[Q] SOLVED App or Mod for Power Button on to Soft Keys?

Guys I was just wondering if there's an App or Modification that can be done to use the Soft Keys like Search Button as an alternate Power Button or maybe just Wake Up/Sleep?

Well as far as I see unlock needs to be on hardware buttons only, but to turn off the screen and lock without using the power button you can use screen off and lock, it gives you a home widget and notification widget option that'll turn off the screen.

I don't think the soft keys could work as they rely on the touchscreen which the screen needs to be on for. Soft keys for power is a bad idea anyway!

look at this video guys I think he manage to use the Search Function as Screen Lock/Sleep and as an alternate Power Button.
I can also do Screen Lock with Screen Off and Lock App, but not the Power Menu.

I want the same thing too. I wonder what did he do to his phone? an app or he mod it himself?

The soft keys are still a part of your touchscreen, pointer mode and opening the phone can tell you that. So of you want to use it to wake your phone, the whole touch screen must be activated....
It IS possible, but not battery friendly and not very easy in use.
Instead, why not use volume keys?

Use this to TURN OFF the screen using the search key. Just follow the instructions.
Screen Off and Lock
Then this to TURN ON the screen using proximity sensor. (might not be battery friendly)
Tap Tap App
Confirmed both are working perfectly..

Screen off and lock is great but to turn phone on it can't be done, was hoping of application that can get the phone to switch on via volume rocker

I managed too.
I had a tip from this post: Push me
The point is to edit the *.kl file.
But first do a nand backup!!!
I edited the following files (don't now if all are needed, but i thought i take the ones who match to me/my language):
saga-keypad.kl
saga-keypad-wwe.kl
saga-keypad-ger.kl
qwerty.kl
The files are placed in folder /system/usr/keylayout/
Copy them to your pc and make a backup somewhere.
Open the file(s) with an editor and change key 217 SEARCH into key 217 POWER in every of the four files (maybe to edit saga-keypad.kl is enough -> try out and report).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then copy those files in your computer to c:\
Connect your phone with usb cable to pc and boot into recovery. (Make sure adb is correctly installed!)
Open cmd and type in the following commands (after every line push return on pc/cmd):
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push c:\saga-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad.kl
adb push c:\saga-keypad-wwe.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad-wwe.kl
adb push c:\saga-keypad-ger.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad-ger.kl
adb push c:\qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
adb shell reboot
After restarting this should be working like in the video.
Good luck!
If this works for you mark the thread as solved and push thanks
Thanks @ andypig04 for showing the way!

I will try this Sir thanks
need to edit 3 files
qwerty
saga-keypad
saga-keypad-wwe
Thanks.

There are some existing mods, but none around the Infuse forum that I can recall.
In jest, I was thinking of black tape to cover the lights.
I was looking for some google images to post.
I was shocked when I googled "black tape" and then clicked on images.
Be Warned!..lol..some images is not safe for work, minors and the innocences.

BLN needs kernel level support, and there is no proper kernel for Infuse that supports BLN properly.

You sir, just encouraged me even more to Google search such term:laugh:
:victory::silly::highfive:

I have the same problem when watching Netflix. But I found that turning the screen off using the power button, then turning it back on using the power button and unlocking it will keep the soft keys off. They soft keys will stay off as long as you only touch the screen and not the soft keys.

There was support for BlN back in the Froyo days. There is a kernel laying around. If you can find it, find the source, then pm scott with it, he may add it in for us

Softkey backlights disabled via /sys ?
I have seen some posts regarding this issue on other phones where people are
echoing a 0 to files found in the /sys subdirectories
I have downloaded gScript and tried echoing a 0 to /sys/class/misc/melfas_touchkey/brightness and some other files that seemed brightness related - I have had no luck but wondered if anyone else might want to do some experimentation with this.
Also wondering if anyone else found another solution - I am going to try using a wide rubber band tonight.
UPDATE = I bit the bullet and obtained Total Screen Control - I went into the Softkey Backlight options, turned the brightness down to 0 and used the first of the two options (you DO need root) - it took a little bit of playing around (if I hit one of the softkeys at this point they turned back on) but after some trial and error I found that I could disable the softkey, exit the program, turn my ebook reading program on and .... the softkey backlight stayed OFF.
Awesome.
(Still interested in being able to do this with a shell script if possible, wonder how Total Screen Control manages it, any ideas?)

Simple, no Xposed, KK/Lollipop, Torch Lockscreen mod.

