Tips - use G button as camera button / lock screen (change key binding) - LG Optimus Black

I found it in a chinese forum (bbs.gfan.com/android-2014369-1-1.html)
I'm sure most people found the G button useless, so it would be nice to change that. The following is my experience with it:
The position of the G button make it perfectly useful as lock/unlock button, you can use it to shutdown as well, but cannot use it to switch on the phone, I guess it is electrically hardwired to the power button at the top.
Not too bad for camera, long press it will launch the camera app, but it don't have 2 levels so press it once and it will start auto-focus and take picture immediately, similar to touch and release shutter button in camera app, which mean you can't "dis-engage" a failed focus attempt.
here is the method:
1. make sure you have root and r/w to system partition
2. the file in question is "TWL4030_Keypad.kl", it's in /system/usr/keylayout/
3. before making any changes, copy the file to SDcard as a backup
4. open the file with any text editor, scroll down to 3rd line from the bottom, it should be "key 95 GESTURE"
5. if you want to use it as camera button, change it to "key 95 CAMERA WAKE_DROPPED"
if you want to use it as power/lock button, change it to "key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED"
6. save the changes, reboot to see the changes.

Very good.
In fact, I may even use this on nova.

the method is work.
after edit file it create backup file which is name "TWL4030_Keypad.kl.bak"

It works! Great!

worked perfectly thx!

thank u..
this work

hey, i was followed this method but my Optimus Black can't use it .. when i push my Gesture it can't go to camera .. somebody help me ??

My phone still on Original ROM.
After modify to Power/Lock mode, it's work.
but into Shutter mode, doesn't work.

notice you need to long press to start the Camera App. (you should feel the phone vibrate)
or just start the camera app, then press the G button to take a picture to see if it works.
It should be a pretty straight forward modification.

Could it be
"key 95 RECOVERY WAKE_DROPPED" ???

wow, very nice

Very nice. Thanks.
To all who could not manage get it to work: You must take care of file attributes after modyfing the file content ( otherwise it won't work ). It must be CHMOD 644.
( I use SD Maid for this )

It doesn't work for me, i am using pays ROM. Can someone upload the file? Thank u!

you need to have your phone "root" AND mount system partition as read and write

Hey my phone is rooted, how do I mount system partition a read and write ? Sorry I'm a noob

if you use ES File Explorer, goto setting, select 2 checkboxs "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
if you use root explorer, change directory to /system, then press "Mount R/W" button

g1 button remap for global search?

With the latest release of cyanogens update I started using the global search which I really love but unfortunately htc didn't give us a search button like the mytouch 3g has, I also find that I don't use the camera button at all so is it possible to remap the camera button to function as a quick launch for the global search like we can remap the end key?
I was wondering the same thing.
I have been looking at the filesystem & the /system/usr folder contains the folders "keylayout" and "keychars".
Inside the keylayout folder are several .kl (presumably .kl stands for key layout) files. If you edit them you should be able to change what ANY key on the device does, in theory anyway.
The qwerty.kl & trout-keypad.kl files appear to be the same unless I am missing something. They seem to be the layout files for normal US Dream devices. There is also trout-qwertz.kl which seems to be for the French QWERTZ key layout. I don't know how the trout-keypad-v2.kl & the trout-keypad-v3.kl are different from the traditional trout-keypad files, however you can look at that yourself.
I am looking at the trout-keypad.kl file for my ADP1 and am kinda struggling with a few of the keys. Obviously all I believe you have to do is change the line:
"key 212 CAMERA" to "key 212 SEARCH"
The SEARCH label is typically mapped to key 127.
However, I am at a loss as to what key 211 could possibly be, it is labeled as FOCUS, could it be when you press the camera key halfway down to focus in the camera app & key 212 be fully pressed?
I will do a little exploring & I will post back with my test results when I push the file to /system/usr/keylayout on my device later. Since they are just files I don't believe that you need to resign an update that contains them, you should be able to just push them to the device.
If it works I will upload the modded file here.
EDIT 1: You should also be able to add the tag WAKE in the next column over (where the other WAKE or WAKE_DROPPED tags are) if you want that key to wake the device.
Yeah I saw those files but can't do anything with them atm since I'm out and about but I assumed that they pertained to the slideout keyboard only so Ill look at them when I'm home.
They appear to be for ALL keys on the device, there are also some for BT headsets.
I updated all of the files with the camera & focus keys mapped to search, however it accomplished nothing. It still launches camera. I am running the JACxROM, but I am gunna try it with my old CM 3.6.8.1 build (which I preferred over JACxROM anyway). I'll post back later.

