volume setting

I am trying to set the volume to my needs then put it back after. I have use the code from ppc developer network and when that did not set the correct volume I also did the registry as well. Don't worry about "reg", its my registry class and it works fine.
DWORD oldReg=0;
oldReg=reg->readDWORDfromReg(name,path);
reg->saveDWORDtoRegistry(name,path,0xffffffff);
WAVEFORMATEX wf;
wf.wFormatTag = WAVE_FORMAT_PCM;
wf.nChannels = 1;
wf.nSamplesPerSec = 8000 * 1000;
wf.wBitsPerSample = 8;
wf.nBlockAlign = wf.nChannels * wf.wBitsPerSample / 8;
wf.nAvgBytesPerSec = wf.nSamplesPerSec * wf.nBlockAlign;
wf.cbSize = 0;
HWAVEOUT hwo;
DWORD dwVolume=0xffffffff;
DWORD oldVolume=0;
int waveDevice=-1;
UINT numberOfDevices=waveOutGetNumDevs();
for(UINT id=0;id<numberOfDevices;id++)
{
if (waveOutOpen(&hwo,id,&wf,0,0,CALLBACK_NULL)==MMSYSERR_NOERROR)
{
waveDevice=id;
waveOutGetVolume(hwo,&oldVolume);
waveOutSetVolume(hwo,dwVolume);
waveOutClose(hwo);
break;
}
}
.........playing sound here all ok....
//put the volume back
if(waveDevice!=-1)
{
if (waveOutOpen(&hwo, waveDevice, &wf, 0, 0, CALLBACK_NULL) == MMSYSERR_NOERROR)
{
waveOutSetVolume(hwo, oldVolume);
waveOutClose(hwo);
}
}
reg->saveDWORDtoRegistry(name,path,oldReg);
I can set the volume to any value below the origional volume but any attempt to set a volume higher just dose nothing. There are no errors (checking left out here), just the same level. I did not seriously expect the registry part to work as I guess there is some event to trigger that change, but others seem to get results from waveOutSetVolume.

Well, I never tried changing volume by code, but I know TCPMP player does it well and it's open source so might be worth taking a look at.

Thanks levenum, I will give it a look.

Before I got a chance to look at that code I got a result. I have been using PlaySound to play a resource with no volume change working. When I use waveOutWrite to play a buffer containing the same data I can get the volume change I am after. There is still something wrong with my code because the sound gets garbled but I think I will figure that part out. I also want to next test playsound with a file instead of a resource.
<edit>
using playsound with the same file plays clear sound but the volume change is not working. Its a pity because to get the waveoutwrite to work properly i had to fill in the WAVEFORMATEX with the CORRECT values. This means that if I am allowing the user to specify files to play I will have to find out the samples per second and bits per sample info before I can use the file.

A Call To Lock/Hardware Button Experts

Hello,
Im currently working on a custom control in managed code(vb.net) and have decided to implement it in a lock application as its initial demo. I have written code which catpures the base hardware keys available to windows mobile(1-6) this captures all of the hardware buttons on my wizard except for the Phone Buttons, Volume/Vibrate Button, and power button. im not particularly worried about trapping the power button because i like the tap to standby feature but im up the creek on the phone/volume buttons.
I found the hardware buttons 1-6 in the registry under (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys) but i cant seem to find the other keys anywhere including where this person says they are
http://www.mobipocket.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2367&sid=c3b2c704a729c2d6e5a47d0ee38ecb54
basically from my understanding of what he's saying the keys for these options(at least the phone ones) should have been listed under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\"
I had one key there 112 pointng to my calendar(so that i thought confirmed him) I added a key called 114 with a path to calendar as well. but the button still directs to phone/ so im not sure what's up.
Here's some logic from the hardware button capturing... Any insight into the location of these items would be greatly appreciated
Code:
Dim hk As HardwareKeys = HardwareKeys.ApplicationKey1
Dim i As Integer = 0
While i < 6
Try
Dim hwb As HardwareButton = New HardwareButton
hwb.AssociatedControl = Me
hwb.HardwareKey = hk + i
Catch ex As Exception
Me.Label1.Text &= ex.Message
End Try
i += 1
End While
Dim regkey As RegistryKey =
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys", True)
Me.Label1.Text = regkey.SubKeyCount
For Each skey As String In regkey.GetSubKeyNames
Me.Label1.Text &= skey.ToString & ","
Next
regkey.Close()
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can provide

