[Q] How do you disable haptic feedback when holding HOME key? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on StreakDroid 1.9 and it's driving me nuts, I can't find it!
You know when you hold the HOME key to bring up most recent apps? I'm trying to configure mine to sip as less juice as possible.

'Settings > sound > haptic feedback' to disable completely.

That doesn't disable the holding HOME button vibration. I would like to know how to do this as well.

Thanks but for some weird reason, that doesn't disable haptic feedback when you long press the HOME key?

Actually it does in some way..
If you hold the Home button for ~ 1 - 1.5s it wouldn't vibrate, but if you hold it longer than say 1.5s it would vibrate ( found it very annoying too), both will give you the recent app menu.
My fix is to use Prehome (from market, set Prehome to default launcher and set your preferred launcher in prehome), instead of holding Home button, you can double tap it to bring up the recent menu

Thanks, that's a decent workaround.

How do I get that stupid D-Pad in Softkeys to dissappear?

Really annoying! Any ideas?
What I have mine set like,
Under softkeys settings:
Softkeys Service >
- Run Service - Unchecked
- Run at Boot - Unchecked
Virtual Home Button >
- Normal/Long Press - Launcher Pro (Or whatever Launcher you prefer)
Physical Home Button >
- Set Single Tap to Softkeys, Double to Launcher
Other settings are tailored to Taste/Preference.
What this will do is disable the Popper button (which I hated) but allow you to see the Softkeys menu whenever you tap the N button, and straight to your homescreen with a double tap. This will disable the DPad thing along with it.
Long press the popper

Hi,
I've tried to do this but now my N button does not perform any action. I used home switcher to make soft keys my default launcher, but the N button is not working at all. It does, however, wake up the NC from sleep, but once the NC is on, the N button stops working. Can you help me with this?
Im on a simple rooted NC (using BN 1.1) with autonooter and I have Zeam and Softkeys installed.

Waking up the Atrix with the Volume Button?

When I first got it, the volume button would wake up the phone. A few days later it stopped doing it. Maybe I changed some settings but I've been looking thru them all and can't find it.
Was this a bug? I know most people need apps to be able to do that from what I read.
It was so much nicer than pressing the power button. *sigh*
I like waking up the phone with the volume buttons as well. I use a program known as widgetsoid 2.x, you can download it from the market, that lets you unlock the screen - meaning that you can wake the phone with the power button or volume rockers and won't need to slide to unlock it either.
WidgetLocker allows you to wake up the screen, and thus unlock the phone, from the volume keys as well.
DK
So you can't do it without an app?
Must have been just a tease. lol
I was hoping there was something simple in the settings somewhere.
Download No Lock, it allows you to use the volume rocker + power button to wake up the phone and gets rid of the lock screen for those of us that don't like it.
I use NoLock as well. Occasional Opera Mobile errors when waking the phone up, but overall NoLock works well...
Thanks, tried no lock. Works pretty well. Few times it still locked but I can live with that.
Thanks, No Lock was much better than widget locker that i've been using. The slider in widget locker is so slow/laggy.
You can also download "lock screen" to be able to lock screen by touching an icon instead of the horrible power button.

Atrix Wake Up On Volume Down Button
If you are using a custom ROM with cyanogen mod go on settings-cyanogen settings- input- and tick volume rocker wave.
this will allow you to wake your Atrix without using the annoying power button.
If this helps please press thanks.

[Q] VEGAn-TAB 7.1.0 Lockscreen Issue

Hello,
I’m a new G-Tab owner who just installed VEGAn-TAB 7.1.0 for bootloader 1.1.
Everything is perfect except for the extremely sad issue that whenever i press the powerkey to lock the tablet, my machine seems to go into a deep sleep…and then reboots with the lockscreen.
Cache clearing has not helped.
Please, how do i fix this?
Thank you

See if this helps:
Go into Settings > VEGAn-TAB settings > Input and, at the bottom, check (enable) "Volume rocker wake".
Then run the Spare Parts app and set the "End button behaviour" to "Go to sleep".
Also, don't overclock the tablet.
After this, put the gTab to sleep using the power button, but wake it up using the volume keys.

This worked awesome...thank you very very much!
Instead of doing the volume rokr wake setting, this is simply fixed by running the Spare Parts app and set the "End button behaviour" to "Home, then Sleep" option.

homekey delay

Hi
Every time i press the home key there is one sec delay
And only then it gets to home screen
Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks.
Load up s voice and go into settings and disable it from launching on double click home button.
What's happening on your phone is that when you push the home button s voice is waiting to see if it's gonna be a double click on the home button. That's why there is a slight delay in response time.
When that option is disabled you get a faster response.

Honestly Ive always had this problem but it never really bugged me too much until I finally decided to read your comment and disable it and my God the difference is amazing haha thanks!
Goto settings/developer options and turn off both window and transition animation scale and should start even faster.

Reassigning button functions

The Truesmart buttons on the side seem to only have one function (on/off for top, back for bottom) but is there a way to reassign a function to these buttons? Like long press for settings or volume or home screen?
The reason I ask is, if I'm using music or Maps I have to hit the back button four or five times to get back to the home screen to do something else, like adjust volume. This also undoes anything that's going on in the app I'm "backing" out of. Anyone have a solution?

All In One Gestures (app) is your answer - install from Play Store.
Allows you to configure swipes (and volume bar) .
