I'm using this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328478&page=2
the button on the phone that has the win logo on, and usally shows the start menu, does not work in this custom rom. I get a link not found error...
do anyone know a tweak or regedit fix that will get normal operation for this button?
go to the buttons page in setings and set it correctly
Thank you!
I was in that page before, but the button where labeled "knapp1" or "button1". That labeling where enough to throw me off track.
my startmenu button works as it is suppose to now

I"m sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, however I am having issues navigating Clockwork. My camera button has stopped working. The only way I can get into Clockwork recovery is through rom manager. The problem is I can not select a file to flash without using the camera button. Is there an alternative way to boot into recovery without having to hold the camera button ? Also is there another way to select a file to flash without using the camera button? Thanks !

Have you tried using the keyboard?
I have, when I press the enter or return key it displays "Return key Not Allowed".

What about the home key?
The Keyboard Home Key does nothing, Touch Screen Home Screen makes the screen go blank/black.
As far as I know koush didn't build it with any alternative buttons this would have to be taken up with koush to have fixed I would think.

You sure nothing got corrupted in your installation? what kernel are you using?
I'm pretty sure there isn't any corruption. There is a physical problem with the camera button. It is stuck and I tried to force it out but to no avail. I am using Baked Snack 1.6 w/ his ultimate kernel.

I understand but if something is failing and its a hardware issue...then taking it in is the best thing you can do as you don't know what else will start failing in the future...
I have used both the keyboard arrow keys with the Enter key and the volume rocker with Camera key. They both work fine.
you could also search for or ask if anyone still has cwm 2.5.0.9 or whatever the one previous to the final release was. that one worked just the same as far as function but the buttons was i think smiley to move up and down and "k" was select (camera button). you could just one click flash it from your pc, might hold you over til you can get the hw fixed. although, taking it in to sprint, wouldnt you be odin-ing back to stock anyway? they might ***** about your warranty if you're custom rom/kerneled.
ROM Manager Pro will let you have access to newer and older CWM's.
I just got done going through the proccess of installing the updateable ROM from XBmod and YukiXDA can continue to have issues with the buttons.
The "Readme" file says the button layout should be the same as on all the other ROMS with the green button being the camera button. So far with using both versions of the ROM they provided I have had no luck. The green button doesn't do anything but activate voice dialing when held down for a second.
Can anyone help me please?
You have a soft button in camera, why do you need a hard button ...it can sometimes unnecessarily get switched on in pocket
Sent from my Schubert using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yeah see that. I was hoping for the hard button. Oh well, Thanks, I think the fact that it was 2:30am (hour # 20 of my day) I just wasn't paying attention.
I did have one other big problem. Once I updated to 7720, the phone would continuously reboot itself. It wasn't just a shutdown and restart, it would revert back to it's initial bootup settings. I wouldn't have to set up the phone but it would wipe any changes that I made to it (ie: apps downloaded, apps pinned to the start screen, etc...).
I followed the steps as to a "T", has anyone else had this problem or is there possibly something I can do to fix it?
download cab file from here http://xboxmod.sylvester20007.com/cabs/keymapping/
in first txt file you have layout so pick one that you like and update
it worked for me

Hi,
I have just installed tytung ICS ROM v1.5 for my HD2. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860 )
This is the first time i flashed my phone.
Everything work properly but i have a strange/annoying problem : i can't turn off my phone !
When i press power button a few seconds, a screen who asks me if i want to put phone on plane mode, or change phone mode ( mute, vibrator, ect...) appears. But i can't power off, if i press one more time the power button when i'm on this screen, the phone freeze during many seconds and says that no sim card are found. And just after i have to re-enter my sim-code to unlock the phone.
Like if he reboot.
I don't undertsand, can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance !
PS: sorry for my bad english.
EDIT: i search on network how the power menu will be displayed.
I found this: http://i.imgur.com/Gz1HH.png
But, on my case, i've just "Airplane Mode" and the 3 sounds icons.
PowerOff, Reboot and Screenshot are not displayed on my menu, why ?
EDIT 2: I found my problem, in general settings i actived "show power off menu" and now it work
Sorry for inconvenience.
I am glad the OP was able to fix the problem. But for anyone that this does not fix your problem, I suggest you go and grab the app Quick Boot from Google Play. You have to be rooted to use it but it gives you all the following options.
Power down
Reboot into Recovery
Restart
Edit: You also have to be using clk as the custom bootloader for Android for the Reboot to Recovery option to work.
Hello, I'm currently running an older version of android, namely the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.5 and I've recently encountered some very serious problems.
I don't really know why, but my system crashes/reboots whenever I press a navigation key(back, home or menu on softkey, any of the buttons for hardkey) and I really have no idea what is causing it. I've tried a lot of things and I really don't know what to do.
When I press any of those keys it hangs for a while then skips straight to OS booting(not MAGLDR bootloader, the animated loading screen of the OS), then when it loads it will say a sim was just inserted and I'll need to reboot the system, after I reboot it works fine until I press a softkey.
Naturally, you can't use a phone for 5 seconds without pressing any of the keys, especially the back and home button. So I really need help regarding what I can do to fix this ASAP. Any answers will be GREATLY appreciated, thanks in advance.
Honestly I'd say just try another ROM, but first it could be as simple as dirty flashing your existing ROM over itself.
Hi,
My L720-S4 is experiencing a failure of the touch buttons (menu and return buttons next to the home button). I've researched and tried various programs, such as Virtual Button Bar and Button Savior. With these programs, the return function works well but the MENU button does not work.
I've done Xposed but that didn't have the options for the MENU button that I could find.
So after further research, I rooted the device to edit the /SYSTEM/USR/KEYLAYOUT/GENERIC.KL file to change the volume down button (114) to MENU. Unfortunately this also does not work.
Can I get some advice or suggestion as how I may go about reprogramming on of the keys to act as the MENU button ideally or have a menu button GUI overlay like the two software above? Device is currently on stock ROM @ 4.4.2.
Many thanks in advance for those that can help save this S4.
Cheers!
The Sprint S4 boot loader comes unlocked,and since youre already rooted,just flash a stock ROM or ODIN back to stock and re-root. All of this assuming you just want the buttons to work like stock.

It's probably me but what you suggest seems to be where I'm at right now. Flashing back to stock then re-rooting is the same as me rooting the stock ROM. If at all possible, I'm trying to map the volume down button with one press to work in place of the defective MENU button and a long hold of the volume down button will lower the volume.
Again, maybe I miss understood your suggestion so my apologies if that's the case and hope you'll explain in more detail.
Cheers!
