Hi everyone
I just changed the screen of my hd2 but when I put the cover the volume button doesn't work.. I can push it with a sharp object (screwdriver, toothpick) so in fact it's not broken but it's a bit boring tu up and down the volume..
I'm on android (ICS) and I want to know if there are any alternative "tweaks" to replace the "real" button ? Like on iPhone when your home button is broken you can download a tweak via cydia..
If someone can help me, it will be great
Thaaanks !
PS : Sorry for my english..
no one know ?
There are widgets and apps that you can use to change volume within Android, but if your device uses the volume buttons for CWM then you'll need the physical buttons working.
Well you should be able to go to your settings and volume options and adjust it that way, alternatively clicking on the clock on the bottom right corner should bring up a menu that volume is normally located.
@spunker88 Yes for cwm I use the physical buttons.. What's the names of the apps and widgets ?
@Bernie Nolan Thanks dude
But the main problem is when I'm doing a phone call I can't up/down the volume..
I use Volume widget, you can select which volume you want to adjust (music, ringer, etc) or have a widget with multiple volume toggles. Its pretty nice and free. During a call you would have to go back to the home screen to change volume.

Thank you I just downloaded an app on the market

hello...
is there any way to lock all the keys.....but still be able to recieve calls (and txts etc)?
The reason i ask is beacuse i want to be able to listen to mp3s while the xda is in my pocket.....
thanks
jay
On phone app, choose Tools->Options->More
Hardware button Lock
'Lock all buttons except Power'
Sorry, misunderstood.
You want to lock it whilst it is powered on. Don't know how.
On PocketDiVX and PocketMVP, you can map the hardware buttons. So if you map both hardware buttons and all directions on the rocker keypad to something which doesn't interfere with MP3 playing (such as 'increase brightness'), you're all set.
I would keep one (maybe a rocker direction?) mapped to toggling the screen on and off to save batteries though.
sorry for souding stupid but...
WHAT???? LOL :lol:
i have no idea what you said.....sorry, i have only had my xda 1 day and i dont even know how to use msn messenger yet
lol.....if u could explain in dumb terms...i would be greatful
jay
well windows have smart key settings like if you
hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key the active problem close
and if you hold down CTRL + ALT and hit DELETE it reboot if it's win9X and give you the taskmanager if it's NT/2k/XP
some you can set yourself to do what ever action you want it to
well it's the the same thing with your XDA when you are running a program you can change what the buttons on your device does
so when you are listening to mp3 then you set the keys actions to something which does not interfear with your music playing, you can prob set these up in the program you use to listen to music with
and in the end a7GH add that it would prob be a good idea to set on off the buttons action to turning off the display to save juice
was wondering if there was a reg edit to change how much the volume increases/decreases on one press of the volume buttons... i think it changes three bars on one press of either button, any way of making it one bar per press of the buttons... three is too much, for me anyway...
cheers
Just press one of the volume buttons so that the volume dialog comes up and then use the screen to change the level. You can go up and down 1 bar at a time, rather than 3.
You can have up to 16 levels (instead of 6) with Volumex

Plus other great volume related features.
This apk is a slight mod on jerryfan2000's Button Saviour app (similar to softkeys). . . the only difference I made on his app is that the ever-present overlay icon (that you press to bring up the soft keys) is invisible.
So if you learn where it is on the screen, just touch there to bring up the keys--and you won't have to have an always-present arrow overlay sitting on your screen. It gives you the option to set it to launch on a long-press, in case you find yourself accidentally launching it.
If you have trouble finding it the first time (after all, it is invisible), just switch to the Sense theme, then back to default...
If you have trouble finding it on a regular basis ( harder than you might think) and your LCD density is set to 250 like mine, here's a setting that will make it easier:
1. Set it to come up on the right side (default)
2. Set "icon position" to 0
... This will give you an easy landmark to help you find the invisible launcher icon: the bottom of the volume down button on your nook. Look for that, then touch the edge of the screen next to it to launch button saviour.
If anyone has found useful landmarks for screens with LCD densities other than 250, please post and I'll update.
If you want to check this out, you'll have to uninstall Button Saviour (if you already have it) for it to successfully install.
If the button menu looks tiny, you might want to get the Spare Parts app and check the box for Compatibility Mode (then reboot). This should increase the size.
If you like it, please thank jerryfan2000 (his thread here), as the app is his creation--my contribution in making this mod was an idea and two blank png images.
Is this file the same one as the site in your sig? I'm assuming thats your site b/c it has all of the info from your thread over in General.
But so you know if you change the Theme to Sense you can get the position of the button without having to play with the numbers.
Also on 0 it wasn't on the bottom of the Volume Down button. I'm gonna guess this is b/c your LCD density is 250 and mine is default but just FYI.