Do you guys think this is a good start? At that location i have dword 197 val of 5. Im adding entries now for the othr buttons to see if i can catch

Here's What I have so far for Cingular 8125 HTC Wizard as the hardware buttons/software key maps which i get from a call onkeypress. I believe im going to have to go an unmanaged route for the phone buttons/Volume.
Code:
'not code just looks better this way
SoftKey Left = Key Code 112
SoftKey Right = Key Code 113
Email Button(top left corner) = Key Code 193 (Cf Hardware Button 1)
Web Button(top right corner) = Key Code 194 (Cf Hardware Button 2)
Camera Button(bottom right side) = Key Code 195 (Cf Hardware Button 3)
Voice Button(top right side) = Key Code 196(Cf Hardware Button 4)
Record(hold voice) = Key Code 197(not firing well) (Cf Hardware Button 5)
Comm Button = Key Code 198 (Cf Hardware Button 6)
All of those I can catch and react to but i cant seem to find any info for the phone and volume buttons/ Is there a specific api call I can make thats related to button press or catching? Possibly a way of forcing an association to an app only while its running?
Thanks in advance for any help. Ill post the full app here if i can get over this hump

##634# Codes etc

Ok just saw this as part of the know your MAC address thread but wanted to pursue this just in case we find something new
##634# takes the phone into Diagnostic mode
*#1234# lists PDA: Phone and CSC version (like in Android?)
Does this mean Odin could flash it?
when in Diag mode:
*#1111# Testing Mode Software - potential for other commands
keep entering numbers until you see a - minus number then keep presing back until only the minus sign left, you will then see a new menu
Go into Debug, then option 8 Phone Control, then option 6 Network Lock and report findings please.

No don't shutup, creating this thread was a good idea.
Apparently in this menu there is a way to get tethering to work!

funny thing is, once you've set this my PC recognises it as an Android ADB Interface!!! Windows and Drivers, don't you just love 'em

Hope this helps someone.
I was hoping to find a way in these options to turn off the damn screen blanking when a call is made! My phone does not want to recover from the blank screen even when placed on a flat surface during the call.
EDIT: Have just noticed that you can enter numbers after the [6] Network Lock screen displays 6. First few I have tried returns to "Menu not exist press back key - Current command is 1827364" screen

Keep tapping 6.... untill there is a - sign.... i got caught out with that too... i'll upload a video quicly on pootube...

Accelerometer
Just ****ed up my accelerometer in the *#0*# menu, and now the screen doesn't rotate at all anymore.
There's a "Cal" button that I used, presumably to be able to configure the correct rotation of the phone, but I don't understand how to use the "True" or "False" returns that come up...
How do I use these controls?
Can I reset it? How?

Crap record, Will find a better device to record it on in the morning, but shows the basic jist of how to get into the menu past the bit your on about.

guys... any news here?

I'll get mine early next week, and try this out as soon as I do... Has anyone tried the "Antenna / ADC" Menu? It's not all that likely, but ADC could stand for "Automatic Data Configuration" (the system used to set the MMS settings) rather than "Analog to Digital Converter" there...

