[APP][UPDATE 10/21/2010]DashBoard V6 (formerly CarMode)

CarMode is now DashBoard! And is now available in the Market! Search "DashBoard" (without the quotes) by Nidus Network.
I'm not getting any info from you guys regarding the Action, Package and Class names for each of your phones/ROMs. I can do this myself but it will take me weeks for there are LOTS of phones/ROMs/versions out there. So to fix the force close issues, I've decided to make the users input the apps themselves by typing in their package and class names. Until I get those info I need, there isn't really any other easier way.
Visit the huge link just below this paragraph for the different packages/classes.
So, how do I make this app work?
Easy Method
1) Install LauncherPro from the Market
2) Go to your phone's home (desktop), press and hold a blank space
3) Navigate to Shortcuts > Activities
4) Look for the app you want to add in DashBoard
5) It will only show you the package class. Most of the time, the package name will be what you mostly see that's familiar with all the package class of that certain app. Write down possible package names/class names (package name is e.g. com.android.settings and class name goes something like com.android.settings.Settings)
6) Fill the info you got in the fields under the Settings in the DashBoard app
7) If you can't find the icon for your app, please request it here and I will make one
You can find some of these by visiting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8654315&postcount=35. Also, share what works and what doesn't for you.
Hard Method - More chances of success
1) Install Log Collector from the Market (FREE)
2) Run the app or behavior you want to add
3) Open Log Collector and send the log to your e-mail, or post it here if you need help finding the thing you want to run
4) Look for terms such as com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts/DialtactsActivity
5) That's your clue. Package name is com.android.contacts while class is com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity
6) Input that to the fields in DashBoard
7) If you can't find the icon for your app, please request it here and I will make one
If I have more time, I will post a thorough step-by-step guide on how to add app shortcuts. Thanks!
App Description
AT THE MOMENT, THIS IS FOR POWER-USERS ONLY OR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO LEARN
Introducing DashBoard, formerly CarMode, an alternative to Car Home. Basically what it does is it shows you huge buttons to important apps that you might use when driving a vehicle with less distraction than manually waking your phone, opening the app drawer, etc. Unlike Car Home, this app will give you more flexibility and more settings to poke around with (even better in future updates).
*NEW* Driving Mode with Handsfree Auto-respond and Text-To-Speech! When activated, DashBoard sends a text message to any person that texts you while Driving Mode is ON and reads the message afterwards, completely handsfree! Like all TTS apps, you need to download TTS Service Extended from the Market and set the speech speed to your liking.
*SOON* Car Locator
Looks best with MDPI devices (320x480 resolution, e.g. Droid Eris).
As of now, this app is currently in Beta phase. What you see right now does not reflect how it will look like and work in the future. I'm working hard to make changes and add more features. Currently NOT in the Market but available on GetJar.com (updates appear within 24 hours in GetJar.com)

Thank you Please test it out and leave your comments/suggestions so I can improve the app. I'm currently working on being able to choose what buttons go to what position, etc.

Thanks! Will try this on my Legend on the way home.

Briliant idea. Since it's rainy these days here in Athens and I use my car insted of my motorbike, I can give it a try.
Fisrt impresions.
Display button gives me a Force Close. Which app do you call?
Shazam, Navigation, FC too, but once you get "settings" to work will be fine.
You need also to add a "delete note" button.
You should also try higher resolution if it's possible in AppInventor.
Tested (short of..) on X10i with Android 1.6 (ya ya I know... still waiting SE...).
Thanks.

Get FC on Dialer which would be 1 of my main uses.
In landscape mode, I still have 2x3 icons and have to scroll down to find the other icons.

