What would happen if I deleted the google search apk(s)? Would anything catastrophic ensue? FC's galore? I need to know because I'm planning on trying something.

Interesting thread here.
I can confirm this method works for the pre-defined commands...However our file is:
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touchkey.kl
The changes simply need to be made with something like Root Explorer, then reboot.
FWIW...There's also an app called Button Remapper, but it pretty much does the same thing as editing the keylayout files.
.
Edit: FTR: I had just started looking into this because I was trying to figure out a way to simply kill the foreground app by holding the back button...sometimes I feel like I'm playing Atari here.

If your talking about the voice search also, I have come across a handful of apps which call for use of the search key long press.

I remember when I had an iPhone I was able to hold the top power button and the home bottom at the same time and it would take like a snap shot screen shot type deal of my current screen can an evo do that? Maybe an app I need in order to do that?
Thanks!

Yup, either drocap2, or Shootme. There are probably more, but those are the two main ones. I use drocap2, and it works great.
it's also worth noting that you need to be rooted to use any of the screenshot apps in the market.
word is that 2.4 will most likely have it built in.

Well you still need to be rooted, well at least now to use it.
Yeah, was the same way with the Evo. At one point you could without root, then something changed by way of app update or something. Almost want to say I remember a OTA breaking ShootMe on one of my Evo's. Either way, as said, shootme and dropcap2 are your best bets. Provided you have root access.

No problem, and to you as well.
And its always a sad weekend without my evo. I feel naked without it.
So I have seen this issue on other forums, but was wondering if any of our fine developers had looked into this at all. High level summary---if you change your LCD density, a multitude of apps in the new market (3.1.3) will tell you your phone is not compatible. I believe this happens in version 3.0.27 (or whatever the last version was). Basically, the only workarounds I have seen or found is to reset the LCD density back to 240 anytime you want to use the market (I have found 172 to be the best setting for me, so this is a big difference, and just a general pain to keep switching back and forth). The other option is to downgrade my market back to version 2.X.X. Is there anyway to bypass the density check or force the value the market uses to always read 240?? Thanks is advance!!
Bump. If anyone gets this to work, id like to know too.

If this gets a fix, I'll change my density. But I use the market too much

And I have mine at 162. Super Manager, ACS Updater, Go Weather, QuickPic, Rhapsody, Facebook, Adobe Flash, etc don't work with the new market below 240.
But maybe you don't use those particular ones. Or they came pre-istalled.
Old market perhaps?

Ahhhh, "Screenshot" is ok, simple app. Also that new screen cast and recorder app has a screenshot function that works okay as well. There is a demo version and a paid version.

Idk if LCD Density is responsible, or if it got pulled, but since this thread has been posted, it seems to have been pulled out of the market, I'll verify by checking my apps to see what info is provided.

anybody know why?
Maybe they have an update guideline.. or improper flagging.. or pulled by request of the person who made it. I've emailed the dev in the past, 0 feedback, perhaps he removed it to release a better version, or perhaps was insulted/furious in the fact that there's other apps that provide the same functions, and even copied his apk icon, recoloring it to avoid copyrights.

Shootme Alternatives?
Does anyone know of any good alternatives to Shootme?
I have v0.8.1 on my phone, but for some reason its not working.
Actually, its kinda weird. It worked perfectly fine on my Evo running Froyo before I rooted. Then I rooted a couple weeks ago and flashed CM7.1. Now its saying "Failed to start server. Please check that you have ROOT access...blah blah blah," even though I've granted it Superuser permission. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the like. I know CM7 has built-in screenshot feature, but Shootme is a lot easier when taking multiple/quick screenshots. Anyone have any suggestions of how to fix this, or know of any good alternatives?
Drocap2 maybe.

Check out and see if busybox is working. Busybox installer in the market usually does the trick. I had an issue with shootme before because busybox wasn't i.nstalled properly. Hope it helps.

Can someone mod shootme so that we can get a better framerate on the screencast feature. Just to let you know a Dev already did this but his modded apk is no longer available in his thread( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925270 ). Also know that the higher the framerate, the crappier the quality of video. Here are the steps if anyone can do it:
just decompile the app with ApkManager or other and ajust the values in /res/values/array.xml
I would do it myself but I don't have good luck with ApkManager

Well you never said you knew that in your OP now did you.
After you reboot and if you go to the log and select one of your text messages or voice mail when you go back into log everything goes away except voice calls so looks like it may just be a glitch that will hopefully be fixed with a update, but maybe you know that already as well.

Something that drives me crazy is the call log. Idk if its a samsung or touchwiz thing, but I had the Epic last yr for a few months and never tried a laucher to see if it changes. Is there a way to get rid of every single call? If I were to get 7 calls in a row from the same person it shows it 7 times. Is there a way to just have it show once rather than having your call log show every calls incoming and outgoing from "Joe".

Yes you need a modded logsprovider.apk. Now that root is acheived I am sure many things will be coming soon. Hopefully CWM will be next.

CWM has been achieved. Check out ACS's website.
I really don't even know how to search for this because the only device I know of that I could compare the functionality I want is the iPod Touch. I moved to Verizon a while back and got the Galaxy Nexus. What I would like to do with my Epic is remove all of the phone functions and leave it as a WiFi capable device similar to the iPod Touch so that my son can use it to watch videos and play games. I keep airplane mode turned on, but I keep getting some notification about voicemail not working and I would prefer it to not be able to accidentally dial 911 since Sprint is required to allow that call if the phone tries to send it.
Are there any ROM's that do this, or is it easy to remove the necessary files? I currently have ACE2.0 flashed, and I love it, but I will switch if I need to.
Didn't someone just post this exact same thing? Delete dialeractivity.apk and there will be no dialer.

Sorry, I didn't see any threads that I thought were the same question. Does that take care of the voicemail notification too?
I found this when looking for something similar for a used Fascinate.
I haven't tried it yet, but intend to when I get some time in a couple weeks...
Looking at the package it deletes several apks and installs a "radiooptions" binary that gets run via script at boot-up.
