[Q] Function keys, del, etc. - Asus Transformer TF700

With CM, does the Fn key work? I was trying to hit F2 to open the bios on a remote machine and it wasn't working (RDP to Raritan). I also need a delete key. I guess I should look into remapping keys, unless there is a convenient way to use these keys that I'm missing.

Nope, I do not believe the F keys work at all -- at least I've been unable to use them so far -- save remapping, like you mentioned already.

In the most recent nightly builds, these keys finally *do* work! Months ago I missed my delete key so much I ended up digging into the mechanism that provides keymappings for CM10 and was able to make the 'lock' key on the keyboard emit a FORWARD_DEL keycode instead of uselessly locking my tablet everytime I hit it.
It's a little technical but let me give you a brief overview of how keycodes work on the TF700s. Under /system/usr you will find two directories: keylayout and keychars. We will be interested are the 'asusdec' keylayouts and keychars files.
First, the keychars directory houses that describe each key for all of the different supported keyboard types. For the most part, there is really no need to play around with any of the files in here but looking the asusdec.kcm will give you a nice reference for what each key does and also describes what each key should do if modifiers like 'shift' or 'alt' are pressed. Again, I wouldn't play around with these too much as it might but perhaps you'll have better luck with that than I did
Next, keylayout, this is where all the mapping between hardware keycode (that is the decimal output by depressing a key such as 'r', which yields 19) to the aforementioned keychars entry. Again, asusdec.kl is pretty much the only place you might need to play around with but be careful doing so as these files have a tendency to change in the nightly builds.
To give you a real world example of what all this means, in order to accomplish my modification of making the 'POWER' key into a 'FORWARD_DEL' key, I found the matching keycode for 'POWER' (this is 142) and replaced the reference to POWER with FORWARD_DEL, rebooted, and done! Since I build the CM10.1 source daily, I put this into a local repo branch and now it gets applied to every build I make. Nevertheless, here is a diff of the 'offical' asusdec.kl vs mine:
Code:
diff --git a/prebuilt/asusdec.kl b/prebuilt/asusdec.kl
index 228c95d..d610ac5 100644
--- a/prebuilt/asusdec.kl

+key 142 FORWARD_DEL WAKE_DROPPED
key 41 GRAVE WAKE_DROPPED
key 2 1 WAKE_DROPPED
key 3 2 WAKE_DROPPED
To take a look at these files from the official github repository, check em out @ https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_asus_tf700t/tree/cm-10.1/prebuilt.
Lastly, a word of caution, these files are pretty crucial to your keyboard, well, working. Take care in keeping backups and any new flashed ROM will replace these. Worst comes to worst, have a version of CM you're ready to reflash and it should blow away any mistakes if you find your keyboard acting up. For the brave, I will attach my personal asusdec.kl which you can simply (after backing up yours) place in /system/usr/keylayout if AND ONLY IF you are on the CM10.1 nightly. Otherwise, just try the recent nightly and see if it solves your problems.
As for the F## keys, check out the top of the asusdec.kl file and you'll see the wifi key falls through to F1, the bluetooth key to F2, etc etc.. That being said, if you hit F1 it will ultimately emit the keycode for F1 but *will* also still toggle your wifi .. quite annoying. You don't even need to use the FN modifier though I am working out a way to allow FN-Wifi to pass F1, FN-Bluetooth to pass F2, etc..
Hope that helps to clear some things up, please feel free to ask more as I'm happy to discuss Best of luck.

I too did the FORWARD_DEL hack -- putting the tablet to sleep 15 times within one single e-mail body annoyed me to Hell and back.

One other thing I totally forgot is to ask what RDP client do you use? I've been using Jump with great success but that only really works if you're able to RDP directly to the Windows box. If not, you would have to setup an SSH tunnel or something of the like :\ If you haven't checked out Jump yet, take a look at it since it has a popup menu option for all the common 'full keyboard' keys.

I hear that.. I did the same with the Wifi toggle key too but that was a bit more of a hack since it's handled in asusdec. Boy is that button meaningless Glad to hear I'm not the only one to find a 'screen off' button more than pointless.

