This feature is now available in FroyoBread. Thank doixanh.
i wonder if it can be remapped to the camera button instead. some of us still use the back button to navigate around while chatting on the phone (handsfree mode)
There is a thread allready for this!

No, use... we need a pro to do this...

I also think that this will be perfect
There must be some correlation between files shakira_keypad.kl and 7k_handset.kl
because the second one has lines
Code:
107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
116 POWER WAKE
and the first one
Code:
key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED
key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 215 FOCUS
key 212 CAMERA
key 107 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
and when you change key 107 into ENDCALL, power button also ends calls,there must be something to make back button to has multiple actions without loosing its original function...
Or to make back button like power button just during call

I tried editing those files, but in every case I loose back button function...

Yup. I know. I hope it's posiblle to make back key as "ENDCALL" just during phone calls...
Damn it! If we can have all other features thanks to our module man doixanh, we could have this too.
I think that this is way more important than multitouch, or screen on/off animation.
I use power button to end calls. It's enough for me
It's even better then wait till the display turns on to end a call...
When you say power button you mean the one that turns off the screen right?
I tryied this today but the screen turned off without ending the call...
I do not think it can be changed from phone's files. We need an apk programer. The solution must be in the phone.apk

Hi.
I really miss the search button from the Desire device. I have tried to remap the send (dial) button to search by altering the bravo-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout. But the change didn't work. My altered keypad file is posted below, maybe someone can tell me why it's not working?
SOLUTION: Edit the right file. In my build the default qwerty.kl file was used not the bravo-keypad.kl. Adding SEARCH to key 231 and 61 turns the send key into a search key Even voice search by long press works
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 231 SEARCH
key 61 SEARCH

just revert what you changed back to how it was.
then hold down the start button (Windows Logo) and the keyboard will pop up, once you start typing it will go into the search app.

This is exactly what I have done, remapped the physical send button (left most button on the HD2) to behave like a search button. HTC Desire does not have a send button either, and I don't miss it. I find it more usefully to have a search button then a send (call) button.

All files related to key mappings are located in /system/usr/keylayout . The qwerty.kl is the one that android is defaulting to if not specified otherwise. There may be some other kl files in the folder, but the vendor specific file is just "left overs" from the ROM rip (in some cases).

Mapping End Key
Has anyone mapped the end call button to work. On my Darkstone build I have to hit the end call on screen, hitting the red hard key just shuts the screen off (very annoying). I then have to wake up the phone and end the call.
I pulled both bravo_keypad and qwerty files but both seem to be set to the right end key.
Any ideas or help?

Could be that your build uses an other file then the qwerty.kl. Have you tried to edit the vendor specific file instead?

Now i just need help with chaning the volume buttons to the camera buttons.
I changed:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
To:
key 115 CAMERA WAKE
key 114 CAMERA WAKE
Upon press it starts the camera app, but will not take a photo. However when i switch to the camcorder function, that works just fine.
Ideas?
ps: i just use a widget to control my volume, which is very rare for me.
I had a few problems with my phone at the weekend and had to do a factory reset. Everything works fine but the hardware search button no longer brings up search. Any ideas how I map it back ?

What rom are you using? download google search off market
I got the app installed from Market already, its just not linked to the hard button.
What rom are you using?
Stock 2.2 on Vodafone UK but I've ditched the bloatware from them.
It could be linked to the bloat you have removed? Make sure that you have HTC Search in system/app and that you have the right link in system/usr/keylayout/keypad-legend.kl

