3D Button remap

---

I might be the only one that thinks the button is worthless, but if anyone would like to remap it to the camera let me know and I'll write up the instructions on how to change it.

This will disable the option to switch between 2D and 3D when looking at pictures or in the middle of games but if your like me I dont have time to play games or mess with 3D pictures, and yes that makes the phone no different that any of the others but I just like the phone it's self.

steps

1. Download Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout
3. Top of app select mount R/W
4. long click on omap-keypad.kl till menu pops up
5. select open in text editor
6. scroll all the way to the bottom to key 249
7. Edit 3D_HOT_KEY to CAMERA
8. Back out of text editor and select mount R/O in top of app
9. Back out of Root Explorer
10.Reboot

This will now map the 3D button to open the camera insted of something you may never use.

Go back to stock.

1. Navigate back to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Mount R/W
3. Only do this if you have the omap-keypad.kl.bak this is a backup of the original file
4. Delete the modified omap-keypad.kl
5. Rename omap-keypad.kl.bak to omap-keypad.kl
6. Back out and restart.

There you go.

Im interested!

Cool, I may do this, I didn't know it actually turned 3d on / off while in a 3D picture or in the camera.

I hate it when I accidentally hit it.

Might be a dumb question but it just disables the ability to suddenly turn on the 3D in the middle of something but doesn't actually disable the 3D capabilities? If so, I'm very interested.

The remap works. How ever when I changed it back to 3D_HOT_KEY the 3D key does nothing.

Yup.

Instead of making it open the camera could it be programmed to act as a shutter button for the camera to take pictures?

No it doesn't disable 3D just changes what the button does.

It makes my four bottom buttons light up as if it's registering that something is supposed to happen. But nothing happens. Strange. I looked back and the text still says CAMERA.

I don't know if this makes a difference or not but under the qwerty.kl it says 3D_HOT_KEY is still at key 249. The ompa-keypad.kl and the omap-keyboard.kl.bak show key 249 as a camera.
