As you may know, all ICS stock based roms for Samgung Galaxy 2 have one common and very unpleasant feature - a home button delay. This delay is noticeable every time you press home button to exit an application, return back from settings to dashboard or if you want to return to your home screen. As a result you may have a feeling that your phone response after clicking a home button is delayed app. 1s and it will degrade overall phone responsivness.
For demonstration of a problem see this video.
Finally the fix is here and you may enjoy it on your Galaxy S2 with the newest miuiandroid 2.8.17 rom with integrated 3-way Reboot options from kong. It is not tested on another miui releases, but probably could work.
Installation:
Just install the zip in cwm recovery and you are good to go.
If you enjoy my work you may consider a small donation to support my further development.
Note: This will NOT fix lockscreen lag, it is present because your cpu is in powersaving mode and takes some time to utilize again.
Please do not copy this patch to another hosts, always use a link to this forum instead.
I'm not responsible for any problems or data corruption you may have using this patch. For your safety always backup your rom before doing any modifications.
I'm keen to try this but scared it messes something up Any lab rats willing to test it first?

Did you patch it correctly in cwm recovery? This is the problem, see video here
If you apply it correctly it will remove this delay completely and if you press home button the phone reacts immediately. Check if you have 3 way reboot option. If not a patch has not been applied...

Faulty? It should be ok, maybe it is kernel problem. What kernel do you use? I use syiah and no problems. Does the updater throws any error during flash?
Edit: I have double checked and reverted back changes and apply this fix again and it works just fine.

Ah, then it's clear Back buton is not affected because phone doesn't wait for second click. I'm use home button pretty often ant it was very anoying for me
Edit: a question came into my mind - let's say you have on third or fourth tab in MIUI Launcher, how do you return back to home tab ??? For me the only way is to press the home button and here you can clearly see the difference.

I know it won't work for back button, but I did try using the home button to see. Perhaps it is faster, but I just can't see it. It's probably because I use the back button so often.
I don't use MIUILauncher, so I can't help you out with your question but I do know you mean Thanks for this mod, though. I'll keep it on

If you have the patch applied there is no difference in speed between back and home button - and that's it! Now if you would flash unmodified rom you would see the difference between these two buttons very quickly
what is the process to remove this patch because I applied it and now my phone will not turn on passed the samsung logo?

hi there, i found a method on the web about taking screenshots.it was saying only works for galaxy s with android 2.2 but i tried it and succeeded on my galaxy ace with villain rom.
as i said, no app or root is needed.
like i said i tried it with villain rom.and it worked as a charm.who have kpe or 2.2 please post if it works or not!
Method :
in the screen you want to take screenshot ( homescreens, menu's, or game screens, etc ) press and hold the back button in the riht corner.while holding it, press menu key once.and a notification will say the screenshot is taken.that is all.
your screenshots will be saved automatically in a folder screenshots.
the most awesome is no need for any app or root!
i cant post the proofs because i havent 8 posts yet
holding right button (touch) and clicking the middle button works for me on both ace and g3...

Because not always does the method work, when the app you are taking screenshot of might return back to previous screen while pressing the Back button. Also other screenshot methods let you capture just by shaking the phone, so no key presses required and helps in better timing.

works on stock 2.3.3, great... but one problem though, when we want to capture a certain screen and press the back button to capture, it goes back to the previous screen... I guess its only for capturing homescreens then
Back plus home key, works for me.

It's easy, but I'm not sure if I like it. I like using the volume buttons to zoom in and out. I was able to make long pressing the power button take pictures, but it also pops up the extended power menu lol. Hopefully I can figure out how to get a short power button press to take pictures instead of turning off the screen. It's a lot trickier on this phone than it was on the original galaxy s and infuse.

I've been using the volume up mod that I found from the i9100 forums for about a week. Used it quite a bit on my visit to Alcatraz over the weekend. It has tap to take direct picture or hold to focus and release to take a picture.The digital zoom is useless to me as all it does is just blow up a cropped imaged anyways. I'll attach it in case anyone wants to try (and as always, back up the old Camera.apk). Just push/copy to system/app

Yeah, was more worried about zooming with the volume buttons while recording 720p video. It would be a pain to record everything in 1080 and then run it through video editing software to do the zooming.
Guess I could do the volume button hack for photos only and leave it as zoom control for video recording.

I didn't think about the video recording part. BUT! I just gave it whirl and surprisingly enough, the volume keys don't start the recording and still function as zoom buttons. So it looks like the video recording part is untouched.

