This should go to the dev forum, but don't have privileges to post there, so writing here.
I'm messing with the /system/usr/keylayout/* and /system/usr/keychars/* files in order to remap the keyboard to a Dvorak layout.
Can anyone help me with the following:
I want to also remap the OK, Mic, Search keys. Where are these defined in the keylaut file, on the Droid 3 it's the umts_solana-keypad.xl, or alternatively in the keychars file?
There are two entries for SEARCH in the keylayout file, so the search key is one of those probably.
I can't however find anything resembling OK or the Mic.
Could anyone help?

Hello everyone
I have installed one of the Touch Roms and currenty trying to fix the registry entries so that all Icons in Settings/Buttons will show up properly. The functions are working fine (Messanging, VoiceCmd, etc), but some buttons don't have icons and are not named properly. I found the area in the registry where the corrections are done, but I can't seem to figure out what the proper values are. Can anyone with stock ROM lock in the path below and tell me what the values are? I will create a small guide for everyone's benefit!
What I am looking for is all Reg values for all 7 or whatever number of buttons you have programed (40C1, 40C2, etc and values inside like Default, Icon, Name, etc). Feel free to ask questions and I will tell you exactly what I need. Thanks.
Registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
I seen that no one as the stock rom on there wing and is unable to provide the keys so I went ahead and installed it back and exported the keys you needed ........................................ looking forward to the solution for the button issues

Thanks man! This was very helpful!
I will work on a little guide and post it in this post!
Ok my guess is that there is no registry for PTT to work. Does anyone know what I have to add in the registry to make PTT work. I still get the PTT alerts and hear when people try to contact me but when I hit the PTT button on my Tilt the damn Task Manager comes up. I can't change the program it opens in buttons because the PTT option is not on the list. So i believe the registry is not there. Please help I'm paying for something I can't use and I really need this feature. Hope some of you tech guys could assist me. Will donate if it works.
I'm not having that problem but I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to alter the push to talk button. I would like to set it up to be used for something else.

Which ROM. A lot of cooks disable the PTT button and reassign it. Please search the forum... this topic has been covered.
No it hasn't been covered actually. I manually search through so many pages, used the search feature and to no avail. I know their are ROM's with the PTT built in to the ROM but I love Schaps Rom and don't want to switch to lets say Dutty's. No Offense. I still hear when my buddies PTT me but I can't respond because the PTT button is mapped to Task Manager. If I try and change the mapping I don't have a Push to Talk Option. I think something needs to be added in the registry and if I knew I'd not be doing this right now. Based on my topic and the amount of views It looks like no one seems to know the answer. How about this, if you can find the "topic" I will Paypal you 20 dollars. Deal?
and KB cherry there is a thread with some CAB file downloads. Theres a cab so you can remap the PTT button for whatever funtion you want. If you can't find it provide me your email address and i'll attach the CAB file so you can just drag it to your desktop. send your email addy on a private message.
If it's there as you say & it's jus Registry related take a look at my old Reg dump text. It's a .txt, so you can use the "find" feature for "PTT".
i appreciate your help man with the link of the REG dump file. And for the last person who said it was already covered while you're looking for that post to prove me wrong slap yourself in the back of the neck for being ignorant and providing no help whatsoever. Waste of a post
Ok i'm looking at the Registry Log and I'm using Schaps 4.31 with the built in registry editor. I cannot add a new key because there is no option to do so. I only have the option to Open Path, Copy Path, View, Refresh,About and Exit. Should I be using another registry editor
Yeah the registry editor is schaps 4.31 will not let you add keys. I just download FHM reg editor and it works fine. Still working on the PTT fix. When I get the fix i'll post it on the forum. A cab file would be nice to have.
Hope this is the proper forum. I am posting here because the thread that interests me was posted here.
AT&T Tilt
Found a thread referencing a way to remap keys on WM phones. Only way I can describe it is a reference to Log_Send.lnk, Long_PTT.lnk and similar modifications(?).
To date, I have ben unable toget any modifications to work except the Long_Send.lnk file attached to the thread. Probably because I have no idea what I am doing. My confusion starts with the quote below within the thread.
>>What I did was find the shortcuts that I want to use for the send and end >>button. Copy those shortcuts and rename them to the above names.
It seems apparent I do not know how to find 'shortcuts' I want to use. If, for example, I want to map Calendar to Long_End.lnk, how do I find the shortcut?
If, for example, I want to map Wireless Manager to Long_End.lnk, how do I find the shortcut? (Yes, I realize I have used 'Long_end' twice.)
If there is an easier/newer way, I am open to suggestions.
There are many easier ways than the one you listed. You can get Schap's Advance Config to map the buttons or even any button mapping utility such as AE Button Plus.
I downloaded a hex editor and a rom and loaded the rom onto the hex editor.
But that kind of stuff is far above me.
I'm trying to edit the keyboard mapping, i need to switch some keys around.
I have the tilt, i would really like someone experienced to help me with this because my keyboard is basically useless right now, and ill have to buy a new phone if i cant fix it.
is there not a cab file to change from the tilt to the keyboard mapping you require?
The answer is...(drum roll please)..YES!
use the forum search option for "tilt keyboard fix" and you will be pleasantly surprised.
plz remember that unlike your girlfriend search will always be there for you. ;-)

