Using "OK" Buttons to close apps?

The OK button only minimizes. Anyway to map it so it closes the open application? I know holding down the "X" button closes, but then I have to touch the screen.

Try installing the x-button application. I've constantly used the ok button to close apps with no problem.
I'm using black 2.0 and have never had to manually close apps since wm5.

you are right but i like the minimize function so i can minimize siriuswm5 and lock the phone so i can put it in an armband at the gym.

if you are on WM6, go to Start->Settings->System->Task Manager

AE Button Plus is what you want. You can map almost all the buttons on outside of your device to do what you want. One of the included options is to "CLOSE ACTIVE APPLICATION"
I've attached a cab, and below are the details on the application from their website
This utility extends functionality of hardware keys on Windows Mobile devices. It allows you to:
intercept almost any standard button: application buttons, WM5 SoftKeys, Volume slider, Action and even Red/Green phone buttons
distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and "long" keypresses).
remap each of the keypress events to "virtual" application button or assign them directly to one of the wide set of built-in actions.
As a result you may "convert" volume slider to up/down arrows, assign several essential application buttons to these "SoftKey" buttons and even assign your favorit alternative dialer to red/green phone buttons.
Current list of built-in keypress actions
Run Application
Emulate keypress of Enter (Action), Esc and up/down/left/right keys
Emulate standard application buttons
"Virtual Application Button"
Being specified as keypress action, "Virtual button" appears in standard Start -> Settings -> Buttons setup dialog and may be assigned here.
Volume up/down
Emulate Soft Keys
Close (terminate) active application
Switch next application
Alt+Tab (switch between two last applications)
Task Manager with charge level / memory summary info. Task manager may be operated with directional pad (up/down - choose application, left/action - switch to, right - terminate) or finger/stylus.
You may apply filters to hide annoying applications (e.g. Phone)
Ok/Close
Start Menu
Switch Display Off/On. Once you switch display OFF you may turn it back ON by the same keypress event or simply pressing Power On button.
Switch BlueTooth Off/On
Switch WiFi Off/On
Vibration mode Off/On (WM5 only)
Turn Off PDA
Soft-Reset PDA (Soft Reset)
Screen rotation
Go Online / Drop DialUp connections / Trigger Online
Disable "Power Off device if not used..."
Switch to Today screen
Clipboard operations: Select All / Copy / Cut / Paste
Memory Monitor
Battery Monitor/Uptime Forecast. It will show battery voltage/current/temperature if corresponding sensors are available
Current Date/Time
Pop-up menu with important AEBPlus actions. This feature is available in activated version only
Any built-in action may be initiated by shortcut calling aebplus.exe with corresponding command line parameter

You could go for the free and better working PQzII. AE was a bit temperamental for me. I use it in conjunction with Wisbar Advance 2 to minimise some programs & close others. There is an option to close with OK or see below for mapping the OK button.

Alt F4 under HW button
Hello, my solution is to map small application Alt F4 under HW key... I used for this application HButton, which allows me to map under one button n number of apps (for short push #1 app, longer push #2 app...), so I have under messaging button Messaging + Alt TAB and under IE button Opera Mini + Alt F4. Easy, used only 3 small free apps.

Looks really good.

sure so many apps out there, free and commercial, but quickmenu is one I use, simple and powerful, I think it's the best, give it a try. Install, run it once, and go to Options to checkk to use the OK button.

Well, that was great - AEB worked wonderfully for me. It was exactly what I needed - one button to open and close Bluetooth.
It was a headache specially with the password lock every 15 min, to unlock, open connmgr, enable bluetooth and the same for the reversal. Specially in the outside light where you cannot see the screen very well, typing the password to unlock was a disaster.
Now I only need to press power and press the button fro BT to enable or disable it.
Thanks a lot!

[REQ] Need a shortcut to toggle Bluetooth on/off

I am using a BT handsfree in my car. I need a quick method to toggle BT on/off mith the minimum of clicks. Ideally, on the home screen.
Any solution is appreciated, also existing apps/tweaks whatsoever.
The option to keep BT all the time on is not acceptable, due to many reasons eg. battery consumtion.
Thanx

Search for vjvolubilis. It's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255911

try ammars or panoshas action screens (search for them in this section of the blackstone apps)
work a treat - ammars action screen enables bluetooth with discoverability and panoshas just enables bluetooth

Hi!!
Try Launch Manager...its veeeery goood

you my use the previous tips or just get that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362115, simplest of possibilities....this cab add to your programs an icon which tapped make your bluetooth on and discoverable mode....tap it again and it will switch it of.