This is a very simple mod to enable the Volume-Up Torch feature on the Lockscreen in KK and Lollipop TW ROM, yes including OA8.
A note about the usage of the Flashlight. The mod stay enabled for 30 seconds after the screen goes dark, ie. you have 30 sec to press vol up to get your Flashlight On once the screen is dark.
You just need Root and a SQL editor.
Settings Storage -> settings.db -> system
add two entries:
torchlight_enable = 1
torchlight_timeout = 30000
Reboot

It is not a file, it is a database, you'll need SQLlite or any other SQL editor.
You then select Settings Storage
Then select settings.db
Then select system
Then you click the little + sign
Then you add both entries, as shown by the pictures

Thank you for that break down of steps, it slipped my mind, rarely used sql
edit::: working now, thanks!

Cool forgot about this! Thanks bro got my torch back!

Ok, I made the necessary changes to the database using SQLite, but I still can't turn on the torchlight using the volume key. Am I missing something here? Also, you're picture isn't showing. Could you re-upload to see if I goofed the db changes?

it's not a perfect solution sometimes you have to "wake up" the up volume button by lighting up your screen with the power button briefly, hit the power button again to shut screen off then try the volume up button, torch should work then. sounds like its a hassle but its just three quick button clicks.

Well it's not sticking, the lines are being removed, how, I have no idea what would be writing over the file?

Make sure you are in r/w mode and not r/o if your using Root Explorer. if your using ES Filemanager make sure you granted root access and have it enabled in settings.

It would have warned me about not having root privileges, and I'm set to always grant... Funny thing is, it now sticks, so that's weird.

Only thing I was missing from xposed was my flashlight.. This will definitely hold me over till they get that fixed..

Can someone explain how to do this on lollipop? I updated the database located in the directions in the link below but it doesn't stick. I go back in after a reboot and they new lines are gone.
http://pocketnow.com/2015/01/01/nexus-6-tethering
edit - I copied the database out of that area, made the edit, pasted it back and it sticks now. It still doesn't work. I see another database entry for torch_light = 0. Is that overriding the new entries?

I can´t find Settings Storage with aSQLliteManager. Where is it? on the SD card or on the system drive?

[APP] Pokemon Go+ Type Alerts Using Xiaomi Mi Band (Nexus 5) NON-ROOT

Hi All,
Little app for PoGo alerts on MiBand (and any fitness tracker!)
Basically - it works when the app is running - it allows me to use my Mi Band/BIP like a PoGo+ as well as trying its best to help with the battery saver mode (makes it dimmer and more black!)
The idea is that every time the app vibrates the Band does too, as long as it's allowed in the fitness tracker app. Works for MiBand and for Amazfit Bip in my testing, I assume it works for all smartbands that allow the user to choose apps.
You can choose the features in the app and they will automagically start as long as the 'App Active' button is set to 'ON'.
Optional features are:
* Simulate Go+
* Screen dim when facedown
* Screen dim when upside down
* Screen dim when proximity sensor covered
* Screen dim for both of the above
* Screen timeout set by app screen, resets to previous whe PoGo closes
I'm testing disabling the actual phone screen backlight/LEDs without root but I don't think it's possible (PoGo app closes). Still though, it should be more efficient than PoGo battery saver mode alone.
New install instructions (APK no. 65)
To make sure the app functions correctly you'll need to do the following in the given order.
Install app
Your phone should ask you for some permissions (e.g. draw over over apps)
Accept all the permissions and accessibilty options, but press NO to the 'learn how to enable read logs'
You'll need to open up ADB and allow READ_LOGS to use the GoPlus functionality.
Use the following ADB commands:
adb shell pm grant stoobacca.apps android.permission.READ_LOGS
adb shell am force-stop stoobacca.apps
Go to accessibilty settings and make sure the app is set to ON
Hopefully when you open the app all will work!

Hello, thanks for the app.
Just installed it, and i have a problem

I'll see if I can update for this. Just uploaded a new one which SHOULD make the black screen big enough for all phones

I've updated - I think for all questions people have sent.
My XDA doesn't show any responses to PM's so no idea if anyone has heard from me.
Latest rev. 26 should be OK.
Let me know!

Thank you for your work!
But there some bugs in new version:
1) black rectangle still not fully cover 6" screen
2) screen timeout setting not saved: I set 60, - reopen your app and there again 30
3) when I open pokemon go, then close it and look at display setting (at android menu) I see there is no one radio button selected so there maybe some bugged value set.
4) some of your app menu settings caption have 3 lines and it trimmed at end (nexus 6)

Hey man,
Thanks!
I think I broke some stuff in the most recent version. Will upload a new apk later.
1) The rectangle thing I'm working on.
2) I have set it to display the set variable. It will default to 30 if you force close the app. Might also have a problem if your phone can't support more than 30 (that's why it defaults)
3) I might have fixed this. Could you give me more info - maybe a screenshot?
4) I think I fixed the text display issue, let me know with the new apk. (also screenshot if you can)
Glad you like my app!
Stu

