I find the slide to answer the phone very inconvenient. I would like to be able to answer the phone either by pressing a soft (on screen) button or even a hard button. I have tried a number of market packages that offer an answer button, but they do not activate until a number of rings have passed. Anybody have any suggestions?
This behavior probably varies between roms, so maybe you can find one with an option for what you want.

I have not found a ROM with that option yet. If anyone knows of one I would appreciate your help.

It's not a bad idea. You could post a feature request somewhere for it, I guess. Maybe make a poll, see if there is interest?

Any comments? i tried keeping my finger pressed on the icons but that opens the apps up...help! i am trying to remove some icons from the screens
thanks
People please, 22 posts and no replies? I am certain some of you must have updated the firmware and found this bug. I tried searching for çustomization' and other words I could think of but could not find the correct threads on this. Please help, I cannot find any way to edit the screens (not even in settings).
Thanks a lot in advance for your inputs, really appreciate
I think HTC changed the delay when moving or removing widgets or shortcuts from Home pages.
Just needs a more accurate and slightly longer press and hold before it triggers the move.
I must admit, its not as easy as it was.
Just make sure you press the icons for long enough. I find it sometimes takes as long as 10 second for the remove option to come up. And also, its seems slightly tempremental sometimes. If it doesnt work after 10 seconds, try again.
Hold the icon only after the screen/scene is static
People
It just opens the app up after 2 seconds, no matter how long i keep pressing it. I have tried multiple ways....has anyone reported this to HTC? any easier way around this? This is pissing me off!

I don't have the problem, it works just fine for me. I suggest you try doing a hard reset or something, sounds like something hasn't installed right on your system.
Have you tried long presses on other apps, like messages? Just to see if it recognises long presses at all...
Silly question...
Your not trying this in the applications list are you ?
You are trying this on the Home screens ??
Just want to clear that up
Yes I am trying on the homescreen, I even have tried changing the scenes to try it for the icons....does not work And yes I have tried it on all icons, apparently all the big icons (HTC ones) seem to work much better (though not always) whereas shotcuts to applications seem to be the worst. On a total average 98 out of 100 times the shortcuts open the application no matter how i try it....emailed HTC and they told me the same story of what is written in the manual even though I explained i already did that.....have emailed them again to see if they take it more seriously
anyone else have a solution?

I can only suggest that you either return the phone (if possible), or at least try rolling back the firmware to see if this fixes your issue.
As it stands, it looks like you are the only person in this community suffering from this, so it makes it very unlikely it is a "generic" firmware issue, and more likely that it has something to do with your physical device.

Well, my HD2's end call button has finally given out on me. I can still get it to work if I push down on it VERY hard...
Anyway, I was hoping someone could help me replace it with an on-screen shortcut or widget for Android and Windows please. I just want to be able to get to the power off reboot menu...
Any help is much appreciated.
Any ideas? I tried to make a shortcut to my homescreen using anycut (in android) but couldnt figure it out. Is there anyone that has had a end call hard button that stopped working for them?

When you are in a call on the droid os there is a softkey on the screen saying 'end call', just use it....simple beyond belief <----- DISREGARD THIS
Sorry about that, I see what your saying now, hmmm...check out the marketplace to see if you can find anything, I know there are a couple of apps there and if your lucky then you can get one free.

Yeah Ive looked, mabey not hard enough, and I cant seem to figure out how to create the shortcut either...Thanks for the advice, Ill keep looking through the market for anything....
Have a read through the Themes & Apps HD2 section on here. I recall a few End Button programs - but have never had the need to try them out.
I want to disable the search button but I don't know how. I have searched for a while and can't find any info. Anyone have any idea. I always hit that stupid thing when I'm texting while laying down and it's annoying. Gotta disable that thing or at least disable it while I'm texting. That would actually be the better route so I can still use the feature because I do actually use it. I just hate how I always hit it and I have to keep closing out of it. Will donate if someone could help me with this.
Thanks.
Hmmmm....I don't know if this device has located the file were we could modify the function of each button yet. I definitely want to know if that could be done without utilizing an app.
Look in /system/usr/keylayout, now there are two files shooter-keypad.kl and qwerty.kl look for key 217 and remove delete the text "search" from both of them, and add CAMERA just like that and you could have camera instead of search, but if you don't want that just leave it blank, let me know if it works for sure, its been awhile and my 3d isn't rooted yet.

Anytime, I remembered it from when I modified that to help Flipz fix the menu unlock issue, good times on the Hero forums.
I have posted this in a few different forums, but no one seems to know the answer. Various people are/have tried looking, but I thought I’d try xda also and see if any developers etc. know my answer.
I’m running the stock firmware, with CleanRom 4.3 ICS and the patch to sync it with the stock firmware. I love the new ICS “recent apps” or multi tasker or whatever it’s called. I really want to use it more, and I’m slightly jealous of my brothers Nexus that has a dedicated button for this. Currently I have to “hold” the home button to get this to pull up.
I use the “search” button on my Rezound about once a month, if that. Therefore, here is what I want to do. I want to switch the search button to “multi-task”. I want to switch “long-press” search to regular search, and I want to switch long-press home to voice search.
I found that you can use root explorer and go to /system/usr/keylayout. If you open atmel-touchscreen.kl and change KEY 217 SEARCH to KEY 217 APP_SWITCH and reboot it gets me in the right direction. However, this opens the old GingerBread “Recent Apps” box. So my question is this. Does anyone know where the “long-press” soft keys are set? If I can find where they are set, I can see what long-press home is set to, switch that to search, etc. etc. and get it set the way I want. I’ve searched through most of /system/usr, as well as other places and haven’t had much luck. In my mind, it seems like long-press has to be their somewhere since every other key is in that area.
If anyone can give any suggestions or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
So with 134 views and no responses, I'm thinking no one in the Rezound area is sure of an answer. Can I repost this in just the general android section without getting in trouble? I figure its probably pretty similar on all android OS, and maybe someone else knows the answer?

Hey I don't know if this is a rom/firmware issue or just an issue with the phone itself. I looked around on the internet, but wasn't able to find anything. I can't even hold the phone to my face (hurts my ears) when it is on the lowest volume, and everybody can hear my conversations haha.
also side note I tried to install the back button menu hack and it removed all the the numbers on my pin lock screen. At first it was annoying, but now I kind of like it. Sadly the numbers came back. I know this isn't the right thread, but wasn't sure if somebody might know how to how to get my blank lock screen back. It was super secure and people thought I was some crazy tech master.

Do you have HAC enabled in your call settings? if so disable that and see if it helps.