keyboard file yet, htc search file no..... I was using titanium backup and 'integrate into rom' updated apps after kicking off the VF 360 rubbish. So it looks like while I have the app from market I don't have the original in the system folder. This is why the button doesn't work, not sure how I would rectify that though. Any tips ? and thanks for so far...
Hi there! On the web I saw sooo many different feebacks about the s3 mini that I got a little confused. However it seems that users have a common problem/issue/annoyance: the absence of softkey vibration.
Well there's a possible solution: I need someone to post the content of the file placed here: /system/usr/keylayout/golden-kp.kl
Nevermind, got it. Normally you should have something like this (I've pasted only the first part):
Code:
key 399 GRAVE
key 2 1
key 3 2
key 4 3
key 5 4
key 6 5
key 7 6
key 8 7
key 9 8
key 10 9
key 11 0
[B]key 158 BACK [/B]
key 230 SOFT_RIGHT WAKE
key 60 SOFT_RIGHT WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL
key 62 ENDCALL
key 229 MENU
key 59 MENU
[B]key 139 MENU [/B]
key 127 SEARCH
key 228 POUND
key 227 STAR
key 231 CALL
key 61 CALL
key 232 DPAD_CENTER
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 211 FOCUS
key 212 CAMERA
Now you should edit the two lines I've bolded to this:
Code:
[B]key 158 BACK VIRTUAL[/B]
[B]key 139 MENU VIRTUAL[/B]
Now push back to your device (or just save if you're editing from your phone) and reboot,there's a good chance it will work I recommend editing this file with something like Notepad++ on your PC -- REMEMBER TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE SPACING BETWEEN BACK/MENU AND VIRTUAL. If you're not sure/you're editing from your mobile, copy the spaces between other lines such as HOME - WAKE or POWER - WAKE
Waiting for your (haptic I hope) feedbacks
Tried to edit both on phone and computer, and pushed back with the right permissions. Rebooted.
Didn't work
Anyone else?

It's a kernel feature ^^
It's been a few months. Anyone get the haptic feedback working fully?
I only got the I8190N a couple of days ago.
Apart from the soft keys (menu/back) not having haptic feedback, it's also not working on the phone dialling keypad or the text messaging keyboard.
I have found haptic feedback is only existent on options where a long key press is required. Such as pressing and holding the home key to bring up a list of recent apps, holding the menu soft key to bring up Search, pressing and holding the home screen to add a widget, pressing & holding the back button on the keyboard to clear all text at once, etc...
Really would be great to have haptic feedback working fully on the soft keys, dialling keypad & the keyboard, as it does on the Galaxy S, SII, SIII, S4.
Note: Yes, power saving is off.
Anyone ?
If someone still want softkeys vibration, just try flash my fix. I don't have S3 mini, so i cannot confirm. Should working on any 4.1+ Rom.

There are actually a couple different ways to do it...
You can used Xposed mod, with either Xposed Additions or MenuBeGone
(I've never used either of these methods...)
or, the way that I do it, manually edit the \system\usr\keylayout\Generic.kl file.
When I do it, I make the following two changes:
Change key 139 from MENU to BACK
Change key 158 from BACK to APP_SWITCH
Then I use button savior to add the menu for those things that need it...
(I'm coming from Nexus devices, so having the keys with back on the left, and app switch on the right is how I'm used to it...)
Ever wondered to use Google search ? Just saying.

Quick and easy answer:
Change key 139 from MENU to APP_SWITCH
I have seen a bunch of posts regarding the capacitive buttons and on screen navigation buttons. Love them or hate them, this is how you can turn them off.
I will leave that up to you on how to get onscreen Navy buttons.
As for turning off the capacitive buttons this is how I did it.
1.To eneble onscreen buttons follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...mi-1s-t2950455
2. Download a root file explorer. Root Browser Lite --> http://goo.gl/b9ISW This is what I will use.
3.Load up Root Browser and navigate to system>usr>keylayout. We will be looking for a file called "atmel_mxt_ts.kl".
4. Select it and hit "Open as..." then "Text file" then "RB Text Editor"
5. Now we see this:
key 139 MENU
key 102 HOME
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
All you have to do is option out the keys you don't want to work with a #. So if you are like me and think the home button is fine, it will look like this.
#key 139 MENU
key 102 HOME
#key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
6. When you have the ones you want optioned out just tap the little disk icon in the top right. It will ask for root rights, grant it, saved.
7. Now just reboot and DONE!
Tested on
