Hello, I have just installed the latest NAND rom package (updated on 15-03-13) on my Telus RHOD500 and I'm having troubles with the power button (the button on top of the phone).
It's not mapped to anything once booted to Android. I mean I can access the recovery by pressing the Power button in miniPooploader so I know the key is not broken.
In android, quick pressing does not shut down the screen, long-pressing does no bring up the power menu and to wake the device up I have to use the End key.
A few times between boots when I would quick-press the power key it'll pop up the shutdown menu but now it's not doing anything.
I've installed Android Tuner, ES task manager and SetCPU on second reboot so these are the 2 application I installed that could come into problem before I noticed the problem. Uninstalling them doesn't do any good.
Also, where could I change the physical keyboard keymap? I got the underscore symbol mapped to letter "B" where it should be "P". It's not the only one of course but I don't find this too irritating so it's just a side-question like that.
Anyway thanks in advance!

You have to open the boot.img and edit the keyboard maps inside the ramdisk there to make them stick.
Look around post 47-50 for some ideas on what to edit.

Alright thank you. That will be good for the keyboard issue. Could it also fix the power button issue? Is the mapping of the keyboard is related to the mapping of other buttons?
So where can I find the boot.img file? Thanks!

Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
i removed the task manager from my fascinate because i don't use it and the phone works well without it, now i just noticed that when i long press the home button to switch between running apps, there is also a "task manager" button that well... brings up the task manager, how can i get rid of that button? i mean what is the file that brings that pop up screen with the apps running when you long press the home button?
please help guys, thanks.
Hey there
this is not my phone, its my friends phone
So phone's back button and recent apps aren't working.
He said he didn't do anything nor did the phone fall.
Phone is not rooted.
Any idea on how to fix it ?
Or any alternative softwares for recent apps and back button ?
@MJ999:
Back-function by tap on right capacitive button?
Recents by long tap on hardware-home-button?
So simple home and left menu-button work?

To ask again: One swift tap on the hardware home button (= home) works fine?
I'm not aware of any app to replace these functions that work without root. With root you could use e.g. LMT Launcher and use it to simulate the button pushes.

It's the capacitive touch that isn't working, it doesn't illuminate.
He is saying he got an app from Play store, but only limited to back button.
On the keypad type *#0*# to open the factory test menu and press "subkey". The screen will go black. Now press the menu and back capacitive buttons. If the screen changes colour you have an os issue. If the screen stays black you have a hardware fault.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
I have installed the newest Malaysk ROM on my HU. On the picture attached you can see the Advanced Power Menu like it should be. In my case there is only Reboot after long pressing the button on the top right. Does it belong to the launcher? If I am pressing the button only short my device turns black, but the knobs are still lightning (also you can hear the radio). It seems that the device is hanging up so I had to press the reset button.
Also I want to know If its possible to shutdown the unit completely. Without having connected the ACC wire.
I have the same question about the pwer menu. Like you I only get one option.
This guide is for the Note 3 Neo and should work on all variants.
If you're looking at this thread then you should have noticed that the Menu key on @FireLord 's CM12.1 is mapped to MENU and you can't change it from Buttons in Settings since it only has Power Button, Recents Button, Volume Button and Home button and no Menu Button.
Of course, there are a bunch of Xposed Modules such as MenuBegone available to do the same but if you'd rather not install anything or if you just like to mess with your phone then this is the guide to follow
So here's what you to do make your Menu key function as a Recent's key.
Download any Root Brower (I'd suggest the one included in Rom Toolbox)
Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Open the File Generic.kl as a text file
Look for key 139 MENU in the list
Replace MENU with APP_SWITCH
Save and Reboot
Now your Menu key will function as a Recents Key and you'll also be able to change what tapping it and long-pressing it does through Buttons In Settings.
Thanks for the info.
but do you know how to enable vibration on them?

Oh I'm sorry, I'm afraid i don't know about that. All the vibrations are on and it seems only the Soft keys aren't vibrating. I'll fill you in if i do find something out though.
