This would be an excellent tool if it worked on my HTC Aria (2.1 rooted via unrevoked 3).

1. The 0.21 APK installed OK. Superuser perms were requested and granted.

2. The app starts OK

3. Trying to map Search to Camera, wake type NONE (or could be any). Apply works OK. Rebooting.

4. After reboot, Search button still bring ups Quick Search.

5. When I bring up the app after the reboot, it still shows the default Search action for the Search button.

doesn't do it's work on galaxy s

waiting for update, very usefull app!:D
[Android Apps and Games] creator2456:
Working fine on my Vibrant, just limited to the touch keys though.

Sent from this one thing using another thing. Cool isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
I thought sleep was the default behavior for the power button. If I remember it well (didn't use my GPS for a long time), a GPS fix is lost when I hitted the powerbutton. So on the devices I use(d) turning of the device with the power button is/was more than just turning off the screen.

But I will investigate it some more, to make sure.

EDIT: unrevoked 3 you say? I know I had a long correspondence with someone who couldn't get hot reboot to work because he couldn't install busybox. As it turned out the NAND memory on his system wasn't unlocked with that rooting method, meaning he couldn't permanently write to his system dir. I think you suffer from the same problem. Try Unrevoked Forever instead. It will give you permanent write access to your system directory (what is needed for this app to work)

I will be working on a update for the Galaxy S variants this week.
[Android Apps and Games] wonderwout:
Very useful creation. I wanted a hardware button for the camera on my DHD and now I can :p It worked on previous DHD ROM's but now on CM6-RC1 my camera launches but the shutter won't work. Speaking of CM these options should get into CM source code when they are fully functioning.

I get the following (I think relevant) messages from Logcat.

W(10178) No keyboard for id 65537 (KeyCharacterMap)

W(10178) Using default keymap: /system/usr/keychars/qwerty.kcm.bin (KeyCharacterMap)
[Android Apps and Games] Forge94:
If I had a Bluetooth keyboard which didn't have any media controls, how can I map them to combinations of key presses?

For example I wish to map Alt+9 to "Next song". How can I go about doing this?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
keymaps are used for the alphabetic keyboard. What is relevant are the keylayouts

Don't know what is going on here. I think it is indeed a rom problem. On my DHD the shutter works flawless. You do know that when you map the camera to a capacitive button you have to hold that button a little longer?

This isn't possible in the current version. I do think that it must be possible to define a key with a modifier like alt. I will look into it
[Android Apps and Games] jpatcol:
On Droid Eris running NonSenSIKal v8.9 I remapped the Volume Up and down to Camera and Focus respectively. When I am in the camera app the Volume up button will take the picture; however, I cannot use the Volume Up to open the camera; when I press and hold it does the same as a long press on my Search. The Volume Down will not focus. Does the focus need to be set to auto or touch or a cirtin setting?

Thanks, great app.

Edit:

If you remap for d-pad functions would that work within recovery? My trackball is no longer working so It's difficult to deal with recovery. If I remapped my volume keys as up and down would that carry over into recovery?? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] wonderwout:
Well it's probably the CM6 ROM camera. I just installed Android Revolution HD 1.7 and camera function works like a charm.

Here is a log of the issue for DHD on the CM6 ROM. Mapped the 'Volume down' button to Camera action, Camera launched but shutter could not be triggered.
[Android Apps and Games] thilan29:
Please bear with me as I'm definitely a noob when it comes to Android...but would this app work for the Sony X10?
[Android Apps and Games] Tinalv:
Sounds very nice application
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Lol, looks like you have the exact opposite problem "wonderwout" reported. (He could launch the camera but couldn't use the shutter on his rom). As it turned out, wonderwouts problem was a rom problem, I guess that is also the case for the problem you are reporting. The behavior is very a-typical.

