is there a way to switch on Bluetooth to discoverable using a shortcut ???
(so i could set it as a softkey)

Yes, search for a program claled BTOnOff (look in raiisak's cab corner).
Hello,
I've a problem with my Diamond, the soft button for controling the volume have change of function. Now the work as scroll wheel.
First of all I think it's an application that change the button affectation. Not the good way.
So I try to lauch the volume manager manualy and it didn't appear.
I don't know if a reg key was the point of interest for this. But haven't found yet where is the problem. If someone have already encounter the problem.
Thanks
Partial Found:
It's S2U2 that change the softkey mapping and if sound control is disabled in this application, it's completly disabled.
If someone can send me what have been change, where and the original value for the Diamond, he'll be the "man of the day"
Thanks you
Hello everyone
1. I am interested in keys remapping and changing some defaults in the 826x but don't know to grab it. Always what I wanted was to wipe out Windows Default Dialer/Phone software and exchange it to the Resco Contact Manager. I don't mean to change "Green Phone Button" but to make dialer (keypad) from this software as default in whole "system". After I had remapped (using AEB Plus) Green key to for example to "Favorites" from Resco CM software, I overridden default (important) action of this key as well - accepting connections. My key was calling Favorites from Resco CM but wasn't accepting connections. Is there any possibility to merge this two interactions into one button? Would be greater to set green button default to "Keypad" panel from this Resco CM.
2. After I have remapped some keys using AEB Plus I've lost this sweet Resco Task Manager (is this correct name?) from 826x ROM. I've tried to restore it by mapping it to the XPanel button, but don't know what to set exactly under this button - which executable? I've tried to use app called uTask Configurator but don't know how to use it correctly
3. What may be the reason of fact that I am not able to Map the keys in mine PocketMusic player? In stock rom I mapped my keys for usage in music player, but now when I try to do it - app (PocketMusic) does not recognizes pressed keys? No info about pressed key is showed.
4. How to set "turning screen off during call" or "blocking phone during call" in the quickest way? I need to set something like that, but don't want to use third party apps like S2U2? Maybe there is any REGISTRY method?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Is there a way to change the default action for when you press the button on the wired headset? I'd love to for instance start a new voice note with Catch or Evernote when pressing the button (if not in a call that is).
I've begun to get into Tasker but it seems a wee bit complicated. If anybody knows a simpler way, please post... Thanks!
Check out "headset button controller" in the market.
Instead of installing an app for this function, could we modify the value in a specific system file ?
Like this one : [MOD]disable Power or Home button screen wake
Hi,
I am having difficulty getting something I would think easy to work on my Nexus for my car install.
I was wondering how people are getting tasker tasks to be triggered off keyboard hotkeys when using either their Joycon or a standard external keyboard.
It seems from research the way to do this used to be quick launch shortcuts (assigning search key + a letter) to an app or shortcut but it seems these do not work for me in android 4.4?
External keyboard helper lets you launch applications from hotkeys, but seems to give no way of launching tasker tasks.
This is really doing my head in! From youtube it looks like others have no issues doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Well, the only thing I can think of right now is to use a Tasker Scene with a focused textbox to detect the keys. You will have to run this scene as a dialog, and deal with all the complications with that... (touch disabled outside of dialog, etc) but here's another idea.
You could use a mobile bluetooth keyboard (or any keyboard that has volume/brightness keys) and have a Tasker profile pick up a change in the ringer volume variable, this would give you 2 or 3 hotkeys (vol up, down, or mute). If you don't have a keyboard like that you could edit the Android keymappings under /system/usr/keylayout/General.kl to incorporate volume changes under some key.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Good idea with detecting the variable changes! I'm using an Arduino Micro which emulates a keyboard so I will have no problem emulating them via buttons & changing the keyboard layout kl if nessesary. Thanks
I am currently working on the same topic: Here is my workaround for trigger a task with an external bluetooth keyboard.
create a task in Tasker
create an app of this task with Tasker App Factory
remap a key of the keyboard to the new app with External Keyboard Helper
Finish
Maybe this is helpful

What are you trying to accomplish?

1. With a bluetooth remote (Satechi BT MediaRemote) i want to switch between the homescreen by pushing a key. (launcher nova and tasker secure settings are necessary)
2. a tasker scenes (dialog) with different options should open by pushing another key. Navigation in the scene should do also with the Bluetooth remote (not yet finish).
The goal is an intuitive handling of the tablet ui in the car with less touch-input on the screen. Something like Audi MMI or BMW idrive.
In my opinion to find icon on the homescreen while driving is difficult.
Here is my current set up.
Nexus 7 (In dash)
Center console mounted volume dial with push to mute (Tablet>dial>amp)
(Not shown in the screencap is that the media widget is also in the Navbar and accessed via a softkey in the navbar)
The console dial was initially a USB 5 button mouse with key remapping but required the amp gain be cranked up which caused issues.
Now for full control you need the following;
(Some of these things can be eliminated with voice controls)
Media Control (Previous, Play/Pause, Next, Playlist, etc.)
Directional controls (Up, Down, Left, Right)
Action Controls (Select, Home, Back, Recent, Menu)
Phone Control (Answer, Hangup, Dialpad)
SMS Control (Full KB or voice to text using a noise canceling mic)
If you skip voice control and you don't count the dialpad or KB, you need 15 buttons or adaptive input based on what app is running but still need at least 5-6 buttons. I am not sure how involved implementation of adaptive input would be as I gave up after days of trying to get it just right.
With the Satechi BT MediaRemote, you can cover most of this by key remapping but have to remember what keys are what. The advantage of proper key remapping is that it removes the need for additional apps to get it to work.
Seeing that I'm not sure how complete of a setup you are trying to get, it's hard to offer anymore advice.
