PIE button remapper (not home page way, no more opening PIE :) )

Hi,
I found it very annoying to always close PIE after changing home page to opera.exe.
I don't know if somebody has already done it,(haven't found anything with searching) so here it is
And I am planning to rewrite my PIE button-> Ctrl remapper to WM6 so this was a great practice.
This program patches the already loaded keybddr.dll in memory by writing HKLM\Software\KeybPatch, PIEButton(string) value to keybddr.dll at 0x17120D4 adress.
Install :
--------
1. unzip kbpatch.zip and copy kbpatch.exe to Universal's \Windows\Startup
directory
2. Open your favourite registry editor and make KeybPatch key under
HKLM\Software.
3. Make PIEButton string value under HKLM\Software\KeybPatch with the path and executable to your new PIE button program.
For example on my Universal:
PIEButton(string) = \Program Files\Opera\opera.exe
LImitation : the length of the string must be smaller 55.
kbpatch.exe will warn you if you exceed this limit.
4. start kbpatch.exe. If everything is okay, this won't show you any notification.
5. Press PIE button
Your favourite program should start instead of PIE
Update ( PIE button --> Ctrl reassign howto)
---------------------------------------------------
1. Follow the above steps to install kbpatch.exe until point 2.
2. unzip simkey.zip and copy simkey.exe to Universal's
\Windows\StartUp directory
3. Make a new string value under HKLM\Software\KeybPatch.
PIEButton(string) = \Windows\StartUp\simkeys.exe
4. Change PieHomePage value under HKLM\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD to
the string "Ctrl"
5. Tap on kbpatch.exe
Tap on simkeys.exe (You will never have to do this again )
6. Try your new Ctrl button
Ctrl is sticky of course.
You can also try piectrl.cab. Just install and soft reset.
You can change PIEButton later, but to accept changes, you have to do a soft reset.
Envelope button reassign is coming soon

COOL! thanx!
hmm, makes me wonder, maybe now there's a way we could take control over the PIE button to map it as ALT key? (with PQz)

Yes, It can be done.
The solution is very keybddr.dll dependant, but it's possible.
You can't do this with PQZ unless the author modify its code.

Source code
Okay, here is the source code :
( dedicated to g0dspeed , but I paste it here, so anybody who interested can see it )
Code:
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
WCHAR string[55];
WCHAR origstring[]=L"\\windows\\iexplore.exe";
HRESULT res;
if((res=RegistryGetString(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,L"Software\\KeybPatch",L"PIEButton",string,54))==S_OK)
{
int size=wcslen(string);
string[size+1]=(WCHAR)L"\0";
DWORD *pointer = ((DWORD *)0x17120D4);
HINSTANCE hInst =LoadLibrary(L"keybddr.dll");
if(memcmp(pointer,origstring,21*2)==0)
{
DWORD oldProtect,old1;
VirtualProtect(pointer,size*2+1,PAGE_READWRITE,&oldProtect);
memcpy(pointer,string,size*2+1);
VirtualProtect(pointer,size*2+1,oldProtect,&old1);
}
else
{
MessageBox(NULL,L"I won't do anything :)\nYou are running this thingie on a wrong OS version or keybddr.dll is already patched.",L"Error",MB_OK);
}
FreeLibrary(hInst);
}
else
{
if(res==E_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER)
MessageBox(NULL,L"Error copying registry string value to keybddr.dll\nThe string value is too long.(Max 49 chars)",L"Error",MB_OK);
else
MessageBox(NULL,L"Error copying registry string value to keybddr.dll\nMaybe the reg.value doesn't exists or type error occured.",L"Error",MB_OK);
}
return 0;
}

thanks a lot.
I think if kbpatch.exe could find 'windows\iexplore.exe' (by itself) start from where keybddr.dll loaded address (in keybddr.dll's file size), it worked well in any environment.
I changed value 0x17120d4 -> 0x148135c and worked at WM5-Uni O2 1.30.162 cooked ROM.
#I have only EVC4 and couldn't build new executable file so I patched oridinal kbpatch.exe...

szilamer, Thanks.
Is it possible also to remap MessageCenter and OK button?
Now i have "Ctrl" key with kbpatch + PQz_KEY(http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQz_KEY.htm)
Any possible to have "Alt" key and "ESC" key at the same time?