Nice idea, The CarHome app from Google won't let me choose to use other Navigation Software. It would be great if CarMode lets users chose which navigation software they want to use.

bugs
i'm trying it on SE x10 mini (e10i), android 1.6 last SE official italian rom.
the app starts, but taping on the DIALER, MESSAGES, CALL LOG, CONTACTS or DISPLAY buttons, the app crashes and i've to tap on "terminate" (app disappear and i'm back on android desktop).
i've also tried SHAZAM, NAVIGATION, VOICE SEARCH and other app buttons... works fine.
I think that SE'd modified a lot the platform and calls to DIALER and so on are not the same of the "regular" android.
hope b usefull

What else should I add? The less the better 'cause I don't want people to be distracted too much when driving! Please do suggest! If you're familiar with App Inventor and is good at it, may I ask some advice from you? Send me a PM. Thank you!

If I may, something that I think Car Home from google is lacking, and would be a great feature for your program:
When I enter my car, I have to put my phone on the charger, enable bluetooth, enable GPS and start my navigation software. I think this is quite a hassle, and should be shortened.
Car home has a nice feature: when the paired carkit is found, it starts up. This could be so much more though. What I'm proposing is the following:
1) I put the phone on the carkit.
2) Carmode detects a charger, and activates bluetooth for 30 seconds.
3a) Carmode doesn't find the paired carkit, and deactivates bluetooth again OR
3b) Carmode finds the carkit, fires up the GPS, and launches it's GUI with the big buttons.
4) I remove the phone from the carkit, Carmode detects this, and shuts down bluetooth and GPS connections, and programs launched from it's GUI and the GUI itself.
I have no idea how much of this is actually possible, and how much is already there, but this would be awesome, and I would pay for an app that does this, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Awesome work! This is a great app and seems to be getting better every day.
I haven't installed it yet but the one thing that I can see as a possibility is to add a "voice note" instead of typing. The typing thing is a no no while driving but if you could speak a note and play it back later it could be a big time saver.
Keep up the good work.

Oh my, force closes are bad I never thought about the differences in actions/classes/packages in every ROM/version/phone.
I based it on a Froyo ROM:
Display: com.android.settings.display
Dialer: com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity
Navigation: com.google.android.maps.driveabout.app.DestinationActivity
Shazam: com.shazam.android.Tagging (straight to the Tagging, not the splash screen, saves a couple of seconds)
For the high resolution, I'm currently working on it

Brilliant idea! But I think , right now, AI has a lot of limitations. It still can't detect phone's charging state and could not toggle GPS on/off I'll find a way though so just tune in I like that idea

Oh, I'll add that feature in the Notes page too
Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions! I'm so happy If you guys have LauncherPro as a home replacement app, could you guys check the Activites (long press the desktop > Shortcuts > Activities), and check what calls (e.g. com.android.settings, etc) the:
Navigation
Dialer
Settings
Display
Maps
Contacts
Shazam
.. and whatever you seem is good to add (you could also take a screenshot, much easier, whatever suits you)
Again, thank you so much! I'll be working hard to fix the problems.
Summary of things to fix/add:
Force close issues (need help from you guys, check my message above )
Fix landscape layout
Voice input for note-taking
Choose own apps to launch
HDPI layout fixes
And one more thing, can you guys take a screenshot of how CarMode appears in your phone, especially for high resolution devices (greater than 320x480 screens) so I'll know what parts to fix? 'Cause I only have the Eris (MDPI) to try on. Gracias!

Works great
Works great on the samsung moment. looking forward to future update when you can change the order of what and maybe some more quick launch options
THANKS

Oh, no force closes/wrong redirections in Samsung Moment? That's good news!
Yup, I'm excited too

lol, if this isn't in the market then what in the world did I just download?
Gonna go get the right file now. heh

LOL... There is a Car Mode (found on market) and CarModeV3 (this very app we are talking about).
@xr4v3nx, maybe you should change your app name since there is already one on the market. Think about changing the app icon too (that's my opinion). It looks awful on X10. Maybe because of the higher resolution.
Good work. Keep on.

Whoa whoa there's a CarMode in the Market?
It appears that it's not visible in my Market.
Yeah, I should change it and the icon too

crashes on my samsung vibrant!
Great app, loved the idea i would use it if it didnt keep FC on me eveytime i click on something on it like dialer or anything else? Any ideas why its FC on me?

