[GUIDE] Simple way to change physical keyboard keymappings! - G2 and Desire Z General

How to change FN(ALT) + key symbols, add them and even change everything on the qwerty -keyboard:
Works at least on Cyanogenmod 10 with android 4.2.2
Hi!
Today I ran into a problem. There were no < and > symbols in my phone (except virtual keyboard) and I needed them. I couldn't find any good guide how to change physical keyboard mappings so that I could use FN + button combo to get those symbols. I only found one guide, but it didn't work for me, old version perhaps? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945921)
This is the way I found, and it's quite simple!
Quick guide:
1) Connect phone with usb and usb debugging on.
2) Find your keyboard layout name from settings -> language & input -> physical keyboard -> selected layout (for example: "vision-keypad-nor")
3 )Filename is layout + ".kcm" -> so in this example "vision-keypad-nor.kcm"
4) Go to command line and:
Code:
adb pull system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-nor.kcm c:\vision-keypad-nor.kcm
5) Open file c:\vision-keypad-nor.kcm in notepad or other program
6) Find the key uou want to edit, for example A:
Code:
key A {
label:'A'
base:'a'
shift, capslock:'A'
alt: '#'
shift+alt:'#'
}
7) Lets edit that so we get "<" -symbol when pressing FN+A:
Code:
key A {
label:'A'
base:'a'
shift, capslock:'A'
alt: '\u003C'
shift+alt:\u003C'
}
Note: \u003C is unicode for "<". Find more unicodes: http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-character-map-files.html -> Input -> Key character map files
8) Save the file
9) Send the file back to the phone:
Code:
adb push c:\vision-keypad-nor.kcm /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-nor.kcm
10) Reboot phone and try pushing FN+A: If you get "<" everything went fine
Im new to this, so please tell me if somethings is wrong with this guide!
Update 28.10.2013 : Updated guide to be more clear.

Oh, sorry... I don't read your guid carefully first time. It's about an 4.x OS :-[

Now i do have one question... because ADB nor USB is not possible for me would this be possible using a root file explorer or no? I will try once I find the time and figure out how to get the www. and .com key back just may be a day or 2 before i can try.
By the way nice find

Been looking for a tutorial like this so that I can finally make better use of a few of the keys on my keyboard. Thanks a lot for the break down.
T.

NICE
Thanks soo much. Now lets make use of our hardware-keybs
Next step would be to assign scripts instead of single charakter
Imagine how many root-scripts we could execute with this as base for the hotkeys

Anyone have any luck getting the www. .com button to work like stock? Right now I have it as TAB.

Codes
Are that something similar to ASCII codes?

can I add a new language with this trick?

Can Anyone knows how to add second language to physical keyboard? We aready have a key to SW between 2 language but it's only work for English Lang.

nice guide! i need to make russian h\w keyboard, can someone help me with this?

Thank you all, hope that helped you
I think if you want to create a russian keyboard, you just edit that file and put the unicode -code of the russian character to every single button or so on? Not sure though.
SmIzUrF: I think you can edit that file with some root File Explorer on the phone. Just navigate to that folder and file.
I updated the guide so it is more clear

combination with hw quicksettings launcher
is it possible to combine it with HW quicksetting launcher by suzuna apps?
however they utilize hw key search button, do anyone know the ascii of hardware key search button? is it possible to map the search function into the other physical key?
thanks.

Is this guide still relevant with later roms? Some ICS or JB roms dont use the Nordic keymap and it would be useful to replace that.

Great guide! I will definitely use it!
Thanks.

wow!! thanks so much, I am running phoenixOS on my laptop and its keyboard is in German qwerty layout (strange right? - qwerty and not qwertz) but i needed the keys to be mapped according to the keyboard lettering. I am certainly gonna try this out!!

[MK16i] CM7 hardware keymap

However much I search the forums, I cannot find the way to switch layout for the hardware keyboard on my MK16i after installing cm7. My handset has a scandinavian keyboard, but the mappings are something .... else.
Solutions presented are incomplete and this leaves me with a "pro" without the keyboard. The subject is discussed in the developer forum, but I am too new as a user to participate.
Please point me in the rigtht direction !

