I dont know if anyone of you noticed but when i press the home key on the sgs2, it takes a second or two to respond. I HATE IT. I know samsung did that so it can make sure that we are not pressing it twice for voice control activation.
But I don't care abt voice navigation control. is there anyway to speed the home key action? I need instantaneous jump to home screen as soon as I press the home key. Please help.
Thanks
already resolved in most custom roms
there is also a thread in original development (found via searching) that details how to do it manually
Greets,
Just flashed aokp_p4wifi_build-37 on my GT-P7510 (awesome, btw), but it seems that the ability to long press on back button in the browser has disappeared. In the stock ROM, long pressing on the browser back button and/or the navigation bar back button (while browser is open) would bring up a list of previous pages in the stock browser. I don't see this option via the "quick controls" either. I'm getting the sense I'm missing something obvious, and am looking for clues.
Thanks...
it works on cm9 but not AOKP. I think this is because the long back press is intercepted by ROM Control(ROM Control>Navigation bar>Navigation Bar Buttons).
Thanks f2. That explains perfectly. Perhaps there will be a workaround at some point; I've become too dependent on that feature...
Hi, I found some old threads about changing keylayout and stuff, but nothing recent (you know: since JB) and I just got the phone yesterday.
Right now, the phone does this:
Menu button press: menu
Menu button hold: Google Now (search)
Home button press: Home
Home button double-press: SVoice
Home button hold: Recent Apps
Back button press: Back
And I would like it to do this:
Menu button press: Recent Apps
Menu button hold: menu
Home button press: Home
Home button double-press: nothing
Home button hold: Google Now (search)
Back button press: Back
I'm kinda surprised that I can't find an app for this, as it really just seems like I'd be changing a little bit of text inside some config/layout files.
FWIW, I'm running completely stock but I rooted it yesterday. No ROM has been flashed, and I would love to keep it that way. Any help is greatly appreciated!

My thread got pushed off the front page faster than I could find Google Now on my new phone.

Thanx - nice find!
It still doesn't accomplish what I want, though... And I am a HUGE proponent of keeping things simple. My least favorite thing about Windows 8? All those muthereffin gestures that you need to memorize. It's not simple, and you have to completely relearn how to use an OS that you've been using for ages.
Hey Guys,
My power button has become kinda un-responsive and I guess my i9100 is out of warranty already. At first I thought it was the ROM and I flashed another rom only to realise it's the same thing.
Does anyone know a on-screen power button app or such?
I saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151326 but it is an app, i would have to exit my current app, open another app and select power off, it's kinda lengthy .
I was wondering if there was an app like assistive touch of iOS (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UsO76BmQCJ4/Tu58i5wshhI/AAAAAAAAAF0/LnjJJR_lChw/s1600/photo+1+%282%29.PNG) which is able to add actions like power off (the ones in store seem unable to do that).
Thanks guys
Edit: Found a app that is somewhat similar to assisted touch, it creates a sidebar (like multi-window is LSJ) with all the options, I guess I'm gonna stick to that for now but would love to see if anyone has any other solution/suggestion. The app I am using is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid.assitant
If you shut down your device via on screen wiget, will you be able to power it back up?
I suggest just getting the phone fixed.

That's something I didn't think of, the power button works if i press it a few times so for now it's alright. I guess when I return back to my home town would fix it there then.
So I've found for that I often want to easily go to the place I was before I pressed the back button. That or I have pressed it by accident. So a forward button is the first thing that comes to mind.
I don't think such a thing exists yet and there are very few discussions I have seen that touch on this idea. Mostly the idea was written off as being noob or just not being useful.
Now before you tell me that all I have to do is find and select the original place I was again, one word: convenience. And for the sake of innovation due to my own laziness, humor me.
The Forward Button would work similarly to how a forward button works on an internet browser, the difference being that it works throughout the Android UI just like Androids Back Button does.
When the Back Button is pressed, it triggers a feature that will record the path of the page you are leaving. So if you were to select the Forward Button after using the Back Button, the recorded path would be activated, taking you to the page you were on before you used the Back Button.
Although, the Forward Button directly relies on the use of the Back Button. So if you went somewhere else after using the Back Button, (instead of using the Forward Button) then all of those paths you came back from that were previously recorded would be erased. The Forward Button only works directly after using the Back Button with no other actions in between except using the Back or Forward Buttons again. Just like the internet browsers version.
Technically, because the feature of a Back Button is already included, the Forward Button just would be some sort of add on to that, right?
I should say that I am not a developer myself, and I have very little knowledge reguarding it. But if a concept is what it takes to get me learning so that I can create something, so be it.
So if some experienced developers or just anyone who has any input could give me insight into the possibility of this working and maybe even some logistics of how it could be done, please share.
