Hello, this is my first Samsung device. I have one question that I can’t seem to find an answer for. On all my past Android devices, when I was done using the phone I could just briefly push the Home button to lock the device, not having to use the side button. Is there w way to set this device up to do that? Right now I have to continually have to use the side button, which to me in annoying. Is there a way to enable the home button (or add a button) to lock the device. I’m also using nova launcher. Thank you.

To open or lock the device just double tick the screen.
You can double tap on screen to lock or unlock...or you can use this floating button to have the lock option...

anyone no which to choose in the windows folder so i can set my left soft key to lock the phone??
thanks
Why not go to the options of battery status -> tools and DeviceLock on Wake up, check lock if display is off and vice versa.
Then all you need to do to lock is hit the power button, very effective.
Cheers
Matt
Or..
...get Slide2Unlock - search the forum for that
devicelock and remapsoftkeys ?

i never used this tool but it sounds good for your problem.
If you want to replace a softkey and you can't with this tool - use remapsoftkeys:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1060151&postcount=1 and you're done...
But what brings this button on the screen ?
why don't just push the hardware button on the right side of the phone and your display is out = phone is locked ?
IMHO i think it's useless
cause if the power botton for the screen is pushed on the side the wi-fi connection drops and it conects via gprs to msn so i wana soft key to push (quicker than the apps the lock fone through the home screen )
i just need to no which one in the windows folder would control that ??
thanks

Isn't it the DeviceLock-Tool you're searching for ? It's the same effect with
this app...the 'original' built-in phone lock - no idea where it is stored...
Hello everybody
i have a att htc tilt2 phone & the keyboard remapping software "RhodiumKbdControl_GSM" by tarkim works great on it,i remapped my PTT button to camera button so now whn i press my ptt button it opens the camera application,but i dont want this, instead i want tht in camera aplication whn i press the ptt,it should click the photo,now is this possible? if yes can any one tell me how to do this
Yes, possible. You can map any button to perform differently depending on what application is active.
You probably have your PTT button mapped with the parameters similar to this screenshot. And your "Run program" action is pointing to your Camera application.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The asterisk (*) in the "Rule" means that the action you specified will happen every time you hit the PTT button.
You now just have to set a new rule to specify another action that will only take place when the Camera application is active. To do this, tap the plus icon (+) next to the "Rule" dropdown menu. Pull your stylus out. Open your Camera application. Stick your stylus back in.
Then set up your new rule like the following screenshot. (You're basically telling your device to use the PTT key as the Enter key only when the Camera application is active.)
thanks alot sir,it works now but u dint tell me 1 last step but not a problem i figured out tht step by myself,u dint tell to change tht "sendto" from operating system to active window, but i did tht by myself,but thanks alot for ur help sir
Hi everybody, let me present you SpyKit, and app designed for taking spy pictures in a very simple yet powerful way!
The motivation was to address the main problems in most of the existing spy cameras: lack of polisheness and counter intuitive user interfaces.
Right now this is the only spy camera that works when you screen is truly turned off!
How to use it?
The first thing you have to do is activate it through the main switch in the upper right corner. You can also put a widget in your desktop for quickly enable it.
Then there two ways you can use the app:
-> Using your device buttons. (PLAY, PAUSE, VOLUME UP/DOWN)
By default all buttons are mapped to the Single Picture Action.
-> Using the Motion Detection feature.
By default motion detection is mapped to the Continuous Shooting Action
You, of course, can change this mappings at the settings screen.
SpyKit, by default, displays a floating preview which you can drag and resize as you like. It allows you to keep using your other apps while the preview is active!.
If you don't want the preview to be shown, you can disable it at the settings screen.

We are trying to make a good quality app and we would love to hear what you think what we have built so far, from new ideas to even translation things (we are not native english speakers).
Thank you all!
I'm about to install a custom ROM on my Pixel 3 XL, but before I do, I wanted to know if there was a way to get the Navigation Menu Button back in Android 10? If there is not a way to do that, I'll be opting for Android 9. Or are there any other alternatives that allow me to have the ability to access that menu? I use two older apps that both have that menu for my CCTV camera software and I don't want to give that up. Any help on this is appreciated. Thx.

I use gesture navigation with Vivid Navigation Gestures (OnePlus Gestures), which supports the menu button via gesture in android 9. Not sure about android 10 but worth looking into, if you want to move to gesture navigation. Used with Hide Navigation Bar.
google is trying to get rid of this... https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...utton-has-finally-been-retired-in-android-10/
Thanks guys. I'll check those apps out and see if I can get it working. Appreciate the help.
Hi. I've been using the tablet for about 9 months, and bought it with the smart pen when I bought it. I've found it quite useful for note taking. However, something that annoys me is that the buttons' function can't be changed in the settings, and only do soemthing different in the Xiaomi Notes app. Is there any third party app/rom/way to change the buttons function?
Key Mapper, you can find it on Google Play Store.

Record a trigger, press one of the buttons and set a new action afterwards.

Hello, there are times when I am writing (with the xiaomi smart pen) and I go to the bottom line (on the left side of the screen - approximately in the space of about 3 to 4 cm on the left side), it does not work. It is expected to touch somewhere on the screen more in the middle of the screen, so that it recognizes the writing, and I can go back to writing at the beginning of the line. How can I solve?
