TV: Sony Bravia X800H
After installing Button Mapper i was hoping to map the worthless Google Play red button to the SmartTube app this way when i press the large red button it then jumps to the more useful app. I find Button Mapper works 50% of the time. I also notice once i tap the button i can see the remote signal constantly transmitting to the television non-stop. I have to tap any other non-mapped button just to get the transmission to stop.
Anyone experience the same issues?
Sony Bravia XH9096 (X900H in US)
I'm having the same issue that you described.
When pressing a color button (for example I've mapped the Red one for Youtube) the app stars but the remote keeps trasmitting to the tv untill I press the remote once more.
Is there a fix for this? Have you solved?
Thanks.

Hi.
I found the programm for button mapping called AE Button Plus It works perfect on the Rose.
You can use it f.e. for display off/on switching, toggle wifi, bluetooth and mapping of all buttons for functions you would like.
Its really, my recomendation!
I tried the app but it broke all the default button mapping, power switch and holding the end key down didnt lock the screen any more, the camera button still works. Do you have any tips on using the software? I dont see a manual or documentation for it.
Thanks.
Has anyone tried this remote?https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00U3PFUAC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A34OAPZOHWTNSP
Does the mic work with Google now? Does the home button take you to launcher home? Can you turn your TV off and change volume,? Cheers

I've tried a few remotes with a few android boxes I've had and this one is the best I've found. I bought the one called 'Aerb' but you'll see a number of resellers on ebay selling the exact same device. It runs on 2 AAA batteries.
What I really really like is that the four coloured buttons on the bottom AND the big red power button on the
top left are learning/programmable IR blasting, so you can program them to turn your TV on/off, change inputs, increase TV volume etc. using your TV remote. The other buttons are not programmable.

This is the best remote by far I have purchased for this box. I am far away from my player right now but I will try and confirm if the mic works with it asap...

Does the home button bring you to the home screen ? And by programming the bottom color buttons to change the volume or do the actual volume buttons work? Also its to bad the buttons don't light up . Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic . Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?

- yes
And by programming the bottom color buttons to change the volume or do the actual volume buttons work?
- you program the coloured buttons on the bottom using your TV remote, so they will turn the volume on your TV up and down, NOT the vol on the android software.
Also its too bad the buttons don't light up.
- no they do not.
Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic .
- *** I cannot seem to get my mic working with voice search. The remote I have purchased has a microphone, but has NO microphone button to enable the mic. There are reports of users who have got their mic working. See here for a picture of a remote with a mic button (the blue one in the bottom right corner) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=203623
Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?
- you do NOT have to point the remote at the dongle. It does not work with line of sight like IR remotes. The distance limit is about 15 metres I'd guess. Farther with better batteries
Using the stock ROM, the following keys work:
home button
play/ pause and FF RW buttons
context menu
OK and d-pad button
keyboard letters
Using stock ROM the following keys DO NOT work for me:
soft volume up/down
mute
microphone doesn't work
BACK key doesn't work (this sucks, it registers as a 'right mouse click' under stock rom - doesn't do anything, must use home key instead. it also doesn't work under lollirock either. Luckily under lollirock the soft 'recent apps, home and back' buttons are always visible, so I just use that soft back arrow on the screen.
all of the 'alt keys' on the keyboard - ie the function keys, ! mark etc. These all work fine under lollirock.
I also have a generic android box running full android 5.1 and almost all of the keys on this remote work fully with it, including the hard back key.
Let me know if you've got any other questions!
I bought an MXQ-4K as for an IPTV STB box. My problem is when, I press the power button , on the remote controller, then the box going to sleep, and did not shutdown. In this condition, the stream is still coming from the stream server, allocating bandwidth, also when I press the button again, I see that the program is still running.
What I want to accomplish , is that when I press the power on the remote, the box shutdown. When I press it again, then it should boot up.
The device is rooted, on the /system/usr/keylayout files, I see a layout which belongs to the remote 110b0030_pwm.kl , there is an event for the powerbutton like this: key 116 POWER WAKE
Anyone can suggest something what I could try?
Thanks
Hello guys,
I'm playing PUBG on S9+ Exynos and have trouble shooting while aiming.
Is there anyway to map the Volume UP button to the touch screen where the shoot icon is so I can shoot with the pointing finger while aiming and moving with 2 thumbs like on consoles?
Non-root method please
you need BxAction (or some other app that can remap hardware buttons. BxAction can remap Vol up/down and Bixby), tasker, and auto input.
- Use bxaction to map the button you want to a Tasker task (let's call it ShootGunTask, for example)
- in Tasker's ShootGunTask, go to the plugin and choose autoInput. Then input the display coordinate if the icon
I use something very similar to what you want in Telegram. When I'm in telegram app, short clicking Bixby button clicks the "send voice note" button. Effectively turning my phone into a walkie-talkie.

hey can you please explain more ?
What's up people, I bring you a zip for some, the best thing is that I usually use Xbox Game Pass and PS Play remote and there is no Xbox Guide function or simply PS button, what I did is remap Home button and Capture button in case you want to use it like me.
To add the Home function as before I advise you Button Mapper Add the link, this way you have Button mode (Normal button, Double tap> example Home button> Long press > Turn off screen) Also with the capture Capture button (Normal button> Double tap Screenshot> Long Press> Play / pause music (?))

hi... thanks for your explanation, but can you go into a little more detail please?
Also, can you create the same zip file but with the A/B, X/Y buttons reversed, so that they mimic the xbox layout?
Thanks

I don't have the hori controller, but I guess it wouldn't be the same. even so. if you are affected with the d-pad it is probably a problem of S.O. or controller keymap.
Hi @Chiveta,
I installed the March 2022 OTA update and now the capture button of my Hori Split Pad Pro doesn't work properly. I can't program it anymore. All the other buttons work without any problems. I haven't tested it yet with other joy cons because I'm on holiday and I don't have them with me.
Can you please have a look and maybe update your script?
Thank you very much!
Update:
I edited the mapping files (changed the capture button to Z, C and 4) but it doesn't work.
I use a gamepad test app and it seems that the capture button is recognized longer than the other buttons, like it's kind of stuck.
Update 2:
I saw in the changelog that there's a new function to turn off RSMouse with the screenshot button. I think that's why I can't remap the button anymore.
The original zip file from Chiveta does not work anymore, but we can modify the Xbox Joycon Layout Zip file from "[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] switchroot Android 10". Just modify
\vendor\usr\keylayout\Vendor_057e_Product_2008.kl
and
\vendor\usr\keylayout\Vendor_057e_Product_2009_Version_8001.kl
to whatever key you want, and repack the zip file, and flash it in TWRP.
You can find all keys that Android supports from the official Android website:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent
For example, I figured out "KEYCODE_BUTTON_MODE" will trigger Xbox Guide Button Long Press (pop up the screen to turn OFF the Xbox). So if you would like to map the screenshot button for this, just changed this line "key 309 MEDIA_PAUSE" to "key 309 BUTTON_MODE"
Remember, you do not need the "KEYCODE_" portion shown in the official Android website.
Or you can just use my zip file.
I have not figured out which button will trigger Xbox Guide Button Short Press (pop up user screen). If anyone figures it out, please let me know. Thanks.
