Remap buttons?

<< < (3/6) > >>

emreka:
My bad, I totally forgot about quickscreen and wasn't paying attention to the question you were referring to in your previous post. The quick screen suggestion doesnt apply to me anyway, as I am stuck without a scroll wheel to to perform any tasks on player. Even if I was able to assign volume controls to the quickscreen, it wouldn't be much of a help. What I need is to assign the functions of the wheel to two other buttons or button combinations, which seems beyond my skills. Thanks for the help anyway.

edit: I'm actually experimenting with the keymap-e200.c, thanks to "The Simple Guide To Compiling In Linux" it's quite easy to compile a build. What I'm trying to do is kill record function and replace "BUTTON_SCROLL_FWD&BACK" with "BUTTON_REC|BUTTON_DOWN&UP".
My question is, how would I kill all other functions of the Record button? Replacing it with the broken button in the keymap-e200.c doesn't seem to work. What else do I need to do?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for stealing the thread,Overlord Nadrian. I will try to keep this as short as possible.
OK, I now realize "replacing all" was a stupid idea. I'm looking into the keymap and trying to solve conflicts, it doesn't seem so hard. I gave up some functions such as quickscreen, pitchscreen, scanning through songs, etc. I sorted out some tasks assigned to two buttons like "BUTTON_SELECT" and "BUTTON_RIGHT".  Releasing BUTTON_RIGHT&LEFT from default mapping, I assigned them to ACTION_WPS_VOLUP&DOWN in the WPS like this: BUTTON_RIGHT|BUTTON_REPEAT (which was formerly assign to scanning through songs) so now I can adjust the volume. The player is operational, with the ##Music# being on top and "Power button+right&left" combo, I can open files and switch through albums(folders). However I would like to access the database. Main problem is I can't browse "up & down" in any of the list views. I am stuck on the top. I can't see an option in the keymap either. Where am I doing wrong? What action code or option defines up&down in list views and main menu? Is it independent of the mappings? If you guys take the time to answer please keep in mind that I am not a power user or a native English speaker. Thanks.

Would it be possible to remap the power-on button? Unfortunately the little switch inside the unit broke and I don't have a replacement. (Maybe Frys has one? It is *tiny*!!)

You could remap it inside rockbox, but you'd still need to use it for anything else other then rockbox (like turning on the player).

posfan12, if the power button is broken i think the only way to turn on the player is to connect it to PC. If you turn off auto-shut down you may not even need it. As for remapping buttons, it's not that hard. I'm attaching the original keymap for e200 (open it with any text editor other than notepad, it makes a mess), you might want to take a look, I can share a few tips if you decide to compile your own build.

That being said, I'd like to repeat my question. I pretty much sorted out everything except up and down function in any of the menus(my scroll wheel is broken). Are there action codes for that? I looked through the keymap but cannot find anything useful for me. What I want to do is replace the default tasks assigned UP and DOWN buttons and with those of scroll wheel.
