Hello everyone, do you know application shortcuts from dock keyboard ? I know Search + b ( browser ) Search + c ( Contacts ). Actually I need a shortcut for application drawer. Also an app that we can use for creating shortcuts... I found an app that would do the trick but unfortunately it cannot be accessed since it's removed from play store.
This is a system controlled thing by Asus. I know where its doing this so i can probably edit the smali code to run custom code. I may implement this into the CROMI ROM and use CROMI Control to control the behavior.

I've done a pretty thorough search on here and have not found this info yet:
1. I need to find a way to call up the Pocket Office menu (the one with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint shortcuts) from the touch Cube. I tried using the officered.dll but can't work it out. Any Ideas?
2. I would like to toggle wifi on/off from the touch Cube as well. Any ideas to that shortcut?
Thanks
1) Search for touch settings app. This should let you change shortcuts on cube faces. Be weary, if you start to play around with it's other options, i changed the animations of the cube via this app and could not get them to change back.
or
search around the key registry for the cube app side settings and to it manualy yourself.
2) Search for just that, either google or xda, wifitoggle or something. There is a small app that has a shortcut to it too that you can use.
TouchSettings application killed the animation of the Touch Cruise Cube. I'd recommend to generally stay away from it. There's a real thing there about the biotouch version etc...
I found that you just have to link to fexplorer.exe with the path to the folder you want to open in the parameters. This way you can link the touch cube to any folder.
Still looking to toggle wifi...

That's exactly what I'd like to do but not sure what to enter in path/parameters/whatever. How do I make the tweaks?
Thanks.
Never mind - I figured it out myself somehow (Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional acorn).
I have a document that I always access and I want to be able to quickly access them via the Home launcher. Is it possible?
On the side, is their an appliaction where I can put multiple apps in different categories?
Launcher only allows quite a few, I need to add more but I dont really want to install a today plugin just for this, I will be accessing it via soft button or clicking on HTC launcher, then clicking on shortcut there which will then start that launcher ap with multiple tabs/folders (office, media etc..)
Im using Quickmenu now but I cannot seem to move the shortcuts on the progams folder (example calculator> office folder) it warns me it mite give me problems.
I kinda sovled this by using Ultimate launcher
Before 1.5, I used AnyCut to edit the length of my Home shortcuts. For example, "Power Manager Pro" is too long to fit in the icon space allotted. So I'd fire up AnyCut and shorten it to "Power" or something.
But 1.5 seems to have broken this ability: instead of getting a selection of shortcuts to edit, I just see a blank screen.
I asked in the #android channel last night, and someone said they helped write Home and that these were in a SQLite database.
If so, can I change them myself using some tool like SQLite Admin? I've looked for a database where it seems logical, i.e. /data/data/com.android.home and the like, but haven't found it yet.
You can try Bettercut maybe, which is an enhanced version of anycut. Or a Home app like dxtop, you can change names and icons on any shortcut. Sorry, don't know about the technical stuff, but it will work.
why dont you just make the shortcut with anycut and once it tells you to enter the name of it just chage it to what you want......
EX: long press home screen>shortcuts>anycut>activity>power manager pro>"change the name"power>ok and your done

I hadn't thought of it that way. So I tried, but it would only create shortcuts if I didn't change their name. When I renamed them, nothing at all was put on the screen.
The problem seems to be that Cupcake changes where (and maybe how) the Home shortcuts are stored. Which breaks certain programs, Anycut in particular. But also, MyBackup had to be updated so it could again back up Home shortcuts in Cupcake phones (same went for the browser bookmarks, I think).
These shortcuts are in /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db in a SQLite database. Use a SQLite admin tool to look at table "Favorites", field "Title" -- this is where the names on the icons are stored.
The problem is, editing that file. It seems to be "in use", so you can't make edits or replace it (tried, failed). I guess I could try the sqlite3 tool included on the platform. But it's CLI/text only, and pretty obscure to me so far.
I installed Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3 from stock rom. On the stock rom I was able to create a desktop shortcut to any contact, which would take me directly to the contact screen. In Cyanogen I try to create the same shortcut, but I can only get a "quick contact" version, meaning it acts like a widget by giving me options of call/contact/text/map. All I want is the old shortcut that takes me directly to the full screen contact when I click on the shortcut. Does anyone know if this is possible to do?
I looked at the source of ADW, and it seems like shortcut items are entries in ADW's database, so modifying files like you would on Windows seems out of the question.
Ok, i found only one app that can get the job done easily, after trying a few other popular shortcut apps. It's called xShortcut, and there were some bugs with it and cyanogen mod, but the developer was able to fix them after my feedback. As of this posting the market still has the old buggy version but I expect him to update the market soon.
Hi all, I have rooted my Firestick 4K (6.2.7.3) and now have root access with Magisk and custom ATV Launcher. What I would like to do now is remap some buttons on my FS4K remote.
I would assume there is a system file where the events are triggered that can be edited but don't know where that is. I know about the key layout file but that is only a map of the buttons on the remote and is not where the events are coded. Does anyone know the name and location of this file?
Alternatively, does anyone know how to get Button Mapper to work on the FS4K? I can install it no problem but it does not capture any input from the FS4K remote. I got Button Mapper to work fine on my other Android box with atvXperience no problem but I can't get it to work with the FS4K.
Failing the above two options, I can explore coding a background process with Android Studio, but I don't have a lot of experience with AS short of being able to create the default "Hello World" apk.
Does anyone know how I can go about remapping the FS4K remote on my rooted stick?
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

To remap the Fire TV Stick 4K remote:
1. Install Total Commander from Aptoide TV.
2. Open Total Commander -> File system root and permit root access.
3. Go to /system/usr/keylayout/ folder and you want to modify the key layout (*.kl) file.

Hi thanks but as I mentioned in my post, I don't think this is the file I need. The keylayout will only let you change one of the current keys to behave like another on that particular remote e.g. I can make the home key behave like the back key and vice versa. It won't let me program events like, if I hit Home, do this instead of the system default...
Only one is FTXLaunch to remap home. You have to fiddle with it and restarting a couple times, but it works on 6.2.7.3 I can triple confirm that now.

Try "Button Mapper"
As I mentioned in my post, I can't get Button Mapper to work on Firestick 4K. It doesn't recognize input from the FS4K remote control. If you know how to get it to work, please share. Thanks
Try this one: https://repo.xposed.info/module/xeed.xposed.cbppmod its rather overcomplicated but gets the job done on my ftv4k
@fredsky2 You could remap even those dedicated buttons like Disney,music,prime etc?
I know it's tedious, but I do the following process
①Display of connected devices
adb shell cat /proc/bus/input/devices
In my case, the remote control with the Prime Video and MUSIC buttons showed Vendor=0171 Product=0421
②/system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0171_Product_0421.kl
Edit "Vendor_0171_Product_0421.kl" and change as follows (reference)
Upper left = key 745 APP_2 > key 745 CHANNEL_UP
Lower left = key 746 APP_3 > key 746 CHANNEL_DOWN
Upper right = key 744 APP_1 > key 744 SETTINGS
Lower right = key 747 APP_4 > key 747 RECENTS
③"xposed edge"app and assign each button as you wish.
For apps, some apps do not appear on the xposed edge, so apps that are not installed can be assigned with "remap"app.
You can also change the power button and microphone button.
If you have root Xposed Edge is hands down the best button mapper app.
Xposed edge - Apps on Google Play
This module provides you Gesture control and Key control.
play.google.com
It's easy to use, gives you recents and shortcut overlays, and will allow you map anything you can think of.
