Default Long Press to get FN+Key (Cedar/Ozone)

This is a quick modification of the eT9.Cedar.wwe.kmap.txt to enable long press to get FN+Key.

This file has only been tested on a Ozone.

Install Instructions:
  • Unzip the attached file.
  • Backup your original file \windows\eT9.Cedar.wwe.kmap.txt
    • I included original this in the zip
  • Replace modified kmap file with the one in windows\
    • I used Mobile Explorer in My MobileR 1.23 to replace file. I'm sure there are other ways that are probably easier (Total Commander), but this worked for me.
  • reboot phone.

BUGS:
None reported yet

Based on the work done for the Maple here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ght=long+press

I have 3vo cooked rom from ookba, and my FN key doesnt work in the screen for typing in my peap user name and password. I replaced my keymap with this one, but it still doesnt work. Any advice?

The key map was not meant to be a solution for the bug in the rom but it does help overcome some of the function key issues like in the URL address bar and other locations, but does not correct them all. For example, I still have an issue with passwords in Opera that require function keys.

You could try use My Mobiler to enter in your username/password. You could also try a hard reset after flashing the rom.

I have no doubt that ookba will find a solution for us. We just have to be patient...

With that said, I find this key map change very useful with everyday typing.

I replaced the keymap with yours using resco explorer and saw no change whatsoever. I even opened up mobile explorer to make sure that it did in fact overwrite the file and saw your header at the top so I know it did. Do you have to enable any xt9 settings or anything? When i hold down the key i want to get the fn+key press for, it just repeats it like normal.

Did you soft reset the phone after you replaced the keymap? Try it in Internet Explorer. Some apps like Skyfire and Opera mini don't seem to like the key modification especially if you are using ookba rom.

In that case guess it's useless to me anyways as I am looking to get a temporary fix for skyfire while under ookba's. :/
