Is there anyway I can ADD an application to the recent app list (the one you get when you hold the home button)?
I dont want to assign the button to just a single app but to more than one...
I want it in a way that I get the app i want (in the top left corner) and also get the list of recent apps?
I am on Galaxy ace CM7 <grif_07>

Nope , it's only possible to put it into the recents list by launching the app .

Well, thats a bummer. I wanted to add an app manager in that list.
Anywho, thanks for the info.

But you could find an app that groups apps you want together and bind the app to the long press of home button. The setting is in cyanogenmod settings.

yah, thats what I am doing right now,
But it'd be better to have recent apps + an app manager on the list.

Reminded me about that feature. Tried it in B3 and it didn't work. Works now in Behrad's CM7. Long press menu still doesn't work right now though.

you mean what grif compiled for 2.3.7?
Long press menu is actually a brand thing. Didn't have this function with some other android phones.

You can try QuickDesk on the market.

Theres also wave launcher on the market too. QuickDesk is free however eats into RAM makes the phone a little laggy but its awesome.

Not sure why this was deleted last time as users were already discussing this topic. I'd like to know which moderator deleted it and why.
I think it'd be nice for devs to build into their rom a long press of a hardware button to launch the camera app.
If this thread should be in the APP/Themes section, a mod should MOVE it there not delete it entirely. Retarded.
So is this long press of a hardware button (i suggest one of the volume keys) possible to link to launching an app specifically the camera?
i was wondering where it went myself .ah well i like this idea and would use it if it became available.if its even possible
Look for an application on the market that lets your configure the long press on search softkey.
It'll let you load any application by long pressing the search key.
Thank you, works great.

I could be wrong, but i don't think the mods owe you any explanation. If you knew where you went wrong, why ask the question?
Anyways, back on topic, this would be an awesome mod on stock froyo, one I'd like to incorporate into my rom
OOORRRR.... You could long press your "seach key." To my knowledge the long press comes unassigned to anything. If you press it, it will give you an option of which app to use for it.
Search for the camera and VOILA! Again.
Personally, I have it set to QuickDesk.
Is it possible to change the way the home button acts? I dislike the way when you hit the home button it puts the current app into a background process. Could we change it so like an iPhone the home button fully closes an app when pressed?

On my old gt540 i found an app that did this. Unfourtunately ive forgotten the name. Try searching the market.

Excuse me, but I believe the iPhone puts the process to background too.
Right now im using the cynogenmod 7 KANG's version, when you go to the USB settings there is a option to fully close an app by holding the back button. You can also customize the home/menu button using that rom.

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.

I've done a bunch of searching but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a way to remap the recent apps button to be a menu button? And long press for recent apps? I am stock, s-off, rooted, if that matters. Thanks!
Settings, display gestures buttons, recent apps. You can change it there

It is a recent apps button, not a menu button.
Op, mist roms allow you to change it, but you can't on stock.

Just get a new launcher from Market.
Its easier (and more safe) than mucking around with the stock one.
I know Holo Launcher Pro (HD as widgets, also my all-time favorite launcher for some reason) has the ability to rename drawer tabs, and load either most recent, most frequent, widgets, and custom list in them.
I am sure that there are other launchers that do the same.
If you want to change anything in the stock launcher, you must have root privleges.
Use at your own risk. Havent ever modded a launcher before, only other apps.
Copy the apk to another location (and make a backup if anything goes wrong).
Change the extension to .zip
Explore the zip, and modify anything that looks safe to change.
If you are brave enough, rename the extension to .apk again, and place it back in the "system/app" directory.
Reboot the phone if nessisary.
Use at your own risk.
Please thank me if you found this useful.

Many roms now support this feature and there is also a mod that when you flash it, it will enable this feature.

Hello guys,
One disadvantage to the Health app LG included is that you need to have the smart bulletin running on your homescreen to use it. Well not anymore!!
What I did was make an app that will launch the LG Health app. I used Tasker and just exported a simple app to do this! I will share it here for everyone that wants to use the LG Health app but does not want to have the smart bulletin enabled. So far for me it is working fine.
Just download and install the app and to open you just open your app drawer. If you wish to uninstall, mine is version 1.0, which would be an easy distinguishing factor in the app manager, also mine is a smaller sized app than the actual health app.
Just thought I would share because I am sure some people are limited here and would like this setup. Any questions let me know I will be glad to help!
Any of the shortcut making apps on the play store can do this. I did it that way. Many launchers will, too.
Thanks for the effort, though.

Any way to do this in Themer?
I've found you can long hold the desktop and go to advanced/shortcuts, but I don't see Activities in there.

I understand that, but some people may not, and this also adds it to their app drawer which is a small convenience.
Just throwing it out there as an option.
On Nova launcher, I just have it set as a nova activities widget. Works great. Icon is what it looks like as a shortcut with the circle case.
Just go to widgets, add the activities widget (might require nova prime), and choose LG health. Done.

install apex launcher but make themer your default launcher. this will give you an activities shortcut. there you will find LGhealth.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. This won't put it in my App Drawer though will it? Using themer, I hate putting shortcuts on the screens, it is too perty.
I'm trying to get Themer to make this possible, they don't understand right now.
Hi everyone,
You can also download the Any Cut app from the Play market to achieve this. At least that's how I did it.
Open the App ---> go to activities and select LG Health from the list.
The only drawback for some could be that it doesn't get the shortcut to the app drawer. But that may no be an issue for everyone.
Hope it helps