AEButton Plus will do what you're after. I have it set to a tripple press of the up volume button (double is WiFi toggle, single: Volume) but you can set it to anything, even a single press.

It's not actually only the toggle, it's a whole software to programmatically change buttons behavior.
Don't know what you mean with two files, all you need is a .cab file. Simply comy it somewhere to device (e.g. onto mictoSD per USB cable) and then start it in Windows Explorer.
During install you will get the settings window, where you can perform settings as I suggested above.

put the two files into a folder on your phone. mine are in a folder in program files on my storage card. then open up two windows on your pc. the first window with the the files in on your phone and in the second got to windows/start menu/programs on your phone. then just drag and drop with the right click of your mouse the bluetooth file. when the menu appears choose create shortcut here. exit all windows and go to your phone. you will now find the shortcut in your programs. hope this helps

rotate screen via button press?

has this been done, I have tried the gsensor programs and they work ok but not always perfect, for example you want to type a message first you have to wait till the program is loaded then rotate otherwise you have to rotate back and forth until the screen is how you want it. What I would really like is an app where when you press both volume up and volume down the screen goes into landscape(or long hold of end key but i think both volume would be better)
is this available? I couldnt find it anywhere.

Perhaps you could use MortScript to rotate and assign it by "AE Buttons" to longpress VolUp. Also thought about it - but had no time yet.
Espacially cause I need landscape only in my car and wanted to rotete it by "BlueStarter" & Mortscript. But I dont know how to automatically change back to "portrait" if bluetooth device is not detected anymore.

if you have Advance confiq you can assign a button to rotate the screen.
I have been using this as I didnt like any of the auto-rotate programs.

Hi because of your post I installed advanced config along with hd tweak and find my device seems more responsive after changing a few things which is great, so thanks for that. but I cannot figure out how to assign a button to change orientation what option am I missing?

Not too sure bout the advance config program, but this is wat i did for manual screen rotation:
settings --> buttons --> Program Buttons (tab) --> 2. Assign a program: select <Rotate Screen>
Now everytime you press and hold the "Call" key, the screen should rotate...

if your button settings don't have screen rotation as an option just follow these instructions: http://www.fuzemobility.com/enable-long-press-of-phone-key-to-rotate-screen/

Hi guys thanks for the advice, I tried what you have suggested but for some reason my long call press isnt recognized, no matter what action I tell it to take.
I fear I will need to do a hard reset to sort out my phone even though I only just flashed a new rom and put in all my settings.

I've just been trying this out and too cannot assign anything to the send button. No matter what I tell it to do nothing happens!
I'm currently running Dutty 3.7 rom.

PERFECT and no need for any advanced config

i dont have the "screen rotate" option too in my settings.
install advanced config-->start advanced config--> go to "screen"-->enable "show orientation settings" -->end adv config
go to start-->settings-->personal-->buttons--> and now you have the opotion "rotate screen"
after this you can rotate the screen on long press the call button.

I have the option, its just long press of call button doesnt register whith rotation or any other option I select

alternatively, install the small utility that I created so that I can choose the orientation mode from the button that I've mapped to.

