Hey all,
Has anyone successfully been able to use a 3 button headset controller? The center button works fine for me, but the other two don't which is kind of annoying. I've tried all the apps in the market and none of them report the button pressing event. Is that something I can monitor on the terminal?
I'm using rooted stock. Haven't tried out other mods yet but I am looking forward to doing that soon. Would this be mod dependent?
Thanks.

no, it is an android limitation. it doesn't work. it is single button only
but ther eis an app somewhere that can use jestures with that single button to do different things and works with all the music apps. forgot the name though. not what you are looking for but maybe a good alternative.
Ok, thanks! I'll just use one of the market apps to do 1-button combos.

I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket and inserted ArmyVet AOKP ROMand everything was fine until today for some odd reason whenever I use the single button headset instead of changing, pausing or playing it increases the volume. I cannot find the reason nor the app that is causing it. Don't want to go through the long process of testing each app. anyone experienced this before or knows the app or solution?

I found something interesting on the Amazon store I thought I would share, I found this is incredibly useful for me so hopefully is to someone else.
this should work on pretty much any Android device but I'm posting it here as it is the only one I can/have tested it on.
I cannot post links yet but it can be found on Amazon UK under the name "Satechi BT MediaRemote Bluetooth Multi-Media Remote Control"
It's a small Bluetooth remote for iPad/iPhone/Mac and very quietly mentions Android so I decided to buy one and see how it goes as I needed something like it for my car.
Anyway it arrived this morning and I love it, I've successfully used it and I've been able to remap keys using the "External Keyboard Helper Pro" app by "Apedroid" which allows remapping of keys to media keys or launching apps.
All keys on the remote can be remapped except the wireless symbol which un-pairs and goes into discover mode.
My requirements were a remote that allows me to change tracks while driving but it also got Google now working in my car Bluetooth system. (it did not connect properly when I launched it via car voice controls)
I have now got the keyboard button remapped to switch to the maps app and the mute button to launch Google now so once Google now is done I have a button to go back to the navigation screen .
I have also been fairly successful in getting this to work with Tasker however it required a small workaround by exporting the task as an app (via Tasker App Factory) and then using "External Keyboard Helper Pro" to launch it.
My only issue with the remote at the moment is that it connects as a hardware keyboard meaning I cannot type while using it (obviously not an issue in the car though)
All this was done on a non rooted Nexus 4 on 4.4.2 so root is not required by the way.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I'm going to figure out how I can bind the other 9 keys on the remote
Oh and finally if you do use the app in question and use Tasker I'd recommend exporting a Tasker task which launches the intent "android.intent.action.VOICE_COMMAND" rather than using the built in voice control key setting.
Dude!! I have totally been looking for this! I like playing podcasts from my phone while I'm working in the garage, so I hook the phone up to my stereo but whenever I need to pause it or adjust the volume, I gotta go clean up or slide out from under the car... This will be perfect!! I'm totally ordering this right now!! Thanks brother (or sister?)!!

Could you please check if there are any answer call buttons or microphones on this thing? Personally I hope not because it happens so easy in your pocket.
I'm working on native gamepad support for the ported PS4 Remote Play app (see original thread). Unfortunately I don't have access to my PS4 for the next month, so I'm hoping to get help testing from users with access to the Sixaxis Controller app, a PS4, and the ability to send me logcat output.
I will be working on touchpad, accelerometer and gyroscope support for the DualShock 4 controller in coming days, however these will require the Sixaxis Controller app once complete.
BETA 5 Change log:
- Fixed support for DualShock 4 controllers connected without Sixaxis Controller app.
Here is a log file.

Thanks for that. Very useful!
I think I've figured it out. Can you try the attached version and try connecting a controller in the Sixaxis Controller app. Make sure you don't have any touch profile active, and that you have 'Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad' checked. If it works, it will only be the digital buttons at this stage. Let me know how you go!

