IS it possible to keymap the END key so every time it is pressed
it not only ends the call but plays a WAV file
IE : "Shut It" from the sweeney......
from what i've been able to understand the non of the phone keys can be remap'd

Inspired by the thread about changing the Pocket IE (or T-mobile) button, is it possible to remap that button to CTRL+C and the FN+PocketIE button to CTRL+V? Do these keyboard shortcuts even exist in CE.NET 5/WM5? At the very least I need them for remote desktop so if anyone knows how one might acheive this, I'd love them in a manly way
how hard is it to 'hack' WM5?
there would seem to be enough "spare" buttons on the Exec that one could be used as Ctrl...
the blue Fn button, doesn't have any key-combination bindings with X, C or V - so cut, copy and paste (keyboard shortcuts I miss the most, too!) could be done with Fn-X, Fn-C etc.
does anyone know how easy it would be to do this?
I agree that the missing [Ctrl]-key is a right pain. Sadly, I can't offer a solution, but experimenting with key combinations has shown up some oddities!
Holding [shift]+[Fn] followed by a key on the bottom row first puts a character into the current application before actioning the special function of that key.
For example, open Word, then press:
[shift]+[Fn]+[envelope] inserts character: "z"
[shift]+[Fn]+[windows] inserts character: "x"
[shift]+[Fn]+[PIE] inserts character: "c"
[shift]+[Fn]+[space] inserts character: "v"
[shift]+[Fn]+[symbol] inserts character: "b"
[shift]+[Fn]+[left arrow] inserts character: "n"
[shift]+[Fn]+[down arrow] inserts character: "?"
[shift]+[Fn]+[right arrow] doesn't do anything
Pressing:
[shift]+[Fn]+[c] unfortunately launches [PIE]
However, pressing:
[shift]+[Fn]+[v] first inserts the character "v", but then opens the (tap-&-hold) shortcut menu with "Paste" highlighted. If you have some text in the clipboard then it will automatically paste that text into the application. Just a pain that it inserts the "v" first.
Above all based on the O2 XDA Exec.
I've tried to get [ctrl] working with Aekmap but had no luck.
It's a shame because it's not just copy and paste that needs a ctrl key. I use pocket PuTTY a lot to administer *nix machines and [ctrl]+c is kind of vital.
You just hold Fn and press Space to get the edit menu.
That's why the symbol on it is the same as the seldom-used edit key to the right of the Alt-Gr on a regular PC keyboard.
Or am I missing the point here?
I think you are missing it a little. I (and I'm sure others) use terminal services client quite a bit and not having a CTRL key is a real pain. In some circumstances, your suggestion works, but not universally.
Hello i loke for a pause key on the screen keypad ? pause key is a wait command
... you can use an "," (without quotes) for a pause within the phone-number...
yes, but how do you put on the Hermes phone keypad? I think it's not possible, it would be very useful to dial PBX numbers, so you can store everything on a contact...
I could be wrong, but I believe if when updating a Contacts phone number field, you can simply put a "p" (or multiple p's) to denote pauses.
I couldn't figure a way to input them from the dialer pad, either.
...yeah I'm sorry. I answered to quick. Indeed it's not possible, maybe someone else know to program such command. I also tried with keyboard but it just won't accept a ","...
I always use 2 commas
ex:
18002616430 ,,12345,,726226
this works for me. to call my home overseas, usually I stored phone card information this way in the contact, I simply use the unused field like fax or work.
ok it works with , / nice forum /
On my Cingular branded 8525:
'w' causes the dialer to wait for a press of the 'talk' button;
',' or 'p' pause. On my phone ',,' pauses about the same time as 'p'.
Hello, i have a little problem.

