(Q) [Solved :)] Search button as Camera button

---

Anyone know if it is possible to make it so the search button takes a pic when in camera. I wish the dx2 had the dx camera button

Unfortunately, I've tried to find a working way to get that done but I can't find a way to get it. There are ways to change the layout of the buttons, but for some reason I couldn't get it working. Ill keep looking and let you know what I find, lol because I want it too!

I have mine like that right now. /system/usr/keylayout. Open the tegra-kbc.kl file in a text editor and find the line that says key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED and comment it out by putting a # in front of it. Then just add a line that says key 217 CAMERA . Reboot your phone and you should have it.

Ah, I see. I tried just adding CAMERA to that line. I was trying to get it to still work as a 'search' when your not using the camera - but who uses that anyways? Nice job.

So it worked with no side effects? Id probably like no search key outside of the camera it annoys me

Thanks man. Much rather have the camera over the search anyway.

I know what you mean. I never use that search button anyway. It's one of the first things I do after flashing a new rom. That's one thing to be aware of. Flash a new rom and you have to do it again.

In the same file, is it possible to make the volume buttons wake the phone? I see it shows wake for the home button. And I dont know what wake_dropped means for the menu and back buttons.

Yes, it's possible. WAKE means that if that button/key is pressed while the phone is asleep (screen is off), it will wake the phone up and return it to the app/lock screen.
WAKE_DROPPED means that if that button/key is pressed while the phone is asleep (screen is off), it will 'wake' the phone, but it will NOT return it to the application/lock screen.

Basically, WAKE = unlock phone, WAKE_DROPPED = Doesn't unlock phone.