This may be a little off topic but does anyone know of a key sequence to wake up the table from the keyboard dock?

Depending on which version of CM you're running, it's simply a matter of editing the asusdec.kl file I described above. Adding 'WAKE' or 'WAKE_DROPPED' after the line in the keylayout specification should do the trick. That being said, if I recall correctly, the code for waking up on keypress wasn't working correctly until pretty recently in the CM nightly builds. As of current, it seems to work great and is even controlled directly from the 'Advanced' option in the Android Settings, under the heading for 'Dock'. If you're really interested in this functionality, I would recommend trying the most recent build and see if it does the trick for you since editing the keylayout files by hand can be somewhat tricky and I'm not 100% sure it will work otherwise.
Here is a screenshot of the Advanced settings dialog with the Dock option:

Hope that helps and if you decide to either way, let me know how it goes though.

Ah, well that might even make it easier. If I recall correctly, there was an option in stock under the 'Asus Settings' that I think is called 'Mobile Dock Battery Saving Mode' or something equally as vague that might do the trick for you

You *could* enable waking from the keyboard dock in the ASUS-specific settings. I am pretty sure, though, that both options might drain the battery rather strongly.

[REQ] Use Touch Pad for Direction (4-way, 8-way, 360 degrees)

I'd like to see Up, Down, Left, and Right be mapped to the center Touch wheel without pressing.
VERY similar to what we have now... except without requiring a circular motion. Would it be hard to write a program that creates "hotspots" on the bottom touch pad that will allow touching? This would be awesome. Perhaps have a Control panel settings app that allows 4-way control, 8-way control, or full 360 degree control (would be AWESOME for 3D gaming!).
This would completely redefine how the Diamond/Touch Pro handle gaming.
New SensorScroll now SUPPORTS THIS.

The d-pad sucks major... Hate the scroll wheel I shut it off whenever possible. I always miss what i want to select. It is very inaccurate.
Your Idea is great.
No doubt this will become possible someday. I'd imagine it to be like a holographic rollerball.
Good Idea. but I think that would interfere with the pressing D pad function. But then again, there is a program (butler) which allows swiping to launch programs, so maybe it wouldnt interfere.
It is VERY similar to the butler program, which detects finger gesters. Butler tries to work AROUND the functions of the current setup.
I know the Touch Wheel does screw you up, especially in the Contacts menu. Lately, I've been disabling it. It is a really neat feature but is VERY sensitive. It also drives me crazy in Messages always changing the font size (it would be much better to scroll up and down through the previous chat history).
ANYWAY...
There are lots of programs out there that do this already except the hotspots are over the actual buttons instead of around the dpad. If they could start by simply creating 4 hotspots around the dpad for navigational movement it would be a start.
This would COMPLETELY solve the crappy dpad on the Diamond/Raphael phones since you would be simply making contact with the touch pad to move vs being required to depress the button. Then we could leave the Back/Home/Call/End buttons to function as they are.
And I was thinking of a good example for the 360 degree motion option... imagine Bubble Pop.
OR a game like Worms or Pocket Tanks
why?
bump, this is an awesome idea
Both the 4-way dpad and the scroll wheel changing the font sizes in Messaging are driving me insane. The dpad especially is seriously making me consider sending the phone back as I use it extensively and avoid using the touchscreen. It's a shame as the phone would be great otherwise.
I think the phone could be made much more usable if the following were possible but from what I've read, I'm not sure it is. It seems that it's impossible to reprogram single clicks on the home/back keys without them also sending the home/back command as well. Perhaps one of the cooked ROMs will allow it:
* Set the home key to send a left command
* Set the back key to send a right command
* Set a long press on the home key to launch an app
* Set a long press on the back key to send an ok command, or launch an app
* Set a long press on the send and hang up keys to launch apps

