Noob question? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay I am on CM7 and for the life of me I cannot use the volume keys to get silent. In the options it lets me take off vibrate and just have silent. I don't understand why something so easy is hard.
World peace with no regard for human life.

Go to Settings -> CM settings -> Sound -> Check silent state. With that enabled, pressing volume down once you're at 0 should take you first to vibrate, then to full silent mode.

That worked. Never thought CM7 would have it's own sound settings along with the normal settings. I had to go back, put vibrate to always and check that box in cmsound. Thanks man.

No problem! Yeah, there are a lot of useful settings in the cm section. Sometimes it does seem it'd make more sense to integrate it into the main settings screens though.

*went through all cmsettings* Yep, lot in here. I'm constantly looking for a new way to appreciate my phone. Sometimes I do not like it and want to switch to a new phone.

Launcher Pro ???

So I was messing in the settings somewhere and enabled a setting that when the screen goes off, it goes back to my homescreen on unlock. Meaning say i'm sending an email and set the phone down and screen goes off...when I turn it back on, it goes to my homescreen and not to the email I was composing...I have looked for 40 mins and cannot find it..
Anyone have an idea where this setting is???
Thanks in advance.
You sure that setting exists in Launcher Pro? I just looked through every screen in LP's preferences and couldn't find a setting to match the behavior you speak of. Maybe it's a ROM specific setting?
Yeah, this definitely isn't a Launcher Pro setting. Can you tell us what ROM you're running? Perhaps a modified lock screen, too?
I specifically remember checking the box but cannot remember where. I am running Fresh 3.3 on NA 4.1.9
Thanks for looking, guys...if its not LP...I wonder if it was beautiful widgets...or reg settings...its so annoying.
Edit: FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Screen Off Animation Gone

I'm not sure at what point today this stopped working but whenever I hit the power button to turn my screen off now the screen just goes off. No more fancy tube TV effect.
Anyone know how I could go about re-enabling it?
I'm rooted running the most recent CM9 Kang rom. Let me know if you need anymore info.
Everything else is working fine.
Turning off window animations disables it.

Any chance you disabled it in the settings? I don't use CM9 but I know CM did have a feature with removal of that animation.
I thought I may have disabled it earlier so I looked all over for an option to enable and cannot find one.

How To Make Your Multitasking A Lot Faster And More Convenient [needs root]

Like many of you, I love my S3. One thing I HATE is the multitasking implementation. Holding the home button for 2 seconds is tedious and slows down the experience of a blazing fast phone
I have managed to overcome the problem and thought I'd share it in case this issue was frustrating others too. Essentially, it allows you to tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring the multitasking bar up. This can easily be done with one hand, and I find makes using the phone a lot faster
Steps:
- Download GMD GestureControl (there is also a free version, although I am not sure if this will 100% work on that)
- Swipe right to 'custom gestures'
- Set up like this

That's about it!

dear i think u should check the forum before you post... the thing GMD gestures already posted and described in the forum

Flip for Speaker feature missing

I recently upgraded to M8 from old One S and missing "Flip for Speaker" feature a lot. If somebody doesn't know that was a feature in many HTC phones earlier that would turn on speakerphone during call if you flip your phone screen down on the table. Helps a lot during those wait times etc. There is no such thing on M8 and I'm missing it a lot. I thought first that may be they removed it due to the front speakers, but I tested speaker and microphone face down and see absolutely no issue. I tried a separate "UpSoundDown" app, but it doesn't work very well.
Can somebody tell me is there a ROM that has the feature that I'm looking for? Is there a Kernel that can enable it? Where to look for this and where to request it if feature wasn't implemented?

No any input on this?
If anyone interested the best solution I found so far is Auto Speaker app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hanan.android.ramkol&hl=en
It works pretty good , but still I would much prefer "Flip for Speaker" option, because of lower power consumption during those waiting times and due to the way Auto Speaker switch works.
Does anyone know xposed module with such functionality? Where would be a good place to put a rom/xposed request like this?

Question Screen turns on when shaken & Google search bar

Hello.
This is my first time using a smartphone, and I'm new to IT as well, so forgive me for being dumb.
I recently got a Nokia G20 (Model number: TA-1336). It has Android 12.
Whenever I "shake" the phone, or just move it a little, the screen turns on. I believe it has something to do with motion sensing, but I couldn't find anything in the settings to turn this feature off.
Please help me.
On another note, is it possible to get rid of the google search bar at the bottom of the home screen? Without disabling the Google app, if possible.
Thanks very much in advance.
If this has been asked before, I'm very sorry for causing trouble.
Thank you very much WilliamMike, your advice fixed the first one!
The search bar, however, I still can't remove. The internet says to either install some NovaLauncher (which I'd prefer not to) or disable the Google app (this could break some features I assume).
Sorry for taking up your time, I appreciate your help!

Any idea where to go from here?