Hi! You can go here for more support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315904&page=12
There's a file there you need to download and replace to have a working keyboard mapping.
Thanks for being helpful. That thread is the primary source on the subject, but it did not help to solve the problem.
This is a development issue, but it is not possible to take part in development for a new member.
I seek knowledge about how the hardware keyboard mapping actually works, rather than a fire and forget style fix. There is plenty of text on the subject for other habndsets, but the MK16 is too new, and it is often mixed up with other 'pro' models. This is probably why I have no solution.
Still searching Maybe something for Santa ?
*edit*:
KeyboardChanger.apk changed nothing - the hardware keyboard mapping is still wrong
Replacing pm8058-keychars.kcm.bin did not work - no effect on hardware key mapping
Replacing pm8058-keylayout.kl did not work - no effect on hardware key mapping
Replacing files because somebody tells that this should solve a problem helps little, when I have no idea when the system needs these files. On my device, the input method lister shows only the "Android keyboard" - somewhow I remember that the original ROM lists the "Sony Ericsson keyboard" too - but this too is dificult to find information about, although there is much written about replacing software keyboard layouts.
I so hope that some dev will find this post...
{PRO}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM7.2.0 - FXP052 FreeXperia Project
Now that FXP052 is out, I see that the hardware mapping problem remains unresolved. I'm looking into file connections, but it would be nice to catch the attention of some developers.
This ROM is otherwise a splendid mod for the phone.
//
I found some interesting things.
First things first, I installed CM7.2.0 052, then added the directories keyboard-config, keychars and keylayout, as this is hinted in the CM forums.
After booting, I used the keyboard changer app to select ... SE (swedish) keymap. This had NO effect, other than the contents of the pm8058-keypad.kcm.bin were changed.
I then selected the DK (danish) keymap, which - fantastically ! - resulted in almost fully correct keyboard mappings: only the adiaeresis and odiaeresis letters were bad.
Selecting the NO (norwegian) keymap gives similar results to selecting the swedish keymap.
So it appears that this may be a bug in the keyboard changer app, regarding scandinavian mapings.
Notable is also that copying the keymap files from the device to the CM7 installation is not enough. I will continue this investigation in the CM forums, but leave the information here for other swedish MK6i users. (CM forum link: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/33585-sony-ericsson-xperia-pro/ )
//
Finally resolved !
For those listening (the number of views indicates clearly greater interest in this subject than the single response), may I present teh solution:
Make sure that you use the correct .kl file (I suspect that this needs no replacement for most of the time, but see below for explanation)
Create or get a new kcm.bin file for your keypad
Copy the kcm.bin file to qwerty.kcm.bin and pm8058-keypad.kcm.bin
Check permissions (should be 0644)
Reboot
In my case, the elsewhere available kcm file for the swedish layout works, once it is actually copied to both targets...
---
The conclusion: looking into the source of the keyboard changer app revealed the actions needed to actually change the layout. Since the app has bad data, the user may correct the data manually (until sombody, possibly me, updates the FXP app source).
I have still not found out how the keyboard actually works. My questions from the first post are still there, but at least the PRO device is useful as a PRO device.

Sym key
Is the "Sym" key working on FXP builds? I am currently using CyanogenMod 7.2-RC1 on my MK16i (Quertz layout) and the Sym key is not operational. This is quite annoying when trying to work on a shell, as characters such as <, > and | are not available while the hardware keyboard is extended. If the Sym key were working on FXP ROMs, this would be a definite reason to try them out. (See also http: //forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/46410-72-rc1-sym-key-not-functional/ for more details.)
Thanks a lot,

The sym key is opertional only in the Stock ROM.. It is used just to enter smileys so dont worry about that..
That's not true, with sym key you can write many symbols, that is not shown on hw keyboard.

As I've written already: I need the Sym key to work on a (remote) shell. In particular I work a lot on bash, but also for running Emacs in console mode, operating the 'screen' terminal multiplexer, mcabber, mutt, ... The mentioned keys are quite imperative for any kind of useful work with these programs.