Today i testing version 3.5
+ Timeout option in your app now saves fine. And change phone screen timeout to this value when PoGo opens;
But i think this option is useless, what is the point to set not maximum timeout? It needed only if we cant figure out device's maximum screen timeout.
- Screen timeout does not resets to previous when PoGo hides (In version 2.0 it always resets to 1 min.)
If it difficult to restore previous value i wish to have option to reset it to 30 seconds
- Please add version of your app to top of settings page
- Some text layout bugs:

hi and thx for the app but unfortunately it didn't work.
i have installed your apps, app active and simulate go plus and allowed notification from your app on mi band and tools but doesn't work.
is there anything else to do ?
many thx
edit 1 : turn on accessibilty, app is starting when launching pokemon go but don't get any notification on mi band
i have galaxy S7 edge

Ask author to upload previous version ---> 2.0
I use it, works fine.

try the new version 3.8 , doesn't work.
what is the parameters i have to do in apps and mi band ?
thx

Apparently a lot of time since the last comment, but I feel lucky today.
A dumb question: with this app, can I fully simulate a PoGo+ bracelet or it only receive vibrations from the app?

Is it still working?

dont think so, i couldnt get it to work

I am confused as to how this app works. I believe I have everything set up, it has accessibility access, but I can't seem to get it to work. Could you possibly make us first start/set-up guide? (Moto E4)

Does it still work?

I can look at updating if people are still interested..
Hi All,
Sorry I've not been at all active on this forum..
I've seen people asking if this still works (sorry some were a very long time ago)!
I know it's not really useful now as unfortunately we can't go outside.. but if I can dig out my old files and get this working, would anyone be interested?
I can't guarantee it as I don't play PoGo anymore. But if people are interested, I'll see if I can get some time to try and get it working again.
Cheers, and stay safe!

I would really be interested in this. Don't know if you had any responses in pm.

I second that.

I would be very interested into a new version!

Alright then peeps, I've tracked down a version I backed up so I'll take a look see.
Give me some time and i'll try to get a new version. If you could post any issues here it will help me with what to fix.. it might be all of it so no worries if the lists are long!

Charge battery notification & Sound

Hi everyone, my OnePlus7Pro suffers from the lack of an audible warning when charging and when it is removed from the charge when the phone is " on " it has no message or sound when the battery is 100% charged. For this I have created a simple Apk with tasker to install without root permissions on all OnePlus7Pro that solve this lack. It should work even when the screen is off . If you want to try it, you are free to do so. There is a button in the menu to disable the popup service and the sound but the notification is always running to work. The only permission to give is "storage". Tell me if it consumes a lot of battery and is worth keeping it installed.My goal is to "share" this simple solution with some users who know no solutions .. Consider it a test for now.
Updating 14/07/2019 :
Try this new version. I changed the skin of the popup. I added the vibration . I added the button to activate only the acoustic notification without the popup but only when it is charged and removed from the charge.
Updating new version Full 1.0 / Full.57.apk
18/07/2019
This is a much more complete version. The recharge sound is present when the power is turned on and when it comes off. There is popup, sound, I added the LEDs to the screen off. I added the possibility of using the desired profile on 4 different profiles, the possibility of disabling all the LEDs and all the profiles in case you don't want to use anything. Other little things you need to try on the menu. If you don't use the navigation bar it will be seen in full screen. Tell me if everything works, in the other case I will try to fix it.
* 11/08/2019 *
New version: full.68.apk
"most stable version"
Installation :
Give access to memory as usual and "allow change system settings"
Redesigned smaller LEDs, battery icons with percentages (I think it's more tasty to the eye). In PROFILE 4 Every 25% of charge there will be the display of the battery and an acoustic signal "red 25%, Orange 50%, Yellow 75% and Green from 75 to 100% . Now the screen does not turn off when it is added to the AC recharge. The suspension of the screen will increase the duration to allow the application to work well otherwise the LEDs and icons will be disabled, then everything will return to normal as soon as you remove the AC charge. Now there is a button to prevent the LEDs from being seen in the dark if you have enabled automatic brightness. When profile 4 is running you can activate the screen with a touch on the display. On the menu I tried to give as many explanations as possible and excuse my English if it's not good.
I'm glad to hear from you if you liked it and everything works well. As I said before I can solve if you point out the bugs.

Hi
Amazing idea and indeed it's usefull, I'll test it and let you know.

Hello, thanks for sharing! Do you mind sharing the profile itself?
A few weeks ago I tried doing the same but I was stuck with Tasker not vibrating when the phone is in silent mode.

From what I've heard Oneplus will "fix" this in next updates.

It should vibrate the same even with silent. Perhaps in the next version I will add vibration when removing the USB cable from the power supply and when the popup will appear. Contact me in private because this is an apk, it's not a Tasker discussion.

I'm doing another much more complete version. There will also be the LED, the LEDs based on the percentage of the charge and vibrations when the power is disconnected and attached. There will be 4 profiles to choose from.

Added Full version on the before page. Try it ?