You can remap both Call/End keys for both long and short presses already using some ROMS, such as Da_G's. The Home/Back buttons are more difficult.
The Home/Back buttons CAN be remapped but only with the aid of a program such as AEButton Plus. Supposedly the phone acts goofy when these buttons are messed with through.
Which is why I think my idea is great. Leave the buttons assigned the way they are defaulted to... just set the touch pad controls for navigation (up, down, left, right).
Maybe they could delete the existing Touch Wheel setup (which works like an iPod and sucks) for this control scheme (in certain apps). Having a functional Up/Down/Left/Right would be a lot better then a scrolling wheel pad.
The program should have an exemption list, for program such as Opera and Google Maps where the Touch Scroll wheel is used for zooming and works fantastic.
gscroll kinda works like that its not free though. but i like your idea better so if someone wants to make it and not charge :]

Is this something that can be done with the current Fuze or is this a suggestion to HTC? I'm in the market for a new AT&T phone and I'm debating between buying the Fuze and waiting a couple of months to see if AT&T comes up with anything better with the new crop of phones set to be release in the next two months (see pdadb.net). Having a good functioning D pad is something I want and is one of the reasons I'm hesitating on the Fuze. Anyone in the same boat?
The Fuze's Dpad isn't horrible. Up/Down functions have their own individual buttons so they work very well. The Left/Right functions share a sensor with the Home/Back/Call/End buttons. There is 1 button per side. The bottom portion of the phone IS A TOUCH SCREEN with 4 buttons behind it.
What happens is when you push a button on either side, the touchpad detects where your finger is located and launches the appropriate action. So there are 3 actions per button. Finding the Left/Right sweet spot take a minute to get used to, but are completely functional when you do.
The only problem occurs when gaming when your frantically thumbing all over the place.
By default, all actions require a PUSH of one of the 4 buttons (1-Up, 2-Down, 3-LeftSide, 4-RightSide).
What I propose is to remove the directional controls from the buttons and make them work simply off touch. Then you can slide your dirty little thumb all across that touchpad and get only what you want (navigation).
This also free's up some buttons. No longer would we be using the Top and Bottom buttons... which perhaps we could then be mapped to shortcuts or action keys. Pushing the Right and Left buttons could still be used for their default uses.
Gscroll "kinda" does this... except (to my knowledge) it uses swiping gestures. ALTHOUGH it would work properly if he moved his hotspots around to provide a more "dpad" configuration and configured the hotspots to act accordingly for navigational output.
All true! You guys should try DredSensor.
I've played with DredSensor, which works well at disabling Home/Back keys for specific programs... but using the Right/Left buttons are still a hassle.
I'd definitely use a program like this ...
http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/htc-touch-pro/
check it out, half way down the pictures of the buttons
being able to see the layout of how they are actually pressed has now helped me alot at being able to hit them accuratly.
it also seems that iwth just a small adjustment they could be made much better.
however it kinda sucks how you have to take the entire phone appart to get to them... :/
Well, if there is a software solution to helping portrait gaming to work better with the D pad and software keys, I may just take the plunge to get a Fuze. I would really like to upgrade my old 8125.
atleats the Raphael/diamond has a d-pad.. well there might be a possibility as the space on and around the d-pad is touchsensitive. the possibilities for multitouch is also possible, check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3Owgcos_KY
As it's software controlled, I wonder if it would be possible to decrease the area for the call/hangup/home and back keys and so thereby increasing the sweetspot for hitting left and right?

Assign other buttons to unlock screen

For those who don`t want to brick power button may be an answer beside using apps like tap tap or similar in using sensor and consuming battery life.
It is possible to do this with desire s? (for volume up/down or home key maybe)

