    lgexalter1 Thanks for replying. How do I go about doing that? adb or from within the phone?
    This is what [Login to see the link] wrote on Github
    I replaced key 138 FAVORITE_CONTACTS with key 138 FOCUS which disables the built-in function of the * key. (You can also change QUICK_DIAL in mtk-kpd.kl but I wouldn't touch the volume/power key!) Now that it does nothing we can assign it a function with an accessibility app.

      techy do you think it's because I may not have disabled dm verity?
      And if yes, is the only way to disable it to reflash, and lose all my stuff?

        davidrozhs I enabled usb debugging by typing ##33284##
        Then I ran:
        adb shell settings put global development_settings_enabled 1

        I dont have the phone in front of me right now so I dont know which setting I changed in the Admin settings

        After that I ran:
        adb shell pm suspend --user 0 org.chromium.chrome

          lgexalter1 Tried ES and FX. they have root, and it still wont work.

            lgexalter1 Tried that, and changed it to FOCUS and it said that it saved successfully. But nothing changed, meaning, the star key still opens favorites. So, I went back to matrix-keypad.kl and it was blank. I tried the whole thing again (I had a copy of matrix) and it didn't work.... (Yes, I remounted it as read only)

            Thanks for helping out here....

                lgexalter1 would you be able to send me the Matrix and mtk folders? They're both empty by me now.

                    techy I have been using MIXplorer. Before I had actual rw permission it looked like I was able to edit things but then when I went to those directories things just disappeared and reappeared on reboot. After I had full rw it worked fine. If I recall correctly it wont change the key mapping until you reboot.

                      Those will require reboot and using the mmcwrite script to modify /system
                      Unsure about files becoming empty. I do everything in adb shell and use vi included in magisks busybox.

                        Incase anyone is interested, I made an exe of a bananahackers fork of mtk-bootseq. (no prerequisites)

                        To run,

                        1. download booter.exe
                        2. Go to the directory it's located
                        3. Open CMD
                        4. Run booter {port}
                          Example: booter COM4
                          (First, plug in phone and see what port is opened (labeled mediatek preloader), then unplug, run the command for that port, and re-plug).

                        Example:
                        [Login to see the link]

                        Thats all!
