walkmen key

sorry for bumping this post..
but when i trying to change the file it said access denied even after i gave root access to the file explorer
"Eaccess (permission denied)"

there's another way?
my phone is rooted with stock rom and kernel
i also tried Mount /system (rw / ro)

(i want to use it for end and answering calls so i wrote "WALKMAN #200 HEADSETHOOK WAKE"

    This is a little example for how to use walkman key as search key so with this u can use any app u want with that kay by just using an app that changes search key behavior

    1.Using any file explorer with root go to /system/usr/keylayout/
    2. Edit with texteditor file: pm8058-keypad.kl

    It should look like this:

    Code:
    # this corresponds to kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm/keypad-coconut.c
    #
    # defines for values are in frameworks/base/include/ui/KeycodeLabels.h
    
    key 115   VOLUME_UP         WAKE
    key 114   VOLUME_DOWN       WAKE
    
    # KEY_HOME
    key 102   HOME              WAKE_DROPPED
    
    # CAMERA Related Key
    key 212   CAMERA
    key 528   FOCUS
    
    # WALKMAN key
    key 200   VENDOR_1

    At the bottom of the file u can see:

    Code:
    # WALKMAN key
    key 200   VENDOR_1

    VENDOR_1 is used to tell android which action the key will take
    so if we change VENDOR_1 to SEARCH wolkman key will be recognized as a SEARCH key.

    So the file after changing it should look like this:


    Code:
    # this corresponds to kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm/keypad-coconut.c
    #
    # defines for values are in frameworks/base/include/ui/KeycodeLabels.h
    
    key 115   VOLUME_UP         WAKE
    key 114   VOLUME_DOWN       WAKE
    
    # KEY_HOME
    key 102   HOME              WAKE_DROPPED
    
    # CAMERA Related Key
    key 212   CAMERA
    key 528   FOCUS
    
    # WALKMAN key
    key 200   SEARCH

    After editing the file save it and reboot device.

    U can map any action to this kay that android will recognize for the rest of actions availdable u can use qwerty.kl as refrance:

    Code:
    key 399   GRAVE
    key 2     1

    key 1     BACK              WAKE_DROPPED
    key 68    MENU              WAKE_DROPPED

    And the most useful with Walkman:

    Code:
    key 200   MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE    WAKE
    key 201   MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE    WAKE
    key 166   MEDIA_STOP          WAKE
    key 163   MEDIA_NEXT          WAKE
    key 165   MEDIA_PREVIOUS      WAKE
    key 168   MEDIA_REWIND        WAKE
    key 208   MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD  WAKE

    When changing action taken by walkman key to one of the above like MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE its advised to add this WAKE too if u want to use this button when phone is sleeping

    So it should look like this:

    Code:
    # WALKMAN key
    key 200 MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE

    Hope this helps:)

    /

    # WALKMAN key
    key 200 HEADSETHOOK WAKE

    to end call, BEGIN CALL and music control (the button will work like buttun on headset)

    If u want to assign poweramp app to Walkman key the only option for now is to assign it as search key and then with app for example: LaunchKey assign an app to long press search key.
