Hi,
im using the i927 with OsiMood-Rom.
Today its the second time, that my hardware keyboard behaves a bit strange:
- When I press "e" the Email App opens
- When I press "b" the browser opens
First time I got it "repaired" with a reboot, for now a re-open of the keyboard helped.
What is going on there?
That is not a weird behaviour but a feature. It's called "Quick Launch" and is started by pressing and holding the search button on hw keyboard plus any key in the hw keyboard. the "E" key is the default for email (press "Search" + "E" = Email), you can modify this in settings > applications > quick launch
Thanks, I mentioned that it's something like this but I didn't know what other button activates the shortcut or where to disable it

Like me, you might be using the "Search" button (either soft/hardware keys) to launch apps a lot.....most of the time, I end up pressing search plus the first character of an app i want to launch that results in pressing the two keys almost at the same time. That is how I accidentally discovered it....
I was like searching the "Email app" then I accidentally pressed the "E" key while the "Search" key is pressed then I went "How did this thing know that I want to launch Email?"
Press your search key again on your keyboard it is stuck. Happened to me once or twice. Quick launch is launching your short cuts that are programmed because it thinks you are hitting a 2 key combination. (Search and E)

hi, i know Jkay have double home key to launch one app that i can assign to. but only one app.?
Is there any other free app that can set up quick short cut key/button? like long press volume up/down key. i found Ninja Smart key, but it's not free, and you need to lock, press power key and press the screen before using the quick key. too many steps.
I don't use any lock screen and I always use the home button to wake my phone up.
Since official JB, the home button not only wakes the phone up but it closes the app I'm in. Example : I'm browsing something on chrome, the screen turns off bc of timeout, I wake the phone using the home button and I see chrome back but immediatly it closes down like if I had pressed the home button again (but I didn't). The same behavior does not happen when a lock screen is enabled.
I tried searching for an answer and tried the solution of editing the .kl files in system/usr/keylayout by adding WAKE_DROPPED or replacing WAKE with WAKE_DROPPED for every occurence of the home key (key 172) without luck. I tried fixing the permissions in CWM and I made sure the permissions are rw-r-r.
Running stock rooted with CWM.
Any other ideas? Thx!
I'm also curious about this. My temporary fix was to unfreeze S Voice in Titanium and then enable the double press of the home button to start S Voice.
I'd rather keep S Voice frozen and still keep the same behaviour of the home button in ICS.

Yes that does work indeed. However, it brings back the lag when pressing the home button. I'm also using home2 shortcut for some shortcuts and it completely breaks them!
The same problem arises also when you long press the home button to get to recent apps, if you have an app open in the background at that moment and you press the home button to get out of the recent app screen, it closes the app!
I currently have my screen set to turn of when not in use at 30sec. If I have say a browser window open, step away from the phone, the screen turns off as expected. When I hit the home button, screen turns on and closes what ever app I was using, in this case the browser window.
How can I set the home button to turn the screen back on, but not close the app I was using?
Thanks...
Hi!
I don't think you can reprogram the action on click on the home button using the Samsung's stock ROM.
You may have some luck using the Xposed Additions Xposed module -- I haven't tried it myself, but based on the description, it should help you achieve what you want. You will, of course, need to be rooted and have Xposed Framework installed.
In the stock ROM, the home button switches tasks away from any open app but does not exit your ongoing session within the app.
You can long press on home to pop a task list enabling you to switch back.
You can more fully exit any task using the (curved arrow) back soft key, but the task remains partly open on the home button popup unless you either flick it aside or use the "x" soft key to close all.
Short press the power button for a simple screen wakening.
