How to remap the power button and the launcher desactivated store icon?

[csdvrx]

Now that the cover buttons are working, I wonder if it's also possible to remap the power button with sds100 keymapper?

The goal is to hijack the power button "go to sleep" function, as the boox should still go to sleep by itself with the timer.

The boox could also be put to sleep with a magnet applied to the Hall sensor (like the cover does).

In any case, even if the power button key event is hijacked, pressing the power button would still cause a wakeup as it seem to be caused by a gpio triggering a change in the state machine.

The main gain would be to have a physical button for common actions (ex: back, screen rotation) and which could be mapped to its regular function (go to sleep) with keymapper for a long press, or a sequence of 2 quick power button press.

In the same vein, I wonder if it's possible to intercept the click on the default launcher side icon for the store, to launch something else (ex: fdroid, aurora...) if the store is desactivated in the settings.

So they are working?

There are still plenty of gestures that you can use.
See: /data/data/com.android.systemui/gestures_config

The cover "Hall effect" sensor (which I believe is some sort of RF sensor actually) generates:

I would have gone for SLEEP instead of POWER and that ALT_LEFT is unnecessary. Eh, I'll fix it in the kernel.

Eh, much better.

Thanks!

If you have had the chance to experiment, are my predictions correct? (ie once the power button has been remapped, can you use it with keymapper when the boox is awake? and is the Hall sensor putting the Boox to sleep, while the power button still wakes up the boox?)

[Renate]

I'm not sure. Usually SLEEP, WAKEUP, POWER are not dispatched to any app.
You'd need to change POWER to something else and have your mapper map *that* to POWER/whatever.
