Does anyone know if theres any way to turn off the quickmemo shortcut or at least change the config for the button between the volume rocker. I have the tmo p769 running 10g obviously unrooted. So i need to know if theirs an option in the stock rom. Any help would help, thanks
I think there is no way to turn off the quickmemo shortcut, but you could try disabling it in Settings->Apps->QuickMemo.

If you mean quick memo shortcut in notification bar, I disabled it using edit button (rightmost button in notification bar, if you cannot see it, usually it hidden, just slide to show it)
Turn off the quick memo function.

If you are rooted, please get a hold of the Rom Toolbox from Google Store, I think it is free. If you are not rooted you can find a root for the LGOP in the XDA forums for your phone and carrier. Once rooted you can install and open the Rom Toolbox app. Next find the app manager tab. Under this tab scroll down to find Quick Memo. Tap on it and a menu will come up asking if you want to perform different options, select freeze. This will keep the app, but allow you to stop it's functioning. If this causes any problems you can go back repeat the process and restore it to it's original state by selecting defrost. I did this and it is currently working as a fix for me and I have not had any problems yet.
BTW, I am not an expert, all solutions if they exist may be found online and many of the better ones in this forum.
Good Luck.
You can't disable the QuickMemo app, but you can change what app the QuickButton opens or have it do nothing.
Where to go: Settings > QuickButton > Shortcut
Walkthrough: Go to the phone settings and scroll all the way down to the System section and tap on QuickButton. Then tap on Shortcut and a list of apps will show up. Select an app that you want the button to open. Or if you want it to do nothing, select None at the top of the list. That's it! Simple, right?

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'.

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.

double tap a different behaviour
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.
Is there any way to access core Android functions like app switching (holding down the Home button for a few seconds), to be used in other contexts? Similar to how you can access Activities from the apps installed and use them as Shortcuts.
What I'd like to do is this:
press Home -> bring up app switching interface
long-press Home -> go to Home screen
Basically I want to reverse the two functions that short and long pressing the Home button does.
If not that, I'm also interested in being able to access the "app switching interface" via a Shortcut (like a Shortcut you place on your Home screen), or via an app.
For example, you can long-press on the Home screen and add a Shortcut (different than adding a shortcut to an App) which basically includes various context functions of some of the apps you have installed. I want to be able to do this - add a Shortcut - in which the Shortcut I add launches the "app switching interface" that you normally get by long-pressing the Home button. That way I can put that Shortcut in Wavelauncher or wherever else I want to be able to app switch without the annoyance of having to long-press something.
Maybe this kind of thing requires root and hacking, but that's why I'm here! I'd be grateful for any advice and help; thank you!
As far as I know you'll need a custom rom like cyanogenmod or aokp to do things like that.Being able to do that in a stock rom would compose of alot of work within the framework-res.apk, systemUI.APK, and button maps. To flash a custom rom require root and clockworkmod. I want to help you but first what type of device do you have?

I'll be getting my new LG Optimus G Pro in a few days. I was hoping, if I can't reverse the functionality on the Home button, that I could maybe assign the "app switching interface" to the programmable button on the side. Thanks for helping out by the way.
Is your device rooted? Also thank me with the button

I don't have it yet, but I would be willing to root it. I'm using my good ol' GS2 Skyrocket for the next few days until it arrives.
Well I have my Optimus G Pro and I've been using it for a few days. I saw an app by the makers of Tasker that allows you to build your own app. Could I possibly use that to accomplish what I want (build an app whose function is to show the "app switching interface" )? Or would I really need to root it (and if so, what then?)?
Hi,
On the Galaxy S4 you should be able to press the soft menu key on the left side of the home button in the settings menu to make the settings 1 long list like the Galaxy Note 3. Now I did this on a friends model which was unrooted, locked, and standard software and it worked fine. On mine which is rooted, unlocked, LOKI'd etc, running a custom rom I tried doing the same thing and it doesn't work. Is there a link to any mod I can use to enable that feature because I like the longer one menu instead of the 4 tab menu on the GS4?
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

I just tried that on mine (ME7 stock rooted) and it didn't work so maybe if your friend has a different carrier version it has this feature? Well, since you're on a custom rom I guess that doesn't matter, I would suggest Paranoid Android because they have all sorts of options for tablet modes, etc so I'm sure that'll get you what you want.
That feature is still there as I use it as a long list instead of tabbed out. I'm completely stock and have always had that option available

But maybe thats why.. because your completely stock so maybe it is taken out on the roms but works on completely stock? Does anyone know of a mod to flash to enable this setting?

