Guide: Remapping Keys for the Motorola RAZR v3re

Why is this useful? Well, maybe you don't often access the internet on your phone, so you want the web key to do something else, like Sounds or Settings. Or maybe you never use the voice dial option, so you want that button to do something more useful. Maybe there are other keys that you would like to change.

This guide will show you how to make those changes.

Part 1: The “Web” key and the “Messages” key.
(special thanks to MotoCat from www.mmus.com for postings regarding this mod.)

Programs needed:

P2kTools
XVI32

The “Web” and “Message” keys are located below the two soft keys:

53611

This mod requires changing the seem 0313_0001 (for the “web” key) and/or the seem 0314_0001 (for the “messages” key.) Make sure you've followed the “Get Connected” guide: http://modmymoto.com/wiki/index.php/Razr_v3_get_connected Also, make sure you have the most recent P2k drivers and the most recent P2kTools (I'm currently using P2kTools 3.0.8.864)

Let's change the “Web” key. (Seem 0313_0001)

First, open up P2kTools and connect your phone. Select the “Seem editor.” Change the “Seem” field to read “0313”, and click “Load from phone.”

53621

Now click “Save to file.” I recommend saving it to two locations so that you have a backup. Next, open one of the saved seems in XVI32. It should look like this:

53631

Notice in the right section, it says “ B r o w s e r yyyyyyyy” (with the little dots above the y characters.)

Pay careful attention to the format. The phone is very picky about how this string of characters is put in. I will describe what is required in detail. First there is one space. Then there is the word (in this case “Browser”) with spaces in between each letter. Then there are two spaces. The remaining characters are the “y” symbol with the dots above it.

They “y” symbols don't appear to be necessary. They can be replaced by spaces. But make sure the spacing I mentioned and the overall length remains the same. 24 values. If there are multiple words, only put one space in between each word (for example “ V i d e o C a m e r a ”.)

A note concerning spaces: The hex value (shown in the left section of the screen) for the spaces must be “00” Typing in a space on the right screen section will put in the value “20” which should then be changed. To change it, on the left screen section just click on the square with the hex value “20” and type “00.”

53641

As long as you have it in the format I described, your changes should work fine. But let me reiterate: It must be in this format to work. If you accidentally altered the overall length, P2kTools won't save it to the phone. If your spacing is incorrect or if there are any other errors, pressing the key won't do anything at all. So make sure you have the correct format. But don't be too scared. A mistake in the formatting won't brick your phone.

So what should you change it to? Well, Anything you want from “ I M “ to “ C a l c u l a t o r “

Here is a list of things I've tried that work. I'm sure there are many others that work that I haven't yet tried.

Bluetooth
Browser
Message
Camera
Pictures
Sounds
Video Camera
Video
Calculator
Settings
Phone Book (for your Contacts or Address Book, or whatever)
Tools
Personalize
Games

More that work (Thanks, Modnmotos :))

SIMApp (For SIM Applications)
Shortcuts
Alarm Clock
Connection
IM
InCallSetup (For In-Call Setup)
Intl Setup (For Initial Setup)
Phone Status
Headset
Car Setting (For Car Settings)
Network
Security
Recent Call (For Recent Calls)
Theme (For Themes/My Stuff)

Here are some I couldn't get to work:

Dialed Calls (or "Dialed" or "Calls")
Received Calls(or "Received" or "Calls") I really want this one, so if anybody figures it out, let me know.
Ring Styles (or “Ring Style” or “Ring”)
Calendar (pretty much any form of the word won't work. Still trying.)
Java Settings

53651

After you're done changing values, save the file. Open up P2kTools. Make sure the “Seem” field reads “0313”. Click “Load from File” and select the seem that you edited inXVI32. Then click “Save to phone” Finally, restart your phone with P2kTools, and enjoy the changes!

To change the message key, follow the steps above for the seem 0314_0001.