Hi all, thanks for this info. Does anyone know if it is possible to calibrate the touchscreen of the Samsung Omnia 7? I noticed that the calibration is a little bit off. I can see that when I do the multi-touch test or when I use the app called "fingerpaint". I saw the "LCD Test" which has an item "Touch" but it is only a test, not a 'cal' (calibration), like some of the other menu's have.
When I touch the screen on the left side, the responsive area is a little on the left of my finger. It is not much, but I might consider returning the device if I cannot fix this myself. The device is only one day old, and I like it very much. If I would return it they will probably be able to recalibrate it, but I'm afraid that it may take a few weeks before I get it back. And I really don't like missing it already.
Thanks!

turn off 3G
Hi
There is a possibility to turn off 3G. You have to go into "Debug Screem" like gnasher666 has written. Then you choose Phone Control and then Network Control. There you choose Band Selection, where you can choose which network you want.
Bye,

**ALL** diagnostic codes for SAMSUNG devices
I reverse engineered the Diagnostic Menu Application. It contains a list of configuration "Titles" with corresponding hash-codes. I made a tool to reverse the hash-codes to dial-codes. The dial-codes may not be the same as some codes that were already known, but the dial-codes are absolutely correct for these menu. Differences are due to hash-collisions (same hash-code may have multiple possible dial-codes). I just used the shortest dial-codes for every menu.
The list of menu's is very long and I discovered that not all menu-codes were not actually implemented. I guess this list of codes is used for all Samsung devices (possibly also for Galaxy S and older Windows Mobile devices). So not all dial-codes may actually work on your device.
WARNING!! The menu's can configure low-level settings of your phone. And if you don't know what you're doing you may brick your device or maybe hard-reset the device and loose all your data and settings. Or you may faulty calibrate your sensors. Be very, very careful with experimenting!! I will not take any responsibility for damaging your device in any way.
I would personally be very interested if anyone finds a way to get the device in download-mode by using these menu's (I have a bad bootloader which does not let my Samsung Omnia 7 go into download-mode to flash it to a newer firmware).
This is the list with menu-titles, dial-codes and their hashcode:

Just ****ed up my accelerometer in the *#0*# menu, and now the screen doesn't rotate at all anymore.
There's a "Cal" button that I used, presumably to be able to configure the correct rotation of the phone, but I don't understand how to use the "True" or "False" returns that come up...
How do I use these controls?
Can I reset it? How?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go back to the setting, put the phone on a flat surface like a table and then press CAL.
Cal = Calibrate. It basically sets the accelerometer position when the phone is in default position.

*#0*# compass not working?
*#0*# -> compass .... but compass values are not well updated and does not reflect the real north?
Any hints ?

Uh, maybe a stupid question, but once I entered the diagnosis menu dialing the ##634#, I now have a Diagnosis application in the application list which takes me there as well. My question is that is it safe to 'uninstall' it? I mean will it just make the icon in the list go away or is there a chance it could actually uninstall the entire diagnosis program..?

Here is how to increase yr volume in OMNIA 7
==============================
Increase Speaker Volume
Enter the phone dialer
##634#, tap Call.
Enter code: *#0002*28346# or *#0002*28345#
Tap: Get, under the Device Gain (max/min)
First Box: 7
Second Box: change to 16000
Third Box set to 0
Tap: Set
Be sure that audience.cfg is set to on
Tap: Start
Tap: Home
Restart your phone.
After reboot, enter the same menu and just tab get to verify the settings
Increase Headphone Volume
Note: Make sure your headphones are plugged in first
Enter the phone dialer
##634#, tap Call
Enter code: *#0002*28346# or *#0002*28345#
Tap: Get under the Device Gain (max/min)
For "device gain" leave number 5, set 1100 (max) and -1100 (low)
Tap: Set
Verify that AUDIENCE.CFG is ON
Tap: Start
Tap Home
Restart your phone.
After reboot, enter the same menu and just tab get to verify the settings
Enjoy

