Hello great developers. Is there a way to change the function of the menu button to launch recent apps? Like it is in the newer devices and the on screen buttons. Thanks.

Nothing, I like it the other way.

It is possible but I cann't guide you as I don't know how.Search around you might stumble upon a guide.

[REQUEST] Long Press to Launch Camera in ROM

Not sure why this was deleted last time as users were already discussing this topic. I'd like to know which moderator deleted it and why.
I think it'd be nice for devs to build into their rom a long press of a hardware button to launch the camera app.
If this thread should be in the APP/Themes section, a mod should MOVE it there not delete it entirely. Retarded.
So is this long press of a hardware button (i suggest one of the volume keys) possible to link to launching an app specifically the camera?
i was wondering where it went myself .ah well i like this idea and would use it if it became available.if its even possible
Look for an application on the market that lets your configure the long press on search softkey.
It'll let you load any application by long pressing the search key.
Thank you, works great.

Select Applications from the list, then choose Camera. It's there

I could be wrong, but i don't think the mods owe you any explanation. If you knew where you went wrong, why ask the question?
Anyways, back on topic, this would be an awesome mod on stock froyo, one I'd like to incorporate into my rom
OOORRRR.... You could long press your "seach key." To my knowledge the long press comes unassigned to anything. If you press it, it will give you an option of which app to use for it.
Search for the camera and VOILA! Again.
Personally, I have it set to QuickDesk.

Mod menu button!

Hi guys!
I new to this forum section because I'm coming from Nexus S.
I want to ask if is possible that instead of the voice command when we double click to open the search app. or recent tasks.I know that we have the recent tasks by hold the menu button pushed but with the double click is a little quicker.
Maybe it answered but I did not found it yet.
Sorry could you be more clear? i didn't understand what's your problem

I think he asks if its possible to set double tap home button as task manager. He already knows long pressing works as task manager but he wants the double click do the job

Yes something like yhis. Or the double typing could be the search button. So is this possible or not?

I havent heard
I havent heard of any rom that does this. Usually all roms ive seen and flashed..(and trust me.... ive flashed almost all of them....), have taskmanager set to long press on the home button... ill search around and see what i can find.
Im saying this because when i had Nexus S I could use the search button for the recent tasks.

Button remapper

I was wondering what is a good button remapper to use. I want to change my search button to be.my most recent apps. one of the pics rooms does this by default. Just wondering if there's an app / method to apply this to other roms

Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a way to select recent apps. Works well for other tasks. I looked into this more and it seems to involve changing the android policy jar file? Seems to be more complicated than it needs to be.

Galaxy S2 GTI-9100 Lock Key Problem

Hi all...
I have galaxy s2 & em enjoying it...
But from some days the "lockscreen" button started facing some problem.
It doesn't work until it is press harder & harder.
Please tell me IS THERE ANY APP THATS REDUCES THE USE OF LOCKSCREEN BUTTON?
NOTE: I didn't use it much because I have lockscreen software to lock screen and I use my home button to unlock/wakeup my phone.

Judging from the above problem, I can say that there seems to be a hardware issue. There is no app that reduces the effort involved in pushing the lock screen button. It is a long shot but then there may be a possibility that the software you use to lock it without pushing the lock button is the culprit. I may be wrong.
cheers.

You can easily go in to the settings of android and tell the phone not to have a lock screen
It's a hardware problem. Try disassemble your SGS II and see if there's something that causes this problem in your "lock" button, or just live with it...