Remote play force closes just before it connects to ps4. Ps4 did turn on, says that i connected on ps4. Just the app itself keeps crashing. I attached another log hopefully it helps

I did something dumb. How about this version...
Also, don't forget logcat output if it fails to work.
sir_earl, thanks for your work! This will make a huge difference in the performance of remote play. The main issue I currently have is that the on screen overlay controls will fade away if no touch is detected in a second or so which requires double touches to perform the intended action from time to time.
I'll test this out.
Ditto, sounds like the right solution. Need to check this out now!! :cyclops:
Here's my logcat after running test 5. No problems as far as force closing. Ran just like normal.
I had my ds4 connected via your app with native gamepad support on. Nothing happened at all in the logcat when I pressed buttons on the ds4. Not sure if it was supposed to. Haha.
Thanks for your work!

I can report the same thing with v5. Nothing in logcat when pressing any of the DS4 buttons. Looking forward to further testing
If there's no output, then something is trapping the key events. Might be the on-screen controls, so I've done a build that hopefully won't show the overlays (if they're still showing, let me know and I'll take another look).

Likewise
I feel more confident about this version! The last one actually should have worked if I had built it correctly. Fortunately I was able to bring up the correct activity so I could test the key events without a PS4 connected, so this one should work.

Downloaded and installed. I will test when I get home. Do I need sixaxis app to test this version?

Gamepad works with v7, but button mapping is wrong. I can't do logcat right now, but hopefully someone else can provide a proper log. Great work so far!
Thanks great news! Does this mean that we can use Stock Android gamepad compatible controllers with our Phones? e.g. using sixaxis enabler in cases where ppl like myself do not have a rooted phone?
As reported it works except square is switched with x, and triangle and circle are switched. R2 and L2 don't work at all. The left stick just acts as if it is the dpad and the right one doesn't work. Share button also does nothing, but options works perfectly. Another obvious problem is the playstation button brings you to the phone's home screen automatically. I'm guessing you were aware of a lot of these but I just wanted to make sure.
Oh and I went to do a logcat nothing at all shows up when I do "| grep RemotePlay" and so I tried doing a regular logcat and there was nothing about remote play in that either. Shrug.

Great news. I'll be able to address most of these issues fairly easily now. Unfortunately most (all?) Android devices map the PS button to the home key (this is based on a system configuration file), so the PS button can't be captured by apps. I could add a custom fix for the Sixaxis controller app, but we'll get to that last - you've still got on-screen controls.
Also, some devices will map square, X, triangle and cirle differently, so this could be problematic. Sixaxis controller allows you to change these mappings under 'Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Edit Mappings.
I will add analog sticks and L2 / R2 in the next build.
If anyone can try native gamepads that don't use the Sixaxis app (i.e. controllers with OTG cable) and report their results, that would be helpful too.
Hi otg with sixaxis enabler is how I'm testing it. So far so good only tried out resogun as only had a min but sticks and o / x def working!
Hello friends, I am Naveen Naushad, an indie Android developer from India. Recently I got a G3 D855 for myself and loved the volume quick launch option while the screen is off. I came from a Galaxy Note 1 which had an AOKP ROM that allowed you to toggle flashlight by holding the volume button. I missed that feature on G3 and wanted to enable it badly, that too without root as I am pretty much happy with the device as it is.
With that in mind, I set out to develop an app that allowed this without root access and here I am with LG Key Plus. With this app you can:
Toggle flashlight with built-in option, without touching the screen
Launch any app
Execute even Launcher shortcuts such as Direct Dial, Direct Navigation and much more.
Should work on all variants of G3, even the "mini" G3 variants such as G3 Beat, Stylus, S etc.. although I not tested
The idea behind this app is to set it as the default app for Volume keypress events. You just have to do it once.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp
The app is completely free, without ads. Works only on stock LG ROM. Tested successfully on a G3 D855 running KitKat (V10L) and Lollipop (V20E), which brings me to...
Lollipop Compatibility
I received Lollipop update today morning and guess what? It looks like LG has hardcoded their own Camera app as the default Volume Down app. That means you can't change the Volume Down action on Lollipop. But Volume Up works great. I believe most people wanted to change only the Volume Up shortcut (from Quick Memo to something useful) as Volume Down shortcut of camera is actually quite useful.
If you liked the app, please donate and support my work. And let me know your feedback. Thank you.
Wow thanks
Can I change the vol buttons to music controls? I'm on CM12
EDIT: nvm I didn't read the part "STOCK LG ROM only"
Sorry
it doesn't work on Cloudy L Rom V2 !!
Works fine on ChupaChups rom !! U can only toggle the volume up button!! But its ok since i use the volume down for camera any way !!
Thanks dude !!
Working on stock D851 except the volume plus key doesnt work if you have the quick circle case on. It didnt work with quick memo before installing app either so it is expected.
edit: nvm, found it
Thanks, very good app...
It doesn't work with quick circle case closed. Can you fix this?

