[Q] Non-Touch compactible rom?

Hi guys,
My digitizer has died, and till the new one comes I was thinking of how I could use my T7272, I can write the SMS fine, but I can't send them out, cause the button is on the screen itself... is there a rom I could use freely w/o using the touchscreen?
P.S.
Is the digitizer hard to replace?

You could check out AE Button; it has some options like button presses that will activate soft buttons. I suspect you could send sms's using it. You could also try using mortscripts with AE button that will do stuff you need. There are some pretty simple scripts that will simulate screen taps, and you could assign them to a button push. I'd rather have a working touchscreen, though.
Here are some of the commands:
# 91: startmenu (on some devices it might be home button)
# 92: back key (not the backspace key but back key for closing applications which is available on some devices such as diamnd or blackstone)
# 93: menu key
#112: left softkey
#113: right softkey
#114: accept call (green button)
#115: hang up (red button)
#117: volume up
#118: volume down
#126: data disconnect
#127: toggle speaker
#133: devicelock
#223: power off
I use one to lock the device. Basically, you just put this:
Code:
sendspecial(133)
in a .txt file, and change the extension to .mscr. I call it Lock.mscr, and I have it assigned to a few different actions (like when a call comes in, a script locks the phone). So, sendspecial(112) and sendspecial(113) might help you out. There's also one for hitting 'Ok' in popups, which would probably work for you. I can't find it, though (google 'sendspecial' and you'll find it, it's all on msdn).
Anyway, if you install mortscript (maybe you already have it) as well as AE Button, you could assign button pushes to carry out those actions. Just stick the scripts somewhere easy, like the start menu, and it will be easy to set up.
If you want to get more complicated, there are also mortscript commands that simulate button pushes on the screen. You could set one up that would do just about anything. Also, SK Schema does similar stuff. You can write fairly simple sequences of button pushes that will do just about anything. This is one that I use that runs SK Tools Pim backup (I have it scheduled to run every night in the middle of the night).
#r(\windows\sktstart.exe) #p(STH:20)
#tap(146;602) #sleep(15000)
#tap(110;533) #sleep(500)
#tap(339;455) #sleep(500)
#tap(126;604) #sleep(500)
#tap(114;84) #sleep(500)
#tap(146;99) #sleep(5000)
#tap(310;254) #sleep(90000)
#tap(433;602) #sleep(10000)
#pwr() #sleep(10000)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically, the backup tool gets launched in line 1, then there are a bunch of screen taps (w/ delays, to make sure everything is ready) in the menus to get the right options selected, followed by turning the device off.

I`m not sure... But i saw somewhere app that emulate a mouse (cursor) and you will be able to control this mouse with your D-pad... But I can be wrong...

I can't install that mortscript w/o the touchscreen though..damn it..: )..

Get MyMobiler, and use it to run your device off of a pc. You should be able to get that working.

App to grab/rebind/forward keyboard & mouse inputs?

Im curently using a half size bluetooth keyboard paired to my phone (nexus 4) which is running RemoteDroid. That is used to forward keystrokes to my PC. Why? because I have a broken collarbone and cant use my fullsize wired keyboard properly So im using my phone as an intermediate device (BluetoothK/B->Phone->WiFi->PC) to be able to use the bluetooth keyboard. Putting the phone in close proximity to the K/B means It has a much better range and signal quality via WiFi. The phone itself also has a better bluetoooth receiver than any laptop or desktop USB bluetooth receivers ive tried, giving much more reliable keystrokes at higher typing speed than gong straight to PC
The problem is some of the keys dont work correctly and I believe its because Android is interpreting them differently. i.e. 'Tab/Delete/Insert/Home/End/num +/ num -.. etc' dont get forwarded to the PC,And some keystrokes are simply incorrect` i.e. the right shift key acts more like CTRL for some things. Shift+2 becomes " instead of @ (need to press alt 2 instead) and so on
In addition I have a touchpad on the little keyboard and that only works in a limitted fashion
Is there an app out there that can 'grab' the Android inputs of a device and remap them? so i.e. mouse click could be emulated as pressing the Enter key if I so wished
Additionally` is there a progam that can forward these 'raw inputs' to a PC via USB/WiFi/Bluetooth? remotedroid does indeed forward some inputs of key presses as best it can (arrow keys for instance) but it seems to do it 'after' the android OS (i.e. alt+tab makes the android program switch applications, rather than forwarding the 'alt' and 'tab' keys to the PC)
It does not however forward mouse inputs (havnt tried gamepad) so its not possible to use a mouse or trackpad as intended. I have to emulate a screen press (hold left click on trackpad and move the cursor across the remotedroid screen)
Hope the above makes sense, and yes im aware I could simply bluetooth directly to the PC but wheres the fun in that?