Galaxy S6 Tips and Tricks

1. Double tap home button to launch the camera in under one second.
1B. Disable the double-tap quick launch in the camera options to get rid of the delay when pressing the home button. It's a neat feature, but makes the home button much more quicker. (Thanks to @B1aze)
2. Use themes to change the look of your phone (limited as of right now; will be more widely available in the coming weeks to developers/themers).
3. Go into your App drawer and long press an icon as if you want to move/delete it. The small circles with the red '-' sign will let you either delete an app (if third-party) or disable it (if built-in).
4. Hold the power key for more than 7 seconds and the device will reboot. Hold VolUp+Home+Power to boot into recovery. Hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot into Download Mode.
5. Whenever you want to take a "selfie", you can simply frame the image first, and then put your finger on the heart rate sensor under the LED light at the back in order to take one.
6. When downloading a large file (30+ MB) and you have LTE AND are near WiFi, activate Download Booster! Settings--->More Connection Settings--->Download Booster. It combines both your WiFi and LTE connections into one for amazing DL speeds. Stupid Sprint took this out :/
7. Notification reminders! Settings--->Accessibility--->Notification reminders.
8. Don't forget to claim your free 100 GB cloud storage with OneDrive!
9. Private mode... You can hide content from prying eyes, including photos, videos, music, web history, and such. To activate it, go to Settings--->Privacy and safety--->Private mode.
10. Do Not Disturb mode. Dare I say... Better than Google's implementation of "priority notification only" mode. You can set a schedule for it, who IS/ISN'T allowed to contact you while it's on, etc.
11. Screen Pinning. Go to Lock Screen and Security--->Other Security Settings--->Pin Windows.
12. Customize your screen grid (4x4, 4x5 or 5x5) by pinching in when on the home screen.
13. Developer Options.. To enable this, go to Settings--->About Device--->Tap "Build Number" 10 times and you will unlock Developer Options!
14. Make your device a bit faster by going to Developer Options and setting window animation scale, transition animation scale & animator duration scale all to 0.5.
15. When you are in an app (Chrome, Gallery .... whatever) and you drag your finger from the upper right corner to somewhere in the middle of the screen the app shrinks which makes it more usable with one hand. (Thanks to @derWolf_)
16. You can have changing lockscreen wallpapers by changing it in the settings and selecting multiple wallpapers in the selection box. (Thanks to @altimax98)
17. For those having issues with Snapchat videos, go into Developer settings (see #13) and uncheck Nuplayer.
18. For better results with the fingerprint scanner, register your thumb multiple times for it to be more accurate.
19. Screenshot by holding power+home at the same time or using palm swipe to capture (turn on in settings).
20. Direction lock... Settings-->Accessibility. New way of unlocking your phone.
21. Under voice wake you can use Svoice to set a custom phrase to wake up the phone directly to listening for a command. (Thanks to @benjmiester)
22. If you rest any registered fingers over the scanner, it'll light up which registry it is. Helpful is you need to redo the fingerprint. (Thanks to @hayabusa1300cc; post #13 for screenshot).
23. Really debloat your GS6 (no root needed!)
24. Cell standby drain? Go into recovery mode and wipe your cache, power off phone completely then reboot.
25. Go to the dialer, and press the green dial button. It will load the last dialed number. (Thanks to @Jrhoop)
26. Disable the capacitive lights with no root required! (A LOT OF THANKS to @Averix)
26A. How to disable capacitive button lights. (ADB)
27. The volume down button can be used to take pictures when the camera app is running. (Thanks @segag)
28. Use volume keys in default messaging app to increase/decrease font size. (Thanks @jambo89liam)
29. If you want to enable grayscale without going into super power saving mode, go to settings -> personal -> accessibility -> direct access and turn both direct access on and grayscale. Once you do this, a triple tap of the home button will toggle grayscale on and off. (Thanks @shappy0869)
Will be adding as time goes on, feel free to add your own and I will add it to the OP!

I read somewhere that the phone doesnt have that option unless you go into power saving mode or somerthing like that. This was one of the first things i tried doing at store but couldnt.
Why Samsung removed this option I have no clue, but it was a stupid one.

Has anyone figured out to disable extra sensitivity on the phone? I read its enabled by default but there's no way to disable it.

Ok I've figured out something with the fingerprint scanner. If you didn't rename the registered fingers then you may forget which finger is assigned like i did.
Well if you rest any registered fingers over the scanner, it'll light up which registry it is. Helpful is you need to redo the fingerprint.

That was implemented months ago my friend.

Launch Google Now by holding the home button

Here are two tips that I don't think have been mentioned.
First, battery life will be greatly increased if you enable wi-fi calling under Connections. Once enabled (and activated on your Sprint account, for free), your cellular radio will essentially be turned off and all calls will go over wifi. I have noticed this really helps extend battery life.
Second, if you want to enable grayscale without going into super power saving mode, go to settings -> personal -> accessibility -> direct access and turn both direct access on and grayscale. Once you do this, a triple tap of the home button will toggle grayscale on and off.

