[Q] Joypad with no D-pad working - General Questions and Answers

I've been using Xwave joypad on my Xperia Mini (4.1.2), and everything works except D-pad buttons
Emulator seems to recognize every other button as button #, but it doesn't recognize D-pad buttons.
Is it because of how Android interprets the button codes (every other button would be called button 1, button 2, etc. but D-pad would probably be "D-pad left" and "D-pad right"), and is it something that could be fixed? Is there an app that changes external input mappings?

Any software to remap hardware keys?

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.

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.
AE Button Plus
which device do u have? i have hp 614c and i use the app "CZ612Key1.01" for that very same purpose.

Remapping Touch Pro Keys

Does anyone else have problems mapping the center D pad button of the touch pro using AEB Plus? I can map it ok for the double, triple and long press, but when I map it to anything, the single press (mapped to press "enter" or call default handler) doesn't work anymore... It seems to disable the main function of the center button (enter). It's a pretty important function to press enter so currently I can't map any other functions to the button, because the main one then becomes disabled... What am I doing wrong here? Reading some other posts on this tread, it seems like others were able to map this button successfully and still use the "enter" function. A specific sequence maybe? I've tried this with a couple different ROMS including the stock SPRINT ROM and I get the same results. Can anyone help? I should point out that I have a fully registered version, and I've been able to map the green and red buttons successfully.
I have it as following:
Handle by AEBPlus
Single press: Press Enter(third option)
Double press: Select all
Long press: Display off
That are all builtin features of AEBPlus,so no exe commands or applications.
And it works good.
that's what I mapped the single press to... I mapped double press to ok/close, triple press to close active application, and long press to psshutxp... when i do this, every press works except the single press! furthermore, it also disables the enter key on the slide out keyboard... I have the lastest build (2.6.5). Can anyone help? This is driving me crazy!!! I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling. For some reason when I reinstall, it seems to remember my previous settings...and course, it behaves the same way...

[Q] Simultaneous keypress

Hi. Got Sidekick 4G a week ago and really like this phone so far, but there is one problem: system detects only 2 simultaneously pressed keys on qwerty-keyboard. Problem appears in 16-bit console games emulators, where I have to press 3 buttons at a time. Is that impossible on this device? It only detects 2 buttons and ignores 3rd press. I'm wondering, is this a hardware issue, or possibly could be fixed by firmware? I'm using GenericGinger 4.1
Thanks.

You're dealing with a hardware issue there.
The only other keys the device can register with two keys depressed are the hardware buttons that line the outside of the device (home, menu, jump, camera, and volume).
You can use this to your advantage.
One solution would be to map the back key to something else and map the back key where the jump key currently is.
That way, you will be able to press the trackpad and the (former) back key with your right thumb.
It's a huge tradeoff and I wouldn't do it, but it will provide a natural feeling game controller.
You could take it a step further and also remap the menu button as well..
Unfortunately, these new touchscreen phones do not have the d-pad the Danger Hiptop did. It sure makes designing software a pain in the ***.
It doesn't seems to be working either: when I'm holding two keys on qwerty keyboard and press Back key, nothing's nappening. So no matter what keys, only two keyspresses can be detected at a time. But thanks for reply anyway.

Touch Input Mapper

Is there an app that lets you map touch input to hardware buttons like volume keys or etc. Like six axis does but with the hardware buttons
This is important
I would love this to map shoot to a volume key for shooters... Why is it not an option like n64 emulator for most apps!

Is there an app that would remap keyboard buttons?

hi, I have a satechi media button ( http://www.satechi.net/index.php/satechi-bluetooth-button-series-media-button ) which is a fine thing to have but there are two problems.
1. is there an app that could remap its buttons to let say if I press play button 2-3 times rapidly it would then wake up the phone. and so on?
2. when it connect to media button it sees it as a physical keyboard thus you cannot type in at all with the screen keyboard. only when you turn off bluetooth you can type again. that is very inconvenient. any ways to go around that? thanks.
anybody?