I was wondering if u edited the zip file then flashed it. Maybe that might help. I was thinking of doing something like this for myself but wasnt sure where to start
All I did as of yet was change the files, push them, and reboot. I am in the process of making an update and flashing it. Also, it didn't work with the first method on the CM build. The update I am signing will be based on the CM build.
One thing I also don't understand, is the *.kcm.bin files in the keychars folder. When I open them in a hex editor I cant understand them, are they encrypted, do they need unpacked, am I just an idiot??
EDIT: I'm an idiot. Just pushing the files doesn't work. For whatever the odd reason, it seems you have to package them in an update.zip file & sign them. It works great now. You can either push the button halfway down (FOCUS) and it will pop up, or push it all the way down (CAMERA) and it will pop up.
I can't upload the whole CM update (don't have the bandwith) but I will try to make an update.zip that contains just the new files (kinda like a theme update.zip file) and upload it.
Ok. I can't figure out how to make a plain update.zip with the files needed.
I put them in an update.zip file containing two directory trees:
META-INF/com/google/android/ which contains update-script (my custom one for this)
and
system/usr/ which contains all of the .kl files that needed modified.
My update-script file is as follows:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
What am I doing wrong? Whenever I try to flash the update I get an error that says "Syntax error in update script". I'm using the same convention used in theme update-script files. What should I do?
PS: The update is being signed, I'm not that stupid

Cool I can't wait for this. If all goes well I can remove the search widget to free up space and memory. U should drop this by cyanogen so he can include it in the next update. I'm sure this would go great with the global search once the bugs r worked out of it.
Well since I can't figure out the stand-alone update.zip here are the plain files so that you can just add them to /system/usr in your update.zip of choice and re-sign it. I have PMd Cyanogen about this and will see what he says.
Glad I could help guys!
EDIT: Words of caution. I am not responsible if you screw up with this. Also, if you just press the camera button it will bring up the search box, but if you hold the camera button it brings up Voice SEARCH (not voice dial)
EDIT 2: I've added two new versions. The "keyboard_mod_cam-norm_focus-search.zip" file makes it so if you press camera completely down then it still opens camera, but if you just press it halfway down (to focus mode) it brings up search. Holding it at halfway still brings up voice search *see edit three*.
The "keyboard_mod_cam-search_focus-norm.zip" file makes it the opposite. Pressing all the way down opens search, pressing halfway down still focuses if you are in the camera app. Holding it all the way down still brings up voice search *see edit three*.
And of course the original file stays the same. Either position brings up search and holding still brings up voice search *see edit three* from any position.
EDIT 3: OK, it seems that voice search is only activated on a long press on CM 3.6.8.1! If you are using the latest (CM 3.9.11.2) it does NOT activate voice search anymore.
Can't you just use the original update and replace what you need in there?
Ok whoa you work fast but thanks for it! Hopefully cyanogen considers adding a setting for it, thanks so much!

Yea thats exactly what I had to do to make it work, just replace the files in the original update and re-sign it then flash it. You can use any of the versions I posted to replace the files and it will work for you too.
And no problem. I haven't gotten a reply from Cyan yet but I did PM him.
Thanks for the compliment btw lol.
Ha ha well great job! Can't wait to get home and flash with this in it =D.
worked great thanx! i used ADB File Explorer v0.3 by makethetick makes pushing and pulling apk's a brezze no need to remember commands! if anyone would like to try it head over here, its the the op a few headers down
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
Hmm. It worked for you by pushing? I couldnt make it work that way, I had to flash a custom update that I put the files in. Did you do anything extra? Change permissions? Did you reboot? Check if it still works after a reboot, because mine didnt.
its still working after at least 4 reboots. did u pull out the stock files b4 u pushed it? in the abd file explorer i deleted the stock then just pushed from there. as of now this is my 5th reboot (once i find a setting i like i get update my nandroid). if u need to drop my a line faster than the forum check my signature for my gmail
Using the JacHero 2.1 which has camera key remapped to search. Don't seem to be able to reassign to camera - what's the keycode for the G1's camera button? Thought it was 211 (focus) 212 (take piccy).
Oh I should probably say hi - first post lol. I'm a bit n00bish but I have successfully reflashed this G1 5 or 6 times with different roms and haven't asked loads of questions without reading instructions - but can't figure this camera issue out. Cheers
Sorry about this post! All info was supplied earlier in thread! Mustve been a long day at work that day!

