How to remap our inputs devices in our tv sticks.

[crithon]

I used tincore keymapper to map an Xbox controller for survival craft. I've never played shadow gun so I can't say for sure how well it will work, but it's a free app so it's worth a shot.

Uff, remap joystick using this way can be difficult, I think that some apk make it in an easy way.
Is an analogic joystick? Or a pad controller?

@ Leolas: the controller is an digital/analogic joystick but i found how to map the analog sticks. it was not easy but it can be done.
i edited the axes of the joystick on .kl file with the vendor and product number of my joystick.
the axes were messed pretty bad because my joystick has only four but in the generic.kl there are a lot more, so i had to go by exclusion.
i just putted a # in the front of the line for the axes and then i tested it in the game (shadowgun).
if the stick stoped moving then i new that line was for a specific axe, if not i went on and marked the other lines with #.
and for the keys i used the keytest app and found which were the keys for my joystick.
so in the end i made it and now i have a backup of that file too, in case i want to flash another firmware to the device.

@ Crithon: I use Tincore app too for some games like Real Racing that dont support the joystick function, but for shadowgun i thought it was better to play it without a middle app for the controller

Hi Leolas, i uploaded the kl file to google drive.
Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5GX...p=docslist_api
Guys remember to change the file name according to your controller and the file permissions.
Hope it helps

Hi, Thanks for the guide its really helpful. I have a Rii Mini keyboard (this:http://www.landmarkpc.co.za/store/images/ZW-51009.jpg) but for some reason the e button takes me home instead of the home button. I tried this but keytest said keycode unknown. How can I fix this? Thanks.
Also is there a way I can make the e button take a screenshot?

Just like mine, well mine is white
And this is the only button that can't be remaped by me. I learned to live with it.

Using another app (KeynumberTracker) I was able to find out that it is key number 144 (for the home button the e button is 172).
This is great so now we both have a problem solved. The key is commented out in the kl file.
Maybe if we comment out everything then we can find the other keys and have proper support for this on our dongles.
By the way, is there a way to map a button to screenshot?
Thanks again for the guide.

I dont know if a button can be maped to screenshot, because this is not an standard function

Is there anyway to do the same thing for gaming mouse. Like assign the buttons to vol up down and home screen?

I have a MiniX A2 mouse and I'm trying to remap some of the buttons so they work with my MK908II. I tried it with 2 keys first to see if I got it right and I haven't.

Mapped:

key 122 HOME
key 132 MENU

I used the keytest.apk to find out which keys to change. I've checked I've got the right Vendor and product. permissions are set right. When I press the 'home' button on the remote in the browser it moves the page to the top. So maybe 'Home' isn't the correct command as I want it to return to the desktop/launcher. I'd also like to map a key to the app switcher/multitasking as well but I'm unsure what the command is for this?

Look at the minix rom definition for the A2, there must be the codes used.

Ah it's the 'scancode' that's needed from the keytest.apk not the 'keycode' number. I was to remap the home, menu and app switcher buttons. I'll post the codes tomorrow for any fellow MiniX A2 remote users.

These scancodes are for the MiniX NEO A2 remote:

Home button 102
Menu button 60
Multitasking button 240
Volume up 115
Volume down 114

Vendor ID is 0c40 (zero's - not the letter o)
Product ID is 7a18

So the filename should read "Vendor_0c40_Product_7a18.kl" (without the quotes).

I've only remapped the above buttons so far, using the volume buttons as zoom. in the file they read:

key 102 HOME
key 60 MENU
key 240 APP_SWITCH
key 115 ZOOM_IN
key 114 ZOOM_OUT

The APP_SWITCH doesn't bring up the proper multitasking menu, just an app switcher for recent apps. I'd prefer it to bring up the multitasking menu though so if anyone knows how to do that?
