[Q] Mapping key on x10 mini

[rollbar]

I have a question for you all .
Is possible to use the back button to end a call?
I know that's possible to map the standby/reboot key to end call but i have a silicon cover who is covering that key and i don't use it very much because i have to press hard on it.
Will be very usefull to have the back button who ends my calls!!!
Excuse for my poor english.
Regards ,Rollbar.

No. Only the upper (power) button.

I think that can be a possible thing, since there's some of keyboard mapping around, but its not a simple thing to do...

I can't end calls with the top power button. how can I do this? thanks

Lol guys there is a simple way too set the back key to end call
1.Open root manager and open the file /system/usr/keylayout/mimmi_keypad.kl in text editor
2. Change key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED TO key 158 BACK ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
3. Save the changes and thats all.....report if u get any error ;-)

Wait!! Dont try the above method, it works but after reboot gives problems....dont know why?
Will find a workaround soon.

Edit: After system restore from xrecovery all issues are fixed......and back key does ends calls!...was it error on my device?..Can someone please try the same on their devices and post the result. 0

So finally I have figured a simple process to map the back key to end call. You will need xrecovery to be installed(that means u need root as well)
Follow the procedure in post 6 and call urself from any other number....use the back key to end call.
Now restart you phone and let it boot normally......at this boot all keys will stop working......now boot into xrecovery and flash the keyboard u need from the link below

....reboot
There would be no need to restore as keys would respond normally with back key set up to end calls....but I would however have a backup handy.
Worked fine on my x10 mini pro running cmv3.6. -

No not a joke.

this is what I did.
There is a tab between endcall and power.

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED
key 102 HOME WAKE
key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 107 ENDCALL POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 85 FOCUS
key 212 CAMERA WAKE

I put it on my phone reboot. and the power button does nothing.
and restore to the xrecovery before the mod and the button works again. but it does not endcall.

the link doesn't show Qwerty US, which one is US?
I see, •QWERTY-EN | PT (ENGLISH) (Brazilian/Portuguese, is that the same?

I am also using stock rom btw.

any help would be great.

See I had this workaround working for me on cm6 and it worked really fine now I have ditched my mini pro so I really can't help you much and I am not sure if it will work on stock rom so I am sorry if this caused you any problem.
Btw all the stuff I posted was to set back key to endcall..I dunno have any idea what it does with power key....seriously whatever was written it worked genuinely for me and I can't really help why it doesn't work for you....just asssume that method to be a sham and ignore it.
