Some button issues with TNT

I've been pretty happy with this phone, especially since I got WM6 on it but I'd like to be able to use Morphgear as an emulator. When I do, I like to use it in "west" orientation with my left thumb on the control pad and my two main buttons as Button 1 (the "mail" button) and Button 5 (the "comm manager" button) so I can press them at the same time with my thumb on 1 and my index finger on 5. When I try to map the buttons that way in Morphgear, it calls Button 5 Button 6 instead and it doesn't work in game. I thought it might be a Morphgear issue but I've tried it with other emulators and it doesn't work in them either. Why is that? Is there any way to correct it? Another annoying issue is that whenever I accidentally press the center of the control pad and Button 1 at the same time it wants to align the screen.
Any help?

that combination is probably a built in feature to pull up the align screen program for your device, and i am pretty sure can be removed by tweaking the reg. settings that correspond to the short cut.
You should post your issue under the tnt rom thread to avoid creating redundant threads.

try vjcalibrula .
it may turn calibration combo off... it works on wizard, at last..

Re-map Home and Back to SoftKeys

I'm using Butler [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464611 ] to use the extra functionality of the hardware keys ... the only thing missing for me now is the possibility to use the 2 top buttons of the touch pro [Home and Back] for the left and right softkey (that's the only thing I miss from the kaiser). Any ideas how to do it without AEB ?
And is there a program you can launch to go to the today screen?

I'd be interested in this also. Thus far Da_G's latest roms have been able to reprogram every button except volume, home, and back keys.
Unfortunately the Volume, Home, and Back keys give me the most trouble. I always keep my phone on vibrate and I never use the Home/Back buttons. Even a good way to simply disable these keys would be a start. I'd much rather be able to use my dpad without ending up at the today screen.
Although someone said they used AEB to remap the Home/Back buttons to ONLY function on a double tap.

i was just thinking about this. i noticed i could change long press for send and end as soft keys. not enough buttons on the device you know.

I also would love to be able to reprogram the home and back keys to be the left and right softkeys. There has to be some way to do it...

I did some more searching on this topic. Try DredSensor. It works for me so far.

If we can get the home, back button, set as left and right softkeys as well as set pressing the center button in as OK button then i would have zero complaints about my att fuze. Sometimes i turn my tilt back on just to use programs such as opera mini, life is so much easier with softkeys!

Yes im sure everyone is aware of dredsensor which is what i have to use when running opera mini on my fuze. What we are talking about is setting the home and back button as softkeys for good for all apps by default and also having the center button as OK as well. Do we really need a home and back button anyways? I mean we have touch screen phones, i can drag my thumb to get to home screen and press the center button to go back if set to OK button.

No we don't need an Home and Back button. The home button works the exact same as the End key. The back button is iffy. While I don't use it much, I'm sure "some" people do. There are the occasional situations when the back button is useful.
If you make the Center button "Close/Ok", then you won't have a select button. What WOULD work is set the center button to default, but do an "Close/Ok" on Center Hold.
I wish we had all the buttons unlocked to do what we wish. Using Home/Back as softkeys aren't a big deal to me, BUT being able to at least disable them or remap them in games would be sweet. (yes I know about DredSensor... I'm talking about permanent).
Another thing I am aiming for is a "virtual D-pad" using the touch pad area around the center button. Allowing us to navigate simply by making contact to the "hotspots". This would at least fix the problem with using the Dpad in games without ending up at the today screen.
If we could offload the navigational functions to the touchpad... then we could remap the buttons up/down to launch programs or whatever (left and right too).
So Pressing the buttons on the touchpad could launch apps or be used as softkeys or whatever but touching the touchpad would navigate.
Here is the thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473023

