does anybody know how to do this? it's kinda annoying having to switch between android keyboard and the physical keyboard just for an underscore (_)..
Dude sorry but I gotta laugh at you. If i understand you correctly you want to now where is the underscore button in your x10mp? try hitting the sym(bol) in the lower right most of you KB
i know. that symbol doesnt do ****, except act as a right arrow key, like the one next to it. Im using minicm9 by naa btw.
I'm using mini cm9. for me it's at C (normally is in that place, I have a greek x10 mini pro). I mean "blue button" and then "C" (for the android keyboard as an input). I had changed the "keyboard layout" and "keyboard keyprint" to "latin-on-greek".
The setting is in "settings">"advanced". You could try different configurations.
You could also change to the default input method (for which "Sym" key works normally).
When writing somewhere pull down the notification bar and press on "select input method". There you can choose "default input".
cant we add underscore to the C? the latin-on-greek messed up a few key assignments on my phone..
You can try this with the qwerty-en layout, but you have to edit a system file.
So:
1. MAKE A BACKUP (just in case)
2. Go to /system/usr/keychars.
3. Open with text editor the file mimmi_keypad.kcm
4. Find these lines:
key C{
label: 'C'
base: 'c'
shift, capslock: 'C'
alt: none
shift+alt, capslock+alt: none
}
5. Change alt: none to alt: '_'
6. Save the file and change permissions to rw- r-- r-- (I'm not sure if the second part is necessary)
7. Reboot your phone
8. If it works (i.e. if blue button and then c gives you _) you got yourself an _, if not just restore the backup you made in step 1 and wait for someone else to answer (sorry, I don't know much).
(For the steps I described I used "es file explorer" with "root explorer" and "mount file system" settings enabled. I guess you can use whatever you like with some small changes.)
(Obviously you can set "_" to whatever letter you like, I actually tried with "a" and "x")
this is awesome. thanks!

my problem is after i edit, save&exit, the "WAKE_DROPPED" can't be removed or cant edit at all. Why? How come this rom won't allow me to edit es209ra_keypad.kl file?
i'm using root explorer ver 2.16,Click on the button ‘Mount R/W’ ,set permission rw-r--r--
Hope some1 can help. TQ
maybe copy your file to pc, edit it with notepad ++ or something & copy it back to your phone in its original location & overwrite the existing file & set the permissions?
thanks!! It's work with ur method. But it also disable the long press to on the torch as well. That's ok for me.
Hi all, I'm a noob here on xda but I've been playing around with our Ace for a lot of time! I open this thread to share with you a little trick that I really can't find anywhere in the internet, so I hope it can helps you, sorry for my English.
First, did you ever tried a lockscreen replacement app on stock roms and noticed that everytime you put your phone in the pocket and press the volume buttons accidentally (or just to turn up the music's volume), the screen turns on? Well, for a lot of people it's a good thing, not judging, but what if like me you hate that thing and want to fix it? The only lockscreen replacement app that do it natively is WidgetLocker Lockscreen, but what if an app like GO Locker/MIHome/MILocker or any other lockscreen replacement app has a theme that we like a lot and cannot replicate on the teslacoil's app? Then here's the fix:
Notice: you need to have a rooted phone and a root file manager like Root Explorer (suggested) to make this happen
[1] With the file manager, navigate to /system/usr/keylayout;
[2] Open the file "qwerty.kl" with a text editor (should be integrated in the file browser app, if not copy the file on your sdcard, copy it on your PC and then edit it on your PC, next you have to restore the edited file in its original location, setting permissions to rw-r--r--)
[3] In qwerty.kl, find these lines:
"key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE"
"key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE"
and delete the "WAKE" so they looks like "key 115 VOLUME_UP" and
"key 114 VOLUME_DOWN"
[4] Save the file (and if you modified it from pc, copy it back to /system/usr/keylayout and set permission like explained on step 2
[5] Do the same with "sec_key.kl" (only the key 115 VOLUME_UP and key 114 VOLUME_DOWN lines, remember)
[6] Reboot your phone
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO DISABLE WAKE EVEN WHEN YOU USE THE MICROPHONE BUTTON ON ORIGINAL SAMSUNG EARPHONES
[A] Edit the AVRCP.kl file deleting every "WAKE" from the file
Edit the sec_jack.kl file, scroll down to the bottom and delete the WAKE from the line "key 226 HEADSETHOOK WAKE"
Guess that's all, hope this thread isn't against forum rules or useless, so hope it helped
My Setup:
- clean installed sloane-5.2.1.0-rooted_r2 Image
- xposed-v86-sdk22-arm64.zip
- open_gapps-arm64-5.1-pico-20160710.zip
- Google Playstore (Copy a working Phonesky.apk to /System/priv-app/Phonesky and chmod 644)
- XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
- HDXposed.apk
- Secure Settings
- Tasker
- Settings.apk from FireTuner
- Null Keyboard
1. Install Xposed+Installer, Tasker, Secure Settings (Dont forget to enable the Module in Xposed) and Null Keyboard
2. Install FireTuner on your PC. Let FireTuner download the Settings.apk.
When FireTuner tries to install the Settings.apk disable your network connection and copy the Settings.apk from %AppData%\Roaming\FireTuner to your Desktop.
Copy the Settings.apk to /System/priv-app/Settings on your FireTV2 and chmod 644
3. Activate Null Keyboard in Settings.apk
Attention!! There is no Mouse cursor in the Settings.apk, you have to try and hope that you hit the right settings
4. Open Tasker and Create a new Event "Monitor Start"
5. Create a new Task named "TaskerAccessibilityService"
6. Edit the created Task: Choose Plugin==>Secure Settings==>System+ Actions==>Accessibility Services and enable Tasker:MyAccessibilityService
7. Create a New Profile named "AltKeyboard" and choose your desired application
8. Create a new App Task named "StartAltKeyboard" and choose:
Plugin==>Secure Settings==>System+ Actions==> Input Method select "Null Keyboard" and save
9. Create a Exit Task named "StopAltKeyboard" (click on the green Arrow) choose:
Plugin==>Secure Settings==>System+ Actions==>Input Method, select "FireTV IME - Englisch (US)" and save.
Your FireTV will now switch to Null Keyboard in your chosen application and switch back to standard in other Applications.
This works pretty good. Thanks for the write up, been a while since I have used tasked/secure settings.
