Can anyone please help with with remapping the long-press-end-key on my HD2?
I tried various searches on the forum, followed various instructions like Long_end.lnk etc. Nothing worked. I don't want to install a 3rd party app. I would prefer a registry edit, or a cab file install which can help me remap the key to a specific program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS > Right now the long press of the end key is mapped to the quick menu with 4 options.
These kind of .cabs usually do the same as editing the registry yourself.
Look for Dutty's Task Manager.

Create a shortcut to the .exe you want to run. Rename it to 'EndKeyLNK' and copy it and the extracted 'EndKey.exe' attached below to the windows folder. Now long pressing end key will launch the exe. I did not create this i found it though i cant remember who did create it.
I use it to launch xdashutdown with no problems

Thanks buddy ... that was awesome ...
However, After doing that, when I press Long_end button, it tells me that the app cannot be run as it is unsigned or a component cannot be found. Weird.
How did you overcome that error with XDAShutdown app. I'm trying to use the Slide2Shutdown app.
Thanks

i had no problem at all with xda shutdown. Check that the shortcut you created is renamed properly and that it indeed works by manually clicking on it.
It needs to be EndKeyLNK.lnk

hi, its vjay555 who made this cute piece of software. the program is called vjbrisk.
works perfect thank you for the tip.
mad
Did you get it working Govindar77 ?
I just instaled it and it works great with xdasutdown too!!!!
nice
just remember to backup the original EndKey file
Thanks
All who helped and replied to this thread -
Thanks a bundle guys. I was able to get it working.
Made a cab, which can be installed, and pulls up Slide2Shutdown on long-press-end key.
Awesome .... me so happy ..
Anyone need the cab, just holla here, and I'll post it.
hello,iam trying to give a second option to the hardware key i dont know how to do it, i just install the cab endkey.exe but iam lost , can you orient me ?
I found this thread as I was going to try to get my old X1's Smaberg's actionscreen working with the off button (worked fine with the HD and the X1, not the HD2), then I found he'd got it working already.
It may be of interest to some of you, more options than xdashutdown.
ADDED ACTIONSCREEN FOR HD2/LEO Ver. 1.2 with data disconnect

Hey buddy,
If you're still interested - basically what you gotta do is copy the endkey.exe to the Windows folder, and then create a shortcut of the program, and rename it as endkeylnk.lnk and copy that to the Windows folder as well.
I just integrated all the steps and made a cab file (I also happen to have the exe file for Slide2Shutdown). So nothing needs to be done manually. Just install the cab, and voila ... long-press-end-key runs the Slide2Shutdown program.

Too many choices, buddy. I tried it and went away from it. I also have cabs for the BT toggle, Lock Device, Send Rec All, etc. So I just install the ones I need.

Great!! I was looking for something like this a while ago. Didn't found anything so I created my own work-around. I came up with this. Although the above solution is more simple, my solution has the advantage that you can add mortscript code in it.
Just copy the new exe over
Thanks to the contributions to this thread I was able to change the long press end key behavior...
Only I was so lazy that I didn't want to create a shortcut file and copy further files. So I only copied the original exe over the EndKey.exe using Total Commander.
And it worked immediately without soft-reset.
Given the old file is in ROM I suspect I just have to delete the copy to recover the previous one!
Thanks again because I tried the long_end.lnk and the registry 40C7 key modifications without any success.
Can you help me!! Set Long_Endkey for Smartlock (Lockscreen)! thank you!! plz!