Has anyone already found a way to display the lockscreen using another button then the power on/off button? I can't get used to the new unlocking method. On my Hero, I just had to press a button to see the lockscreen and I even could press a button twice to unlock it.
I guess it should be possible with rooted phones? But I don't know how ofc...
Solution:
You need to edit the file bravo-keypad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout
Open the file in a text editor, you'll see something like this:
Code:
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
You'll have to put the string 'WAKE_DROPPED' behind the button you wish to use to unlock. It has been set on POWER and ENDCALL by default.
You need to pull the file first via recovery, edit it, then push it back to your phone. You can only do this via the recovery, not via programs like Root Explorer!
Go into recovery, then type in the following commands:
Windows:
adb-nilezon shell mount /system
adb-nilezon pull /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl c:\
edit bravo-keypad.kl to your liking
adb-nilezon push c:\bravo-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl
adb-nilezon shell reboot
Mac:
./adb-mac shell mount /system
./adb-mac pull /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl
edit bravo-keypad.kl to your liking
./adb-mac push bravo-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl
./adb-mac shell reboot

Although I didn't try myself I've heard that tap tap is working on Desire S.
Another option is possible if you run CM7 rom (early beta can be found in this section). Within CM settings there is an option to enable volume keys to wake the device. I've tested it and it works perfectly. You can also use it in conjunction with Screen Off And Lock app (free version on the Market) which is fantastic app in itself. It puts a shortcut on your home screen and by tapping it you send your device to sleep. This is perfect combination for me since it actually enables me to skip using power button completely.
As for capacitive keys, afaik it's impossible to wake the device with them.

I believe the question was about Screen Off And Lock app? If that's the case then no, there's no extra battery drain. Tapping the shortcut puts the phone into proper sleep mode.
I`m using Screen Off And Lock too binded on search key to turn off. I liked to tap tap but I don`t want to have proximity sensor always on.
HEEEEELP. Now I can`t use my buttons ((( what should I do please? I can use touch screen but no buttons ( How can I enter in recovery to full wipe without buttons? (
Through ADB.

yee keys are working now. so don`t use root explorer to modify keyboard settings :|
Ended to use WidgetLocker. Very good app and I can unlock screen with volume keys but I have to forget default lockscreen (lbc rom)
I'd love to be able to implement this feature as well!
I've used WidgetLocker which did the job but the lockscreens weren't quite to my taste.
Anyone else out there keen for this feature?
No luck until now...so I`m not the only one who doesn`t want to use 3rd app that drain battery to unlock screen ) Welcome in the club bro...
update: after using ButtonRemapper v0.2.4.1:
1.volume +- with wake_dropped = didn`t worked to unlock screen.
2.volume +- binded as power and wake_dropped = when screen was on it worked to make screen off but when screen was off didn`t worked to unlock.

Can anyone tell me if the All in One Gestures app works on the S6 Edge? I have a S6 Edge rooted. I installed All in One Gestures app. I setup up the app to change my recent apps button to Menu and I made the long back press into Kill app. BUT when I exit the app none of my remap changes work? All my buttons work like the normal stock setup. I have accessibility enabled and all that. I'm wondering if this app does not work on the new Lollipop version on my Edge? Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? I'm trying to remap my buttons. Thanks.
Thank so much for this thread, I didn't even know any of this was possible. I've just come from 5 prior phones with a menu button, and I hate the Recent Apps button there. I ended up making that button do nothing (I already have the backlighting disabled), set long press on the Back button to be Recent Apps, and long press on home to Voice Search. It still doesn't give me the Menu button that I want so badly, but this will be much less frustrating. I just wish I could assign screencap to one of them. (It takes me about 8 tries to successfully get a screen cap w/ power/home.)
Anyway, thanks again!
Re-map buttons
Bueller......................Bueller.............
Personally I use Xposed Additions to re-map buttons, but you need to be rooted and have Xposed Framework (idk if it's Lollipop compatible yet, I'm on KitKat).
Xposed additions is fabulous, so if you can try and get that. You could also try Pie Controls from the play store (no root needed) and it'll let you access on screen versions of any buttons you want.
Hope that helps

Change Recent Apps Button to Menu Button
Finally figured out how to remap the Recent Apps button back to Menu....
Use a root explorer (I used X-plore with root enabled).
Go to
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Backup file Generic.kl ( copy it as a .bk or something )
Then open the file Generic.kl using the text editor within X-plore.
Then find the word APP_SWITCH linking with the code number (mine is key 254), change APP_SWITCH to MENU. Then reboot and your are done. The Recent Apps button is now back to being a Menu button. Life is great.

