I looked around and could not find an answer anywhere.. id really love to make it where, if I held my home button down I got voice search. is it possible? im running a customer touchwiz rom.
You may have some luck poking around in the /system/usr/keylayout/ files. Look around in the files in that folder with a text editor (such as the one in Root Explorer). If you can find the line where recent apps is shown, just replace it with SEARCH.
Make a nandroid backup before you screw around with any of that stuff.
Or just use this app to do the dirty work for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
try home2shortcut from the app store...

I'm looking for an app that I can use to easily organize my apps on miui since it has no app drawer. I had something in mind like an app that anytime you downloaded an app it would ask you what folder you wanted the app to be placed in. Anything out there that automatically does this or something similar?
create folders and store them in there

Best bet is going to be just moving it to the designated folder be it games, utilities, social media/network etc etc. If their isnt a program that does what you want then most likely you will have to make it yourself or find someone who can make it and ask them, or simply just leave it as is and be happy.
Thats my 2 cents sorry if i didnt help you much.
I use LauncherPro. Seems to work nicely.
I believe Folder Organizer might be what you're looking for, OP. I use it in combination with LauncherPro.
Hello,
I have a Telus Desire HD, still stock and untouched. I'm waiting for some more support, etc before I root it.
My problem is that when I press the Search capacitive key, and use the "Search Anywhere" application that launches to search the web, %20 is placed instead of spaces, for example:
I type in: Desire HD XDA
In google results, it would show: Desire%20HD%20XDA
And it does affect the results, I get weird pages when that shows up, and I end up having to fix it by editing what the search bar shows is written on the google mobile website, or by just using the Internet app to google search instead of using the search button.
The thing is, very rarely, it does search correctly, without adding the %20 in between spaces, so I'm not sure what causes it
Thanks again for your time.
Anyone else know of this?

I have the same problem. Unlocked stock TELUS DHD.
I can hardly wait for a working stock AOSP ROM without Sense.
No, I love sense. I prefer it over aosp. I just want this search issue fixed and I'm happy.

I would love to get rid of searchanywhere and replace it with a simple google search box. Hope someone can work it out.

Tried editing the .kl files for key 217 but still no success.
Hey folks,
I've been able to get by, copy pasting using a long press. But I've noticed that it doesn't work in a number of areas. I had trouble with the native email (not gmail) app. I want to copy a tracking number from the email, but there's no way to do it. I even tried to reply and fwd the email to make the text editable... but no luck.
Long pressing in the email app seems to highlight the text, but no options come up, and the menu button gives me irrelevant settings.
It seems that there is no hardware shortcut or hotkey to copy and paste! This is terrible and so inconvenient.
Does anyone know a way to program the quick keys to perform cut, copy and paste maneuvers? I imagine it would be pretty simple to do. It would finally make good use of those 3 crummy keys.
Thanks

I have no trouble copying from my email... you long press, drag the highlight across your desired text, and then tap quickly... a toast messages appears saying that it was copied to the clipboard...
What ROM are you using?
Edit: Ah, I see you're also running CM7. You should have the capability.

I can copy/paste from gmail without issue by long pressing. But it won't work from the email app that I use for my yahoo account.

Yeah, I can copy/paste from my non-gmail email application too. Mine is AOL, but really it should not matter... that's weird it doesn't work you... lemme try something...
I just tried copying in gmail and it works the same as my other email...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bp.android.zarrow
maybe this can help you, it adds a possibility to have hardware copy/paste shortcuts
MENU+A -> select/deselect all
MENU+C -> copy selected
MENU+V -> paste
Thank you for the replies!
I figured it out. The problem I had was that I couldn't perform the copy function in the native email (not gmail) app. I managed to select the text with a long press, but there was no way to copy it to my clipboard... or so I thought. Turns out pressing the trackpad once the text is selected copies it!
And thanks for the app suggestion. I was rooting around the dev guide hoping to map the quick keys to cut, copy and paste. That would make good use of them
EDIT: Sorgo, I can't seem to download that app. Oddly enough I can't download most apps recently because the market claims my device is not compatible. This happened not too long ago. I'm on CM7 #220 running 2.3.7. I thought it was because I had changed my resolution in my build.prop file, but even with a default build.prop, I can't download a thing. Any suggestion there?

I managed to download Z Arrow. I will test it out tomorrow, thank you.
I went back to my default build.prop at 240 lcd density and cleared the market cache. By the way, neither of this two things alone ever worked for me, but together it seems to do the trick and fix the incompatibility issue I mentioned earlier.

Is there any app thats equivalent to iphone's irealsms. I really wish i could reply to txt without closing the window thats currently open.
Also, I could send a quick txt by hitting the volume button on iphone that was really convenient.
And lastly, could send txt without having to unlock the screen.
So far, rooted the phone and LOVE it. Everything is awesome for me except for the txting feature. Thanks in advance. (I did try searching btw)
Try contapps.
Market Link
try chompsms it has a pop-up just like the iphone and you can setup how you want to reply also it has a quick SMS function that you can long press the search button to create a new SMS its what I use and love it.

Exactly what I was looking for (chompsms) Thanks!!
I lied, almost perfect. Or is there some secret way to send mms on it too?
Handcent does the same as well. I prefer it over Chomp.
i use GO SMS Pro, simply the best
Now that I've tried all 3... There's things I like about each one but also things I dont' like.
I think Chomp fits me the best though. 2 things to make it perfect for me would be to get rid of ads(easily done) but more importantly, be able to send mms in the quick compose bubble. Otherwise, Thanks for helping me find something almost perfect!
on pretty sure if you long press in the entry feild it brings up a menu for attachments

***nvm dont know what happened but was able to download the app just now maybe an update? more lol***
Hey what's up guys. Not sure if this has already been discussed but I was wondering if there was a way to activate the pop up browser without actually clicking on link. As many of you know we are somewhat limited on the applications we can use in split screen mode. But I noticed if I already have pop up browser open I am able to navigate to almost any application on the phone. It would be great to quickly look something up while already in a game or in an app that does not support multi window.
Any ideas?

Yes, I downloaded this and I'm positive it is exactly what you are looking for. It DOES work on my t-mo GN2 without a problem

here is a news post about it as well. http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...er-without-clicking-links-on-the-galaxy-note/
it is in pure apk form(simple dl and install) and will create an app. You could launch it without clicking any links, just like you would launch the stock browser.
I am 99% that is the one i downloaded and it works perfect for me