I would be very interested to see a log file though. (If you are in a position to do that, just download catlog from the market, run it and try to launch your camera, do some longpresses on the volume button and try the focus. Go back to catlog and either a) save the log file and post it here or b) mail the logfile directly from the app to emailaddress you see in the about box of the app)

(If this sound as magical for you as the much used "just open a socket" phrase in the tv series 24 , let it be)

Haven't tried that out yet, but I think it wouldn't work. The keyboard mappings are loaded when the kernel is loaded. When you go into recovery only the recovery utility is loaded and I don't think it uses the key mappings in that mode. But you can always try (just open a socket :p ). I'm very interested if this will work.

Thanks. I think you are right earlier. It looks like there's a problem with loading the keychar file. The rom developers didn't provide a keychar file for the keylayout file that is used for the mappings. I think that when you copy the default "spade-keypad.kcm.bin" from the dir /system/usr/keychars to the same dir on the rom it will work. However it is strange... keychar files only define how a character is handled by the system. (not system keys or buttons)

I will open a socket for you :) Kidding. I watch too much 24.

I don't know if it will work on the X10. By now I'm tempted to conclude that it works on almost any device (except the Samsung Galaxy S variants).

If you want to play save make a backup of your system with Koush' Rom Manager (you can find it on the market) before running the app. (BTW it is alway a good idea to do that when you are rooted and are running root apps. )
[Android Apps and Games] 10507:
Can you make it to support HTC Desire HD? Phone doesn't reboot when clicking on apply.:(
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
I developed it on a Desire HD and running it now without any problems. Do you have busybox installed? (some rooting methods don't install that anymore).

You can find busybox on the market (Busybox is only needed for rebooting when you want to restore the button definitions. When you normally do a apply when you redefine the buttons in the main program you have to reboot your device yourself. In a upcoming version I will perhaps add the option to reboot automatically. )
[Android Apps and Games] SamUserInterface:
I think you need to manually reboot. That's what I've been doing, anyways.

Edit: Aha, OP beat me to it. I shoulda refreshed lol
[Android Apps and Games] 10507:
When rebooting manually, do I also have to click on apply first?
[Android Apps and Games] thilan29:
Thanks for the info. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Gorilla800lbs:
You must be right. I will try Unrevoked Forever.
[Android Apps and Games] ranova:
is it possible to add these functions:

Bring down notification panel

pop-up recently used apps (multi tasking)

Open application

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Janzomaster:
Don't know if that's possible, but I would love different functions for screen/lock on and off.

Otherwise, thanks a lot! This is really a app made for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] st90ar:
On the Droid X, there it only gives the options to remap the power button and headset switch. Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] hypergraffic:
First off, thanks a lot for developing this. It's a great tweak.

I'm coming from a G1 to a G2, so I kind of miss pressing the "End Call" key to sleep the phone.

While trying to remap the Search capacitive key on the G2 to "Power", the button won't do anything after a restart.

Am I selecting the wrong option? What option will sleep/screen off the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
No, atm not all devices are supported. In the next update I'm hoping to create full support

The power button can't be remapped to a capacitive button. I'm glad about that :D Don't even dare to think about the problem reports this thread would be filled with. Problem is the device has to beturned on before the cap. buttons will work.
[Android Apps and Games] hypergraffic:
So what would be the option to set a capacitive button to lock the phone? I don't want it to power the phone down. Just sleep :)
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
You can try launchkey and assign an app to the longpress search button that does what you want. In the current version of buttonremapper it isn't possible. I'm thinking of gradually add more mapping possibilities to this app but how and when I will do it I don't know yet.

First I want the basic mappings to work for all android devices
[Android Apps and Games] mrcanngo:
On a HTC Desire Z,

What mapping do i use to change the trackpad press to home button? Right now it acts more like just an enter button.

Thank you for this amazing app.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Hard to tell. I don't have a Desire Z. I think you have to look in the second column for "(Enter)", that would be the key you want to reassign.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Full support now for the Droid X in version 0.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] mrcanngo:
There is only 1 (enter) in the right column and i already tried changing that.