Thank so much for this thread, I didn't even know any of this was possible. I've just come from 5 prior phones with a menu button, and I hate the Recent Apps button there. I ended up making that button do nothing (I already have the backlighting disabled), set long press on the Back button to be Recent Apps, and long press on home to Voice Search. It still doesn't give me the Menu button that I want so badly, but this will be much less frustrating. I just wish I could assign screencap to one of them. (It takes me about 8 tries to successfully get a screen cap w/ power/home.)
Anyway, thanks again!

Can anyone tell me if the All in One Gestures app works on the S6 Edge? I have a S6 Edge rooted. I installed All in One Gestures app. I setup up the app to change my recent apps button to Menu and I made the long back press into Kill app. BUT when I exit the app none of my remap changes work? All my buttons work like the normal stock setup. I have accessibility enabled and all that. I'm wondering if this app does not work on the new Lollipop version on my Edge? Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me? I'm trying to remap my buttons. Thanks.

I have S6 edge rooted... Tryed everything and could make All in One Gestures app works, but never assigning the menu button. I think the option of having menu is not enabled in S6 rom.
Remap the Edge
That app didn't work on my edge either. But fear not my fellow Android addict! Just edit your Generic.kl file! Change the quick app to MENU. See screen shot for file location. You want to edit key 254. Change that to MENU.
BEFORE DOING THIS COPY THE ORIGINAL Generic.kl file AND NAME IT SOMETHING ELSE like Generic.org. That way you still have the original file in case......

Personally I use Xposed Additions to re-map buttons, but you need to be rooted and have Xposed Framework (idk if it's Lollipop compatible yet, I'm on KitKat).
Xposed additions is fabulous, so if you can try and get that. You could also try Pie Controls from the play store (no root needed) and it'll let you access on screen versions of any buttons you want.
Hope that helps

Remap Bixby manually & using all in one gestures; Bind to flashlight [ROOT]

The bixby button is an absolute waste of a physical key on samsungs part, and ever since I got my S8 a little over a month ago I've been trying to find a way to completely remap the key without any of this bypass nonsense that flashes bixby for a moment before proceeding with your action, or returning to your home screen etc. I'm currently using a rooted S8 on renovate ice r155, with the latest AIO gestures & Tasker.
I highly recommend using MiXplorer as a root explorer, you will need one for this. Basic knowledge on using tasker will help too.
Thanks to redplate, j91co & kuaka as I've pieced together their help in order to make this work on my phone.
Links to threads here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-remap-bixby-button-o-app-t3601061/page10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/how-to/how-to-tasker-to-assign-flashlight-t3396760
So I have made a little tutorial on how to re-assign the key; this must be done manually and does not require an app for anything other than more extensive actions.
Therefore there are two parts to this: manually re-assign the key, and linking the key to all in one gestures.
Re-assign the key:
(1) Open a root explorer, and navigate to root: /system/usr/keylayout
(2) Copy generic.kl and rename the copy to generic.kl.bak
(3) Open generic.kl and edit as text; either rename to .txt and revert back or use MiXplorer to edit directly
(4) Find '703'; it should look like # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WAKE (or 'WINK' depending on device version, its ok)
(5) Simply rename the entry in capitals, for example WINK to VOLUME_DOWN
(6) Save the file, reboot.
(7) If any issues, restore the backup.
Link to AIO Gestures & Tasker
For this example I'm going to show you how to use AIO gestures with Tasker to toggle the flashlight with the bixby key.
(1) Manually re assign the key as shown in the first part: use something not commonly used. I used the function DVR. Save & reboot after changing this.
(2) Download tasker & AIO gestures. Grant root permissions and accessibility permissions in settings.
(3) Open AIO gestures and go to the hard keys section; 3 dots in top corner > custom keys
(4) Press bixby, it should display what you assigned it to. In my case it showed DVR. Press add.
(5) It will now be shown in the list of hard keys. Press it once to open the menu. You can choose anything you like, im going to assign it to a tasker shortcut:
(6) Swipe to the 'shortcut' section and scroll down to task shortcut
(7) Add a new task, and filter for 'torch'. Set ' toggle'. Press back, and again.
You should now have your bixby key bound to flashlight. I've tested this and it works from the AOD too. Enjoy, and please give credit to the great oaks who figured this all out cus im a flop and couldn't have done it without them
Of course if you know how to use tasker and stuff you can do whatever you want with this, take full advantage of that button! F#ck samsung for forcing the stain bixby is into our devices.
by is on us.
I haven't tested myself, but apparently this method also works with all of the bixby apps removed.
If somebody would like to incorporate this into an app, that'd be mad and you'd be a legend for doing so.
Here is a list of some actions I have accumulated from some threads you can assign to the key:
VOLUME_DOWN
VOLUME_UP
HOME
POWER - Power menu
MUSIC - starts your favorite music player
CAMERA - Open camera
APP_SWITCH - App switcher
VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistant
SYSRQ - Take screenshot
CALENDAR - Open default calendar
CONTACTS - default contacts
MESSAGE - Default messenger

