I made a write-up on the Wing's hidden shortcut keys.
A few weeks ago while I was typing up my on-site notes at work, on my T-Mobile Wing the device threw me a tilde (~). This confused me because this device doesn't have a tilde key and I wasn't working in the symbol keypad. About two weeks later I was able to get the device to type another symbol that isn't shown on the keyboard, thankfully I was texting and not at work, so after a few minutes of experimenting I was able to chart all of the alternate keys that are available on the Wing.
So what is the T-Mobile Wing? The Wing is a Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphone that has a sliding keyboard, WIFI, bluetooth, and Microsoft Voice command built in. Voice command lets you perform certain tasks by voice without a training session like most phones with voice control require. Price was $299 at launch.
Chart of alt keys and instructions after the jump.
Pressing the alt key on the left of the chart (shown in blue on the keypad) while still holding alt and then pressing the space bar will give you the symbol on the right of the chart, pressing space multiple times while still holding alt will give you the other symbols on the chart. The number keys and the other keys not listed don't respond to this function.

Obviously a few of these keys just duplicate existing functionality, but some of them are very useful and if you use some of these symbols regularly they can save you loads of time using alternate methods to get these symbols.
I am a manual reader and didn't see this information listed in the manual. (I just double checked to be sure). This information is not in the manual.
Pressing alt tab brings up a useful symbol panel. This symbol panel is similar to the charmap function of a windows computer, and contains several pages of symbols that you can insert into your text.
Update:
Thanks to blackout203 @ XDA Developers, while they were trying this out they found out about the multiple keypresses.
actually this is a nice find but I just found something from learning yours
if you press the space key more than once, you can get even more symbols! try it out
i got << and >> on the " key
Thanks, I've updated the article and the posting.
btw - on wizard devices you could choose the ranking of the symbols by editing the sym.txt. DOn´t even know if herald alos has a sym.txt. But perhaps someone could give it a try.
lol
sym.0409.txt
yes, the "sym" file is present in herald too. the name of the file is "sym.0409.txt" for WWE version (T-Mobile Wing)
Nice, but I want the space character when entering numbers
So that explains why when I am entering phone numbers and addresses and I want to put in spaces, the space key doesn't work! I've found this incredibly frustrating because i have to double-press the ALT key to get in in ALT mode, type a bunch of numbers, press the ALT key to get out of ALT mode, press the space bar, double-press the ALT key to get back into ALT mode, then continue on with the numbers.
Do you know if there is a way to get the space key to put in a space while in ALT mode??
i found the sym.tct file on my herald in the folder /windows.
However i can't edit it since the file is located in the ROM memory.
how can I change the properties of the file such that I can edit it?
I already tried setting the permissions through total commander, but that doesn;t work I can't remove the read-only setting

Anyone got this working on the Diamond. Working fine on my old SE W850 - dont know where to start with the Diamond
I'd like this too.
Can only think about doing it via web browser
I use the k800 version and remaP my left and right hardkeys to act as softkeys but the text is tiny!
How do you download the K800 version of Sky Remote?
Sky doesn't let you chose a particular phone during online setup.
Sky By Mobile Java App
Here's the Java app download.
http://mobile.sky.com/SBM/SonyE_novid/SkyMobile_SonyWithoutTv.jar
All I got to do now is try to remap hardkeys!
Got AE Button Plus, but a bit scared of all it can do.
Can Ericsson68 tell us how he remapped hard keys?
Is running TF3D, cos that seems to overwrite hard key functions when run?
Just got round to trying this.
How do i run the file as .jar files are not assosiated with any apprication?
Put .jar file on Diamond first using activesync.
Then run Jblend first and install and run java apps or .jar files from there.
I still can't get it to logon yet.