*sigh*.... someone needs to make something like this for Winmo......

Oh, like what miztaken1312 said, please provide more info. The probable cause is that the intent/action/package/class I placed was different for your phone. ROM and phone model?

[App] ButtonRemapper - Beta v0.2.4 (New Galaxy S version added)

Important questions will be marked with the tag FAQ when they are answered in this thread. Search for FAQ with the "search this thread" button to fetch them.
-------- Update notes --------
Update (Jan 22): New, separate version for the Samsung Galaxy S (This version is not compatible with the Galaxy S variants like the Captivate and Vibrant. A version compatible with these devices will be posted soon)
A special version for the Galaxy Tab can be found here .
------ Initial Announcement --------
* Beta* for full rooted devices. (NAND unlocked. Full, permanent write access to the system dir is needed)
Tool to remap the hardware buttons. Or better: a generic tool to edit the key layout map file Android uses to map the keys. (For info about key layout files, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936 and
http://source.android.com/porting/keymaps_keyboard_input.html)
Supported devices: All, except Samsung Galaxy S variants (only partial support. Update: new, separate version for SGS attached to this post), Droid 2 and Huawei U8110/Android 2.1. On the Vibrate and Captivate only a few buttons can be remapped.
(If you have issues with your device, please let me know)

Tips
In generall, these are the codes of the keys on a standard Android device (for people who can also edit the keyboard codes of a hardware keyboard):
Code:
102, // home button
114, // Volume down
115, // Volume up
116, // Power
139, // Menu
158, // Back
217, // Search`
231, // CALL
232, // DPAD_CENTER
108, // DPAD_DOWN
103, // DPAD_UP
105, // DPAD_LEFT
106, // DPAD_RIGHT
211, // HEADSETHOOK
212, // CAMERA
242 // FOCUS
Attached is a little helper app (KeynrTracker.apk) to identify the keynumber you want to remap .
Faq
Q: can you do also other remappings with the buttons, like for example long pressing, double press, context sensitive remappings etc.
A: For now, this is pretty much it. Check out LaunchKey if you also want to remap the long-press search button.
Q: So this is it?
A: I do plan to add some more functionality and to update the interface, but when that will be I can't tell.

Changelog
v0.2.4: Fixed restore problem on some devices (Thanks ljjehl for noticing)
v0.2.3: Hasn't never been released
v0.2.2: * Added support for the Droid X (Thanks Doug for your feedback!) * added an option to hot reboot the device after applying a change, so one can almost change buttons on the fly.
v0.2 Fixed UI issues * Fix for Galaxy S Variants * added (camera) focus as an option to the "remap list"

If you like the app and/or wish to support this project consider buying the donation version from the market (Search term: ButtonRemapper). Don't feel obliged though!

So on a nexus 1, this will only remap the power, volume rockers and possibly trackball? Will it work for the capacitive buttons?

Absolutely. It will remap all buttons. I added a list of functions that can be remapped. (Also hardware keyboards can be remapped with this app... )
I plan to integrate this with the LaunchKey app in the future, so it would be possible to assign also apps etc to buttons.

I'll be giving it a shot shortly, then. Thanks, AF!
EDIT: donated

As always your critical feedback is very much appreciated.

What's "Grave" ? And there's 2 search entries and 3 menu entries. A little confusing. Are these for long press, double tap, etc. or are those for possible layouts across devices? How does one get to the "Apply" screen pictured? Will play around some more.

Well, I don't know
At the moment this app is just a tool to play around with the low level key layout mapping files Android uses for mapping the keys. It's sort of a power user tool.
In the future I'll need this layer to make a user friendly key remap tool that can do some low level remapping. Then I will hide much of the definitions that can be tweaked with this app.
Some background info about the key layout mapping files:
http://source.android.com/porting/keymaps_keyboard_input.html

Looks good..Will give it a shot soon..

