Keymap files - editing home-screen-button - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
I need help editing a keymap file to disable the home screen button, or ideally disable it only on a specific HID.
I need to be able to use all buttons on a device, but one is running as a home screen button.
Can someone tell me how to do it, do I need root rights, are there instructions I can read through to get there?
thanks, people

remove key with reg file

I am trying to create a personalized reg file, but I can't figure out how to remove keys from the registry. Anyone know how?
Put "-" sign without quotes before key. I'm not sure if it works on PDA but it works on PC
Thanks, but I already tried that. I am either doing something wrong, or it doesnt work for WM5. Everything else I have tried that works for a normal reg file does work though, its just the removing of keys I am having a problem with. Any other suggestions?
???
Today I tried also, but without success. Yes, "-" sign is not working
No ideas, probably you need search microsoft documentation :?

GWES test

This is an another GWES.
Installation:
1.Install certificate SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.cer
2.Copy GWES2.EXE to \windows\
3.Run registry editor and go to HKLM\init
4.Find parameter with gwes.exe string and change it to gwes2.exe.
5. flush registry
6. do soft reset
inform me what you see and what kind of bugs you have.
NOTE: a lot of programs isn't working, other working incorrectly.
Mouse
if you want to control mouse, run my mouse.exe.
It will show message box without text.
Minimize it. Use direction pad keys to move mouse around screen.
Use action key to left mouse click.
If you want to disable mouse, close message box.
Uninstallation
you can run registry editor and change value in HKLM\init back back to GWES.EXE.
If no, do a hard reset.
Be sure that you have backup - probably, you will need to do a hard reset.
Please test it!
Can you please explain for which devices and OS, is it for?
Thanks
yeah.
you must have point in making gwes,uh, something...
it is so close thing to core, that it may be useless for 99% users.
i am curious, why are you doing this?
Install something (what IS it anyway?) that's likely to need a hard reset? Not gonna happen!

hi THEVK,
please give more infos to users, otherwise i don't think you'll find someone who installs it (with the hardreset risk)
I've tried it on my Atom , but it stucks at the bootscreen
This for WM 5.0 and WM 6.0.

This is based on Microsoft original stuffs, I do it for one project.

Yes I read it. You still haven't said what it is, just that it's "based on Microsoft original stuffs" and that you might need to hard reset your device. If you want people to test your junk for you, you're going to have to provide a LOT more information than that.
i do "hard-reset" every now and then...
i did it again because of this testing gwes...
this is what i had after installing it (see the screenshot below), and i didn't get any "mouse" with the "mouse.exe"...
but the worst of all is that i still have no idea about what it is for....

Tilt2HWKeyboard.cab

Hi all:
Seeking some help regarding the keyboard fix for tilt2. It was working fine for me when I use one of the official EUR 6.5 ROMs. I just flashed to a 6.5 WWE Hong Kong ROM with CHT and the cab is not working. I believe possibly because of the different IME for Chinese or the newer version of the ROM?
Instead of a cab is there some keys I can change/add to registry to fix that problem? It's driving me crazy not able to type properly...
Thanks in advance!!
I eneded up using the hwkeyboard cab to get the right FN and shift key....then I added takrim's keyboard control and reassigned all the keys to the correct place. Here's the XML file you can load to get all the keys...unzip and open keyboard config -> load -> and choose the xml file.
thanks for the xml, im having an issue with my numbers and symbols not working and this one seemed to remap it correctly when i put it into the keyboard config. However, the OK button is the FN button, and the FN button is caps lock, and im not sure what the capslock/shift button does (but it doesn't do anything when i press it)! . Is there a way to swap them in the config? i tried to do it myself but could only find how to create a rule and i dont think thats correct. Thanks!
install Toleraen's Tilt2KWKeyboard cab....for my initial testing it fix the FN and shift key but nothing else...
so now I have both the hwkeyboard cab installed - to fix FN and shift. Then use keyboard config + my XML for the rest.
Give it a try
Again. All the stuff you need.
I have downloaded these three files, but I do not know how to load them into my Tilt2. They don't unzip to .cab files. Could anyone help me with some instructions here?
Thanks in advance
RQDHD2 cab
Iam now using this fix and it worked for me and i can still sync with outlook
When i use HW keybord SIP keybord wil also hide
Works beautifully, thanks!
I got to modify your 'Keyboardconfig.xml" one-by-one as it is not working for mine. This may due to different ROM version. Anyway, attached my copy of .xml file & I'm using WME version of ROM. Hope this help those having same problem.

* key does not work like on Dash/S620

I used to be able to press the * (asterisk) key on my old dash/excalibur phone to toggle full screen in apps such as slingplayer.
But I have noticed that the * key on my new HTC Snap (s522) is not recognized by many apps. On my S522, the asterisk is a "alt+" function, but even if I press the ALT key first, then the "A" key (which has the * on it to), the app wont recognize it.
I also found that when playing doom4ce, when you try to exit by pressing the "Y" key to the Prompt "Exit", it also will not work
Can anyone give me any clues as to how to fix this - such as modifying some keymap file?
If so, what is the name of this keyboard file and where is it located?
Any tips on how to modify it would be greatly appreciated!

What rom are U running? If you are running 3vo custom rom, keymapping is built in just need to enable it (english UK, USA....etc) if you are not. Check the sticky (Rom Dev. Section) you will find a tutorial over there.
I hope that helps
