-Install Launcher Pro and launch it.
-Press Menu then Preferences.
-Select Behavior Settings
-Change Home Key Action to Show/Hide Status bar.
-Restart Launcher Pro.
Now when you are in a full screen game app like Angry Birds, hit the Nook button and you will see the status bar with the back button, menu button, etc.
Hitting the nook button just takes me back to LauncherPro. It only hides and unhides the status bar when I am IN LauncherPro.
Yeah... seeing that now. Could have sworn it actually brought up the menu when I was still in the game.
Oh well. Lets keep trying to find a fix.
any progress on this yet? i would love this to help with my games.
I have an idea for a workaround fix. I'm not really sure whether this is possible at all or how long it might take someone to program this:
A proxy home application:
1. When you press the nook button and you are not on the home screen (preferably only if you are in fullscreen mode, but I'm not sure if you can get this info easily) you get a popup menu that displays you all the Android buttons, and "settings".
2. In the settings you can set the "real" home's package name. AFAIK the HOME button sends something like a "show launcher" (can't be bothered to look it up at the moment) Intent to the system, so we can't just send it again when we press the virtual "home" button. Unless of course you "always" want to choose what happens when you press the nook button.
3. The other buttons (back & menu) would just forward the keypress event to the currently running Activity (the one on top of the stack). Now there's the thing I'm not sure about: is this possible at all? I believe there are remote control apps that forward input from your PC to your Android device, so I guess it should be possible.
Something like this... I guess if this is possible it should be fairly easy for someone who is familiar with input methods and launcher code to put something like this together.
Powerstrip behaves this way. It is a popup menu I retrieve by double tapping home. Single press of home loads whatever launcher is configured in Powerstrip's settings. Maybe something similar but when you double tap shows the back and menu keys overlayed onscreen. Shouldn't be too hard to program for someone versed in Android development (not me).
I remember early talks of changing the volume keys to act as menu and back. You could always change the volume in the UI.
I've mapped my volume keys to home/back. Works great.

wouldn't this remove all volume functionality?
Would I still be able to change volume while in a Music app?

It would remove the volume button functionality... I'm not sure if there's a software volume setting somewhere... There's talk over here about porting Cyanogen's Mod or something to enable a Home button-Volume combo that restores volume functionality.
For me, the volume is less of a concern - I'm pretty much always within reach of my EVO - and I use that for music primarily.

Home/back, or menu/back? I mean, we already have a home button ...
(but awesome, btw)
There's a bunch of widgets you can use instead to control audio volume.

Make sure you have a space between the g' and the * - I ran in to the same problem myself.
I noticed that when launching Root Explorer and applications like Maps actually have the Back and Menu button located at the bottom, Nook dock bar. However, no Search button was there.
Perhaps it can be switched on somewhere in the settings?

Space is there, still not working... Hmm...
You don't have to use sed, you can use any text editor which is faithful to unix file formats (IE, doesn't use CR/LF or CR, just LF). Vi is fine, or on windows, maybe something like crimson editor.

How do I manually assign my phone a hostname on my wlan?
I've gone through all the other threads on XDA but none seem to actually work.
I've tried setprop net.hostname galaxys2
(can check this with getprop net.hostname)
and I've edited system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf and added hostname galaxys2 and ddns-hostname galaxys2
but still no result, anyone got any ideas?
this works for me. just add the below to the end of system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf
Code:
# custom hostname
hostname CHANGETHISTOSOMETHINGELSE
obviously, change the part "CHANGETHISTOSOMETHINGELSE" to the descriptive hostname that you want
note: make sure the file permission remains the same as before
can you tell me more how tho chang the dhcpcd.conf file, i try to use terminal, but the VI command was not found.

Remember it's case sensitive. The exact steps I just followed are as follows:
1. Install Dropbear SSH server. (Needs root)
2. SSH in (I use puttytray on Windows) and login as root (password given in Dropbear)
3. `mount -o rw,remount /system` to make the conf file writeable
4. `vi /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf`
5. Hit 'I' to enter input mode. Scroll down to the last line and type 'hostname Georges-GSII'
6. Press 'Esc' to exit input mode, then type ':w' and ':q'. It should NOT give an error saying the file is read only.
7. `mount -o ro,remount /system` to mount it read only as it should be
8. Stop the SSH server and restart wifi (just turn it off and on again)
Voila.

