Here's a challenge for you guys, on the Motorola Q screenlock is enabled by hitting "Home" then "Space".
This is better than the usual hold and press "End" because you can screenlock during a phone call and put the phone in your pocket while continuing to talk.
Can anyone figure out how to remap screenlock to "Home" + "Space"?
Thanks in advance.
I have another problem, coul someone tell me how can I make that when I'm writing a text, after pushing the central button, it makes the same as enter, and I want to disable this feature. How will it be possible, if it where?

During a call or anywhere you can press and hold the z(*) key to lock the keys while in a phone call. I us it all the time.
Coming from a samsung Vibrant on t-mobile, i'm SO used to having a "search" key and a (long press) "voice command" key. I use voice commands at least 15 times a day. I know with these phones, you can long press "menu" and the search key will come up. but is there a way mod the long press "back" button where the "search" pops up?
or if not that, even replace the menu long press "search" function and put in the "voice command" function
and i'm not talking about s voice. i'm looking for regular google voice command.

You have to be rooted and use custom ROM. See if you find files under /system/usr/keylayout/ and edit them as text files usig Root Explorer - make a backup though!

i think you missed this part of my post:
"or if not that, even replace the menu long press "search" function and put in the "voice command" function"
I would also like to find a way to remap the buttons but so far i haven't had any luck with the remapper apps, and im not feeling brave enough to start messing with the system/usr/keylayout stuff. If you use a replacement launcher like apex or nova you could set a gesture or double tap to bring up the voice search function, or create a shortcut with bettercut or anycut apps and put it on the homescreen. I know its not what you want but maybe it could hold you over untill there is a solution.

Hi, first thing, this is my first Android phone and I understand I should press the back button to close out of apps rather than press the home button. So this means if I have been surfing for a while, I have to press back, say 20 times, going backward through all the pages I've visited, until I reach the first page opened and the browser will close.
I know I can press home to close, then press the right menu button to bring up the recent apps and swipe the browser away, but isn't there a better way to close out of programs? I thought maybe holding the 'back' button would force close it but it just brings up the browsing history.
2nd: I'm finding that some programs do not go into certain 'folders' while it goes into other folders, what is causing this?
Thanks.
On cm10 or any custom rom actually has the option in developers options to "long press back to kill app" if you don't have that option the only way is it press the home button hit the recent apps button not the menu button and swipe it away. How is that hard? Its much harder to do the same task on iOS.
Also I'm not too sure what you mean by the folder deal can you take a screenshot and upload it here. ( hold power + volume down.)

The browser is a unique case where you don't have to back out. The best way is just close the current tab, or all tabs you have open, to close the browser. You don't go 20 pages back for browser closing. But for all apps yes back button is the best way to close apps when you're done.
Lol wow... I do that all the time and completely forgot thanks.

Hi Guys,
I grabbed a S4 Mini recently and need to find a way to stop it powering off when it is in a protective shell.
I have a Pelican i1015 for the phone that it fits into, however the power button on the side gets depressed when the case is closed.
God knows why they put it there.
Is there any way to stop it from powering off on long press if the screen is turned off?
Cheers
You should be able to remap the button default action with the Xposed Additions module installed.
Thanks! will that stop it for powering off when long pressed though?
No, it won't (if you want). You can set or disable actions for click, double click and long press of hardware buttons, separately for screen on/off states.
Hi, i just updated my phone to Nougat, and i miss the feature of long pressing the recent apps button that gives me a menu button (MM feature?). Is it possible to activate that again? It seems to be replaced with split window feature. In addition, in the display settings, in the buttons section enables the menu button. Does that only show the menu (three dots) button on apps only? (has nothing to do with the capacitive buttons on the phone?)
Thank you for reading this, look forward to a reply
Before Nougat:
Choose from the options: Always open recent apps. Press for menu, press and hold for recent apps. Press for recent apps, press and hold for menu.
After Update:
Display options - buttons- menu button
holding the button on the right to open up split screen is a feature of nougat.
I knew of the feature to hold the button down to bring up a menu, but im guessing it wasnt widely utilised, hence its removal.
There may be a way, using root, to change what the button does, but I wouldnt know how. Someone else probably does though.

Hey thats a bummer, i loved that feature! i not really fond of the split screen feature, its not really that useful to me.
Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully, ill flash a custom rom on this phone soon.
This is bull****! They could at least give us a choice of choosing what does the button do. Now I will have to install a custom rom to get back that menu button
Can someone who has a Twitter account describe this menu button issue to Graham Wheeler or Mo Versi ?
We`ll get a better chance of them fixing it then.
