Hello.. so I got this on mytouch 4G... my power button is messed up, so I was able to remap it to the search key... I am able to turn off the phone with the reassigned button, but once the phone is off I can't use the same button to turn it on.. Am I going to be able to turn it on with the new remapped button?

Samsung Infuse back key success

I've been having a bit of trouble with my back button since I started playing with ROMs. I downloaded your non-Galaxy version, which only allows me to remap four keys (as you said, it's limited with those types of phones). I mapped the Power button as my back key, and the app rebooted my system.

The power button worked fine as a back key but after I made the change, my back key started working perfectly. I remapped the power key back to its original setting, and even after the reboot, my back key is STILL working perfectly.

I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth, and I have no way of knowing if this is just a fluke, but I figured I'd mention this in case it could help someone else in a similar situation.

Hey!

Love your great app and have mentioned it in an article herehttp://android.appstorm.net/roundups/developer/great-appssoftware-from-xda-developers/.

I was facing a problem. I want to remap my volume up button to act as the camera button which I don't normally have on my phone

But, in the button remapper app....only the back and menu buttons were shown.

Haven't tried other keys, but I can't seem to change the search button to camera.

I tired all 3 of the "search" options in the app.

EDIT:Tried wake lock/wake/none and neither fixed it.

Is the search key hard coded into only "searching"?

I would really like to use this app to remap my search key to launch google search app rather than the search app that is launched by default with the MIUI ROM I'm currently running. Is this a possibility or am I on the totally wrong path?
[Android Apps and Games] mug2k:
On my Xperia play my L & R (trigger/bumper buttons) have somehow become power buttons and I never chose that. I did change the right button to launch the camera but now both of the trigger buttons are unusable in games.

I've tried to restore defaults but it just changes them to become power buttons. They were called l1 & r1 in the mapper originally but I can't any way of changing them back.

Any idea's ?

Sorry for my possibly bad english, I'm german. ;)

Same problem here.

My back button is also broken, so i want to remap the search button because i never use it.

I'm using the LG p500 Optimus One, rooted and with the latest Cyanogenmod.

ButtonRemapper only displays 3 buttons 226 (Headsethook),116 and 107 (both power), but i need to remap the 217 (Search).

Please help me :)
[Android Apps and Games] physivic:
See my previous post ... all info is there

melfas_touchkey is the file where key 217 is mapped.

i use

key 139 MENU VIRTUAL

key 158 BACK VIRTUAL

key 217 HEADSETHOOK VIRTUAL

key 102 HOME VIRTUAL

this allows a permanent play/pause button to function instead of search ... the PLAY_PAUSE argument did not work for me, and this one even started music playing when the audio program was off until i deleted too many things from my ROM

this worked with fusion XII & Zeus

[Android Apps and Games] physivic:
After also i use this for aries-keypad.kl

key 115 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

key 114 POWER WAKE

key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 VOLUME_UP WAKE

notice the Aries file uses a dash, and the Melfas one uses underscore. Don't change any file names! also altering the power button without practice or test runs on other keys is inadvisable.

the purpose of this map is to correct Samsungs ridiculous design choice to place the power key opposite a volume key. Every time i put the volume up, i turned the lockscreen on. this became annoying very fast.

[Android Apps and Games] rmcsc:
That'll depend on if the keys you want to change appear on the list. Normally, they wouldn't. In some instances, though, you could be lucky and have them appear. My G2 has the alphabet on it showing up, when it normally wouldn't.

You could check, if rooted. Install, run, change a button that wouldn't be totally essential (ex.: search or volume) and change it to something else (ex.: power). Apply it, the phone will reboot and you then check if it works. Works or not, use the toggle on the notification bar to revert changes. If it did, customize the button you need to customize; if it didn't, simply uninstall.

Wow, I'm explaining all of that. I must be tired.

Funny, how the last version of this app is over a year old and it still gets requests to add. Sad it was basically abandoned. It is so powerful.

115 (Volume up) W_D

Hit "Apply" and got pop-up message " Reboot your device to effectuate the change", hit "OK" , no reboot happened , even though the "Hot Reboot" is "on".