I guess you have never heard of the BxActions app, on xda and the play store... Remapping of Bixby button, without root even. Works great
I've used all those apps and each of them have a quirk where it flashes open for a short time, or sends you back to the home screen. In my opinion it's not an elegant solution and just isn't fluid enough, this way bixby doesn't show up at all and it works from everywhere.
Can I open a specific app on my phone with this?

BxActions can...
Interesting, always used a free version and had some sort of quirk. Maybe it's improved since I last used it like the other week, but it never blocked bixby properly.
Whilst it's a nice app, you're also heaps limited to what you can assign the key too so bringing tasker to the table gives you pretty much endless possibilities.
Maybe the Devs will see this thread and incorporate this into their app for free....
Yeah, a recent BxActions update made it so Bixby doesn't come up anymore. There is an extra one-time step to take with the PC (don't need adb or anything special), but it's super easy, doesn't install anything extra, steps you through it, and takes all of about 30 seconds. It has just about every option I can think of for reassigning the button, including ability to customize actions for a long press or a double press of the button. It's come a long way even in the last few weeks in my opinion.
Although, it's nice to have options, that's what I love about Android. I just thought I'd present another option in case it wasn't known, so thanks for your post!!
Cheers for that, I had no clue they had fixed up all the blocking stuff, I'd love to check it out but I've completely removed bixby in favor for rebinding it lol. Still, that's mad that the dev has sorted it all out without the need for even adb or root; I might check it out as some point as the only thing limiting me currently I'm not sure how to configure it for double and long presses, could be my lack of knowledge with tasker, I'm still learning all this stuff.
Does BxActions have tasker support?
Anyway cheers for letting me know, it's a communal effort to get rid of Bixby
DUDE....I HAD TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT TO THANK YOU! This mod make all the Bixby disabler app obsolete! You should put this in theme and mods, it really deserve more notice!

My thoughts exactly!
I recommend Button Mapper (from XDA developer flar2) from the play store. It can remap every key, and you can assign actions for press, double press and long press, too. It also has a long list of actions you can assign to the buttons. More, it doesn't need Tasker to be installed.
It has rooted and rootless mode; in rooted mode you can launch the actions even without unlocking the phone. It is very smooth and light, it doesn't flash the screen when Bixby button is pressed.

BxActions does all that and more apparently, as BxActions will let you launch the actions with the phone locked, even without root... Also doesn't need tasker, is smooth, light, and doesn't flash Bixby, and does single, double, and long presses, and is also from an XDA dev...
Wait, just realized you said "remap every key", as in remapping of volume keys as well? If so, that's kind of cool, even though I don't need that for anything...

