Hey guys,
I have been looking for this question since long time, but no luck..
So thought of asking here in case any of you guys know about this....
I am using android set top box.. dual core and quad core both.. I have various RF airmouse/remote (mele f10 and other varients)
Does any one know the key event I can write for specific key under Generic.kl which can do following things on just key press on remote??
1) launch xbmc or any android app
2) when xbmc is ON, go to home screen directly on xbmc..
3) open subtitle window directly (while playing movie)
4) show video info
5) close xbmc
Will appreciate your help guys.. Thanks in advance..

Hi,
I just need some answers on a couple of questions I have, firstly how can I get spellcheck to work with the physical keyboard and not just with the virtual keyboard?
Secondly, I remeber seeing an app which would let you run a sort of overlay which would always be on top, allowing you to for example browse the internet and have a video playing on the side. Just can't remeber the name of the app, any ideas?
Thirdly, when using splashtop, wether its the ASUS my desktop version, normal splash top or splashtop HD is there a way to have the remote computer's mouse pointer follow the transformers mouse pointer?
Hope someone can help clear up a few questions.
Thanks
I suggest dual screen browser.

Hi All,
I've bought this Android box from Amazon : "Xsbox S805 - Android Smart Tv Box Amlogic Quad-core 1g/8g 1080p Wi-fi Network Xbmc Kodi 14.0 H.265 Android 4.4 Tv Player Black". Unfortunately as I have just registered I can't post a link.
I've connected a wireless USB mouse and keyboard and it works fine. However, whenever I press the G key the browser pops up. Even if I am on a web page searching for something when the G key is pressed another browser window is opened. Somehow it would appear that the key has been programmed as a shortcut. Has anyone else encountered this problem and knows how to remove/ fix it? I've looked through all the settings and I can't find anything. Google also has on this occassion has not been my friend.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Old thread but since went unanswered, here's a good guide to customizing your android keyboard mappings..

Hi all,
It took me a lot of time to find out how to setup my Logitech Harmony remote with my M8S amlogic S812 TV Box. My goal was to link more keys of the Harmony to keys in Kodi. Finally I found the solution on the net and want to share it for others who are struggling with this as well.
The solution should also work for M8 amlogic S802 boxes and perhaps with other boxes that have an build-in IR receiver that uses the NEC protocol.
You need access to the /system partition on the box. Use a root filemanager or setup a ssh server (quicksshd works for me.)
All steps are also explained in the attached file.
1. In Logitech MyHarmony software add the Pivos XIOS DS Media Player. This remote uses the right protocol and Logitech adds some extra keys additional to the fysical keys on this remote. You can link these keys to keys on your Harmony.
2. The All-off button on the Harmony uses the standard power-to-sleep function that doesn't work anymore with these new settings. You have to add the CodecInfo-action, which is linked to the POWER_SLEEP action, to the startup and shutdown actions of every activity of the Harmony that uses your android box.
3. The box uses a file to link the ir codes to android key codes: /system/etc/remote.conf. Replace /system/etc/remote.conf with the contents of the attached file (with thanks to Johan van Zoomeren who created it).
4. Run remotecfg /system/etc/remote.conf to activate the new settings.
Hope it works for you.
Joost.
Just come across this and just thought I would say thanks for the post... Works a treat with my harmony touch ?
hello. I want to start of by thanking you for the great post. i have a couple of questions tho and was hoping you can help me. i have the OTT BOX M8S+ which i am assuming is a similar box to yours:
1. what is the "codec info" that i need to add in order for the power button to work on the harmony
2. i want to use the colored buttons since i have an stb emulator. but everytime i press the green button my box jumps to the web browser.
3. also when i program the logitech, OTT box is in the database and seems to be working fine (copying the same remote keys)
appreciate your reply and feedback and hope to hear from you soon
Hello, i just bought an android tv box (nexbox a95x). It comes with a remote that has a "kodi" button on it, that starts the app Kodi when pressed. Thing is i don't use kodi and i would rather it start a different app. Is there a way to change either what the tvbox does when it receives the signal from the remote or change the other app's id or something to make the tvbox think it's kodi and start it ?
Any solutions?
