Hello,
I am using NOVA V8 and flash the huexxx fix
could I use any script to use the G button or the volume button to wake up my phone?
I tried to read the script and tutorial...but i wonder there is no key 95 which correspond to G button. I tried to make a new script for key 95...but it doesn't work at all.
it doesn;t matter to use G button to wake up, but i really want to use other key besides power key to wake up.
sorry for my poor english
In /system/usr/keylayout edit this file: TWL4030_Keypad.kl (I user root explorer, dont forget to backup!) and change this entry (it is in the bottom for me):
key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
It worked for me.

I tried to add this line "key 95", but it doesn't work at all. any other means?

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210341

# Phone will wake up from hitting the volume rocker
ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1

i sorry to tell you that i don;t know how to do so...
Are there any tutorial to change this value?
Besides, I would like to ask whether we can have 2 or more function on one key, such as G button for both camera and power.
THANKS
Thanks

This didn't work for me. I don't get it at all. I updated the key 95 line but still no waking up with g key... Suggestions would be very appreciated. Thx.

Check the permissions of the file,maybe it changed, and check the tabs in the file,maybe the spaces cause some type of conflict
In my opinion, the one shortcoming of the otherwise excellent Droid 4 keyboard is the SYM key. Having an on-screen popup is just plain silly; I really wish they'd added alternate symbols to the letter keys of the keyboard and let us simply press SYM+[key] to produce a symbol. I'm guessing this was deemed to be too confusing and/or ugly, but it would have been a heck of a lot more functional.
The problem is especially apparent in terminal emulator programs. Only Better Terminal Emulator Pro seems to deal with the SYM key appropriately. Terminal IDE, Jack Palevich's emulator (the one which comes standard with most ROMs), and ConnectBot can't deal with it.
The only critical missing symbol characters are:
[ ] { } \ | ~ `
I'd love to assign the curly braces and brackets to SYM+O, P, K, and L. Backslash and pipe would probably go on I and J. And then the tilde and back-single-quote could go on Q and W.
Any suggestions on how I might go about doing this / what level it will need to be done at? E.g., are there keyboard configuration files, or is this going to require a modified kernel?
My only complaint, and it is minor...is:
You used to be able to press ALT + Backspace on previous QWERTY androids and it would clear the entire line of text. I haven't figured out how to do this on the Droid 4. Shift + Backspace doesn't do it.

Yep, likewise with use ALT+arrow keys for home/end (horizontal and vertical). This was extremely useful functionality, I really want it back.
Just received the following from new XDA user "moah909" (who can't post here yet)...wanted to repost it here:
moah909 said:
I was trying to do the exact same thing as you with adding <> etc. I figured out how to do it but because I am a new member I can't post on the dev thread. Follow this guide but remap a62 to ALT_LEFT on the omap-keypad.kl key layout file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936 (I had to download File Expert and use the system remount read write functionality with it because adb remount wasnt working). After doing that I had to go in with File Expert and change the permissions of the omap-keypad.kl (long hold and press permissions) to Owner - Read Write, Group - Read, Other - Read. That should remap the SYM key to the alt key. Next pull the file /system/usr/keychar/omap-keypad.kcm.bin to a computer. Then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504710 to change the keys you want.(I used notepad ++ and changed the stuff in between the nulls to the keys I wanted. You need to change the second and 5th character to the character you want. Then transfer the file back and make the permissions correct and restart! Hopefully this wasn't too unclear, I was in a rush to write it, Ill be making a better guide with pictures etc later, and ill post it in the General Forum. If you post this id like it if you noted me

It would be awesome to enable some keyboard hacks on the Droid 4. So is the hack to change the "sym" to the "alt" key working for people? Has anybody found any references for physical keyboard hacks on other forums that might work for our Droid 4?
Check out the eclipse rom thread. Xredjokerx remapped the sym key on there for better functionality. I don't know if the remap will work outside the rom but I don't see why not.

