Softkey - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I change the function of my virtual softkeys?.. For example I want my menu key to turn the flash light on when I long press it!....etc......I'm on ICS Kyocera hydro..

There are many AOSP ROMs which allow customized actions for the soft keys. Look for some for your device and flash one.

I was looking for a way to do it manually because my device has a lock boot loader and we cannot flash or build any ROM ..but we do have root...

You will have to redo the roms framework from the ground up.

Widget locker does that if you don't mind replacing your lock screen.

It works for me. I think the option is buried somewhere in the settings.

I see the toggle button in widget locker where that *should* make any physical button wake the device, but it doesn't work for me. Im also looking for a way to make the volume buttons wake screen, if you find a way please keep us posted!!

This also doesn't work for me, I am running Joker's Skinny ROM and obviously rooted, unlocked and unbricked..for now.
That is strange. It worked for me on Homebase and its working on cybik's cm7 build.
EDIT: I should probably note that I can only get the volume buttons to wake it. The camera button is a no-go, no matter what setting I try.

That's cool...I remember seeing videos of a guy waking up his CM7.1 phone with a long press on the screen..that was sick.

[Q] Change color of scroll limit animation

Is it possible to change the color, or the animation itself, of the orange "you hit the end of what you can scroll" animation?

Uot kitchen has a mod for that.

I guess I'll have to wait then, it's too much of a hassle to get a custom recovery onto my phone until someone can figure out how to stop the stock recovery from being reflashed

Launchers

Are there any launchers out that move the three soft buttons at the bottom of the screen to the left (or right side) - like in ICS?
Is this even possible?

From what I have read..... No.
Only a custom ROM (correct me if I'm wrong) with such mods can do it. Of course you have to be Rooted and Unlock if you want to go that route.
The only way to do it is to flash the Paranoid Android rom. I did and its awesome.
Thanks, that's what I figured...

Wrong... There is an App called hidebar.. I use it on my nex 4..also use button savoir so you can still move around.. You must be rooted...

[Q] Multi windows not working

Running hyperdrive rom and my multi windows does not work. The screen divides but when I drag a app over it takes up the whole screen, and the bar that divides the screen stays there. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a minor glitch when in multi with the keyboard but haven't seen anything that
Could you take a screen shot (hold power button to bring up menu prob best way).

That is weird, does that happen in other apps besides YouTube?
It does it on every app.

5.0 lollipop

I am looking for anything that can customize the new lollipop? From adding soft key buttons to changing the colors? I've tried different apps and don't work.
