Cannot remap 3 hardware buttons: Voice Cmd, OK and Camera

greetings all... i wanted to remap my Voice Command button to another activity, however, the Voice Cmd, OK and Camera buttons do not appear in the list of button options:

}
i know it was there before because i mapped it to DeviceLock. i've already tried 2 soft resets with no success. i'm hopeful that i can fix this with a simple registry change vs. a hard-reset. if this can fixed via registry edit, i would be grateful if someone could (a) export the the correct registry keys and send them to me via PM (or post here) OR (b) post where to find the keys in the registry and list the default settings... thanks in advance for feedback.

I bet it has something to do with some software you installed. I have kaiser and remapped voice dial button to comm manager and it works without any problem.

not in this case... i installed smartSS to take the picture you see in my post. thanks for the suggestion, though.

Interesting, my config screen shows butons 1-6 plus a second number 6 button (hold), total of 7 mappable keys. Have you never had all these keys shown in this config screen? or did something you add take them away? I would perform a Hard Reset and see if the stock rom brings them back. Good Luck!

sorry for that, I already changed my post, I just thought (although not knowing what smartSS is) that it is the software that reserves the use of button mappings and therefore disables them in the windows settings menu.

the buttons just didn't show up when i went to change them. i'm going to hold out for a possible non-hard reset option. for now, i'll use AE Button Plus. thanks for responding...

[APP][2.2+][UPDATE] Toggle flashlight

So i could not find an app that would do exactly what this one does...
Turn on the flashlight LED immediately upon execution of the app... Instead, every app on the market has the user open it up, then press a button to toggle the flashlight.
My app will IMMEDIATELY turn on your flash light LED then shut off the screen.
Its main purpose is to have as a lockscreen shortcut.
Install instructions:
1. Download APK
2. Place apk onto your SD card
3. Using ANY file explorer app
4. Locate downloaded apk and tap on it to initialize the install process.
5. Install and run the app once to set it up.
Permissions:
Hardware Controls [Allow app to access camera LED]
Also need to enable device administrator to allow device lock
Dont forget to hit thanks it really makes me feel good about myself knowing people are benefiting from this other than myself
Check my Signature for other work/projects by me
THANKS XDA FOR PROVIDING US WITH SUCH A GREAT WEBSITE AND RESOURCE!!

UPDATE 12/10/12 10:36 EST
-Fixed force close issue due to me being retarded....

I've searched a lot for an app like this, the past days and I've also developed one myself, which just today I've managed to finish it(have some problems though).
I will try your app, maybe is better than mine(I'm new in programming).
EDIT:
Just tried, flashlight turns itself off about 10-20 seconds after screen is off(sometimes less), at least on my device.
I'd have this problem with my app too. Do you run it as service?

This is a very useful app my friend. It's so annoying on aosp rom's hitting the power button, pulling down the notification bar, engaging the torch, and cycling all over again. This saves steps and works quite well so far.
I'll report back as I use it more over the next few days.
Using it on a sgs3 running Eclipse rom.

Just so you people know, theres actually a widget you can place on your homescreen, just long press on the screen, go to widgets...then look for Assistive Light....put in on one of your homescreens...press it, walla...LED light on back of phone lights up!!! No need to download any apk.

That's not what this is for. This is instant lockscreen on/off. This is a smart app. Obviously there are home screen options other than this.....

There is no Dotted Buttons.Please Give me some solution
Please respond this I'll surely give you more reps :good:

I think that when you have a hardware menu key the app detects this and doesn't display the 3 dotted menu button (since there would be no need if you have a hardware one)
If you are rooted, may I suggest button savior: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865525
It does work without root, but I'm not sure if the menu button is supported, you'd need to try and see

Not that I know of. If you are not rooted then there won't really be much you can do
If you are rooted take a look at LMT launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
Both these apps won't add the 3 dotted menu in but act as a hovering app that will allow you to use a different method to function as the menu button.