Floating Summary: this post and next few ones (manually curated by Jamieross)
1. Pressing and holding the menu key brings up google search... it also it toggles the keyboard in the browser, even when a text input box isn't selected... (Jade Eyed Wolf)
2. Certain widgets from Samsung are resizable: Bookmarks, Weather, and S-memo. These are again only seen in galaxy note i guess.. Link2Post (galaxytab1)
Hold the widget until it gets big and the desktop gets small, indicating it's able to be moved. Then let go and it'll drop back down and the resizing lines will appear. Touch and hold the grey triangle on the lower right corner, and drag to resize the widget. (maxh)
3. The new browser in 2.3.6 upgrade has this new brightness option in the settings tab. (galaxytab1)
4. There is the ability to tag your music for easier searching. (galaxytab1)
5. You can also do live recording using the built in FM Radio. (galaxytab1)
6. Long pressing on the status bar then sliding your finger left and right adjusts the screen brightness but only when NOT using auto-brightness. (djowett)
7. Three ways to take a screen shot:
I: Using the S-Pen hold in the button then press on the screen until the shot is taken.
II: Like you were doing a hand shake, swipe the bottom of your palm across the screen either left to right or right to left.
III: Press The home button and power button together. (dr.ketan)
8. There is a toggle for the noise reduction during calls. Press menu AFTER call is connected to invoke the option. (Galaxytab1)
9. When you open your contacts list if you swipe your finger over their name to the right it calls them and when you swipe left it opens up an SMS to them. (Braxos)
10. The contacts can be made to search not only with the first letter but second also. Try touching the letters 'A,B,C...'on the right edge of the contacts list and then swipe away towards left, you will see the second letters appearing by which to look up contacts. (Galaxytab1)
11. Pressing the home button wakes the screen up from sleep. (ItsMathematics)
12. The built-in alarm app will ring out the headphones, when plugged in. (eksasol)
13. Pressing the button on the S-Pen and then double tapping on any screen at any point will bring up the S-Memo app. (zs6wdl)/(BaconDanny)
14. Track and remote control various options using 'Find My Mobile' activate in Settings/Location and Security. See this post for a more detailed description http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410757 Very handy if you loose your phone. (dr.ketan)
15. Pinch to zoom also works in the camera app. (hagba)
16. You can control the FM radio using the packaged earphones. Long pressing the call button starts and stops the player and single presses moves you to the next station. (Strategist )
17. Touch and twist with one finger to rotate photos in gallery, don't use the top of your finger, more like if you were pressing in a fingerprint and then twist 90 degrees. (Darius)
18. Pause your music using the palm of your hand. When playing music and the screen is active place your palm of your hand over the entire screen to pause it until you remove your hand. (Darius)
19. In camera settings choose "edit shortcuts" and you can drag the ones you want onto the left for quick access. Also works for video mode shortcuts as well, useful for quick resolution change. (Darius)
20. Use three fingers to scroll completely up or down entire pages. (masiegel)
21. Long pressing the home button will bring up the last 6 programs used and a short-cut to the task manager. (hagba)
22. To make the keyboard disappear quickly, swipe downward on the keyboard. (imajin)
23. Don't use voice commands? Don't want it to pop up when double clicking home button? It can be easily disabled in apps/Voice Talk/Menu. (Galaxytab1)
24. To mute your ring or alarm just gently turn over the phone so the its face down on a flat surface. (mcatt66)
25. Long pressing the back button in the browser brings up the history list. (katyarevishal)
26. In settings-accessibility at the bottom is a sub menu called answering/end calls, there you can toggle the use of the power button to end the call. I like this one as there is always a small delay in the seen coming on to highlight the end call button.
There's also a toggle for answering a call using the home button and an automatic answer option using the stereo headset. (jamieross)
Pictures supplied by galaxytab1 Link2Post
27. S-memo syncs with Google Docs, just go to S-Memo/Menu/Sync. (Galaxytab1)
28. Tips on S-memo sync with Google Docs:
I. Search option in Docs searches the whole of your document and not just the title. So, of you type something in the notes, it is searchable.
II. Title can be entered at the top, however, any text that you enter on the notes becomes the title.
III. S-Memo also has a tag system (Edit Tag) which neatly arranges your memos together, go to S-Memo/Menu/Sort by tag. (Galaxytab1)
IV. If you are syncing with google docs, deleting a memo doesn't delete the memo on google cloud. So any memo you deleted will be back next time you sync unless you login in at docs and delete the memo.
29. In the stock browser if u pinch to zoom out while fully zoomed out it brings up the new and choose window feature. (jamieross)
30. Upon pressing the status bar for a few seconds,when its pulled right till the bottom of the screen,it disappears immediately,without the need it to pull it up or going back. (NoRmAlY_CrAzY)
31. In S Planner, pinch to zoom will take you to year/month/week/day/now views quickly. Pretty slick. (Croak)
32. While playing a video touch the screen and slide up or down to control the volume. And slide left or right to control the elapsed time. (hagba)
33. I. When opening the calculator you got the standard use of it switching to landscape mode your phone then the calculator switches to a more scientific mode. Not a fully scientific but it gets some good things. (Braxos)
II. Just to add if u slide down the arrow u get all your past calculations.... (jamieross)
34. You can fast forward and rewind while watching videos in the stock galaxy note app. (Chillz88)
35. The photo editor provided by Samsung has this one nifty feature:
Crop a photo and paste into another/The cropped image colour scheme will adjust to the new background. Link2Post (galaxytab1)
36. 3rd party launchers don't support widgets from s-memo, s-planner etc (galaxytab1)
37. Here is one more use of the pen:
Install Handwriting Recognition Calculator from Samsung Apps (not in Market). It works most of the time and even if recognition is not good, there is an edit option to reenter the figures. Kinda cool with the pen! Link2Post (galaxytab1)

