Posted this in another thread, seems a lot of people didn't see it so ill repost what i said in a new thread.
Code:
First go into the game then press the home button it will minimize the game.
Then hold the button next to the search button down for a couple of seconds.
The on screen keyboard will show up, now return to the game.
Type in cheat
?????
Profit.
Also, sometimes the gamepad needs to be closed.
Tried this option - does now work.
Already said million times and even confirmed by Rockstar...
THERE IS NO OPTION TO CHEAT IN THIS GAME FOR NOW!!
Does now work? Can't understand if you meant "doesn't work" or it works now but didn't before. This does indeed work although the only cheat i have tried so far was the "gunsgunsguns" cheat i could take a screen shot for proof if you would like.

After about month of using my dinc, I've found that I literally never press the opti trackpad button. Is there any way to make this button act as a dedicated camera launching button (or to set it up to launch a specific app). I've done no customization to my phone thus far (waiting to see how the Froyo OTA plays out before I start hacking), but I have no problem with rooting or installing a custom ROM in order to get this functionality. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if its only available in certain ROMs, which one? I'd love to reclaim this currently useless button.

Most roms I have used use the trackball for the camera. Also this belongs in general. Mods please move.

I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I posted it in general section and the only response was that I should try posting it in the development forum. If you happen to see this again, I'd really appreciate a list of any ROMS you used that you are sure had this functionality.
This should be in development because things will have to be edited in order for it to work... most Roms let you take pics w/ the trackpad but he wants it to be able to open it up from whatever screen he's on by pressing that pointless little button... lets make it less pointless...

This is the misconception that bothers a lot of people on here. While this may require ' development' to get it to work, it is not development in itself, but a question. Therefore, it should be in general.

Qwerty.KL Layout
I was looking at the qwerty.kl file and I see that Key 212 is defined for the camera but the second argument is left blank. Is the second argument the action for the key? Does anyone have any documentation on the layout of this file. Seems simple but I would like to know possibilities?
For the wake on press of the button, key272 DPAD_CENTER was given the action "WAKE".
I hope this is framed in more of a development format.
There should be a prompt that asks people "Are you a developer?" after they click the "new thread" link in the development forum. If you can't answer yes to the question, then your post goes to general.
To address the OP's question however, I tried everything under the sun and couldn't get it to work. Although I was trying to get it to bring up the dialer app with the "CALL" property. I ended up just remapping it to the "search" softkey and it works just fine. I use LauncherPro so I just made the Internet icon in my launcher tray launch voice search on the upswipe from the internet icon so I didn't lose any functionality.
Jeez, you would think people smart enough to develop software would refrain from bumping a thread they feel is in the wrong forum, JUST to declare that the thread is in the wrong forum. Especially when such a declaration has already been made in said thread.
Anyways, I'm sorry if my phrasing was not appropriate for this board. The natural extension of this question is "what development steps can be taken, or what paths should I pursue, to try to realize this goal". To be clear, I am a software dev by education and by trade. I have never developed on a mobile platform, and so I don't have any specifics of android OS development in which to frame my question.
All of that said, if anyone has any additional information about the qwerty.kl file, I would greatly appreciate it. Is there an API of some kind for the functions that can be mapped to keys in that file? Maybe one of them allows for some customization, and can be used to launch a specific App? Given that I actually use all 4 soft buttons, and the track pad button is both unused outside of specific apps and also the picture taking button within most camera apps, any other solution is going to eat away at me as inelegant.
To those who have offered insight or tried to help, thank you, I sincerely appreciate your time.
Anyone know of an app or hack that will let lock the screen so the touch screen doesn't recognize input so that I could launch netflix or youtube for my 1.5 yo daughter and she can touch it without messing it up?

there is an App on the Market called "Screen Tools" which has this function.
It allows you to use your camera button to "disable" the touchscreen. Not sure if this app will work on our Acer tablets, as we have no camera button - but it may be worth a 99cent gamble.
Also, from I have seen with the Netflix app - it does not keep playing in the background or pause when another app takes focus - it just stops the video and dumps you back to the selection screen. Not sure if this is going to be possible
I wonder if this would be better in the development section it would be nice to assign the rotation lock to a screen hold/lock

