Is there any way to get rid of the recent apps list in the drop down menu? I find it pretty annoying? I've scored through the settings without much luck. Thanks.

None that I'm aware of. Once the phone is perma rooted, there might then become a way.
I believe this is part of sense. I find it annoying myself :S
I like that it is there, if i need to get to another app quickly it is right there!

Yes,
But holding the home key does the same thing. Kind of a redundant part of Sense if you ask me.

This. It is the exact same feature.

I'm looking for a widget that displays on the home screen something like this:
"1 missed call"
"2 new emails"
etc.
I've seen it before around the forums but can't find it. Anyone know what it's called?
also interested in this to add to widgetlocker!
I know this exists, I've seen screenshots. Anyone?
One more ping. Seems like a really easy thing to do and i'm surprised there aren't more out there.

What is that power widget?????
Alright so im no developer, so this is why im offering this idea up.
Personally, im starting to hate Android...Im having some serious webOS envy. I know I know, just switch, or blah blah blah. I love the whole gesture based UI. So I was wondering..on the Inc the capacitive touch layer of the screen extends down to right around the bottom of the home-menu-back-search keys. (You can see by downloading some multi-touch tester and dragging your finger down there, it will read that your Y-Position is something like 820 or something.) So right above the trackpad in the middle of the soft keys is a blank spot. Would it be possible for you to change that so there is some sort of invisible soft button, that when you swipe up or tap it launches a user specific app? I would probably put some sort of app-switcher there, or well I dont actually know. But if this is possible, it would be really freaking awesome imho. Thoughts?
have you tried using adw or launcherpro...they have gesture ui, and you can change them also...ie, cm6. sense doesn't that I know of.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Cm6 has lockscreen gestures. Haven't looked into them myself but may be a place to look...
I know those launchers have gestures but what I mean is a new soft key in the middle if the menu and back key

I remember on stock 2.1 this invisible button did something in certain apps, I can't remember what it was though.
i see what youre saying and i think itd be pretty sweet. just to have another soft button to launch messaging or something. i'd love this in a rom

Why not remap the trackpad?
I understand maybe a invisible button could be cool, but its useless. So is the track pad, but the trackpad can be remapped
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well what if u made it to where swypeing left or right or down or up on the optical joystick opened apps of your choice while on the homescreen... or is that what were already talking about?
Well the track pad is not use less. I use it on a normal basis. Maybe for you having an invisible button would be use less but for me it would not. To each their own.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No that's not what I was thinking of, rather the area above the track pad. That's a good half inch Of wasted space.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Oh I see, yea that is a good idea, yea I'd like to see that
The question is, what applications would you match to that area?

Apparently the app has to know this not just the OS. People look at me funny when I appear to be petting my phone.

Haha. I have never gotten it to work. I actually got quite frustrated and was slapping it trying to get it to work. Yeah I gave up on it.

That explains it! I got so annoyed with it being selective I had to turn it off. Whats the point if its not universally applicable!
This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen
buttons) , its very simple and easy...
Warring: if you mess something dont blame me.
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
Much easier to use the recent and home.
And more comfortable for the thumb

Well those don't bother me. Still usable. But the navkeys are much smoother experience for me in general.

But you lose some of your screen to do this. I guess its a "what suits your own tastes" sorta thing...

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to give this a shot. Not sure if it's really that useful/suits me, but it's always nice to have options.
I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.
The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.
Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!
there has to be an app that does this as well.

Has anyone else noticed that there a noticeable lag when turning off the screen? The slight fade out animation seems to stutter and there is about a 1-2 second delay from when i press the power button to it actually doing something. This is probably one of the weirdest places for a phone to lag.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm running on stock rooted BTW.
EDIT (more info): This doesn't happen right after a factory reset. I takes a bit of time for it to happen which makes it seem like some app messing it up, but it happens even if there isn't anything installed besides the default stuff.

Could you link them? I looked in the Q&A section and didn't find anything. The search feature is currently down so I cant use that. If this is in fact a duplicate thread, then I'll get it closed up.
