Thank you for info.
Did not mention. After long press menu button (keyboard appears) and then typing a letter transparent panel appears.
Have you got keyboard after long press menu button?

Yeah if i long press menu i get the keyboard, when i press a letter, the search contacts box appears at the top, maybe you can fix this bug by pushing the htccontacts.apk from another rom and replacing the one you have

[Q] Physical Keyboard Shortcuts

Hey everyone I have a G2 running the Latest CM 7 build and for some reason out of no where my physical keyboard will open applications as if some of the keys were shortcuts to different applications. For instance when I press on the letter "e" it will open my email app and "b" for browser etc...I notice after a battery pull everything is back to normal and I am able to type as needed but after a few hours of the phone being on the problem comes back. Any ideas??
BTW this was happening even when I had CM 7 RC 1 as well.
this should just happen when you press search + BUTTON. map shortcuts in settings -> application -> quick launch.

Dock Apps

Hi guys
I would like to know if it's possible to change the default dock apps....
I would like to replace the message app with chompsms' Is it possible without replacing launcher
Yes you can change the dock icons (except applications I think)
I replaced contacts with "Internet" and messaging with "Music". All done with stock launcher.
How?
Long pressing on any of the docked icons and trying to drag them off does nothing, and you can't drag a shortcut from the home screen on to the dock, either?
EDIT: Got it, had to go into applications and then edit from there. I'm such a tool.

Could you be more specific ? I opened "application" and pressing the dock's app now appear "remove" but even if i drag them...they're still there.
Thank you in advance
1. On Home Screen press "Applications"
2. press "menu" and select edit
3. Now you can drag any app into dock position and replace default icons
3. press "menu" again and select "Save"
All done
Sorry for the OT question, but I think it's related. Can you change icons in the TouchWiz launcher, both the 4 buttons in home and in the "applications" menu? That's my only gripe about it, ugly icons.
yeah the 4 icons at the bottom are part of touchwiz which i havent seen away to replace with other icons yet.
Seen people talking about using a different launcher which i assume is related to this in someway but im not to sure.
Resets
If I change my dock apps, it resets when I restart my phone.
Anyone with a solution?
Thanks
is there a way to mod and put a folder instead of 1 app ?

[Q] Anyone know of a way to get menu overflow button?

Anyway to get the menu overflow button into all apps and disable menu key or make it multitask key? Xposed modules or Roms? I loathe the menu key. All of my other devices have software buttons so I'm always thrown off when going to my note. Thanks

xposed module: 3-dot menu mod do the job(add soft menu key). Install it, activate in xposed and restart.
PS. And Samsung did it again wrong, because the menus are ugly in all their apps (light grey icons on a white background).
delete
Good stuff. This restored the 3 dot menu in Chrome after Google yanked it out in the last update.
I peronwly love the menu button

Now to find a way to turn the menu button into a task switcher button and set long press home to google now
Youre right ... Listen to me get xposed modules install gravity box jellybean version... and use their pie controls.... make them appear on left side.... so use ur left thumb to acces home button and recent task on pie.... and your right thumb for the return button ... i know the feels... since that threw me off too ... this way you can comfortably navigate without sacrificing screen estate... .. trust me it rocks... contact me if you have more questions .. youre welcome

Long press home to Google Now can be done with Xposed. Both my phone and tablet work like that. I use Switchr for task switching with the activator in the bottom left and Button Savior Pro on the bottom right.
mine does that automatically. it also tried opening dolphin for some reason LoL
