Press the back button once and it goes away.

Indeed. Aside from the boot combinations that's about it.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
Hold search button for voice commands.
Now we're done
well if were gonna go there, hold home for recent apps
and i wish holding back would kill current app like in MIUI
Menu key opens menu (in apps that support it).
The volume rocker obviously controls the volume... And if you hold the volume down it puts your phone on silent with vibration.
Lol... Now were done here.

I did this while trying to respond to this post and my phone suddenly rebooted. I'm not sure what I did wrong
Home brings you to the home screen when in an app.
And we're done

heres a hidden one...tapping the power button turns the screen off. techwire news just announced a juicy little tip, tapping power button one time while screen is off will actually turn it back on thought id pass these new tricks on.

Holding menu button pulls up the keyboard in certain apps. AND now we are done.

Well, if you're going to get into the soft keys, holding Home brings up recently used apps and task manager. hold the search brings up an app selection including Sound hound if you have it installed.

Does anyone know if there is a way to manually assign something to a long menu press on stock? I know you can do it with CM7, but I haven't found anything for TouchWiz.
If your phone is on and you have cwm installed you can press and hold the power and volume buttons together and it will take you straight to recovery.

Text message keyboard hangup

If I'm in my messages making a text message. After I'm finished and I hit the back soft key or the home key the keyboard won't go away for a sec. Is it just me or does everyone have this lag

I assume you mean when you press the home button to escape out of the messaging app? Pressing the back key should just close the keyboard. But yeah that's normal, at least for me.

Ya I know what ur saying if u use the back key from the text message it gets rid of the keyboard, but I would like to get right out of the text messages by hitting the home button. Just thought it was weird that the keyboard lags around for a couple secs.

Power button issue in Rouge Recovery

I'm pretty sure this is one of those, "oh all you have to do is" scenarios but right now it's pissing me off. My Uncle needs to flash his E4GT back to stock, and I was just going to have him restore the original backup. Problem is, every time he gets to his "Restore" option the power button starts to act as a back button. What the hell? What is causing this and how do I get an "Enter" button again?
Isn't the home button"enter" on those recoveries

Tried that. That's a back button too. It's all all the buttons are back buttons now. The power button starts off working right, then it does that. It happened to me before too. A message will appear at the bottom saying the power button was disabled or something. Either way we tried the Home button, and that's going back as well.
Update: He says the Home button makes the highlight bar go up/Menu makes it go down, Back is back, Search makes it go back as well. Power button makes it go back. What the hell man? If I put another recovery on there, will it affect the (MD5)file that's stored that I need to restore?
No I've changed kernels/recoveries a few times and I'm still able to restore my older backups

Disabling the hardware menu and back button.

Is it possible to disable the menu and back button and install software key buttons like the nexus?

I just turned off the lights so I can't see them. And with AOKP or paranoid android they have the option for soft keys. Its nice because you can add a search key. I really missed that.

Yeah I've had the evo, the evo 3d and the epic 4g touch... They have always had the search key, was pissed that all the new phones have gone away from it

If you edit the key layout after applying the on-screen 'buttons', you should be able to disable them.
I'm running the LIH leak with the navigation buttons.

Disabling Menu and back button While handwriting?

Is thene a way to disable the menu and back button while using the handwriting feature? l am finding that my hand is touching the buttons whIle trying to write. Thanks

I was just thinking of this issue today.
Constantly having the same problem too...
Same thing with the Home button while its in my pocket...
I disabled my menu and back buttons completely and enabled the on screen navigation buttons. Only problems I've noticed are the stock camera app and call log don't adjust well still usable though.
