How have you guys got your shoulder buttons set in FPSE? I have L and R as L1 and R1 and then also have the shoulder buttons onscreen to be able to access L2 and R2. Is that the way we're all doing it or is there a better way?
You can use the volume buttons as well. It depends on the game, mostly. Some games don't use them at all, or they use them for redundant functions.
I tried using the volume buttons but it's hard to press it when you have a case on. It's good to use when you're not using a case but I hate it when I have to adjust the volume because you have to pause the game and adjust in settings.
I just put L2 and R2 on the touchscreen.

Is there a way to put L2 and R2 on the screen without L1 and R1?

I don't think there's a way to just show L2 and R2 on the touchscreen I just checked the settings.

Actually if you press the "Menu" button, the volume buttons return to their original function and you can adjust the volume. It's not a big thing, I'd say.

Thanks I never knew that but I still have troubles using them as buttons because im using a case. I'll just stick to buttons on touchscreen.

depends on the game... mostly they are just set to l1 and r1, and dont even bother with l2/r2... but to thps3 i have the right shoulder button set to r2 for revert, i never used the shoulder buttons for spins on there anyway...
I'm playing Castlevania SOTN at the moment and I mapped L1 and R1 to the physical shoulders and display R1 and R2 virtual buttons in the bottom right corner of the screen.
L2 is not used in this game, R1 R2 L1 are used to transform into a creature.
I just use the volume button. Even if your volume buttons mapped to L2 and R2 you can still change the volume by bringing up the emulator menu and then using them. So basically just press the menu key before changing your volume and then press the menu key again.
Hey, I am unable to find where to enable the shoulder buttons on screen at all... can anyone direct me? I am playing FF Tactics and shoulder is used to rotate the map which is used frequently. I have FPSE v0.11
thanks

Hi,
i would like to map the volume buttons to chance the screen brightness. im using AEBplus but it doesnt work. there was here a thread about mapping these keys and svitching sth on to make it work but i cant find it :-/
Hi,
Is anyone able to write a simple service or app that will hook the volume keys so that i can double tap or tap and hold the volume keys to change the track back and forward on the stock music player.
It's a bit of a pain getting the phone out every time I want to skip a track, especially since I like to drop things but also since I prefer not to take my desire or hero out and be seen with them in my local area.
Ain't too safe.
I still can't believe HTC didn't add this feature by default, I don't want to use the headset remote.
Thanks.
Well you can always modify the file bravo-keypad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
from
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
to
key 115 MEDIA_NEXT WAKE
key 114 MEDIA_PREVIOUS WAKE
But then you have no volume keys.
HTC headset has track change controls?

That's exactly why I didn't do it and requested an app/service instead

I use my own set of earbuds, no way I'd ever take that stock crap out of the box.
You can open the track control unit and solder your own buds onto it :/

I know i _can_ but it's not the solution I'm after. My buds are expensive and I use them elsewhere too, as do I also plug several other things into the phone.
Essentially, I want hte controls on the phone, and independant of the phones or wiring.
Otherwise the first thing I would have done is modify the remote control. 2 minutes work for an electronic engineer. (most of which is waiting for the iron to heat up).
I'm surprised someone hasn't already written something like this, it seemed like an obvious addition to me.
i have htc touch pro, and i mapped nearly all hw keys to do something usefull.
hold send key = toggle screen brightness. hold end key = toggle vibrate. hold home key, get the task manager. when playing music, press dpad's down = next track, hold it = fast forward. same with dpad's up but reverse. dpad's middle key = play/pause. dpad's right/left, player's volume (dedicated volume keys controll system volume.)
seeing that evo has only volume and power hw keys, assigning different functions to them besides what they currently do is essential. you got my support here =)
i'm quite familiar with modding winmo phones, but havent played with android yet. tho once i get evo, trust me, ill do everything in my power to get those hw/sw key to function as desired =D

