There are several ways to change your function of Walkman button on the top of Live With Walkman...
I will guide you to change it into your desire function in easy way even you are a noob...
The things you must have are:
1. Rooted WT19i phone
2. Root explorer
3. Dream Keys app [ Play Store Link ]
install the Dream Keys and follow the steps:
1. Open Root Explorer, go to /system/usr/keylayout/
2. Open the File named "pm8058-keypad.kl" using Text Editor
3. You will see the file like this
# this corresponds to kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm/keypad-coconut.c
#
# defines for values are in frameworks/base/include/ui/KeycodeLabels.h
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
# KEY_HOME
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
# CAMERA Related Key
key 212 CAMERA
key 528 FOCUS
# WALKMAN key
key 200 VENDOR_1
4. Change the most bottom :
# WALKMAN key
key 200 VENDOR_1
become like this :
# WALKMAN key
key 200 CALL
5. Save it when you done changing it [ don't worry because the original file will be backed up while you successfully save it as "pm8058-keypad.kl.bak" ]
6. Open Dream Keys setting in your app drawer, choose Setup Call Button and Check the Action >>> Launch an application
7. Press the Select an application, and choose what application you would like to choose... :fingers-crossed: for example, I choose PowerAmp application.
8. Save and Reboot
9. Try press the Walkman button and it will show to choose "Dream Keys" and "Phone"
10. Check "always perform this action" and choose Dream Keys
11. Done. for this case, because earlier I choose PowerAMP, now the Walkman will open PowerAmp :highfive:
To make it back to its original function, go to Setting > App > Dream Keys > Clear data and default setting, then replace the "pm8058-keypad.kl" with the one you already backed up earlier... :fingers-crossed:

If you want to change the function of the camera button to take screenshots, it has to be concerned with a screenshot app...
But basically, from ICS, Live with Walkman has its own screenshot with an easy way, so I suggest it is not really necessary to change it...

You can find it in Play Store, pal... Type "Dreamkeys"
I can't upload it since it against the rules.. any application that doesn't concern with my authority should not be shared.. especially if the author of the application is charging the application with some prices.. Just regards the developers..
Can i change the function of the táctil keys? Or only physical buttons?

I'm afraid it is only for physical button because Dreamkeys basically for camera, volume, and other physical buttons...

I never use the camera button on my streak so I want to change it so it would be useful to me (maybe locking auto rotate or assigning a task killer program to it for instant memory). Any have any ideas on how to do this and/or do you want to change the action of your camera button?
You can use buttonremapper to reassign the camera key (but it will no longer be a camera key, even if you are using the camera app or something like vignette). You need root for this- I have it as media pause/play
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
you can use 2 apps to make use of both the keys
1. Button remapper
2. then launch key
I use 'tasker' , it have camera button clicked event .

Hi all Mini Pro users!
One big problem. Seems no Search button in Mini Pro. It's useful for assigning Program shortcut to each hardware key called "quick launch". For me it's my main reason to have a sliding qwerty and more useful than typing itself.
Have anybody tried a workaround for it?
thanks
Well in theory it will only work with the android keyboard not with se input. We dont have source code to change that. But for android keyboard it could be possible but then you would lose your keybinding again. Or the app launches everytime you press the button :-(

That's a disaster. The upcoming Xperia PRO neither have search button too. But I saw a Globe button in its keyboard. Can a search button be mapped in it?
i think the globe button will launch a browser, but this again will be implemented in sonys input method. which we won't get sources for i suppose I actually wanted this to a combo like pushing the blue button + W for browser or something

I believe the Globe button is for changing Language similar to Globe button in Vivaz Pro.
I remapped the globe button to search, using this tutorial:
http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/thread/28665
To do the hack:
1. Root your phone
2. Edit the /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl file by changing the following line to the end:
key 368 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
3. Restart your phone and enjoy the ability to easily search in K-9 Mail or the SMS app simply by pressing the "globe" key!!
For the x10 mini pro:
If you don't use the default keyboard and the "Sym" button does the same thing as the blue button,
to remap the sym key to search, you have to edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/mimmi_keypad.kl and change the line:
key 216 ALT_RIGHT(or RIRHT_ALT, I don't remember) WAKE_DROPPED
to
key 216 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
Quick Launch Settings

