here is how the keymap looks, this is an English example. You can see, it even shows you how the values are assigned. You would just need to cross reference what the values are on the different keyboards and change the values to match.

You may get lucky and find someone that has already done this, but if you have a couple hours you could probably get it working pretty easily even if its your first time. Note, you should reboot the device after changing the keymap

[HTC Excalibur] acropilot:
yeah, but i'm a real noob and i really dont understand anything of that mapping, i really need a pro, but, you'll probably all think i'm just to lazy to do it by myselve, but i realy don't have time to do it and the skills to do it... :(

Copy eT9-Full.cab to your device and run it from there - this patch fixes keyboard mapping problems with the original install.
[HTC Excalibur] acropilot:
already done that, but thats a patch for qwerty keyboards :(

come on, there has to be one pro who can fix this?
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh so you want the azerty, I will see what I can do and work on this if I have some spare time.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Also, can you please give me the layout of the azerty or of your keyboard like possibly take a picture and post it on here of your keyboard so I can adjust it accordingly.

a question on that:

i have german S620 using german WM6. I'm curious of upgrading to 6.1, but i have a qwertz-keyboard (so german layout model.) is it possible to keep that layout with a cab, too.?

Well, just read the "german fix" thread just below this one, and there seem still to be issues with the layout and some letters not shown in symbols map. .... seems, i gotta keep wm6 for now.

hi,

i have an htc s620 with azerty keyboard,

i installed kavana's 6.1 update and now when i

type an "a" it gives a "q"

so my question is, how do i change this?

i installed the et9 file you mentioned above but

i'm still typing qwerty

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Okay start a text message and go to alt+space and change language to french as french is azerty... now press alt+space again and choose abc...

Look above if you need some more help... I helped a user accomplish this okay.... check it out...

My keyboard changed to azerty, but the signs like @ and € still don't match,

any idea's for that?
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh I see I will try to take a look at it... so does it work though the azerty?
[HTC Excalibur] Daxtar:
the azerty works in text messages, emails, notes, tasks,... but it is still qwerty when i use the keyboard in the beginscreen to type a name or when i'm searching for a contact.

When it is in azerty some of the signs still aren't what they should be.

Thx

okay ill see what i can do about that okay

any progress on this ? I also recently got my hands on an S620 with that azerty keyboard. Your trick helped with changing from qwerty to azerty, but @, €, =, .... are still wrong
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tardis_42:
I've created a very simple Magisk module to allow Xposed Edge to properly remap the Google Assistant button. You'll need Magisk and a Magisk-based Xposed implementation (I use LSPosed) for this to work.

Xposed Edge is the only remapping tool I've found so far that can properly detect the assistant button being pressed. The problem is, while you can assign it to an action using Xposed Edge, it will ALSO launch the assistant. What I've done is built a Magisk module that alters the gpio-keys.kl file in /vendor/usr/keylayout to change the keycode the system receives when the assistant button is pressed. Currently I've used PROG_BLUE, which is a keycode used in Android-powered smart TVs with programmable remote buttons.

To use, just download and use the "install from storage" option on the modules screen in Magisk. Once the module's installed and activated, reboot.

Once rebooted, you can open Xposed Edge, and under "Keys", tap "Add...". It will tell you to click the button you want to add, and if all goes well, you can press the assistant button and it will detect a press of PROG_BLUE. Then you'll be able to assign any Xposed Edge action or shortcut to it, and the assistant won't show up.

Usual disclaimers, works for me but not responsible if your phone blows up, etc.

Right now the module tested with the Xperia 1 III. If you own another device with a hardware assistant key and want to let me know what GPIO key number is associated with it (probably under /vendor/usr/keylayout, look for the number on the line with ASSIST), I might be able to expand it to other devices.

It's possible it may work in its current state for other Xperia devices, but there's a risk the changes to gpio-keys may mess up your other hardware buttons including power - so if you try it on, eg, an Xperia 5 III make sure you have another way to reboot if it breaks your power button and you need to uninstall the module!

[Sony Xperia 1 III] SonySteve:
Thanks for the fine works, I was able to remap the GA key successfully here!!!

Model: XQ-BC72

Just listing out things needed to be installed for your module to work.

Magisk module:

Riru

Riru - LSPosed

XperiaGAButtonRemap (install from storage .zip provided on this thread)

Google Play

Xposed edge

As all above modules/apps in place

finally in the Xposed edge adding key, app was able to recognize GA button as "PROG_BLUE", there user should be able to program it however they like (attach is my configuration, and all working smoothly)

[Sony Xperia 1 III] tardis_42:
Yes, Magisk root and systemless Xposed. See @SonySteve's post above for the full list of modules.

