I recently rooted my phone and edited my keyboard layout files a little(/system/usr/keylayout/). I made up and down "z" and "x" but it didn't work instantly. I backed them up onto my sdcard and have restored them to their original state.
Then, like a day later I noticed the numbers and special characters had been shuffled. I assumed the device automaticly had switched layout from the milestone2 one to the qwerty.kl one. I tried the up and down keys and they produced x's and z's. Then after a while the phone started acting very weird:
The keyboard stopped working.
When spamming keys for a while the phone will go to the homescreen and sometimes reboot.
The menu, home, back keys all do the same thing. It is sometimes something of a combination of back and home. It fades to black and goes to the starting position of the current application. And sometimes the phone will freeze and reboot.
Whenever I use the on-screen keyboard to erase a character or input a number the phone will perform something of a double back-action.
I have tried to to a factory reset in the privacy menu multiple times with my phone un-rooted.
I have also done a factory reset with the 'x' + power then @-key about 3 times but my problem is still there.
Any help on how to resolve this is appreciated.
Thanks!
I fixed it using these:

So I have GingerDX installed with no issues except this one. I tried wiping and fresh install but it is still an issue for me.
It mostly happens with the keyboard, everytime I bring it up, I get the background and empty screen. When I press back, keyboard goes away and everything goes back to normal. It happens with default keyboard and swype which is the keyboard I want to use.
I have seen it occur at other times occasionally though. Anybody got any ideas? This basically makes the phone unusable if I can't type.
Oh and if I rotate the screen, sometimes, it causes the keyboard to appear with squeezed input box and I can use the phone but other times, this does not work.

Hello,I bought a HTC Desire S around 4 months ago.
From past 2 days i have lot of problems with it.
1.Home screen button not working
2.Q,A keys are not working while typing(they work when i rotate the screen)
3.Wen i rotate the screen and start typing the whole keys on the least bottom dont work.
4.Sometimes if i press back key it goes to selection option...sometimes whole phone hangs.
5.Im not able to download from market...after i click download it shows downlading icon but it never starts download.
I made factory reset for couple of times but no use.
Any one have some suggestions?
numbers 1 to 4 seem like some sort of problem with your touchscreen... Have you tried wiping it with some clean cloth after breathing on it? My back button has some issues registering touches once in a while, but wiping it helps always
Regarding 5, I don't know really, but have you tried using the webmarket?

ya i tried wiping it but not working
Does the area where your Q and A keys are when in portrait work when the keyboard is not on? Can you use it to click items, scroll webpages etc?
One other thing you could try is the calibrate option for the keyboard. (somewhere in settings-> languages I think, it's been a while since I ran an Sense ROM).
If both yield no result, it sounds like a hardware issue to me, and you might be best of to invoke your warranty.
When I do a long press to move or delete an app/icon on the home screen, nothing happens - no wobble or options - nothing. They did flash momentarily when I first got the phone. I am also unable to move apps or widgets from the app menu. However, touch seems to work just fine for everything else. I have done a full device reset, a general reset, and have tried different launchers. Any suggestions? This is android 4.2.2 and the phone is rooted. Probably hardware but am hoping. Has anyone run across this?
can't find this info anywhere but please redirect me to appropriate page if i've missed it.
using android 5.1 DU test-v9.2 on nexus 5 32Gb
this has been stable for a few weeks until i changed themes today. i backedup via cwm up after installing theme, on reboot i can't get past screen for sim pin.
i press the onscreen keys, the keys show they have been pressed, but there is no sound or vibration and the numbers don't appear above the keypad.
as i can't get past this i can't use the phone.
changing to the last good backup does not fix this.
I've had to do a factory format and reinstall to get back to a working phone. Though it occurred to me in the middle of the process i could remove the sim and change the settings back.
anyone know what's going on? I suspect it may have something to do with fonts but have nothing to base that on.
thanks
I factory reset my phone and during the process of signing in, agreeing to T&C's etc, a strange problem started occurring - the touchscreen became super unresponsive (had to press something three of five times for it to respond), however, at the same time, the phone would quickly vibrate on touch multiple times, but again, not actually do anything. Moreover, a weird blue text box started appearing around the options I touched and I can't swipe down to access the normal settings menu.
And to top it all off, if I long hold the power button to force restart/power off, it just won't do it. (tried the old "turn it off and on" trick to see it'll do the trick)
Everything was all normal until this point, had my phone for a couple of months, haven't dropped it or anything. Does anyone know why this is happening, and if so, how to fix this?
Thanks so much in advance!

In fact, I can't swipe at all ... in the app drawer if I swipe, it just goes to the next app , instead of the next screen.
