It adds a very simple feature I was missing: waking the phone by pressing the volume keys, just like the power button sometimes hard to catch.
It's a feature available on MIUI but not in stock Froyo roms. As far as I know, there is no simple way to enable this.
It's very light: no widget, no screen, no configuration, no service, no process running. So it won't appear in drawer or widget menu.
Just install it and it's active. No root required. Can be slow to react right after a reboot, but ok after.
It's my first application and it has been tested only on my 2.2.2 defy, so do not hesitate to write about any problem: not working, conflict with another application, etc... You can also tell if it's working of course .
It should work on other devices, but never tried.
Thanks for your feedback.
Nice! Worked for me

I'm planning to switch to MSGinger soon, I will be able to debug it and take a look at this. Maybe it's because of Gingerbread base version. I hope I will find because I will need it!

There is a change between froyo and gingerbread concerning broadcastreceiver that i'm using. I'm searching for a solution.

I am using "No lock" (BOD) from the market for this with MSG 2.1.
It is disabled the lock screen and in the same time you can wake up by pressing volume button.
I need this when I am mountainbiking (volume button are easy to catch), so I did not need the lock screen.
It a desktop widget, easy to enable/disable.
If you use your mod, is it possible to activate/desactivate the feature or it is always on ?

I dont think it will work because these keys are disabled when the screen is off.
This feature is already included in the latest stock MIUI.us release...it's under settings, system, buttons.

Hi,
do someone know if it's possible to remap the menu button on our galaxy s 2 to be the multitask button ( I mean the app switcher ) ? I searched hours on Google to see if it was possible and I found a couple way to get it to work. But I'm not sure it works for our phone because we miss some files in the key layout directory.
If you know how we could remap it and get the 3 dots on the screen, let me know !
I'd be so happy !
Have a nice day Belig :laugh:
My Suggestion
Hey Belig
I want to have that too, it's so anoying to long press the home button everytime.
But I think getting the 3 Dots on the screen is pretty ****ty, so if we could do it that when we press the menu button the "recent apps" pops up. And when we long-press the menu button we can get the normal menu. That would be the easiest and best fix for that i think.
But I'm sorry to tell you that I don't know how to do that.
And I think the problem is that nobody is interested in doing that... , as I saw this question more than once on XDA-developers.
But if someone reads it and is interested, please do that! I would be able to do a little donation to that aswell if needed!

I am also really interested in this. Would be awesome if someone could do this.
Update, this was what I found, if you check the last page, first post, it seems that this method works fine with Samsung Galaxy S2 [running cm9, at least ] .
[HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
Unfortunately, it involves decompiling and other nasty things, which would require quite a bit of effort. Would've been nice, if some ROM, had this option prebuilt. [ changing via settings].
Just a quick update/info. This has been merged in latest CM10 and is also a feature of cm9.

So, I went through the changelog of cm10 and found this :
Settings: Hardware key custom rebinding (2/2)
Description (sounds cool, can't wait for the next build ) :
Code:
Settings for rebinding the actions performed on the following key press events:
Home long-press, menu press, menu long-press, search press, search long-press,
app-switch press and app-switch long-press.
The available actions are: Nothing, open/close menu, recent apps switcher,
search assistant, voice search and in-app search.
EDIT : Sorry, hadn't seen Spiralzz's post. I was actually having this in my build cm10 itself. [ the one I flashed today ] Awesome!!! Now, I have set long-press home button to voice search, press menu button for app-switcher, and long-press menu button for search . Thinking of using, three button in-app for menu options for a while. Thanks a ton

Where can I access this in CM9? I´m on the 7 aug nightly.
I didn´t find it in settings/system.
i resume this old thread. I'm using cyanogenmod 10, so i can remap button as i want. But i would try the stock jelly bean from samsung (obviously rooted) and i I would remap the menu button for multitasking. There is now the possibility? Thanks
Hi I was wondering if someone could make a mod that would map long press home to voice search and long press task to menu, I would attempt it but I have no PC until further notice
Sorry for the bother, thanks

I've tried them mean Rom, the new viper Rom, cm10 (8/16 build) didn't like them I prefer Rejuvenated Rom, it just didn't have the remapping option

The Liquid Rom has a option that if you hold the camera button (half way). You can select Voice Search, Recorder, Google Now or any other app you may have installed that uses Mics (like WhatsApp).
This sounds amazing! Much looking forward to it
After f***** jb came onto my phone the home button now exits my app after coming from turned off screen. Hate it! I dont want to enable s-voice because it makes the home button lag... Is there any other way to restore home button behaviour to ICS?

Use the power button instead.
Another option is to disable S-Voice.

Upgrade to a newer JB build. That problem's been fixed for a few weeks, ever since LJ1 or LJ2.

I disagree. I have LJ4 and I have that problem. The only solution I found was to start using the power button instead.
I have this problem also. I am running liquidsmooth rc 7. And i have this also on other roms

Since JB update I have no lag on home button even with S-Voice double tap enabled. Also, the apps are not closing when I wake up the phone with home, only if I have s-voice disabled.

main problem is with no lock screen, this results in the phone return to the home screen when unlocked with home.
if you use a lock it will load that, then the last app, unless you press home just as the screen dims.

I have this also. As you say, with s voice double tap enabled, it doesn't happen.
With nova or apex and no program running it pulls up the screen preview. Extremly annoying.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
If you install a custom stock-based ROM with s-voice removed (an option in several ROMs with the Aroma installer), the home button issue does not occur.
I have found that it only works with s voice enabled too.I have found no other way on stock
Screen off automatically ------> before 5 seconds, press home button = app exits and shows your home. It's because your phone locks after 5 seconds after your screen automatically turns off. When it locks after 5 seconds, it will show your lock screen.
My advice for you: stop posting useless threads, post in the firmware's thread. Crying here won't solve and won't make anyone fix it.
I have lock, but I have apps which turns the screen off without locking it. When I press home button the screen is turning instantly and no screen lock. I'm very happy with the Jelly Bean update.

well that is a common problem in the leaked ones. i have that too when ever i multi task. rooting can help you.
Its because TW is kicked out if memory being a background app whilst another app is in use, if you go back to 4.1 you can use either JKay's framework or xposed app settings lock touchwiz home in memory (xposed may work on the leak I'm not 100% sure) however keep in mind this will affect multitasking a bit.