Button Mapper does all the Bixby stuff for free, has more actions to choose from, also allows you to remap other buttons, and if you have root, is faster, more reliable and will give you even more options.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
I've checked out using button mapper as an alternative, and discovered only the volume keys work with the display off / device locked. Whilst it is more usefull than aio guestures, it completely defeats the purpose of having an easy to access flashlight key, considering I'd have to unlock my phone. Found that bixby actions doesn't work at all now due to remapping the key (plus im too much of a stinge to pay for long / double press, everyone with an S8 should have had this from the factory but I see nothing wrong with charging for hard work).
Found a new thread describing a method using 'Xposed edge' (pro ver here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jozein.xedgepro&hl=en, free one too) that supposedly does all these things plus double press, through using xposed, however im a bit skeptical using this as a solution due to the current state of xposed atm.
If anyone else knows a great tool that can remap CUSTOM keys, from anywhere (aod, lockscreen, home, in app), that supports long, double and single presses I would be forever grateful.
Whilst BxActions seems like the best solution to remove bixby (from the perspective of all users) at this point in time, I've just glanced through it to find a lack of tasker support (guess you could build your own tasker app and launch it but that's trek and a dirty solution), but cheers to jawomo for his effort with this and everyone else who's contributed.
I checked out button mapper, but still prefer BxActions since it works with the lock screen without root... Nice there are so many options...
I agree that it shouldn't be needed and we shouldn't have Bixby forced upon us when we pay as much for a phone as we did (or are)...
Thanks for this. Anyone know of a way to get it to work with the screen off? It works with the always-on display, but not if that's disabled and the screen is off.
Also, I'll warn everyone else not to do what I did on my first attempt. I used Total Commander to copy generic.kl to a non-root folder, made my changes there with TC Edit (part of Total Commander, but it can't get root access to edit system files directly), deleted the original generic.kl, then moved the edited version back to /system/usr/keylayout. I don't know why this didn't work, but after a reboot I was unable to use any keys at all - not the Bixby button, not the power button, even the on-screen keyboard refused to appear. I could unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner and open apps, but I couldn't restore my generic.kl.bak since I couldn't delete the .bak part with no keyboard. Thankfully I had a very fresh system backup I could restore, though I'm sure I could have also renamed the .bak file with ADB. I tried again, this time editing generic.kl directly with ES File Explorer (instead of using Total Commander to edit a copy) and it worked as it's supposed to.

How to reassign steering wheel keys - instructional

This post is not asking how to assign steering wheel keys, it is intended to be an instructional post to maybe help some of you who have found that you cannot change your steering wheel key assignments using the WheelKey Study app on your MTCD/E head unit.
These instructions will likely work for both PX5 and PX6 systems.
My system is a SYGAV/Dasaita PX6 4G RAM/64G ROM.
Here is the About Machine for my system:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Access factory settings:
Settings... Car.... Factory settings... Password 126 or appropriate for your system
Select the "other" category at the top
The setting you're looking for is "Steering wheel keys assign" If this is set to SWC Key marked above in RED you will NOT be able to change the steering wheel button assignments. with the WheelKey Study app.
Change this setting to - Can Key - as indicated below with GREEN rectangle
Touch Apply and then touch Exit.
The system will now reboot. Once it comes back up, go to WheelKey Study app and press one of your steering wheel keys. You will be able to assign the key you pressed to one of the available functions.
This shows my Wheelkey Study, notice I was able to set the keys and all work as I assigned them.
Note that you must assign ALL of the steering wheel keys when using Wheelkey Study. Otherwise you will be left with steering wheel buttons that don't work.
Optional step: After setting steering wheel keys change that factory setting back to "SWC key" and the assignments made in Wheelkey study still work as configured in WheelKey Study
Please post if you would like additional details about my system/vehicle/etc.