I've rebooted manually and see the "restore button" in the status bar, but it's not waking up the phone once I lock it....

My advice? Root it. Don't expect a root-only, unmaintained app to run on an unrooted device. Thing is you won't get it to run. The Galaxy S version was for the i9000, the international version of the phone.

How about remapping Power?

I'm trying to remap the power button (my power button is dying :eek:

I'm running button remapper and have been able to assign power to the search and voice buttons. I can use either of those buttons to power down the phone. But neither button seems to work for power up. I've tried using the three different settings (none, wake, wake_d)

Is powering up hard wired to the power button?

I'm running on an optimus s with s-rom and some previous button remapping so that any of the hard buttons (home, menu, back, search) can wake the phone).

Thanks,

Mike
[Android Apps and Games] rmcsc:
Yes, to turn on thr phone you need to use the power button. ButtonRemaper only changes things inside the ROM itself.
[Android Apps and Games] mikegerard:
Thanks

Thanks! I guess I'll have to keep using the microusb power trick (if phone is off plug in microusb, wait until boot starts then remove microusb to power up).

[Android Apps and Games] rmcsc:
If it matters at all, my power button is dying, too. It keeps pressing itself, opening up the power menu and all that. What I did (inside the OS) was to simply "disable" it, putting it to focus the camera (with state None). I use the camera button to turn on the phone (since I'm lucky enough that the G2 has that button).

Try not to press it, hold it, or otherwise think the power button exists. Let it "breathe" a little so in those rare moments that you do need it (booting up the device) the button has a little more life "in it".

[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
I found a unique/dirty way to get a form of Tasker Integration with Hardware Buttons remapped using ButtonRemapper

This would allow you to have Tasker fire an action/profile upon pressing a specific hardware button remapped using ButtonRemapper. In other words, you can do WAY WAY more actions by Button Remapping then the limited few given directly through the ButtonRemapper app.

Steps:

1. In ButtonRemapper, Set your desired Hardware Button to ANY of the Media related actions (I used Media-Next)

2. Apply/Reboot

3. In Tasker, Create a new profile with the following context variable:

Media Button Next --> Off, On, Off (This is for Android 2.2+ Devices, read the associated Tasker FAQ regarding this specific context for more info)

4. In Tasker, Set desired actions for the above profile

Basically, all this does is forces Tasker to Grab ANY Media-Next commands and then perform your programmed actions from the Tasker profile created. Tasker will eat the Media-Next command so that won't fire...or you can set it to fire...your choice.

Helpful hints to make this a bit better:

1. Assign extra contexts to your profiles....For example, an App specific context so Tasker isn't constantly stealing your Media-Next command. Or assign an extra variable context....whatever

2. You can use ANY of the Media actions in ButtonRemapper. Tasker can detect them all. I count 6 unique Media actions in ButtonRemapper and Tasker!

For me personally, I've remapped my Volume Buttons (since I rarely use them; Tasker automates any volume needs I have). Now the Volume Buttons do all sorts of cool stuff I setup in Tasker depending on what App I'm currently using. Its neat!
[Android Apps and Games] mswlogo:
Does anyone have any idea why this won't work on HTC EVO 4G LTE

It works perfect on my EVO 3D running ICS.

Is possibly because my EVO 4G LTE is rooted but it is neither S-Off or HTCDev unlocked.

Application runs but just doesn't do the mapping.

I thought perhaps it might be trying to write to a protected partition.

Is source available?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Yep, you need to have full read/write access to your system directory.

Additional note (also for other users):

The app uses a "heuristic" to guess what keymap file is used and then loads that file in the "editor". However this is a quick and dirty heuristic. It may not be able to deduce what keymap file is used. In that case the button remapper won't work. Nevertheless, you could always the keymap files manually (see first post). Only thing is that you need to find out yourself which map file is used.

So, even if you have full r/w access on your new phone, it still might not work.

hey man, i got an xperia mini pro and it supports usb otg.

but after i update to ics, all of the mouse buttons, left/right/middle clicks act as a touch button. i mean, right click doesnt act as a back button anymore, middle click doesnt act as menu button anymore. all of mouse clicks act as touch button now on ics except scrolling it still worked as usual.