Is it perhaps not supported yet?

Does anyone else with a trackpad know what key assignment it might be?

I tried changing the (user1) function but no success.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] anwoo:
is it possible to remap long press / short press?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Try the attached app to identify the keynumber.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Not yet. In the future it will only be possible for two or three buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] Janzomaster:
Any chance for that?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
. Not yet.
[Android Apps and Games] wonderwout:
Bought newest version from the market to support this initiative. The new function, auto reboot after apply, is nice. But I think I would like this to be optional, so you can apply and control when to reboot.

I run my DHD on a alternative pixel density and the App GUI won't resize, screen dump attached. This makes using the app a little fiddly. I know GUI design is the lowest priority for this app but maybe this is easily adjusted.
[Android Apps and Games] creator2456:
Here is a logcat for first boot on ver. 0.2.2 and keylayout folder.

Phone - Vibrant

ROM - Onyx 4.2

Kernel - Team Whiskey ULF

I did notice that since I had the search button remapped to Camera before updating and it is now considered the default. Maybe it would be possible to build a database of stock layout files that could be restored from the app instead of creating a backup of what is on the phone to avoid this.
[Android Apps and Games] ljjehl:
Remapper original keys

@Appelflap,

Love your remapping on the fly!! This saves a step on having to hot reboot the system.

BTW, the remapping to original config still is an issue if I activate via the notification screen. I still can't go back to the original key configs, still have to manually change them. Any update yet regarding this area?
[Android Apps and Games] rmoney:
anyway to map the camera led as a flashlight to a hardware button?

specifically I'm on a DINC and want to be able to hit the trackball while the screen is off to turn the flash on.

also i cant figure out what 107 endcall does
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
First, thanks for your support. I really appreciate it.

You can turn the auto hot reboot function off in the settings menu. But maybe you mean not turned on by default? I think that's a good idea.

I know about the unpredictable behavior of the DHD when it comes to rebooting into a different density setting. In general rebooting shouldn't have to make a difference when the "compatibility mode" isn't changed. I'm still looking into this problem for my LCD Density Changer app.

Thanks creator for the logfile.

Did you uninstall the former version before updating? In that case a new backup is made. If you do a install over the old application the old backup file stays untouched.

I think the best way to make reverting to stock possible is to make a (nandroid) backup with Koush' Rom Manager. I think it should be part of the rooting procedure. The moment you root your device, one should always make a nandroid backup of the system, because in principle all rooting apps can change a the system part of a device. Making a (nandroid) system backup means you can always revert to the situation right after rooting.

Hi Leo, didn't forget you. I have looked at this but I can't find any unusual behavior. I tried it on different devices and restoring the original files always went just fine. Maybe you can make a logcat of the restoring procedure?

Are there any other people who have problems with restoring the original bindings?
[Android Apps and Games] ljjehl:
The trick I have is trying to capture the log and save before v. .2.2 auto reboots
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
At this moment only the current reassignments are possible. These are the (low level) reassignaments that are provided by the Android system itself.

I think I should make a note of this in the first post. In principle these are all the assignments one can do. I first want to make this work for as most android devices as possible and then I will take this app a step forward.

About the 107 button. Many buttons are reserved for a attached hardware keyboard. Some (not all) of them can be reassigned when one attach a keyboard (like for example a bluetooth keyboard)
[Android Apps and Games] rmoney:
Ahh, makes sense.

Another question, would it be possible to set the volume up/down keys long press? Like keep them to change volume, but holding up/down would be assignable?
[Android Apps and Games] Peelypeel:
I'm trying to remove the power button, and set the optical track button to do be the power button. but i don't see it listed in the app, there is one called "endcall" but surely thats not the optical button? and how do I set it to be the same as the power button?

[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
thanks. How is the camera button handled on the vibrant? Is it attached to the long press search button?