-------------------------------------------------------------SYSTEM INSTALLATION-------------------------------------------------------------
How install CM9 on archos gen8
-Download CM9 image files from mediafire that i have shared, choose appropriate image.
-Download initramfs.cpio.gz (NOT MINICOM except i tell you to install it for a report)
-Download Kernel in attachment files (don't uncompress the Kernel file, just rename it like this: zImage)
-Download data.img.tar.gz and uncompress it - choose the data image that you want and renamed it like data_ICS.img
Install Kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz
-install kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz (don't install the minicom version) by SDE menu
-Don't uncompress the Kernel file, just rename it like this: zImage
-Just copy-paste, ONE BY ONE the kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz (if I paste together the files, it doesn't worked for me)
/!\ BUT BIZCUITE, I HAVE A PROBLEM, THE TAB SAYS ME THAT zImage IS NOT INSTALLED, AAAAAAAAH!!!!!PLEAAAASE HEEELP
=>You have WINDOWS please read this!!!
Install CM9 Image:
-uncompress image of CM9 downloaded
-copy paste image on the root of internal sdcard (like CM7)
-uncompressed data.img.tar.gz if it's not done, choose an image and rename it like data_ICS.img
-copy/paste the data_ICS.img to the root of the internal sdcard.
How configure menu.lst (See the file in attachment, just uncompress it)
-edit your menu.lst, copy paste my line
Code:
CYANOBIZ||/CYANOBIZ_BETA2.X_AX.img|/init|0Archos|ARCHOS|ARCHOS|/init
Change "CYANOBIZ_BETA2.X_AX.img" by the version and the type of tab that you have downloaded
Exemple: CYANOBIZ_BETA2.4_A101.img
If you haven't the file. Create a file named "menu.lst" with notepad++ under windows (not the windows notepad!!!) Or gedit for ubuntu.
And copy paste the line on it. Save and copy paste the file on the root of the internal sdcard.
-------------------------------------------------------------GOOGLE APP. INSTALLATION-------------------------------------------------------------
How install Google App.
If you have NEVER installed GApp:
-Download the file
-Rename the file like this "gapps-ics-20120429-signedremake_all_dpi_works.zip" ( just WITHOUT the "-" )
-Copy paste the file in the download folders of your internal SDCARD
-Reboot
-After the first reboot wait 5 minutes (the system uncompresses the files and install its)
-Reboot and enjoy

SWAP / Zram / CompCache:
The swap is used with this priority:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/swapfile file 179156 5716 -1
/dev/block/zram0 partition 51192 0 -2
/dev/block/ramzswap0 partition 175464 0 -3
This the new swap_activation.sh
Code:
swapoff /dev/block/ramzswap0
swapoff /dev/block/zram0
echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /swapfile
swapon /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0
Just change the order of this lines to start differently the swap.
First to start : swapon /swapfile
second to start: swapon /dev/block/zram0
last to start: swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0
Play with this lines to see if performance are better.
-------------------------------------------------------------OVERCLOCK-------------------------------------------------------------
HOW OVERCLOCK THE CPU
just change the value with a root explorer into the file at this path:
/sys/power/mpu_freq_opp5
YOU WILL LOSE THE CHANGE AFTER A REBOOT
but if you find your oc stable write the line in the init.rc, under " # Enabling power management features":
Code:
write /sys/power/mpu_freq_opp5 1100

/!\ To make a report /!\ MINICOM version of initramfs is required.
YOU DON'T USED ADB (select NONE option) .. JUST MINICOM (SERIAL option)
I used the initramfs.cpio.gz with debug by serial made by Divx118.
install minicom and enter in a terminal under root rights:
"minicom -D /dev/ttyACM2" (when you are after selection of debug types screen and when OS screen selection appears press "enter" don't forget to plug usb cable )
The minicom must be connected. and DMESG log appears on terminal.
CONFIGURE YOUR TERMINAL TO HAVE UNLIMITED CHARACTERS ON THE SCREEN (else log will be cut)

DON'T TRY TO COMPILE ATM, IT'S JUST A BETA VERSION OF THE HOW - I HAVEN'T TEST IT!!
How to compile CyanoBiz:
Make sure that you have Ubuntu 10.04 or 12 - 64Bits - 4GB of RAM - 100GB free on HD and a Quad core CPU is better to compile it (i have 4GB of RAM and a little Core2duo 1.6GHz - dual core on a T60P Lenovo - HD of 300GB).
Go to your work foder. i have put it directly in my home directory, done it as you want.
mkdir -p ./BIZ_ICS
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics-release
repo sync -j16
Wait that the download is finished....
Download my github and uncompress the framework, device and hardware zip files (not update ATM).
Replace CM9 folders by mine:
-./framework/base
-./hardware/...
-./device/archos/g8
To compile:
. build/envsetup.sh

Hello,
ICS doesn't work on my A43. It stay locked on the OpenAOS screen after the .img selection menu.
Maybe my tablet isn't compatible.
Thanks for your great work

ICS doesn't work on my A43. It stay locked on the OpenAOS screen after the .img selection menu.
Maybe my tablet isn't compatible.
Thanks for your great work

