What file contains the softkey mappings, and can it be changed without root?
System_usr_keylayout_generic.kl
And
No.

Thanks.
And,
crap.
So...just checking; I'm looking to swap the "recent apps" and "back" buttons, which are off-display keys, of course. Don't suppose that's in some other file that I can change without root...somehow?
And if I really can't change them, how are after-market keyboards possible?
Keyboards are software.
You're looking to map hardware.
You need root to do that.
There are very easy Play Store apps that (once you're rooted) make it easy (I.e ButtonRemapper)

But of course I can't do that now, given that I can't even RUU back to 1.85.
Man, I know I have short thumbs and all, but does no one else have trouble using the phone right-hand only?
Dude please: I despise the power button. It doesn't click right. I came from a S3 but left it because I hated the home button. Now I found this phone that I completely love,but I hate that button. What we need is a dev to get Sweep2Wake running like on the Tegra model

Yeah the power button could be more clicky. It is hard to press. What i did was flash cm9/10 and use volume wake. WAY better.

I am using Clean Rom 4.0 and I have search that forum many time looking for an answer.
Since the One X did away with the menu button, how do you access the menu in that that Rom.
For example, I have no way of closing my audible app now because is doesnt have a soft menu key in that app.
I used the muiu rom and it had the menu key to the right of the multitasking key. But alas, this rom does not do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and happy 4th!
the multitask button becomes menu and holding down home gets you the multitask function The way GOD intended
You apparently didn't search at all, your answer is on the first page
Thank you sir! Works like a dream!

@bloodrain954 I just double check the first page and all posts below, maybe I missed it but where did you see it on there? Not being smart, but I'd just really like to know where I missed it.

Scrossler mentions 3 button key remap in the OP but you'd have to know what that meant.

Ah gotcha, Yeah I didn't know what that meant as this is my first 3 button phone. Thanks again
Also, in case you don't know, long pressing the Home button acts as the Multitasking button.

Well you do now.
Just asking because I see screen shot in most of the power options in the ROMs for the HOX and I don't understand why. XD

No but seriously, it's built into stock as power volume down, you have to hold them.

What rom are you on? It's doesn't work for everyone I have only seen it work on cleanrom.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Pretty sure default has always been power+home. Power down doesn't do jack for me....well, it turns off my screen after my phone goes to vibrate.
Learn something new every day...
[POWER] + [HOME] on stock 1.85.
Power + down is the stock ICS way of doing it and it works...sorta. You have to get the timing right or else it'll just turn off your screen, bring your power menu up, or mess with your volume.
Power + Home is just so much easier though...

It worked for me on stock and still does on CleanROM 4.0
Hit them at the same time and hold them. Home is dumb for me I don't like the path it saves to.

Once you get it you won't mess up anymore. It's very easy.

Yup, power+home has been how HTC has done it for some time now, since before ICS.

Well geeze guys! Just sharing my discovery! XD
Also, I wish it'd get taken out of the power menu. Don't need 3 ways to take a screen shot.

Well I'll be damned. I don't think I could do the ics way while drinking though. simul button push while under the influence of scotch could prove troubling.

And nobody says there is anything wrong with that!
I was just pointing out the fact that HTC has included this feature since before Google decided to incorporate it in ICS.
Also, its interesting that HTC decided to include both their own method, and the Google way. HTC typically seems to prefer their own way of doing things, and removing the more "AOSP-ish" components.
where is it saved to then?

Power+vol down ==> DCIM
Power+Home ==> Pictures>Screenshots

Holding power and volume down at the same time is native to ICS and will save the screenshot to
/mnt/sdcard/pictures/screenshots
if I'm not mistaken. The One X can also take screenshots via home and power button. This will save the screenshot into a new folder DCIM or just drop them into /camera. I cant remember.

Power home puts it in camera shots.

I hate the volume down+home, lol. When I hold the phone in my left hand and go to press home with my thumb it sometimes takes a screenshot.
On a random note, I feel like the HOX and a lot of other phones are easy to use one handed. I have slightly larger than average hands, but people should just put their pinky right under the home key on the edge if they need to. ANYWAY

Thats how I hold it too! And I agree it's easy to use with one hand, save texting.

You have to hit power button and vol down at the same time and hold, it worked for me, I just wasn't waiting log enough before.

Try out one of those fancy "cover the proximity sensor for x amount of seconds to unlock screen" apps on the play store. Try out a app called "light lock"

Thanks guys for the replies, maybe i'll just stick with it
I saw a kernel i the dev section that allowed you to swipe across the back/home/app buttons to wake the device.
I dont remember which kernel it was though.
The buttons all light up but don't work at all. I have the phone all disassembled but dont know which connector it is? Can someone please help me so I can see if its connected right.
OR How about mapping the BACK function to the camera button? I can deal with that lol i'm running cyanogen mod 9
Maybe like, have it be half press on camera is home, hard press is back? And hold is menu?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
If you have it torn apart the cable connecting those buttons should be obvious
But if you don't want to replace it and are willing to remap then there are apps in the play store that can add soft buttons to homescreens

Yup I figured it out and almost did it exactly like that before reading this lol.. used the volume down button as back though since its easier to reach. Thanks
Hey guys. I'm coming from the HD2 where the power button (hardkey) if used for a long time would cause the digitizer to stop working due to some crazy reason I don't remember.
I would just like to know of the one on this phone can be weakened by being constantly used without worry of breaking down?

I haven't read anything about people's power buttons having stopped working myself however if you're concerned, you concerned, use swipe to wake for unlocking