I've got the zip file downloaded but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Stock is running real well for me and really haven't seen a feature that is a must have in a custom rom yet. Shoot, with Entropy's DD and stock rom, my phone is still blazing. Just to test things out, I've gotten a 5034 on quadrant so things are working awesome.
If this were my X10, I would be a flash whore because that thing needs optimization just like a crack head needs his next hit.

cm7 power button ends call in galaxy ace
I switched over to cm7 on my galaxy ace a week ago. Its very frustrating that the power button ends the call, i always disabled the proximity sensor in stock firmware and kinda used to that.
everytime i try to turn the screen off in a call, it actually ends the call. There is no option in accessibility settings to prevent power button from ending the call (screenshots attached)
I also downloaded an app phone settings manager and that too has no effect.
please help!
Same as here. Using CM7 from vo-1. I think that I'll switch to the one provided by FAT. Can someone confirm if it has that option in Accessibility?
This is what I have. Apart being in portugese, of course.
you can download "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
this is what I did.
so when someone calls. press the home button to go to your home screen then click the shortcut you have or if not go to your app drawer and press it to turn off your screen.
I'm using go launcher so I set the application to be activated when I glide down my finger in my home screen.

I don't think that I'll need this anymore. Yesterday I was using the phone when I needed to hang-up the call, and it was right in front of me, so I didn't needed to power-on screen, unlock it and then hang-up. I just hit the power-button and done!
Also, I think that I can live with the screen-delay to power-off.

You must already be on a ROM with this MOD in it, this does not add the Wake-on-vol MOD to the ROM, it just makes it work in deep-sleep now.
thanks to Nitsuj17 -- it now survives reboot.
just flash this in recovery:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26383143/HTC Incredible 4G/ViperLTE_2.1.1-volumewake.zip
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to do this on every reboot as haven't found a way to get it to stick yet.
using something like root explorer
go to sys/keyboard/vol_wakeup
open using text editor
change the 0 to 1
save changes and exit, it'll say something about a back-up being made, but there isn't but that's ok. just open it again and make sure it's now 1, and you are good until you reboot the phone.
Once reboot, just re-do steps 1-5.

Feel free to use this MOD without permission.
Please give credit though..

really?
that's what I'm using it's working for me..
try setting all permissions
I rebooted, locked phone, waited 2 mins, and wake-on-vol didn't work.
then did what's in the OP, waited 5 mins, and wake-on-vol worked for me.
I'll experiment further with it, but under this I assumed it worked.
I can't get it to work even messing with permissions or rebooting and retrying to set it, oh well.

once you change it, that's it, it works until you reboot the phone.

user error
haha j/k
I'm not too sure man, I just re-flashed completely stock and tried again tested a bunch of times, reboot, wake on vol doesn't work, do what's in the OP, I've now tested up to 10 mins and wake on vol still works.
ill keep posting longer updates, this could just be a fluke but I'll keep reporting.
update: it's been charging now for 30 minutes, came back and used vol keys, will report back again more once fully charged and let it sit for an hour or so.
I'm glad you said user error cause that prompted me to take a look at the actual mod and thats what it was an ignorant user error I had neglected to check it in viper tweaks it now works properly....oops.

You have to do this on every reboot as haven't found a way to get it to stick yet.
You must already be on a ROM with this MOD in it, this does not add the Wake-on-vol MOD to the ROM, it just makes it work in deep-sleep now.
using something like root explorer
go to sys/keyboard/vol_wakeup
open using text editor
change the 0 to 1
save changes and exit, it'll say something about a back-up being made, but there isn't but that's ok. just open it again and make sure it's now 1, and you are good until you reboot the phone.
Once reboot, just re-do steps 1-5.

i see you noted but might want to make more clear
the mod will reset after rebooting your phone

this is great. I went back to viper 1 for this, so now i can return to the newest. Thanks guys!
I applied this last night and everything worked fine. This morning when I tried it, it didn't work from deep sleep. Just to confirm, I'm on viper 2.0 and the only option to wake with volume is to use the volume up button. This option was fine yesterday but today didn't always work.

it works.
sometimes u may have to manually check to make sure it is applied. today at one point it didnt work, and i checked and it was at 0, and i changed it to 1 and it's fine. The init.d script for the most part i think 9/10 times will change it automatically.
and in Viper2.0 and up only the VOL UP key wakes the device..
this is because of the new tweak for down key to turn the device off.
even if you are not using the vol down to turn phone off tweak, only VOL UP will wake it.
I can fix this for u if you want to make both keys wake device.

i'd prefer both keys (vol up, and vol down) to wake if it's easy to do.
Thanks

I'd prefer a mod to allow up and down wake if you have time. I'd really appreciate it. And I'm guessing what you're saying that's happening is my problem. The script probably didn't have it changed to 1. It's not that big of a deal to me, if it works 95% of the time I'm cool with that.