Have you looked at
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=35
I know that people have had problems. You might find the answer there.
Hi
I used AE button and then remapped the left and right ring keys to long presses = left and right soft keys. I never do long presses on the left and right ring keys so this made sense to me.
Prepare to need a magnifying glass when you do get logged in though. And from experience put your password in before the user name. For some reason doing it the other way around often crashes it.
Ok! Got application working - am able to enter password and user name.
Have tried remaping keys, but dont understand how or why. Could you go through it step by step.
Have a copy of AE Button Plus installed.
Thanks
Another jar file
This one allows the soft keys to work but doesn't actually manage to login for me.
I attach the file for you to try.
Solution!
trice1921 and colthekid worked this solution out at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507152 for the Touch HD / Blackstone. It works for the Diamond as well. I'll copy the solution here and hope the mods don't mind.
The java file is here http://mobile.sky.com/SBM/SonyE_novid/SkyMobile_SonyWithoutTv.jar
The HasKeyboard reg key is important and you will need to disable the volume control in S2U2 if you use it. Enjoy!
Firstly, follow the instructions in the original article posted by gears ie. register on the web for sky mobile and download and install the java software and SkyMobile_SonyWithoutTv.jar file.
Also register for "Remote Record" via your Sky+ box (instructions on the Sky.com website)
Next, as the HD does not have a hardware keyboard, we need to "spoof" the OS into thinking the HD does have one. This is done in one key in the
registry (which I found completely by accident while looking for a different one!).
Goto... "HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Shell" and change the value of "HasKeyboard" to 1
Soft Reset the phone.
We will then need to map some of the buttons to give us up/down/left/right, Enter and Left/Right Soft keys. As NickMilner suggests above, i use "AE Button Plus" and my mapping instructions assume that's what you will use. (the program does cost but i don't know of any other one that provides double, triple and long press options for each key and appears to work well enough in free/trial mode anyway!)
Map the following in AE Button Plus
Volume Up button: Single press - Volume Up
Double press - Press Up Arrow
Triple press - Press Left Arrow
Long press - Press Left Soft Key
Volume Down Button: Single press - Volume Down
Double press - Press Down Arrow
Triple press - Press Right Arrow
Long press - Press Right Soft Key
Green Phone Button: Single Press - Press Green Button
Double Press - Press Enter
I would have liked to use the Red Phone button, but whatever selection i made, the red button always acted as an "Exit" button in the java app, so I went with the above. It's a bit complicated I know with all those double and triple presses, but IT WORKS and i've soon got used to it. I'm sure you could chose your own combination of presses, but the above ones work.
Well, there you go, see if it works for you (I Bl**dy hope so...this has taken me ages to write!!)

I'd like to hold down any front button instead of sliding my phone or pressing the power button to resume from standby. Is this possible?
Thank you.
Many ways.
1. Copy this poweroff.exe (found in this thread)to your device and paste a shortcut somewhere inside \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder, then you can map it in a hardware button by going to \Start\Settings\Personal\Button\.
2. HButton is another highly recommended tool, bcz it can map unlimited number of apps on any remapable button.
3. QuickMenu may also provide some useful tools/shortcuts.
4. Important is to know how to make good use of shortcuts.
5. Check this thread to know how to do long-send, long-end, long-ptt, etc. with shortcuts.
6. If poweroff.exe can not resune, maybe can use a shrtcut of mortscript command.
Edit: I misunderstood your question. I think there is a settings somewhere to allow 'when device is off, allow any key to resume.'
If can nott find in settings, do this registry tweak:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"DefaultKeyLock"=dword:00000000
Otherwise search for KeyLock.cab
But it's not long press to resume, just press any key to resume.
Oh wow, I didn't think anyone would reply to my thread. Thanks for the great tips!
Hey guys, i just spent like an hour trying to figure this damn thing out but i cant seem to do it!
here's the game, gfDoom,
http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm
just FYI.
I'm attaching the "keyboard" skin for the game, which allows landscape and i'm quite happy with it. The only problem is in landscape i cant see a way to save the game, or exit the game.
By default for Touch Pro, landscape
VOLUME DOWN = OPEN DOOR (which is fine)
BACK BUTTON/OK BUTTON = SHOOT (also fine)
Other hardkey buttons unmapped.
doesnt need a map button since on screen, bottom left corner activates the map
now i'm trying to map the pause/menu button to one of the hardkeys. Make full use of em. Like the enter key and the volume up key. Can someone help me out here? I think one key shud be a letter or something so that can save the game. Like when i wanna save the game i have to type a name.
I have found this link "Keys and Key Codes for Windows Mobile" but am unable to get it to work after several attempts.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb431750.aspx
see attachment for the instructions and the folder containing the skin "Keyboard"
Hopefully someone can help me out by helping me map it out.
Please post results here
bump for attention. i'm sure someone knows these stuff and i'm hoping to learn T.T
bump one more time. maybe i shud ask in raphael main forum section?
Change the title of your thread. It sounds like you're trying to get someone to give you registration keys for software, or something equally illegal. I realize you're not, but I may simply be more curious than the average reader.
Look for a program called HButton. It might do what you're looking for.
Also, it's considered bad form to bump your own threads, unless they fall off the first page without getting responses.

