Something went wrong with my Vox. It doesn't longer completely dim the display after a given timeout. What could be the problem?
Search this forum maybe?

Thanks for the hint but I couldn't figure out which keys to edit or create. Could you please show me an overview of your keys in "HKEY_Current_User > ControlPanel > Power"?
Thank you in advance.
I found the full version of the tutorial and it worked: http://titourhea.free.fr/site/faq.php?lng=fr&pg=312
Thanks to all
What do they mean with:
"HKEY_Current_User, ControlPanel, Power, faire : Values, Display (cliquer dessus), Value Data par défaut = 60"
Do they mean setting value "Default" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?
(in my case it is unset)
Or do they mean setting value "Display" in HKCU/ControlPanel/Power ?
(in my case "Display" does not exist)
Depending on which registry editor you use, it'll have different means of editing the values for that key's default value.
So if it were arranged as a tree, it would look like this:
Code:
HKCU
\\
ControlPanel
\\
Power <== *** under here, you'd edit its (Default) (or hit Values softkey in PHM) ***
\\
LockLevel <== this is a sub-key of the Power key, which has it's own values
\\
Display <== if this existed, it would be here, as another sub-key of Power
I have still not under stood. I am using resco registry editor but : what to change in what I have somethin " Locklevel" under Power.. nothin else. what to change in this. I am using HTC VOX

I do not understand either:
so you do have to create a value under "Power" that is called "Display" (if - as with my Vox - it is not there) and under that you can enter 60,30 or whatever?
TIA
Here's how I did it using Resco's Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKCU>ControlPanel>Power
There you will find:
Code:
..
LockLevel
(Default)
Display
Click on "Display". Now you will see "DWORD Data". Enter "30" there (stands for seconds).
PS. You DO NOT need to create any new keys, string values or whatever.
In my case after some readings from various forums i've found out my problem was caused by installing the tcpmp player. It created the "display" value in the first place. So the best way is to simply delete the "display" value.
After that on the tcpmp player options > settings > advanced - select the options for " no backlight keepalive for video" and home screen timeout for music".
This solution has worked for me. I just have to manually change the display timeout settings to "never" before playing anything on the player.
Hi guys, i want to do a very simple app for WP7.
It's my first app, so i'm very noob
I put a butto, and i want that when i click on it, it opens a picture.
How i can do that?
There is a guide for noob like me?
you might probably wanna check the guide from Microsoft student..
Please try this out an see if it works. This is using a default empty silverlight project.
In the designer (MainPage.xaml), add a button and an Image element using the XAML:
<Button Name="testButton" Width="140" Height="100" VerticalAlignment="Top" Click="testButton_Click">Open</Button>
<Image Name="imageElement" Width="300" Height="300"></Image>
This should be added inside the Grid Element named "ContentPanel"
Next add the image to your project by right clicking your project in the solution explorer and selecting:
Add -> Existing Item -> And add an image called "test-image.png"
Click on the added image, in the Properties box, set Build Action -> Copy Always
In the code-behind file (MainPage.xaml.cs), add the reference to the library BitmapImage by adding "using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;" to the top of the file.
Add a click event handler for the button using the code:
private void testButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Uri imageUri = new Uri("/[ProjectName];component/test-image.png", UriKind.Relative);
BitmapImage testImageBitmap = new BitmapImage(imageUri);
this.imageElement.Source = testImageBitmap;
}
But make sure to replace [ProjectName] with the name of your windows phone project.
The ultimate solution for assigning an action or application to the Bixby button
I found a trick to assign the Bixby button to an action, application and more... Support a single click, double-click and hold (also works the screen off)
Here are the functions you can assign to the Bixby button
Navigates: back, home, recent apps...
Controls: sleep/wake up, show power menu, shutdown, reboot, expand notifications panel...
Rotation control.
Media controls: play/pause, next, previous, stop...
Fast scroll: scroll to top/ bottom.
Edit: copy, paste...
Universal copy, one tap copy text every where.
Settings: auto brightness, rotation, wifi, mobile data...
Start app/shortcut/activity, finish activity, previous app/next app, kill app...
Freezer: freeze/thraw app.
Input gesture, key event, text...
Shortcut panel, app drawer, freezer drawer, side bar...
Floating widget.
Swipe adjust: swipe on the edge to adjust brightness, screen filter, volume...
Gesture pointer, extends your finger.
Notification, speech, toast.
Screen filter, torch.
Conditional: if screen on, keyguard on, wifi connected/disconnected, battery level, time period, wifi connected to, app focused...
Multi action, saved multi action.
...

