I'm running an ICS rom (Zips Creamed Glacier). On most ICS roms the track pad is useless from what ive seen. Is it possible to remap it to bring up the list of previous application rather than holding down the home button?
I've tried to add track pad wake/sleep for a bit now. Tried button rempper and even manually editing the glacier kepypad.kl file with an no go.

Thanks for the attempt...
I'm hoping some one with more skills can figure it out.
i was actually wondering this myself...im so use to having that trackpad button functioning that using roms that dont have it working is just annoying to me...one of the main reasons i stick wit CM7...
but in relation to ur same question,what Roms besides CM7,actually have a functioning trackpad button?

Anyone else have issues with their Delete key? It seems I have to hit it twice to get it moving. I can type very fast and smooth with easy button presses, but the delete key seems to be a PITA.

Don't have any problems here with any keys (that I've found so far). Is it a case of since its a little more difficult to get to (upper right) corner that you don't realize you are not pressing it the same way as the other keys?
Just a thought.
No problems here
Never had that problem.

Hard keyboard or virtual? I haven't had that issue with either. Off topic, but my spacebar on the landscape virtual is a pain, I always end up hitting the b or v.

If you're not using a custom keyboard, have you tried calibrating your keyboard at:
Menu-->Settings-->Language&Keyboard-->Touch Input-->Text Input-->Calibration Tool
(Interestingly enough, Calibration tool is only available if you hold the phone in Portrait and not in Landscape)
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried. I'm going to try it again. Coming from the Hero and having the tight sliding due to my case, its going to be hard to get used a the hard keyboard again. It is weird that the calibration only works in portrait or w/e you call it, the Hero was the same way.

i think it might be that I'm just not hittin it right. I was typing last night and when I hit delete it worked right away. I just might be hittin it off center.
Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I was messing around on my gtablet, and it was somewhat dark so i couldn't see the capacitive buttons, which made me mistakenly keep touching them. It really got on my nerves, so i went in and found a way to disable them. I searched through the forums just to make sure there wasn't a specific post already for this, and correct me if im wrong, but i did not see one.
So without further ado, here is the mod.
Disable:Disable Capacitive Buttons
Re-Enable:Re-Enable Capacitive Buttons
I've tested this on Flashback 10.0, but should work on any older honeycomb roms. It may work on gingerbread, but i haven't tested it yet. Feel free to try!!
Is this is flashable through cwm?

This has already been addressed, it works perfectly - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177174
I would love to do this but unfortunately sometimes my on screen buttons don't always react to the touch. Plus, some apps don't allow me to click the menu button (or settings button, not sure) and I have to click the press the capacitive button.
Ok I've been searching for this like a crazy person but haven't found any really useful information about this.
I have a MT4G which doesn't work well with trackpad wake, so I would like to know if there are more roms out there that do NOT have the trackpad wake feature enabled.
I know that cm7 has an option to disable it and also I have a sense rom that was patched to disable this feature... but switching between just 2 roms is a little bit limitating... so... does anybody know about some other roms that do NOT wake the phone using the trackpad? only the power button? maybe ported roms from other devices that do not have trackpads? anyone?
Thanks for reading this and I really hope you can help me find more roms

If trackpad wake doesn't work for you, don't use it.

DARKSIDE Sense v3.3 (Sense 3.5) was really solid and didn't come with trackpad wake, if I recall. Had menu and back wake, I think. Power wake too, of course.They all have that. Even Roms with trackpad wake can be woken up with power button.

Virtuous Affinity 2.05 has a setting to disable track pad wake. It is a VERY nice ROM. Very few problems. You do have to install the Amaze Camera (or any one of your choice) if you want the FFC to not be upside down.

Agreed. But if your looking for no track pad wake I reccomend this I have been using this as my daily driver .
As I learned in another thead, i believe you can wake it using the home button, almost as good as using trackpad. I think this works for IceColdSandwich and zips creamed glacier.
Button remapper
Appelflap has a way to fix this! Read this post:

We can use Button remapper.But there is NO trackpad key to remap in Zip's rom
In case you're looking for a newer ROM, Toasted Marshmallow runs JB and has no track pad wake.