Thank you to @Moldeb for additional information.
Nice thread.
To turn CAN Bus off you set it to "CAN key", not exactly intuitive, lol, reminds me of when I spent ages trying to get my reverse cam to work and the only way it would was when rear cam was set it to "disable" in factory settings, of course this was the last thing I tried.
This will work for ALL MTCD/E units with any processor - RK3188/PX3, RK3368/PX5, RK3399/PX6 and Intel Sofia - as long as they have a later MCU that supports it - its all done by the MCU, not the SoM.
Thank you @typos1 Know what you mean with the reverse cam setting and how it would be the last thing you'd try. There are alot of counterintuitive settings on these units.
I think what happens is they just copy letters from Google translate or similar without really knowing what they mean or how confusing it CAN be (couldn't resist the opportunity there).
Excellent thread !
I have buy HU designed to work on Audi A6 C5 but swaped into Audi A4 B5 Avant (2000) that use CANBUS protocol.
Just needed to solder the 2 green cables out from the CANBUS box to PINS 5 (CAN H) & 6 (CAN L) on the gray connection plug back from instrument cluster (green -> pin 5 ; green/black -> pin 6)
This handling can start automaticly the HU if you switch on the vehicle's ignition and also allows you to react when you turn on or off the headlights.
Now i want to use my steering wheel control but nothing work when i push on one of the buttons in the study wheelkey app...
I will test your "how to" this afternoon and back to you to tell if it work or not
Thank you @gromsop. Please report back with your findings. I posted some additional thoughts over in the other thread. My plan is to update this thread and bring together the useful bits once we know what works and what doesn't. Perhaps this thread may prove useful for both those who have Canbus and those who are running a universal head unit with no Canbus adapter. Good luck to you.
As others here have said, nice thread @jlbooth. Good to see an informative post and not somebody posting same ole question that's been asked many times before without taking time to search.
Apologies in advance for cross post but this was a point that I wanted to move from the Canbus versions thread over to this thread.
I got to thinking about the SWC Key vs Can key options and maybe the presence/absence of the Canbus box might not really matter in this. What I'm saying is that the setting I have in my instructions purely enables or disables editing the SWC keys in the Wheelkey Study. Like a write enable/read only kind of thing.
In some applications it may be that the KEY1 and KEY2 wires must be connected and the factory setting just designates whether the Wheelkey Study app will allow edits or not. It could be there to prevent accidental changing the key assignments or simply to prevent changing the factory provided "default" SWC assignments.
So if my instructions don't work for you, you will need to verify the connections of the KEY1 and KEY2 wires. Those two wires may need to be connected for your vehicle to have any chance of working regardless of Canbus or not.
I share what worked for my car and as they say, your mileage may vary.
Small test feedback and as I suspected, it did not work.
Ie I don't have the key 1 and key 2 cables.
But since it should work for an Audi A6 and not for an Audi A4, I take it that the problem is there.
I'm not even sure I can use the steering wheel controls again.
I will still try to find the solution, I don't really like when something resists me!
Thank you @gromsop. Are you saying that you don't have key 1 and key 2 wires on the head unit or don't have wires to connect to in your car's factory harness?

Yes, that's right i don't have key 1 and key 2 wires on my HU and so i don't have wires to connect to my car.
So you have a vehicle specific unit and youre trying to re-assign SWC ?
Hi, i followed what this thread said to do on my 2013 Honda Accord but my call end call and voice button still don’t work, anything else i can do?
When you're assigning the steering wheel buttons, does the head unit respond and allow you to pick a key for the call button and/or the voice buttons?

No it doesn’t, it sits on a blank screen that shows reset and and save
Did you change the "Steering wheel keys assign" to "Can key" per the instructions?

Install @Hal9k_'s ROM - theres a feature that allows you to change the keycodes.
We don't even know if the steering wheel buttons are recognized by the head unit with the stock ROM. How is throwing a paid ROM on the unit going to help?
Plus I have a feeling that they skipped the Can Key setting. As described stock wouldn't let them set any of the steering wheel controls and the symptom suggests the "Steering wheel keys assign" setting was not changed to Can Key.
The ROM is free and it has a "show key codes" setting which will tell you if the HU is getting them by displaying them onscreen
.
Makes a ton of sense to throw a whole ROM on the system to get one feature. And has Hal started giving the ROM away for free again? The whole monetization thing was why I steered clear of the 2 non free ROMs.
