I use Volume Widget by Futon Redemption. It gives you two little onscreen +/- buttons to adjust the volume.
[Nook Color Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
Thank you for this! While playing with the Lockscreen settings in CM7v8 for the first time I must have set it to unlock using the Menu button. I'm assuming this overrides the slider lock I set. Stepped away, came back and what do you know, I can't get through the lockscreen because there is no hard Menu key. Flashing this should get me right through without issue saving me at least the hour plus I spent installing, tweaking, installing apps, etc. Thanks again!

When I reboot into cwm recovery from rom manager it says it can't mount sd card. What can I do?

Edit: Nevermind. Formatted card using the nook and it worked. I can confirm keysmod cm7 works on nookie froyo
[Nook Color Android Development] ayman86:
flashed it on a stock root NC. worked perfectly. thank you
[Nook Color Android Development] EpicFail236:
Okay y'all, new stuff added, including an APK that will allow you to set the keys to whatever you want quickly and easily, with only a simple reboot required between changes. Check the first post for the download, give it a look, and let me know what you think! Feedback, issues, success stories, etc. Always appreciated.

As an added request, if anyone knows how to reload the keylayouts sans reboot, please let me know, as that is really the only thing missing from this little thing. I would love to be able to quickly reload these as needed.
[Nook Color Android Development] MILH0U5E:
Which one did you load onto stock and did you do it through CWM?

THanks
[Nook Color Android Development] case-sensitive:
long press option for hard-keys editor

Thanks for this great app! It would definitely help make the NC more user friendly.

This reminds me of the pandigital novel,which like the NC it has no menu or back button -- not even the "N" home button! The developers there found a way to remap the volume buttons; that in turn was refined so that you have two options for each volume key, depending on whether or not you just tap or long-press the volume key. I wonder if something like that could be done here? Here's the link (see post #1, in particular the 10/2 and 10/31 updates):

http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php...ware/page__p__56065__fromsearch__1#entry56065

NOTE: The attached apk there does a lot more then just volume key hacks; it generates an auto-hide status bar that get activated if you tap the upper lower corner of the screen.

THANKS!
[Nook Color Android Development] tj!2k7:
Thanks for finding that, I am happy to see more evidence of multifunction volume keys, and exactly along the lines of what I was hoping to be possible. =)
[Nook Color Android Development] bigfkncee:
Worked great. Thanks.
[Nook Color Android Development] celticchrys:
This sounds very useful. Would it be possible to make the volume keys normal except on long keypress? I'd like to be able to have short press=volume, and long press=menu and back keys.

Thanks for sharing your work!
[Nook Color Android Development] case-sensitive:
The apk linked in post #26 is NOT made by me!

It's due to gottahavit on the pandigital forum; apologies if I didn't make myself clear.

Also: I have NOT tried it on the NC (has anyone?) -- this apk remaps the volume key and makes an auto-hide status bar. It works well mostly of the time, but it makes tapping the upper right hand corner tricky (e.g. with the (old) market). I was hoping that someone could take the linked apk and extract from it just the short/long press volume remapping...
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
thanks for the great app. ill check it out when my nook is done charging. This is much nicer then having to push files via apk.
[Nook Color Android Development] tekowalsky:
LOVE this zip and APK.

I would also love to see a feature added to allow long presses to generate a different key than short presses. (If that's possible of course!)

Meanwhile - wow, this is handy!
[Nook Color Android Development] EpicFail236:
Unfortunately, this would require editing of some of the framework in addition to the apk, so it wouldn't be immediately adaptable. However, that being said, trying to handle things this way is next on my list, but editing the framework jar files is a much more complex process that the simple edits done to the text files. Never fear, someone will get this to work soon enough.
[Nook Color Android Development] ayman86:
Keysmod-CM7-HC-v5.zip and thru CWM
[Nook Color Android Development] EpicFail236:
Okay all, Since there have been some reported issues of people on stock having issues with the keylayout app, I've attached a flashable revert zip, which will just switch the keys back to volume up and down. Hopefully, a new version of the apk will be forthcoming, with the ability to run the app in all versions. Stay tuned!
[Nook Color Android Development] cbogiages:
So, i really like the idea of having the hard keys be back and menu buttons. but the problem now is how do I adjust the volume when I am in an app like youtube or pandora? thanks
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Thank you. This is useful.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Volume widget.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Thanks for this. I was checking out your packages. Are you just replacing the kl files or are you replacing the binary files? Are you replacing anything else?