I've just read/watched the Engadget review.
I'm sold on the device. My concern is around the hardware keys. I much prefer hardware keys to software keys because the SW keys eat up so much of the on-screen real estate, and they also push the keyboard higher and make it harder to reach.
That being said, it seems by dropping the menu key, HTC has taken a step backwards after they mapped the legacy menu key to the HW menu key in recent versions of the One X / X+ build in Sense 4+. From what I've read, the legacy menu is back.
This is *bad* and has me thinking about another direction (although there doesn't seem to be a great device like the One - don't think the S4 will be anything interesting unless they've been setting up a smokescreen!).
I run an alternative launcher because I dislike Sense (other than the Camera!), but it won't solve the missing HW key / legacy menu.
Thoughts?
The two button layout doesn't bother me too much. I removed the soft keys on my Nexus 4 and use PIE so if I can function without any buttons, I'm sure I'll live with two. As for the legacy menu thing, that's an odd on HTC's part. Granted, apps should be updated to have proper menu button support, but it's something I can live with.
The removal of long press back remapping was/is probably a bug, I'm sure it will be back
idk about everyone else but i will root and flash my device just like every other phone ive had. with that we will be able to do almost what we want personalization wise. how long will we have to wait is the question.

Agreed. I heard about this early on but it's not being mentioned in reviews. If nothing else HTC will cave to peer pressure like in the HOX. Long press on back is a passable solution - particularly if we can also get the in-app menu button too.
Otherwise the other idea being thrown about (by non technical people) is if the kernel can be modded to recognise the HTC logo as a button - given that the touch panel should extend over that as well. No idea how possible this is and I presume it couldn't be done until kernel source is out.
M.
Only two buttons doesn't bother me either, i only have one on my iphone!
I'm actually cool with just 2 button too. I rarely use my menu button on my mt4g. I do everything with just the home button and back button. Also rather have capacitive buttons instead of hard buttons.

I use the multitasking and menu options quite a bit, thus my concern
I also use the menu button quite a bit.
I am sure once we get used to it, it will be like anything else and heck, we might even like it more. Who knows till we get to play withem...

I guess. It's possible on TouchWiz, so I guess you can add a line in the build.prop in Sense too.

My main goal would be to deactivate the hardware buttons and go completely nexus wise.

Are stock on screen buttons smart enough to activate the additional menu button when needed?
Also... can long press software home button activate google now?

So do I but a long press of the button to bring up the multi tasking menu is hardly a dealbreaker for me. Could prove to be annoying though. Time will tell I guess!
Sent from my XT925 using xda premium
^ I don't mind long-press for multi-tasking (it's what I am using today); the issue is that you can't have home, multi-tasking, Google Now and Legacy menu all on one key! I've been seeing some comments about long-press back used but the legacy menu really needs to be a single-press.
Dun recall where i read it, but the home key on double tap brings up multi tasker and on long press can b configured for google now or menu key. Thats acceptable to me.
I do prefer the 3 keys on my hox, but i realize that htc had to make a compromise to accomodate the logo. The logo could not have been placed elsewhere on the front without adding to the height of the phone.
In the end, its not a big issie and we will get used to it. Moving from 4 keys on dhd to 3 on the hox wasnt pleasing to me in the beginning, but adapted soon.

i think its great, i never used the other two buttons anyway.
Hi,
I was going to post this in one of the kernel threads but thought maybe it'd be interesting to more people. We've seen a few mods changing the navigation key behaviour (s2l l2h and what not). I previously suggested implementing the nexus layout into the htc using the logo as I'm a fan of having a recent apps key and I think others will like it too. However I think a better solution would be to re program the home key (or maybe the back key since home key uses google now) so that when you swipe up it opens the recent apps. I know it'd only save half a second but would make this more fluid than having to double tap. I'm not a developer but I'm just giving my idea. I thought it might be easy to do as well since it's already done with the home key swiping up to google now, so the same code can just be copied to the back key?
(
So, what do you guys think? If its easily doable I think this will be popular and could be a standard feature in most roms (or kernels?) , like the 3-dot menu removal and such.
(Also, was having a hard time answering the 'is this a question', its more of a suggestion but I could be wrong so sorry
I use the logo for recent apps on my GPe One.

How? Link? That's an ok idea though I don't like how it's not really the logo we touch it's the bottom of the screen, I always hit too high or too low.

You can configure the buttons in ViperOne. I have long press home set to open recent apps. I also use LMT launcher as a menu button, and it also has a button to jump to my last used app. Its awesome for multitasking.

It's definitely not a perfect solution, and I'm still REALLY MAD at HTC for ruining what would have been the perfect android device, but it's better than nothing.
I flash a kernel tha offers logo2menu and go into system\usr\keylayout and change the bindings and reboot. Obviously requires root.

May i know which file under /system/usr/keylayout did u edit? Is it synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl?
This is the content for the file
Code:
key 102 HOME
key 158 BACK
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
I would like to change the HTC logo to multitasking, but im not sure what to change key 139 to.
Any insight on this would be helpful.
Update: figured it out!
for anyone interested in doing this, here's how you do it.
Just modify key 139 to this
Code:
key 139 APP_SWITCH WAKE_DROPPED