Yeh, this was a useful capability of WinMo. I miss that in Android, but not much else. The Desire like you said doesn't have many keys unfortunately, I'm even missing the Call and End keys I was used to on the HTC Hero, but that I can live with.
What I'd really like is the double press or press and hold for track change on volume keys just like Sony Ericsson's do.
Why moved?
Can someone please tell me why on earth this has been moved to the EVO 4G Apps and Themes Section?
The request is for an App for use on the HTC desire, which is where I posted it.
........................
My thoughts exactly.
any solution found yet, op?
Well still I want it for the Evo so if this gets moved again I am making a new one
i support this request as well... coming from BB i miss that functionality to skip tracks without having to look at or even pull out your phone

Hey I'd love to work on this but I'm not sure where to start so I'll request it. I'd like to see something like trackball wake for the Nexus but use the volume button on the EVO. Also the menu button unlock so we don't have to swipe. I know Metalhead now has the menu unlock on the market. It doesn't seem to work, but maybe he can tweek it too.
What trackball?
He said he would like to see something LIKE the trackball wake but using the volume keys because we dont have a trackball.

If anyone finds an app or something that will allow the EVO to wake from the 4 front buttons please let me know either on here or PM. Its the only feature keeping me from getting an EVO.
No I'm not as picky as it sounds lol, its a dexterity issue.
i would say you woul want it to be one of the touch buttons on front since you would always hit em by mistakednt
Double tap of the menu would work for me, I'd even prefer it but I assume that the driver and hardware for the screen and for the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen are the same. While we could always leave the screen on and watch for touch input all the time I think it would kill the battery.
But if someone knows of the soft buttons using a separate driver or hardware then we could consider it.
What I was suggesting was to go from off to using it press the volume down key and then menu vs. pressing power then swiping the screen unlock thing. Of course you could do the volume and then swipe too, but the menu button would be a added benefit.
Ok I picked up a new headset today (broke my OEM headset) and I really want to get the volume up/down and the answer/end keys to work for winamp.....I did a bit of snooping around with root explorer and found something very interesting..... (/system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl) and when I opened it with text editor I get this (key 248 send_end)....anyone wanna give me a good push in the right direction? I would love for this sony headset to work like it does in my wife's 4g... control volume up/down, and play,plause,fw,rw...ect.

I'm asuming this is the blutooth keymap.... anyone know how I could get these to to work in the sec_jack.kl.... or figure out how to find out wha keys are for my volume controls on my headset?

Yeah, you want to change it to headset_hook or something or other like that. I did the same (don't have the exact term in front of me) and can now get play/pause/fwd through the inline remote. You're out of luck for volume and the like, though.
Mind blowing that this isn't enabled by default, Samsung.
Yea... totally blows.... so change (keyXXX SEND_END) TO (key XXX headset_hook)

Yep, I think that's it.
Thanks in advance!
WidgetLocker has the ability
Just tried it, checked the box in settings, but no dice
Uninstalled and got a refund.
Any others?
no lock?
or
Screen Off and Lock?
Thanks, already tried both of them because they worked on my og evo, but no such luck
Coming from the galaxy s2 I do miss the power button on the side, hoping to find a solution still

Actually, I used to have a Nexus One and the power button was broken. To circumvent that, I had to use an app called AnyUnlock. I turned the screen on with the volume rocker and you could also use a widget to turn the screen off (rather than using the power button to turn the screen off). Which I suppose could be useful if you have smaller fingers or something and didn't want to make the reach. Very, very useful app when your power button stops functioning.

I'm sure it uses the same method that the other apps use and it even says in the description on their app page that it only works on Froyo and GB.
Yea seems like all of them don't work with ics urrrrrrrrr

Volume Rocker Wake works on CM9 Alpha 5
I've been using CM9 Alpha 5 for a few hours now and it's great !
The first think I set was the Volume Rocker Wake as the Power Button is not as easy to press when using most cases covering the power button.
To enable it, go to SETTING --> DISPLAY --> VOLUME ROCKER WAKE
it enables waking the phone by pressing the volume rocker EITHER up/down.
There is no way to specify one or the other
However, it works great ! I'm really liking CM9, my only complaint is the missing HTC Camera which was just amazing with the hardware burst (I'm still looking for a way to flash it if that's even possible).