Step 1
Remap Bixby Button
As in the article :
1. Go with any root Explorer (I'm using Solid Explorer) to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Rename the Generic.kl to Generic.txt
3. Open this file with an text editor
4. Search for 703 to get following entry: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WINK
5. Change it to whatever you want. I simply tried following: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 ASSIST
6. Rename it back to Generic.kl (otherwise you won't be able to press any hardware button after reboot)
7. Check permissions
8. Restart your device
For now, Bixby is used Google Assitant with item display on the screen
Other order :
HOME - Homebutton
POWER - Powermenu

Xposed is used to assign advanced commands.

I see. How safe is Xposed to install ATM (could I ever possibly need a USB jig)? Running the first original firmware released for S8+

I completed the article hoping to have answered the question
All this instead of just using bxactions which does the same thing?
You've blatantly copied and pasted stuff from other threads here, give credit where it is due please.
Be aware xposed at this stage is unofficial, experimental and unstable.
This can all be achieved minus double tap with other methods (need root to edit kl file tho). Don't steal people's hard work and effort and pretend it's yours, link to their threads.

Quite simply because xposed edge offers much more possibility of personalizing the Bixby button

Apparently, you did not read the entire guide because, at the end of each step, I put the source. So after putting the source, I did not believe it was my job. Everything I did as described above in the guide, I made a guide of all I did to be able to customize the Bixby button.
And to test other methods like Bxactions, I can tell you that there is much more possiblity of personalization with this method.
But for the Xposed case you're completely right I'll presume it still unstable.
I would add a second time the source as the end of the guide this time. So that one can see it well and that one does not say that I have spent the work of the others for mine.

Cheers, didn't see that. I'm going to install xposed again at some point and test this method out myself, you're right in tasker does have a bit of overhang and chews up resources, and can have a short delay depending on your multitasking habits etc. Most likely won't use this as a method until systemless xposed is more stable or rovo releases an offical n version.

I can not guarantee you will not worry.
But for my part I did not have any apparent problems of instability or bug.
And from what I read it works perfectly in general on the S8.

Hey all,
Really hoping someone has a solution,
last night i manually updated the Generic.kl file via the text editor, after changing the value from WINK to VOICE_ASSIST i've lost all manual buttons?
-Have tried:
Changing it back, Duhh.. - Did not work.
Copying a fresh copy of someones elses "Generic" file. (thought i may have accidentally changed an additional value)
Factory reset.
Have now reflashed my rom.
Any other idea's? For the life of me i cant work out how to get my buttons back..

When you have finished modifying generic.kl, you have to check that in the properties of the file the attributes are "rw-r--r--" otherwise you modify them. And you reopen the file to be sure that it is still readable. It can happen that according to the text editor use, the file genreric.kl is re-coded differently after the modification.
(Personally I use Solid Explorer to realize all his)
If not simpler here is the file genric.kl modified so that you can replace it directly but you will only have to check your attributes once the file replace.

Another safer solution is to flash this zip file and there will be nothing to check.

I'm in the same boat as the other guy, I have done as you said and tried both ways you suggested but still my buttons don't work
---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------
I finally fixed it. All I had to do was basically redo everything g from the beginning only correctly this time. I was so worried about my buttons not working that I gave up on the bixby key alone and was just trying to get it back to normal that I didn't even thing to just start from scratch as if it was still working . If that makes sense. I feel like I'm not making sense tho .
Hi, after determining the protocol to change the keyboard layout thanks to user birdie in this post, I remain unable to disable/remap my "recent apps" button in the navigation bar. (Another way to reach that goal would be the gravity box requires Xposed framework which is not yet compatible with my phone/firmware.)
For completeness:
Android 7.1.2
LineageOS version: 14.1-20180609-NIGHTLY-osprey
Phone: MotoG3.
In the original post referred to above, the recent button is said to be found in file
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl
However, that file does not exist (in that location) on my phone. The only two files that do exist are:
Code:
Generic.kl
AVRCP.kl
Hence I inspected both, and modified Generic.kl to
Code:
key 580 BACK VIRTUAL
key 581 HOME VIRTUAL
key 582 HOME VIRTUAL
So to be explicit, I remapped the "recent apps" button mapping, to home. However, it does not have any effect, neither after rebooting. Therefore, I have the following question:
Does anyone know in which file and under which key number the "recent apps" button is mapped, for the phone as detailed above?
Kind regards
