[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Explain, are you trying to remap your hardkey buttons or are you wanting to remap on screen buttons in various apps? It doesn't make any sense to remap your hardkeys because of the purposes they serve, if its on screen and in app buttons that you want to remap then you'll have to mod your theme/launcher or each individual app that you want to change one by one(which is a lot of work) until you have all your apps mapped the way you want, this may break things in each app or even your device which can cause major problems if you aren't prepared for it, potential bootloops, potential soft brick and potential hard brick. I really don't think you understand the depths of what you are asking. In my opinion you'd be better off to leave it alone. Have you flashed a ROM that has a different hardkey setup than what came on your device? What is your purpose for remapping? Is there a particular reason that you don't want to use apps to achieve this? Its much easier that way if you know of the apps that will do this for you, whether you mod it yourself or use an app you will essentially be doing the same thing, the apps just do the work for you instead of you having to use extra hardware or make your mods manually, I would use the apps to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] Polyparadox:
No, I want to remap the hardkey menu button to do the same thing like an app switcher button. I like it better and I am used to. It would also be more comfortable for me to have this instead of a menu button. I already have on screen menu buttons, thanks to a 0 height navigation bar.

I know the risks of modifying the system and its functions.

I am on stock TouchWiz Jelly Bean ROM on my SM-G350.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Are you saying that you want your menu button to act like a "recent apps" button so you can switch between apps that you've got open for multitasking? Pressing and holding the home button brings up your open apps so you can switch, most if not all android devices have this function.
[General Questions and Answers] Polyparadox:
Yes, that's what I want to do.

The action for a home button long press is already used by a torch function. When I press and hold the menu button i get the "recent apps" function, but because the key is triggered by touch (not pressing) I sometimes get to the menu of the active app, which is kinda annoying.

Great. The new phone's really cool. ;):thumbup:

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

If you want to remap buttons, I'd suggest you install xposed framework on your phone and then install the xposed additions module. That will allow you to remap every hardware button on your phone (including volume and power) and you can also set when a particular action is to be performed (when screen is on or off or at the lockscreen ) This is a modulre I'll recommend to anybody. As for your requirement of not using any app, I think u say so because generally apps don't make the settings permanent (especially after a reboot ) but this one will surely do.

Hope that helped.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You already have the function you are looking for, just longpress by pressing and holding for a second, instead of a quick touch.

MTK6572M modem img.file

Does anyone know if there is an updated modem img file for the MTK6572M,?

I have a INEW U1 china phone, but unfortunately, the WCDMA frequencies are set to 900/2100 MHz.

Canadian carriers all use WCDMA 850/1900MHz frequencies. I already understand that this cannot be fixed as a software issue, but is rather a hardware issue.

Question: Can an firmware modem img file be flash to the current ROM to change the WCMA frequencies?

I appreciate all and any replies.

Thx in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
As long as the modem img is for your device it will flash safely, if not it can brick your device. You may have better luck unlocking your device and using it as a GSM device and use a GSM SIM if your device can use a SIM.
[General Questions and Answers] GaryJames:
Well my device is factory unlocked and i'm not interested in GSM.

Is there any place to find firmware upgrades for china phones, or any tools out there to manipulate WCDMA frequencies?

I've been researching this topic for a few days now and this is what i've come up with so far:

Frequencies cannot be changed with a software patch/fix/upgrade of any sort as this is a hardware issue.

So with that said; is there way to upgrade a modem's firmware bin file to unlock frequencies?

I know you come across this question alot, however in theory, a modem's firmware file can be could be replaced with another that has the desired frequencies, could it not?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It sounds to me like you've already answered your own question. If you know that frequencies can't be changed with software patches then why ask about a modem? Where do you have or want service, can or have you considered switching carriers? Maybe you could use a SIM of some sort with the frequency that you are looking for and maybe do something with your software so it will recognize the SIM and use it first in place of the devices normal function when sending and recieving, it would require you having to make mods to your systems RIL files at the very minimum.
[General Questions and Answers] GaryJames:
Thanks

Well, i'll probably just send it back for a refund/replacement phone that has the correct frequencies.

Just thought that mabey this problem has been solved somehow, but i guess not.

I appreciate the replies so prompt and to the point.

Maybe someday there will exist a list of firmware updates to change/tweak parts(if not all) phone hardware ...... One can only dream huh?