Follow the instructions in post number 5. to create a shortcut (incase you didn't know) you long press on a file and then copy and at the destination long press in empty space and then paste shortcut. You need to find the .exe or link that launches smart lock. Create a shortcut to it and rename this shortcut to EndKeyLNK and copy it and the file contained in the zip attached to post #5 into the windows directory
laymil has posted a much better script for this. As such I will be discontinuing my work on this for now. Not for any hard feelings, but because it is now beyond me to help any further.
As always I am glad to have helped the community in some small way. Thank you all
CHEERS
Geniusdog254 Posted the exact lines in the build prop that needed to be changed. This is a pretty common fix for problems like this between versions of Android. There was some concern however that you may miss some of the newer apps released only for Froyo. I wrote some simple scripts that will fix this for us.
Simply: One puts the Froyo build.prop on your phone. The other puts the modded build.prop on your phone.
Prerequisites
YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED
YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
(IF YOU ARE USING PAULS FROYO ROM FROM HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
IT DOES NOT HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
Also--
There are now 2 downloads.
One will reboot your phone automatically
One will not!
(I recommend this one for anyone that has problems, or doesn't know ADB well.)
Installation
Code:
Download the attached .zip file
Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard
Place both "Normal_Froyo.sh" and "Modded_Froyo" files in the gscript folder on your sdcard
Code:
Open Gscript
Press menu and select Add Script
Press Load File button
Select Normal_Froyo file
Press Save button at bottom
Repeat for Modded_Froyo file
After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.
Normal_Froyo will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps
Modded_Froyo will give you the market fix build.prop
You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish
-----------------------------------------------
I've decided to skip the update.zip, I've found no way to copy the scripts to the gscript folder on the sdcard this way.
I'm going for an app instead.
P.S. I've never written an app before, java looks like russian to me lol. So if anyone has any tips, or knows any good tut's let PM me and let me know.
------------------------------------------------
fixed no buildprop folder
added NON-autoreboot download.
buildprop switcher v0.3.zip ORIGINAL
buildprop_switcher_no_rebootv0.3.zip NO REBOOT
buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip DOWNLOAD THIS ONE
When the file is unzipped, there are 4 files - No Buildprop folder. Now I get the part about putting the two .sh files into Gscript folder.
Do I make another folder called buildprop and put build.2.1 and build.2.2 inside?
OR
Do I put build.2.1 and build.2.2 onto the root of the SDCARD?

So sorry lol Didn't notice until I was making the update.zip that I didn't put the other files in a folder IN the zip. Just make a folder on your sdcard called buildprop. and put them in there.
BTW testing the flashable update.zip method right now
thx, seems to work

Right.. the checkin service runs on each reboot. So it is not needed.
Worked just fine, but I did have to do the checkin thing. Possibly had poor signal but checkin hadn't done on reboot. Worked fine after that...

Can the checkin method be used, instead of rebooting? I'd much rather switch back and forth via checkin rather than having to reboot.
Thanks.

The reboot is built into the script. On my phone, if I checkin, the apps still don't show till I reboot. But show if I only reboot. If checkin alone works for you though, you can remove the reboot command from the script.
I'm not sure what happened, but after following the instructions exactly, my phone crapped. It got as far as the first nexus logo (non-animated), then the buttons lit up and I got a black screen. And that's how it stayed.
Any ideas?
This worked great for me I also solved my (unrelated) prob with SlideIt by forcing the dictionary to save in the settings, so I'm no longer bothered about losing shortcuts stuff on a reboot.
Dandy!!
tested again with a second n1. works perfect! automated checkin works perfect.
Can you please post what changed in the .prop file.
Also you didn't add the video codecs in the "new" prop file

The only thing I changed from the stock to the "modded" build.prop were these 2 lines
from this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF50 38042 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys
to this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys
I didn't add anything else to these. If you would like other things added to the build.prop files. You are welcome to edit them yourselves, or let me know what things you want changed, and I can include them.
I can make it user friendly. With descriptions for each modded line, then you can simply un-comment the options that you want.
PS: I thought I had the flashable update ready, but the update-script is giving me problems. ANYONE that wants to help please let me know. I'd really like to get this out to everyone.

To anyone that can't get thier phone to boot all the way after doing this
Its not a big deal. Your phone booted. But the build.prop didn't get copied before the reboot.
If you did a nandroid before you tried it. Restore that!
If you didn't, OR you know how to use adb. Do this
Code:
adb remount
adb push [COLOR="red"]/path/to/build.2.1(or)build.2.2[/COLOR] /system/build.prop
adb reboot
I hope to have this fixed quickly.
ANYONE WHO'S PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AFTERWARDS!
Check and make sure you put the files in the right place.
build.2.2
&
build.2.1
go in
build.prop FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD
that was the only reason I got the error, i deleted the files off my card when i was testing the flashable update.
If you still get an error. open both files in the gscript folder, and remove or comment out the reboot line. Then tell me what error you get in gscript.
So I did this and am able to see the new apps. When I reboot the phone I cannot see a bunch of old apps in my launcher. I revert to the normal script and reboot again and still cannot see a bunch of my apps. Appbrain says theyre installed and I can open them from there but no widgets or shortcuts for them Any Ideas?

Are those apps moved to the SD by any chance? If so, best bet is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Find your launcher, and force stop it. Should work after that.

