Remapping keys for WebOS and Nitdroid games
 
I've googled this but i can't find clear answer..
Is there anyway to remap the keys used in webos and nitdroid games? I bought game gripper and would love to see it work on those games :)
CMIIW, From what i heard this is not possible in android phones because droid can't be rooted yet, but it should be possible for nitdroid right?

I think if you can't find the answer through google then possibly there isn't any clearer answer than what you've found. Not sure if anyone actually know how to remapping the keys on WebOS games. Even the pioneer Preenv creator is yet to say anything.

Are there even any webos games that use keys? Probably not the easiest way to go about it, but you might be able to change the preenv source to look for one key and emit another.

@maxximuscool : well i tried some apk editor such as "apk manager" but i can't find the file used to change the button config, i hope someone could assist me with this..

@jflatt : Yea, i just think it's better playing games with the keyboard, and game gripper is perfect for this, so far it's only possible on emulators.. while the good games are in nitdroid and webos :(

Anyone?
What about webos games?
Is it absolutely impossible to assign HW keyboard?

Well but to get source code i have to unpack the .apk files and find the config file, i have yet to find that file.
As for webos games, they should be easier to find since somebody already made the .deb version right?

I doubt you can get the source code simply by unpakking the apk file :P

Yea that's what i thought :p
Even with APK manager it's impossible?
Android games uses keyboard, zenonia can use d-pad button..
So there should be a config file somewhere..

Not if the keys are hardcoded into the compiled program, then it dosent use a config file for keymappings.