This is not a topic for the development section, perhaps in Android General or Android Software and Hacking, as I see this being an application (especially since there is no source available for HC to be modified in such a way as you are hoping, meaning for a ROM developer to make this happen would be kind of far-fetched right now). Certainly it would require root, and most likely it would work as launcher replacement, perhaps requiring a specific gesture to be drawn to unlock the screen. This is a neat idea, not sure if the sdk allows this type of control from a launcher replacement, but perhaps Anderwebs (the developer of ADW) or another launcher master would know if this is possible. They would also be the most likely to implement this type of feature. Perhaps ask a moderator to move this into the Android Software Development and Hacking forum?
Unless you want to completely limit your options be requiring this to use the rotation lock switch, which would make this a device specific request, severely limiting the number of developers (application and os level) who would be able to assist you. I would approach it from a more generic state, make it applicable to all Android devices, and that way I could get more people interested in it and make it happen.
But, don't just go and start a whole bunch of threads, ask a mod to move this thread, change the title of your post to something like : App/Feature Request - Baby Proof (On-Demand Input Locking). That might work. I would stick with gesture based, and make it require a multi-touch gesture, obviously you would make something that your child could not easily imitate as your gesture, to unlock it, there should be an easy way to enter lock mode as well...
just my 2 cents
Just go buy app locker... it will lock everything or specific apps

There's an app I use for the same reason, but I don't give the tablet to my youngest in fear of it becoming a Frisbee or drowned in saliva. But my toddlers listen to direction, so this app works.
The FREE app is called "Show Screen Lock." But, because the "Home and Back" button are the means to unlock, if your child hits one of those, it will be unlocked.
Anyway, good luck!
I wish long pressing the volume up button locks and unlocks the screen.
edit:
Nevermind, I overlooked that you wanted to use this while playing media. This app freezes images, so no video plays at the moment. I've emailed the developer a while ago and he said he's working on one specifically for tablets.
Samsung's Touchwiz has this function. If you are playing video you can hit the power/lock button and it will lock it from screen or button presses until you hit the lock button again.
I dont know if there would be a way to extract that part of the UI to move over without porting everything.
I use it all the time with galaxy s phones so my kids can watch shows.
.....
There is also an app called "Kid Zone" by zoodles. It is nice, and free, and can be upgraded to premium. I use it on my phones and tablet and the kids love it. They can draw and do games and learn and I get emails about what they did and uploads in the email of their drawings. The cool thing is you can lock everything so that the only way to exit the app is to draw a "Z"
Its a nice app, and thinking about upgrading to premium with it here soon.

I used to use toddler lock, but as HC doesnt really have full screen while hiding the buttons the toddler lock doesnt work as well, but still temporarily fun.
Edit: I have recently been trying out HoneyBar for HC Tablets. It hides the bar at the bottom of rooted tablet. Works pretty well, and so far one of the best options I know of.
hi,
I realize I've been starting quite a few threads in the last days, I hope this is not frowned upon as newb polution or whatever, do tell me if you think it's to much and I'll work on it.
I like to write long and formated reading notes about what I read, not something I can do with the commenting tools of the readers, what I'd like to do is write it in a text editor and juggle it with my book when I feel like taking notes. So do you know of a way to do that ?
What I'm looking for is kind of an equivalent of alt+tab
cheers
Launch your note taking app before the reader. Then, while reading, long-press the 'n' button to get the recent apps list. You may need to install Nook Touch Tools to enable this. You can also enable the option to show the Home, Back, Menu, Search buttons.
Unfortunately, I don't think cut & paste work between apps.
Be sure your note taking app and reader are excluded from being killed off by any task manager you're using.
Awesome! I had no clue I could use that!
That's certainly good enough for now, but if anyone has any ideas how to do it faster though (I'm a complete alt-tab addict ) I'd love to hear it
And for the record you don't need Nook Touch Tools to get that, (I don't have it)
but yeah since you're mentioning it, I've been trying to find the install file for that, could you point me in the right direction?