Home and app switcher buttons stopped working

Nexus 6 - stock Android
Android 7.0
Not rooted
Rebooted the phone when the phone seemed hung up. The notifications, home and recent buttons (The circle and square buttons) stopped working after the reboot. Only back button is working. The buttons are registering key press, but just no action. The notifications don't work too. When I draw down , it says no notifications. I can't enable the cellular data as well, and Google ID doesn't sync. In short only voice features (calling & text) work.
Interesting,but may not be notable ,is when the phone was rebooted and these functions we're lost, vibrate on key press was enabled.(which wasn't the case before)
I gather through research here that complete reset will help. I can't backup the device (due to sync failure) nor copy files through USB (don't see the notification to enable data transfer option when I plug in USB). Therefore hoping for alternative option than complete reset.
Appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

Update
Want to add that I tried to clear cache for Google and other apps , delete and add account with no luck. The last sync time is just before the issue started.

Google 2FA Recovery, black Screen. I can unlock S6 with keyboard. How activate ADB?

Hello,
I have a Samsung S6 with android 7.0 running on it. (latest stock firmware) The screen got cracked this week and the digitizer and OLED are not working anymore.
I've got some 2 FA keys in google authenticator that i did not backup. Now i know that i have to keep the QR code safely... but that is too late in this case. I don't want to buy a new screen...
I did manage to get a full backup of my phone by attaching a keyboard with an OTG cable. but this will not recover the 2FA keys in Google Authenticator.
How you can unlock your phone with a keyboard:
1. attach a keyboard with an OTG cable.
2. press the 'esc' button' and 'backspace' button
3. insert your password and press enter. You should hear the unlock sound. (you can unlock with the fingerpint from now on, if it was set)
I did activate developer options before but i disabled it when i'm not using it. So i have to activate it again.
I think i can enable Developer mode blindly by following these steps. The phone needs to be unlocked.
1. typ one letter. This will bring up google search. press backspace and delete (just to be sure it is blank). Now type 'Settings'
2. Press the down key once
3. Press enter
4. press the down key for 10 seconds (this should focus the item on the last option in the list, which is 'developer mode' )
5. press enter
6. press up once
7. press right once
8. enter
developer options should now be enabled.not sure how i can check this tho. I checked if my computer can find my phone. I can access the internal memory because the phone is unlocked.
i asume developer options is enabled... The next step is re-activating debugging mode in order to mirror the screen. But 'adb devices' does not show any device yet. This means 'debugging mode' is still deactivated.
So i'm trying to enable 'Debugging mode' within the 'developer options'.
I searched on youtube to see how the menu looks like in Android 7 on a S6 so i can figure out how many keys i need to press in order to re-activate USB debugging. But i seem to be stuck on this step.
My question: can somebody make screenshots or a video from a samsung S6 (with android 7.0) device with a keyboard attached that shows how many key presses are needed to activate USB debugging?
When i'm in the developer options menu i think i have to press 9 times down, hit enter, then press the right key once and then hit enter again.
Can someone confirm that this is correct?
The RSA keys for my pc were already accepted previously. so that should not be an issue. unless i hit the 'revoke keys' options by accident... (i hope not!)
if anyone knows an other way to activate USB debugging without erasing the whole phone, please tell me. I need access to my 2FA keys. :crying:
edit:
i'm not sure if the steps to enable Developer mode are working. I'm reproducing the steps on an old S5 phone. I now realize that there are internet suggestions when typing "Settings' on the S5 model. I need to press 4x down then enter. hmmm... These suggestions only pops up when wifi is enabled. I can ping my S6 phone. So WiFi is enabled on my broken s6.
---
It would be awesome if someone can record a video that shows me (and potentially others) how to install and run 'SideSync' through keystrokes. on an S6 with android 7.0. SideSync can then mirror and control the screen on a pc..
I'm going to try this blindly for now... fingers crossed
edit2: it seems that SideSync needs a code that is shown on the S6 screen. damn it. Searching for other solutions...
Kind Regards,
Vincent

Miui keyboard usb - settings shortcut

MIUI 12.0.2 Global
Someone knows how to enter Settings or Search in settings or
Open TalkBack menu (I know shortcut is available as Vol+ Vol- but default is off)
with a USB keyboard connected to the phone?
It is a keyboard shortcut or a sequence of keys.
Under Win + / there is a shortcut list, but not there.

OKAY. After hours of rummaging around, I found a way.
I attach the keyboard to the phone.
Standby phone, pin locked.
I press 2xSPACEBAR, enter the pin, ENTER
(I'm on the desktop)
I press WINDOWS + N, after a while 5xTAB, ENTER
(I'm in settings)
and if someone else wanted TalkBack to turn it on even further:
ENTER
I type TAL
ENTER
SPACEBAR
SPACEBAR
(you hear a voice saying where I am currently on the menu)
WINDOWS + BACKSPACE
WINDOWS + BACKSPACE

My bestfriend is on a mi 9, and she has a broken screen.
For my phone (mi 11) I managed to get to SETTINGS with FN+A keys (oppens search bar) then typing settings and enter.
I will try activate talkback as you suggested, or maybe directly usb file sharing if I can, I'll tell you, you may have saved her her datas

cant manage to delete this post, posted same message twice
