Its almost impossible to type a fast conversation. Is Skips keys, gets stuck, lags.. but the most annoyung thing is that you press some keys (random) and the phone doesnt even recognize that you press them... ive deactivated the Skype as they say it was the problem..., but it seems to keep on going.. I also have an s5 and you can type way much faster with no lag....
Can you please guys help me solve it? It happend with google and samsung keyboard.

When I use Fleksy, the only time I get lag is when I am using it within a text editor.. I recommend you try it.. They recently went freemium, but the app was one of the Galaxy Gifts.

Here's a small .zip file that will remap your search button to open Camera.apk
Flash the .zip in recovery. There is also a .zip to revert to stock as well. Enjoy!
Sweet, thanks. That's gonna make life a lot easier!
From a rooted I-500 with XDA
Works perfectly
Its working most of the time but sometimes the camera comes up but its just a black screen and sometimes it says Camera failed. All in all it works most of the time. Nice work!
great find thatdudebutch! I see that the concept behind it is pretty flexible, have you tried running any other programs with the softkeys?

Yeah I just tried it about twenty times in a row and no blank screen. Wonder what the deal is? Camera in fact opens quicker remapped to search IMO.

I get the camera failed error/black screen about every other time I start hit search, kind of causes a momentary phone freeze. Thanks for your work on this though, its an awesome idea.

its weird man, ive been pressing it all day and it loads every time, sorry maybe if you got a second some time you can connect phone to adb and run a logcat while hitting the button so we can see what the problem is

Hi,
i have 2 year old kid he loves to watch cartoons or videos.
Is there any which blocks the touch and home button. On the iphone there was a application like Incarcer where you had to press volume and down to enable home and touch again.
Is there anything similar for an android phone. Got a galaxy s1 9100 and galaxy s 9000
Thanks.
If you want to stop your Kid from accidently making changes to your phone...This helped me a lot...

thanks but this is no use to me. I want him not to turn of the videos iam playing for them. At least he sits quite for a while when he watches some cartoons/videos. As you know they like to press the home button which closes the application like you tube or gallery. Also the touch screen which pauses the video. Need something which can prevent it
iphone had the tool called incarcer from cydia.

Hi
Another problem... again... android... always some problem with it.
When i press "sym-au" key on phisical keyboard and scroll all the way down it freezes and stays there. It is possible to disable it, but it wont move, or clicking in any symbol has no effect completely unresponsive.
On virtual keyboard the same... blocking and unblocking device helps also restart. But its frustrating to remember about it. Is it any solution ? On stock rom there was no such problem.

Scroll the last part slowly (scroll it with your finger, don't fling it), it will stay responsive, if it does freeze, doing a rotation from landscape to portrait will make it respond again.

Thanks for tip. It helps.
So its known problem... this version of rom will be updated? Is there any way chance this will be fixed ?

NO, that ROM won't get any updates anymore, and the issue is present on just about all roms, apart from the original stock firmware. If it was easy to fix someone would have done that already, i guess, so i won't hold my breath.
Just think of it whenever you need something that's near the bottom, it's not that hard to live with.

I just wanted to have software completely bugs free if it was possible, your right its not hard to live with . Stock rom gave me more problems. thx bye.
I find the stock dialer on the Z2 super annoying. it's slow and laggy. If i tilt the phone just a little bit it decides to go into the super useful (NOT) landscape mode, often causing me to hit the wrong key. I'm sure there are other things pissing me off about this but can't think of any right now.
I'd like to learn if other people have the same annoyances and if you've done anything about it, i.e. replace the dialer with something else.
thanks
i oddly dont find my self across this problem
i use stock, CM11 and CM12
i usualy use stock which i dont have problems with

One issue I have (not sure if its a Sony thing or Android) is when I move the phone away from my ear to use the dial pad and its so unresponsive, especially annoying when the call is one of those automated voice machine things and they tell you to press 2 or something, either the screen is slow turning back on the button takes forever to press

Hey google not responding with screen off or locked?
Tried enabling in the settings, still only works when phone is active?.
I have same problem ... It works only on lock screen, not when screen is black. So for example if I have accident and cannot move my arms, then I cannot use assistant to call for help, because I need to push power button (or double tap screen) first . This is very sad, just imagine how many people dieded because they could not call for help .
LOL, im sure it will get fixed, glad its just not me.
Did they remove the BOOST charge option for you to?

I never heard of boost option what is that ..
In charge setting there was an option called BOOST MODE, i was getting 18 min charge with it on, now its 21-22 mins, not a big difference really, just wondered where it went.

LOL, yeah it probably will not get fixed for a while if ever, its a satey net issue.
God dam annoying though.
A neat workaround is if you have a smartwatch, it still works on that.