Yeah..count my request too for remapping the messaging button

Hmm, can you write me exactly how did you call pqz_key ?
( what parameters, what's your PIEButton value ? )

I've tried that pqz_keys but I think it's not good for this job.
You cannot make it to send a keyup message, so you will have a stuck ctrl button. Try simkey instead
Or do you know a trick for pqz_keys, that I don't know ?

I've set the IE button up to Opera as instructed which works great thanks.
However, am I missing something in wishing that clicking a link in a message would open up Opera rather than PIE as it still does?

Cool! thanks.

Done as per the instructions on first page with "kbpatch". No errors, warnings but PIE button does not work at all now. Tried to put both - way to LNK file of Opera and full route to opera.exe - same result. Neither Opera starts now nor PIE. Anu suggestions?

And I can't copy keybddr.dll to search "iexplore.exe" string in it cause it's locked!
Went to download "ROM kitchen" ...

What is it? why!

the program is from an unknown publisher.you should install it only if you trust its publisher.do you want to continue.
when i install software!

Woooh!
Why not scream it...?
Because we don't know what your talking about.
WTF are you installing

thats the standard security message when you install unsigned software. you could get rid of it by using one of the tweak or adv config apps.

It's not ... unless a moderator just moved it.

Here's the registry value to change.
Code:

If you're the least bit uncomfortable editing the registry, follow gmgonzal recommendation.

[MODS][1920 Manila][12-12-09] Manila Hacks\Edits

I thought it would be a good idea to start a central place for all manila related hacks\edits. I'll post all my Leo Hack\edits here, but others are welcome to do the same. The will be included in the first (few) post(s). I'll post them all in the in the public Leo shared folder, to which we can all upload.
G-Alarm from home tab
GAlarm.exe must be located here: \Program*** (language dependent)\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe
Dutch:

WWE\French:

SWE:

Alarm Hack Home Tab
This is a script that let's you create your own alarm hack on th manila 2.5 home tab.
Supported alarm applications:
- G-Alarm
- SPB Time
- Klaxon
Changelog:
v1.1
- Made it foolproof by adding various checks
- Combined the 2.1 and 2.5 version to a single script
- Added choice.exe to the Tools folder since older versions of windows do not have this
v1.2
- Added support for CradleAlarm
v1.3
- Added simple logging
Guide:
When you double click the .cmd or launch from the command prompt it will:
- Ask for the version of your Sense (2.1 or 2.5) Leo = 2.5
- Ask for the name of your storage card (case sensitive) -> no card, hit ENTER
- Ask for the name of your "Program Files" folder (case sensitive) -> if you hit enter it will be name "Program Files" by default
- Ask for the name of the alarm application
- Ask if you would like to have a cab created or just the manila file (for cooking purposes)
- Create a cab called: "12aon Alarm Hack Home Tab.cab" which needs to be installed in main memory (where the manila files reside)
Alarm Hack Home Tab v1.3​

Thanks 12aon !
G-Alarm from home tab > How could it be used on a french ROM ?
What do you need to create a cab for french ROM ?

the path where GAlarm.exe is located like:
WWE: (\Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe)

12aon. Can I ask something. If we install G-Alarm, I'm guessing your CAB above will link into it from the alarm button on the home screen yes?

Great hack, thanks
Please note that G-Alarm must be installed in main memory to use it.

Seems like a neat little program, unfortunatly it doesn't work on the Swedish version since the path is \Program\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe instead of the international version which have \Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe

Good and useful app. Thanks.
WWE works on my French ROM
May it work also on other device than the Leo?

Yup as long as its using 2.5 manila

Would appear the fix goes bad when removing both the fix and G-Alarm 12aon. Got any ideas?
See here

I'd love it if there was a cab that would work for if GAlarm was on the storage card too. It should pose no problem to a man of your calibre
Storage Card\Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe
Pretty please

To me that seems highly unlikely, as I edited the lua source code directly. Therefore uninstalling G-Alarm would be as likely to break the the shortcut without my fix as with my fix. I posted in the thread and we shall see,

I was waiting for this request to be made, but alas. I'm cool with making edits for different languages, but to make edits as well for the storage cards with all the different languages and different names for different cards will only get confusing in my opinion. For now if you want this to work install it in main memory, your HD2 will be able to handle that,

This was my complaint, don't worry you just need to soft reset after uninstalling at it's fine

Wouldn't it be possible to make it either search the device for the galarm.exe or ask the user to point at their installation?
Just a thought
I like the idea of this tweak. I just can't be bothered reinstalling the app

