[MOD] Alternate wake buttons and dedicated camera button*Final* - Verizon Droid Charge

You can use use root explorer or any other similar program. (If using root explorer u have to toggle the r/w in the upper right to edit anything u need root access to do)
In your file browser navigate to system/usr/keylayout and select s3c-keylayout.kl file and open in a text editor or in file manager text editor.
Dedicated camera button for opening and usage.
Find the "key 217 SEARCH" line.Delete SEARCH and replace it with CAMERA in caps. (This will work fine with alternate wake)
This will open the camera and when clicked in the camera app take a pic or start/stop the video recording.
Alternate wake buttons.
After the BACK and SEARCH (or CAMERA if you changed it to that) entry type in capital letter with underscore "WAKE_DROPPED".Then save it and reboot. Now the "search" then "back" combo key will wake phone from sleep to the lockscreen every single time for a week or two that I have been trying it.
Enjoy.
Should look like the pic below if you've done both mods.

Wow! Nice finding. How did you figure this out??
EDIT: a little typo system/use/keylayout should be system/usr/keylayout NOT A PROBLEM.
I did it and it works nice.
Thank you for the tips.

Thanks! works well, though it did mess up a few of my widgets but I just had to trash them and add them again to correct the issue so no biggie.

Be careful during your edit. If something goes wrong, your buttons may end up disabled and you won't be able to edit the file again to fix your mistakes.
I had to use ADB to fix and restore my file.
Cool post though... been looking for this for a long time.

Just be careful where you keep your phone when travel. The button may accidentally press while in your pocket, may run down your battery. Just a precaution, but very nice tweak.

If you're using root explore, when you got to the folder, on the top tab R/W button. This grant read/write access, the press and hold down the file with your finger then choose Open text editor, once done you should able to save it. Your phone must be rooted in order to do this.

the camera mod works fine, but the back button waking to lockscreen would only work sometimes so I just changed the file back to the way it was.

just wondering, is it possible to reassign the 2 screen shot buttons. Currently they are Home and Back. Thanks.

Basically, toggles in your shade instead of the carrier name.

Awesome man, that's perfect. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the carrier label altogether . Any ideas? BTW, how'd you change your font?
I use the liberty 1.5 rom, it has a bunch of options for fonts and lets you change the carrier name out to whatever you want. So far its been very stable for me and much quicker than stock.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah, I saw the font options, but I'm not sure what adding a font does.. for instance, what'd you do in the toolbox that sets the widget font?
And I'm not talking about changing the text, I'd like to find a way to remove that whole bar, 'cause it just takes up space. I think you can do it in stock.. it's called a "roaming banner" i think
Changing the font effects all the text, everything from Widgets to menus to even the text on most websites in the default browser. It even changed the font in my clock widget. As far as removing the carrier label on the notifications I'm not sure how to remove that waste of space. I never looked into it but now since you mentioned it it's bugging me too. Let me know if you do find a way to remove it.

You long press on the home screen and select add widget like you would when adding a widget to the home screen, select widgetsoid then select a switcher widget. Pick the options you want it to have then go to the advanced tab and select both notification and make invisable. Click apply and it should now show up in the notifications bar. If you want to edit it just open widgetsroid and it will be in the widget tab. Hope this helps.

You can remove it with a metamorph, if you edit the xml in /layout/status_bar_expanded.xml I'm trying to put one together to do this. Right now I've managed to remove the grey area, only thing missing is moving the "clear" button some place else.

Have you been able to figure out a way to move or resize the clear button yet? I really wish I could move it to the bottom of the notification bar. Better yet, I wish there was an app/widget that automatically cleared all new notifications. Been looking for something like that for months without any luck...

How to change LCD density

**This post is mostly for Noobs** Thought I would post as it is very useful to know.
Here is how to change the lcd density on the charge manually.
**YOU MUST BE ROOTED**
1. Using root explorer go to
System>build.Prop
2. Make sure read/write capabilities are set and long press on build.Prop
3. Choose edit in text editor and the file will open
4. Go halfway down until you see lcd density =240
5. Change the density to a lower number such as 200. This will allow for a much higher resolution.
6. Save and exit
7. Reboot
***warning! If you set the density too low your phone won't run the rom correctly. Not advised under 160
Beautiful. My screen feels huge now, I went with 190 and it seems to be good, nice and small for my good eyesight. I just needed to resize my keyboard height and I was good to go.

