Hello.
I am a new user of free xperia sp C5303 .
I want to make a mod.
I want to change the function of the hardware keys: focus and camera and when pressed to make work as play / pause.
Previously I have made this modification on other android phones without any problem (including a xperia arc).
The way I used was as follows:
You start the route system \usr\keylayout and modify GPIO-KEYS.kl file
In lines where it says FOCUS and CAMERA, change it for HEADSETHOOK and you reboot the phone.
In this way, these keys function as if they were on a button handsfree headphones.
The problem I have is that in the xperia sp I do not get the changes to take effect.
If I change the function of the volume keys it works, but with the camera keys does not work.
Someone could help me?

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 XDA'ers,
I am wondering what the reason behind why the buttons (camera, power, green, red, etc.) in Android on HTC Vogue map to the various tasks they do? For example, the camera button is back, but why not the red button? Is this something hard set in Android and cannot be changed or did someone specifically set it up this way for a reason?
Secondly I am wondering if I create a new "keylayout file" (source.android.com/porting/keymaps_keyboard_input.html) or modify the default one in /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl will I be able to change the mapping of these buttons?
Compared to the Win Mobile mapping, they button layout can take some getting used to,
but once you get used to it, it's actually a very cool layout, especially if you are right handed.
You can hold the phone in your left hand, and use your thumb to access the settings 'top button',
Use your ring-finger to always back-out or end an app
Green button for phone / initiating calls
Red button to end a call, sleep mode, or power off
I wish the d-pad had more use, but I'm always using the stylus, so barely use it.
Would love for the d-pad center key to maybe be the main power-off button.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I completely agree the current layout is a very cool layout indeed, but as I imagine most people on here like to tinker it may be interesting to know how to customize the button bindings.
I am not sure if its just a matter of changing the button layout file.
I looked at that qwerty.kl file in the android.tgz
It looks like its just a mapping file, and if you change the mapping, you change
buttons,
but doesn't that mean you're just re-mapping the button itself?
Not re-mapping its functionality?
I.e., if you remapped the camera button to the d-pad center, for example, then
the d-pad center would do all functions the camera button used to do,
and the camera button would do any functions the d-pad center would?
Seems like you'd actually have to change more code than just the .kl file?
i wrote this application for polaris, and with simple changes you can add the vogue setup...
Hey everyone,
just woundering if there is a way that something like this could be made for our DHD
This was made for the HD2:
http://www.xda-developers.com/windo...0-1-use-your-volume-keys-as-a-camera-trigger/
I believe the app "vignette" has the ability to enable this feature, if you don't mind switching programs.
There is an app called volume key camera
Code:
xxx .androidzoom.com/android_applications/media_and_video/volume-key-camera_pffj.html
but kept getting FC , and have moved to camera 360, in which I can take pict by touching the screen itself
I found the best app for it and have been using it for a while now and very happy with it. It's called "pro capture". Hope this helps if anyone else is looking for one

in Cyanogenmod In the camera app you can use the volume buttons to zoom in and out also to make the search button capture pictures
It's too bad that the DHD doesn't have a camera button.
In fact I would wish to have something that turns the camera app on when pressed and takes a picture on long press for example.
The volume keys are good to some extent but not enough and will never replace the real camera button functionality.
power button idea
wonder if anyone could make power button as camera
I like the idea of using the volumes keys for zoom, that sound cool
I just finished replacing my volume rocker after it simply fell off following normal usage. I personally would not want to suggest doing anything which would make you use the key more. It's quite flimsy. Definitely the weak point in the design.
Hey guys,
do you know if there is an advanced audio control for the Xperia Z1 with bars for system- , telefon- , media - and bluetooth-volume coming up by pressing the volume up or volume down key ?
I know Cyanogenmod has it but I don't want to flash cyanogenmod as long as the camera won't work with it.
There is also an so-called Xperia Z1 Framework ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490425 ) which can enable it but the Framework seam to be for the Xperia SP, not Z1.
Any ideas ?
Thanks for you help !
At the moment, I think your best bet would be something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brianhislop.icsringervolumetrial
Y try several ones and the only one that works for me was the sound profile on playstore

Hello,
I have a Samsung S1 with a broken home button. He's probably become oxidized and wet. He can no longer respond. A hardware-repair should resign because the risk of destroying the display is too big. In another forum I read that one., As a remedy, if one has CM 10.x or CM11 installed, the on-screen buttons may display As for devices without hardware buttons. For this purpose, one would still adjust the build.prop accordingly with respect to the Home button. Now I do not know about with the Build.prop. Can anyone tell me which parameter I must set differently there, so that CM appears under the Home Button?
Thanks in advance,
Dag
You can set a NavBar on CM10/11 by just adding a single line to your build.prop.
