What you're holding is not an iPhone, friend.
So there is no way to change the function of the double tap on the key? Perhaps to something more useful as some probably have no use for the voice command system. Can anyone answer this? And yes I'm sure the op is aware that he or she does not hold an iPhone.
if this is a problem for you, an iphone is the better choice

maybe the iphone it is a better choice for the people who doesnt want to modify their OS and work with a fixed one instead of what their want in personal use.
long press for a ****ty multitask it is not the way to go, and with 3 keys 2 click on home is the faster way until we got a multitask like windows mobile 6.5 with taskfacade or something and a click on notification bar to use.

I whole-heartedly agree, and I actually have a hard time believing that your question was met with all those snarky comments from a forum dedicated to customizing the most customizable mobile OS on the planet.
I too would like to be able to change the default home double click behaviour. I'm sure it can be done, i just don't know how. Any ideas, people?

I'll give you a sensible response, as of yet, you can't change the double tap function on the S2. It may be customized in the future but so far you'll just have to live with the annoying voice control app.
I hope that helps
Thanks for the non-sarky response

Indeed it helps. Cheers!
I've seen an application called multitasking pro that supposedly opens with a double tap of the home button. But I guess it wouldn't work on S2 yet, huh?

I don't know, Install it and see, I doubt it will work though, I doubt it'll be able to override a stock Samsung app.

Wow, way to be an ass. Never heard of Quick Desk?
All the multitasking of the iPhone from double tap, but with the option to add widgets as well?
If that's not one upping the iPhone at it's own game then I don't know what is.
I for one know I'd rather have a multi tasking app than a voice search I'll never use.
Anyway, the closest i've found is http://android.modaco.com/content/s...odaco-com/340047/take-control-of-home-button/ but this is only working on KE2 as of the moment.
Guys, what I'd like is a long hold on the BACK button to bring up the multi-task menu, this would feel like less of an effort than the long press on HOME.
hi all, as the title tells is there a way to make it possible? a single tap, double tap or as per user choice, or touching specific area in the display to wake the screen.
the display does wakes from sleep mode when receiving mail,calls extra without touching the keys, so can the same mechanism be achieved to unlock the screen?

This thread may be a good start. It's an app that lets you re-map the double tap to launch a certain apk. If you somehow change that to the unlock command or create a very basic app that unlocks once open then it should work.

i think we have to remap the wake event sent by home button or power button to the display unit, lets ask the app dev in your link and see if we can get something fruitful
according to me its a wierd feature..that requires tap to unlock......
always sliding is better nd stylish to use...........
tapping to unlock is a ****ty idea that all nokia symbian based phones exists......
so devs doesnt focussed on this .........
try widget locker or go locker, it provides as many as better nd good screenlocks than u said to make implement by devs.......

Put it this way, how about waking the phone from sleep mode using tap instead of pressing power key or home key. Won't that be useful ?

I think if that's the case (waking the phone by just tapping and not through the power button) buddy then the phone should be awake to recognize the tap causing battery drain and prevents the phone from going to deep sleep. On the other hand unlocking the phone by double tap might just be a good idea

I wonder what happened about this? Would really be useful, no progress eh?
Does anyone know if a rom which has options "tap to wake" or "tap to unlock" as in G2 ?
You need modifications in kernel in order to do this, and I doubt it would be battery efficient enough to make it work on this phone.

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
Hello, I was wondering if is there any way to make the Menu key (The one placed at the right of the home key) to work as the musltitask key on the nexus phone, I had installed a mod that enables the menu panel on the screen as in the nexus, so my phisycal key is useless and I want to map it as the multitask key , I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, if you don't please let me know
Thanks for your time!!!

First of all, what mod did you install? I want one too. Lol.
As for your menu key, if get any root file manager and go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and examine the .kl files there. As for me, mine is located at cyttsp_key.kl. You should see something like
Code:
# KEY_MENU, KEY_BACK, KEY_HOME
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
Simply replace MENU with APP_SWITCH and you should be all set. I'm not sure if spacing is important but keep a backup of the original file first before modifying it just in case.

I don't like the galaxy-ish theme he put, I am just interested in the on-screen menu button, how does it look like? And can I flash with only the menu button on the mod? I mean I don't want the other changes, just the on-screen menu button. I've been trying to do the same thing you did for quite some time now too.

Well, Actually I dont like the background and the "Dual Pane" either, but I dont know how to mod the Framework for make only the option key-on screen, I have already asked to iiandskater for only the menu button and other tweaks instead of all the pack, I hope that he at least teach me how to modify it by myself

Is in every app I have on my phone (Tested them), Youtube, Calls, messages, quickpic, etc...
Btw, I'm editing my own framework res file only with these mods:
- On-Screen option (menu) button
- Action bar with text
- Fast Bluetooth turning On/Off
- Volume slider is moved to bottom (will make you easier to slide it with your finger)
- Notification toast is moved to top (everything's better if can be seen clearly )
So, if you want it I can share it or if you want the framework res with only the On screeen option button, just tell me

I know, but my friends and family barely know what is an android phone, so I wouldn't have any friend haha
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.
