Earlier I've posted about losing my keychar and keylayout folders but however downloading some files and folders from the internet and from other (non-samsung phones) my keys started working...However my home key, back key, the power keys doesn't work! Please help.
I probably think that some files are missing from my system folder (keychar and keylayout folder)
I do not want to re-install my android once again so kindly help me out please (I do not have backups either)

(the marked buttons arenot working.)
Please help with the files or anything which will help to get the phone back to work normally.
Samsung Galaxy Chat GT-B5330
Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Portland ICS ROM
Rooted
QWERTY
Why don't you just take the folders from the original rom?
Or why don't you simply reflash the rom?

Hi there,
I upgraded my Galaxy 551 to Gingerbread 2.3.6. All went well. Unfortunately it seems to be a common side effect that the Z and Y keys (and some others) get swapped. The fix is apparently to modify the file /system/usr/keychars/sec_keypad.kcm.bin. The ideal thing is to put the old file from before the FW update back in, but of course I don't have that anymore! But the existing one can apparently be altered. If I can copy it to the SD card I can alter it in a hex editor and put it back.
So, I rooted my phone with that one click application, and that went OK too. I installed root explorer and found the file. There were also some others in the same folder I may be able to use. But, I cant make the folder R/W (pressing the button does nothing) so cant do anything with the file. I also tried Super Manager with no luck.
I am new to the phone fiddling stuff so noob level instructions would be appreciated!
Think I have it sorted. I installed superuser and then Root Explorer allowed me to select read/write. Now to try sort out this file!
OK, seems that you need to edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keypad.kl. Did that. DO'H now my keyboard doesn't work at all! Glad it saved a backup for me! Not sure what I did wrong, only edited two characters in a text file! Even the power button doesn't work. Got to pull that battery out LOL!
It seems when the file was saved it was saved with zero size. When I try to delete it to replace it with the backup it says cant delete, read only. So, not sure how I am meant to replace this and fix this problem.
Any ideas, remembering that I cant actually use any buttons on the phone!

I tried this today, but instead of making walkman button as search button I tried to make it open POWERAMP.
But after that, I noticed that my home button stopped working
So I tried to replace the original file back, but it didn't worked
Then I tried to edit Generic.kl file, but after that now my keys doesn't work at all (including volume buttons, camera button, home button...)
I replaced all files back, made cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, made settings reset but still nothing works.. :/
Can someone help me? (I don't want to wipe all data in my phone)

What ROM are you on? I doubt that simply putting Poweramp would do the trick for the Walkman button.
NOTE: On the WT19i, the only file you need to modify is pm8058-keypad.kl
1) Restore those files you modified : If you used Root Explorer to change those files, you can restore the originals simply from the .BAK files that RootExplorer creates by default. If not, simply copy those .KL files from your ROM's ZIP. (You may use some root explorer to copy the files that you modified. Make sure that permissions are properly set: rw-r--r--)
2) Goto: /system/usr/keylayout/ The only file you need to modify is pm8058-keypad.kl. Do not modify any other file. In front of key 200,(walkman key) write SEARCH. Save and exit. If you're on Cyanogenmod 7, from Cyanogenmod Settings, you can change the Search key behavior to launch a custom app(just look around the menus)
3)On CM9, this feature is not available(however you can still use predefined actions such as SEARCH or MUSIC(which will launch Apollo).
Mod is working great but these touch wiz keys are disgusting looking especially when the menu key shows up. It moves all the buttons out of order.
Does anyone know of a way to flash the stock Android buttons. Thank you!!
Pretty sure all you have to do is replace tw_navigationbar back home menu and recent both pressed and hormal with the stock ones and recompile the apk then you could either put it on your phone and put it in with a file explorer or you could try making a flashable zip.
ok where would i find these files?
If you know how to use adb you can use the adb pull command to pull the framework-res.apk which is where you'll find the files if you don't you can use a file explorer to copy them to your sd card or somewhere that you can find them then you would need to decompile them then replace the files I mentioned above with the stock ones
ok so i did it through root explorer. inside the franwork apk. i went to res/drawable, res/drawable-hdpi and res/drawable-xhdpi. these three folders all contained the files u said like tw_navigationbar_back_normal and one that says pressed instead of normal. png files. Do I just replace these pngs with the stock ones or is there more to this? Thanks
I've been running my xperia Z2 for a month or two now and one of the first things I did was disable the camera button, and attempt to rebind it to a different button in the .kl files within system/usr/keylayout. Initially, it worked great. I commented out the key 212 camera in a few files with a #, and added a new line.
It's been a month or so since then and I hadn't been using the camera button and all, and recently I've noticed that the kl file changed back in one of my restores to just being commented out, so the camera button is now non functional. I attempted to add a line of code to change the camera to media next like this: key 212 MEDIA_NEXT, but was getting no response after restarting my phone. I removed the line, deleted the comment on the previous line in every file that I had disabled it in, and restarted the phone. Camera is still non functional even after confirming it stayed unchecked.
After this, I attempted to copy all of the files to my SD card and mass edited every single camera key reference to media_next for the sake of testing, and the button was still disabled. I completely purged my .kl files, and uploaded notepad++ edited copies and restarted my phone. None of my buttons worked. I did a restore from my SD card backup, and nothing worked after restarting, still. I did a backup from a TWRP backup and everything is functional again... however, I'm left wondering why my .kl files might not be reading.
I apologize for the long post, but I'm trying to understand where I've went wrong. I'm on a stock bell rom(canadian) firmware 4.4.2 model D6503 build 17.1.A.2.55. I'm rooted, with only minimal modifications to the device(cydia substrate, xposed framework using rootcloak, youtube adaway, a radio modification to allow headphoneless scanning and xposed additions).
Does anyone know where I might've went wrong? My end goal is to rebind a controller's R2(simple button) controller to the R2 axis as well as button press, so if anyone has any information on rebinding a key to a maxed out axis I would appreciate information on that as well(Eg. R2 key 105 to RTrigger 1.0 + key 105).
Not sure
Perhaps copy a working existing file and try from there
I had trouble understanding your problem

I've restored a CRM backup and the .kl files all work great, but when I attempt to modify the files they don't seem to update any system functions or buttons unless I'm just disabling the button. Even if I copy the file to another directory, break all the buttons then overwrite it with the copy and restart, the buttons stay disabled until I restore a CRM recovery.
I hope that's a little easier to read, the phone just doesn't seem to update its internal system with button definitions except to disable them, and I'm trying to figure out why.

Just a thought, not pretty sure.
When you are copying files from sd-card, you should also check for correct permissions.
Your permissions must match with original files, otherwise it may create an issue.

Hello guys!
Can someone help me solve my problem?
I ported a ROM to my device. But there are stock button actions from port device.
I tried to replace whole Keylayout folder to fix it, but it's still the same..
How can I remap my buttons? I tried to edit Generic.kl, but the keys are still from port device.
my back button action is to go back.
my middle hardware button action is to go back (I want it to go home) and on long click is recentapp (I want search)
my recentapp button (on the right side) action is to go to the menu (apps menu) but I want it to see recent apps.
It strange that I replaced whole Keylayout folder from my stock ROM with all files inside and it's still the same..
Is there any other LIB or file that should I replace?