You can use the àü button (just above the "Sym" key on the hardware keyboard) for this and MANY other characters...
For example type a "-" and then press the àü key and it turns that "-" into the "_" that you wanted...
This also works for $, £, and loads more symbols ...you can even customise it (I set mine up so I have easy access to £ and €...)

thay AU key doesnt seem to do anything for me. do i need to set it up first?
No it should just work ~maybe probs if you've installed a keyboard? or manila ...but fresh out of the box it works automatically
Connect your phone in ActiveSync mode to your computer and open \Windows\sym.0409.txt
That shows you the list ...for each character it shows what pressing the àü key will change it to (you have to press àü immediately after pressing the original key)
You can move them around. Each line is representing one hardware key. Each time you press àü it jumps to the next character on the line in that text file.
Here is an extract of mine -

So when I type "a" and then press àü it changes to à ...press àü again and it changes to á ...
So to get the GBP symbol I just type @ and press àüand there you go... I have £
im usign the diamond keyboard. it doesnt do anythign for me when i press that button. dont have anything else installed. ill try to look up that file, thanks.
i tried opening it. it has everything you have and more. however, it doesnt work.
i'm using the X1ButtonMapper software and assigned the Tab+s key for underscore using the command SendKeys("_"). at the same time I assigned the $, %, and + keys to other buttons. it made sending e-mails and SMS a lot easier..
Hi folks,
I'm trying to remap the hardware buttons of my rooted Xperia Pro with stock ICS 4.0.4, but there are some quirks that trouble me.
Basically, I want to
1.) remap the language button on the QWERTZ hardware keyboard.
2.) Prevent the camera button from unlocking the phone - just press power to show the lock screen, then hold camera button, the press home key and you'll see how easy it is for the phone to unlock in your pocket.
So far, I parsed through the keyboard layout files in /system/usr
I remapped key 368 in pm8058-keypad.kl to CTRL_LEFT, which did not seem to make any difference! Language button still invokes language dialog
I also modified quertz.xml and qwerty-en.xml by replacing META_LANGUAGE with META_CTRL_LEFT - did not make any difference.
Of course, I rebooted the phone inbetween...
Regarding 2), I have no clue. Butting WAKE_DROPPED behind CAMERA and FOCUS in pm8058-keypad.kl does not help.
I could use some help with key remapping as well. If I find some info i'll send it your way.
No progress for me so far... anyone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I want to re-map the 0 (Zero) key and the OK button orientation on the PIN Lock feature. Any info what files I need to change?
I GOT IT!!! partially at least....
Reading through http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-character-map-files.html and http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html once again, I finally found something that pointed me into the right direction!
I order to make my change to the Language button work (remapping key 368 to CTRL_LEFT), there are two possible ways:
1.) Set hardware keyboard to FULL keyboard type by replacing "type ALPHA" with "type FULL" in /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm
This will make the hardware keyboard work without any additional GUI, so pressing shift will allow you to select text and copy&paste via ctrl+a,c,v,x now works (This still depends on the app you are using. Some do ignore this, some will still work with menu+a,c,v,x instead)
But beware:, in order to enter numbers or upper case letters, you now have to keep the modifier key pressed.
Printable characters can be edited via /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm, non-printables like modifier keys can be edited via /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl
Android keycode names can be found here: http://source.android.com/tech/input/keyboard-devices.html
Until now, I was unable to create a solution for entering special characters like ä,ö,ü
I tried to via sym or meta keyword in .kcm file while mapping the Sym key to SYMBOL or META_LEFT via the .kl file, but it didn't work...
2.) The .xml files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts are used only with the keyboard configured as "type ALPHA". In order to identify the correct .xml file, you have to parse through the files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/languages and look for the script keyword, which in conjunction with the declarations in /system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml will tell you to the layout xml file for your device localisation.
Now, in order to remap printable characters, you have to edit the correct layout xml file and for non-printable characters, you have to edit the scancodes.xml file in /system/usr/keyboard-config.
Unfortunately, shift-selecting text will not work with "type ALPHA" mode and it seems that editing scancodes.xml is not sufficient to remap language button to CTRL_LEFT, but the .kl file has to be changed, too.
OK guys ! after dozen experiments , perhaps someone will find it usefull....
If you use headsets, you can remap volume down and volume up buttons into next music track or previous music track when you edit keys like this :
key 114 MEDIA_PREVIOUS
key 115 MEDIA_NEXT
also....if you like to remap middle headset button you have to edit key 226 into whatever you want..
I remaped it into pause button like this ;
key 226 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
Now you have complete control over your favourite player.
Remember to do backup of original Generic.kl before !
that's it for now and more when I find out something handy.