SWEET, im wondering if it will eventually be possible to use search button on evo to actually take pics(not just open the camera)

Just what I needed. Thanks a lot appelflap.
Would be nice to have the "call" and "end call" function on 1 button (because the only button I do not use on my DHD is the search button..) Don't know if that is possible tho..
Thanks again!
Edit: I'll donate on the final version for sure.

It's possible to add a "focus" mapping. Haven't tested that one out yet. Maybe it will focus and take a picture in one step. I will add the function so one can test that out.

@all: I really like to know if this works on your device. If so, I can update this app with the functionality of the LaunchKey app and lots and lost of more functionality.

Assigning CAMERA to a button will open the camera, but it will act as a shutter too if you have the camera open! So yes it is possible to use the search button to take pics

Great job with this app.
I would love to see some remaps
For apps. I want search button to open contacts.
Let me know if you want any help.

That's definitely not good It would be great if you can send me a logcat.
You can download catlog from the market, open it, open the buttonremapper app, wait till it Force closes and than go back to catlog and choose "send log" in the menu (->more) . You can send it to the email address in the about window of the app.
Would be great and very helpfull if you can do that. Thanks

Button shortcuts to touchscreen keys
Do you think it is possible to have software shortcuts to the hardware buttons?

Add flag for SUPER.DUPER.WIPE:
with permission from @waydownsouth, I modified his AIO ("All In One") script from mexdroid rom and incorporated SUPER.DUPER.WIPE into OFFICIAL MIUI.us ROM..
The flag for SUPER DARKSIDE WIPE:
-wipe
-cam
What SUPER DARKSIDE WIPE flag does:
-wipe = A full wipe that is much more through and is HIGHLY suggested over any wipe options in recovery menu. It will also format partitions to EXT4 (NOTE: THIS WILL DELETE ALL USER DATA! DOESN'T TOUCH SD CARD!)
-cam = This will install the latest CM7 Camera app and remove the MIUI Camera from the rom.
If no -wipe flag is added to the end of file name it will not wipe...
Adding flags to the file name:
If default file name is:
Code:
[B]MIUI.us_glacier_1.9.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_thederekjay.zip[/B]
To perform a SUPER.DUPER.WIPE by adding -wipe flag to end of file name:
Code:
[B]MIUI.us_glacier_1.9.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_thederekjay-wipe.zip[/B]
Get IT??? Its as simple as adding "-wipe" to the end of the file name. Must also contain no spaces or else it will not work!!​
Instructions on flashing OFFICIAL MIUI.us w/ demonspeedMOD:
* FULL WIPE ALWAYS *
1. BACKUP ALL APPS with preferred method (ie: MIUI Back Up, Titanium, My Backup)
2. Download ROM*I HIGHLY suggest chaning file name on your comp and not in recovery if possible.. Could save you a headache!*​3. Set flag for SUPER.DUPER.WIPE
4. Place ROM on ROOT of your SD card.
4. Boot into Recovery Mode
5. Do a NAND BACKUP!!!
6. Flash ROM.
7. After flashing is complete, Reboot...
8. Done!

[DOWNLOAD HERE] [STABLE] [DARKSIDE MIUI 2.3.5a] [12.23.2011]​
Swype in all different flavors, Available [LINK DOWN] (9.18.2011) - Download and install as a normal app! Make sure that /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libswype.so (or libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so) is REMOVED from the device before installing or it will FC! (If coming from clean install you dont need to worry about this...) v3.23 OEM has everything working ie: vibrate on keypress, 3.25 I believe is lacing that feature...

