I just finished installing PTTFix on my 8525 and I love it. (Thanks Sleuth255!!).
My question is this: is it possible to re-map the other 4 buttons to also add a hold function for them? i.e. When can add extra functions for holding the IE button, or the Messaging Button, or even the camera button.
If there's a registry hack for this or some way to do it please help me out, I've done numerous searches to no avail.
Thanks in Advance to anyone who can help.

it seems the reg hack can't do that for you. i've asked a similar question in a different thread and i was recommended using software such as AEButtonPlus or Vito Button Mapper. give it a try if you are interested.

Thanks, I tried Vito Button Mapper and this was exactly what I was looking for. The only bug was it changed and disabled my soft key functions in the today screen, but a simple settings change and soft reset was a quick fix.

When you go to Setting/Buttons to change your button functions, the configuration will be for default, from that drop down menu where you see "*<Default>, you need to select *<Today> and then it gives you the option to change your soft keys either back to original settings or whatever you want. The default setting seems to be <none> so thats why my soft keys did not even work before I changed them. I read about this in another thread and I was able to fix the problem.
As for the record function, I couldn't find any solution for that but I did encounter the same problem with it opening up notes.

8525 Ok button
Does the Vito ButtonMapper allow the changing of the "ok" button on the front of the 8525. I know the side "ok" button is supported, I am looking for the front ok above the End Call Button.
Okay, I can see that I can assign long-press Send and End keys, but I want to assign a function to the Back key (short press) - can it be done?
since i come from trinity - which had the scrolling wheel - I'd like to replace the volume buttons with "almost equivalent" functionality....possible at all? don't know...
I'm not sure that Volume slider has been mappable on any of these devices. Previously I used SPB PocketPlus to map buttons, but on the HD the poplists in the setup don't work so I can't try it...
I am currently using AEBPlus to assign the buttons.I was able to map volume up, volume down and ok buttons to various functions.But unfortunately I am unable to map the HOme button.Can anyone let me know how to assign some functions for HOme button using AEBPlus please?
regards

Brilliant! AE Button Plus works perfectly, OK=Back. I love this site...

You don't need to ask the same question wherever you go and also create a thread for that!
ok
i see what you mean. I just figured it might not get read if here at the end of an older thread... hehe you mods notice everything ;-)
Can someone tell me if AEBPlus could reassign the phone on and off buttons too? I would like to use these buttons for other purposes and just use the screen to operate the phone, if possible.

Could you explain how to configure to apply to on off button.
Aside from that, does someone know how to get "long" working?
It tried to give the "Back arrow" additional functions.
1,2,3 times work fine, but long does not.
Also what is the default action of "Back arrow"
I do not find it on the list? Which number
So I could configure 1 times with default action
and 2 and 3 with something else.
Home button on AE plus
Has anyone found the home button "name" in AU Button plus yet?
This thread mentioned the name for the "back"-button is "OK" in AE button plus and that does work. (except foor the long press option, that I could not get to work, but double tap works fine)

pzucchel, I'm with you! I've realised that I actually used the scroll wheel on the Trinity much more than the D-pad, so AE buttons is a godsend!
I've got volume up/down to become arrow up/down, but how about the Trinity press-to-select on the scroll wheel? I can't get the long press on the vol buttons to work otherwise it'd be perfect...
What version of AEBPlus are you using?
I installed AEBPlus 2.6.3 to enable turning the screen while pressing the volume up button.
This version is a 14 day trail version, there is however a freeware 1.0.1 version but that one is not officialy supporting the Blackstone.
Which version are you using? I find $14 a lot for changing the behaviour of one key...
AEButton will NOT stop working after 14 days, and all the functions you really want will still be there
What is the difference between trial and registered version?
Two things only:
1. Splash screen appears during device starting up.
2. "Action list" is blocked in trial mode

Good to know! Didn't see that when reading the website...
Anyway - is there an easy trick to assign the "volume up" pressed for >1 sec to rotating the screen to landscape (270 deg) and portrait?
/me is thinking of a registry tweak...
I just got a Touch HD and installed AE Button Plus and it works great for assigning different tasks for the button below the screen.
However I have not been able to find a which button in AE Button (if any) that corresponds to the Home button. Has anyone else here been able to assign any tasks to double-clicking the Home button?

