Has anyone figured out how to use the webOS specific buttons on any version of android?
If it all possible, seems like the buttons would be awesome if they could be used for specific tasks or even bringing up the notification bar
Im looking for a ROM or maybe a Kernel would work as well?
Either way some sort of software that would give me a reasonably stock android experience, but would also disable the capacitive buttons on the ONE and add android on-screen buttons.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction?
I think it's impossible to be honest but here goes; it's a huifei 4.2.2 andriod car head unit and I want the gps button to open up tom tom instead of the headunit's stock gps app. i've gone onto xposed remapper and enabled it to also get keys from gamepads, keyboards and miscellaneous but it won't take ANY of the keys, the home button included.

Just bumping this.
I LOOOOOoooovVVVEEEE my headunit to bits once i finally got it working pretty well i'd just love the tuner dial to dual function as a next/back control and the GPS button to open TOMTOM.
I'm worried that i'd have to rewrite the rom which would totally suck balls.
My LG V40 running Android Pie had a small handset on the floating bar. When you tapped the handset it opened up a small dial pad as an overlay on the existing app you had open. This dial pad overlay was somewhat transparent and could be moved around the screen. I used it a lot and really appreciated having it.
I just got the Verizon update to Android 10. There is much to like. There is a floating bar which works the way the older one did. BUT it does not have the handset to bring up a small overlay of the dial pad. Does anyone know how I might find this or how I could create it? I don't just want the icon, I want to tap the icon and have it bring up a mini, movable dial pad.
Thanks for any help and suggestions.
Welcome
I recently purchased android 10 auto head unit for my Toyota RAV4 2010
MCU : TS-G5.200630
The unit itself supports front and reverse camera ( 2 inputs )
of course Reverse camera comes up automatically after reverse gear
but in order to activate ( show on the screen ) front camera I need to go to unit press menu-then -F-Cam
very inconvenient ( not possible to add /change shortcut to home screen )
now my goal is to be able to activate F-cam by pressing assigned button on steering wheel
on the steering wheel control learning there is no option for F-cam only vol+ vol - pause etc , and its not possible to add custom button at least not from head unit operation.
There are 6 physical button on the radio but again there is no option to change their function ( there is no physical button learning )
How can I either add F-cam to steering wheel control learning
workaround for example assign F-cam to Mode ( physical button ) , :
then use Steering Wheel Control to assign Mode button to one pf the steering physical button
I am sure it is possible but I need help ,
I already talk to seller but he is unable to help
Thanks a lot

I've been trying to do the same thing on my AvinUSA android 10 auto head unit. I was sure I could find whatever app was used to show the front camera, but I haven't been able to find anything I can call from Tasker. I'm currently using Tasker with the Auto Input plugin to "tap" the screen. I created an application from a Tasker Task that goes to the Home page and clicks the "Applications" shortcut and then clicks the "Aux" shortcut there. That brings up the front camera on the AvinUSA unit. I haven't been able to figure out how to assign any hard buttons to it, so I used an app called "Vivid Navigation Gestures". It will let you assign a swipe from the edge towards the middle of the screen. So if I swipe from the left edge of the screen onto the screen, it pulls up the front camera.
There is one way you might be able to use a hard button. In my BMW, there is a "Navigation" button by the control wheel in front of the arm rest. I was able to assign that button to use Waze in AvinUSA factory settings. Then I set up Tasker to look for Waze to open and run a task that toggles split screen and opens my music app as well. Yours may not be able to do that, though. If it can, you could assign the button to open a GPS or Media app and have Tasker look for that and then go to the home screen and do whatever you need to get to the camera. Just a thought.
If you find a way to map the hard buttons on the steering wheel, etc., let me know. But I think we may be stuck just watching for whatever those buttons can already do and taking it from there.
Hope this helps. If you're not already familiar with Tasker, it may take you a while to get the hang of it. There's a pretty steep learning curve. Even if the things I mentioned don't work for you, they might give you some ideas. Good luck.
thanks

Thanks Tom
I will look into Tasker as I never experience with it .
Let you know about my finding.
I have also play a bit with FCC Launcher which is quite nice app , there is an option to assign F-Cam to steering wheel from that app ,but in my case it does not detect SWC buttons and I think its all to do with my radio Chip which is MTK 8257 and in my case there is only option to select MTK 8227 ,
have a try