The volume up key is designated for qmemo before this mod. If you notice it doesnt work with qcircle case too only volume down. It would probably require this to be a root app to achieve that.

Oh is it? Thanks for the info. I don't use a Quick Circle case so never knew that.

That's correct. And I want to keep the app as a non-root app as I am not planning to root my G3 any soon.
For some reason the screen stays off when I use the volume down key to activate the camera. The camera app opens, I just need to double tap to wake the screen. Cloudy1.2 on D850.
That shouldn't be happening. There is specific code written to wake the screen and unlock the device, before launching the chosen app (except when it is the built in flashlight).
Could you please change the shortcut to another app and see if that wakes the screen correctly?
The build in flashlight turns off after a couple of seconds and the notification gets stuck.

have anybody any idea how i can change aplications on this quick launch? on kitkat i has 3 apps, but when i update to lollipop, 2 apps is missing

Does G Pro 2 launch apps like Quick Memo and Camera when you press the volume buttons while the phone is locked? I can't test it out as I don't have that device.

The "notification getting stuck" issue will be fixed in the next update but I still haven't figured out why the flashlight turns off quickly in certain devices.
App works great to change the volume up and be able to enable torch, thanks; but when the shortcut is changed from quick memo to torch I lose the ability to use quick memo to draw on what I see in screen and save it as screenshot.
So I had to uninstall the app to be able to "draw" on the screen again.

I saw this issue posted on another forum by someone else with no responses. I know many of you here probably don't have the Facebook messenger app installed/enabled because of the the reports of battery drain but I figured I would try my luck and ask anyway as I have this issue as well now. If you do have the app installed, or are familiar with how it works, there is a quick reply emoticon button (default is thumbs up) to the right of the chat box which you can press once to send the emoticon (or hold the button to make it bigger). Several months ago this stopped working for me on my lollop Sprint Note 5. One day I just noticed the thumbs up icon stopped working. Pressing it makes the button depress action but then does nothing. Holding it to make the thumb bigger does nothing. Changing the emoticon default to something other than a thumb does nothing. Since the app is baked into the OS I can't completely get rid of it without root (to my knowledge). I tried deleting the cache, then the data, then "uninstalling updates," then reinstalling the updates, but the problem remains. I have submitted many feedback reports to Facebook through the app but have received no response. I don't know what else I can do at this point. Is there a way to contact Facebook and actually get a response?Any other suggestions on how I can get this to work?
Yea it doesnt work for me either

Looks like this other guy is using AT&T and has the problem as well.... I really wish I could get a response from Facebook. Is there any way to roll back the app to see which version broke it? http://forums.androidcentral.com/fa...cebook-messenger-quick-emoji-reply-error.html
In case anyone has been following this (doubtful) it looks like the issue was caused by something I did in developer options. I don't know which specific option it was that broke that function but when I turned it off and restarted the phone thumb button is now working. I will have to go through the options to see exactly what the problem one was.
