[HELP!] - Hardkeys not responding! Need remap help ):

Hi!
I was stupid enogh to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6594359#post6594359 since it read "Manilla 2.5", not noticing it was for Touch Pro2.. Now my Hardkeys have died and I have to restart my phone (battery in and out) each time the screen shuts down.
Anyone got a resolution to this? /: Been searching with no luck for some time now ):
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I got a response from the authour of the app. that uses this and it reads:
"Goto to Start/Settings/System and you will find there the Keyboard Config.
- Open it and you should see ther the Home key created.
- Press and hold on the top of the "Home [10"] and a small menu should popup.
- Hit remove and than update config.
- You should also remove the dotcompt TP2 Start Menu Hardware key remap.cab.
- Soft reset"
I got no key-values in the list.. and I cannot add new keys (the app says I should press a key and release it to set it, but nothing happens, no reaction)
Is there something similar designed for the HD2?

None of the 4 hardkeys work.. AE-button? I cannot uninstall the cab, because it is not in the installed apps list (though it is in system settings.....)

Same problem
I'm having the same problem. None of my hard keys are working at all. Touch screen controls are fine. Tried going in through "System", then Keyboard Controller, but it says wrong drivers are installed :/

Bad mistake to use soft from TP2 topic
AE Button is a tools to remap Key, but it works only for WIndows and Green Button

Windows and Green Button? It is windows mobile, and to bring up an app. for a PC? (guess you mean windows for PC since you specified that it only works for windows)

Installed and tried that AE app now, still dead.
Oh, the volume buttons are also dead.
Well, I guess I'll have to wait a couple of weeks and just live with it until I'm ready for a hard-reset of my device.. a couple of days worth of work modding it back to what it was earlier today ><

Sorry guy :/

Thanks for the time and effort man, appreciated to see that some are comitted to helping!
That, I know all about, after a couple of years in cust. service for mobile d: contacts and messages are luckily saved through Windows MyPhone <3

I fixed this issue. Go into your REMOVE PROGRAMS screen and delete the application that has KEYBOARD Controller, or something similar to it. I noticed it on my list of applications and did not recall it being there before. I removed it, then performed a soft reset and all was back to normal afterwards.

(I did a Hard-reset as I had an opportunity)

You will have much better luck getting your questioned answered in Cookies Thread.

This happened to me randomly after installing an older version of WKtasks. If that's the case, search for the wktasks optimized for the HD2 thread. Or better still, I switched to xTasks, which is much more versatile.
if you don't have wktasks, then sorry, can't help you here. I suggest you uninstall your programs backwards, and see if the problem recurs.

Home and back buttons adjust volume...? on Hyperdroid w/ Energy ROM

For some reason it has become very difficult to back out of a screen due to the fact that the back arrow key/button raises the volume while the home key lowers the volume while at the same time going to the home screen. Energy w/ froyo was working fine, but energy aug 28th w/ Hyperdroid results in this. I will try ChuckyRom to see if it changes anything.

I'm have same problem, but with ChuckyDroid 30/07

O may whatever god you believe in bless you child...I thought i was the only one having issues...
do your button lights stay on too?

I don't know what exactly the problem, but yesterday I reinstalled twice different ROMs , but the keys don't work correctly, the strangest thing that the keys work properly only with android from Xcelsior and I really want to make them work in FroyoStone Sense.
In my opinion it is not independent, but affect the Windows. Try to create hard reset and please tell me if you can help.

That's the thing, i have no button assigning programs. regardless what rom i am using (miri, energy...) i have the exact problem.. Could it be hardware related---or is it a straight software issue? When pressing home (on a regular winmo rom), the dialer pops up. On android, home causes the screen to go home but at the same time lower the volume. Quite frustrating.

seems like a hardware issue, if thats the case. (same behavior regardless of ROM)
Best to try have it replaced if you can.

I think I almost understood the reason and the essence of the problem,
I begin to work normally buttons, but for a short time.
1.run program "task 29" and completely clean rom mamory
2.install any rom, but better than standard
on android:
1.android necessarily be from desare, and not from Nexus.
2. system partition must be made in a 32 bit system ubuntu
3. kernel and preloading does not matter, only file (archive) system.ext2

[Q] homekey setup on D2?

OK so I just got my D2 last week, and I have to admit its kind of a grows on ya thing. I also have an hd2 as my personal phone so im spoiled with the giant screen. D2 is much more responsive then my hd2 and dont get me started windows lame OS.
BUT....
Why is there no built in "home" key? when Im browsing there doesn't seem to be any way to get back to the desktop of my phone with out hitting the return button and exiting all applications.
Very annoying. And the whole bajillion apps running that can't be shut off. I bought an app that "freezes" them, so far so good. Why do I have to buy an app to open the cmd prompt?
and the searchsoft key. wtf nothing happens.
IS there any way I can hack and re-assign my keys to different functions?
I would like the search key (magnifying glass) to bring up google search any time i hit it, and my home key to always go back to the homescreen.
is this just me being a noob and cant git' r' done or is this a D2/android thing? THis is only my first week with the android operating system, I realy love it, really makes WM look like a pos. yeah and windows 7? it just ads more ghey to the old wm. stil sucks.
Any help would be nice thanks!

Are you using the stock ROM and launcher? or do you use launcher pro or ADW?
the home key should already be assigned to go back to the desktop as far as I know.

Hi yes I still have stock rom. Also my lockscreen doesn't work and when I push the keylock\power button it doesn't fully lock the screen as if I push the volume button the screen turns on. So im not sure what's up. Homekey as I said doesn't work anymore as well.isn't there someway to hack the phone to re assign keypad softkey function? Also none of these keys work on th KB as well. I still havnt upgraded to 2.3 yet. Seems like a hassle to unroot delete every thing and start over. Yes I have clockwork also TI backup pro
Any suggestions would be great

I don't use the stock launcher anymore. ADW and from what I hear LauncherPro both have preferences that change the home key assignment. I would upgrade to 2.3.20 though it's not a big of a hassle as you would think. I've sbf'd my phone twice and factory reseted everytime I upgrade a ROM. It doesn't take that long as long as you know what you are doing and you have backed up what you need. Google will remember your contacts and apps and settings if you tell it to. The only thing I have to setup are my non gmail email and a few apps that I have login info for. You don't have to unroot. You can just flash the new sbf and then re-root and you'll be updated (always flash with a full or near full battery) and I wouldn't be surprised if it fixed the problem. I've never heard of the soft key's not working on the stock ROM. They worked when I used it before we even had root.
The only way I can get my phone to wake with the volume button is to use "no lock" to turn of the lock screen. But if the lock screen is in place the only way to wake the phone is to press power and then use the sliders.

[Q] 3 Hardware Buttons Support

Hello,
I am pretty new to this FirefoxOS but I think I know a lot about Android.
Today I found a official build of FirefoxOS for Huawei Y300-II or Y300-F1 I'm not sure. I flashed it on my Huawei Ascend Y300 (old one with android) and it worked flawlessly untill I found that only Home button works.
And I would like to make atleast my Back button work. I was alto thinking - when I extract System.img it has some files same as android and one of them is /usr/keylaout/generic.kl. I compared those two files and they seem to be pretty same.
So will FirefoxOS ever have support for 3 buttons phones? Is there already a 3button phone from where I could try to port support for it?
And also what files are used to control sound? Because it doesnt work either.
Thanks and sorry for my english.

FXOS does not use any other buttons than home. Apps should be written in a way that you dont need any, much like IOS.

Correct me if I am wrong.
Isn't possible to "bind" this taskmanager (long home press) to maybe menu button?