I confirm in french ROM the path is also :
\Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe

[Project] Android Modding Suite [v0.21b Available]

Hello Everybody,
First thing I'm NOT a modder / hacker, I'm just a programmer trying to help making things faster and easier.
This project is FREE and always will be, and it will NOT be supported by ads.
So, My idea is to make a suite (program) that will have a very friendly GUI, which will allow you to do things you used to do it using command line in just one click.
The project will be done using C#, so it will be for Windows at this phase.
Current ideas I will be working on:
alutastischs Android Suite - I got his permission and he is in with me
Mass APK's installer - will allow you to install any number of APKs from your PC with just 1 click. (DONE!)
Font Changer. (DONE!)
Auto Partition size changer - (Thread by eyegor) still need to take permission from Firera. (Original Thread Here)
File browser.
Automated Splash Screen Changer - Choose any picture and use it as a splash image. (DONE!)
So, If any of you guys have any good idea to add it to the project, or anything that requires you to do it in cmd, i will try my best to added it.
Again, I'm NOT creating any new "methods" or "hacks", I'm just trying to make a GUI for the current great work that the other guys did
Log:
Beta 2.1 (v0.21b):* "Back to Default" font fixed
* Added "About Info"​Beta 2 (v0.2b):* Splash Screen Changer
* Fixed some bugs​Beta 1 (v0.1b):* First Release
* Font Changer
* APK installer​
The Beta Application can be found in the attachments,
I extremely need feedback and comments from all.
Current release is safe to use as far as i tried, but USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
if you faced any error, press (Cancel) and inform me.
Thanks Everybody in Advance
Ata,

Take a look at dsixda's android kitchen, it does some useful stuff that you should include.

I'm in
Count me in too ..
Even though i'm a beginner, but i have some fair to good knowledge in C#, so i think i can help

good idea!
Good idea man, I was thinking about doing something similar for my own use.
I'm a c/java programmer, I studied some C# but I never had the chance to work on it. Anyway I guess I could give you some help, at least with the translations (Italian/Spanish) if you want to include them.
If you want I could check some code you wrote and try to write something by myself but I'm not pretty sure about the results

Well, thanks man,
I am sure you can help in translation,
It is a good idea to have it multi-lingual
I think i will start a new Google Code Project so that anyone wanna help can join.

Good news, I almost finished the 1st beta version,
It will be uploaded tomorrow night,
It includes fully working "Mass Apk Installer" and "Phone Font Changer"
Stay tuned

Check 1st Post for Beta 1

AMAZING!

(F) 2 Exceptions which were raised during XAML enum casting. The problem was,that i changed the internal ViewMode from Computer to Drives, but not in 2 sections of the XAML so that i can use it on both models, the Local.ListView and Remote.ListView.
06.03.2019 [0.0.5.1]
(A) The Contacts namespace
(A) The Remote-Desktop menu item to the Explorer menus
16.02.2019 [0.0.4.2]
(F) The "Usage" column on the remote Listview when it's in "Device" mode. The problem was, that the usage was not shown... Reason for this was a wrongly placed converter.
(R) Reduced code duplication (saved ~23 kb)
07.02.2019 [0.0.4.1]
Only a fresh build aligned to the AndroidCtrl.dll
Older Changes:
29.01.2019 [0.0.4.0]
(A) The RemoteDesktop namespace, model and views
(R/U) Nearly everything related to the Local-/Remote-/Explorer
Reordered the Explorer namespace... The old layout was:
Actions - Explorer actions like copy/move, delete, tar and properties
Explorer - Remote explorer
ExplorerLocal - Local explorer
The new layout is:
Explorer - Main explorer stuff (delegates, enums, etc.)
Explorer.Actions - Explorer actions like copy/move, delete, tar and properties
Explorer.Local - Local explorer part
Explorer.Remote - Remote explorer part
Explorer.Shared - Shared models, views for the "Local" and "Remote" explorer part
09.04.2018 [0.0.3.1]
This is a complete new version!
Not compatible with older builds of the AndroidCtrl.dll!
* Aligned the code to the new version of the AndroidCtrl.dll
* Optimised the code
* Added a lot of new stuff like the "GlassWindow" and the "ControlMenu"

Reserved just in case!

