I have been using a couple of roms where it appears that holding the back button will kill an app. How would I go about setting this up myself if I have a rom without this feature.

Without this feature you can't.

if developers can do this, it must be possible ... and I think the sense of the question was to know how to do (and to develop) this (an app/ workaround) separately (without a ROM) ... I would be glad to know this, too ...

Running CM7, MTD 12/19 build and was wondering if there's a way to take screen shots without installing an additional app on this. Any one able to shed some light on this?

Hold down power button, it will give you a choice for screenshot. Push that, and you have a screenshot.

I guess rarely rebooting my phone does have a down side. Many thanks to you! (actually I can only give you one)

Its funny what you miss. I never noticed this either.
The backlit "search" button on the lower right of the t989 screen gives me no end of trouble. Several times a day, I'll accidentally press it with my palm while doing any number of other things. This interrupts whatever I'm actually up to and always causes me have to start over in, for example, the middle of a long forum post.
What I'm looking for is some way to disable that particular key. Is there an app for that? Or some other hack?
Thanks,

I recently installed CM 9.1 on my T989. Searches during the last few days have revealed 9.1 as the most recent stable CM for this phone, and "hardware keys" isn't anywhere in these settings that I can see. What's the trick here? From what I can tell, CM10 isn't available for the T989. How new do I need?
It is most certainly available.

Flashed attached zip via recovery. This will disable JUST the search key.

That zip file did the trick. Thanks everyone, and especially Elsbb for the simplicity.

its not quite useless...
its a feature only your phone has and everyone out there is dying to have it
drag any two app icons into main page and voila! two apps will run side by side
you can disable it by pressing back button for somw seconds as said
Here we go again..:sly:

Is there a way to add other APPS into this shortcut bar?

I know I should be doing more research on my own.
but I've search on google and also XDA. most of them "enabling all apps for shortcut (multi-view)" i have to flash my note 2. Does anyone know if there is a way to add additional APPS without flashing?
Based on my search, I am sure the answer is pretty much a No.

Trust your instincts.
I feel your pain, XDA search sucks sometimes.

Excuse me if this is a stupid question but I'm just used to be able to access the camera from the lockscreen. And now I can't find a way to do it. I'm keeping the phone stock for the first three months. So if the only way to do it is to install root access or a custom rom I'm not interested right now.

The easiest way is turning the phone on its side and press the volume button

Thanks for the quick reply! That works great when you're using HTC BlinkFeed, of course i forget to mention that i use Nova Launcher. So if I want to use another launcher I guess I'm back to square one again.
I swear that I tried this before posting. But just now when I was trying it out it works launch the camera app with the volume up in button in landscape mode when I'm using nova launcher. That it I guess, problem solved.

First off, I am using the "nusense six" Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693502) and have the HTC one m7.
I have never used the stock sense six firmware but I have noticed that on this Rom, if you tap on the screen just above the HTC logo, it acts as if you pressed a hardware menu button (the menu for the app you are on pops up).
This feature is interesting, but the problem is that when I type and push the spacebar ever so slightly too low on the screen, the keyboard closes and the menu pops up. This has finally become annoying enough for me to make this post and I hope someone can help me disable this feature. Thanks!
Also if anyone knows of a relitively stock sense six Rom without this thing, please let me know.

It's just a kernel setting. You should be able to disable it using Trickster Mod.

I have browsed Trickster and can find no way to change this button layout. When I installed NuSense, I chose the option for logo button to be "home" plus "recent apps" out of curiosity. Now I want it back to stock. Where in Trickster mod can one change this?

That's not in trickster. Just reflash the Rom without wiping and select the stock option.
