Hello all,
I do not have a lot of posts, so cannot post in the DEV thread.
Also I think it is good to discuss it separately not to spam the DEV thread.
For the ones having uppercase problems:
Press the text input box for some time and a popup will appear for input method. Use Android Keyboard. Done.
Several people asked is it ok for everyday use - yes it is. Using it for a week without problems. Got only a reboot twice by disconnecting the phone from the USB cable with 3.1. Do not get it now with 3.2.1. I got no random reboot so far, expect after FC with 3.2 and root explorer.
About the updates:
You can update all the time to copy the last package as update.zip to your sdcard and then running xrecovery 'install update.zip' method. When I first went from SE to Cyan 3.1 the phone stuck on reboot. Went to xrecovery and did a factory reset and the phone booted normally (with Cyan and not the SE stock).
If you check the contents of the .zip it's easy to understand what will get updated.
About current problems:
Besides the one described by owain, I get forced closed when the market starting to install any application and when running root explorer with 3.2 and 3.2.1 (which has no update regarding these). Also for root explorer I get a reboot after FC. With 3.1 both was working fine. I've seen some changes in the zips that I do not understand the reasons for (why ADWLauncher.apk and MarketUpdater.apk was totally removed from /system/app, things like that).
I will continue to report here if the thread will not get removed. Please try to be specific about your experiences to help the other users.
Thanks a lot,
arch
I try to create an inventory of exact issues and solutions below:
Issue #1: No uppercase
Solution: Press any text input box for some time and a popup will appear to choose an input method. Use Android Keyboard. Done.
Issue #2: There are no zoom buttons in the browser.
Solution: Go to settings within the browser, disable/enable zoom controls. They will be visible thereafter.
Issue #3: Market stoppes working in the moment after the installation of an application finishes (forced close).
Solution: None so far. Tried this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11708912&postcount=479), but it was not working for me (caould not install Vending.apk). If someone could post exact steps to reproduce, it would be fine.
Issue #4: Root explorer gets a forced closed on restart. Get an 'SD card safe to remove message' and a reboot soon thereafter.
Solution: None so far.
Issue #5: Disconnect from a running PPTP VPN connection. Get an 'SD card safe to remove message' and a reboot soon thereafter.
Solution: None so far.
Issue #6: Keyboard backlight is still on after sliding back the keyboard.
Solution: It has some timeout. After a while, the backlight is switched off.
Issue #7: Sym(bol) button not working
Solution: After pressing it (blue+sym) press space and a pop-up will appear for selection. If you don't see the char you wish for, blue + long press the key which likely has it as an alternative (instead of pressing sym). E.g. long pressing blue + Z (which is 3) will give you 3, 3/4, 3/8.
hi everybody
it seems like we've got an incredibly smooth and fast rom so far. everything works flawlessly
I still have only 2 small (really small) issues:
1) changing language on a hardware keyboard. on a stock SE rom there was a tiny selection box on a screen. now there's nothing. I just can't change language on a hardware kb...
2) there's no zoom buttons in a browser.
is it bugs or just my stupidity? if someone will help me, I'll appreciate it a lot
bw, have anyone noticed the same things or maybe it's just my install ?
Market Mobile Networks ?

Sent from my U20i using XDA App
This my first post i think, but I've been watching this forum for a while for updates.. Thanks for making this post.. I was just going to spam the forum with posts so i could post in the development thread. But then i happen to find this thread.
Does anyone have the original camera apk? or would it NOT work?
The basic one on 2.2 is UGLY and not very good for the small screen. Also the file names are annoying.
I find the original one on 2.1 was alot better, it fit the screen better. Also i like how it saves the files as DSCxxxxx made it really easy to use.
Vignette takes way too long and does NOT flow well. (takes long to save photos + You can't press the camera button to get back to taking photos.
The original one on the 2.1 firmware flowed well and you could take pictures easily.
If not can anyone recommend an app that works just like it, or really similar?
sym key
Damn me... i see your thread just when i post a thread for the sym key... :-|
By the way, the sym key doesn't work as expected, it doesn't pop up special characters, special punctuation marks and emoticons selection (as it does in SE stock rom).
Anyone with the same issue?

