Hi all,

there are two backlighted bottons on our Galaxy S; once is the BACK botton, the second one is OPTIONS botton.
Now, probably we can remap the OPTIONS botton for use it like a NOTIFICATION LED!
I suppose that: if we have one message/email or one unaswered call, the light of the option botton could PULSE..!!!
I think that this is the best solution for our NON-LEDED-PHONE...
What do you think?? Probably we can work on!!
Let me know!!

great idea.. definitely worth it..
one thing nice about i9000 is the home button wakes the phone

I don't know... I'm waitin' two Galaxy S for early July, so we need to wait somebody that have the phone right now...
But i can search on youtube...

it seams, that they only light up if you use them
but i cant find any video that shows the booting properly

Yes, but they light up, i think this is enough
I saw a video of the boot on youtube but i don't find it... damn!

Boot:

No lights up...but maybe the part of the video that we need is too short..

They do not light up under the boot.
But you can trigger them/use them while booting.

Probably, but we need to activate them any time we loose a call or we have a message/email...
I see that the bottons are capacitives, not phisicals...

Yes, they are touchbuttons. If you need any help from me since I have the phone already let me know.

Code:
case ACPI_BUTTON_NOTIFY_STATUS:
input = button->input;
if (button->type == ACPI_BUTTON_TYPE_LID) {
acpi_lid_send_state(button);
} else {
int keycode = test_bit(KEY_SLEEP, input->keybit) ?
KEY_SLEEP : KEY_POWER;
input_report_key(input, keycode, 1);
input_sync(input);
input_report_key(input, keycode, 0);
input_sync(input);
}
acpi_bus_generate_proc_event(button->device, event,
++button->pushed);
break;
is the KEY_SLEEP the back key ?

Change circle button

Is there a way to make the circle button not to be recognized as the back button on an jelly bean rom ?
Particularly on emulators like n64oid where the back button toggles a bar, it's really annoying
I tried modifying the keylayout but it completely bugged up several other keys
Any help here ?
Thanks in advance...

I would also like to know.
Gingerbread and ICS instructions too if possible.

you need to edit a keymap file , not sure where it is on jb
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk 2

even when u edit the keymap, not every app will detect it properly..., and u risking mess up other key, this is never ending bug story with un-official (non beta) ICS & JB Rom..

I TRIED modifying the keylayout files, but it messed so much other keys that I abandonned, perhaps I did it incorectly ?
It messed up the home key and most of the keypad, just for changing 305 to BUTTON_B
EDIT : fixed it : found a mirror of a fix, and it worked flawlessly thanks for the help anyway

Its already been shared. But it doesnt fix the circle button issue for certain applications that require the sony framework.

Where is this fix? because my circle button is fine now but the select button now acts as back. What needs to be changed? I will ask some of the Nexus 4 devs to make the neccessary changes.

Post #1 requires you to make changes to your build prop. Note this doesn't fix circle button 100% correctly.

Thanks, but I think I have sussed it shortly after my last post without any build prop editing. though when I save the profile in sixaxis it doesnt show the profile in the app but there is an output file on the sdcard. I will post the details later. Dev was very helpful

Remapping the home button

Ive been trying to make my home button function the same as the power button. First I made a nandroid and rebooted andthen went here--> System/usr/keylayout/generic.kl and changedkey# whatever-said-home to say POWER. rebooted and it didn't work, it worked just like normal. Then I went back and changed every key that said home to power anywhere in the keylayout directories and still, it works like normal! Any advice or knowledge to help me solve this puzzle?
Thanks!

I'm on an aokp build BTW and I tried the button remapping app as well. Stubborn button =
Sent from my Kangadore 64

Well for starters, did you reboot?
There should be a thread in one of the US variants forums that tells you about the key layouts.
Theres also an app that will give you info on what button you just pushed.
Been a while so cant remember the name and dont know if itll be compatible, but maybe someone else does and will chime in.

I've rebooted with every change. I tried theapp that tells you what button you pushed but it doesn't show what the power or home buttons key in as, its in the FAQ of the app I don't know what the issue is, I can change other buttons around but this one refuses to cooperate.

You have to edit the sec-keys.kl file to whatever you want then reboot. Generic.kl only takes effect if sec-keys.kl isn't there. So edit sec-keys.kl then reboot and you should be golden

@OP....
Got a better idea. Download apex launcher, and download screen off and lock.....
Open apex settings, behavior settings, home button...
Have it launch screen off and lock when pressed. Your phone will now turn off when you press the home button from your home screen.

all they did was change what function the home button does. Look at a few posts up to see the file they changed and it's quite self explanatory, you will see a list of four buttons and their default assignments. Then you can either disable one by putting a # in front of the entire line or change them to say make the home function as a camera button.

[Mod] Restore Power Saver

If you are stock Sense ROM and you want power saver in the toggles use a root explorer and go to:
system/customize/CID/default.xml
Carefully remove:
<item name="def_hide_ui_user_powersaver">1</item>
<item name="def_hide_ui_powersaver_connectivity">1</item>
reboot
I made a backup first. Not responsible if this jacks up your phone.
Pull down the notification bar, click on the toggles and there it is, power save.

You could also probably put a 0 where the 1 is to turn hide off.

I sure wouldn't want to steal anyone's thunder, Andy. Could you point me to his post? I don't see how I missed it, I've been crawling the Verizon HTC One forum since this thing was released. I kept seeing the "Verizon took out Battery Saver, here's Qualcomm's solution: Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru" floating to the top in the themes and apps, so I thought I'd post this mod.
If it is sure enough a dupe, mods please delete.

I thought the default.xml file is only read once at the first initial start of the rom only; meaning only after you do a factory reset on the device?

Dunno. I know after the mod and a reboot, power save showed up in the toggles and seems to work. When I click it, screen dims for instance. If you touch the dots, you get the screen with the three choices, CPU power, display, and vibration. All seem to work. You don't see it in settings and you don't see the big ugly icon in the notification bar, but I like this better.

[Q] Enable Software Buttons

Is there any way currently to enable software buttons on this phone? I just can not stand capacative buttons, they are simply awful in my opinion.

The only way I see enabling them is by enabling One Hand Mode. Of course the screen size is reduced then. With root it may be possible.

If rooted, you can try this:
http://www.gizbeat.com/2021/disable-or-enable-the-on-screen-virtual-software-keys-in-android/
There are also a few 3rd party apps that may help on Play.

Maybe it is worth buying this phone if I can fully disable the capacative buttons. Root is something I always acquire so that wouldn't be an issue. Exciting!

This works with JB and KK. Not sure about LP and ZenUI. I can give it a try for you.

Soft keys are a go, adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to build.prop.
Couldn't get capacitive buttons to disable though. Edited both generic.kl and ***asus***.kl, but they stayed enabled. Not sure if further fiddling could get it accomplished or not.

In order to disable those annoying you need to edit "system/usr/keylayout/ftxxxx_ts.kl" rather than formers... As you know commenting those lines :
# key 158 BACK WAKE VIRTUAL
# key 102 HOME WAKE VIRTUAL
# key 139 APP_SWITCH WAKE VIRTUAL

Edit the model number prop. If you have the 64GB/4GB WW version, go into:
build.ze551.dual.2p3GHz.prop
Add the line there
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Reboot and enjoy soft keys.

Should be if it's the 2.3GHz version (which I think all 4GB RAM builds are).
Give it a shot. Worst case scenario... Nothing happens and you try a different prop.

I tried adding on buildprop and buildprop 2.3ghz. Reboot and nothing happens.