The last couple of posts have been playing down my earlier suggestion to use dredsensor to remap the home and back buttons to be the left and right softkeys (the topic of this thread). I'm not affiliated with dredsensor in any way, but I wanted to clear up this issue.
Since version 1.1 was posted on 1/17, you can in fact remap the buttons as stated above. In your config.ini file, for the [Default] profile with WindowTitle=* and ClassName=*, you have the entries:
HardKey_Launch1=Key:SoftKey1​and
HardKey_Launch3=Key:SoftKey2​
I'm not sure what you guys mean by "permanent" or "for good for all apps by default", but with this configuration these rules should apply in any app, which would seem to be what you want. I've been using this for a few days now and it works for me in the applications I've used. Anyway, it's just a suggestion. Maybe give it a try and I hope it helps.

i followed your suggestion..but i find the behavior erratic..sometimes it looks like it just goes to sleep and the keys are back to normal, and then out of nowhere starts to run again :\

From what I've read, there could be problems if you have G-Scroll installed, or maybe on some specific ROMs. Maybe post the issues you are having so that the developer can fix it in the next version.

Xtron TB706PL mcu issues?

Hi all, hoping someone is able to help with the below issue.
Have a Xtron TB706PL, currently the volume up button is not working.
All other buttons work fine, pressing the Reset button briefly mutes the unit on/off, long press resets the unit.
The unit was working fine when I first picked it up, but bluetooth was not working in terms of finding devices.
Did a dmcu.cfg update using the file from the link below, and the problem with the volume button began after that. Unfortunately I did not back up the system dmcu.cfg correctly as I saved it to flash instead of GPS (SD Card) before the change.
Managed to get the bluetooth finding devices though.
Any way of getting the factory dmcu.cfg?
Is that most likely the issue?

Have you tried assigning button in factory settings?

Thanks marchnz for the reply.
I believe I have got the correct process, but could be doing something wrong.
I have gone to factory settings and reset the key panel, then when I go to key panel study, pressing any of the four input keys does nothing at all, as if it doesn't register the press. Nothing appears on the screen to allocate the function for the key. I have seen other people's videos on how this is meant to work but doesn't for me.

As a new member, can't link any think yet.
YouTube search:
Touch-screen calibration and touch button program for PX5
(Be sure to touch the "red" mark!, I did it backwards messing around and caused my touch input to be all inverted)
Try this, I did the same thing on my Dasaita unit.
Note: (at least for my unit) don't program longpress function...it won't take it and thus default you back to square one (no working panel buttons)
Hope this helps

Guys, thanks for the help and advice!!!
Doing what Hkw84 advised resolved the issue, video made things clear.
I was using panel key study in trying to setup the keys and not the touch key study which makes complete sense now as the keys on my unit a touch sensitive like the screen...doh
Appreciate the help, deciding if i should upgrade to malaysk Android 8 now
Cheers,

Is it possible to change the way the wheel controls work on MTCD (GS PX5 Oreo)?

Can anyone advise on how I could ho about changing the list of apps that gets started by the Mode function on my Xtrons unit (MTCD GS PX5 oreo)?
I know someone has done something similar with a Joying unit, but as far as I can see, they replaced the "Sofia-1-C9-Server... apk) with an alternative version.
I've pulled all the system apps to my PC via ADB (root) via WiFi, and I can see apps like MTCControlSettings.apk and MTCContolInfo.apk but there are no apks with "server" in their name
So I'm not sure where to start looking for the APK which handles the steering wheel control "Mode" handling.
Does anyone know how this is handled ?

are you able to resolve it? im having the same problem. btw my unit is a MTCE_CSN thanks

I've not had time to investigate this.
For the moment, I've just set my Mode button to be the Home button, as thats better the cycling through a load of useless "modes" like the AV input and their useless audio and video players.
I did try to work out how the radio communicated with the system apps, but I'm having a lot of difficulty de-odex'ing (decompiling) even the radio app. Because the apps are Oreo versions, and most of the decompilers don't fully support Oreo odex (compiled application program) files
I did post a question to the general Dev part of XDA about de-odex'ing Oreo files but didnt get any responses

I would be interested in this if you figure it it out as I'd like to get dab in the list of apps it cycles through.