yea it fell off the first page which is why i bumped it.
oh okay will edit thread title.
and btw HButton is to assign apps to hardware buttons. what i need is some help regarding configuring the .txt file for gfDoom to configure Doom controls. what i need is a hardware button for the menu key
Managed to get it working reasonably.
Volume down = FIRE
Volume up = STRAFE (hold down whilst pressing left or right)
OK/Select = OPEN
Back = FULLSCREEN (Toggles between portrait and landscape)
Couldn't seem to map the Call and Call-end buttons successfully.
Having the "Back" button as a full screen button seemed more functional than just using it to pause or quit the game, as from the portrait/keyboard mode you can access these facilities and more (e.g. save, load, exit etc).
Just stick the modded text file in your "KEYBOARD" folder. I've renamed my "KEYBOARD" folder "DEFAULT" so I don't have to use the launcher .exe (configuration tool) and can just use the direct .exe to go straight into the game.
P.s. The game seems to run ever so slightly more smoothly if you disable TF3D (Manila) from: Settings/Today
before launching the game. Simply enable again once you're finished.
In case you want to setup you controls differently, here are the mapping codes for the buttons:
Code:
Button Hex Dec
vol+ 0x75 117
vol- 0x76 118
back 0x5c 92
end 0x73 115
call 0x72 114
ok 0x86 134
up 0x26 38
down 0x28 40
left 0x25 37
right 0x27 39
You need to enter the decimal values within the text file.
i'm actually using the up button to pause game to save etc etc. but i'll definitely try to follow your config for the volume up button. cuz i cant get mine to work. i prefer back as shoot. lets me run around with stylus and shoot/strafe.
I've modded the skin a little further, using the default skins layout and the keyboard skins toolbar (with fullscreen and exit etc)
Attached the skin files...
Made two new skins for GFDOOM from scratch with as much functionality for the Raphael as I could map. I'm quite pelased with them.
One is a Doom themed skin, the other one is to match NRG's EnergyROM theme.
I am aware that there is a thread in the Droid 4 Dev Section but as I am a "New User" I can't post there
^^ And as I am a new user please excuse any mistakes I make in posting/formatting this
I am going to be redoing this guide soon for several reasons.
A few days after I made this thread the root functionality of File Expert became something you have to pay for. I also found a good hex editor which is much clearer then Notepad ++.
There are two parts to this guide, Remapping Physical Keys/Buttons and Alternate Keys(Using the SYM key as an ALT key as on previous Droid versions).
Things to download
File Expert (I use this as my root file explorer, permission editor, etc. it also lets me remount the /system as read write which I couldn't seem to do with adb remount or busybox remount.) You dont NEED this, you should theoretically be able to use terminal/adb shell but I couldn't get it to work so this guide uses it.
KeynrTracker.apk (For Remapping buttons not covered) Attached, From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 - the actual button remapping tool doesnt work with Droid 4 yet
Notepad++ I would recommend using Notepad++, but any editor that can handle binary/unix files - NORMAL NOTEPAD DOES NOT WORK, NOR DOES WORD
THE PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED FOR THIS TO WORK - MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILES THAT WE ARE GOING TO EDIT
Remapping Physical Keys
The files in /system/usr/keylayout are the configuration for physical buttons, you can edit all of them, but I would recommend only editing omap-keypad.kl(Physical Keyboard) for the time being, as you could disable the capacitive buttons. IF you do somehow mess up omap-keypad.kl (I didnt have the correct permissions at first) android has a default generic version it defaults on if omap-keypad.kl doesn't work correctly, you can tell it is using this as the Caps Lock key, Shift key, SYM key wont work properly and the Arrow buttons will all be rotated to the right so up = right, right = down etc.
This part of the guide is essentially this older guide for HTC Hero, but with more customization for the Droid 4.
Either download my uploaded copy of the original omap-keypad.kl or get your own from /system/usr/keylayout/omap-keypad.kl
Open omap-keypad.kl in a text editor either on your phone(touchqode is what I use) or on your computer (Notepad++)
For this example I am going to remap the SYM key to an ALT key so it can be used in the next part of this guide.
