

Any ideas jermzii?

Would love to run this but without the partition.
[HTC Wildfire S] vieose:
This Rom isn't Sense less. It's just a Sense Rom without Rosie and with GoLauncher with little tweaks. That's all.
[HTC Wildfire S] jermzii:
rosie + myHTC = Sense . But they're gone, however if you want to get technical, true alot of the apps like dialer, contacts, messages and Music are considered sense apps.. if I removed those, the phone would be rendered somewhat useless no?
[HTC Wildfire S] jermzii:
I'll cook a version just for you without app2sd... check your private messages for link in a day or 2
[HTC Wildfire S] jermzii:
no idea works fine for me.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
Thanks jermzii, appreciate that mate:thumbup:

Edit: working great, restored my apps using titanium, converted most of them to system apps into the Rom and integrated dalvik cache into the Rom now have 100mb with my apps installed.

Thanks again for a top Rom.

Looks like a nice ROM, but doesn't work properly. Hangs on boot randomly. Flashed a standard kernel instead, works occasionally, but suffers from massive problems, such as not being able to mount SD card for partitioning, random app crashes all the time too. Shame because I like the look of this ROM a lot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatwasntit:
I'm writing an app part of whose functionality is to record audio through the microphone. The recording seems to stop as soon as the screen times out and the phone enters what I think is sleep mode. I've noticed that some apps(Tokasiki's Voice Recorder, for one) don't seem to have this problem on this phone(Motorola Atrix) and continue to record audio long after the screen has faded to black. I've tried using a partial wake lock but it doesn't seem to maintain the recording. Should I use AudioRecord instead of MediaRecorder? Voice Recorder seems to get by without using AudioRecord.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks in advance,

Raj

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] senne-vdb:
Hi fellas,

I found a decent alternative to Media Go, which seems to have some flaws.

getsongbird.com/ (can't post links yet)

It's called "Songbird", and has both Windows and Mac apps, but also one for Android that contains a decent widget to place on your home screen. Seems to sync way better than the standard Media Go.

For those who are interested, here's a bit of a background story to it.

Just wanted to share what I've been messing around with today. Media Go is supposed to be what iTunes is to iPod/iPhone: a decent mediaplayer as well as a sync tool to sync your music and vids to your Xperia S and such.

Now I have a bit of an OCD when it comes to my iTunes library: everything needs to be perfectly organized with with correct mp3 tags and album art. So all the songs in my iTunes are as correct as it gets. But today, I wanted to sync my iTunes library to my Xperia S using Media Go. I was glad to see that they had incorporated "sync your iTunes library", so I did that and it added all my music. Looked pretty good, all the album art was still there and so on.

So I synced my music to the phone, only to find out that for some reason I still haven't been able to identify, it messed up quite a lot of songs. All of a sudden, I had 350 songs from "unknown artists" and stuff like that. Not good. Tried to find the source of these mistakes, fixed some tags here and there but on the phone, it stayed like that.

I then decided to try a third-party app called Songbird. It has a Windows app as well as a droid one and a widget, and I tried adding my iTunes library. Seemed to do the job, so I synced it to my phone and bam, no more unknown artists and a perfectly sorted music library on my phone. It's perfectly organized in the standard music player, but also in the Songbird droid app and the widgets both work like a charm.

So here's my tip for all you guys who also would like to have a perfect music library on their devices: use Songbird if Media Go ****s up.

Hope this helped some people. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hitmax117:
Never heard of that app but really anything beats Media Go no?

I've been using an app called 'doubleTwist' for a couple of months now and it works perfect as well. You can easily select which iTunes playlist to Sync and all the rest is automatic.

So I can recommend that program to ;)