Hey there,
to use the dll on WinXP/7/8 (32 /64 bit) u have to create a new WPF application in for example MSVS 2012/2013 etc.. In this project u have to implement the dll as described in the How-To after u have finished this step, u can place the UI elements as described in this post. (U have also the ability to redesign all elements! If u need the bindings and behaviors let me know, i dun have them public atm. bu i'll send u my raw files if needed.)
Hope i could help u. If need help to implement this dll or my other, just let me know!
Regards,
Sebastian

Np, i send u my Multi-Explorer [BETA] which i'm coding currently.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To all other, who comes here as an "End-User", if u want to test my Multi-Explorer [BETA] just let me know, via PM or simply post here.
Currently it includes the complete MVVM - described in the OP + an Windows, FTP (currently NO SFTP) and an Joomla! (The Joomla! plugin u need is also written by me in PHP (J!1.5.x - 2.5.x are Supported)) - Explorer plugin.

Just a quick question!
Does this need AndroidCtrl.dll as well?

Sweet! I'll be looking into it!

How about a pre-compiled installer for everyone to use? Make it pop up under "Computer" tab in windows would make it perfect and seamless to use. It could laso be used by total noobs.
Please reply with a quote or mention.

Hey there,
THX for that idea! But, just atm. i dun know what u mean exactly with "...Make it pop up under "Computer" tab in windows..." - This is no C, C+ or C++ DLL, so i think it can't work native with the Windows API. Coz it's only .NET.
-
For this idea, i think, i have to rewrite the whole thing as CLR dll. - If not, i would be really happy if u can wise me the right direction!

Sebastian

Well, my idea was to make the device appear in here
Or you could maybe somehow do some hooks to the MTP on the device or to the driver itself to appear under computer on the screenshot. Like you can choose intrnal or external memory in MTP, but you can't see any of the files from the root directory ATM, and there COULD be a way to see a root directory the same way.
Maybe changing MTP mountpoints or something? I'm not really sure how does even the MTP works now, but that's the first thing that came into my mind about it.
Maybe another tab on the left side bar in the computer window on the screenshot with that root directory of the device?
Let me know if you would need any help. I'd be happy to help you on this
I'm out of thanks button clicks today, but I'll make sure tou thank you later

Hey there,
the idea is really great! But, we have there many issues... 1st) MTP works native so far more bad as good... Also we have (as described in the link and it's links) to reassemble the "MTP" dll our selves and we also have to patch it. - My thoughts about this problem. - That's why i try to get the MTP working via the "Windows-Management API" (!Still working on it, but not primary!)
About the MTP "hooking" or even "mountpoint switching", this is a really awesome idea! I never thought about it on this way! T H X ! - If we can get this working it will be awesome, also we dun need in this case a "Self-Coded" Explorer. Coz windows opens us all doors! - But, we have another problem, if someone try to find a device connected via MTP in an .NET environment it's (i think) impossible to enumerate the device(s). Coz, at this point we need a working MTP API which is currently not really available.
- If i get the MTP via "Windows - Management API" to work i'll let u know! -
PS: THX for u offer to help me! - i'm sure, i'll come back to it!
Regards,
Sebastian

@k1ll3r8e
I'm not entirely sure what do you mean by .NET enviroment.
As for that mountpoint hooking xposed could be a good idea of trying this out. There's anotehr problem if that would work via MTP since root is in EXT* format and that's not really readable by the PC. If you would base it on ADB then you would need modified ADBD library for that on stock roms or adb push won't work. Just a heads up on that.
If you would ever get this to work I'm sure that every android power user would be very grateful as it's a whole another level.
Good luck!
PS. Please mention me anytime you get something new or you would need any help

Hey there,
about the .NET environment, i mean devs/coder which uses C# or VB (both are .NET languages). And with this langs we have the problem, that we need in any case at 1st a working MTP interface for .NET, so that we can enumerate the connected devices and later their contents. But this is currently a big problem. Sure there where (i dun know it 100%) a few C+ or C++ MTP dll's around, but, without documentation, it's i think, nearly impossible to write an interface for such an dll.
So i'll try it with the Windows-Management API . - Currently i can enumerate my device via WMI but not it's content... I'll work on it for sure!
EDIT:
Here are a few links which helped me a lot to understand how WMI works.

I'll definitely try to dig this deeper later on. I don't see why should we support .NET enviroment. It's still going to work under windows, doesnt it? I haven't used anything that's in .NET for my device so far. (or I have no idea I did, but I doubt it)