Good point on the LCD density - I'll edit.
Yeah, same file as the one on the site.
I am using this now after switching many times. The visible button on Button Savior drove me nuts. The Softkeys button could be made transparent but it kept floating around so I never knew exactly where it was. But I got this one finally to my liking. I left it in the center on the right side. Easy to find in landscape mode because it is next to the hard home button. For portrait mode I put a very tiny piece of black tape next to the edge of the screen. This allows me to feel exactly where the button is. Works perfectly for me now. Thanks.
*settings are at 260 for the slider, LCD Density is set to 204. I used the Sense Theme of Button Saviour Mod to get the numbers to visually line up with the hard home button in landscape mode and to apply the black tape in portrait mode.
Would it be possible to somehow map the hard home button to the "invisible" app to make the menu appear?
I love Button Savior 5, but it would be great if it appears when the hard home key is pressed. Even better if I could set it to bottom center of the screen in portrait!

I don't think u can map Button Savior that way. You can mount Softkeys that way. Leave the Invisible button Savior installed. Also install Softkeys. Set Softkeys as your home launcher. In the Softkeys settings set the home launcher of your choice and set Softkeys to one home tap and your home launcher to double tap. You will also probabily want to "kill" the Soft keys floating button if u are running Button Savior along with it.
The only problem I can think of with that configuration is that when u hit the Button Savior Home button all u will be doing is opening up the Softkeys buttons unless u double tap it. U may want to set the Softkeys button to a double tap and your chosen launcher to a single tap to avoid that redundancy.
How to set trigger button to bottom center of the screen
Can I set the trigger at the bottom center not on left nor right side?
Thanks a lot!
Hi
How can I configure the Volume Buttons, so that the next song is played when i press one of them longer?

Bump. Was going to post the same question.
I miss the blackberry style song change features with just your volume button. Turning the phone on, going through the security password, than hitting next on the screen is just a mission sometimes when your phones in your pocket and want a quick change.
Anyone script anything or have an app that manages to do just this?
This is hard to do..
But you ca try it with this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
That would change some remaps in my opinion, but, I dont think it gives an option to press vs holding down a button. Pressing it to change the volume and holding it to change the song is where it's at.

Oh,..
For this you have to write a new module/kernel for that .. and thats hard
I couldnt do that, but i think other guys here could do that
I really hope someone can. lol I wish I was into that field of line, (ability to create things).
Has anyone tried this remote?https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00U3PFUAC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A34OAPZOHWTNSP
Does the mic work with Google now? Does the home button take you to launcher home? Can you turn your TV off and change volume,? Cheers

I've tried a few remotes with a few android boxes I've had and this one is the best I've found. I bought the one called 'Aerb' but you'll see a number of resellers on ebay selling the exact same device. It runs on 2 AAA batteries.
What I really really like is that the four coloured buttons on the bottom AND the big red power button on the
top left are learning/programmable IR blasting, so you can program them to turn your TV on/off, change inputs, increase TV volume etc. using your TV remote. The other buttons are not programmable.

This is the best remote by far I have purchased for this box. I am far away from my player right now but I will try and confirm if the mic works with it asap...

Does the home button bring you to the home screen ? And by programming the bottom color buttons to change the volume or do the actual volume buttons work? Also its to bad the buttons don't light up . Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic . Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?

- yes

- you program the coloured buttons on the bottom using your TV remote, so they will turn the volume on your TV up and down, NOT the vol on the android software.
Also its too bad the buttons don't light up.
- no they do not.
Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic .
- *** I cannot seem to get my mic working with voice search. The remote I have purchased has a microphone, but has NO microphone button to enable the mic. There are reports of users who have got their mic working. See here for a picture of a remote with a mic button (the blue one in the bottom right corner) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=203623
Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?
- you do NOT have to point the remote at the dongle. It does not work with line of sight like IR remotes. The distance limit is about 15 metres I'd guess. Farther with better batteries
Using the stock ROM, the following keys work:
home button
play/ pause and FF RW buttons
context menu
OK and d-pad button
keyboard letters
Using stock ROM the following keys DO NOT work for me:
soft volume up/down
mute
microphone doesn't work
BACK key doesn't work (this sucks, it registers as a 'right mouse click' under stock rom - doesn't do anything, must use home key instead. it also doesn't work under lollirock either. Luckily under lollirock the soft 'recent apps, home and back' buttons are always visible, so I just use that soft back arrow on the screen.
all of the 'alt keys' on the keyboard - ie the function keys, ! mark etc. These all work fine under lollirock.
I also have a generic android box running full android 5.1 and almost all of the keys on this remote work fully with it, including the hard back key.
Let me know if you've got any other questions!
