Howdy all!
Has anyone noticed that the "Double Tap Home" button resets itself? I changed mine to be the dialer, and after a few days it resets to Voice Dial.
I'm curious if anyone has run into it and possibly solved this problem.
Are you running a custom ROM or Motorola firmware?

I had the same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010892
although I never got anywhere. After a while I think it stuck. I have no idea what caused it to revert back...

That could be the reason. Have you tried custom ROMS instead? If you need help with the boot loader unlocking, rooting process, let me know because I can help.

I haven't ventured into the realm of custom ROMs yet. Definitely an area that I want to get into (I was an avid blackberry beta tester before I jumped ship).
Can you answer a few questions perhaps?
1. Will flashing a new ROM cause me to lose all my user data?
2. What ROM do you recommend? I actually like the look of the stock .91 ROM, and I use ADW Launcher. I'm not really into the CG7 look with everything being bluish. I guess with ROMs, I just don't have a good enough understanding.
For the first question, yes you will lose stock data. But if you have gmail, contacts, paid apps, and calendar will be saved. But its totally worth it. The rom I recommend right now is the ALIEN ROM. Which is a nice one. If you want to to start, let me know and I will give you a guide that helped me.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I am already rooted and unlocked.
I thought what you were going to provide was the latest ALIEN rom link and screenshots (as well as the way to apply the rom - fastboot, cwm, etc.)

Double-tap home got too annoying for me.
I ended up freezing the default voice command feature in TiBu, and don't have to worry about it anymore...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537
Here is the alien ROM LINK
Sorry for the late response.
Ok! Well, all that was easier than I thought. This is amazingly fast. So far I haven't found any glitches, everything works the same for me. I've rebooted several times and the home button hasn't reset, so thats a good sign.
One thing I did notice is that I now only have one APN listed, and I think before I had several.
I didn't install the bloatware, but BLUR seems to work fine.
One thing I will say is that installing 200 apps by hand from the market SUCKED. I used a Titanium Backup and then used the market link from there.
Also thought that I should mention that this did *NOT* fix my "double tap" home button issue.
After some amount of time the home button defaults to voice commands, which is useless to me. Taking another suggestion above and freezing the app with TiBackupPro.
Oh well. Maybe Beta #4 will fix the issue.

So looks pretty much what the company uses to make sure the phone is working properly.
The Retail Diagnostics is used in Sprint's Slate test. It is used to test the primary functions of the phone and make sure PRL and profile are up to date. Fortunately it is pretty harmless at this time. There would be no point in it checking for root because Sprint M&P does not care whether you are rooted or not.
Sweet! Will check it out.
thanks a lot!

You call this an apk. Well I don't know what it is but its not an apk like I'm used too. I opened the zip looking for the apk to install it on my phone and never found it. I tried to install by flashing thru recovery and that never worked. I guess I'm a real noob but how do you install it?

Superclean3 or Geewiz if you want to stay close to stock gingerbread.
But I'd recommend ics aokp glitched m5. Its pretty much the best that the fascinate can run and ever has run.

Already did And updated the gapps to 429 and used the latest build35. Build 35 has pink unicorn which so far has great performance. No big diff from milestone5 so far. Still no screen capture option, but im looking into it. Gonna test the GPS later on. That was still causing me some issues
Should be able to go into rom control, power menu, and add screenshot option to the power menu there.

Music player isn't included as most people have a specific preference, so it's bring your own. YouTube you can get easily enough from the market. Besides that's gapps and not rom related.

Gotcha Anywho still having connectivity issues with GPS? the icon is suppose to be flashing when searching for a signal inside the circle, but its not. I have everything enabled. So im unsure whats going on at this point :/
Go through the maps shortcut forbl navigation. Occasionally you may have to launch it a few times before it seeks a GPS signal. For the first lock try to do it outdoors and be patient. First lock may take a long time.

Well I left it plugged in for a few hours yesterday and it did start blinking in the signal icon at the top, but it didnt start the GPS at all. I left it on the charge so it wouldnt die and still nothing. I'll keep trying though

Not sure if many of you guys are aware of the Google Now search option but it is something similar to Siri. I have this running on Viper 4G and its working pretty well. Also I'm not to sure how often that thread gets updated so I posted the link to the Member that uploaded the flashable zip file.

40 Cool Voice Searches
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHkhp6BwnGo
Hit the thanks button if you like!
Indeed, I feel like Now is something I actually will use as when Siri came out I was like "meh". I have a Nexus 7 and I instinctively ask questions to it instead of searching by text like I normally do. The first time I did this shocked me because I never thought I would be using voice search in this streamlined fashion (not to mention how quick it is).
I know they added a pseudo-voice search for that app now and it's okay but the real thing is awesome. If you can afford to do a nandorid backup and flashing the CM10 build that can be found in the IRC channel -- do it. Just to see how fluid and fast the voice search is. Not to mention how life-like the voice is
EDIT: FORGET WHAT I SAID. Voice search is now working 100% now! Check out the video I made (if you can stand my foreign accent) of the Nexus 7 and our Evo performing side by side:
IT isnt "something similar to siri"....... it runs circles around it !
I've been using it for the last couple of days and it's pretty cool. I have my GPS/location icon hidden in Viper 4G but by looking at the battery usage on my phone, I have a feeling it may be using GPS more often than I'd like. I may have to unhide the icon and watch it. When I had GPS off, it started giving me weather for somewhere in California when I asked how the weather was :laugh:
does any one known if this hack will work with the meanroom?
Im sure it will.. Just do a backup just in case.
You should just flash CM10 problem solved

I used the APKs previously and have now flashed the new Zip that was recently provided. Working for a couple of weeks now, flawlessly, on xHausx's deodexed ROM, which includes the latest OTA fixes, etc.

I'm not DB13, but you can find the download for CM10 in IRC. It's pretty close to daily driver status for most folks, but I was having a couple of small problems that I couldn't overlook and didn't have the time to figure them out. It's certainly worth the time to flash and play around with.

Voice with the crazy workaround, right? Not native voice input.
Any ways, I was using this for a few days on the stock ROM. I ran into problem with performance and crashing issues afterwards, so I took GoogleNow back off.
It probably would work better on a non-stock/non-SenseUI ROM, but it caused issues for me!

I'm running this on the Viper4G ROM also. I was able to just flash the zip from recovery and it has been working fine. I've been able to do searches, it's been alerting me for baseball scores and giving me navigation updates when I get off of work. HTH

Same here. Voice prompts and response is great. Only issue is general web search response shows a blank card until you swipe up/down and the results then pop in. Small issue but the voice interaction is top-notched!

do nightlies seem to get issues resolved on a quicker basis? not that I have had any yet with the 4.3's I have run so far. actually pretty impressed so far.
Depending on your style of life (and view of marriage) it's more like being married but waking up with a different sister every morning. Problems may be resolved faster on nightlys (or not truthfully) but new ones are likely to arrive just as quickly. Plus we
are warned not to send in bug reports because being nightlys they are supposed to have bugs. I never completely understood that because we seem to be an ideal audience from which to get feedback. But those seem
to be the rules.

really, waking up with a different sister? are you from the south?
you would think nightlies should be more stable. sounds like its a yes but no? which makes it a personal preference and what are you willing to tolerate or sacrifice? pretty much like everything else.
it makes things more sporting anyway. after a month on the most solid ROM my phone has ever been on, I was getting bored.
I just keep following the forums, trying different nightlys, and wait for that gem that comes along and everything works like a dream. Those gems are few and far between sometimes, but usually worth the wait. And so far, 10.2 is off to a good start!
