All,
Can anyone provide me the tweak or registry key to allow for me to continue typing on the thumb board while on a phone call? (Presently while talking, the system defaults to the number pad while talking)
Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a couple threads about changing the default keyboard config, but not for this one directly.
Thanks,
Bob

what rom r u using
Using AP4, had the same issue with AP 3.0 as well. I assume that they would be different registry keys, but any help would be appreciated...

Interesting, so when you are in a call and you type an SMS or email at the same time, the "Y U I H J K B M N ." keys don't type numbers in their place? I would love to have the letters instead of only numbers. The numbers are a help in 2% of the cases, but for the most part, I want to type notes about phone calls and without having the thumb board working, I am stuck with the touchscreen and it is much slower for me.
Either way, I appreaciate your help

i just tested to confirm and yes that is correct. i was on a call and i hit notes and started typing and it types letters not numbers. i am looking at the reg files now
i used windiff to see if i could find a difference but there were sooooo many i could not find it sorry.
Thank you
Does anyone else have any ideas on how to set the keyboard mode while talking on the phone?
Thanks,

I'm using original spanish ROM WM6 and I have the same problem.
Me too
Let's bump this thread up the date sort:
AP 3.0, still. I can't get letters with the kbd at all when in a call, so I end up using an on-screen, or translating whatever I typed after the call. It sucks. I thought the active prg would dictate what happens with the keys. ???
I must admit the convenience of the automatic switch when in the phone app is nice.
I'm not getting why some units do this and some don't, or if it might be that people aren't using thier keyboards during a call in a different app.
Reg key? Any better ideas?

On screen keyboard or hardware keyboard? On screen works fine, hardware not since WM6.
its important to me, i would love to type using thumb keyboard while talking, i can confirm that vanilla version of 6.1 does that too but its a beta rom and i like AP4, maybe the athena project people can inlight us about this matter and creat a patch for us to use
for importancy am trying to keep this up, guys its doable, someone is required to just lead us, at least someone post me a clean (hard reseted) registery from a rom that works during call normally, and i will install it on my mobile (which doesn't type letters during call) if it works then at leaset we know its defenatly registry and there for i dedicate my life for it. any clean registry anyone can supply
PS am willing to Hard reset but not willing to reflash another rom am very tried from that business

If this drives you that nuts, then maybe you wouldn't mind doing a bit of investigation and sharing that with us?
Take a look at this registry key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyboardMapping
There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!
Dialer/Dialer skine deppendent
It also could be that it is deppendent on dialer used in your system. Some dialers can switch keybaord to numbers and some can not. It would be nice if those who can write letters during a call could tell us which dialer is in their system.
Possible Path?
HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch
Looks like this could be the ticket, will try to mess around with it and see if it makes any difference

it didn't work for me
Right now I'm doing a little research (in my spare time) on adapting the keypad drivers that work on Vogue to also work on HTC Nike. Ducamie got me interested and sent me the files I needed, I poked around here and there and got overly enthousiastic PM-ing him a big bunch of text with maybe 2 words that actually made sense.
However, I think now I have the faintest clue of what to do:
Figure out GPIO codes for keys that are the same on both 16 and 20 key version (the dpad, the call buttons, camera button, power button and volume button should be the same I guess) using HaRET.
Adapt keymapping of board-htcvogue.c (since that's the one we use on our Niki devices?).
Find out additional keys (I can only do this for 16-key version as it's the only Niki I've got), and map those (maybe in board-htcvogue.c as well, maybe need to look at board-kaiser-keypad.c for that).
If anyone knows that I'm going at it all wrong, please tell me
Also, if anyone by any chance already had a run at the Niki and got the GPIO info I need, please do let me know.
I'm not new at programming but I am new at this kind of programming, so all sorts of things might go wrong or I might end up not getting there at all, but my goal is to make everything public, no matter where I get.
So even if I end up only getting the GPIO codes for the keys, if I fail writing the actual driver, the next developer will not need to get those codes and can get his hands on programming immediately.
I hope I am making sense, and I hope we'll be able to fix this driver ASAP, so we can actually try out Android without having to reboot to get back to the homescreen
There is not much interest in android on the dual - I have no idea why you guys arnt flooding the android threads with even idle curiosity.
Anyway, Graey, im glad you got the files and pretty much worked out what to do (sounds right to me). Have you had any luck with haret? Ive had it running in the past, logging key events but only jargon came out, i couldnt correlate between the event logs and key events in the code or see any pattern.
I can have another attempt if you like at the getting the gpio's or could help you set haret up if you have a linux box? i believe it can work via windows too but i only had luck with linux.
Let me know!