Guarantee and Disclaimer: I have used all of the methods and modifications listed above, and my guarantee is that they work on my phone exactly how I described. It is my belief that the above modifications will work on any Motorola RAZR v3re, but I cannot guarantee that they will work on all phones, even phones of the previously mentioned model. I cannot take any responsibility for any damage caused by phone modification, even if it is by my instruction. Modify your phone at your own risk. Please make sure to back up your phone and do careful research before making any modifications.

I would love some feedback. Please click the thank you button if you have found this guide to be useful. If you have made any additional discoveries or if you have any questions or corrections, PM me or post a reply to this thread.

Part 2: Other keys (the 005B_0001 seem)
(Special thanks to yaz00us, who posted a similar guide on this topic for the v3x)

Programs needed:
The seem editor of your choice (I use P2kTools.)

Now, I'll have to warn you, you can't do as much with the other buttons on your phone as you can with the Browser and Message keys, but there are still some useful options.

The seems for the keypad are located in the 005B_0001 seem. Below is a table that shows the hex offset of each button and it's value. To change the value of a key, go to its offset and change it to the value of another key. For example, if you would like the “Voice Dial” button to do the same thing as the “Messages” button, go to offset 16 and change the value to 43.

On my phone, I changed the camera button to be an off button so I can reject calls with the flip closed (rather than just silencing the call.) I also changed my “Voice Dial” key to access the camera.

If you're paranoid about other people using your phone, you could reorder the number pad :)

I've tested all hex values from 00 to 7F (yes, I know I'm only half way.) I've posted the notable values I found. Take it all with a grain of salt, though. Some that may have not seemed to do anything may actually do something in a context that I haven't tested. It would take forever to go through every hex value and test it with every possible phone application, but I've done my best to find useful results. And yes, when I get bored I'll try from 7F – FF.

Other values:

________Unsure___________10__________(Doesn't do anything obvious and sets
______________________________________the label for the right soft key to blank. Messes up SMS functions, at least.
______________________________________Sometimes acts like right soft key.)
________Ring Volume Up____16__________Interestingly, when pushed at top volume
______________________________________it goes to silent and up from there (different from regular controls.)

________Send message to:__1B__________Basically, if you have a number
______________________________________typed in, it will open a message menu to send to that number
________Instant Shutdown__3E
________Clear?___________ 40__________The only effect I've noticed is if you've
______________________________________typed in a number to call and you hit this key, it will send you back to the
______________________________________home screen

Duplicate values:

________Right arrow_______0C
________Left arrow________0D
________Ring Volume Up____19__________Regular volume up
________Ring Volume Down_ 1A__________Regular volume down
________Voice Dial________ 21

I have tried C a l e n d a r for the webkey as described and couldnt get it to work.

Danation
11-15-2008, 01:32 PM
Unfortunately, it looks like you're right. " C a l e n d a r " doesn't work.

I've also tried "Dates" or "Date" and neither of those will work. This is rather odd, because all of the other Tools work except one ("Calculator" "Shortcuts" "WebAccess" and "Alarms" work, but "Dialing Services" is too long.) I'll keep looking for other things to type in (maybe "Month" or something?) and I'll post if I can find out how to make it work.

Update: Anybody have any ideas? I've tried all I can think of. "Calendar" "Month" "Cal" "Dates" "Date" "calendar" "calender" (hey, you never know) "CALENDAR" "date" "dates". Any ideas would be great.

Tried more: Clndr, Cldr, Clnr, Cndr. Still no luck

Ill keep trying calendar as well as others, we will see what works and what doesnt. Well tried more here is what I found.
Did not try anything "Web related" such as media net, web shortcuts, IrDA Link.....
Did not try anything "dial" such as such as barred dial, fix dial, service dial.....

(no= did not work) (yes= did work)

SIM Applications-yes(drop (lications) will be -SIMApp)
Shortcuts-yes
Alarm Clock-yes

Hey, thanks for the added information. :) I'm very happy to see so many worked.

I'll keep trying to think of things to try for the Calendar (I tried a few other ones like "Alert" and "Alerts" with no success.)