lol i know theres that fix i just wasnt sure if it was tilt to kaiser one he required lol
no its not the keyboard fix i know about that. My issue is unique, i need to remap some of my letters. I'm fairly certain the issue involves modifiying a rom, it doesn't matter which, and to do this i would have to use a hex editor.

what keys do you need to remap and maybe someone will know a fix.
ok my k,n, i m, and period keys are unresponsive. this is a hardware issue, ill explain further if u want. this makes the keyboard quite useless without these keys functioning.
I never use my arrow keys so I would like to map each faulty letter key (K,n,i,n,.) to a corresponding arrow, and maybe the "ok" or "tab" button.
basically when i press left arrow, the letter p would pop up...etc
i would be truly gratified if u guys helped me fix this, because ill get a cheap unbreakable phone if the tilt wont fully work. Its been really frustrating,
how old is your kaiser?
do you have a warranty on it still?
could be easier to have it replaced.
well thats where i mentioned i could go into depth further. I cracked my screen, and replaced it myself. In the process I accidently nicked the side of the ribbon wire connecting the keyboard to the main unit. This resulted in those 5 keys becoming unresponsive.
I got the phone about 6 months ago, but the warranty was voided when i took the phone apart to replace the screen.
AE Button Mapper use google..... "Not AE Button Plus"
ok i downloaded it and got it installed but i have no clue how to use it.
theres some buttons to reassign keys however u have to press the key you want to reassign and that it not possible being that those keys are disconnected.
ok little update, i think the AEK program will work, however the first step is it has to create a chart by logging all the keys. You have to press all the keys individually and it logs them with a four digit number. For example pressing the letter "d" logs key 0044. Once all the keys are logged you can type them up in a text document and mix and match accordingly.
My obstacle is that i cannot press my keys that are unresponsive, for them to be logged. I tried to find a pattern by pressing keys around these and saw nothing that made any sense.
I'm not sure if the numerical values attached are standard for every application in the phone, or specific to the AEK program. I can't find a thread, that would list the value for those letters i can't press.
Does anyone know if there is a chart with all the values assigned to each key of the tilt?
Snowman, give me a link to this AEK program and I'll use it to log all my keys on my tilt, then perhaps we can compare them to what you have and hopefully get the missing codes for you
Moved to General.
Hex Editing a ROM file won't get what you need. I've seen people trying to patch the keyboard driver for this, but no success. Sorry, couldn't be more help .

any help ???
you'll probably have to remap a key for this!
Check AEButtons+... No CTRL Key can be made available, though.
i'm using X1 Button Mapper and Mortscript. it's a small app and it works great.
