Hi there!
Is there a ButtonRemapper that will will function with the Xperia Arc? I wish I could remap those Hardwarebutton since I keep hitting the home-button when putting the phone in my pockets = unnecessary battery usage!
Or will maybe the port of CM7 to Arc solve this?
Thanks in Advance!
This is what I did on my x10 to do the same thing..
You need root explorer.
goto /system/usr/keylayout
open "pm8058-keypad.kl" in text editor
remove the wake_dropped comment from the end of the "home" line.
reboot... done.
[EDIT - Just tried this on my Arc and it works on here too!]
Is there any way to change the long hold of the menu key to function as the search button?
worked like a charm!! Many thanks for the hint!

reading that, i remapped my G button to ENDCALL. i was wondering, the faves soft button on the bottom of the screen, what number button is that and can that be edited to map to something else? like say browser or gmail or sms, etc.
I would like to know too if there's a way to change that soft button without having to root the phone. I absolutely hate that damn soft button, it's wasting one off my app spots

you mean on the dock? LP lets you change your dock around and you dont need to be rooted for that.

what is LP?
and no we are talking about the faves button on the bottom of the screen on the right next to the applications menu soft key.
[PHONE][APPLICATIONS][FAV]
^^^If that helps
i know some buttons have numbers assigned to them (like button 183, 204, etc) but no idea what button or where the file to edit for above mentioned key would be located. im thinking it may be in the sense theme itself since other themes have different buttons?
Sorry. LP = Launcher Pro, which you can get from the market. And yes it lets you change that.

It is not edited the same way. It is much more complicated. But you can go over to my thread and download the mod to change your "Faves" button on the MySense launcher. You must be rooted though.

You have been a member of XDA for quite sometime surely you are capable of using the search button rather than create a brand new thread?

lol thxxxx for the tip, wasn t searchnig the right words (hard to be french)
after reading the topic, don t see anybody talking about long press on back button = kill current app, #confused
Another mod which works but your phone needs to be rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200369
i ve seen this one already but same it seems that long press = menu action not killapp
Surely double tapping on the home button is quite intuitive though? I think the mod you are after would mess up the long press back for menu (sorry I misread your first post).
dbl tap on hop open recents app (so far on mine) and longpress does nothing, here the trick is to create the menu app that is gone, not the killer task button. no rpob, we read all too many lines per day

This mod is very useful and I use it very much on my current One X. It is from one xda ROM for one X. I hope someone can make a MOD for ONE.
Hello,
Holding down the volume up brings up quickmemo. Unfortunately I use Google Keep and was wondering if the keymapping for volume up could be changed to launch Google Keep.

Seems like there is no way right now. I'm hoping future ROM developers do implement this.

I was able to remap the buttons (short press and long press) with the Xposed module called : Xposed Additions. It even lets you remap what they do while in sleep, and do something different when awake.
Install Root Explorer (only one I advise for this).
Root.
Go into \system\usr\keylayout
Edit generic.kl and gpio-keys.kl (I recommend taking backups first).
Find key 115 and 114 in both files.
Remap as you wish. I have mine set to Menu and Home.
Save and reboot.

I tried it and mapped next/previous track to up and down volume buttons. Also mapped power button to pause and play when double tapping

Not without framework mods, AFAIK, but I hate softkeys. Use AutoHideSoftKeys and get the best of both worlds.

Very cool, but for a noob on this, any more direction? Want to change the up button to something else besides memo.

I highly recommend using xposed additions above. It is fantastic. My method it's quite universal though. You can remap any hardware key to any other although be weary of remapping your power key and losing the ability to switch on! Look through the generic doc I listed and you can see pretty much any key to remap to. 114 and 115 are the hardware keys for volume up and down. You can change them to camera, home, back or whatever.

@Friguy, I don't want to hijack the thread, but if you're worried about messing anything up, get yourself clockwork mod or twpm installed so that you can make a full backup and restore. It gives you so much freedom!
Download xposed, find the apk and install it.
Find xposed in your apps and run that. Install the framework, and then goto downloads, find the module you want and download it. Go to modules and put a tick next to the module to enable it, and then reboot your phone to enable everything.
After that, find xposed additions in your apps and run that to configure it. My way is easier but additions gives you more flexibility.

Any way to remap the power button only when the device is on? i.e. only allow it to turn the device on, but not off.
No, you need the ability turn the phone off. if You get caught stuck our locked up you need the button combination get your phone to shut down

Posted this in the T-Mo GS4 section but I've gotten no replies so I'll ask here
Basically what's happening here is that I want to use on screen nav keys. OK cool. Enabled them through Gravitybox I shut off the capacitive LEDs and was able to disable to menu and back buttons all together by editing the generic.kl file in /system/usr/ file.
Now, I'm trying to change the home buttons function to menu instead of home but it isn't working. I reboot and the button is still functioning as home.
I edited key 103 and 172 and replace MOVE_HOME with MENU WAKE_DROPPED. It isn't working.
Anyone got any ideas on what to do?

NEVERMIND! I figured it out.
If anyone is interested in remapping their hardware buttons, the file to edit is the gpio-keys.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ folder.

Unfortunately I'm a stock Google kind of guy so Wanam wouldn't work and gravity box has no settings to change hardware butting single press functions.
It's OK though. Editing the file I posted above works well enough.