Tips and tricks that help better use of your Note
1. To read at night, display brightness can be dimmed using the app 'screen filter' at http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.haxor . (Galaxytab1)
2. ezPdf has this 'freehand' annotation, pen can write on the pdf file and saved there itself, visible on any platform as comments within the pdf.
https://market.android.com/details?id=udk.android.reader&hl=en (Galaxytab1)
3. Use this app to get to camcorder directly, bypassing camera.
http://market.android.com/search?q=p...wens.Camcorder (Galaxytab1)
4. You can connect any mouse and keyboard plus any samsung printer to galaxy note just using on-the-go cable. (bdodge1989)
5. It is not something exclusive to galaxy note, butI discovered these Swype keypad shortcuts on my note: (galaxytab1)
I. Swype key to '123' key swipe: edit options
II. Swype key to 'a'key swipe: select all
III. Swype key to 'x', 'c', 'v'key swipe: cut, copy, paste respectively.
IV. Swype key to 'r' or 't' or 'y' key swipe: numeric keyboard. (este548)
6. One of the best features I like on the GNote is the Clipboard,I havn't noticed this in any other Android device.
one can select the text in almost any application and it will be copied to the Clipboard,I have downloaded an App called AndClip from the Market(free),with it I can View,copy,Delete etc. all the texts which are copied to the Clipboard.
Very usefull feature. (hagba)
7. The notification bar is tough to draw on such a large screen with single hand use, which is why I am using this app:
https://market.android.com/details?i...tusbarexpander Place it on swipepad or other launchers or home screen. (galaxytab1)
8. In the Note, you can set your physical buttons to both answer and end calls.
Go to settings-> accessibility-> Call answering and ending and enable these options
9. In S Planner, letting go after a held tap on a date box in Month view, or [the small space under the date]* in Week/3Days/Days view, will bring out S Memo Lite and what you scribble will be saved to the day where you entered it.
10. Just like in contacts, while in messaging, the swiping to the left to send a text (why?) and swiping to the right to call are still functional.

