I don't have a one x, but I have a question, why don't we map the long press on the multitasking button to be the menu button? That way you still have the functionality without the annoying bar. Just seems silly to change the entire button to one function. If its a software problem its understandable, it'll just take time, but I don't see why it would be hardware since it has already been changed as it is. Just a thought. Any insight would be appreciated
Might be possible with rooting. I know the key designations in android is just a text file.

This is the wrong section but I honestly don't understand why the multitasking button is commonly changed to a menu function. I think the text file changing works in sense roms but i've tried to do it with CM9 and it didn't work. Highly likely I did it wrong.

"...Menu mapped to Recent-Apps-Button"
or
"...Menu mapped to Longpress Home-Button"
Hope this helps

Hi guys, thanks for making this so easy and flexiable. Nice to have the functionality of HTC desire on the Touch Pro.
Have a UK GSM Touch Pro with android install. XDAndroid 2.1 (rel 2.5a)
Questions?
Cannot seem to be able to go back, have to keep hitting the power top button which takes it back to the main page.
With windows mobile you could press the left arrow and it would go back to previous menus.
The house pictured button doesnt do anything, reject / cancel call take you to the unlock phone page.
I am on the O2 network, the phone works fine but states I am on BT Cellnet.
Don't get any icons flashin for alerts, IE sms, missed call, emails.
Thanks
Seriously? You felt the need to create a separate thread for this? Did you do any reading in any of the other threads? I don't expect you to read all 1000+ pages word for word, but search is always your friend as well.
I urge you to use those tools, and then if you have a question post it here instead of making another thread. Thanks!

thanks arrrghhh.
I have put in too much time and setup threads for people to go and ask questions / report and whatnot accordingly. Next time please post in the QA section which can be located here:

I was playing with my friends Nokia, and his hardware keyboard allowed him to turn on his flashlight (camera led) by holding down his spacebar.
So I was thinking, is there anyway to map the optical trackpad press on our dincs to do this?
Ideally when the screen is on/unlocked you would hold it down a few secs to turn it on, then hold down a few secs again to turn it off. Also if the screen was off/locked, then hold it down to turn it on but have it turn off the second you stop holding it (for accidental pocket presses).

judging by those two threads this doesn't seem very possible. is that what you were getting at? because you probably could have just said "remapping doesn't work"

Personally, I appreciate it when people provide me links to more information than a single line summary like, "remapping doesn't work."
But I'm sorry that I inconvenienced you with having to read other discussions.
You're welcome for providing you the information that you were too lazy to search out on your own.

Actually, what I was primarily getting at was the fact that at least two recent discussions cover this topic, and that information was there for the taking if you would take a few seconds to search / read.
There's a reason that the forum software tries to find similar threads every time you create a new thread. There's also a reason why the forum asks you if your thread is a question when you create it.
Finally, this doesn't belong in Development, since you didn't develop anything.
Since you like things summed up, here you go:
"Your issue has been discussed multiple times recently, it is a question, it doesn't belong in this subforum, and you may or may not have this thread locked or receive a temporary ban because of the aforementioned rules for this subforum."
Hope I didn't waste too much of your time this time.

Indeed. I just didn't appreciate rmoney's dismissive response to what I thought was a helpful reply: providing him with relevant links.
What happened to the "Search this thread" button? It was there last night, but gone today. Am I just not seeing it somewhere?
What's up with search?????
Me too.
I'm logged in, yet every forum page I go to does NOT have a search tool.
What's going on with these forums.
This happens all the time!!!!!
Yeah I'm also having this issue. At least now I can post stupid threads in the wrong places and no one can say to search before I ask dumb questions.
This site has been riddled with nothing but problems a lot of yesterday and so far today. Hopefully, the team will be able to get it sorted ASAP for us

If you're using the new theme then it may be in the collapsible side bar. Otherwise it's a bug.

Why does search keep disappearing and reappearing?????
What is going on with this site????
Search is absolutely essential to get anything done here.
Why does it keep going away???????
It's gone again..?
Perhaps it's in maintains mode?
Would be nice have some kind of notification/warning when such things happened.
yeah it's gone again coz i'm not seeing it :/
It's gone... And the n00bs are going to be even more dumb if they don't even have the option to search Help!
+1 I need search!
This is really annoying. Makes large threads hopeless to search...

It's already started!
I understand if the site is having a problem with the search function. Those kind of things happen. But if it's broken, then please put up some prominent stickies to let people know it's broken and what the status is!!!
Because, well, with the search function broken, we can't search the forum to find out if the search function is broken! See how that works?
Please bring this back!
FYI, I was using the 2010 theme and "Search this thread" disappeared. I just switched to the new beta theme, and now I can see a "Search this thread" function, but when I use it, I get a message that "search is temporarily not working". An error message is definitely an improvement over a disappearing function.
I really hate this too. If its broken mods could easily let all us know in the portal.
The google search function works but it **** hard.
I always get this error

They must want everybody to stop using the pesky search function and just post new threads. Easier for everybody that way.

Greetings! Spend several hours searching, can't find anything clean cut/modern about this.
I'm trying to remap one of the long-press buttons in the SwiftKey 3 keyboard. For example, a long-press z gives an underscore. I'd like it to give a tilde, instead.
I've heard of a few programs that allow remapping, but none seem to be compatible with the GS3. I've found guides about physically editing the keyboard mapping files, and then I've found other posts saying that those files shouldn't be touched.
Any help would be appreciates.
Thanks.
