bluetooth keyboard not sending Meta key to apps - General Omni Discussion

i connected my bluetooth keyboard to my device.. and all keys work....
except Meta (command) key... when i press it opens.. Complete action with Nothing/search..... and doesnt send the keyevent to apps...
i checked keyboard scancode and qwerty.kl... there is no action associated with it.. so is the action baked in rom?

Okay.. further testing shows that this happens in other ROMS too.. so I guess this is some default shortcut on Android.... and apps have no acess to this Keyevent .

Is this an Apple BT keyboard?
It's probably an Apple-specific function that Android doesn't recognize.

Its just a normal BT keyboard.. Android recongizes it as Generic.kl
I grabbed the /dev/input/event and it generates proper scan code for the Meta, (windows, command) key ...
In Generic.kl
key 125 META_LEFT
key 126 META_RIGHT
So I checked keycode for it in Android developer site .
which is
KEYCODE_META_LEFT 117
KEYCODE_META_RIGHT 118
And confirmed this is the behavior of this key, but running "input keyevent 117" in root shell with and without the keyboard attached.
Then I tried in my friend's phone... which is running, Jellybean.. and it works there

Anyone can help? Virtual Navigation Key...

As TD_2 lovers knew, there is no navigation key on TD_2 as Diamond do, it is really troublesome for those game players and ex-Diamond users.
I found a virtual navigation key on new model mobile phone of Toshiba T-01A, it is running on WM6.1. It will work on TD_2 also, I think.
Can somebody develop similar soft?

So?
It can't be digested?
I think he means that these navigation keys are ALREADY there in the HTC SIP. You should be able to use them right away.

Thanks for your post.
But I can't find navigation keys in my D2 with HTC SIP yet. (HTC Traditional Key Board for pocket PC Ver. 1.5 (Build 33286). )
Moreover, even if I can find the right version HTC SIP, but I think it works only in some specific screens, such as SMS writting. It will not work in "TODAY" screen, or game play screen.
So, can you send me a CAB file of HTC SIP which can work in all screen.

Swype for Vogue

So I tried to use a 320x480 version of swype on my vogue and it registers the taping of keys, but not the swipes. I'm assuming it's part of the double touch/ ****ty screen on the vogue, but does anyone have a working version? I've heard and seen that it's the new way to text... so yeah any ideas or help would be great
Was working great for me, check the nexus one themes and apps thread for the themed swipe versions. They install and swype just fine.
http://goo.gl/LkM0
I was using a different one posted by jamezelle, but I uninstalled that and used the one scotter posted and that one shows up in the settings, but does not display the keyboard when I go to text... The other one did show up, it just didn't register my swipes:/ I'm using Myns Warm Donut... if that means anything...

Do a hold tap on the text input field, select input method, and choose swype.
Make sure its enabled in your settings.
Those are the steps I took and it worked fine for me.
Yup I just had to hold and change the input. Works great! Thanks.

New Fake Fingerprint unlocker

Just another application for unlocking your phone
Right now this is only a simple application and will not work as a screen locker.
If someone knows how to make your own application as a device locker i would appreciate the help. If Someone wants to continue the development of this application i'm glad to supply the source code for free.
This is my first application for a windows mobile device so i hope you like it.
Here are some images of this simple application:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Instructions on how to use this application:
This program should use a file to read the preferences, however i've had some problems with it, so as default there is a combination.
What is the diference between this application and the other fake fingerprint scanners?
Instead of pressing the screen for a determinate number of scans, you need to guess the combination.
What is a combination?
In this program basically you obtain an combination by pressing then leaving and then pressing again.
Everytime the scan bar hits the top of the "box" one of the counters increments, if you press for the correct amount of scans, then one of the numbers at the bottom will be the result and the next starts to increment.´
You have about two scans of time to press the screen again, else the program will analyse your combination, returning the message:
access denied or by simply leaving the application.
The default value for the combination at this moment is 5-5 meaning 5 scans stop pressing the screen and then 5 more scans.
If you have any questions post them, as will be glad to answer as soon as possible.

This driver installs as a selectable virtual keyboard and it's useful to avoid keyboard popup when you don't want to input data (file display, gaming etc.) or when you are using an external keyboard.
Note: I have some color issues after I used this 'keyboard', therefore I'm switching back to my preferred (FingerKeyboard2) keyboard and then Reset the phone to solve this.
Hope this helps you,

No fullscreen on incoming calls?

When I get a call, I don't get a full screen with the caller. Not even when I answer the call.

Thanks, but I think it has something to do with a broken phone app for me. I don't get a full screen when in click the notification, and also when I just want to open the phone app, it direct force closes with no error message.

It was because I had disabled my stock contacts app.

Oneplus 3 64Gb - Since upgrade to Nougat this phone has been a waste of time, problems with logging in, fingerprint scanner, sending texts and numerous other niggling issues. The biggest pain in the backside is a black screen when theres an incoming call, tried everything including a factory reset, all that achieved was I lost most of my texts! Never again Oneplus, next one is a Samsung or an LG....
Try set your default phone app again.
