This is a simple hardware volume button remapping mod. You should be able to do the same using an app such as ButtonRemapper.

The stock hardware button order POWER-DOWN-UP feels reversed for Nexus 10 when held in portrait with the volume buttons at the upper right. This button mapping is specified in /system/user/keylayout/manta-keypad.kl as follows:

Code:

key 114   VOLUME_DOWN       WAKE
key 115   VOLUME_UP         WAKE
key 116   POWER             WAKE

To remap the hardware buttons for POWER-UP-DOWN, which feels more natural, modify manta-keypad.kl as follows:

Code:

key 114   VOLUME_UP         WAKE
key 115   VOLUME_DOWN       WAKE
key 116   POWER             WAKE

I made a flashable zip for POWER-UP-DOWN button mapping, download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22573583/N10_Volume_Reverse.zip

To revert to stock button mapping (POWER-DOWN-UP) use this flashable zip, download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22573583/N10_Volume_Stock.zip

Standard disclaimer use at your own risk.

Hello,

is this MOD reverses the keys only in portrait mode or in landscape and portrait modes?

Click to collapse

if you arent using the front camera, you can just flip it upside down and it will feel right. as far as reversed landscape goes.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. I tried both your mod and doing it myself. Immediately after I save the file the system comes up with another one, just by appending bak at the end of the file name. So I cannot edit it, I got like 4 files already...

Nexus 10, Kernel and ROM from craigacgomez AOSP+ 4.2.1

I wish I found this zip before I did it manually.

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread here but would it be possible to get this mod on 4.3?

Edit: It does work on 4.3! It was one of a couple zips I flashed when the flash failed. It wasn't this zip that failed, alone it worked wonderfully.

I have been using the various versions of AOKP, and this mod has worked on all of them up to the current (4.4.4).