[Q] NOVA-could it wake up by pressing G or volume key

Hello,
I am using NOVA V8 and flash the huexxx fix
could I use any script to use the G button or the volume button to wake up my phone?
I tried to read the script and tutorial...but i wonder there is no key 95 which correspond to G button. I tried to make a new script for key 95...but it doesn't work at all.
it doesn;t matter to use G button to wake up, but i really want to use other key besides power key to wake up.

[Q] double press home button

I'm trying to set double press home for home screen, as single press would be allocate to a task switcher.
my problem is that double press does nothing when i deactivate voice speech.
i tryed advanced home button on the market but it doesn't or can't make it work.
can someone help for this stupid thing ?
Homemyhome from the galaxy s2 works when set, but you have to re select the double press app on reboot, I haven't managed to sort out that problem with it yet.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't this what's normal --
short single press HOME ==> home screen
long single press HOME ==> task switcher

Allow or Disallow the Home key from waking up the Phone [Galaxy Note]

PREVENT - ALLOW GALAXY NOTE HOME KEY FROM ACCIDENTALLY WAKE UP DEVICE:
Some people complained about the Home keys of Galaxy Note sometime is touched and turned on accidentally when taking it in-out of the pocket.
After studying some articles on-line for Droid X phone (not same as the Galaxy Note), I digged around in the directory system/usr/ keylayout. Finally, I have found a way to do it. I can disable the HOME key from wake up the phone in off-screen state, but still let it to move from apps drawer to standby screen as usual. And I think it works!!
- Goal: Modify 2 file related to wake up function of the Home key (code 102).
- How to:
+ Using Root Explorer go to the folder: system/usr/keylayout, set permission to Mount R/W;
+ Click to select the 2 files: gpio-key.kl and sec_key.kl to modify them. When the menu appears, select: Text Editor to modify the files.
+ Move to the line: "key 102 HOME WAKE" in the 2 files above and put the cursor on the position of "WAKE" to erase the word "WAKE".
+ Press Menu hard button, select Save Changes, the phone will save the backup file and save the current files.
+ Set permission to Mount R/O for the folder: system/usr/ keylayout.
+ Shut down and then restart, Ahh, it worked!
Note: If you want to use Home key to wake up Galaxy Note again, go to delete two above modified files and rename the two backup files to gpio-key.kl and sec_key.
For people don't want to do it manually, I make the 2 flashable files for Allow and Disallow the Home key for Note and tested for working, at least on my Galaxy Note.
The 2 flashable files to do that is attached below. Copy to SDCard/ExternalCard and flash them in CWM Recovery, then reboot:
works for me. thx.

I'm on asylum 4.2.2.this is a cyanogen 10.1 mod , like slim bean .
It looks like we need to change more/other files for this to work , wile when i canche the here adviced ones , nothing seems to change ,, the volume buttens still behave the same.
/system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl is changed to..
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 POWER WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
key 103 DPAD_UP
key 108 DPAD_DOWN
key 232 DPAD_CENTER
key 116 POWER WAKE
key 212 CAMERA WAKE
look at line 115 and 114 this would change te volume button function in the power funtion , i suspect , AM I RIGHT ????
in fact this does not change the behavior of the volume buttons at all it still changes te volume , btw i did restart after changing te sec_key.kl file
please advice manny thanks in advance

Lock gear from launcher shortcut

Alright guys,
Pretty much what I'm after is a launcher shortcut which locks our gear.. The reason for this when using custom launchers the home/power button by default does not lock the device anymore.
It seems that particular feature was hardcoded into the TW launcher.
There are various applications available on the playstore, although I haven't found any which work on the gear as they require additional settings to be enabled in a traditional settings dialog.. which obviously we dont have.
If anyone has any ideas please post ! Or even better if you know of a app in mind which works !

I like to use adb to pull the files I want to modify to my desktop, Modify them, Place them on the SDCARD of the gear and then manually place them using a root file browser to their original locations. Also remember to set permissions, Imitate any other permissions in the same directory.
