[CLOSED][Q] Hold Back button to kill? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Does anyone know how I can implement "Hold Back button to Kill" into Stock ROM? Is it a flashable zip or will I have to edit the Framework?

On stock ROM, holding menu button opens the keyboard.

I am still wondering if there is any tweak or MOD? I am on stock ROM and I always used this tweak and I really need it. Thanks

Screenshot with stock 4.0.4

Hi there,
I try do capture the screen of my SGS2 with ICS 4.0.4, I9100XWPT firmware, non-rooted. The usual key combination POWER-Volume down isn't working. It seems the 4.0.4 firmware version removed the ability to make a screen capture.
Q: How do I make a screen shot with the 4.0.4 stock versions ?

On my ICS 4.0.3 it's a combination of Power + Home button. See if that helps.
Thank you for the answer, but no, that won't work. I've tried every possible key combination, without success. It seems that Samsung removed the screenshot functionality from the 4.0.4 firmware

the combination for GS2 is : Power + home button .. but unlike gingerbread , the timing is a little different in ICS , i mean u must press both buttons on the same time

Sorry, I tried everything, Power + Vol Down too. It won't work for me and it worked for all previous versions including 4.0.3 and 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I suspect the current 4.0.4 version removed the screenshot functionality...
Correction, okay, it's back to Power-Home, not Vol Down anymore and the timing has changed as well...the Power-Vol combination was much easier to handle.
Thanks for your time...

I have the s2 running stock 4.0.4, I can take screen shots. Simultaneously press power+home key and hold a bit over a second. It has nothing to do with volume keys.

It's different than in GB but it works like you said: press both buttons at same time. The timing when pressing both buttons is important, I had to try several times to get a screenshot... I thing I have to practice my motor capabilities... hahaha

what i meant was that the navigation keys dont correspond to the built in hardware keys, meaning the back nav key is on top of search button, menu nav key on top of back button, recent nav key on top of menu button, only the home key is on top of home button... any solution ?

[Mod] Long Menu Press to Kill and 4 Way Reboot

As the title suggests this is just a simple mod that gives you long press menu to kill and 4 way reboot. I'm personally running deodexed so no clue if it will work on stock odexed. Credits to blulite for the 4 way reboot and BigDogPooh for the menu to kill, all I did was combine the two for are phone.
Deodex download: http://goo.gl/29TV5

Sounds to me like you we using it from the launcher and that's the way it's suppose to work. Would be pretty silly to kill your launcher.

+1 for creating an Odexed version
Not sure why you guys insist on odex versions of everything. Just flash a deodex build and be done with it.

This. Don't feel like reflashing my entire ROM just to get a simple reboot menu
So instead of simply downloading the ROM and taking the 2 minutes it takes to flash, you'd rather take more time and go around to every thread and ask for odex versions of everything? That makes no sense at all.
