[Q] Assign actions to hardware (volume keys)? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone know how to bind actions to the volume up/down keys?
I'm currently using the liquidsmooth rom and would like to know if I could assign back and home to those keys.
Thanks

Poop.
I can't find it...
But just to reassure you, I HAVE seen this hack implemented.
And it's a simple text edit.
I'll keep searching.

This could potentially be helpful as well...but I don't see mention of GNex support, so maybe go the manual route.

Camera shutter

I know this is probably on everyone's mind, so does anyone have a way to mute the camera shutter sound? I searched for camera muting apps, but none seem to be compatible with the E4T.
Is there a camera app that maintains the quality of stock while allowing muting?
Thanks!

Yeah, but you probably don't want to root just to be able to mute the camera shutter sound... at least not just yet.
I've found it quite annoying how you can't mute the shutter sound despite the camera app I try.
I've gone into every app I have, that offers shutter sound setting, Set it to OFF, and the phone continues to produce shutter sound when taking pictures.
Is this a bug ?

Right. Not worth the trouble in my case, but it is pretty lame.
A coworker read somewhere that I could use Tasker to mute the system, so I'm working on that approach.
There is an app in the market called shut up! camera! Requires root but amazingly it works with just one press of the disable button!

Replacement Keyboards not working.

I've tried swiftkey X, as well as ICS Keyboard neither will replace my keyboard, even after selecting them. Whats wrong?
2.3.3
r800at
Stock kernel
Rooted
Unlocked bootloader
After selecting them, did you go and long-press a text box, then select input method?
press and hold the screen on a text input and select 'input method' then change it to the keyboard u want.
and read my signature.

All I know is that LightFlow app triggers the light with no problem. It may be avoiding the problem via just sending a notification, though..
Regarding codes, this might be of a use to you.. (or to the Luminara developer):

Good Luck.

LightFlow triggers the light with NotificationManager. That is, the key is lying in the android layer.
I'll look into the kernel source to see if I can dig out something.
Thanks!

I just dig out this:
https://github.com/oppo-source/Find...3c567f39014c61ae4a2c3d8/drivers/misc/shineled
It seems that the Skyline led didn't even go through the standard LED control interface.
Anyway I caught it. =)
I'll release a micro tutorial on operating the LED soon, once I got it running.
Any testers?

OP is talking about the notification LED, not camera flash LED.

Knock code enabling / disabling with Tasker

I'm sure the answer is going to be stupidly obvious, but I cannot for the life of me get Tasker to disable the lockscreen (knock code) via a task.
The end goal is simply for me to enable the knock code when I am not connected to my HOME Wi-Fi, and disable it when I am connected to it at home. I've set it up similar to other phones I've used but I simply can't get it to function on the G4 (ever owned LG before so it could be a specific way to do it with them and knock codes).
Tasker is set as a phone administrator. Can anyone either show what profiles/scripts they have that DO work, or walk me through the process?
I've done it on the g3, but it requires root. Haven't looked at my g4, because I use the built in smart lock to do it with my Moto 360 now. Smart lock won't do by WiFi, but it will do by location. The on body detection for smart lock works pretty well also.
Yeah I am rooted on the Verizon version. Meaning to flash xposed haven't got around to it yet, but I know there are some modules that would do what I want. I'd just like to figure it out with Tasker if I can. Do you by chance have your G3 xml/layout still?
Here is the post I made. Haven't tested, but the values it's looking for are still present so I think it would work.

Ah that's too bad. That was something I had yet to try. Thanks for responding though.

I have the same question/problem... hoping someone has an answer. It appears that it has been disabled by sammy.
Use the double drop down to show the gear icon. Then long press the gear icon. Once it converts to a gear icon with a wrench on it, SystemUI shows up on settings.

Having trouble with this. If by "double drop-down" you mean two-finger swipe down, that brings down the full notification panel (toggle switches) panel... there is no gear icon on it.
If I swipe down with a single finger, there is a gear icon above the list of notifications, but it does not change to a wrench no matter how long I hold it.
help?
That is how I did it originally on Marshmallow. I am on N Preview now, and it is still the double swipe drop-down.
Let me get the link I used on matchmaker and post here.

I think you are trying to use the brightness icon, not the gear box.

I am sure I am not using the brightness icon. I am pressing the gear icon at the upper right of the screen (next to the one that looks like a grid).
Actually, I read the article you referenced before you posted it -- and several others. This is why I posted this here... that gear icon just doesn't do anything for me. I have read that some vendors have chosen not to use the System Tuner UI... and came to think that maybe Sprint or Samsung ditched it.
I see you are posting from a Nexus 6. Have you gotten it on a Samsung TouchWiz device?
Let me try really quickly.

okay... thanks for the try.
I asked about the System UI Tuner in another thread and have not found a way to access it. Given that some of the things System UI Tuner offers were already in TouchWiz, I wonder if Samsung just left it out. If true, this would be unfortunate because I don't know of any other way to control which icons appear in the Notification bar.
why are you posting in a note 4 section about your nexus?
can we ban members from showing up on our accounts when we come to the forum so we have less clutter like this?