I have seen this clipboard only on galaxy note so far, no other Android device. I guess it is a Samsung addition

Pressing and holding the menu key brings up google search
Also it toggles the keyboard in the browser, even when a text input box isn't selected ^_^

I tried a thread back in nov but some members started saying just read the manual. A thread like this should exist

Certain widgets from Samsung are resizable:
1. Bookmarks
2. Weather
3. s-memo
These are again only seen in galaxy note i guess

The new browser in 2.3.6 upgrade has this new brightness option:

Does music player tags in other Android devices? It does so well in galaxy note here.
Also, the radio has a record button (didn't test)

To read at night, display brightness can be dimmed using the app 'screen filter' at http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.haxor

Long pressing on the status bar till it pops up then disappears changes the status bar into a brightness slider when not on auto brightness.

Just few months back, it was required to root your Android to take a screenshot, which is to say, google didn't actually allow it. And now...

Outside of forums, i guess this doesn't find mention anywhere.

There is a toggle for the noise reduction during calls. Press menu after call is connected to invoke the option. Check screenshot.

V1 Initial version
There is little risk with this mod, but please understand what you are doing, and make backup of the original apk file ( in case you want to revert back ). The installer script does make a backup, but will overwrite the backup if installed more than once.
I also added a simpler "launcher_simple.sh" into the zip, which only changes the functionality of the Source (rotates radio, pandora, spotify ) and Call buttons ( google voice command ). These scripts are working examples of what can be done. If you want the simpler version, just rename "launcher_simple.sh" to "launcher.sh" before installing.
---------------------- Original Post -----------------
I have spent quite a bit of time working on being able to customize the steering wheel keys of my Joying 2GB headunit (JY-UL135N2 / 2GB / Sofia unit). I have made some good progress and thought I would share what I have done so far.
The system package /system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk has been modified to intercept the keys sent by the MCU, and thus able to change the behavior of the key presses. The keys listed below are supported, and will launch a "shell" process, so any action that can be done by the command line can be performed. If your not familiar with the Android command line, you might be surprised how powerful it is. As a side note, this works very fast and efficient. From my testing the overhead of the system call and shell script is almost non-existent, and key presses are registered with no delay. In other words, it is working very nicely.
In addition to the steering wheel button mods, also provided is the ability to launch a command or series of commands when a RESUME is received.
Included is my shell script (example) that can be used as a model for your own customization. The example script included performs the following actions:
CALL/BT PHONE(27) - One press is HOME, 2 presses is BACK, 3 presses brings up Google Voice Commands
MODE/SRC(37) - Rotates through music apps: Radio, Pandora, Spotify, Stock Music App - If it has been longer than 1 minute since the last press it will return you to the last selected music app with first press, then continue with the rotation. ( I'm working on a more intelligent way of doing this, that looks at the process list and will post soon)
NAVI(9) - One press is Torque, 2 presses is google maps
PAUSE/PLAY(85*),NEXT(87*), PREVIOUS(88*), FASTBACK(89*), FASTFWD(90*),HOME(3), BACK(4) - Currently set to perform stock functions. They ARE passed to script so they can be assigned other functions if wanted.
ACC_ON(97) - Executes at ignition switch on. Sample script has a 'play' here to restart music player that was paused at key off.
ACC_OFF(98) - Executes at ignition switch off. I suggest you assign "pause" on this case, to stop current music player. Resolves issue of music player advancing for several minutes after key is turned off.
RESUME(99) - Executes on system resume.
Please note the media control keys marked with a (*) are hardcoded to specific functions within the stock Joying applications. They are only passed through to the shell script when you are NOT using a Joying media application. They will ONLY work as the original keys when you are within the Joying media applications.
Remember, the apk is just handing codes to you, what you do with them after that is up to you! I have tried to comment the example script enough to be understandable to someone with basic programming knowledge.
Attached is a zip file with the updated Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk, launcher.sh ( my example script), and install script. The launcher.sh script must be placed in the /data directory ( /data/launcher.sh ), as it is hardcoded in the apk file.
The install script is a shell/linux script, but you can easily copy/paste the adb commands if your using windows.
[NOTE: Please update to the latest version of busybox! I found some bugs in the version included by Joying that caused several issues.]

