[Q]change recent apps key to menu - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

how can i change recent apps button (long press home button) to menu key?
pls help!

First of all you need root. Then you should be able to edit a file (don't remember which one atm, search)
Or you install cyanogenmod, there you have an option for that
And next time questions please in Q&A forum :good:

I've got the same version from SEUS, so guessing the latest.

Not sure, try hi-res images and see if it makes a difference.

I have a few queries, please some one clarify
1) In the lock screen there are few lines like "This phone belongs to", An alaram icon and "protested by antivirus". Can we able to change these?
2) While charging there is a battery icon in lock screen that shows battery level but after charging its not showing. Is there any way to show these.
3) Is there anyway to edit Status switch widget. I need only few from that.
4) I am actually using only 4 home screens, is there anyway to edit and remove the last one like in ADW launcher.
5) User guide is not working "Cannot find user guide on memory card ....." But I did not delete it and user guide is still showing in Ti backup. How to fix that.

I just figured it out there.
It's now the middle 'home' key instead.
So it's Home, Back, Back, Home, Back, Home, Home, Back.
Worked for me anyway

Is your X10 first hand? Did you install any antivirus app from the market?.. and there's another app which can add that line to the home screen, forgot the name.
i deleleted few apps and landed being not able to boot into the phone... luckily my phone was recognised thru SEUS , so did a repair / reinstall of the firmware.. now everything is fine including the power button press....
the root was also fine ...

Guess, I can help you with that.
1. Go to your main menu and open AntiVirus App.
2. Click menu key on your phone (the physical key left to home key) and click on 'Settings'.
3. Go to 'Remote Management' and click 'Lost Message'.
4. You can edit the 'Text before' and 'Text after' in there and look at the preview how will it look on lock screen.
Mine now reads -
WELCOME

Adobe Flash 10.1 ?
Hey,
Has anyone tried installing Flash yet?
Found this old thread for the dev versions of Flash 10.1 (I know general release is for 2.2), but thought this may work?
www dot addictivetips dot com/ mobile/ how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
Anyone with 2.1 wanna give this a whirl?
(I'm tempted to flash to generic Nordic, but rumors have the generic UK in 2 weeks, so may just wait...)
Thanks!

REQUEST: MOD for Android Keyboard (No Enter Key)

Good day everyone!
I hope that DEV's alot some time for my request.
My request is all about the android keyboard's missing feature that enables you to switch Smiley key into "Next key" or Enter key.
I look all over the forums and I found a modded ICS android keyboard, BUT its intended for NEXUS. I also want to ask if its possible for my ace to use this modded keyboard. Thanks!

Try digging the APK from the CyanogenMod ROMs.. It has Android AOSP Gingerbread Keyboard

Here is the keyboard, it has enter button as next line.

Thanks Bro!
Would you mind if i ask 1 more thing? How can u make it as a SYSTEM App?? I also can't seem to find the keyboard app in my lewa rom, because I have read in some posts that you can overwrite the system app with your desired app then just change the Permission.
By the way, thanks sax0406 for giving some time.

Use root explorer to paste the apk file in /system/app folder.. Then long press the apk, go to permissions, change it to rw-r--r-- and then reboot

Thanks bro! One more thing, can I apply this to odexed roms? Or does it really matter? haha!

[Q] remap recent apps button?

So I was looking at the mods posted and Im seeing that you can remap the recent apps button but I was wondering if this can be done with out root?
Unlikely, since to flash most mods root access or a custom recovery is necessary.

A missing 'keystr' file in efs/imei folder will cause that issue for u ma8
If ur phone is rooted,then follow the guide below to rectify the same, if its not rooted then u should root first and then follow the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23641669&postcount=8
The efs/imei folder should only be modified as a LAST resort......
If you do something wrong, the lack of the power options menu will be insignificant compared to the problems that will appear......
Do this at your own risk......

maybe your rom run too slow and your request has delayed.wait for about one minute.or you should make sure the long press do not more than 8 seconds.if you fail again,the only way to solve your problem is to reflash a new rom.