It's a known issue of this ROM. You can type special carakters like "ä" by (in this case) long pressing the "a", "ö" long pressing the "o" and so on.
for capital letters you have to do this:

I don't use those special characters, but symbols like '_', '"', '{', '}', '$', '%', '<', '>' and so on, should be very useful

7.0
Guys,
let's wait for 7.0 and forget this version or accept for the next couple of days that market has an FC. Owain is going ahead like a machine...
Thread closed, cheers,

Hi to all, this is one of my first posts here (maybe the first).
I've just installed this custom rom, i had some trouble with the market solved installing market.zip as suggested in the official thread of this CyanogenMod 3.2.1 and now it seems working fine.
I've just a question about the next apk installation... where install them? Or better, wich settings use?
I mean...
go in Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Application settings
have I to select "Allow application moving"?
And then change something in "Install location"?
By the way I prefer to install the applications in the sd card because of previous problems of full memory with Android 2.1.
Please tell me something about this question and sorry fo my poor english
so for me all is well done but bluetooth is still not working, only after the 1st boot
but after deaktivating und aktivating threre is no blutooth again.
Is there a fix posible ?
3.2.1b ROM
Dear all,
I put a 3.2.1b ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982489
Couldn't help much with application install, bluetooth, just checked and merged the sources from owain and nobodyAtall.
Have a nice day,

Hello
Got my Viewpad 7 for almost a week now.
At the beginning only the G-Sensor/Compass was making troubles - daily calibration because when using it portrait mode the display was headlong (with top side at the bottom). This is very annoying when playing games... steering left moves the car right and so (see video).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jjoDYj-Dk4
Now the last days the other more annoying problem drives me crazy:
It seems the bottom right softkey (menu key) does his own business. Just when taking the Viewpad it vibrates and shows up the menu bar or the keyboard (see video).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrfdtMYcua8
Most of the time a reboot solves the problem, but only for a few hours or "switch-ons". It happened one-time a day at the beginning, now it's nearly every 2nd time I bring it back from stand-by!
I bought the Viewpad 7 new at ComTech.de online shop.
Does anyone know that problem? Or have an idea how it can be solved?
Regards
I had the same problem with my menu soft key. I took it to the dealer and got screen+soft keys replaced through the warranty.

hardware fault i think....
I got the same problem with my settings button...
Any suggestions?
Settings button = Menu Softkey?
(the leftmost softkey when in portrait mode with softkeys at the bottom)
If yes, touchscreen/Softkeys has to be changed.
i had this problem, i found that after rooting my screen was the wrong orintation, but having cleared the devlic cache via CM twice, i now havnot got this issue for at least 4 days, so i guess its cured.... will report when i know more
Software solution
This is a solution from a user 'retrochip' from 4pda.ru forum
(Link to original post in Russian and i'm not able to post is here)
1. Root your device (can be done with Gingerbreak)
2. Find out codes for Menu button and Search button (229 and 217)
3. Edit configuration file /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (you can use RootExplorer)
In qwerty.kl:
Find text:
key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
and change to:
key 217 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
Find text:
key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
and change to (just comment it with #):
#key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
Save and reboot.
Now Menu button isn't active and Search button works as a Menu button.
No annoying random popping keyboard anymore.

Nice solution. When in warranty i'll choose to fix it by replacing those parts. But when out of warranty this is one to remember!
[HELP] Home button not working on MIUI life 2.4.20 v4 (ST17i)
Hi!
Today I've flashed MIUI life 2.4.20 v4 on my Xperia Active (ST17i) but home button is not working.
Tried reflashing, clearing cache & data, but there's some problem with the Android Configuration Assistant because it locks home button.