Almost at 30, keep em' coming

If you long press on a notification it will change a darker color then click on the white exclamation box and it will take you straight the notification settings for that app. Much easier than going the long way around.

[Progress][Interop][W10M]Trying to get Glance Screen working on unsupported devices

So uhmm I was trying to make Glance Screen to work on unsupported devices (in my case, a Lumia 535)... I got some progress to make the Glance Screen settings menu to show up something and not a blank menu but it just disappears right away after 5 seconds... Here's some screenshots about it...

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
by default the screenshot above will be blank, unless...
when you set this entry to 1, something will show up but not for long...
It would be nice if someone can give me some registry values related to Glance which can be found on:
Code:
HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\Display\Lpm
HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\GlanceProvider
HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\GlanceApps
HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\lpm
HKLM\Software\OEM\Nokia\lpmSDK
or somewhere else... That's the only glance screen related values I found on my mom's Lumia 720 running WP8.1/Lumia Denim
You can download Glance Screen's APPX here: http://www.7mb.nl/appx/glancescreen.appx
Just sideload it with device portal... Go to Settings > Extras after sideload and you should see Glance Screen there...

I know the screen itself doesn't support display memory (which is required for Glance Screen to work), but at least we can force it to work... The only drawback by doing so is battery life, I guess? Or nada? We still have some hopes to enable this feature thou by software thou... XD

display requires display memory... Regular LCD doesn't work, even AMOLED doesn't simply work considering how AMOLED works compared to LCD...
Long story short, supported devices will have an LCD or AMOLED with Display Memory to make glance screen to work...

I enabled dt2w feature on my 630. There is no support normally. Glance screen? Why not

two different things, and sorry no way to get glance working. there would be a possibility to do it like recent android apps/hacks if the system would be open like android, but that wouldnt be glance. instead it would be always active display which sucks you battery harder than *insertsexistjokehere*

What about enabling a onscreen navigation bar on Lumia 930. I really miss double tap on navigation bar to turn of screen.

What about enabling a onscreen navigation bar on Lumia 930. I really miss double tap on navigation bar to turn of screen.

It seems really nice that you didn't buy a L950 or XL one .
then you lose Double Tap , Working with Gloves , Flip to Silence and all other Lumia specific features
When we bought L950 we though a flagship named device (it only named a flagship) support the features that a f***** L520 , and 620 support them .also we know how to enable DT2W using registry but L950 can't write those reg values .

Well that is just messed up. My Lumia 640, has all this. I am really considering to sell 930 forward, and just keep 640 .

640 doesn't support working with gloves (Only it doesn't have it's option) maybe it supports with registry edits .

Well, on 630 we don't have double tap 2 wake and improved touch default. With registry, it is possible to enable them dt2w works but improved touch doesn't.
You can add these keys to try:
I'm on 8.1 currently but they work on W10 also.

Good to see , but these won't work on **** f****** x50 phone.
Shame on you Micro :crying:

I wish there was a way to enable something like double tap on one of the capacity key to turn off screen, like there is double tap on navigation bar...

There is a function to enable the Start button to wake the phone:
OEMs can configure the Start button to wake up the phone from the sleep state (also sometimes called the idle state). This can be configured on phones with one of the following hardware configurations:
The phone has a hardware Start button.
The phone uses capacitive buttons, and the buttons share the same touch controller as the display panel but use separate sense lines, or the buttons have a dedicated touch controller.

Code:
<Setting Name="EnableStartOnIdle" Description="For hardware start button, set this to 1 to enable start key presses to pass through the system even when system is Idle.">
<RegistrySource Type="REG_DWORD" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\KEYBOARD\EnableStartOnIdle" />
<!-- Value has to be one of these. -->
<Validate>
<Option Value="0" FriendlyName="Disable" />
<Option Value="1" FriendlyName="Enable" />

It won't work on phones with Touch start button as far as I know . It's for phones like ATIV S that have a hardware non-touch button .

Is there any registry settings to enable charging status (batery icon) on glance screen in Lumia 640? On 820 displayed, but on 640 only time, date and weather status...

Just install some BATTERY apps from Store.
