Hi guys,
So, as the thread says, i am having a problem with screen positioning, its landscape mode and i want it to go portrait mode, BECAUSE i have a damaged X1, some microchip is damaged, and the only buttons working is the turn on button and the camera button, but everything which goes for the touch is working perfectly.
SO, when i start ANDROID system, i always get it in landscape mode, and as none of my buttons work, i cant just "slide out and slide in" the telephone to change the view, so is there any way to change the default starting view ? maybe to change some kind of code or line in settings ?

Yes , it will be, but i tried to repair it, i repairmans told, that this device is unrepairable... So i either throw it away or manage to use android ... Can anyone help ?
On some of the iPad knockoffs running android, they put only the home button on the device, and put software buttons for back and menu in the top right of the screen. Maybe you can find some way to get that?

As for the rotate, when I press the menu button on the home screen, it seems to realise that the keypad is in fact closed and rotate the correct way. So if you can get the menu button up there, then press that on the homescreen and it should rotate to the correct orientation.

nice, some kind of guy wrote, that it will be hard , and thats it ? U [email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected] thx for that idea , with ipod and back button, maybe i will find an answer somewhere...
You can maybe remap the keys like this:
Camera focus = back
Camera = home
Power = menu
But I don't know how to do it.
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
Camera focus is already mapped to back button in "Froyo FRG83 - Android 2.2.1 Beta-Release [06-11-2010] from neopeek", but camera is mapped to turn off.
Also with that configuration, how would you turn off your device or put it into standby?
@tads999 calm down dude. Remember that YOU need help, not us. So don't yell at guys that want to help.

Take out the battery to turn off.
Have a timer that enters standby after some minutes if nobody touch it and listen to all working keys so he can exit standby.
And if I would have his X1 I would be pleased if it could run Android.

i mean, asking to remap the keys for me,
LOL, got a brilliant idea, i will try to remap the key which enters when u slide ur phone out and in, if this will work, i will be able to run android perfectly ;D
is there a way to add options when we long press the power button? optionto not only shutdown the phone but also reboot.
The CyanogenMod (CM7) ROM, does this. If you can live with that ROM (or any ROM based on that), I can highly recommend this one from wgspoelstra.
does it have the 64RAM hack (freeing up an extra 64 mb ram)
Yes, CM7 uses the vorkKernel which has this hack.
thanks! i have the WGSPOELSTRA on my phone, working great, i am on v.26, i haven't updated to the latest because i'm seeinig some negative feedback on the release
It would be great to use the volume buttons to unlock the screen.
Anyone knows if it could be plausible?
i can't find it again...i knew i found an option that does that... now i'm not sure if it's in the slick custom roms or the WGSPOELSTRA's

Whilst it is possible with stock it's a lot of framework edits. I took a look and hacked together a reboot proof of concept... you have to call an existing function and LG have obfuscated this function in their framework...

WidgetLocker supports this.

Brilliant. I love LG 2X but the power button at the top and volume buttons on the right are a big fail in my opinion. I might be too use to the layout on SGS.
Having said that I don't mind if there is a workaround and this for me is perfect. Thanks.
I'm posting this topic cause I couldn't find any answer to my question which is:
Is it possible to make my home button behavior as a power button while at lockscreen?
I would like to turn my screen on and off with only home button. I can turn it on just with home btn but when I want to turn it off I have to move my thumb to power button what is for me not as comfortable as it shuold be. And if it's not possible than mayby there's a way to reduce the "lock screen on" time?
I'm running on the latest Galnet 6.0.1.0
Thanks in advance for answer ; )
search for an app called 'button remapper' in google, i think its got that feature
hmm... thanks for that, but it's not exacly what I need.
It's partially is but i wanted to change home button behavior only on lockscreen. For now I made my home button to work as power and power as home. It seems that I don't need to change the whole behavior but only to add one functionality that make my home button work as power one while being at lockscreen.
I know it's just a whimsy but would be nice to make it work as I want ^^
And again. Thanks for your help !

Its not 'whimsy' lol i too would like such feature, I have no idea how to do it though. Think we need some help from a clever dev !!
Hi,
Does anyone faced an issue that the home button stopped functioning? It does not go to home screen nor does it show the recent applications on the long press. I enabled heptic feedback and it reacts when I touch the home icon but it does not do what it supposed to do.
Thanks.

It would be wise to update your phone to at least CM7.. (if your signature is not outdated).

I'm having the same issue. I installed:
cm-7-20121104-NIGHTLY-passion.zip
gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Home button does not work (but gives haptic response as reported above). There are other problems as well; Play Store won't connect, and the system is generally unstable and reboots fairly often.
Is there a more stable version that I should be using?
Thanks,

Hey there,
In my unofficial build from 3th of May for HTC Desire:
the LEDs are not working.
the hardware keys are working fine, except for home button long press. It vibrates, but does not bring the Recent apps. Also I did not find a preference under Settings / Buttons to associate this action with Recent apps.
Everything else is just perfect!
Keep up the great work! :good:
Cheers!

I have found a simple solution for the first issue. Just in case someone needs it, here you are: https://github.com/spezi77/android_device_htc_bravo/commit/84ab3e63071af6229080d7fd19c1d77b3967a6a6

And here is the solution for the other issue. Also very simple, I had only to set the configuration to "1 - Recent apps dialog": https://github.com/spezi77/android_device_htc_bravo/commit/0ba31218200abed06d810d2fbc111e5ea8227bdb