1. Install a Root Explorer/Browser with which you can view and edit system files.
2. Navigate to:
system>usr>keylayout, and look for a file named as " cyttsp_key.kl "
3. Open it with a root text editor
(you need an editor with root permission for editing system files, mostly they come equipped along with the root browser)
4. Here you will find the list Capacitive touch buttons along with their functions listed
eg: for xperia active with 3 Capacitive touch buttons Back, Home, Menu it is something like this:
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
5. So if your Home button is not working, you will notice the first line(key 102 HOME VIRTUAL) in missing. (102 is the button code, HOME is the function, & VIRTUAL I guess represents its a Touch Button)
6. Just add the line save the file & Restart your device, this should probably fix your problem.
Note:
1. The number the in each line after the "key" is a unique code for each button of your device, just google it to find the code & function of a particular button
2. If 1 of your hardware buttons are not working then repeat the same process with the file " pm8058-keypad.kl " in the same directory(system>usr>keylayout)
3. Make a backup of the file before you edit it.
4. You can disable a button by adding a "#" in front of the line that mentions its name/code.
eg: Change "key 139 MENU VIRTUAL" to "#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL"
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is a re post or someone else has come up with a better alternative. Hopefully then a moderator will clean this thread.
As most of us have just migrated to ultra from different models, we may have a spare headset laying round. The issue here is most of the headset is just not compatible with ultra i.e the buttons don't function as we want it to. This is a guide that may help solve that problem getting the best out of our old headset or the ones from different models
These are the steps
0.MAKE BACKUP OF SYSTEM!
1. root
2.Install THIS
3.Plug in your headset, open Key test and click any button
4.Note down scancode. In my case it was 257
5.Browse to system/usr/keylayout/msm8974-taiko-mtp-snd-card_Button_Jack.kl (use rootbrowser)
6.search for HEADSETHOOK
7.change the key to what ever scancode gives i.e 257 (in my case) . It should look like this
#original: key 226 HEADSETHOOK WAKE
#changed: key 257 HEADSETHOOK WAKE
8.now change the scancode number, in my case key 257 to 226 (or the key HEADSETHOOK is assigned to)
#original: key 257 VOLUME_UP WAKE
#changed: key 226 VOLUME_UP WAKE
9. Install THIS
10.Reboot
11.Configure buttons as per your wish
Hope its helpful.
good post, but probably should be in themes and apps section with the other Mods?
I am very interesting
I have generic headphone button with mic
only Play/Pause button work
(Back/Next button dont work)
I tried what you write with my Marshall Headphones and a Sony Xperia Z. I didnt find a file with the exact name, in my case I only found a file called apq8064-tabla-snd-card_Button_Jack.kl . In this file there are the headsethook command lines but when I try to save my changes, the system tells me "please select your SD Card first" but I am not able to select it then, it just ignores my selection. What can I do?
CyberSAD
in the last month, i have g925f rooted , 5.1.1, sometimes (offten!) ) recent app softkey start random and open double window, recent apps.... i try to hibernate some apk but nothing.... i try also to clear cache...but nothing. In safe mode everithng works fine. i have only the last chance to clean all my data, but i read that this don't fix the problem.
it's very annoyng when you write and random the left soft key start to work itself......
any solution?
thank U!
i made all kind of reset, but nothing change, sometime i have a "crazy" soft button that start to work like a spirit! or stop to work.
i tried also "safe mode" and a little less, but same (random) problem!
The only way, i find, before to go to assistance (or to put in the garbage!!!) is to disable the softkey.
i find this on xda:
Use a root explorer (I used X-plore with root enabled).
Go to
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Backup file Generic.kl ( copy it as a .bk or something )
Then open the file Generic.kl using the text editor within X-plore.
Then find the word APP_SWITCH linking with the code number (mine is key 254), change APP_SWITCH to MENU. Then reboot and your are done. The Recent Apps button is now back to being a Menu button. Life is great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...t3084638/page4
put"#" before key 254 and the key stop to exist, and stop to crash my balls
if someone has a different way to fix is wellcome for me.
thanks!
