I've tried both aebuttons and voldpad.....configured the volume up and down to be dpad up and down....pretty basic test...install...soft reset....app loads on bootup....hit the vol up and down and it calls the volume app just like normal......anyone had any luck in remapping it?
Figured it out.
Get this app:
http://code.google.com/p/mylockforandroid/downloads/detail?name=myLock_1.4b_rollback.apk&can=2&q=
Allows you to unlock the phone by single-pressing the power key OR double pressing your volume keys or if you really want options, pressing any volume/power key and then pressing one of the capacitive buttons. Great app.
/edit: this guide is now obsolete because Xposed Additions now has button remapping with some advanced options, which also seem to enable volume wake on my HTC One
If you hate locking and unlocking your HTC One with the Power button, you can change that quite easily int for example Volume Down.
ButtonRemapper would be the easiest method, but it doesn't work with the HTC One. It doesn't load the correct file.
The solution: simply edit the correct file
Code:
keypad_8960.kl
found in
Code:
/system/urs/keylayout/
by hand (I used Fx File Explorer with the paid Root plugin) and reboot your phone. My edited file is attached on this post.
Original:
Code:
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
My current file that switches the Volume Down and Power button:
Code:
key 116 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 114 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
I don't know if the same file is used on different ROMs. I tested this on the P.A.C. Man ROM.
Now waking my One is a breeze! :laugh:
P.S. You may need the following workaround to fix the 'volume wake not working' bug present in some (or all?) JB ROMs, which strangely also affects this tweak (symptom: volume down won't wake phone sometimes).
1. Install Xposed Framework (which you should anyway, it's awesome)
2. Install MoDaCo Toolkit
3. Wait for the annoying ad (Paul, tsk, tsk) and enable the option 'HTC One > Enable Volume Wake'
4. Enable MoDaCo Toolkit in Xposed
5. Reboot
6. Profit ^_^
Is there a way to remap volume keys to change song when double clicked or something?

I'm not sure, but when there is, I think it's not done with this or another .kl file but with a 'ROM tweak', like AOKP settings.
But remapping it that way does it mean if you want to lower the volume you press the power button?

Correct. I'm currently having the issue that my phone won't always wake using the remapped Power button, or only after 4 seconds holding it. I think it's a conflict with my ROM settings though.
While locking the phone with volume down would be nice, it prevents you from turning the volume down/vibrate/off. Which is pretty important.
Although you could alternatively hit Volume Up and then drag the slider via the touchscreen.
BTW I tried this on TrickDroid 4.2.2 and it works.

Actually, the adjustment only swaps the buttons, so the physical Power button acts as Volume Down
I'm still having issues with the adjustment though, has anyone tried it and got it working correctly all the time? I also edited Generic.kl and qwerty.kl, but that didn't help. Pacman ROM 2.9.
Is there any way to use his once you're in the camera . Since we don't have a dedicated camera button it would be great to set up the volume key to take pictures ?

PERMANENT FIX: This problem is caused when the phone enters Deep Sleep mode, the processor stops listening to the .kl files and is pre-programmed to listen on the power button. --On mine, I was completely unable to turn the phone on, I figured out thought that I could turn it on is by holding the power button and the configured volume button at the same time, like a screenshot, hope this helps somebody.-- To permanently fix this download "Wake My Android Pro (free)" from the Play Store, this app is specifically designed to keep your phone in the "Sleep" mode and preventing it from entering the "Deep Sleep" mode. **This does not drain your battery.** Just make sure to set "Low Wake" in the settings, and set the time to 9 seconds and auto-start. Hope this helps some people, those who do not want to fiddle around with Xposed.

This you can do via Tasker. Just create a profile: Event, Variable Set: Volume - Media. This will pick up the volume presses, from there you can restore the volume to what it was (via stored variable) and detect double-presses or gestures between the vol-up and vol-down buttons. I recommend running Javascript to detect that, to be more streamlined. Once detected, use the Media Control action to skip/restart/pause songs in OEM, or if you use Spotify or Pandora, you will have to use a shell "input keyevent 87" Use Root: Yes--87 to skip, swap it with 88 for previous, 85 to play/pause.

This can be achieved with Tasker as well. Use a profile "Application," select Camera, and combine with an Event (by long-pressing profile and "Add...") Variable Set: Volume - Ringer. For the action, select Input>Button>Camera. You must be rooted.
If we combine this button swapping idea with Tasker, we can do a lot of cool things guys. An easy way to pick up an easy button gesture with Tasker is with the power button (which always works from sleep, the volume buttons can only be detected when music is playing). I use Tasker to do a certain action when the power button is double-clicked (Display On>Display Off within, say, 1 or 2 seconds).
Hope all was a help, I am new to XDA (*NOT* a noob!) and actually, this is my first post, so a thumbs up or a "thank you" or whatever you guys call it would be great. Thanks! :good:
I used a nexus device, and the multitaking button was very useful.
So, I want to use multitasking button in galaxy s4, too.
I changed the menu button to the multitaking button by fixing generic.kl.
But it is hard to use without a menu button, so I need more key mapping, and this needs to fix android.policy.jar.
1. I want long press of multitasking button(which was menu button) to bring the menu.
2. I want long press of home button to kill the last app.
3. I want long press of volume button to always skip music tracks. I know there is a way to make long press of volume button skip music tracks when the phone is in sleep mode. But I want long press of volume button to skip music tracks during games, internet, etc.
Plz help me to do it~
My aim is to make the xposed module.
Is it possible to change the home button long press function? The button mapping applications I've tried haven't seemed to stop the google assistant from popping up. In particular id like to set a long press of the home button to play/pause my music.
