HERE YOU WILL FIND 3 ROWS...
Quote: 1. As you can see, there are different attributes assigned to each key. like this
Code: key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 115 VOLUME_UP
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN 2. Specific application/action launchers:
Code: HOME #Launches "Home"
MENU #Launches "Menu"
BACK #Takes you back to the last activity
SEARCH #Launches "Universal Search"
CALL #Launches the "Phone" activity and corresponding .apk or initiates a call
ENDCALL #Ends a call
CAMERA #Launches "Camera" activity and corresponding .apk
FOCUS #Initiates Auto-Focus while using the Camera
VOLUME_UP #Self explanatory
VOLUME_DOWN #Self explanatory 3. And attributes saying if it should wake the phone at button push to complete the action, or if it should just complete the action without waking the screen.
Code: WAKE #Completes the action without waking the screen
WAKE_DROPPED #Wakes the phone to complete the action |
2. NOW WE WILL EDIT SECOND AND/OR THIRD ROW
Erase the center row value for any key to completely disable it. To reassign the key, replace the center row value with another one from the same row. Change the right row value to either "WAKE" or blank to enable the wake function. Do not modify the left row.
NOTE: don't edit left row i.e. first row which contains specific key identity number.
FOR EXAMPLE I DO THESE CHANGES
DEFAULT VALUES ---
Code: key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE CHANGED VALUES ---
Code: key 115 CAMERA WAKE
key 114 FOCUS WAKE NOW VOLUME UP KEY WILL WORK AS CAMERA KEY AND VOLUME DOWN KEY WILL WORK AS FOCUS KEY....
NOTE: all words should be in BOLD letters i.e. capital letters... |
