Hi,
I have Xperia X10 mini pro with MiniCM/CMv6 5.0. For very long time everything was fine but now it seems that Enter key is still pressing itself and I can't write SMS or do hardly nothing with physical keypad. I don't want to give it to a service so I tried to turn off Enter key. My /system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml informs me that my keylayout is qwerty-en, so I deleted from /system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts/qwerty-en.xml these lines:
Code:
<key id="28"
meta="META_ENTER"
primaryNormal="\n" primaryShifted="\n"
associatedNormal="\n" associatedShifted="\n"/>
without result.
My question is how to disable this key.
Thank you in advance and sorry about my english

Change the keyboard layout, put the enter key with no action????
Btw just asking did u save the .xml file u edited???
go to messages press menu buton
select settings and go down and you will se Sedn on Enter disable this and try
Thanks for reply
Of course I saved the file and checked it by opening this file again. Now I tried deleting just "actions" for Enter key:
HTML:
<key id="28"
meta="META_ENTER"
primaryNormal="" primaryShifted=""
associatedNormal="" associatedShifted=""/>
so as you can see I deleted "\n", without effect. On Windows Mobile this issue is partialy solved by using program called AE Button Plus.
Any ideas?
I have this option disabled but writing messages with hardware keyboard is still difficult because there is still created new line and in a result message looks like this:
Code:
s
m
s
In addition, the problem not only affects sms writing but also web addresses entering and even using menu.
Check what is set for the key 28 in the mimmi_keypad.kl in the system/usr/keylayout.
It should say:
key 28 ENTER WAKE_DROPPED
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Yes, it says
Code:
key 28 ENTER WAKE_DROPPED
I deleted this line and after reboot Enter doesn't work. Thank you

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"
So far I can't post PM or message to developement board as new registered user, lets try to get answer to my problem this way
Problem and following ROM is related to Xperia GO
I downloaded, installed and started use ExtremeSecurity Stock Jelly Bean 6.2.A.1.100 European ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328171. I did it as I need something to replace stock one with delays it have. I found one problem, I am unable to solve. After install and rooting I found I can't use the home key (the touch sense key under display - the one with "house"). I was trying to google and change mapping of this key and did not succeed. So I made some tests and did not move anywhere forward...
1) If I go to recovery, cwm allow me to display key numbers in some menu. Here key respond well it code as 102 (as it should)
2) If I add line like key 102 HOME WAKE to any file in /system/usr/keylayout nothing change (after editing I reboot, then put it back, so far I was not succesfull)
3) If I use any of "keypress test application" (try 3 of them) they report all keys well (back, settings, vol up/dwn power) but no report and no action for home.
There is no difference in press or long press of key. Simply no action follows.
Do you have any Idea what can be wrong?
Thanks a lot
Karel
P.S. If admins will forward it as message to munjeni or move to Developement part of forum for this ROM, please delete it here...
Hi
The main goal: disabling the home button wake on the lockscreen and every other home fuction remain the same
this solution based on this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224688
you need root acces:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
Download Total Commander from Play (it's better bcose there is automatic moun/remount function )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander
- allow root acces to TC
- navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
- locate and copy to safe place gpio-keys.kl and sec_keys.kl
- open the original files with TC editor (press once on the filename and choose "Edit")
- Search the following lines in gpio-keys.kl:
Code:
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 172 HOME WAKE
and delete the WAKE world and all spaces after HOME!
it should be looking:
Code:
key 102 HOME
key 172 HOME
- save gpio-keys.kl (TC do all mount-remount thing)
- Search the following line in sec_keys.kl:
Code:
key 172 HOME WAKE
and delete the WAKE world and all spaces after HOME!
it should be looking:
Code:
key 172 HOME
- save sec_keys.kl (TC do all mount-remount thing)
restart the phone and enjoy
If you're using CM, go to Settings - Display and Uncheck the second last option to achieve the same effect in a much simpler way

Very useful tutorial. Thank you a lot. My phone used to unlock itself in my pocket and then make a call or mess up settings... S4 mini reacts to touches trough thin cloth. This wasn't problem on HTC.
Wanam xposed module can do it ss well. Obviously you need to have xposed framework installed.

Not working with my AT&T S3 with stock 4.4.2 android. This is driving my nuts. There has to be a way to disable this. HELP!!!
Hi,
I've rooted my Galaxy S4 mini because the home button is turning on the screen continiously draining my battery. The root was succesfull, but i cant edit the files with Total commander. I get a 're-mount error'. Anyone know how to solve this? I'm running stock android 4.2.2.
I also tried installing Wanam Xposed and found the option, but it didn't work.
Thanks
Removing WAKE didn't help my either. I had to comment out (#) the whole line in gpio-keys.kl.
Now HOME is completely disabled and I installed Auto Hide Soft Keys to create a virtual nav bar.
On the other hand, who needs HOME

Thanks for your reaction! My problem is that i cant change the gpio-keys.kl file. I get a 're-mount error'. But maybe i will need your suggestion further on.
Hmmm, phone is rooted?
I used ES File Explorer in Root Mode, changed gpio-keys.kl file permissions to rx-rx-rx, edited the file and restored permissions to rx-r-r. After a reboot, HOME was disabled.

Yes the phone is rooted. I checked it with root checker. Maybe i need to change the the file permissions. How can i do this? With ES file explorer?
Do you use stock android ?
Yes I'm on stock rom.
Open ES Explorer and go to Tools. Switch on Root Explorer. Mark the file and change the permissions via More > Properties. Just add the middle and lower check on the right side.
Now edit the file and change the permissions back.
I am able to save the file now, but the home button is still functioning. I commented out the lines with HOME in gpio-keys.kl and rebooted. But still the screen keeps turning on because of the home button.:crying:
In reverse?
Anyone know if the opposite variation on this is possible?
I.e., I'd like to be able to use the home button to wake my phone up, but not to take me to the home screen, simply to turn the screen on so I can continue with whatever app I'm currently using, such as gps... (if it can carry on working as home button when the screen is already on, that would be fine).
Using the side power button can sometimes be a hassle and I'd like a way to simply turn the screen on quickly. I'm also on CM not stock though...
Thanks!
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!
