Home double tap - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I hate the voice command app and I want to be able to change what double tap of home does, or just disable that, because I keep launching voice command accidentally. On my last phone the Motorola Flipout there was an option in settings to change what double tap of home would launch? Is the some configuration file I can edit or other process to fix this?
I apologize if this has already been talked about, I searched on my phone but I surprisingly didn't find anything

I have no idea on stock rom, but on custom firmware you can change it using JKay mod.

You will have to root your phone to be able to delete the application.

Or if you are not rooted, just upgrade to the current release of stock 2.3.6. (Settings > Software update). That removes the double tap home function.

If you like the stock rom then flash Entropy's stock rooted package. The rom is stock, deodexed and rooted. You can find it here.

Then just flash the mod on this page to remove the double tap action and the lag associated with it.

I am rooted, I guess I could just uninstall the app, I just didn't want to entirely get rid of it. I might try uninstalling then reinstalling, see if that gets rid if it

Do you have the full version of Titanium Backup? If so, you can just freeze it as well so it's not actually removed, just disabled.

I don't have the full version, I made backup and then uninstalled. I don't have voice control anymore but the double tap problem is gone so I'm happy

darkrevenge v3 had an issue (my fault prolly) with the dialertabactivity.apk having a bad manifest...that download was only up for like 10 minutes before it was fixed...but it could be thats your issue if thats what was backed up
It was how should I go about fixing it

1. Yes swype works but you have to delete your current version of swype and install the new swype beta...do this from swype's website, sorry don't have the link handy, but it is an improvement from the previous version that comes with our phone
2.you can restore apps with TiBu but do not restore system apps, and when you do a batch restore, make sure you select apps only not data...not doing that well get you fc.city!
3.I just downloaded all three and start with hl and work my way down to ll...not sure of a way to see the kernel leakage, all I can ever find is the version name, never if its hl,ml,or ll?? So I start with high and work down so its easy for me to remember

I restored "missing apps + data" but it still didn't restore everything. I had to go through manually and restore the apps I was missing. I don't even know if I restored them all now.
But anywho I tried installing my transparent themed google search bar but it just FC'd on me. So i tried reflashing gapps but now I can't re-install it. From the market it force closes too.

From all of your force close issues it sounds like you missed wiping something when you made the switch to cm7...honestly I would take the time now and odin back to stock and reinstall it shouldn't take more then 15 mins or so since you already should have all the files you need.

Thats why I think you should re flash...I've never had to install google search it's just there when I flash the rom, I always flash the gapps.zip after the rom and never actually checked to see if it was on my phone prior to flashing the gapps...did you do that?? If you did I'd try flashing the gapps.zip again

Well I reinstalled it but it looks to have messed up my back ups in titanium. Look. I'm missing apps too!

I batch restored. Once google apps was done installing everything market started restoring a bunch of apps (not all). After that was done I went to titanium and installed
Missing apps + data.
One key difference is that I ticked the option in settings for support for moving data between incompatible roms.
I was having some issues though. Turns out when I upgraded from the old to recent version of glitch kernel I unknowingly put low leak over high leak and with out the removal script. It was almost perfect except every now and then a program would crash.
I wiped data, dalvik and cache. Reinstalled the rom. Let it boot. Installed glitch. Let it boot. Installed google apps and went from there. haven't under volted but that's more about which version of the kernel I have and the battery and speed are so goods already, I'm not worried about it.
I also went through my app list and manually restored data for previously installed apps that I needed. Also eliminates problems with data you don't even need. Then sms restore to restore sms and call log.
The in call sound is still a little quiet though. Luckily my friends, colleagues and I don't use voice calls.
Only a 4 chan app force closes now but it's crappy so that's not surprising.
I hope that helps someone.

I had that. Reboot into recovery. Sounds like you need to do that through adb now. Wipe cache and dalvik. Fix permissions and reboot. Worked for me when that happened. I almost thought I couldn't reboot but I was patient and eventually thw fc tapered off to just google framework and I was able to get the power menu.

Yeah I did that. But now it's back again. It seemed to have only momentarily fixed it. I wiped again and more force closes. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with titanium backup!

I've been on fence about trying CM7. I run it on my Nook Color and like alot. But I depend on my phone for work and I'm worried about all issues I read people are having, particularly call volume. I can't afford to annoy a client with phone issues in this economy!
What is consensus - is this a dependable daily driver?

Lock screen missing phone after root

has anybody else had this issue since rooting and s-off? If so what is the fix? It was there at first, then I replaced my messages quick launch with gosms, and now my phone app is missing. It also is missing from the app list. I know this was an issue for some due to an its when the phone first launched, but have not seen anybody else talking about this issue.

[App] AOSP Browser 4.2.2 [7/22] for TW w/ Bookmark + Flash support

I saw this being requested so thought id help. Freeze or rename the tw browser with .bak. Then flash in recovery wipe cache/dalvik, and then reboot. Obviously, back up your stuff first.
Edit: You can add the browser to Multi-Window manually by going to /system/csc/feature.xml and edit the multi window settings to include com.android.browser. Listed below is how the end of mine appears, if you don't have the multi window string you can just add it before the end as I did.
<!-- Multi Window -->
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>com.android.browser<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
Flash content may not work if you don't have the latest version, you can find it here just download the latest version under 'Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives' and install
Finally someone has done it, great job man!!! Many thanks!

"finally a browser that supports flash player on the s4 with out using a third party one. Great work man I already flashed it works just fine"
On RLS6 as well, and it works great. Just selected as the default browser (didn't rename tw browser) and removed from the drawer, without issue/conflict so far. Love this option, great work!

Just a small visual glitch I found. When I click the menu button while the app is running the option for searching on the page reads as "No SIM card in phone."
Using the option runs displays the search box and it works normally.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the quick controls in Labs to be more responsive. It's as if the pixel activation width is set extremely thin. Could be due in part to our screens resolution I suppose and more pixels being in less space. Thanks for the mod, op.

Thanks, and yes you're absolutely right, sorry, I should probably have mentioned that in the OP. The reason I requested everyone rename/freeze the touchwiz browser was a precaution. If you look at the updater script it contains the following code within it:
"delete("/system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk");
unmount("/system");"
And if you look in the zip, you'll notice theres 3 system apps being pushed to /system/app
1. ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
2. BrowserProviderProxy.apk.bak
3. Browser.apk
So the renaming part is already done, if anyone wants to re-enable the tw browser to use alongside of the Aosp Browser, the only steps required are either to unfreeze the tw browser or renaming the .bak back to .apk at the end of the file.

Okay, I took off my my TPU case and was able to get the quick control menus to pop-up, but it's still very difficult for me to trigger. Is there a way to build in an "activation zone" pixel # setting, like the AOKP browser has? Thanks!!

I've lost the Quick Memo (or whatever it's called) app

Hey gang,
I'm on a rooted Tmobile variant and I just recently noticed I don't have the Quick Memo app. It seems like it's called something else now but basically the same thing. I've not done anything other than rooting. I froze some apps but I went back into Titanium Backup just to be sure anything that could even remotely have disabled the app was defrosted. I found (what appears to be) the app in the system. I installed it via the apk... Checked the permissions etc. It just doesn't seem to be workin. I know it was before I rooted it last week..... Weird... Any thoughts on this?
Anyone had the same issue?
