On the G1 you could hold down the call+Menu+hangup and it would reboot.
Is there a hidden key combo for the Vibrant? Normally I either shutdown and then restart or I use Terminal and type "reboot"
Anyways if anybody knows please speak up. I reboot now and then tinkering.
been wondering the same thing!
Press and hold Power button long enough /in my case more then 10 seconds/

Hey thanks. It was kinda like 8 seconds for me, but whos counting.
I have not found one.. Although if you search the Market there is a "quickboot" app, you can make a shortcut on your homescreen and with a click of the icon it reboots.
This is the best alternate to it...
I hold down the volume buttons [up and down] while the phone is off. Boot up and wait for it.
^ he is talking about rebooting, not recovery.
Thanks for the tip kizer/gad13.. I added it to the sticky.
Yeah thanks for adding it to the sticky. I was going to follow up with another PM to you to make sure if there is a mention to who discovered it, it would go to Gad13 since well he told me. LOL
updated it, thanks guys.

Agree. This is what I do as well. Except I don't have a shortcut because I might accidentally click it.

I'm new to Android with my myTouch, but I'm no stranger to mobile "hacking" being that I own a Tytn, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, and HD2. Is there an app or registry edit that'll give me a reset button of any sort? Preferably on in the "Phone Options" menu on a power key long press.
Thanx

Nothing that I know of but there's an app called "Quick Boot" that will present you with an option to reboot but only within itself, not on the long press.
All the other Android phones I've had you could hit Alt + Shift + backspace for an instant reboot, but for some reason doesn't work on the Slide. Not sure if there's a quick key combo for a reboot.
If you're rooted, maybe using Better Cut to create a shortcut for a terminal command to reboot? I could never figure out how to use Better Cut to do that though.
vol down+power+center optical trackball with give you an instant reboot.
If you are rooted, just use better terminal emulator andtype the comand "reboot" or "reboot recovery"
good to know, thanks!

Anyone have a working screenshot app for the Photon? In particular...I am running Cybik's CM7 ROM, so obviously I am rooted and unlocked...just can't seem to find one that works with this ROM.

Search your menu app, the app called Screen Grabber.
If you have it installed you can simply leave the search button pressed and take the catch ....

It prevents you from accidentally doing things while on the phone. It's like screen unlock when you're on the phone.
Perfectly plausible situation:
Your caller asks, "may I please have Nancy's number?" and you say, "why yes, please hold while I send you the contact card via email."

Anyway The press home is known. I was just wondering if this is a bug or intentional.
why are u complaining about just having to hit the home button first? it literally takes half a second?
It gets me every time! then i say to myself DUH press home... :0p
Where did the voice search shortcut go? It would have been nice if a long press on the recent apps button brought up voice search. When I'm driving, I want to be able to "call home", or " "navigate to Best Buy". I tried to create a shortcut, but the voice search is not a app or widget, so I have no easy way to get there without multiple steps.

I noticed this too :/ I use the Dragon Go! assistant app and it has the same problem.. The quickest way to get to it is to use the google search widget. It's voice button gets you straight to it.

Yes, that's what I've been doing. Just wish there was a voice search only widget so I could put it on my home screen and not clutter it up, or a long press on the useless recent apps button.
Also, where did the Sound Hound app go? I can create a shortcut, but if I go to the apps area, it's not there! Tried to uninstall and reinstall market Sound Hound and you can't! Total garbage!

I modded mine to use the focus button on the camera (half press of the camera button). Whenever you're not in the camera app, hold it at half press, and voice actions pops up. I'm putting it into a zip right now, link to follow.
I'm sending ian in here to help u all out, he make a key remmaping the focus button to voice actions
Ok, after a long (LONG) day. I've got the zip, and I've managed to get it uploaded. This just makes the focus key (half press of the camera button), act as the search key, outside of the camera app. Hope you like it. Thank ticklemepinks appropriately for getting me to post this

There's a way to bring back the "Voice Search" shortcut. I have it on my dock right now.
Someone at AndroidCentral created a thread about it, but since I don't have that many posts right now to send you guys the link, here are the instructions:
1) Download "QuickShortcutMaker" from the Play Store.
2) Launch QuickShorcutMaster.
3) Do a search for "Voice Search" and you'll get a list of Voice Search Activities.
4) Select the one that has "RecognitionActivity" in the description.
5) Select OK.
6) The "Voice Search" shortcut should now appear on your Home screen.

Thanks for posting this, but since it's not an apk, and I don't think it's a kernel file, I don't actually know what I'm supposed to do with this zip. For the record, I tried changing the extension to apk and that didn't allow it to be installed. My evo is a stock, unrooted one at present.

You have to flash the file via custom recovery. Not something you can accomplish completely stock.

Ah, okay, I just got the phone yesterday and haven't installed any custom recovery yet. I should probably get on that. I ended up with an evo3d on 1.50, and therefore wasn't able to take advantage of such niceties. Thanks for letting me know.
You you possibly map it to a long press of the recent apps key? That would be more practical, think the half press of the camera key would happen too easily.

It does, indeed. From the Power button...
"Reboot Menu" then gives you more options for that choice.
See screenshots a few posts down...

Thanks. This one seems to work consistently.
Another one I tried from the thread worked a few times, then stopped. I had to open the app and mess with the settings for it to start working again (to show when I long pressed the power button). It worked a few more times, then stopped again. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I also have the Recovery Reboot app, so when the other one didn't work consistently at least I had that to fall back on + regular stock power menu, therefore no big deal...
But THIS one so far has worked well when I long press the power button.

NOXX Advanced Power Menu
I have the NOXX Advanced Power Menu (the non-exposed one you reference) customized with the options and settings I want. You can even put them in the order you want. See attached screenshots...
Maybe the Xposed one you installed has even more options -- I don't know -- but just making sure others know the NOXX is very customizable.
For instance, I moved Reboot to the top as that's my most frequent choice. Others I enabled, while a couple I just left disabled.
When I get a chance, I'm actually going to recommend this one in the WTF INSTRUCTIONS.

Oh! It wouldn't let me adjust that. I stand corrected. Good to know. Thanks!
Another option, rather than install *another* app...
Most of us have Magisk? Go to Magisk, modules, then in upper right 3 ellipses selection, you get options to reboot, reboot recovery, reboot download, reboot bootloader.
As often as I need this option (not often), this suffices for me anyway.

I have tried a bunch of rebooting apps on my V30 LG-H930DS and the only one that works for me is "Easy Reboot for root users".
