Disable Physical Keyboard on Sprint Touch Pro

juicy_juice · #1 (**permalink**) 11-24-2009, 11:26 AM

I am wanting a cab or a registry file that will disable the physical keyboard so that it no longer works. I am trying to get my phone replaced and I have the keyboard go out before but now it wont do it again which would be great but I am ready to move on. I want the file so I can take it to the sprint store and get a Hero(which I can, it's on the list now! ). So I am trying to make it appear like this TP has the same issue as 99.9% other touch pros and my previous 2 other TP's. To clarify: I want to disable the PHYSICAL keyboard not the software keyboard.

I didn't put this under "cab style registry edits" because he requires the registry changes to be provided and he converts to a cab. This is different because I dont know the files to change.

Do we have a conscious, a sense or morality?

I'm not scamming sprint. The keyboard really is f'd. It stops working for 5-6hours at a time but starts working randomly. I took it to Sprint store last night and it wasn't working before I got there but she pressed all the keys like a thousand times and then the phone went crazy and typed like 300 characters and started working. It did this to me a few weeks back and then it spazzed out and started working. I am just trying to have it not work so they can see it not work. Thats all.

Hklm-hardware-devicemap-keybd modify Driver Name add any letter, This will make all button's not work.

This method will not work, the keyboard is more than a driver.

Here's some simple steps to help you out:

1. Take stock rom (dump it to the visual kitchen),
2. Modify the rom by adding or removing certain files to add or remove certain functionalities.
3. Then build the rom using the kitchen.
4. Flash moddified stock rom to phone.

Enjoy customizing your phone.
