Firstly you obviously haven't googled or searched the forum as you would find millions of answers....
but...
two methods:
1) (if enabled in motion settings) swype your hand across the screen
2) Press home and power at the same time.

Full screen while watching movies

Hi
Is there a way to get FULL SCREEN while watching movies. Whenever i launch movies on my tab - I still have the bottom line with TouchWiz and clock and more.. I haven't found a tweak that will let me hide that.. Would be awsome that it hides after few seconds while watching something fullscreen ?
Any fix for that? - I looked in the forum for similar questions on this issue, but didn't see it - Thats why i post it .. Sorry if it is a duplicate of another question somewhere here in the forum.. ;-)
Just wondering.. Am i the only one having this issue?

Therr are a couple of posts.
Basically, since there are no hardware buttons, android forces the taskbar to always be shown to allow access to the buttons. There are no hacks for this yet as it will also require the media player to take no taskbar into account and offer a way out of the app.
Okay.. Well i was hoping there was somekind of autohide when fullscreen, and menu could be tricked by a touch.. Hopefully we will see that..

could be tricky to dev this, what you would probably need to do is have an app you run before opening a movie that hides the bar but also places a toggle to show it again on the power button. However if you remapped the power button and the tab froze you could be stuck. Probably best just to live with it
Yeah.. I saw a feature like that on the Ipad, so if it works on Ipad, it should for sure work on Android aswell..

What he said and unfortunately we will not see an auto hide anytime soon.

[Q] Home Key Double Press / Tap

Hi,
I've got Galaxy S2 on Android 2.3.4 (Basband I9100XXKH3 Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKH3-CL479037 Build GINGERBREAD.XXKH3)
There's a problem and another niggle I have.
The problem is that when I double-tap the home key, I get the Voice Talk asking me "what would I like to do?"
I want to disable this.
It seems that sometimes this happens by accident - either because I accidentally double-tap or because the hardware/software mis-interprets a single press as two. Read about this somewhere else on the web too.
All I really want to do is for double-tap to just return me to the home screen.
The slight delay that occurs when pressing the home key I'm told is because of the double-tap feature.
I've tried a few methods I found on line but none were actually solutions.
I found an alternative launcher but it turned out that the fix was an irreversible solution, which I don't want.
Surely this should not be that hard!??
How can I disabled the voice talk or double-press on the home key?
Can anyone help or advise?
Thanks in advance,
D
You need root to remove system apps.
You can use apps such as Titanium Backup Pro to remove or freeze the app, or use a file explorer such as Root Explorer to remove. Another easy way is to flash a custom ROM with that particular "bloatware" removed. These methods all require root access.

Not sure where I saw this option once but it removed double click. Tested it and it worked then reactivated it.
Maybe Google 'galaxy s2 remove double click'.

Check either this thread on how to do the edit yourself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227479
Or use JKay's Theme + Settings app

I disable double tap home key now I can't restore it. I reinstalled firmware but it doesn't work. How can I enable it again? Voice commands works but double tap doesn't start app.
Just tried this and it worked. Yay!!!!!! No more goddamn vilingo this was driving me crazy!!
No root, no custom rom, easy.

Awsome took me a month to find this answer, went back to twlauncher and the darn thing wasnt there anymore. Now is there anyway i can give the double tap a different behaviour? without rooting the device otherwise away goes my warranty.

[Q] help needed

hi,
i've been using the s3 for six month now and finally got all things the way i want (omega v34 rom with perseus kernel and jkay deluxe framework). except for two things i can't seem to find anywhere:
1. lock back and menu buttons option in the quick panel settings. every time i play something or giving the phone to someone else the back\menu button is accidentally triggered causing a "kill app" operation (long press back button to kill app mod is enabled). annoying!
2. in the contacts screen there is an option to scroll a-->z, i have contacts written in other languages and want to rearrange the scroll order and include letters that are in my language (hebrew).
are the two things i wrote already exist, and if not, from whom should i request it?
p.s i know the #2 issue is possible to solve in galaxy s2 with decompiling some apk's- if anybody knows a good guide for s3 it would be great too..
tnx in advance to the repliers!
you can request the first one in the JKay thread in original development. It's a nice idea
Or if you watching a video on YouTube and you can lock the keys with the lock button so that if i give it to my friend and back button is pressed accidentally so it won't kill our take you out of the video.

pattern unlock emergency button

Any way to remove the emergency call button? I'm on a galaxy note 2.
Almost everytime I take my phone out I hit that button which opens the keypad. I just want to unlock my phone.
Even if it's just moved from the bottom, but I'd prefer it gone.
I have searched btw. I'm asking in the correct section so please close this tab if you don't wish to help.
Can't believe no one else has this trouble
yeah sure
remove it out of the layout from framework res apk and its gone

[Q] Omega ROM v24 - can't access the lateral ribbon anymore

Dear experts and users,
I flashed the Omegarom v24 on my i9100. (the best rom in my opinion and I need mhl support).
I used to have access to the applications thanks to the lateral ribbon on the left of the home screen.
I don't know why but it disappeared.
Can anyone tell me how to reactivate it?
Thanks and regards,
X.
1. First: You can't start a threat for ask that. You should post in omega threat.
2. If you refer to multi window quick start it is an option in omega settings to enable "back to kill" button. If this option is enable then the multi window access by holding the back button is disabled. Disable this option.

Hi,
My apologies for using a wrong thread: I can not post on the omega thread because of my lack of seniority.
I am referring to the ribbon on the left of the following picture :
omega-roms.net\/Photos\/xda\/I9100-03.png
I've lost this ribbon.
I tried what you mentionned but it makes no difference.
Thanks and regards,
X.

Sorry for delay in answer. Yes, that i was talking about.
In Omega settings > Kill apps button > check disable, then reboot.
After reboot, you can make appear that ribbon by holding pressed "back button""
All the best!