Awesome work. I will mess with this sometime this week. I still need to root my unit. Just installed it last week.

Excellent work, sir! Before I start modifying the script for personal taste, could you help how to find key number for DVD and Eject buttons that currently have no function as the DVD drive is non-existent? Maybe logcat or something?

I see a few references in the code for the DVD/eject button in the common code. My 'best guess' would be to add a system call to the cases listed below, but I seriously doubt the MCU would even send the codes if there is no DVD present.
bsp/FinalBsp.java
public static final int KEY_CODE_DVD = 242;
public static final int KEY_CODE_EJECT = 231;
bsp/HandlerBspKey.java
public static void keyEvent(int paramInt1, int paramInt2)
case 242:
bspKeyDvd(paramInt2);
return;
case 231:
bspKeyEject(paramInt2);
return;

Seems that MCU does send the codes as seen here.
I will see what I can do but I doubt I am able to do anything as I just installed apktool the first time today and am new with apk's. Thanks for your efforts! Very appreciated.

If I create and send you a apk file with additional debug statements, would you be able to install it, and capture the 'logcat' of the buttons being pressed? It makes it much more difficult since I don't have the DVD buttons. Hacking smali code is a LOT of trial and errors. Their code is quite complex, and doesn't decompile into Java very nicely in some critical areas.

I put in debugging code that parses the data stream from the MCU and dumps the first 4 bytes of EVERY message that is received from the MCU (skipping checksum info). Simply replace the original file (make a copy first ) and reboot. When looking for the keys, I suggest you do not use the radio, as it sends a constant flood of messages, such as RDS updates.
Even when the radio is off, there are still messages constantly being sent. If you filter on the debug messages MCUKEY in adb, and press the button in question a few times quickly, you should see a consistent pattern. I was able to identify the 'HANG' key in a couple minutes using this method. You should see something like this in the logcat:
D/MCUKEY ( 693): MCUKEYINPUT: B1=1 B2=0 B2=5 B2=224
D/MCUKEY ( 693): MCUKEYINPUT: B1=1 B2=7 B2=16 B2=0
D/MCUKEY ( 693): MCUKEYINPUT: B1=1 B2=0 B2=0 B2=49
D/MCUKEY ( 693): MCUKEYINPUT: B1=1 B2=7 B2=16 B2=0
D/MCUKEY ( 693): MCUKEYINPUT: B1=1 B2=3 B2=34 B2=0
In this case the HANG key is in bold ( 1, 7, 16, 0 ) messages. IF the DVD and eject keys are sent, they should definitely show up here. Not every key is sent by the MCU, if it is not relevant to the current state of the system. For example the media buttons are not sent when the radio is on, since the MCU is in control of the radio, however it does send the results such as a frequency change resulting from the button press.
It is possible that the MCU knows there is no DVD present and suppresses the messages. From looking at the code, it may be the action of a disc being ejected that is sent from the MCU, with the eject button press handled internally by the MCU. Your more likely to find the press of the DVD button than the eject button, but may find both.
When your done searching, you want to put back the original file and reboot. If you find the codes, I can certainly add them to trigger the shell script and you can take whatever action you want with them.

Thank you! I will try this the first thing next week when I get back home from a weekend trip.

Question: if I remove a customization from the script file for a key, the key should then perform its default functions, correct?