Have you any cable connected on the tab and have you seen this?
Others things:
If you want to power on your tab without make any debug, don't forget to disconnect the tab from the USB computer.
If you do that, the CM9 doesn't want boot.
DISCONNECT USB CABLE IF YOU HAVEN'T MINICOM RUNNING
Retry without cable please and with the new kernel!!
Try to see if you have any log on terminal if it doesn't worked
Bizcuite
Please report about Touchscreen it's very important for me (and for you if you want a CM9 who works on your tab )
Make a report like this:
Model of tab: Archos xx
Touchescreen works: yes / no
Another bug (except if it writes on first post)
Remember: the first boot takes time the dexopt is active 2-3 minutes to have unlock screen.

Biz,
I've flashed the new kernel, booted back into CM. I've been sitting at the bootsplash for 20 minutes now. Attachment below.
Is it safe to try it on A70S with "kboot" installed? Seconds question that I'd like to know is that the touchscreen isnt currently working, right?

I don't know if it works with kboot, the kernel is based on CM7 kernel, if it works with it i think that yes!!
Touchscreen for A70S doesn't work (except if it uses Hanvon TS, it must work now), yes and i need a full log to fix it if i can (without tab it's very difficult).

You have a harddrive version, that's the pb, there is no error who permit me to fix it ATM.
I will pm you and see it later.
Edit: i have seen that all your log is cut, can you remake it with a more larger terminal (or more little char.) to have all lines
Bizcuite
the last thing that I see when I boot is some cyano guy who is traveling in space. Do I have to wait longer or its the unlock screen and my touchscreen isnt working?
EDIT: Rename your data.img to something else.
EDIT2: Can u help me run adb successfully, I've tried many times with guides but it was not for gen8 and I couldnt make it run. I really wanna join.
EDIT3: It booted. The touchscreen on A70S is working only at the upper left side (I can pull down the statusbar and enable/disable wifi). Nothing else is working on touchscreen. Hope it helps you cuz I cant run adb.

/!\ To make a report /!\
YOU DON'T USED ADB.. JUST MINICOM (adb cannot worked with this initramfs.cpio.gz, don't change it if you want adb, i have another version without serial debug)
I don't think that rename data.img is usefull:
look the init.rc:
Code:
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/storage
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/storage
mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/system
# mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data nosuid nodev
# mount ext4 [email protected]/mnt/storage/data.img /data nosuid nodev
data.img is not mount i used only data folder IN the image.
I need a log to see what's appened, i will retry my rom upload when i will be at home
If you have any linux machine you can try to see if there are crash errors when you mount the image in the data folder and tombstones folder
To mount image file enter:
mount -o loop /media/A70S/openaos-cm.img /mnt/
look the path of your tab, maybe it's not the same.

I dont have a linux machine. Is there any tutorial "how to set up minicom" or what is it?

I can expand the terminal window, but I already changed the profile for unlimited scrolling. The entire log as it was recorded should be there. I can produce another one with a maximized terminal window if that will help. Log attached.

Your best bet if you want to get serious on testing and debug is to install a linux distro. Since android was born from linux, it's much easier to get the work done from a linux platform. Your best best would be to used an Ubuntu based distro, like Ubuntu or it's variants, or Linux Mint. If you use that, I can give you instructions on what you need to get rolling. PM me if you are interested in doing that.
Yes I am interested in installing Linux. Anyway I found something. On A70S the TS seems to be miss calibrated, I entered settings and enabled the cursor (something that displays my touch direction) and it seems like its miss calibrated for a bigger screed or bigger resolution. Hope it helps.

It is not related to kboot I think, i have A70S with kboot and the only difference between them both is the large screen that 101 has.
To start with, I have a rooted Pantech Pocket that was running Carrier IQ and that is where the problem started.
I found there were 3 files that were associated with Carrier IQ. One in system/bin and two in system/lib and I moved the one from system/bin without any problem but when I moved the two from system/lib I ended up with a phone that gives me error message after error message after error message and all the errors say: "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
To make a long story short those error messages pop up so quickly I can not use the "MENU" or a "Long press" anymore and I have to use "Button Savior" to use the "Back" or the "Home" buttons. Note: even though Button Savior is given superuser access the "Menu" key still does not do anything.
I can not use ES File Explorer because I can't get into the menu to set it up as a "Root Explorer" since there is no way I can get the "MENU" key pressed and I tried several different programs too.
I can not use Root Explorer because I can not use a long press since that error message cuts the long press short.
I also tried the following set of commands to try and push the two files into the lib folder but ended up with an error message there too.
adb devices
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter
Then the error message I received was:
failed to set prot mask (inappropriate ioctl for device)
UPDATE AFTER PUTTING THE TWO FILES BACK INTO /system/lib
Turns out because my Pantech Pocket was still rooted all I had to do was type "adb shell" on one line and then after getting the '$' type "su".
After that I had to use the following command so I could copy two files back into /system/lib:
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
Then after changing the permissions the cp (copy) worked without any errors and I put the two files I had moved out of /system/lib back into /system/lib.
I learned a lot from trying to get rid of Carrier IQ and had to put carrier IQ back on the Pantech Pocket to make it usable. Dang AT&T but maybe there is something else I can do about Carrier IQ.