Nope they're not on SD. I'll try the fc of launcher.
Ok it worked thank you! but my xiia widget still is not back and I'm assuming others. Anything I can do for the widgets?
Ok installed and reinstated the app. Works great thx again.
Update:
Ok after another reboot, apps don't show again. FC the launcher they come back but not the widgets.. Grrrrrr...
Any here that can pull the framework-res.apk from their phone and post it here? I wanna chamge some color tones on my missy's phone in the weekend here where she is gone, and offcause she took the phone with her before i had a chance to pull the file myself..
Any that can help?
For the mini or the mini pro?
Here's at least the one for Mini Pro: mediafire.com/?48w5y9d7sj2pxa8
Would be really nice if you could share the result with us as well (or at least let us know if it worked).
It is actually for the X10 Mini, not the pro i need, but ill look into the file and see if they are compatible..
Basicly, the easy way to get the blue menu away is simply make a script in Photoshop that desaturate the pictures. They will get a nice gray look with a simple click.. Ill try making that and repost the file.
What ive been reading, but not tested myself yet, is that you edit the pictures to what ever you feel they should look without changing size X by Y and merge them back into the apk with winzip, winrar, b2z or whatever you are using to look into the apk with. Then you don't need to sign the file again and you can push it back to your phone..
Ill keep you posted.. Thanks again for the file..
Meep meep..
You must have root on your phone and you use this at your own risk. The file is for X10 Mini Pro. No idea if it works on non pro...
So, i pulled the blue colors from all the pictures.
Make a backup of the /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your device first..
The files are back in the apk and should be uploaded to your /system/framework folder on your phone.
Change permissions on the file to 755 and reboot your device.
Sould now all be gray instead of blue..
mediafire.com/?l1b1g8ykp1j05ij
Let me know of your experiences..
Meep meep..

Here it is, firmware is E10i 1.6 1.0.A.1.37 (X10 mini black)
Could you port the linked theme I mentioned in gray theme thread ?
I can upload rest of themed files i.e. Contacts,Calendar,Messaging etc.
P.S. not much reason backing up original file if you gonna try changing it. If file won't work you will end up with sony-ericsson white writting on the screen and you should flash with Windows SE Update Service (press home+back together, than power button when asked to connect phone). Titanium backup is the way to restore settings.
Changing file back won't be possible cause "su" crashes in this mode, so /system is not re-mountable and thus u can't copy original file back.
Still, flashing takes less than a minute, and its quite safe to try themes.

But if it works and you still want to change back it would probably be nice to have the original file.
I know that I ask a lot of questions, some of them just a bit bonehead. I really appreciate everyones help here.
So, I finally for 1.4.3 running, rooted it, restored my backup from titanium backup. I have noticed, however, that when Installed my custom resources like SystemUI.apk and framework_res.apk there are a few little bugs here and there in the text it displays...
For instance, when you hit the menu button and it displays the block of buttons for some apps (like ADW / ADW EX and Titanium Backup) the arrow that used to say "More" now says "Allows the Application to set an alarm in an" and then it trails off. Obviously this is a mistake, probably they changed some reference between files in the framework folder. Additionally, the "Set as Default" now displays a bunch of %'s and letters as if, again, some reference is bad.
I like running the current software, these are minor issues. I'm sure they can be fixed, just not sure how. I was kind of stupid and didn't make a backup of my original framework_res.apk and SystemUI.apk files from the Nook after I updated but before I replaced them. Stupid of me, I know. I assumed from the file dates that nothing was changed. So, I can't really go back to the originals until I get it sorted out.
Anyone have any suggestions? If perhaps someone who has updated to 1.4.3 could send me those two files so I could make the mods myself on the new APK files? I'm almost positive it is framework_res.apk that is the culprit.
Does anyone have framework_res.apk from v1.4.3?

Finally got it... Now trying to figure out how to modify it, the contents are a lot different...
I had a Moto X (2013) on LP 5.0.1 and I even though several forums had different ways to paste images from the internet, I could typically figure it out. I could always copy a Google Image then paste it generally by putting it between image tags. Anyway now I have a Galaxy S6 5.1.1 and all I can do is copy to a clipboard. When I try to paste nothing really happens. I've done some research on this and there doesn't seem to be a ton of info out there. I know I'm not crazy, there must be others who have experienced this and resolved it.
Please help.
Thank you
Please, to quote Inigo Montoya, "I must know."
If I understand correctly your fix may be to long press the image and select copy image location or possibly view image then copy location. As far as I know some browsers also have a separate image tab on your pop up after the long press. Hopefully this helps.

Simply responding helps, I'm a little surprised at the lack of response. I finally was able to post a pic from Google images to a forum but it took a lot if extra steps that I guess I have to learn. What was once a very simple process is now very involved.
OLD WAY:
Long press image, click copy icon, long press on forum page, click paste icon.
Depending on the forum there may be another step or two but that was forum specific.
NEW WAY:
Long press image, save image (download), forget long press on forum page because nothing happens, click on upload a file, search for file in downloads, click on file, upload.
I've only done this on one forum, I guess all others are similar.
