I can't seem to find an app to disable volume buttons ?
I can manually do it and reboot by editing gpio.kl but I need a quick way,
A way to set it to change and auto reboot with a click or an app that does it without any reboots would be what I need
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

You know when you double tap the home button you get the voice search powered by vlingo.. is there anyway to completely remove it and disable the keymap for it?
Because i cannot use the quickdesk app at all. You can either press home once to enable the app (works) or double tap it (Blasted voice search always comes up first so i can not use it). i prefer opening the app by double click as i want the single click for home..
i have a rooted phone and used root uninstaller to remove the app but with the app removed doubling clicking brought up nothing, not even quickdesk or vlingo so im thinking it is mapped in.. :/
anyone?
You can freeze it with Titanium Backup.
yeah i have tried freezing it but then when i double click nothing comes up... its sort of like the phone has permanently mapped the double tap to only open vlingo and nothing else
look in the apps section for homemyhome it will allow to set up what ever application you want to open with a double click.

It's in one of the forums here. It works very well. Just do search on "homemyhome"
In Jkay's "Deluxe Settings" app (search xda) there is an option where you can unckeck "home button double click". After that Iwas able to use quickdesk as I love it. Now, read the jkay thread since I don't know exactly what you have to do to get it to work since for me the app came preloaded with a custom ROM I flashed.
EDIT: Ok, I did you a favour: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278
THere you'll find all the guide you need to install it. OF course you'll have to have root and CWM installed. This is because you need a theme with jkay support for the app to work.
EDIT2: I found the thread for the app that Cosmic Blue recommended. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299923
It's way simpler than my method for just the home buton thing.
Thanks a lot for finding the thread!! but when I install homemyhome it just says application not installed with a tick next to it.
Also it said get rid of voicetogo.apk but I dont even have that yet my vlingo voice works :/
I am rooted btw stock rom

I'm also running a rooted Stock rom as well.
Disclaimer: I have just enabled root today and and it's been a fun ride. While I'm new, the info below is verified by me to get a result on the SGS2 International version I own.
I has success with removing VoiceToGo.apk and substituting it with Google Voice Dialler. Perhaps you could look through the steps below and see if you might have missed something?
Troubleshooting:
Have you restarted your phone? (probably an unnecessary question, but I generally do it to be safe)
Have you double-checked /system/app/ to verify VoiceToGo.apk is still present in that directory? If you can still run Vlingo, then this app is probably still in that directory.
Workflow:
I also followed the instructions in the post tomascunill linked (had to read the instructions a couple of times to ensure I understood them).
I used CWM to do a full device backup before doing this just in case I needed /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk again.
I fully deleted VoiceToGo.apk with the free version of Titanium Backup app from the Play Store.
I connected the phone while in normal mode (not download mode) to my Linux laptop and used adb from the Android SDK to take it from there.
adb commands I used were:
To verify adb saw my device (which it didn't initially because I had the phone in download mode), I ran:
Code:
[downloads]$ adb devices
List of devices attached
304D19E8516BED9E device
To make adb remount my file root file system, I ran:
Code:
[downloads]$ adb remount
To push the VoiceDialer.apk to the correct location I executed:
Code:
[downloads]$ adb push VoiceDialer.apk /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk
I then restarted the phone and all was good.
My son was double-tapping that button and starting Vlingo ALL THE TIME. But now I can control that. The great thing is that Google Voice Dialler doesn't launch while on the lock screen (my son isn't quite that smart to unlock the phone)
Hope this helps you work out what's happening.
Since there are many people asking for this mod which is available on CM9/10, I was searching a bit and finally got it working. It works on any ICS/JB rom but I havent tried on GB. Thanks to rovo89 and stole38. Make sure you are following all steps correctly because if not, your phone will be stuck in a bootloop. OK, here we go ! :fingers-crossed:
Requirements:
1) Root
2) init.d Support
3) Brain
Installation:
1. Download this APK file and install it on your phone (Xposed Installer) HERE
2. Download this second app and install it on your phone (Xposed Tweakbox) HERE
3. Open the Xposed Installer and press Install/Update. Wait.
4. After installing the framework, press Soft Reboot. The phone will reboot and might boot longer than usual, dont panic
5. After the phone has rebooted, open the Xposed Installer again and go to the Modules tab.
6. Check Xposed Tweakbox. And exit the Xposed Installer.
7. Open the Xposed Tweakbox app and choose Miscellaneous from the menu.
8. Check Skip tracks with volume keys
9. Exit the application and reboot the phone
10. Enjoy !
NOTE: It works only when the screen is off (locked).
Thanks lot, I'll try it
great app, trying it out now, and softreboot was faster than a regular reboot.
working good on my SXP. thanks a lot for this.

Yes, after the installation of this mod you must NOT install any other tweaks from tweakbox

So here it is
Init.d plays an important role in the world of Android development and customization It allows users to install scripts and mods to be run at boot—everything from battery tweaks to performance tweaks. It essentially opens the door to a world of mods only possible through the Init.d process, which in turn is usually only available on custom kernels.

Is there any way to remap the recent apps button to a menu button using the CM10 preview? It seems that the original mod doesn't work anymore, and I tried replacing the build.prop file with the one currently on my phone, but that didn't seem to do anything. Currently I'm stuck with no way to access menu functionality, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

You should be able to do that in Settings/System. Can't remember the right spot after that as I'm not running the CM10.1 preview anymore.

Hey XDA,
I have small hands and would like to know if its possible to swap the menu and back soft key buttons?
Moving the back soft key to the right and menu button to the left.
I have small hands unfortunately. :cyclops:
I did stumble upon this mod but I was unable to save the file with ES Explorer and I'm rooted.

Thanks in advance
I think you can do it with Xposed module. I think it`s called One-Handed Mode for all devices, there should be lots of modules like this anyway.
I was looking for more of a flash zip to replace the buttons not an app.
I used the Xposed Module "Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons" to switch them around.

"Xposed is a framework for modules that can change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs. That's great because it means that modules can work for different versions and even ROMs without any changes (as long as the original code was not changed too much). It's also easy to undo. As all changes are done in the memory, you just need to deactivate the module and reboot to get your original system back. There are many other advantages, but here is just one more: Multiple modules can do changes to the same part of the system or app. "
Xposed it`s not just an app. Any modifications that you do can be easily reverted back, which is better than the risky flashing way.

I am using Nitrogen OS ROM and it has Superuser built in.
I am having problem with REMOVED, the problem is, when I launch the phone it doesn't asks for Root permission and I can't mod any ROM, the only option that shows under "Open Menu Of Patches" is "Create Modified APK".
How to fix this?
Under settings, remove root detection. Set root to true.
I might be wrong but.....
Yes I also faced the same problem with Nightowl Lineage CM13 but I got it fixed. Go to About Phone then enable developer options then click on the build number for 6 - 7 times. Go to developer option by going back. Then scroll down you might see a column call 'ROOT ACCESS' click on it amd then click on APPS AND ADB.