[5.0][CM12] How to Activate On Screen Buttons and turn of Capacitive Buttons

Hey guys,
There have been a ton of people asking how to activate onscreen buttons and disable the capacitive buttons since CM12 builds have started rolling out. Obviously, at some point, these features will be rolled into the ROM, but until then, I figured it would be a good idea to simply present a step-by-step thread on the issue. There have been answers all over the place button nothing dedicated and centralized, so I figured I would help some guys out.
Things needed:
CM12 Build on any variety (currently K900 and bpear have "nightlies" available in development. Check em out.
Root access. Just flash SuperSU 2.16 (http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip) if you don't have it. Root is necessary.
Zip to turn of the backlights: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p385se5ia28cqab/noSoftkeyBacklight.zip (thanks @Moody for this)
1.) Activate On-Screen buttons
- Use a program such as BuildProp Editor (look it up on the Play Store) to create a new build.prop entry. Call it qemu.hw.mainkeys, and set it's value to 0. If you are doing this manually, just add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
- Reboot.
2.) Deactivate Capacitive buttons
- Download Root Explorer or some other program that allows editing of system level files.
- Mount your system as R/W. In root explorer at least, when you get into the system, there is a button up top to do so.
- Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout. Open Generic.kl in with a text editor.
- Comment out the follow lines by inserting a pound sign (#) in front of the line:
key 158 BACK
key 172 HOME
key 139 MENU
After this, they will read:
# key 158 BACK
# key 172 HOME
# key 139 MENU
Therse are numerically ordered, shouldn't be hard to find within the document.
- Remount your system as R/O.
3.) Turn off the capacitve back lights
- Reboot into custom recovery and flash noSoftKey.zip file you downloaded earlier.
- Reboot.
That should do it! You should now have software buttons and your hardware buttons should seemingly not exist!
Any questions or comments, please leave them here.

Hi there, first of all, thanks. I am having a problem where after I disabled the capacitive buttons (Step 2) the power and volume buttons are not working. Thanks in advance.
You know how to enable menu key also?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk
Yes any chance of getting home button long press as search? Default is the menu button doing this.
Its not working bro
Tried and followed your steps , disabling capacitive keys works but enabling on screen keys not working even after changing build.prop , also i read in some post that enabling on screen key mod will not work in cm roms is that true can any one confirm me?
i am using following rom its CM12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/devrom-cm12-scheduled-builds-t2938372
its very stable didnt experience any glitch till now , multi user and guest account works , all the other features are working too, try it out friends.
Pure awesomeness, many thanks for this guide. I'm back to my comfort zone, onscreen for me is just more intuitive.?
BTW, how to bring back the capacitive lights? I tried to remove the script at /etc/init.d and it only bootloops after reboot.
Edit: Nvm, found it, re-flashing the ROM brings back all to the default behavior including the capacitive backlights.

For some reason this step isn't working for me. I tried wiping cache/dalvik and it didn't fix anything
Can anyone give a screenshot of the on-screen buttons?
Is this possible to do in hydrogen OS? I love that rom, but i switch back since there is no option to turn off hardwer keys and enable software key in system?

LOS 14.1 - Swap hardware (capacitive) buttons without Xposed+Gravity Box?

Hello there,
As of now, Xposed is still not supported in LOS 14.1 as stated by the person maintaining it in this recent post. Is there a way to make the hardware buttons operate inverted? Right now the left button is "BACK" and the right button is "RECENTS" without any way to change it directly from the settings menu.
I have tried editing the file
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
directly from the TWRP terminal using VI, in the following entries:
Code:
key 139 MENU --> key 139 BACK
key 158 BACK --> key 158 MENU
But even after rebooting, the changes didn't happen. I checked the Generic.kl file and the changes persisted but no change whatsoever. Has anyone tried ButtonMapper ?? The pro version allows changing the button mapping but it seems like a temporal solution rather than a permanent, more elegant one.
Thanks for any help provided!

The free version allows swapping back and recents. It doesn't require root and is less intrusive than using xposed.

You are COMPLETELY wrong, Free version Does allow Swap of the hardware keys
Just toggle when it say " Swap Back and Recents " ,will stick at boot ,but will needs to be reenable when dirty flash a new build. Been using since the first LineageOS build.

Just in case, this has been posted, I can confirm it works just fine. POST. The difference is that @XblackdemonX edited the Synpatics.kl file instead of Generic.kl.

[Q] enable the softkeys

Redmi Note 2, Android 5.0.2, MIUI 9.6
Need to enable original soft keys. I`ve managed to edit build.prop (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) from TWRP terminal and sed command. Keys showed BUT don`t response.
I`ve noticed a new menu option in Settings (can`t be not quite accurate, coz I have a translation enabled) - System and Device -> Advanced -> Buttons and gestures -> Screen buttons -> Change buttons positions. And if I change positions, it changed. But buttons are stil not responding.
Are there any MORE options in build.prop, that blocks it?
UPD:
[How To] Disable Capacitative Keys and Enable Soft Keys
Just in case anyone might find this useful, I've put together the instructions I found whilst trying to do this. Finally I can take photos without accidentally bringing up the Menu or closing the Camera App! First time I've ever posted here, so be kind! This works in CM11 M6 on Samsung Galaxy...
forums.androidcentral.com
I`ve found some article, that point to /system/usr/keylayout/ directory and need to comment key 139 and key 158. But there were no such filename from article. So I`ve just tried to edit Generic.kl and It doesn`t work.