AGAIN.......Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I didn't say you couldn't do it, although the process may not be easy or safe, you would have to mod everything yourself in your system yourself, messing with things like modem are pretty risky, as I said in my first response, modems not made for your device are a real brick hazard, you may could recover maybe not. It would definitely involve an experimental process that would involve risks, and that is if its even possible unless you find something that has been successful already, I know that many users with MTK devices can share various things that have been crossed over from another MTK device with the same chipsets and similar OS and system structure. There very well could be something for you but its almost a needle in a haystack. If mods are possible then you'll have to go to XDA University, there are threads for doing various forms of mods to ROMs there if you search for them, if nothing already exists and you're that serious then you might could figure enough out to do it yourself, but that is a very big task.
[General Questions and Answers] GaryJames:
I got another question

On a previous post, i was wondering if it's possible to switch from jellybean to kitkat. I'm still wondering. I have been eyeing up MTK Droid Tools, and was hoping if you might point me in the "noob-friendly" direction of how this might be possible. You tube and tutorials are my best visual aide friends to date.

I just don't want to brick my phone, so a back up and recovery would probably be a great starting point.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know anything about your device, you'll have to do a search using your phones model number and potentially your firmwares build number.

Unroot phone before giving it in hopefully under warranty (external damage only)

I have an Xperia Z1 compact which I got less than a month ago, but the microusb panel has fallen off and needs repair. Since its just the panel and not the actual port cover with the rubber sealants, I'm hoping its covered under warranty (its definitely a manufacturing fault).

The only problem I have now is that I can't access the microUSB port so I don't really know how to unroot it (or if I need to at all since its just external damage). What should I do?

Tablet programs acting flakey

I'm sorry but I don't actually know how to describe what's happening so I'll just try as best I can...

Have a rooted Chinese tablet (Irulu X10). Rooted it with GeniusRoot and all seemed to go well. In addition to the KingUser app GR installs as part of its root process I also installed SuperSU. Installed a better version of Busybox too. Somewhere along the line (I've been playing with different apps like FolderMount and others that are root based) the tablet started 'burping' within different programs.

FolderMount is a good example - what happens is I open the app and select a process. Process starts, but then the program 'ends' itself or goes back at least one stage. Happens so frequently on some apps that it makes them virtually unusable. Doesn't affect all apps though, just some.

Hope that's enough info on my problem to get some help on how to go about correcting it. FWIW, I've already done a 'Factory Reset' with no luck...

Thanks, Vern

integrating user apps as system apps

I have read that i can make quiet a few of my user apps as system apps and the updates to these apps which are directly integrated to the system.

I tried making swiftey keyboard as system app through apps2rom and deleted the stock keyboard through titanium backup ( free version ) but when the system rebooted i couldn`t find any keyboard installed and also my back and menu button were unusable.

I could see the swiftkey keyboard installed but it was unusable..

Could you please guide how i can do the above and i it advisable ??

I would like to add quiet a few of my apps as system apps like a camera app, a gallery app, etc and would be happy if i could do that.
[General Questions and Answers] ccsvchost:
So I do need to unroot for warranty. However I can't use the method of unrooting as described in the site you linked as that requires my microUSB that I don't have access to (the flap could probably be prised open but that would void my warranty if it looks like its been tampered with).

Edit: A quick search reveals that the superuser app also has the unroot function. Thanks for the help :)

Find a compatible modem for your device(using modems from other devices can brick your device) in tar format then flash it through Odin, JOdin, or Heimdall for Mac, take your pick, Odin is the easiest.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Then again you could use adb or get the modem in img format and install through terminal emulator. Either way works, just different flavors. If you can't find a modem img then maybe you could get a user with your device to pull a modem img file from their device and attach it to their post for you to grab.

I can't tell you how to unbrick your device, but I can tell you how not to brick it. DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING THAT IS NOT SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE!

That being said, there should be a button combo that will boot your device into bootloader and/or recovery (google it), then you can restore the backup you probably didn't make before you flashed something you shouldn't have.

Have you tried booting from extsd card, I have no idea if it will work for your device but if you've corrupted your boot partition and your device can't "find" it then you may be able to set an extsd up as a "boot disk". Android works like a pc in that it scans all drives looking for boot, if it can't find it on one drive it looks at the next and if it finds a boot sequence then it boots and you can potentially save your device but this method requires and unbrick.img for your device specifically so if its possible with your device you'll have to find one for download or you would have to get someone with your device to pull you a copy from their system.
