[Q] Change recent app to original button - HTC Desire C

I installed the Volume key long press media control from einstein.frat and noticed that i cannot view my recent app. Someone mentioned a solution which is, Go to /system/usr/keylayouts and find this file synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl .Open it in text editor and file this line key 249 MENU . Change MENU to APP_SWITCH .Then save and reboot.
However when i tried to save the changes to the text file it says:
'Can't write file:/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl open failed:EACCES (Permission denied)'.
The permission for the text file is rw-r--r--. Im running the Nameless ROM v7.2 Build 5.

On xplore or es file go to settings then mount as root, then you could modify files.

Recent apps is long press home key on nameless, if you want to change it, use nikhil's AROMA Customiser. hope I helped!

I like the change in Nameless because I used to accidentally touch the recent app from time to time. Now I only load it when I really need it.

Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Input -> Long-press home settings
uncheck "Show recent apps title"
check "Use custom Application"
Select "Custom Application" -> Application and choose Task manager.
And that's it, now you can run Task manager by long-pressing home button.
thanks
I'd already passed the port from RC5.5 by squadzone

Well even better we can assign long press menu key as shortcut for task manager..
And if you are having problem assigning permissions in root explorer just set it as rw-r-r. You can also see the permissions of other apps. there and set according to it.
Here's the root explorer app.
I would recommend you to buy this app(one of the apps that are worth buying) and support the dev.

For your own safety: make a nandroid backup, then proceed!
Get ROM toolbox (pro or lite) from the market and use the built-in build.prop Editor on the second tab.
Add the following line at the end
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save, exit and reboot.
***
You can use a root capable file explorer which should then set the correct permissions as well. 644 / rw- r-- r--
***
Be sure of typing it correctly as you will end up in a bootloop and will have to flash the ROM again, if there are typos!

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
restart your phone.

I will try this out tomorrow, but I found out how to disable the physical buttons in cyanogenmod 10.1, it's really east, you can just disable them in the phone settings. the only problem is that they will still light up when you're touching the screen, does somebody know how to disable that?

to disable the button remap they!
Use "button remapper" (search it on google cause isn't on play store) and assign "focus" to home, back and menu buttons.
The app is simple to use and the values to change are last in the list.
focus work only when you are on camera app.

How To Make a Notification Pulldown Background ON YOUR PHONE...
1. Apps I use: Root Explorer Photo Editor Ultimate (Free can do most of the modification. But I recommend using the Paid Version because it also has more options like Transparency and other useful tools.)
2. Download a Large JPEG or PNG picture/background you want to use. Save it onto your sdcard. 3. I personally use a BLANK Black background set to slightly larger than our screen size. This will be in the downloads below. This will be used to OVERLAY your picture to it.
4. Now open Root Explorer to where the BLANK Black background is located. Now choose to open it with Photo Editor Ultimate (free or paid)
5. Now when the Menu comes up Choose: Combine, Overlay, Browse, and navigate to SDCARD, navigate to where you saved the BACKGROUND PIC you want to use and choose it.
6. Move the pic around until you have it positioned where you want it. I move it close to where I am going to crop the picture at. Hit Close. Hit Yes.
7. Choose Resize/Crop
8. Choose Crop
9.Touch on the screen close to where you want to crop the pictures together. (THIS IS A LEARNING CURVE TO GET IT RIGHT.) You WANT to crop it so you can draw a rectangle that leaves SOME of the BLACK BACKGROUND at the top.
10. Now hit the button on the top to draw the rectangle.
11. Click the Top Button to CROP
12. If you like the crop choose CLICK TO CLOSE
13. At CHOICE hit Yes.
14. Now Choose RESIZE /CROP and THIS TIME choose RESIZE
15. Hit the SETTINGS button
16. Now choose FIT SCREEN SIZE
17. It should be CLOSE to 720x1280 for our phones but slightly More/LESS height will still work. (Again a learning curve with practice...)
18. Hit the back button and choose YES
19. Now choose PREVIEW to see how it looks full screen. I start to pull down my notification bar to see where the NEW pic is going to line up.
20. If it looks like it will be at one of the Notification pulldown bars and looks good then your golden.
21. Hit the back button again and choose YES.
22. Now choose SAVE, OVERWRITE OPENED IMAGE, Hit Yes, Hit OKAY
23. Hit the back button and choose YES TO CLOSE.
24.Now it will go back to where the Blank Background was located in Root Explorer. Hit the menu button and choose refresh. Now you will see the newly made back.PNG of your background YOU created.
25. With Root Explorer go to where you downloaded the CWM FLASHABLE ZIP FILE. Long press on it and choose EXTRACT ALL. Now choose GO TO EXTRACTED.
26. Navigate in root explorer to where you have your NEW background back.png file. Now LONG PRESS on the back.PNG and choose COPY. Now navigate to where the extracted CWM FLASHABLE ZIP is located.
27. Now navigate to the CWM ZIP FILE (also on the downloads section in this post). And PASTE (CHOOSE OVERWRITE IF NEEDED). Navigate by clicking like so: CWM-FLASHABLE-ZIP, MORPH, SYSTEM, APP, SYSTEMUI.apk, RES, DRAWABLE-XHDPI, and PASTE
28. Now I use 3 different file names so these morphs can be used on different ROMs. So next I use root explorer and copy and paste the back.PNG 3 times by long pressing and choose copy, then hit paste. Now I name the three .png files: back.png, notification_panel.png, and pulldown.png
29. Hit the back button until you back at the extracted CWM-FLASHABLE-ZIP and LONG PRESS and choose ZIP THIS FILE
30. When it is done Choose GO TO ZIP and move it to your SDCARD.
31. NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLASH THE NOTIFICATION BACKGROUND MOD YOU CREATED IN CWM RECOVERY... HURRAY FOR YOU... YOU JUST LEARNED SOMETHING I HOPE...

Disable HTC M7 capacitive buttons?

Hey guys, is there any easy way to disable the M7s capacitive buttons? As I'm using the onscreen keys. P.S I'm using ViperOne 6.1.0.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
So you want to completely disable all function of capacitive buttons?
If so, using a file explorer (I recommend ES File Explorer), navigate to /system/usr/keylayout and find two files named "himax-touchscreen.kl" and "snyaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl"
open up those files as text and put a hash symbol (#) to every line of those files
Example, in himax-touchscreen.kl, it should look like this in the end:
Code:
#key 102 HOME
#key 158 BACK
Save it and do the same for the other file. Reboot and the capacitive buttons should stop functioning now. If you want to get the capacitive buttons back, just remove the # symbols on those files and reboot
Hey, I tried to do this method but, it just wouldn't save and also I couldn't find the himax file, I have enabled show hidden files, help would be appreciated
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Did you mount system?
Enable root mode in ES File Explorer and mount system first, then do the edits
EDIT: What ROM are you on? If you can't find himax-touchscreen, skip that and just do the synaptics one and report back if it worked
Also, is that what your snyaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl shows by default? It looks like you just copied and pasted the stuff I written before If so, you don't need to copy/paste, just add the "#" symbol in front of every line
It worked thanks for the help

Are the onscreen buttons a feature of ViperOne? Do they work well?
Edit: Nevermind, I answered my own question by trying it out myself.

running google play edition. the only file that exists is snyaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl and commenting out the two keys does the trick.
thanks!
