Is there any software out there right now that can remap the hardware keys easily so that when a key is pressed the applications on the device think it's another key? (for example, holding the Volume Down key makes applications think you're holding down the * key on a phone keypad).
Therefore I can use it to map *, 8, 6, 9, 1 and 0 keys onto a phone without a keypad and play games that require more than the 4 direcitonal keys and center key.
So annoying knowing that you have hardware keys that aren't being used by the game but you don't have the keys the game needs... (yes, no, volume up, volume down, gps and browser key... enough to play the game... though not the keys that game wants)
SortInchKey... it's kinda hard to setup, but it will do what you need....good luck
Can you share how you can set it up? I am looking for this but totally confused by the screen.
Take a look at this one....should serve your purpose.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well the best way in my experience is to use resco registry editor, for example i change my left soft key to "new sms" so when i click it it pops open a new sms message window, look into that if you'd like
Also make sure you check out my dedicated bible in the Wiki.

Hi, I wonder if I have to put those virtual keys (home , back , menu) on my phone with ICS Cyanogen mod 7
thanks
No, if you have a phone with the standard android buttons, the on-screen buttons will not show up.
is this possible with android? in windows one way to do this is an application that intercepts signals from the keyboard and sends out what the user remapped the key to. i have no idea if the mapping for the keyboard is done in the firmware or something. i know physical buttons being remappable in custom roms, would this be the same case?
what i would like is to remap the search key into the multitasking button (recent apps)
Hi there,
I am using a blutetooth keyboard on my note and I have the following problem:
In external keyboard helper pro is currently no way to assign recent apps to a key. If I ALT+TAB it brings up the recent apps menu, but only as long as I hold the ALT key. I can't navigate through that menu by either hitting the tab key or the arrow keys. If I click on the recent apps button on the touchscreen I can select the apps with the arrow keys. I am currently on HyperDrive Rom (samsung based) and I was on cm10.1 before, where ALT+TAB brought up a whole new screen (not the recent apps screen) which worked like on windows.
Any help?