Best Multi Tasking + 1 Screen access to all apps

I am sharing this with an intent of saving time , best multi-tasking ability and easy access to all your apps.Using only a few apps , users can accomplish this.The combination of apps used here is after testing a lot of apps (launchers/folder apps/widgets etc) with a lot of configurations , but you may find others better to your liking.
No Audio.
Using only a few apps like
1) Go Launcher
2) Application Folder
https://market.android.com/details?id=personal.jhjeong.app.appfolderlite&hl=en
3) Swipepad
https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android&feature=search_result
4) Wavelauncher is Paid , but Dock4Droid is free.
I was able to access all my apps neatly categorized in folders on the only homescreen.
Application Folder is used to neatly categorize apps.Categorizing is one time thing only.Feel free to tinker around with various layouts.I have used 'Bubble view' most of the time.
No App Drawer is used in the above videnly 1 screen.
Go Launcher consists of 5 icons in the dock.Each Icon is binded with an 'Application Folder' shortcut along with gesture for each icon.
5 icons + 5 gestures for each of those icon allow you to easily bind in all 10 folders!
For Multi Tasking:
I use Swipepad to switch to most frequently used tools (shown in the end with access to 12 apps
Wave Launcher is used to switch betweeen running apps
(can be seen as a wave of 6 apps in the end)
Would highly appreciate a feedback.
Press Thanks if this post helped you in anyway.

Nice tutortial......Will try Swipepad today....

This is my 1 screen multitasking solution.
It requires 2 apps:
1) Home2 Shortcut (Free)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut&hl=en
This app allows you to add a shortcut to your home key. To launch your shortcut all you need to do is double tap your home key. This is great since you can access your home key (and thus your apps in combination with Folder Organizer) from anywhere.
2) Folder Organizer (Paid)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.abcOrganizer&hl=en
This app allows you to organize your apps in folders. There is no limit to the amount of apps you can place in a folder. It can even link folders within a folder. Through this linking, you can switch between your different categories of folders all in one screen or single interface. The ability to link folders can only be done through the paid version of the app. You need this feature for my solution to work.
Instructions:
In Folder Organizer
1) Categorize your apps by creating your desired folders. I created 4 folders for my setup (Favourites, Tools, Media, Miscellaneous).
2) Link folders within all folders. It's a bit hard to explain but it's like adding a folder shortcut inside your folders. Hope my screenshots above will give you a better understanding.
3) Place your desired apps in your folders and sort them.
In Home2 Shortcut
4) Link your Folder Organizer folder to the home key.
Finally, double tap your home key to launch your app folder. That's it and you're good to go.

Quick access to apps
Thanks for sharing .This is another good approach to accessing apps quickly.I have tried this approach before and have also used folder organizer .I stopped using it because my phone's Home key is a hard button.Also , the screen occupied by the folders overwhelms me and it takes atleast 3 clicks to get to the desired app.
Considering different types of apps means too many folders.I have access to around 250 apps using the method above in 2 clicks.

In terms of accessing your app folders on your home screen using your solution, it would still require 3 clicks. You would need to click your home button to go back to your home screen, click on your folder, and finally click on your app.
Although my method would also require 3 clicks (or 4 when switching to a different folder), I can access all of my apps while working inside another app, meaning I don't need to go back to the home screen. You do have Swipepad to make up for it, but as you stated you have access to only 12 apps. You also need to remember 2 ways of multitasking/access (Swipepad and home screen folders), while I condensed mine to just 1 (double tapping the home key to launch my apps). My method also gives an added benefit of security. Some of my Android buddies have looked through my phone and asked me how I access my apps when I have nothing on my home screen except widgets.
I see why you want to be careful when using hardware buttons though.

I get your point , lemme clarify.I understand that your approach lets you access any app with a min of 3 clicks.Thats for quick access.I am curious ,how do you switch between recent apps ?
I now realize with my approach, quick access to apps without leaving the home screen is needed.Since I am careful about my Home button , I found this
SmartTaskbar : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smart.taskbar&feature=related_apps
Currently , To Access
Apps , When on homescreen , it takes 2 clicks.
Apps , When not on homescreen , it takes 3 clicks
Recent apps, It takes one swipe. (Wavelauncher/Dock4Droid)
Some very Imp apps/Tools , It takes one swipe. (Swipepad) But limitation of swipepad free version is 12. Found a new app 'App Launcher' which allows for same functionality but requires 1 swipe + 1 click.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app-launcher/net.talondesigns.quicklaunch
Sensitive Data / Hidden Apps , I use the Home2 shortcut approach.
All apps anytime without switching to homescreen , I use Smarttaskbar.

Since I'm on ICS, I just use the stock multitasking button that comes with it for recent app switching.

Swipepad + MoreSpace( swipepad addon) + WidgetPad(swipepad addon) is the bomb.

Sorry for mistakes, I speak french

I just changed value in key layout file without Xposed. It worked flawlessly. Long press and short press both fully working.

Xposed is used to assign advanced commands.

I see. How safe is Xposed to install ATM (could I ever possibly need a USB jig)? Running the first original firmware released for S8+

I completed the article hoping to have answered the question

All this instead of just using bxactions which does the same thing?

You've blatantly copied and pasted stuff from other threads here, give credit where it is due please.
Be aware xposed at this stage is unofficial, experimental and unstable.
This can all be achieved minus double tap with other methods (need root to edit kl file tho). Don't steal people's hard work and effort and pretend it's yours, link to their threads.

Quite simply because xposed edge offers much more possibility of personalizing the Bixby button

Apparently, you did not read the entire guide because, at the end of each step, I put the source. So after putting the source, I did not believe it was my job. Everything I did as described above in the guide, I made a guide of all I did to be able to customize the Bixby button.
And to test other methods like Bxactions, I can tell you that there is much more possiblity of personalization with this method.
But for the Xposed case you're completely right I'll presume it still unstable.
I would add a second time the source as the end of the guide this time. So that one can see it well and that one does not say that I have spent the work of the others for mine.

Cheers, didn't see that. I'm going to install xposed again at some point and test this method out myself, you're right in tasker does have a bit of overhang and chews up resources, and can have a short delay depending on your multitasking habits etc. Most likely won't use this as a method until systemless xposed is more stable or rovo releases an offical n version.

There is to begin with a better reactivity of my personal feelings and
For example :
Recents apps
Menu
Sleep/wake up
Split screen
Fast scroll
Soft keyboard
Edit
Clipboard
Auto brighness
Wifi
Bluetooth
NFC
Sync
Wifi AP
Stay awake
Torch
Gesture control
Key control
Previous app
Next app
Kill app
Kill foreground app
Kill background app
Shortcuts panel
Custom panel
Apps drawer
Asjust and Succesive adjust
Multi-action(pro only)
Shell command(pro only)
And much more...
P.S. One had to look at the images
After you can stay on "Bxactions" if it suits you

I can not guarantee you will not worry.
But for my part I did not have any apparent problems of instability or bug.
And from what I read it works perfectly in general on the S8.

Hey all,
Really hoping someone has a solution,
last night i manually updated the Generic.kl file via the text editor, after changing the value from WINK to VOICE_ASSIST i've lost all manual buttons?
-Have tried:
Changing it back, Duhh.. - Did not work.
Copying a fresh copy of someones elses "Generic" file. (thought i may have accidentally changed an additional value)
Factory reset.
Have now reflashed my rom.
Any other idea's? For the life of me i cant work out how to get my buttons back..

When you have finished modifying generic.kl, you have to check that in the properties of the file the attributes are "rw-r--r--" otherwise you modify them. And you reopen the file to be sure that it is still readable. It can happen that according to the text editor use, the file genreric.kl is re-coded differently after the modification.
(Personally I use Solid Explorer to realize all his)
If not simpler here is the file genric.kl modified so that you can replace it directly but you will only have to check your attributes once the file replace.

Another safer solution is to flash this zip file and there will be nothing to check.

I'm in the same boat as the other guy, I have done as you said and tried both ways you suggested but still my buttons don't work
---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------
I finally fixed it. All I had to do was basically redo everything g from the beginning only correctly this time. I was so worried about my buttons not working that I gave up on the bixby key alone and was just trying to get it back to normal that I didn't even thing to just start from scratch as if it was still working . If that makes sense. I feel like I'm not making sense tho .
