I am trying to fix the Physical keyboard to have full functionality (smiley and symbol keys). From what I can tell the issue lies in QWERTY.kl which is missing a few lines from the stock ROM
Code:
#key 11 0
key 11 SMILE
#/* < BU5D09842 weixinghai 20100513 begin */
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
#/* BU5D09842 weixinghai 20100513 end> */
key 194 SYM
Now I've tried editing the qwerty.kl that comes with Icy Tiramisu with various text editors and when I reboot it's as though the keyboard is not being recognised at all. I've even just added 1 line (key 194 SYM) with the same result.
I've had a look at the fixed HuaweiIME.apk that zenaufa made for this ROM and it seems to contain all the correct elements for the smiley and symbol button to work and from what I can tell the changes to qwerty.kl should work. Can anyone give me any insight into what could be going wrong?

First: I am not responsible if this mod destroys your device!
WARNING: It is only for the Xperia Mini Pro (sk17i)
PlayStation GamePad
This mod just remaps the hardware keyboard's buttons to look like the playstation one's.
Remaped Buttons:
W --> up
A --> left
Z --> down
D --> right
I --> triangle
M --> cross
J --> square (Actually "BACK" button)
L --> circle
Q --> R1
BackSpace --> L1
< --> start
> --> select
Requirements:
ES file explorer (Market Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd )
Root
Terminal Emulator (Market Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ.. )
ClockWorkMod Recovery.
The attached file below.
This mod will place two files in the system folder
Gamepad (at /system) . It is a script that backups the qurrent keyboard mapping and replace it with the gamepad mapping!
gamepad.kl (at /system/usr/keylayout) Actually the new buttons
How to install:
Backup ROM.
Flash the attached file at ClockWorkMod Recovery.
Install Terminal Emulator and ES File Manager.
Open ES File Manager, go to Settings, Check "Root Explorer", "Mount File System", "Backup System App".
Pess "Allow".
Go to the terminal Emulator and type "su".
Press "Allow".
Then type "sh system/gamepad".
The device will reboot. Once it boots open a game and...
Enjoy!
How to uninstall:
Uninstall works only since you haven't changed ES File Manger Settings from the "How to install" proccess.
Open ES File Manager.
Press "HOME" button.
Open Terminal Emulator and type: "su".

I'm telling you to open the ES File Managen in order to mount the /system Read-Write! I will fix it in a later version!

5 There you will find following lines-
#KEY_MENU, KEY_BACK
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL

Yes it is possible but before that can you provide me little info about your rom and phone ?
Hello. Can make longpressing the menu button to bring tasks list? (multistak app list). Tq!
First of all, root is required to edit these files.
Basically, all you have to enable the software buttons, is add 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the build.prop in /system and reboot.
Deactivate the hardware keys.
Go to /system/usr/keylayout and open 'Generic.kl' in a text editor and find the lines that say 'key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED', 'key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED', and 'key 172 HOME' and place a # at the start of each line like:
#139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
#158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED
key 172 HOME (I would not recommend and disable home)
Take care here because if you add a # to the wrong line, you won
And last, navigate to system>usr>keylayout. We will be looking for a file called "sec_touchkey.kl".
Out the keys you don't want to work with a #.
So if you are like me and think the home button is fine, it will look like this.
#key 139 MENU
#key 158 BACK
key 102 HOME
key 217 SEARCH
UPDATE: For Customize Navbar Go to Settings-->Buttons
Just remember to remove the # - before you update the Cyanogenmod version to a newer.
I compile a kernel for Huawey Y210 and has some bugs which I would like to know if you can solve
bugs:
rotation is reversed
brightness settings do not work
and the keys are poorly configured are:
Menu key = back
Home key = menu
Back key = home
I have an Xperia Mini Pro with LegacyXperia CM11 on it and I'm trying to swap home and menu buttons but it's not working.
I have changed /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl to
Code:
key 139 HOME WAKE
key 172 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
and restarted but nothing happen. Do I have to do something else for it to reload the keylayout from the file?
Regards