OK, I can see that you want to push your own solution but as far as I can see it does not support the Home button either. Also it supports a lot fewer actions than AE Button Plus does.
Hi.
I really miss the search button from the Desire device. I have tried to remap the send (dial) button to search by altering the bravo-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout. But the change didn't work. My altered keypad file is posted below, maybe someone can tell me why it's not working?
SOLUTION: Edit the right file. In my build the default qwerty.kl file was used not the bravo-keypad.kl. Adding SEARCH to key 231 and 61 turns the send key into a search key Even voice search by long press works
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 231 SEARCH
key 61 SEARCH

just revert what you changed back to how it was.
then hold down the start button (Windows Logo) and the keyboard will pop up, once you start typing it will go into the search app.

This is exactly what I have done, remapped the physical send button (left most button on the HD2) to behave like a search button. HTC Desire does not have a send button either, and I don't miss it. I find it more usefully to have a search button then a send (call) button.

Try remapping a button to DPAD_CENTER and see if it works for the trackball in camcorder.

All files related to key mappings are located in /system/usr/keylayout . The qwerty.kl is the one that android is defaulting to if not specified otherwise. There may be some other kl files in the folder, but the vendor specific file is just "left overs" from the ROM rip (in some cases).

Mapping End Key
Has anyone mapped the end call button to work. On my Darkstone build I have to hit the end call on screen, hitting the red hard key just shuts the screen off (very annoying). I then have to wake up the phone and end the call.
I pulled both bravo_keypad and qwerty files but both seem to be set to the right end key.
Any ideas or help?

theres an options in the settings menu to do this, i just cant find it. I used to have it set correctly, but changing roms every few days, you start to get confused. I would appreciate it if someone could point us in the right direction.
Thank you.
Thanks for this useful tip that works perfectly !

Now i just need help with chaning the volume buttons to the camera buttons.
I changed:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
To:
key 115 CAMERA WAKE
key 114 CAMERA WAKE
Upon press it starts the camera app, but will not take a photo. However when i switch to the camcorder function, that works just fine.
Ideas?
ps: i just use a widget to control my volume, which is very rare for me.

Out of the box, the gyro mouse works great in fire tv with safa luncher. menu button and all drictional button, keyboard works great. but Home button and back button does not work.
for some reason home and back button does not show any number in fire tv key scan app.
Anyway, I liked the gyro mouse so much I made a fix for it and like to share with you. Good thing of this remote is you can disable mouse operation any time by pressing a key or flipping the keyboard side up.
I remap the home button to vol- button and back button to vol+ button. Now everything works fine. But still have Play/Pause, FF, RW button missing but I can live with that.
Play pause can be done on the keyboard side by spacebar.
This remote also works in recovery mode too.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/otb7dp1y0yl9etb/Vendor_24a7_Product_2402.kl?dl=0
to remap it please copy the attached .kl file to the /system/usr/keylayout folder.
Do not rename this file.
for copy procedure follow this link
http://www.aftvnews.com/fix-ps4-dualshock-4-button-mapping-on-the-fire-tv/
I basically used the Generic.kl file and did some modification for these two button.
let me know if you have any issue.
Where is the file? and what do I search for on eBay to see this?

Hey guys,
So I used ZUI 2.3 for a bit and using DEVELOPER MODE you can enable the hardware keys to be used. But the left hardware key which was used as RECENT APPS key in the COS/CM/AOSP is used as MENU which is really not useful to me. Does anybody have an idea as to how to change the hardware key binding? I heard there is a file in which values can be changed once you have rooted the phone. I wish to know the details.

But all I could do was reassign to HOME button in the UTOUCH settings of ZUI. I want the solution for ZUI 2.3.
I am going to try this: (Button Remapper No Root)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper&hl=en
EDIT:
Tried the app. RECENT working perfectly on the left hardware button. HOME soft touch to actually working like HOME isn't working flawlessly. But will do. So people who want the capacitive buttons like COS on the ZUI 2.3 should install that app and configure it like that. I am still looking for a better solution. Cheers!

Two files specifically generic.kl and fpc1020tp.kl located in system /usr/keylayout are needed to be edited.
With the help of any root browser, simply open the generic.kl with a text editor and scroll to the 'key 158' and change the attribute from default 'BACK' TO 'HOME'. Similarly, open the fpc1020tp.kl and do the same modification.
Save both files and reboot to notice the change.