Are those binary files (.kcm.bin files) generated on boot?

I'm trying to get all the special function keys on a bluetooth keyboard to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] cko:
out curiosity, is there a reason the "n" nook home button can't be remapped to something else?
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I believe it can but I can not get the code for that with this app right now
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
It is a little bit harder to use an Android device with no Home button.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
perhaps he is considering putting the home on the lock button and using the home key for something else. I think i am too used to it being home to change at this point i think.

I was able to change the arrow layout last night but it is still wrong for landscape. I am going to set it that way for now since I will really only be typing in landscape anyway. Then I'm going to work on a driver to run custom apps when you hit certain scancodes. Hopefully I can set it up as a service of some sort so it can run in the background as you would want.

[Nook Color Android Development] onclebob:
Hi,

Is it possible to map the vol+/vol- key to media vol+/vol-

I would like to change media volume from home screen without external app instead of "ringer volume".

Thank you
[Nook Color Android Development] ateld:
If a media sound is playing, the volume keys will automatically switch to adjusting the media volume. I bet we can change it to what you are asking though, I'm currently looking to see if I can get the power button to switch to search with wake, so I'll let you know if I found out how.

Edit: I found the correct steps using ADB and I did it myself, however I could not find how to adjust media volume directly, just the regular volume function. :( sorry!
[Nook Color Android Development] onclebob:
Thank, didnt cost nothing to ask =D

My need was just to adjust sound before app that have sound. Since ringer volume on nook is futil.
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
any plans to update this to work with stock 1.2 i tried flashing it, and it did not seem to work.
[Nook Color Android Development] akaCat:
This is awesome! Especially the disable wake on volume feature.

I don't suppose you would have plans to add options to disable wake on N or wake on Power? (Not both at once of course: but if I want to disable N, I'm sure someone else wants to disable power.)
[Nook Color Android Development] SCrid2000:
Thanks, you saved me a lot of trouble (I f'd up my lockscreen, needed a menu button).

BTW, if you could make it so holding the key did a different function, that would be awesome (so you could turn the volume up/down by holding the volume keys, but leave pressing them as menu and back).
[Nook Color Android Development] Taosaur:
I don't know if it's something that could be integrated into this app, but I'd love to be able to assign a shortcut to no-wake long-press. I need hard keys mainly for my media functions, ideally including volume. I use the "Volume button music controls" in CM7 settings, but it still leaves me without a play/pause key.

Here's my current workaround:

Ideally, I'd like to keep my Vol- button and my lock screen, and play/pause without waking the NC. More options or an additional profile in the CM7 Volume button music controls setting seems like the best solution, but maybe something could be done with this app?
[Nook Color Android Development] thewhiteknight:
Is this supported in the latest stable build of CM7? I ask b/c whenbI try to install I get an error saying the driver isn't signed. I downloaded v5 and the .apk. The .apk will install, but not v5. Any help, or alternative programs out there? Oh, I'm doing this on a Nook Color.
[Nook Color Android Development] Taosaur:
If you're getting a signature verification error in clockwork, it's because you accidentally toggled "signature verification" in the "install zip from sdcard" menu. Just toggle it off and you should be good to go. I'm using keysmod in 7.1 right now.
[Nook Color Android Development] john10101:
does this work in cm 10?

