Hey guys,
Any idea why the keyboard icon sometimes appear on the bottom of my CHT lockscreen? I does not happen on regular basis but it is a bit annoying because it's actually a working button that can be accidentally activated by movement.
I have experienced this on three different ROMs so far. Elegancia and Omega v21 & 22.
And it also looks awful on such tuned-up picture I've got there...
Thanks!
happens to me (and i use the default windows lockscreen.) haven't figured out a solution. tis quite annoying.
I have a feeling that it only appears when there's an app in memory that uses the keyboard. Like email or messaging client and others... I'll give it further testing!
I agree, this is frustrating to deal with. Has anyone found a solution?
i forget what its called exactly, not using winmo, but if you turn off the CHT custom softkeys i think that fixes the unlocked bottom part of lockscreen.
I have seen it very very few times using PocketShield. You might want to try it.
I think everyone gets this........ seems to happen every other time I wake up my phone, gotten so used to it its not even an issue anymore....
Ok guys i'm posting this in a new thread (didn't see another in search sorry if i noobed up and missed it) Me and others have been enjoying HC to it's fullest thanks to the awesome work being done by the DEV teams. But I feel it's time to cut ties with those dreaded capacitive buttons that always get in MY way because they are no longer needed in HC.As we all know button Remapper does not work on HC.
Anyways too the good stuff...after digging around a bit i found this file here:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
This file controls the button mapping, all you have to do is edit the top 4 lines and restart Or i'll include the modified file so you can just push it using Root Explorer.
As of now i will no longer be continuing this, as i'm going to be leaveing XDA for some personal reasons ty all for your replies and i will be leaving this download up.
Edited Download....just rename without the .zip ok guys
So far i've tested this on Flashback 5.5 but please leave feedback if it works on Gtabcomb and 1.1 or 1.2 Boot loaders please.
OK as the title now says KEYBOARD working... it turned out to be an easy fix..
Just change the top lines to (FOCUS). Thank You to the person who shot me the PM to try it out (abentley).
Also as a side note it turnes out that you can use a usb 4in1 to hook up a mouse+keyboard+usb if you guys want...
If you guys like the work i (TRY) to do then hit me a Thanks...my meter is falling to the dark side!!!
gtabcom 1.2 beta 3.2
Working, thanks a lot, I was wondering if possible, hate when accidentally touch any of those cap. Keys.
Thanks for the reply...and also including the Rom your on.
You can put it on xda. just add .zip to the filename. please do that. thanks
Ok OP has been updated Enjoy guys...just remove the .zip
I'm not a coder (at all), but is there a way to turn this into an app so we can easily toggle the buttons on/off? That would be awesome!
My fat fingers thank you
I'd like an auto hide bar "windows" style, maybe unhiding with home or something I don't like to loose screen, 600pix are few enought.

+1
this is a great idea...
well i'm not a coder but yes i agree that this app should be made. <<just a tinkerer.
... my mistake
Worked great in Flashback 6, although I find myself trying to use the hardware buttons from time to time
Do the capacitive buttons still work in recovery? Because I know they're required for CWM and I wouldn't want to do this if it meant giving up CWM for the lame old stock recovery.

To save your pixels and remove honeycomb-statusbar, you can do a force stop of "System UI" from the settings menu, and "system-ui" will automatically restart the status-bar wont reappear (because of an existing bug).
Goto Settings->Applications->ManageApplications->All
Select "System UI"
Force Stop.

anyone verify if this works on gtabcomb yet?
Edit: got root explorer and did it, works great. no more pesky buttons being pushed by accident in the dark, thanks!
Yes so far working on every HC Rom..
Thanks for this info, its really useful.
But I am confused by the following sentence regarding keyboard.

How should I edit that file for keyboard to work? Should I replace word "FOCUS" with "TY botton remepper"? Or should it be "BUTTON_REMAPPER"? I am really not sure whether you mistyped it or what ;-)
Can anyone put this into a flashable zip? I'm not quite sure how to go about edit the file myself.
Thanks.
lol sorry, ya it's worded wierd all you have to do is replace the file with the one i posted...going to be making a flashable one soon so give me a few guys new link will go up.
i'm on wolfbreak's gingerbread rom, 2.3, hotfix 5 with xperia ray launcher.
Everything installed fine and i don't have anything serious to report, except one thing: the power control widget doesn't work.
Whenever i decide to place it on my homescreen, it doens't get into the window which asks which buttons to choose; instead it immediatly place the widget on the screen with 5 blank buttons and that's it.
Some way to fix this? Is there an .apk i can flash to give those power widget buttons? it's bad enough that with this rom there aren't any of those in the scrollable notification bar, my android life really depends on those buttons.
Thanks in advance
You should report this bug here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988

Hi,
sorry if this is the wrong category, couldn't post in any other.
I am trying to replace the call app on my xperia z2 because I really don't like the look and functionality of the stock ui call app. However I wasn't able to find any option to do this (no matter for what device). Does anyone have an idea how to do it? Just to clarify: I am not talking about the dialer but about the screen that pops up if you are actually in a call (with the buttons to hang up, mute etc.).
Any way to theme the stock ui also would suffice. Thanks a lot.