There's an app that works for remapping the assistant button on last year's Xperia models without root, and might soon be updated for the 1 iii, but as I understand it it works basically the same way as Bixby non-root remappers, using accessibility services to track when the assistant is opened via a button press and then immediately close it and do something else.

The root approach lets you skip that process and directly reassign the button, which makes it faster and less susceptible to errors.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tukes:
if i root, i can't use my banking app anymore :-(

hopefully Sony will fix this in the next update...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tardis_42:
What bank is that? I'm with Bank of Scotland and their app fights me a bit on the root thing, but Magisk Hide plus the Universal Safetynet Fix module gets it working.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tukes:
i'm in Belgium, all banking apps stop working if you root your phone here :-(

few years ago this wasn't so....
[Sony Xperia 1 III] SonySteve:
I was flashing / locking / unlocking to test on DRM / finance app protection etc.

The good news is after re-locking my device, I was able to return back to Widevine L1 status, for streaming platform that requires it. (certainly stay L3 in unlock / rooted state). Banking apps wise no gurantee even after I relock the phone somehow (for my Taiwan based fiance/bank related apps).

I already have MagiskHide Props / SafetyNet passed etc., all in place and some banking apps still would detect device been compromised / unable to launch.

But, since I'm more accustomed to rooted device, I'm ultimately currently stay rooted.

I was able to get the finance app to run via install this Shelter app from Google PS, able to launch and log in all right for me.

Hope my above experience help there.

[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
I was able to remap my assistant button. I do not know if my previous uninstall of Google as well as the Google assistant App(s) had any bearing on the results...but I did use ADB to uninstall those things and it did disable the button, because when the phone was unlocked pressing the button did nothing at all. However, I did notice that when the phone was locked if I pressed the assistant button it would call up the login screen, so evidently it was still doing something!

At any rate this is how I did it:

Release 0.6.0 · ivaniskandar/shouko

This is an old release, get the latest release here. Add Assistant Button Override support for Xperia 1 III and 10 III (Thanks to @malibcia, @TheNetAdmin and @andreidobrica for testing) Fix Assist...

I want to thank each and every person who provided all this information as well as for the technical know-how to make this work!!!

I just wanted to add that when I press the assistant button the app I chose (for now the settings app) opens immediately with no hesitation at all.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] tukes:
haven't tried it yet...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Bofahad:
AMAZING 🤩
[Sony Xperia 1 III] FuLiterary:
thanks
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ZellZoy:
I didn't need all of those, you can also just use buttons remaper. I don't have riru or any xposed substitue, or even the APK from the package here, just the magisk module from this thread installed via magisk. On it's own, it remaps the assistant button to PROG_BLUE, which Buttons Remapper (and presumably xposed edge) can then read (it's unable to read the assistant button without this, which is why I went searching for another solution).
[Sony Xperia 1 III] JackAwsome2000:
Does this solution also detect the GA button being pressed while the screen is off? I'm on LOS, and the app "Key Mapper" works but only while the screen is on.

I got the silver X1. Looks more sophisticated, refined, industrial and sleek. Not so noticeable fingerprint smudges except for the polished chrome bevel, which the black shares. Most international markets will sell the black one, so I think the silver one could be more "limited".

When you see photographs of the 2 colours side by side, the black looks better. I was hoping to get a black one, but could only source a silver one which was a disappointment until I saw it in the flesh!

Hi 1+6 Community, I stupidly installed OOS11 on my rooted 1+6 by just clicking on the OOS zip file. It now runs okay in OOS11, but I have lost access to TWRP, as the recovery software, when OOS11 is running, so I cannot install TWRP.zip or Magisk.zip. The bootloader is still unlocked and I can access fastboot, but I cannot boot to twrp.img. By changing the slot to 'b' in fastboot I can reboot the phone into TWRP. What must I do to get TWRP running again with the OS? Many thanks, in advance, for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] stem69:
So, I have managed to overcome my issue of incorrectly installing OOS11 Stock on my rooted 1+6, so that it was loaded on the 'a' slot and left me with TWRP on the 'b' slot. This meant I could not boot into custom recovery. I could only access TWRP through rebooting the phone after selecting the 'b' slot in fastboot. Once in TWRP I had no access to my internal storage files, so I could not flash anything and sideload wouldn't work. So, I bought a USB-C to USB 3.0 female adapter (£3.50). Then connected a USB flash drive to my 1+6 whilst in TWRP and flashed Disable DM Verity, then flashed TWRP to load it to both slots and then flashed Magisk. Hey presto! I got root back and custom recovery for my OS. I then installed the Magisk app and for some reason had to flash Magisk again in recovery to make it work correctly. But, now it's all good and working like a dream. Very relieved!!