You have to be using Root Explorer from the market, then at the top there are buttons that say mount r/w or mount r/o, just press mount r/w and then you can edit the text.
You can use Es file explorer, it has root capabilities and is free.

via the market, send the dev for that keyboard a message saying that you would like to have that keyboard accept any lcd density and they should do it. I have done this for every app of mine and they have changed it. 95% of the apps should already have this built in. Some devs only put 200-240

[GUIDE] How to easily re-map your search key to function as a multitasking key

For a lot of people, the search key is pretty useless. Why not re-map it and turn it into a multitasking button similar to what the galaxy nexus has? All you have to do is edit a couple files in your /system.
EDIT: You can actually just flash a zip, thanks twitchyeye for letting me know about it
Flash this modified zip in cwm or twrp that twitchyeye made to remap: http://www.mediafire.com/?jk3gbeuy8312bn8
What you will need:
-A SGS4G currently on an ICS rom
-ES File explorer (free from the market)
Download ES file explorer if you haven't already
Open the app, go to menu -> settings then turn on Root Explorer, Up to Root, and Mount File System
Go back
Touch the "up" button (you should be in the "/" directory)
Scroll down to the "system" folder
Scroll down to the "usr" folder
Go to the "keylayout" folder
Long-press cypress-touchkey.kl and press edit
Change SEARCH to APP_SWITCH (you must type it exactly like that)
It should look like this:
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do the same thing to melfas_touchkey.kl
Reboot the phone
The serach key should now function as the multitasking button. If not, you might have to edit the few more .kl files in /system/usr/keylayout
Es file explorer automatically makes backups of system apps that you edit (make sure you have the option checked under root settings)If you ever want to go back to your old setup, you simply delete the .kl files you edited and rename the copys to remove the .bak at the end of the file name. Or can simply replace the APP_SWITCH with SEARCH again.
Note to Miui users:since miui uses a different recent apps menu, the search key will only bring up a gingerbread-style recent apps
This is even easier.

Ive never tried a multi-task remap. I just had to use that for a while on a old phone. They make two models of the phone only difference was home and back were swapped.
It is a very dated app so maybe you could improve it by recoding to allow multi-task mapping? I just figured its less likely of messing something up with it then modifying the key_map file.
So is there a different name for the newer style recents window?
Is the app switcher what pops up by long pressing the home button?

Make the change in the OP in the build.prop files using a text editor on the device.
This worked fine and I was able to turn off the lights on the capacitive keys. Is there a way to disable the capacitive keys?
does anyone know how to make the left hard key menu and long press for open apps? (Swap its default setup)
Nvm figured it out.
If you're rooted:
Go to system > usr > keylayout, and open generic.kl with a text editor, find keys 158 and 254 and put a "#" sign in front of both. Save the file and reboot phone. Then go to settings and disable the light.

Just an FYI that the build prop edit "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" works to enable the soft keys for anyone interested.

Hey I have been looking around/edited some files in /system/use/keylayout but have not had any luck so far.
I am trying to switch the function of the soft keys. I want a single press to be the "menu" key like it always was and make the long press be the apo switcher. I found App_switch and Menu assigned to button numbers and switched them but all it did was disbale to button. If you have any ideas please respond in here or PM me. I plan to make a guise with pictures etc once I figure it out. Thanks

Yeah, I've never really altered the softkeys through build prop edits. I know there are some Xposed modules to alter the softkeys. Might want to check that out.
Put a # in front of keys 158 and 254 once you enable soft keys, This compltely disables the back button and recent buttons at the bottom of the phone. I also disabled the lights for them in settings too.
To enable soft keys you have to type in that line the OP listed at the bottom of the text file.
(You can actually type it anywhere as long as it's on a new line and doesn't have a # in front of it)
Here's my new screen.

Looks great! How did you change the colors and add the transparency?

You can change your soft keys with the Xposed mod "Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons"

Yeah I was using that on my M8. I just haven't installed Xposed yet. I'm kind of waiting for SafeStrap so I can make a nice Nandroid without too much crap haha.
Edit: Oh yeah I changed my DPI to 460 and it helped with the overlap in the camera app and others.

Check Android Development section. There's a thread for it.

I just did 470, 460 looked good for the buttons but the black edges are a bit much. Thanks though.
How can I fix this? I'm running MOAR.
