Does anyone know if there is a patch or app or mod that will allow the use of the Flashlight torch via the volume or home buttons on the phone. For example I would like to be able to turn the flashlight on by clicking the volume up and down at the same time or double tapping the home button. Some how turn the light on without having to unlock the phone and navigate to a widget.
Bump
I've used an older app on another handset called "button remapper". It literally does just that, but I'm not sure if it'll knock out the buttons original function all together or just allow both functions to run depending on the current state of use you're in.

Skynote rom has it built in, long press the home key on the lockscreen turns on the flashlight.

Yes, so does slim.

Thanks everyone for your responses.
I've heard that other ROM's had this feature, I was just wondering if there was a way to install the feature manually apart from a ROM as I'm currently running the Jedi X17 ROM and it does not have this feature.
I will have to check out button remapper.
Thanks again guys!

Since you want to stay with the Rom of your choice. You just need to install xposed framework, then all you need is the Tweak Box module. And your good to go!

The above sounded like a great fix, but it shows that I must be running Android 4.2/4.3.
Any ideas for how to remap the buttons on 4.1.2? I'd like to be able to do a long home button press on the lock screen for the torch and a double tap when unlocked for Google Voice Search rather than SVoice.

I'm running a bunch of xposed framework mods on my Skynote Rom. And it's 4.1.2... so not sure where you read that. But it should work with your device! Make a back up of what you have now. Then try it out see if it helps you problem.

lol, there is a learning curve with Swype. It's not just a pick up and use type thing, it takes some patience. Once you get used to it though its much faster.

A thing I've noticed when showing people swype, is that the faster a typist you are, the easier it is to learn swype. I type 120 WPM myself, so I have a pretty good mental picture of where all of the keys are.
This is why android is #1, customization.

Hi! On the GS3 in Ice Cream Sandwich, the power button could either 1) lock the phone or 2) simply turn the screen off without locking, seen in the "Lock instantly with power key" toggle:

In 4.1.1/Jelly Bean, though, Samsung or AT&T removed that toggle, forcing users to use 1) lock the phone; the entire option is now missing:
Do any smali gurus or ROM modders or anybody else know how to get this toggle back?

Nope. I have mine with 3 mins inactivity. And using power button or after 30 second screen timeout it doesn't lock immediately. If it turn it on within the 3 minute time period, it does not show lock screen.

Launchers can affect lockscreens? I'm on Nova and I tried the TW launcher: no dice on either.
Could it, though, be your ROM? I'm on stock. The Intergalactic v2.8 release notes lists "Many other tweaks..." at the end, which might include this functionality.

It's a known issue with the AT&T JB ROM. I've used Verizon and Sprint ROMs ported over to AT&T and the option is there and works fine. Seems like only by using a 3rd party app can you get this functionality back, unless someone had a mod that can be flashed.

I don't use Rootbox ROM so I'm not sure, but most AOSP JellyBean ROM should support long press power + volume down buttons to take screenshot, just hold both down a little bit and it should take a screenshot. Some AOSP ROM has settings to include screenshot in the power menu (long press power button).

Try ROM Control >> Power Menu (this is just a guess as I said, I don't use Rootbox). If it's not there, look in Rootbox setting. Also, it's power + volume down buttons, not home button.

I have been looking for a solution for this for quite some time. I am using gravity off right now. I just tried to change this file many times. I commented out Key 116 and put the POWER in key 115, the vol up, but that didnt work. I then tried to comment out all the POWER buttons in the file and replaced VOL up with POWER button - that didnt work. Then i reverted back and added the WAKE to the ends of VOL up and down, and that didnt work either. After all changes, i reverted the permission to the correct values.
Any one get this to work? Stock rooted GB27.

My D710 is driving me insane with the phantom menu button. Its so bad my search button has been going off at random too. This of course only happens when I am sending text messages, or receiving them. Which makes it extremely frustrating.
I know there's ways to disable these buttons. I do not have my phone rooted, and would rather not root it right now. I am still fighting sprint to replacing it with a different brand, but they insist on repairing it over and over again. If I root it, that will just give them ammo to deny my claims.
Is there anyway to disable the buttons on a bone stock GB27 setup?? Thanks in advance.
If you hold down the menu key. Search will pop up. So your search key is fine. The menu phantom press triggers a "hold" on the menu key at time thus, search pops up. There's a thread someone in the general forum that "fixes" the problem with the menu key.
EDIT: Unfortunately, the file to remap the keys are at system level, so rooting is the only way. You can temporary root, however.

No, if i hold my menu button down... nothing happens. But if i hit the search bar, search pops up.
I am having phantom menu & search buttons. My phone has a mind of its own whenever data is being transfered over the network. My daughters D710 does not act nearly as bad as mine does. Her's does phantom menu every now and then, but mine phantom menu & phantom searches EVERY SINGLE TIME. Unless i am at the sprint store of course.
Anyhow, I understand now that its not possible without root. When you say temporary root, does that mean just root, do the mod & then return to stock? Or is there some other method of temporary rooting?
Hmm.. On stock the way the keys are for me are the way I explained.
Anyway. When finishing running the exploit, you reboot, once the phone is booted, you'll have root. Once you finish editing the file, reboot. Once booted, root is gone. There's an app called frama-root for our device that let's you temp root if I remember correctly.

I sent my phone to Samsung twice for warranty repairs. They replaced the screen first, then when I sent it back they replaced the PBA. The problem never got any better, so I took it to my local sprint store where the tech was well aware of the issue. He replaced my screen (again) and it seems like the problem has gotten worse.
I will take a look at the tutorial you linked and see if i can make this work. Does that tutorial require me to root my device?
Yup, you'll need to be rooted.

Great, so I followed the guide and Disabled the softkeys, then enabled the Navbar. Seems like that took care of it, so far I have had 0 phantom keypresses.
I hate giving up screen space for the navbar. Especially when only the Menu button is at fault. Is there anyway to disable JUST the menu button, and leave the Home, back & search keys?