Here's how it can be done.
Reboot into TWRP, mount /system in RW mode, fetch(1) /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl and edit it.
Originally it looks like
Code:
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
key 580 APP_SWITCH VIRTUAL
You need to change it to
Code:
key 158 APP_SWITCH VIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
key 580 BACK VIRTUAL
and then upload(2) back to your phone.
Code:
1. adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl
2. adb push synaptics_dsx.kl /system/usr/keylayout/
Hopefully this feature will be implemented at the user level.

Hello. Is it possible to edit this file on Android giving some editor root privileges?
Yes but you'll have to reboot your phone after that.
Registered just to thank you for this! I was trying to get used to the buttons being flipped in comparison to my previous phones, but just couldn't
In case anyone comes here and is as newbie as I am:
If you're unrooted/don't want to root and are worried by the previous post, I did it with an unrooted phone just fine. Just needed twrp and adb. That post is asking about editing directly on the phone, while OP's outlined method has you using your desktop and... I used notepad++ but I assume regular notepad will work too, just right click and "open with..." to edit the .kl file. By RW mode, OP means having system mounted in read/write mode, which twrp will do by default at least in the version I'm using which is 3.1.1-0-x2. Just don't check off the option to make it read only. By the way, it wouldn't over-write for me, so I deleted synaptics_dsx.kl in twrp then pushed the edited file.
Can someone help me do this!
In simpler terms can someone explain this to me?
Clarification of explanation
Dear birdie,
Could you perhaps elaborate on the "mount /system in RW mode, fetch(1) /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl " instruction?
I am trying to disable the "recent apps" button on the Moto G3 in LineageOS 14.1, and I think if I map Home twice, (once more on `key 580` {or what the number on my type of device will be}), i have obtained that goal.
Any suggestions are appreciated, kind regards.

Explicit intended steps.
After doing some research I think
mount system in RW (rewritable) mode and fetch(1) $/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl$ and edit it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
can be performed with the following steps:
0. Commanders intend: mount system in RW (rewritable) mode:
1. Download minimal ADB and Fastboot.
2. Install TWRP and root on your phone
3. Steps: open adb on pc. Current location = \url{E:\somefolder\Minimal ADB and Fastboot_techbeasts\py.cmd
4. connect the phone with usb to pc.
5. Select mount in TWRP:
6. select \textbackslash system
7. press mount.
8. source for next step: \url{https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/help-to-mount-rw-twrp-recovery-t3376485}
9. \url{https://askubuntu.com/questions/175739/how-do-i-remount-a-filesystem-as-read-write}
10. \url{https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28009716/how-can-i-remount-my-android-system-as-read-write-in-a-bash-script-using-adb}
11. finally the last link, the following command sequence appears to solve the issue:
Code:
# Script to mount Android Device as read/write.
# List the Devices.
adb devices;
# Run adb as root (Needs root access).
adb root;
# Since you're running as root su is not required
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /;
12. Commanders intend: fetch(1) $/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl$ and edit it.
13. Source used to execute commanders intend: \url{https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/general/change-3rd-party-remote-key-layout-root-t3548871}
14. steps: adb shell \textgreater enter \textless
15. That shows
Code:
~ # <-[6
\end{verbatim}
\item ignore that weird stuff and just immediately after enter:
\begin{verbatim}
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
16. Now you will have a list of connected remote/controller, take a note of the Vendor number and the Product number.
17. ctrl+c to get out of the to me uknown, ~\# thingy
18. adb pull $/system/usr/keylayout$
19. that yielded for my moto G3:
Code:

20. All those files are for pre-built in controllers that you can connect the the phone, eg xbox 360 controller, snes controller etc. Except for AVRCP.kl and Generic.kl, these are used for the normal phone.
21. Change Generic.kl as AVRCP.kl says AVRCP.kl is not used anymore.
22. Copy the Generic.kl back:
Code:
adb root
adb disable-verity
adb reboot
(power down, boot into twrp again)
adb root
adb remount
adb push "layout file" /system/usr/keylayout (becomes in this case:)
adb push Generic.kl /system/usr/keylayout
adb reboot