The keys being passed to the shell script (launcher.sh) is hard-coded in the APK file and is just sent to the script. If you remove it from the script, the key would no longer do anything.
If you want to keep the stock functionality of a specific button, it should be fairly easy to duplicate it in the shell script. For example:
BT/CALL button: "am start com.syu.bt/com.syu.bt.BtAct"
NAVI: By default, I think NAVI just toggles between a Navi app, and the previous activity on the stack.
The code below should behave the same as the original for both the NAVI an BTPHONE buttons ( assuming your using google maps )
Code:
case $key in
9) # NAVI
x=`dumpsys activity activities | grep "Run #" | cut -f 13 -d" "| head -1 | grep maps`
if [ "$x" = "" ]
then
$maps
else
am start `dumpsys activity activities | grep "Run #" | cut -f 13 -d" " | grep -v launcher | grep -v systemui | grep -v maps |head -1`
fi
;;
27) # BTPHONE/PTT
am start com.syu.bt/com.syu.bt.BtAct
;;
Play/Pause: you can just remove the 85 case, it would just hit the default case and pass "input keyevent 85" which is identical in functionality.

Last thing: I want to have viper4android launch on resume (in the background ideally). where can I find the "app identifier" to put in the shell script?

I made a slight change to the 'CODE' section of my previous post, so if you copy it make sure you get the edited version. I tested it and made a couple of changes.
There are several ways to get the package name and activity.
What I typically do is start the application on the unit and do the following in adb:
> adb shell
> dumpsys activity activities | grep "Run #"
This shows you a list of the activities ( package/activity ) in the task list with most recent at the top.
You should be able to pick it out pretty easily. If it is the app that I found with google, this should work to start it.
> am start com.vipercn.viper4android_v2/.activity.ViPER4Android
In most cases, you can just give the package name when using 'am start' with no need for the activity. It will default to the 'LAUNCHER' activity in the package. I usually always give the activity, just to be safe. I would sleep for a couple seconds to give it time to initialize and then $home to take you back to the Home screen. So whole command would look like this. It is easy to test using adb.
am start com.vipercn.viper4android_v2/.activity.ViPER4Android ; sleep 2 ; $home

Thanks for this, it's working great on my Joying (JY-UL135N2 ).
My only issue is that the CALL/BT PHONE (27) button is assigned to my "Pick Up/Call Out" button on my steering wheel. So I can't use it to pick up calls. I actually have another dedicated button on my steering to activate voice commands, so I'd rather assign the CALL/BT PHONE function to that. Do you happen to know how to find out what numbers corresponds to each button press?

I make and receive so few voice calls, It wasn't worth having a steering wheel button dedicated for the dialer/call pickup . I just tap the screen to answer and use google voice to make calls.
If you want to have a button answer a call, there *should* be a way to do it given the right command. I will play around with it more. Worse case I can just back out the changes for the (27) , and send you an updated apk.

I used the joying steering wheel control app and switched the dialer/call pickup to my voice button and that works, but my dialer/call pickup doesn't do anything. Please let me know if you want me to test anything. Thank you.

Luckily the eject key was also found! Here are the codes:
DVD:
D/MCUKEY ( 691): MCUKEYINPUT: B1=1 B2=0 B2=16 B2=80
EJECT:
D/MCUKEY ( 691): MCUKEYINPUT: B1=1 B2=161 B2=2 B2=91
Looking forward to the modified apk. If you happen to take donations I'd be willing to give you a beer. Thank you.

Here is an updated apk file that should catch the code you listed. In the zip there is a file "keys.txt" and also updated APK file. The keys.txt is a complete list button codes for both the soft-keys ( steering wheel ) and hard-keys (on unit ) that the new apk sends to the script. This is a beta of V2.0 which I added:
3 - HOME ( On unit hard key )
4 - BACK ( On unit hard key )
28 - HANG/CALL END ( Steering wheel softkey)
31 - DVD ( On unit hard key )
32 - EJECT ( On unit hard key )
The HOME/BACK keys are sending the keycodes for the home/back actions. You don't need to map them in a script, as long as you have a default that passes keycodes at the end of the script.
*) input keyevent $key
;;
I have used it the last couple of days and it is working fine for me, but can't test the dvd or eject.
Let me know if it registers the keys.

sorry for the dumb question but do you need to root the unit to use this?

Is there a way to run a shell script when I switch ignition off and illumination on or off?
