Great B)

Well, am going to try at least more variants of the recovery using kernel from different source bases:

• Deadlink's kernel code
  
• Kallte Kaffe's kernel
  
• and sebastian's kernel
  

So stay tuned... ;)

Racerboy:

This image is using deadlink's kernel that is freshly compiled.... :)

Racerboy:

This is using KK's source (which is quite old I believe)....

ok results:

deadlink recovery no go!!! cold boot cycle`s the green droid screen until i let go of the vol- button, rebooting into recovery from the desktop bypasses the recovery altogether and loads the phone normally.

kk recovery no go either, identical results :(

eeek! :(

Okie....

so it looks 4pda's kernel you have had success with.... Will rebuild recovery again using 4pda's cm7 kernel as the recovery kernel again to confirm.... brb...

Edit:

Here's the attached recovery using 4pda's kernel, post back here... ;)

ok 4pda recovery

cold boot does boot into recovery, same as before no hard key or virtual key responses only power button works to exit recovery and restart the phone

rebooting from the desktop into recovery works, but now the < left arrow seems to the correct key config now (hard key call end does the same) although cant confirm this as i cant select anything, power button only restarts the phone now and the + virtual key still not working, hard key make call does nothing either.....

so their is progress here :)

Great stuff.... so far...

Just realized something....

you did say in original cwm, pressing the make call key is used to select a menu option right?

In our cwm mod, it uses the home key, hence the virtual + key does nothing....

[Guest Racerboy]

yes orginal cwm make call hard key is select but in your mod cwn no function for this hard key nor the home button

[Guest t0mm13b]

Right... need to figure the code for the hard key to 'make call'.... :)

Then that should do it... I think.... only annoying thing is that it wont work from cold start....

P.S: What about the back key on the original cwm? what is used for that?

do you have that info from the logs we gave from evtest?

by pressing power button once this goes back 1 level in sub menus

Might need to run that again....

Am looking at post #21 of this thread and its not present....

Can you run the evtest against the /dev/input/event1 and press the end call key and the power key to get the codes, please?

[Guest Racerboy]

power button did not return a value on event1 but end call did

event2 had reaction with power button only when going to sleep or waking

event3 reacted everytime i pressed the power button

Thanks for the screenshots...

Oh!

/dev/input/event3 is for the power button which is for .... going back up a level in the menu structure....?

What about make call button? that's for going down a level in the menu...? Not the end call key is it?

correct, and i`ll just check and post screenie of make call, 2 ticks

[Guest Racerboy]

event1 make call hard button

make call hard key in original cwm selected things

end call button in original cwm didnt do anything apart make the menu interface disappear and leave the clockwork pic behind

Okie :)

Thanks for your assistance in this - I will amend the recovery gui to cater for those new codes... ;)

Stay tuned. :D

Cheers

[Guest t0mm13b]

Okie, :)

Here is the latest and fixed version in that the + key (which should simulate the make call to select) and the left arrow key (which should simulate the pressing of the power key to go back) ....

Let me know how that goes ;)

Cheers,

ok, exactly the same results as last 4pda recovery, cold boot no hard key or virtual key functions apart from the power button to reboot/restart

reboot from desktop into recovery works

no change to virtual keys at all :blink: apart from the virtual < arrow key now does nothing

reference post #107

Okie, about the cold start - recovery does not work (that's something specific in the nature of the handset outside of my knowledge), but warm start by way of rebooting from rom desktop to recovery works....

Now on to the virtual keys.... :blink:

wtf.... :lol:

Gosh, that racer handset is annoying..... lol

So let me get this straight, the virtual left-arrow key worked okie previously...?

As for the plus virtual key, does that do anything?

:D

[Guest Racerboy]

do you want me to test with evtest the virtual home,menu,back buttons to find there value ???

[Guest Racerboy]

"Gosh, that racer handset is annoying..... lol" an under statement :lol:

"So let me get this straight, the virtual left-arrow key worked okie previously...?" no it reacted with a flicker of the screen which probably indicate its function was back button (from sub menu`s)

"As for the plus virtual key, does that do anything?" nope nor the home virtual either

[Guest t0mm13b]

To clarify and to prevent confusion, in nailing down this racer handset with this latest recovery using 4pda kernel:

• Icon with Plus on it - (for Select to go down a sub-level) - Work?
  
• Icon with Up arrow - (to move up the menu bar) Work?
  
• Icon with Down arrow - (to move down the menu bar) Work?
  
• Icon with Left Arrow - (to go back up a level) Work?
  
• Icon with Fingerprint and a minus sign through it (increase sensitivity) - Work?
  
• Icon with Fingerprint and a plus sign through it (decrease sensitivity) - Work?
  
• Icon with Fingerprint - (resets to default sensitivity) Work?

Please do that I'd appreciate it and can you refer back to my previous posting (Post #123) to use that as a record to be able to help ease and avoid confusions :)

• Icon with Plus on it - (for Select) - Work? no
• Icon with Up arrow - Work? yes
• Icon with Down arrow - Work? yes
• Icon with Left Arrow - Work? no
• Icon with Fingerprint and a minus sign through it - Work? no unless it tells you its changed, doesnt feel anymore or less sensetive when i`ve pressed it
• Icon with Fingerprint and a plus sign through it - Work? no unless it tells you its changed, doesnt feel anymore or less sensetive when i`ve pressed it
• Icon with Fingerprint - Work? no indication to say it works or doesnt

i`ll test virtual keys with evtest (home,menu,back) brb :)

EDIT: now the power button when pressed and held doesnt restart anymore it selects things ( i`ve not rebooted out of recovery since installing) also now that i can select things the END CALL hard key does the back function lol