Initial Setup is really stumping me got any sug?
Ive tried:
Ini Set
Initial xxxxxxxx(every version of setup I could think of)

Danation
11-17-2008, 11:23 PM
I'm at work, but I'll check when I get a minute

Alright, I figured it out :) (after trying a bazillion different things.)

It's "IntlSetup"

modnmotos
11-17-2008, 11:34 PM
Wow how long did that take? I know I sure tried for a while. Now if we can crack the other ones you can update the main list in your first post put them all together.

Danation
11-17-2008, 11:43 PM
It took a half hour or so, so not too bad, lol.

Calendar is still giving me trouble. I've tried condensed versions of it, as well as other things. My latest tries were "Event" and "Events." Still no luck...

modnmotos
11-18-2008, 12:27 AM
THIS IS MY MOST RECENT FINDINGS:

Danation can you edit your post and put all the ones that work together, and list below those which ones we still need to work on?
Did not try anything "Web related" such as media net, web shortcuts, IrDA Link.....
Did not try anything "dial" such as such as barred dial, fix dial, service dial.....

(no= did not work) (yes= did work)

SIM Applications-yes(drop (lications) will be -SIMApp)
Shortcuts-yes
Alarm Clock-yes
Connection-yes
In-Call Setup-yes(drop the (-)will be -InCallSetup)
Initial Setup-yes (drop (iia)will be -IntlSetup)(Danation figured this one out because I couldnt hang and gave up)
Phone Status-yes
Headset-yes
Car Settings-yes(drop the last (s)"setting")
Network-yes
Security-yes
Java Settings-no
Address Book/Contacts/Phone Book(what ever its called)-yes (will be-Phone Book)
Recent Calls-yes (drop the last (s)"call")
IM-yes
Themes/My Stuff(what ever its called the folder with pics,sounds,vids in it)-yes(drop the last(s)"Theme")

Some folder names may be altered on the phone. What ever your folder is called that stores phone numbers will be phone book in the seem. Same for the folder that stores the pic folder, sounds folder....It will be Theme in the seem. There might be some others like this also.

k, I updated my original post. Hm.... the only ones I can think of right now that we need to work on are Calendar and Received/Dialed Calls. I don't use the internet, either, so I'm not sure about those.

modnmotos
11-19-2008, 01:01 AM
Dialed Calls allready has a 'shortcut' so you dont really need to remap it to the messkey or webkey. For "Dialed calls" all you have to do is hit the green call button while on your home screen (looking at wall paper when you first flip phone open)

Danation
11-19-2008, 01:02 AM
Yeah, I'm mostly interested in the Received Calls. I just figured if we found one, we'd find the other.

modnmotos
11-19-2008, 01:13 AM
Gotcha
Tried Recvd Call, Recvd Calls, Rec Call, Rec Calls, Recieved Cal

also month, months, year, week, adgenda, date book

Dumba
11-19-2008, 03:40 PM
I don't even know what I am talking about, but how about: incoming, or incoming call, or just calls?

Danation
11-19-2008, 07:18 PM
Good suggestions. I just gave them a try, though, and still no luck, unfortunately.

I tried "Call" "Calls" "Incoming" "IncomingCall."

Hello All

I tried Bluetooth - works great :)

I just added it to the guides.

I know I'm coming late to the discussion, but "DateBk" seems to be a common abbreviation/internal reference on PDAs and phones regardless of their OS. Have no idea if it will work and still too crippled to do anything with my phone, but since you still seem to be looking I thought I'd offer it (instead of waiting to test it for myself and claiming all the glory if it worked).

Has "schedule" or just stupid thinking, a spelling mistake like Kallendar or Callender or Kallender, been tried?

Danation
01-19-2009, 04:50 PM
I tried DateBk, and numerous misspellings, but none worked :(

Thanks for the ideas, guys!

Maybe try to use names of functions from list in MMA Advanced Editor v0.6 (Available mma items) ??? Like "MMRingStyle" ??
