Is there a way to change the double tap home from voice talk to voice command?(or any other). It seems like the option to change it isn't available in this build?
If you're running Cyanogen, you can change what each button does. I'm not sure if you can if you're on the StockRom though.
I'm on cognition now.
Hey I just uploaded a mod for Cog X2 that will remove the lag granted it does kill the option to open the voice command app with the double press, I'm not sure if it will work on stock though.

OR... this is only in theory... you can go in to the system/app and rename the voice command apk to bak... and rename your app that you wanna use to same name that voice command is.
I WAS going to try that, but then I decided to flash my SGS2 to Cyanogen

1) Everything can wake up except menu button.
2) Camera button is now activated by a 3 second press
3) Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> Untick Default Input Settings
Hope this helped =)
My camera button wont open up cam app. Hold for 10 sec now

For the annoying language bar, you can opt for a better option. Use swiftkey or Smart keyboard and it will replaced the language bar with text prediction box. A lot more useful.
For me the most annoying thing is the blue theme that has got even worse and still can't be changed!!!
Other than that I'm pretty happy with the update. I might not say that in a few weeks once I've tried everything but for now I'm happy.

I've gone with anysoftkeyboard which is free and doesnt put anything on your screen.
In the 1.6 version of gmail - you could press shift+s and then select the text you wanted to copy into the clipboard.
Now that 2.1 has been released pressing shift+s just makes a cursor appear, which is fine if the x10 mini/pro had a trackball but it doesn't.
Does anyone know how to copy and paste in 2.1 gmail?
EDIT (2010,11,10) - Found Solution:
If you press and hold the shift button while selecting your text on the screen it copies to the clipboard just fine
(obviously this is only a solution if you have a mini pro)

one annoyance would be that I have to use Roadsync for Microsoft Exchange?
does anyone know how to use/install default Android 2.1 email client for exchange?
is it possible with anysoftkeboard to have an on-screen keyboard with multikeys (I mean [abc] [def] [ghi] ...)? because a whole screen keyboard in portrait mode is too small, that's why I have a minipro!

I'm not sure what you mean.. But in the gmail app you can copy text from any message (either a received, a draft or already sent) with the method that was described.
Again, i know this doesn't really help you in any way because you don't have a keyboard :-(

I now have native exchange support on my X10 mini pro.
I used root explorer to move /system/app/SemcEmailSmall.apk to my sdcard
then copied the email.apk from the link above into /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r--r--
so far so good. Doesn't look like there is an option for calendar sync but at least exchange mail works.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew a secret as to changing the double tap function of the home button? It starts the voice activation program but I want it to open the inbuilt task switcher (yes I know you press and hold the home button to do this, but it takes slightly too long).
Noone?
Anyone?
No takers?

I'd also like to know.
I want to solve it too
From what I could remember, there is an app called QuickDesk which creates another layer for your widgets and shortcuts. Believe it also has an option to display the running apps.
Since Samsung has registered the double click home button shortcut, not sure if you could overwrite it with this app.
Quick Desk Pro
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdeskpro&feature=search_result
Quick Desk Beta - not sure what's the difference
https://market.android.com/details?id=sg.ruqqq.quickdesk&feature=search_result
Come one guys. A lot of us need to change that function. The voice program is no use to me.
It won't be possible to change it , unless you guys ask Cyanmod to implement it at root level.
I am sure they might be able to change the way how the hardware buttons react to certain softwares
CyanogenMod nightlies don't have voice control set on double press, so you can use the above mentioned third party apps.
Bump! I'd also like to know this tip if possible

Thanks, and I already tried the app and I honestly don't know how to use it. I clicked the search button option and then the default was to search. I restarted and nothing changed, can you help me?
Install KeynrTracker.apk from the url I posted. (there are attached files at the bottom.)
Run and see if your search button hardware is working.
If button isn't functioning as it suppose to do, you know what to do
...another flashing job...
Or assign new button for search button.
like select 248 (camcoder)
pop-up comes on, set
action - search
state - none
Restart and you got new search button that uses camcoder button.

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.

That's not entirely correct. Their rom allows you to choose the action for long press back and long press recent.

Take this file and place it in /system/usr/keylayout/You can do this two ways...
1. You can take a file explorer with root access and place the file in that directory and reboot.
2.Goto where you have sdk installed /platform-tools and hold press the shift key and select open command window here
- plug phone in usb make sure the drivers are installed and the phone is recognized via adb devices( if you see a serial# you phone is recognized)
-type:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push "drag n drop the file you downloaded into the cmd window" /system/usr/keylayout

Ok then sorry i misunderstood what he was asking!
you can easily remap the half-press camera (focus) button to search. Cam still works, but half press does g-search.
in usr/keylayout/8960.kl
change "FOCUS" to "SEARCH"
save and reboot - done.
Your best quick and easy option, is to just install Nova Launcher from the market, then go under Nova Settings --> Gestures and Buttons --> Long-Press Menu --> select whatever you want to open when you do this. I know that this setting stuck even when I was using another launcher (Apex Launcher), so perhaps it will stick when using Rosie Launcher (stock launcher) as well. Otherwise, you can stick with Nova as it works pretty well
Otherwise, a different option is that it can also be assigned in the custom tweaks if you flash the Viper4G rom
Hope one of these options help,