That would be enough for me, but with onboard apps or settings i haven't found a way to change it. I can use my Wheel control for changing volume and skipping music in any music app I am using, but the mode button always switches throug radio, ac input, mediaplayer and dvd.
The app for steering wheel control which was preinstalled on my head unit, doesn't react to any button and the firmware settings only to the hardware buttons of my head unit.
So, how did you do it?

In the Settings, ( think its in the Car) section, is the setting (app) which allows you to associate specific steering wheel buttons with specific actions.
I thought all generic units had this app, because the steering wheel button for each car operate differently.
My Subaru only has one wire from the steering wheel, and has 6 buttons. Each button has a different electrical resistance, and you have to press each button, and then associate a Short Press and a Long Press, on that button, to a specific action.
The controls like Volume + and - and Track + and - and Mute are pretty standard.
The only other button I have is the Mode button, and I assigned that to the "Mode" action in the settings. However the Mode operation, cycles though a predefined list.
So I simply reassigned the Mode button to the Home action.
I did try a few other things, like seeing if I could press 2 buttons at the same time e.g Mode and Track +, but it either treated this as a press on the Mode button or a press on the Track + button. So that didn't work.
If I get time, I'll have another go at decompiling the system apps, but last time I tried to do that, I could not see anything that looked like the list of apps.
If I had programmed it, I'd probably put the app names into a string resource, but goodness knows what the programmed did who wrote the system apps in these units.

Thanks for the quick reply. I already tried the factory settings but my steering wheel buttons won't work there. I only can set action to the buttons on my radio. Sadly I have to wait for any other solution. But thanks again for sharing your experience :good:

What brand and model of HU do you have?

Hey,
Opel/Vaux/Chevy cars have canbus hard mapped buttons.
Mine can't be configured through the in-built apps or factory settings either.
One would have to examine the canbus.apk / MTCManager to maybe update the xposed for MTCDTools.
MTCD Tools can see the button codes (3 digits), but can't map any other function or even intercept.

I have a Xtrons PB78QSFP-B which is designed for a Ford Focus and came with a standard canbus adapter for ford. But I have the old model of the HU which has only 2GB Ram not 4.
My guess is, that Ford has hard mapped buttons too, like Xorit said it about Opel/Vaux etc

update guys! mtcdtools will do the trick! though the old mapping will flicker but still the newly assigned actions will prevail.
i can live with this already. maybe ill just find the solution to delete the factory set MODE actions :laugh:

Did your have to root your unit or install anything like Xposed etc? Or does it just work with the stock firmware?

works with stock fw. im not yet doing any firmware mods

Question Remap TEYES T-Pro Steering wheel buttons

Hey guys. About a year ago I installed a Teyes T-Pro in my '14 Focus ST, and while its better than the ST1 radio I had with a 4" screen, I hate this thing. An entire 1 inch vertical segment of the screen does not work, the screen does not turn on when the ambient temp is below 50 degrees F (until it heats itself up, takes like 25+ min in winter), subwoofer pre out doesn't work, and many many more stupid issues.
The reason I'm posting, though, is I would like to remap one of the steering wheel keys. The built in app to do this, of course, does nothing. Apps like button remapper also do nothing, probably bc the buttons function over CAN-Bus. When I press the microphone button on my steering wheel it opens an app called "car-info" which also does almost nothing. I am wondering if there is a way to have another app (google assistant) open right after this "Car-info" app opens. Also, if anyone has any experience with the T-Pro any input would be very appreciated. TEYES Tech support never responded to my multiple messages, of course, and I can't seem to find a head unit that sucks less and I don't want to roll the dice on another Teyes product.
Any input would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks a ton

Anyone got anything?

Contact TEYESAustralia, Hopefully they can give you a solution

What kind of car do you have (year, make, model, etc)?
Did you install the T-Pro yourself?
Do you have schematics for your car? If so, how do your steering wheel buttons connect to the old head unit?
Can you tell from the schematics if the buttons are resistive or not? Only resistive buttons can be remapped.
If your SWC are resistive, then you should be able to directly connect those buttons to the T-Pro inputs...I believe they are labelled key1 and key2. If the SWC are not resistive, I don't believe there is anything you can do about remapping them.