In your text editor find
Code:
key 162 SYM WAKE_DROPPED
(It should be at the bottom) 162 is the physical scancode, SYM is the action that happens and WAKE_DROPPED tells the OS that if the phone is off pressing key 162 will wake it but it will not send the keypress. We want to make this an alt button so all we do is change SYM to ALT_LEFT (You have it be ALT_RIGHT, I'm not sure theres a difference but I use ALT_LEFT). So it should look like
Code:
key 162 ALT_LEFT WAKE_DROPPED
If you want other keys, for example I remapped the OK key to be a SHIFT_RIGHT key, you need to find the scan code for the key using the attached KeynrTracker.apk
So in this case the scancode is 232, so we go into our omap-keypad.kl file and find key 232
We see that it is mapped to DPAD_CENTER and I want to make it a shift button so I'll change it to SHIFT_RIGHT
Now we need to get our keymap back onto the phone should be as simple as
Code:
adb remount
adb push omap-keypad /system/usr/keylayout
BUT, that did not work for me so I had to use File Expert to remount and copy the file. So transfer the file to the internal phone storage/sdcard, then use File Expert to remount the /system as rw.
Go to /system press the menu button -> More -> Mount -> Mount as Read Write
Then copy the edited file from your sdcard to /system/usr/keylayout it should prompt you that there is a file there called omap-keypad.kl, select overwrite.
Then long hold on the omap-keypad.kl file and select permissions from the menu.
Make sure the permissions look like below, and click apply.
Now reboot your phone and your custom key mappings should work!
Creating Alternate Keys
The biggest issue I have from switching from a OG Droid to the Droid 4 is the fact that you have to press SYM and select your symbol instead of alternate symbols for a key.
So we already set up the SYM key to act as an ALT key in the first part, but now we have to define the keys so they do something when our "ALT" key is pressed, this data is stored in /system/usr/keychars/omap-keypad.kcm.bin, like before you can use my uploaded versions or get your own from that directory. But unlike before these aren't straight forward text files they have been converted to binary, because it is faster for the system to read. So when we open it in Notepad ++ this is what it shows
Because this file is binary/hex the all the nul symbols really = 00 in hex = 0 in binary. If you feel comfortable editing the hex code directly you can convert the document from ASCII to hex in notepad ++ under the plugin menu, and use this to figure out the characters http://www.ascii-code.com/
But for the purpose of the guide we are going to ignore the NUL symbols and change the characters. If it helps you can make a copy and open it in normal notepad because it doesnt show the null characters, BUT YOU CAN NOT USE NOTEPAD TO EDIT IT. So to set a key so it will use an alternate key when ALT(SYM) is pressed you need to find 5th instance of that in the document, so in this case I want to make the "," and "." keys be "<" and ">" when SYM is held down, so I need to change the 5th definition for the , key to < so it should look like this
Code:
NUL,NUL,NUL,NUL;NUL<NUL;NUL
And the same for the "." key
Code:
NUL.NUL.NUL.NUL:NUL>NUL:
From what I understand from poking around on the files from my phone and looking at things on the internet the first two times the character appears is defining what key has what attributes, the 3rd one is the lowercase, 4th is the uppercase, 5th is the ALT and 6th is the ALT+Shift. So with out all the Nulls this is what the Key Character Map for A looks like, A A a A a A and for "," it is , , , ; ; ; but for our edited version it is , , , ; < ; because the 5th spot is the one that represents the character you will get when you do that key + ALT.
Now to get the file back onto your phone do what we did before but put it in /system/usr/keychars/omap-keypad.kcm.bin
Make sure your permissions are the same as the one for the omap-keypad.kl
Restart and you should have a working Alternate Key Character
Awesome, can't wait to try this out. I haven't looked at all of this quite yet, but i am hoping to be able to remap caps lock, the most useless key ever, to something better. Thanks for your work!
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA App
The guide was amazing helpful for binding >< and changing caps lock to be an alt key, but I was wondering if you had any idea which file would have the operations for alt + backspace to make it clear a whole line. Again thanks for the guide.

WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? CAPS LOCK IS THE BEST KEY ON THE KEYBOARD. THIS IS BLASPHEMY.
(Sorry couldn't resist )
Keyboard maps out pretty well, I did
quote -> backquote
I -> pipe
O P -> { }
K L -> [ ]
/ -> \
, . -> < >
Q -> tilde
Used CAPS LOCK as my alt key.
Left the SYM key entirely alone.
Half tempted to make caps lock and OK shift keys, make sym key the OK key, and make shift key the ALT key.
BTW, ALT+arrows and backspace work as they did on the Droid 1/2/3.
Thanks so much for posting this, really has made the Droid 4 keyboard *SUBSTANTIALLY* better!

I'm not sure, neither of my phones(OG Droid, Droid 4) have had that functionality so I'm not sure what makes that work. If you want you can send me your keylayout and keychars folders from your old phone(Droid 2/3?)that had that, through a PM and I'll try to figure out how to add that.
kb remap
moah99 thank you thank you thank you. The one key I totally miss from my D1 is the @ key and thanks to you I have remapped the useless caps lock key to @. Caps lock would be useful except I use swiftkey that renders it inoperative on the D4.
After finding the correct key (222) with keynrtracker, I completed the rest using rootexplorer - backed up that file, mounted the containing folder as r/w, opened file in text editor, edited the correct line to show AT instead of CAPS, rebooted phone and it worked perfectly.
Tried this but....
I tried changing the key 222 (Caps lock) to power the phone off and on (when i text people and I'm watching tv i typically just leave the keyboard open and lock the phone, but the power button isn't exactly easy to find) so i wouldn't need to use the power button on top. It didn't work, is there anyway i can get it to work?
Thanks,
Jacob

Looks like it does support it. For some reason it was just buggy at first and didn't seem to respond to alt then left. As for the delete, I was coming from an epic and my friend with a droid 2 had told me the alt then delete would wipe the line, apparently alt has to be held when it's hit and within texting you either need 2 blank spaces before pressing it or to have just finished deleting a word. Or some odd rules like that. Thanks for the help.
Hmmm. I'm running into some oddness here, the shifted number keys look right in the kcm.bin file, but they don't work in Connectbot. It looks like they're being treated like ANSI function keys instead. Anyone else know what's up here? I've never owned a Droid-anything before, my previous two phones (G1 and TP2) keyboards work fine in Connectbot.

Help me please
So you definitely seem to understand how this works. Well i tried making my caps lock key a power key because my power key sticks really bad, and all that did was screw up my dpad (like when i would press the left arrow it would go down, etc) and so i asked for a /system/usr/keylayout file which i got and tried pasting it into the usr file to fix all the things i may have screwed up and now nothing works. The capacitive buttons, all of the keyboard and the volume and power doesn't work. What do i have to do?
remap slash key to just question mark
What is the proper designation in Omap-kypad.kl for the question mark? I wanted to convert the slash / key to just the question mark. The D1 has one - I looked at the Omap-kypad.kl on my D1 but couldn't find anything that looked like "quest" or "question", etc. On the other hand I don't see that slash in the symbol set when the SYM key is pressed so maybe I shouldn't change it. Would be nice to know if its possible though.

You should check the permissions of the files using adb shell/terminal emulator.
Code:
su
cd /system/usr/keylayout
ls -l *
It should look like (with your date of course)
Code:
-rw-r--r-- root root 3383 2012-02-24 23:20 omap-keypad.kl
-rw-r--r-- root root 245 2011-12-28 15:23 AVRCP.kl
-rw-r--r-- root root 75 2011-12-28 15:23 cpcap-key.kl
-rw-r--r-- root root 1834 2011-12-28 15:23 evfwd.kl
-rw-r--r-- root root 3609 2011-12-28 15:23 usb_keyboard_102_en_us.kl
-rw-r--r-- root root 4132 2011-12-28 15:23 qwerty.kl
If it doesn't say -rw-r--r-- that means the correct permissions aren't set, so run:
Code:
chmod 0644 *
and all your buttons should work!
Your original issue was probably the same thing the permissions on the file probably weren't set right which makes it default on a generic keylayout. I did the same thing when I first was remapping my buttons and I couldn't figure out what was wrong for a couple weeks
Although this looks like a very powerful tool for remapping keys, I'm a little overwhelmed. For my previous WM phone, HTC Touch Pro 2, there used to be a very intuitive, easy-to-use remapping tool.
Is there any chance that somebody will develop another key-remapping tool targeted for the technically challenged if I wait this one out?
Can somebody tell me how I can assign "!" to shift+1?
I know. "!" is assigned to shift+1 by default. But with Smart Keyboard Pro, all symbols are messed up so I have to reassign them all individually.
I am a total noob when it comes to coding and I just remapped my search key and made it a second power key! Two minutes, root explorer did the trick.This is my first post on these forums and this is a fantastic thread for noons and pros alike!
P.S. I tried the app first but the layout file is named as QWERTY.kl in CM 7.2 RC 1 so I had to do it manually.I used your helper app to find out what I needed to change!

Remmap a key to no function
Hi, I was wondering how to remmap a HArd Key to do nothing. I can eighter modify the .kl file or use ButtonRemapper, but what should I write in order to dissable this key.
The reason is because the volume down button is broken and keeps pressing itself when the phone heats up.
Thank you!
Change the keyboard layout
Hello,
I use a smartbook HP Compaq Airlife 100 with Android 1.6. This device has a physical keyboard with Spanish layout. I want to change it into a German layout. In /system/usr/keychars I find a German quertz_hawthorne_german.kcm.bin. In /system/usr/keylayout I find a quertz_hawthorne_german.kl.
At which place is the trigger for switching the used keyboard language? In the normal Android menu I can only choose English-uk, English-us and Spanish.
The only thing I have found is in /system/build.prop: ro.product.locale.language=es and ro.product.locale.region=ES