To go into settings, tap on the "menu" key to the left of the home button, then select "Settings".
Now tap the menu key again. It will pop up a "Switch to list view" message. Tap that to change to list view.
Tap on the menu again and "Switch to tab view" to flip back.
You don't hold the menu button down.

Yeah I tried that and still nothing. I hit the menu key in Settings and it doesn't do anything. Strange. Must have been one of my modifications that broke it somehow. I have Wifi notification gone, e911 gone, volume boost, and international dialer. One of those must of somehow broke it. Thanks anyway
So no luck finding a mod to enable it?

My sister has a Sprint GS4 and the menu button is broke (home also, but she has a soft home app, could not find a decent menu button, oddy enough).
I know that if the phone has no physical menu button, the app always puts one somewhere on the app. My question, is there a build.prop or similar to trick all apps into thinking the phone has no physical menu button so it will show in the app? Thanks, i hope someone can help. (Phone not rooted, but i can root it)

Button Savior-Non Root should work. It would be better to root it though as you have a lot more and better options, such as Pie controls with the LMT Launcher.
I actually did try that, but it was a very ugly interface. There's gotta be some system-wide setting that lets all apps know whether you have a hardware menu button or not, right?

Exactly, I can root it (I have CM11 on my own S4 so I have rooted before). I just wanted someone to tell me exactly what to change and I'll root it and do the modification.
I just don't want to root it if I can't find out how to accomplish the menu button.

So ive been search around for a while now on how to fix this. And to anyone that chimes in and says why do you need the menu button obviously you don't use older apps, the new touch button on the screen is a huge annoyance especially since i've used my phones this way since my first S1. Regardless this is how i want it and so do many other people.
Currently this is only for a rooted phone
I have figured out how to remap the left soft key from the App Switcher/Multi window over to the old style menu key. Instructions for that can be found here
But now i don't have any way of switching to my currently open apps, after remapping the left key, the longpress now takes you to search. and long pressing on the home button also takes you to another variation of the search (both i dont use nor want). I want to be able to remap my left softkey on longpress to open up currently open apps (APP_SWITCH) and it would be nice if long pressing on Home could open the Task Manager as it did on my S3.
As far as i can tell editing of the longpress function is done via a Policy edit. Read about that HERE
Keep in mind that post is from 2014 so i have no idea if the internal code is still being handled the same way, i couldn't even find that file on my S6, but i did find a file called SEPOLICY in my root folder using ROOT EXPLORER. Do any of you know more about this and how I can go about changing this? im sure its a code level adjustment. Thanks
Long-press home button can be controlled without root easily.
Check out this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spada.nowgesturetweaksfree
I use the long-press home to get to my last used app.
I wonder if I can remap my buttons to launch any other apps.. Will have to tinker around a bit.

very useful. menu for navigation is long long outdate. software nave or 3 dots is the customary way to go. adding a secondary menu button is redudant and unnecessary. my little ewww comment brought a lot to the table. you tryingt to call me out on it is less useful.

lol f off
If you guys use Dropbox, how do you get to the menu with SORT, etc.. without a menu key. This is making me crazy. I'm using nova launcher and there is no floating menu key. ????
The problem is if not every developer uses it, it's inconsistent.
It often helps if the options etc. In apps are on the top, so you don't have to fidget with your phone to reach the top or use two hands.
The menu button on every app is positioned somewhere else, so I find the op wanting it justified.
All in one gestures let's you remap every key, for some odd reason on my s4 I can remap the menu key, but on the S6 for some odd reason the option of the menu key has vanished in the same app:what:

Hi pal. Hope it helps. Make 254 button remap, then install nova launcher, in tab gestures select long press menu and then recent app. Profit! Now once tapped you have menu button, long pressed - recent apps.
So, i made it, i use it. It works.