Ok. I found it. If you click on the "paperclip" symbol of that thread, it will show as "xrjxMod.zip". I think the Mod also deletes Quickoffice apk and installs Wifi Tether. There should be no reason for this to not work on stock ROM, meaning not-deodexed, right? Or does it modify SystemUI or Frameworks in any way?
it doesn't touch the system framework.
it installs latest wifi tether
deletes quickoffice
replaces omap-keypad.kcm.bin in /system/usr/keychars and omap-keypad.kl in keylayout
sets correct permissions
Remapped SYM -> ALT_LEFT
ALT + O = {
ALT + P = }
ALT + K = [
ALT + L = ]
ALT + N = <
ALT + M = >
ALT + / = \
ALT + I = |
ALT + Q = ~
Please use it and let me know, I can also adjust it so that it is only the keyboard mod if people want it

Thank you. Is the "keys.rar" folder that is posted under "eclipse ROM" the one that gets it back to stock?
So this works well and I really like it. Any chance we can map a button to make it a control key
PREVENT - ALLOW GALAXY NOTE HOME KEY FROM ACCIDENTALLY WAKE UP DEVICE:
Some people complained about the Home keys of Galaxy Note sometime is touched and turned on accidentally when taking it in-out of the pocket.
After studying some articles on-line for Droid X phone (not same as the Galaxy Note), I digged around in the directory system/usr/ keylayout. Finally, I have found a way to do it. I can disable the HOME key from wake up the phone in off-screen state, but still let it to move from apps drawer to standby screen as usual. And I think it works!!
- Goal: Modify 2 file related to wake up function of the Home key (code 102).
- How to:
+ Using Root Explorer go to the folder: system/usr/keylayout, set permission to Mount R/W;
+ Click to select the 2 files: gpio-key.kl and sec_key.kl to modify them. When the menu appears, select: Text Editor to modify the files.
+ Move to the line: "key 102 HOME WAKE" in the 2 files above and put the cursor on the position of "WAKE" to erase the word "WAKE".
+ Press Menu hard button, select Save Changes, the phone will save the backup file and save the current files.
+ Set permission to Mount R/O for the folder: system/usr/ keylayout.
+ Shut down and then restart, Ahh, it worked!
Note: If you want to use Home key to wake up Galaxy Note again, go to delete two above modified files and rename the two backup files to gpio-key.kl and sec_key.
For people don't want to do it manually, I make the 2 flashable files for Allow and Disallow the Home key for Note and tested for working, at least on my Galaxy Note.
The 2 flashable files to do that is attached below. Copy to SDCard/ExternalCard and flash them in CWM Recovery, then reboot:
works for me. thx.

does somebody know whitch file(s) to edit for this to work in Jelly Bean or Cyanogenmod 10.1.
I'm on asylum 4.2.2.this is a cyanogen 10.1 mod , like slim bean .
It looks like we need to change more/other files for this to work , wile when i canche the here adviced ones , nothing seems to change ,, the volume buttens still behave the same.
/system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl is changed to..
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 POWER WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 232 DPAD_CENTER
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA WAKE
look at line 115 and 114 this would change te volume button function in the power funtion , i suspect , AM I RIGHT ????
in fact this does not change the behavior of the volume buttons at all it still changes te volume , btw i did restart after changing te sec_key.kl file
please advice manny thanks in advance

Just tried, and yes it does work on the s4. We only have the one file though, gpio-key.kl. Same location though. Find the line that says home, and delete the word wake. Save changes and reboot, job done!
This guide is for the Samsung Tab S 8.4 and should work on all variants.
Keylayout edits:
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Change key 254 from APP_SWITCH to MENU
key 254 MENU
Then reboot the Tab to take effect.
To regain recent apps I use Nova Launcher, Gestures and Buttons and program my second menu key push to recent apps.
As soon as we have a custom recovery I will have a mod to program long press menu to recent apps.
Thanks tdumham for your help.
Enjoy!!!

I noticed with the last firmware update a LONG press on recents will bring up the Menu.

Nexus 5 via Tapatalk
Now that there's twrp is there a zip for this yet?
Sorry for reviving an old thread but this helped me immensely and is a much better solution than the stock behavior but does anyone know what can be changed so that I can put the Recents on the Menu key via a long press? Right now long press brings up Search which I have no use for. With the solution above I can access app options like I want to but bring up recents requires a trip back to the Home screen to take advantage of Nova Launcher's gestures.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can assist or point me to a thread with the answer. The search brought me to this thread to begin with.

It's a kernel feature. So your out of luck.
Also you might want to post in his thread as that rom is not here
