I primarily use the X9 as a KODI media-player. The remote however, is "out of the box" not suited for my wishes. I needed no change that. First I needed to figure out the scan-codes for the remote. They can be found in \system\usr\keylayout\Vendor_3697_Product_0001.kl. Secondly I needed to find out how Kodi interprets them. I used the Keymap Editor add-on. I also tested the remote on a Newsmy NU-3001 Car DVD player which, to my surprise, read ALL the IR-codes, including the ones the Zidoo don't map. The NU-3001 has a nifty little program called "KeyEditor" which gave me the results: This is the comparison table: Code: Name Scancode Keycode KODI-IR NU3001-IR 1 2 1 61489 196609 2 3 2 61490 196610 3 4 3 61491 196611 4 5 4 61492 196612 5 6 5 61493 196613 6 7 6 61494 196614 7 8 7 61495 196615 8 9 8 61496 196616 9 10 9 61497 196617 0 11 0 61488 196608 OK 28 ENTER 61453 196621 Home 102 HOME N/A 196634 Up 103 DPAD_UP 61568 196619 PageUp 104 PAGE_UP 61572 196638 Left 105 DPAD_LEFT 61570 196624 Right 106 DPAD_RIGHT 61571 196625 Down 108 DPAD_DOWN 61569 196622 PageDown 109 PAGE_DOWN 61573 196639 Mute 113 VOLUME_MUTE N/A 196675 VolDown 114 VOLUME_DOWN 61485 196636 VolUp 115 VOLUME_UP 61483 196629 Power(red) 116 POWER N/A 196685 Menu 139 MENU 61656 196677 Return 158 BACK 61448 196674 16:9 372 ASPECT_RATIO N/A 196699 TV 377 TV N/A 196627 Display 431 DISPLAY_MODE N/A 196676 Mouse N/A N/A N/A 196691 Unfortunately not all buttons can be used by Kodi, but with the creation of a remote.xml which must be placed in \sdcard\Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files\.kodi\userdata\keymaps\remote.xml , you can assign some numeric (or other) buttons to do a task. This suits my needs. Feel free to make your own. remote.xml: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <keymap> <!-- --> <global> <keyboard> <key id="61488">ActivateWindow(Home)</key> <!-- 0 --> <key id="61572">pageup</key> <!-- PAGEUP --> <key id="61573">pagedown</key> <!-- PAGEDOWN --> <key id="61489">playpause</key> <!-- 1 --> <key id="61490">stop</key> <!-- 2 --> <key id="61491">Info</key> <!-- 3 --> </keyboard> </global> <fullscreenvideo> <keyboard> <key id="61656">ActivateWindow(subtitlesearch)</key> <!-- MENU --> <key id="61572">ZoomIn</key> <!-- PAGEUP --> <key id="61573">ZoomOut</key> <!-- PAGEDOWN --> <key id="61448">FullScreen</key> <!-- BACK --> </keyboard> </fullscreenvideo> </keymap> Anyway, knowing the remote seems to be working on other Android devices and Apps and IR-codes can be fully used (NU-3001), I'm waiting for remote configuration tools/enhancements from the Zidoo developers: For instance, it is possible to haven the "HOME" button work in android AND in Kodi. See the Extra Tip on http://www.minixforum.com/threads/remap-keys-for-xbmc.2868/. Unfortunately I can't change the Generic.kcm atm Another possibility is to add support for other remote protocols like the RC6 (MCE remotes). According to dmesg several IR-protocols are initialized. Code: 0.850188] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 253 0.854634] IR NEC protocol handler initialized 0.857762] IR RC5(x) protocol handler initialized 0.861069] IR RC6 protocol handler initialized 0.864196] IR JVC protocol handler initialized 0.867317] IR Sony protocol handler initialized 0.870503] IR RC5 (streamzap) protocol handler initialized 0.874347] IR MCE Keyboard/mouse protocol handler initialized 0.878371] IR LIRC bridge handler initialized It probably needs the appropriate layout in \system\usr\keylayout\
In case anyone else needs to make /system writable This makes it writable mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/mstar_mci.0/by-name/system /system This puts it back to RO mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/mstar_mci.0/by-name/system /system