Well, ofcourse I have a Linux box, my main box is linux, I only use my windows laptop (which sadly enough doesn't run Linux right) to flash ROMs and in be .
It seems though that you already know a bit more about haret than I do, so if you could have another go at getting gpio's, that'd be great. And ofcourse on the long run it would be interesting for me to get haret up and running as well
Now I might seem to have a clue as to what to do, but currently that's just about it, I like to poke around in things and sometimes it results in something useful
I'll see what i can find! Dont hold your breath though.
would be awesome ducamie! i'd really love to see android running without problems on this htc device anyway: anyone got the new sdk running? it's posted on vogue site... replace android.zip in download link with android-new.zip... it freezes all the time for me... i got it to boot already, but i end up in a command prompt...

as you will see in the bootloader it says at the bottom "failed to mount sd card". this is because the new sdk is too large to boot from the phone memory so the vogue guys have it booting from the sd card. for this to work we will need a custom sd driver for the nike in our kernel.
Ok... I hope we'll get them soon anyway; where's jerpelea? Is he still working on the drivers?
ok, after lots of playing around this is the best i can get .
i realise some of these gpios are the same and i dont have a clue why - i dont think ive done anything wrong, so sorry if this is not what you need, but this is what haret was outputting for gpios.

side volume buttons (both)

I'm working on fixing some keymapping on the polaris android build and need to check the GPIO for the OK button. Any idea on where I can go to find out how to do this?
Hello.
I've searched the forum and found no answer to this question. And Android 2.2 is coming/not coming/ coming/ maybe coming, so
is there any way to end call with a key, either power or one of three function keys? Android 2.1.
I will root my phone if it is necessary, no problem.
And if someone knew, how to make calls hands-free with bluetooth... Let's say it, as a business phone my X10mini pro is a disaster, comparing to my previous Nokia N95...
Thanks
A.
I'd love to have a solution for this.

Not sure but may be Tasker can do it. I have a gesture so that when I put the phone face down, it disconnect from the data network and also hangs the current call. Not sure about doing through a key, but I bet that it's possible.

Damn.. sorry bout that.. I wonder what the difference is.. perhaps you could ask the DEV who made it to include the pro.. or ask him what he is changing to make the power button end the call..
He is editing some file for sure. Let's hope he will reveal it.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Resolved:
For X10 mni pro.
In file "system/usr/keylayout/mimmi_keypad.kl" change this line:
key 107 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
with this:
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
For X10 mini change the file
"/system/usr/keylayout/robyn_keypad.kl"
REBOOT!
change pwer key function
im on mini pro also,,is it possible to alter that txt with root explorer ,,? thanks
edit sorry does work after reboot,,,
By the way, after this modification the button continues to work for putting the phone into the sleep mode as well!

Sure. But what it does it changes the line that I quoted. In fact the information comes from ADB developer

Yep, I know that, I asked the ADB mask DEV in the same thread you did and he answered us both in the same post I'm just saying that the ADB mask controller is quicker (for mini users) and can do a bunch of other stuff too.. (pretty much everything can be done with adb, txt editors and root explorer but its always nice having a GUI to speed things up/simplify things)

It seems like it is able to map all buttons except the power and the focus... could try to make an x10 version. ill look into it. the dev seems a bit occupied at the moment, i'll put a 'SE x10 minis not fully working" post.

My phone after installed the android rom..all things run well...
but...only the power button works but not others...it may be due to different model of a Hong Kong Phone from Europe/ US phone...anyway to give the keys back functions that they should have? thanks
Go to Spare Parts, and change the power key to home.
You should search first... Thx. Also, post in the ROM/Build thread!! That way we know what you're using, instead of having to guess...
Yes, I searched, peoples using spare part as well... but I just seen End button behaviour only in Spare Parts...no other keys...so I wonder whether there is any other methods.?
sorry for making such thread

Oh, I thought you only wanted to change the end call key.
If you want to change around other buttons, you'll have to hack at the source. Depends on what you're running - on HaRET, you'd need to modify the keymaps in the rootfs. On NAND, I'm guessing the keymaps in /system/etc. Either way, this isn't something that's easily done nor recommended.
Maybe an app like this.

Well it does say, "As can be expected, the application requires complete root access, with a NAND unlocked device and complete, permanent write access to the system directory."
This is where you have to start to do a little research on your own.

I need help bypassing the google verification, many of the methods I have seen are not doable with the keyboard this phone has. Anyone done this successfully?
it is a challenge that is for sure. One of the best frp lockout i have ever seen. If not the best, no java script, stubborn ass key board, hell even has it's own clipboard menu and limited talk-back gesture settings. Real term don't work. It's as if they watched every frp tutorial and took notes.
