I would love to share some hacks for my beloved new plaything
Redefine Button Layout
When I first saw my little coby i thought that button on the front matches a home-button more than a back button, furthermore those keys on top / on the side of the tab aren't really menu and home keys as I have these via soft-keys in JB, so they could be quite useful as volume keys.
As I'm accustomed with samsung galaxy devices I love to have that sort of handling.
For that I modified my button layout
changing Back-Button -> Home Button
Home-Button ->Volume_Down
Menu-Button -> Volume_Up
There are two files that have to be modified
/system/usr/keylayout/
Generic.kl
telechips_keypad.kl
I attached my modified ones
View attachment $keylayout_mod.zip
Coby Kyros mid 7022 has these hardware keys
key 107 = power button
key 158 = button on the front
key 139 = menu button
key 102 = home button
In order to create your own button layout, you have to pull Generic.kl and telechips_keypad.kl
to your desktop-pc, modify the button function according to the numbers and push them back via adb.
You'll need root for that procedure!
if Your adb push fails because of insufficient rights You have to remount your system drive with rw permission
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 777 /system/usr/keylayout
exit
exit