Nook Touch Tools are here. If you enable the extended menu options, you don't need Button Savior any more.
Button savior is still good to have, though, in case something goes wrong and you accidentally lock yourself in the default home.
thanks for the install file!
yeah I don't want to get rid of button savior just now, it doesn't take much space anyway!
I think the home button on button savior and the extended recent apps list do the same thing.
Soooo, I've been trying to map some controls to touchscreen and it seemed to be going pretty good, until.....MINECRAFT!
I don't like the built in Minecraft mapping mode at all, having to hold then release a button at just the right moment to move the camera without picking away blocks is like trying to grab flies in mid-air.
I just would like the gesture mapping button to do what tincore does, while you're holding the gesture mapped button, it continually replays the same gesture over and over. I feel I could have made it work really well if this was possible. Although, I haven't done a whole lot with switching pages if that would help, not sure though.
I just thought maybe some people would like to share some sweet button layout tricks with everyone?
Personally, I've found it's almost easier to map right analog directions to short burst gesture directions and just hit the stick repeatedly. It wasn't ideal, but I like it more than the regular layout.
I like that the mapping is built in so that we don't have to run an additional app before running a game.
However, I will probably stick with Tincore for the time being due to the way the dpad is implemented. I don't like how each direction on the dpad can only be set up as a single touch. I want the dpad to emulate a joystick (north, south, east and west only) so that I can use it to move my character in a game like Final Fantasy 3. The way nVidia has done it you assign the dpad just like you assign the ABXY buttons which doesn't work for movement control in touch games that use a virtual slider type joystick where you touch then slide your thumb to move. On a static joystick that remains in one place on the screen it works fine.

I guess they will end improving it. Besides being targeted to only one device will make easy to have a big library of mappings for the more
'susceptible to frustration' users.
What I noticed with mapping is that if you offer enough functionality to properly map then there are many users that are scared just by perceived "complexity".

yes
Tincore is really good, but it scare most people due to how many thing you can configure. Maybe you can create two profiles. One for advanced users and other for basic user with less options like the nvdia shield mapper.

That is indeed an idea. On most of the cases my app is just plug and play. To be honest I really dont know which options I could hide.
To be honest, I haven't gotten to use the Tincore app myself, just have read a lot about it on here and seen tutorials on YouTube. Haven't gotten around to rooting yet, mostly the whole 'warranty' deal which I won't care about when Shield 2 hits.
But, I know as far as shield goes, the thing I like about mapping with this is just being able to have this quick bar at the top with buttons you just pull off, resize, and one click register. It really does have a lot of limitation, and you guys are right about the complexity of Tincore, but if this Shield juuuuust had that 'repeat gesture while held' and 'stop playing gesture when let go' thing, it would be all I need personally.

the thing with tin core is despite being the best mapper out there, it looks intimidating to newbies (i felt that way for the first few mins), the gui that is presented perhaps needs to be simplified with advanced options presented in different roll outs.(similar to nvidia's mapper along with more options)
the problem however is with most mappers including gamekeyboard, joystiq center, one reason is perhaps they are targeted at a very specific audience who they assume know what they are doing. Although this point is correct, more and more mainstream and casual gamer are getting into this feature everyday and see its usefulness.
Either way I cant imagine nvidia's mapper will ever come close to what tin core offers in terms of settings, which for me as a gamer is important.
Hmmmm, now that I've played around with it more I'm realizing more and more bugs with nvidia's mapping. One most important is the fact you can't hit buttons and move directional keys at the same time. Playing minecraft, you can't move the camera and walk at the same time like you can with regular touch screen play.
Another thing I'd like is resizeable buttons so they don't overlap. And I've even found a game that doesn't support the mapping at all, the options just don't come up when hitting start.
Think I'm gonna have to root and go with tincore.

I just want to know how to use the touch controller to control 3-axis flight. Pretty much like AIRCAR at Oculus Store..
It should be so simple, but I meet impossible roadblocks everywhere I go. I got some 'help' at the Unity site, a guy sent a random, non described script. His only instruction was 'attach to object, run'. When I do, and push 'Play' in Unity Game window, instead of FLYING, I can only make some NUMBERS CHANGE in the Inspector, by moving the thumbstick, trigger, etc on the touch controllers. I'm sure I am step closer, but it doesn't feel that way.
With multiple apps ready for Dashboard submission STUPID TOUCH LOCOMOTION has held me in Stasis for MONTHS!
PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF GOOD VR, HELP!