For using the Quick Launch setting, use the above modification.
Once u do that, you will see the option called "quick launch settings" in the settings>applications.
If you are using Custom ROM/ ICS you are likely not to find it.
In that case:
1. Install Apex or Nova Launcher.
2. On the home screen of either Apex/Nova Launcher, click on settings>add>activities
3. Goto Settings>Qucik Launch (the first one)
There you go, you have the quick launch setting as shortcut in ur apex/nova home launcher.
Don't forget to thank me, if this helped you.
Hi there, just want to know how i would go about assigning the camera to the home button double click action?
I have searched and found a lot of old threads but not much else, forgive me if this has been posted recently, and please be so kind to link me to the correct thread.
I am running stock Android GB 2.3.4
with Kernel version XWKI4 (CF-root)
I do not want to change roms because i do not want to re-install all my apps and games (I am very low on data/cap).
Also is there a way to use my one of volume keys as a "shutter" key?
So is there any way I can do what i am requesting?
Thanks
No need to change ROM there is an app on the market

Download Home2 Shortcut from the market
That application is listed as "not working" on S2 from the creator of the app, I'm guessing because of the stock double-click function our phone has.
You can assign a different app to double-clicking the home button with homeMYhome from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299923

If that is the only reason you don't want to switch ROMs I would suggest looking into titanium backup as a way of backing up and recovering your apps/games and data without worrying about your data cap.

change this line in /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl
Code:
# WALKMAN key
key 200 VENDOR_1
search function: (source)
Code:
# WALKMAN key
key 200 SEARCH
music app: (opens apollo in cm9)
Code:
# WALKMAN key
key 200 MUSIC
Recent Apps(i use this one and find it very useful)
Code:
# WALKMAN key
key 200 APP_SWITCH
Play/pause media
Code:
# WALKMAN key
key 200 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
Now Reboot, and it should take effect.
anything else then mention in comments, i'll add it.
i tried the app switch thing but it didnt work...

How about long-press for walkman key?
make it to launch an app?
How to make it to launch an app like PowerAmp?
In CM 7 we can edit like this
Code:
# WALKMAN key
key 200 SEARCH
and then some tweaking in CyanogenMod setting made in possible and really liked it! :good:
But can't do the same in CM 9, cause cant find the 'Search Key Behavior' setting.
Is there a way? Also, is it possible to minimize the app when pressed again just like in Stock OS?
So I suppose it should work on other ROMS too, is that right?

I tried this, hoping I can make whatever app (infact, my fav music app) to open by pressing walkman button....
Code:
# WALKMAN key
key 200 PLAYERPRO
and it actually works, the PLAYERPRO app is not open to foreground, but starts playing music. It's icon is seen in the notification bar.
Unfortunately the HOME button stopped working :crying:
Here, any app (that we introduce) thats in /system/app folder will open, but renders the HOME button useless, why is that so?

You might have broken your .kl file. If so, your phone will refer to Generic.kl instead, where key 200 is assigned to function MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE (also known as the headset button). This was the case for me, and I had to reflash the stock ROM after making the s̶t̶u̶p̶i̶d mistake of editing (and thereby breaking) Generic.kl as well.
To minimize the risk of breaking it (you will never be 100% safe when modifying system files), export it via ADB and edit in Notepad++ or PSPad before importing it back to your phone.
How to use Walkman button as Recent APPs & small apps launcher ,just like long press HOME button ?

I also got the same idea and the same problem after I install cm9.1. My original mod:
#WALKMAN key
key 200 PLAYERPRO MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
and reboot. Then I realize the error it cause and I change the line back to:
#WALKMAN key
key 200 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
and reboot. The home button work normally and the walkman button can play/pause PlayerPro when pressed even when sleep. Hope this helps
I'm sure i'm not the only one who hate that ...
Actually it's a bug in my point of view, can't take screenshots in call screen, when u press Power Button, it ends call (nasty thing)
Well, now we have a fix for those who want ...
Here is what you gonna do !
1. Open Root Explorer, navigate in system/usr/keylayout
2. Open "qwerty.kl" with Open Text Editor (press and hold on qwerty.kl)
3. U will see this line "key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
4. Go ahead and modify it like this " key 107 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
5. Save changes, u can safely delete "qwerty.kl.bak"
6. Reboot phone and that's it !
Enjoy !