*update* Just Tested, works just fine. both the app, and the mod seem to work without issue. i love this mod!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sciaccatani:
I love WiFi calling at home since we are at the fringe of service {Thank you Froyo!}, but how will it work when we travel to Europe? Can I connect to any "open" WiFi network and make voice calls? How will I be billed? Will a call made in France to the USA be just taken out of my bucket of minutes? Will it be considered International roaming at $1.29 a minute in France? What if I make a local call in France from a France WiFi connection? How will that be billed? I've talked with my local T-Mobile store rep. and he said he was recently in Mexico and could not connect to any local WiFi networks for phone calls. Anyone else have this experience elsewhere OR have you successfully used WiFi calling outside the USA? Of course I plan on getting a local SIM, but I may be switching it a lot if WiFI calling on Tmobile will be a local call back to the USA.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sciaccatani:
Has anybody tried using WiFi calling outside the USA??? Any help will be appreciated since TMobile doesn't seem to know for certain.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UMAuser:
International WiFi Calling

Yes, it works well. i use it all the time in Europe (as well as Asia). Lately, I have been buying a local data sim putting it in a spare android phone with hot spot capability and carrying it around with me. My phone is registered via wifi and 3g to t-mo so all calls in the US are out of my bucket with no additional charges.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sciaccatani:
Have you tried to make local European Calls while on WiFi? If so were you charged the long distance rate from the USA or the roaming rate of $1.29 a minute in most European countries?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnada:
Have you used a local SIM in Japan? With a Vibrant? I'll be in Tokyo in April and am researching data plan options.

Since the Vibrant has tethering and wifi calling with 2.2 a reasonably priced SIM and data plan would be just the ticket.

Thanks.

Just so you know you only have to have one Profile for all of those GPS Context. You just have to check every app you want the GPS to start with when creating your context. All of my profiles are on my blog in my signature if you want to check them out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anthortic:
Thanks I made the changes, had no idea you could select a range of apps i just didnt think to try!

I'll leave the copilot one however because the app asks if you want to turn it on before the gps has chance to start, so it needed a little more configuration.

cheers though, makes tasker look a lot tidier, ill check your blog too :)

Cool blog just looked through it, useful tasker profiles too. Would you consider adding them to this thread so that users can import them straight from the XDA app?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvasconcelos:
Hi, i found a guy selling his G1 on the web, her in Portugal. I own an HTC Diamond, as you know i can´t, unless with haret, have android on my phone. I've tried it and fell in love with Android. Is it worth it to buy the phone? The guy ask for about €60. I know the specs are somewhat similar to the Diamond, but it runs native Android. For +/- the same price i can buy, new, some ZTE or Huawei phone, but nothing that compares to the "feelling" of holding an HTC. What do you guys think, is it a good deal? Or for this price is a way too outdated smartphone??

Thanks in advance for your replies.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfire:
HTC Dream (no doubt great phone itself) but as u said, it's way too outdated, u rather go for Hero (atleast supports Adobe Flash), Using HTC G1 since it's release, If u just wanna use Android as just basic & not function freak, just go for it (it'll make u buy next gen Android) :D

But if you wanna enjoy Android at it's best, go for Hero (cause of it's SENSE UI & support for Eclair Officially) :D OR some Moto Droids ...............

If you wanna spend money & wanna use it all for years, I suggest go for some updated device (i.e. nexus 1/S, Droid, Galaxy etc)

but if u wanna go for some old great devices, u surely wanna go for HTC Hero OR G1 .............

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetpack101:
I have the Galaxy S I9000

If I turn on the Wifi and its got a signal, will that take over from my Network usage on the broadband.

I only download emails to my phone (7 Accounts) but this month my Usage has been very high.

Normally each month reads 830Mb/1GB (Mb's left/Allowance) Give or take 50Mb

This month it was 131.33Mb/1Gb

I don't know where the usage has gone as I'm doing nothing different then before.

Most of my usage is 5-30 Kb with the odd 600 Kb

I checked my data usage over 4 days and its averaging about 2.8Mb a day. I can't see how I have used almost 1Gb for a month.

The only things added to the phone in the last month was Amazon Kindle/Xbox Live and PowerAMP

When I download a book from Amazon I always turn on my WiFi and have 3-4 bars.

Is my phone using my Network Data usage even though I have the WiFi on.

PS my wife has 1 email address on her phone and see never uses her data for anything other then checking her Gmail. She only had 17 simple text emails last month and here usage was also reading 133.78Mb/1Gb. I can't see how she has used up her quota for the month.

Both phone are on separate accounts and connected to the METEOR IRELAND network.
