Root S-ON/S-OFF root Help? & Key Function List HELP?? PLEASE??

[Pantherz]

1st Question:
Ok so I had my T-Mobile Mytouch 4g slide rooted by a friend with S-ON and now I can gain access to the root menu by using “superuser” and “root explorer.” I was able to remap a few buttons using “ButtonRemapper,” which is a great program but the only problem is that it doesn’t remamp all of the functions I want. If I try to edit the doubleshot-keypad.kl file through Root explorer I still cannot gain R/W access. I can only gain R/W access in the “/system” folder. Anything after that will still restrict the access to R/O (i.e. /system/usr/keylayout which is the file I want to edit). Is this because the phone was rooted with S-ON or am I doing something else wrong???


2nd Question:
I need help locating key functions for my T-mobile Mytouch 4g slide. I just need to know what are the code numbers for the long-press function of the 4 buttons on the front of the phone and not the keyboard. I want to change them and I’m not exactly sure how. Can anyone help?!?

I know the original function for the quick-press is like this:
# physical keys
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 188 FUNC_4

I’m trying to change the long-press function of those buttons. Also does anybody know what the button for the key number 107 goes?? It says that key 107 = ENDCALL but there is no physical button for that function anywhere 0_o

as for learning the key codes, have you tried the KeyTracker app, listed along with Button Remapper? With Keytracker, you push a key and it will tell you the code number for that key, when possible. worth a try?

thank you for the reply YrrchSebor0000!! i used the keynrtracker and its a very useful tool but after pushing all of the buttons i came to the conclusion that the key function 107 = ENDCALL doesn't exist at all on the phone. it only works with the touch screen function which i find strange since its assigned to a hardware button as well 0_o

 

[YrrchSebor0000]

Hmm, that's strange. Yeah, from using both apps on a few different phone, I've seen that not everything is possible, unfortunately.

As for not having RW access in the keymap file in Root Explorer... that's odd. I don't think S-ON has anything to do with that, I would think root access is root access? Here on my G2 at the moment, I can gain R/W access anywhere in my system. Have you figured anything out yet?

not really, ive asked a couple of questions on xda developers but i havent gotten much progress on there either. do u know of any other app that might be able to get me to edit the doubleshot-keypad.kl file manually??

have you checked these threads?

[MOD] Re-Mapping Keys (Genius Button to Search - www/com button to TAB) and more.. - xda-developers

[MOD] ( any ROM ) Hardware Key Mapping | Flashable zips & Requests ( GB & ICS ) - xda-developers

Blue6IX would be a great person to talk to, or send a message to, but he is hard to get ahold of these days. Good luck, hope you make some progress!

lol its funny, if you look toward the end of both of those threads, you'll see that I've posted questions on the end of both of them XD!! Thanx for the help though. I least i think I managed to get the rooting issue sorted out...