[X1][5.0 transform]Knowledge Required and Ideas

Hello friends!
I need some ideas and help from your knowledge-full minds if you don't mind sharing some
My first one its a problem and it sounds like this:
I really need to see where this popup is located so I can disable it because its getting anoying. Everytime I send some big sms messages and I pass a number of sent mesagges/hour, this system popup appears and I have to dismiss it for every sms message.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Translation: SMS Bomber (the app i used to simulate my daily use of sms messages) sends a big number of sms messages. Do you allow this app to send messages?
And the radio buttons are "deny" and "allow"
I used every popup blocker/finder and i can't seem to find it. I manualy searched for it in system files, I took almost every .xml file one by one and searched for a clue but i can't seem to find it at all. I made a logcat but i can't seem to understand what that big amount of data is telling me. Does anyone have a clue about this kind of system popup and how to disable it?
EDIT: i found out what's causing it, and that is the 100 sms limit generic on any android smartphone, but in my smartphone its ducking 20 msg/hour. I tried all the ways, with 3-party apps, sql editor and manual adding but it still shows up. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: I fixed it. Looks like that on 4.2 you have to add the entry in the global db
The second one its not a problem, i just need some advice. I want to customize my stock rom to the max (there isn't a custom rom for my smartphone and I want to make it just like Android 5.0 with only root acces and stock recovery/rom) and i managed to modify the status bar with exposed, I took a launcher that was just like lolipop, i modified the ppi, I tweaked the guI with some xposed plugins but that is not enought because my popups, power menu and settings menu are the same. I read something about framework res but i am not sure about it and what does it do. Do you have any info that can help me? Maybe i will publish the rom for my smartphone after I tweak it a little bit if i manage to do it well.
The third one is a problem that bothers me from when i bought the phone. Whenever i plug in my smartphone a usb cable, my telephony signal dies. I can't receive/send any calls or sms messages in that time. What could it be?
The forth and the last one is about a thing that I want on my phone and i can't seem to find nothing. I want to wake/unlock my phone without using the power button (i have a 5" smartphone and the power button is located in the upper side) with a double tap or a gesture. I heard that i need kernel-level permisions and that i need a super-amoled or amoled screen (because of the black pixels that don't light up when they are black) but nexus 4 has "Touch control" app that lets it do the knock wake but it has IPS display like mine so i guess it is possible. Any ideas?
EDIT: managed to use Tap Tap App and it's ok
Sorry for the long post, here is the cat-tax and the potato-tax
And sorry for my english, it's not my first language

Bump. Nobody has a clue about these problems?

If you have a Samsung mobile then you know [Lock Mode] for videos application, where you press the lock screen button, and videos application is not affected by screen taps, pressing Back Button, Task Switcher and Menu buttons.
Apps Taps Free brings you the same functionality for any of your applications.
Have you ever accidentally pressed the Back Button while watching video on YouTube, Web Browser, Facebook and wasted the rendered parts?
With Apps Taps Free you don't have to worry about that anymore.
To Activate / Deactivate foreground Application Lock Mode you have 2 ways:-
1- Via Notifications panel. (This option could be turned on / off)
2- Via shaking your mobile twice. (This option could be turned on / off)
* Option to define the shakes strength level to activate / deactivate lock mode.
That's it, it's very simple, yet very effective
Your kind feedback, reviews and support are really appreciated.
You can find the application in the attachment and also a direct link on Google Play.
Download Apps Taps Free:

* Could someone please tell me how to attach images and the *.APK file here, thank you.

I added the link to the application in the (Reason of edit) above, until I figure out how to add the *.APK as an attachment.

Here is the link + the head image, good luck

Well, I liked the idea of having a lock mode for any application other than videos application on my Note 3, especially that I watch many videos using Chrome and it happens a lot to press the back button by mistake and I end up needing to get back to the page and play the video and guessing the time where it closed.
Just one suggestions, I enabled the option to activate and to deactivate the lock mode via notification panel, and it would be better to have the application notification hidden on phone locked screen as the lock mode doesn't include / cover the phone locked screen.
Good luck and keep up the good work.

Thank you for your help and your feedback is really appreciated, I'll work on adding this enhancement in coming update

Any feedback or requests, come on guys, show some support

It would be really appreciated if any of the admin give the application a try and put a good word about it.

Thanks all for your interaction and support, really awesome

Working on coming update, any feedback or suggestions? Thank you.
