Hey
Does anybody know how to (if possible) to place any file (in my case a script file) in the app drawer so i can place it on the today screen and also on my lockscreen?
Yes
If you use Astro file manager you can long press on the home screen and press Shortcut->Astro File Manager->Then you pick the file you want to be added to the Home Screen,

If someone has helped you press on the Thanks Button

Hi guys, please help me
Home button, lock screen not working , and pressing the power button does not pops the menu . I know this is something to do with the keystr
but my keystr is there in imei folder.
I read the threads and found some solutions
1) I tried using the terminal emulator method. Doesn't work
2) Tried using the root explorer method (deleted the keystr, added new file and making sure the file is ON )
Help
3) I read in some forum about using Hex editor can anyone tell me how do I do this?
Please help. Thanks
P.s. I actually fixed the problem but it came back again after a few days.

If the file already exists and contains ON, also make sure the permissions on the file are at least 644, or rw-,r--,r--.

Root explorer, long click the file, permissions.
Has anyone figured out how to disable the power button for screen wake, so that the menu button and menu button only wakes the phone??
I can't imagine this to be too difficult, maybe just some build.prop edit, key mapping thing??
Anyone??
-Ryan
Ok, I tried doing this myself in Root Explorer, but...
Launched RootExplorer
system > usr > keylayout
Found sec_key.kl
Made a backup of the sec_key.kl file.
Long-pressed sec_key.kl and opened Text Editor
Went down to KEY 116 POWER WAKE
edited it to become-
KEY 116 POWER
Saved the change
Rebooted the device
No dice....power button still wakes the phone.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Got it working. Also had to edit sec_powerkey.kl in same folder.
-Ryan
sticky this maybe??
ive read on other threads that you can disable the capacitive buttons on the GT-i9300 by going inputting '#' in front of lines 'key 132 back' and 'key 158 menu'. however when i remove the '#'s my capacitive buttons still stay disabled. how to i re enable them?
remove the #, check the permissions and reboot
ive removed the '#'s but i dont know what you mean by the permissions. is that superSu? if it is ive rebooted the phone and still they wont work.
check the file permissions with a file manager and make sure they're so the same as the other files in the folder

Thank you sooo much!! it worked
For whoever is using a custom ROM and the bixby button is either disabled or cannot customize with the usual Bixby remap app, I have found a solution: (Root needed for #1, #2 works without root)
>Solution #1 (First try this, if it doesn't work - it didn't work for me for some reason - try solution #2):
With tips from the community, I have found these possible locations to edit the bixby key. Use root file explorer:
- /root/system/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl
- /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
- /vendor/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl (?)
Search for key 703 in each of these files. If it does not exist, try to add it manually. Effects take place after a reboot.
Use this guide here for more details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...on-with-simple-double-and-long-press.3839544/
>Solution #2 - Button Mapper: Remap your keys (Not my app)
First, try to see if you can remap the bixby key with this app. For me, it did not work again, but I found a nice workaround:
In the app, instead of changing "Bixby Button", go to "Add Buttons". Now, press the bixby key. The app should detect the key, and finally you can set it to whatever you want.
(But keep in mind, for this option, it is necessary to purchase the pro version).

I installed Magisk and Root Explorer. I don't have 703. Since I don't know English well, the instructions on the link are complicated for me. Can you briefly explain to me how to get Bixby to launch the desired application with one click? Thank you in advance.

Same problem as me, I didn't find 703 anywhere.. you can try manually adding it though, maybe it will work. Like:
key 703 CAMERA
save, reboot device, check if works.
Remember to save file with .kl extension, not .txt, or buttons wont work

I don't know how can try manually adding it though? What do I need to write to start Bixby button to save?

if as you said you cant find anywhere "703" in the file, write at the end just like the others, (you can open and edit the file straight away from the root explorer)
key 703 [desired command]
for example
key 703 CAMERA
then save file and reboot phone. If it works, after pressing the bixby key the default camera app should open.
Some people say it works, for me it didn't work though.

It didn't work for me either. I worked like that, but I also typed something like this, but without success.
# input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream
key 703 CAMERA
When I change everything, I save it, after that I change the txt name to kl. It needs Check Permissions after that, and I don't see it in Root Explorer. Maybe you need to go to Settings, select the app and check the permissions? I do not know.

Weird - first check in Magisk that root explorer has root permissions. Second try to edit the file at once without first chaning to .txt - most editors support it, no need to change. If that still doesnt work, try a different root file explorer app. For me worked "root browser".

Root Explorer works for me. The system is rooted, and I confirmed it when I opened Root Explorer. You say it didn't work for you. Neither did I. I did everything according to the instructions.