Am I right when i'm saying that the former (or current 0.2.2) version is better for the Vibrant? Only thing that seems to be missing from 0.2.2 version are the volume buttons and the power button. Is that right?
[Android Apps and Games] creator2456:
I remapped the search button to pull up the camera. I honestly can't remember what stock long press on the search button did, never used it anyways.

I would say so. 0.2.3 adds the dpad stuff which isn't on the Vibrant. Don't think people want to lose volume controls either. Once (if) long press on the volume is figured out, then having that enabled might be useful.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
So what do you think? Is 0.2.2 better? Is it enough for the Vibrant to map the menu, home, back and search button?

I think i'm now moving forwards and going to work on a version that can map also apps etc.
[Android Apps and Games] creator2456:
I'd say that those 4 should be enough. I don't see an advantage of mapping the power button unless done app specific (like this camera mod that uses the power button to take the picture).

[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
If you like we can work this out together. I know that on some devices the buttonremapper doesn't work. In order to make it work on those devices I have to get access to the "properitary" way the mappings are handled. For that I need some device specific input from a user.

I retraced my steps and I think that I see where the problem is. I noticed the date on spade-keypad-v0.kl had changed to today's date and then I viewed it. Your program had remapped 114 and 115 and deleted the wake command after each one of them but the phone still wakes when the phone is unlocked and I hit the volume button. I use nolock and prefer not to lock the phone but I can't carry it with me that way because the volume control wakes the phone. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
I have my volume buttons remapped to dpad up and down (with state NONE) and the device doesn't wake up when I hit the volume buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] SamStone:
Is your device locked when it goes into sleep mode? Mine doesn't wake either when it is in locked mode but when it's unlocked and in sleep mode, hitting the volume keys wakes it up. I tried remapping it to dpad and it changes them to dpad but it still wakes up when it's unlocked in sleep mode.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Yes mine is locked. Sorry, didn't test it in unlocked mode. I can try to add an option to make the buttons do nothing?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
New update (0.2.4): On some devices (for example HD2) the restore function didn't work. Fixed that.
[Android Apps and Games] SamStone:
If there is any way to program the buttons where the only way the phone wakes up is with the power button just like when it is locked that would be nice but maybe I need to just leave it in locked mode when I am carrying it with me in its case. Thanks for the effort, it's a great program.

I set for my needs to delete the mail server when downloaded to the computer while leaving it there when the exhaust from your handheld and so far we all ok.

Since I installed the 3.14 rom but every time I get mail-sending all the IMAP4 or POP3 account, be it when I get sent from your handheld-all I synchronize with the server status, in the sense that if I have previously downloaded mail pc from the server and then I have nothing, I accessed from the handheld are also deleted the mail that I had previously on the phone, this is not happening to me with 1.66.

I am running Myn warm 2.2 rls 3. I will be going to rls 4 shortly. I have yet to establish a procedure for updating/switching ROMs that works.

I have had best results wiping data, cache, and dalvik, but then I have to get my phone back up-to-date. I use Titanium Backup (paid) and it restores pretty well. Again best procedure that works consistently for me is to restore only user apps and data, but then I have to resetup homescreen settings, ringtones, speed dial, bluetooth pairings, wifi keys, etc. I have run into problems when restoring system data with TB. Any ideas for a procedure that works consistently?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
To go from RLS3 to RLS4 you should only have to wipe dalvik and cache.

To go from one version of CyanogenMod to a newer one, you only need to flash the update.

To go from two completely different ROMs, you have to wipe data and cache. You can restore WiFi, Bluetooth, and Phone settings via TitaniumBackup, in addition to all your apps.

Doing a search on here for five seconds would have gotten you all of these answers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] todivefor:
I have not gone to a newer release of Myn yet. The recommendation is to do a full wipe. I will try cache and dalvik, but in the past with other roms this has caused problems.

BTW, I did search (took me much more than 5 mins) and found nothing helpful to my situation.
