[Q] Keymap on Android Devices, Hello from Noob, CM7 Comments - General Questions and Answers

Hello everybody.
I am quite new to the Android Development Scene but have some xperience in linux, c-programming microcontrollers (Atmel mega) and electronics.
A few weeks ago i changed my iphone 3gs to a Samsung Galaxy Note - best thing i did in a long time . I've been reading since, about custom ROMs, recovery, rooting and so on. It is a quite interesting topic.
I wouldn't mess um my Note, so i bought a Galaxy mini to play with. I got familiar with Kies and Odin, installed CWM Recovery and finally CyanogenMod 7. I am really happy because after the update today (0.5d) WLAN and Screen Orientation works as expected. I would've posted this in the DEV Section but i can't because of my NOOB Status (<10 Posts).
I have a small problem anyhow.
I've bought a very small keyboard (elive KB-250) Amazon Link)
which works fine except for the Layout.
So i've been reading some more and made a Layout which fits. I changed qwerty.kl and renamed it to Micro_Keyboard.kl and i made a new Micro_Keyboard.kcm. Now i am at the end of my knowledge because i can't find a possibility to convert the .kcm to kcm.bin. On the Android Developer Site the program "makekcharmap " is mentioned but i also can't find this.
Also i am not sure how to name the files correctly.
getevent says:
add device 6: /dev/input/event5
name: "Micro Keyboard"
so should i name it "Micro Keyboard" with a space?
Can anybody help me convert .kcm to kcm.bin?
And finally is there a database where i can post my Keymap file? I think this would be most helpful for other Layouts as well.
ny Help would be appreciated.
And BTW where is the fricking Thank you Button?

Problem with ATPlugininstaller....

I have an interesting problem with ATPlugininstaller.
I installed chome editor v1.6 on my wm6.5 device.
At first it was working fine, and I created 2 plugins using it.
THEN, I decided to add the "day of the week" to the clock panel, by placing code directly in the titanium.cpr files.
Well, the weekday was added successfully, BUT now, I CAN'T use chome editor to create new panels, and I CAN'T install any plugin that uses the ATinstaller.
Whenever I try to do either, I get:
"An unexpected error occurred in ATplugininstaller
ATplugininstaller.exe unauthorized access exception
At System.IO._Error.WinIO error()
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlDOMTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.Xmldocument.save
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.AddLayout to cpr()
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.Main ()
As I said
, I get this same message when I try to create a new panel or add any cabs that require the plugin.
However, the panels I already created and the plugins I already installed still work fine.
My question is, why? My manually adding the code into the cpr files to show "day of the week" on the cclock panel is no different than the entries the installer makes when I install a plugin, or create one using Chome editor.
I know, I've looked thru the cpr file content. So, why does the installer crash AFTER I add the code for "day of the week" to the cpr files?
Can someone please help? Thanks.
Moved, nothing to do with development.
Ok then where do I put it? The ATplugininstaller thread IS in this developmen section, so I beg to differ with you.
I put it out here after getting no response to my inquiry in that thread.
This is one responsive board, out of 10 or so inquiries I've posted, I've only received 2 responses, all from from the author of one sw.
This is a real HELPFUL board,, I've got to say.
And, my inquiry, to remind you, HAS to do with development because I'm creating panels in Titanium using xml.
If the particular sw in question is in this section, then my inquiry as to why it crashes deserves to be here.
I guess it doesn't matter, the members on this board are of no help whatsoever. It's a waste of time to even post.
If I sound frustrated, it's because I am. I have no desire to get flamed, but I need help, and no one even answers.
No need to get frustrated .
Your thread does not belong to the development and hacking forum, that foum is please read the rules of D&H here.
Someone can only help you if they know the solution to your problem, no need to blame the users or the forum itself. Posting in the wrong section will not be helpful to you and will add to our work.
And if you really think posting here is a waste of time, why bother posting ?.
I have moved your thread to Q&A forum, which is regularly visited by developers and people with great knowledge in this field, patience is the key; not blaming the users of the board or being sarcastic.
As far as development goes, you are welcome to post your work ( pannels for titanium ) when they are ready, but not questions.
Hope you calm down, and not repeat such bursts of frustration. You could consider this a warnning.
Please read this carefully:

I do understand your need for help, but calm down and have patience, try searching or contacting XML writers/developers.
Hope you co-operate.
Understood. I had to do some venting because of all the nonresponses. Can you at least tell me where you moved my post, or did you just delete it? Thank you.
Thank you for your co-operation.
It has been moved to question and answers senction under the general section.
Many people come by here, surely someone will answer; if they have a solution.
madnish30.
just try it with TICS instead of ATPluginInstaller
(link in my signature)
there you don't need a hardcoded .plg and you have the possibility for pre-/postinstall scripts.
Also more definite error message, if you get in trouble.

[Q] SAX and Android

Sorry about posting in here, I wanted to post in there Android Developers but it says to post in here cuz I'm new.
Anyways I've found this question asked a while ago, in a couple of different places but it hasn't been answered so I'll try asking it for myself.
I am working on a Android App that needs to read a XML file, I'm using the SAX Parse. I found an example on line that I've messed with and it appears to work if I make Java Application out of it. Though the same code does not work when if its placed with in a Android App. Is there some difference between the SAX implemtations between Striaght Java and Android's VM? Code is aviable if you have any questions.
Thank You!!
I've had a bit of a Google round and I can't see any reason why SAX wouldn't work with Java ME. In fact, I've found examples that use it specifically for Android...
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/x-android
Although this site is obviously full of very talented developers, if you have specific coding issues then I strongly recommend you go to stack overflow. It's a VERY busy site, with some very good (and some not so good) developers all clambering over each other to answer questions. The site is specifically for answering code problems though, so you may get flamed by asking the above question without showing some code. Along with xda it's my most visited site and I couldn't recommend it enough.
To get you started on there, here's an Android/SAX question that may help you with your problem...

[Q] Help Me with the Keyboards w/ Arrows

Recently, I flashed a new ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926640
The author said that this ROM featured the qwerty keyboard with arrows.
However, it's only feasible in typing English. Plus, there are still lots of problems, but I'm not gonna type them out in detailed.
My questions is, I wanna flash the attachment of the HTC keyboards with arrows.
But I don't know whether it fits in ICS. Can somebody help me with this?
PS: It's my first post in XDA; however, I've been one of the members for quite a long time, but still have no authority to reply the threads in Development.
That's why I resort to here.
do you mean the space it consumes in the screen?(1 row under the keyboard)
or its theme/color? (i think its black/white)

[Completed] Please delete thread/post

I have scoured the interwebs for a solution, yet found only obsolete and empirically ineffectual methods, aka "setprop net.dsn1" etc., none of which persist, neither immediately after the issued command nor, especially, after a reboot.
Please allow me to make it clear, that I find it perverse and loathsome that an "app" would be necessary to accomplish this feat. The indolent '"app" mentality', which is the sadly presumed remedy for nearly every action other than involuntary motion, is a contract with the assassin of freedom – and I abhor it venomously.
I have owned an Android (presently with CM11 ROM installed, with TWRP recovery) device for two weeks. It is the first Android device (or smart, tablet, etc.) I've ever owned or dared t fuss with. I particularly purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 because it was supported by CM. I am normally a Linux user and value my liberties of hack-ability. Oddly, I was able to successfully configure my DNS via a terminal emulator within my Android device, but recent updates seem to have thwarted my efforts. Apparently, resolv.conf no longer exists and some fundamental changes have been implemented, though this is all new to me and I ain't sure.
I believe that a user should be able to configure their own DNS (amongst other things) and therefore request assistance from the wizards of xda. Google is simply unacceptable, and Verizon hijacking plain makes me mad.
Show me the way, to 208.67.222.222!
Hi there,
I'm sorry but I can't find anything related to your question/device.
Please post that in the forum bellow for more answers from the experts:
