is it possible to add "ringer off and on" in the power widget from donut?
Maybe replace "sync off and on" which i dont see the purpose of it being there.
I would imagine that its not there because you can just press the button on the side of the phone. The power control widget is for controls that require several key presses to get to the function you want.
If you really want this feature though as a shortcut, you can always download GScript Lite, create a script to silence the phone, and then add the GScript shortcut onto your homescreen.

New Application Idea:
Physical button replacement Widget w/ assignable hot key and reaction.
You know how some speculate... Android probably can be ported to just about any device... and I say why not. But one problem I believe always exists.
Not all devices have the same button layout as standard current android devices.
Lets make a fix for that.
Please create a Physical button replacement widget with assignable hot-key and
reaction.
Requirements:
Android OS with widget installed and 1 Physical button minimum.
[ooops just realized there is a thread for app ideas... if mod wants me to move it there i can... sorry for inconvenience.]
Key Features:
-Devices with more than 1 physical button can also be assigned to.
-Widget becomes invisible but still on-screen when not in use (1x4 size) {similar to voice text's widget}
-Customizable reaction times or presses of hot button can be made
-Widget has Toggle for {[Contacts][Menu][End call]}
-Any configuration or single button press reaction can enable the home screen return and widget visibility
Application Scenario:
Android Assimiated onto an Iphone 3GS (OSX completely ripped out and Android ported on to replace it)
App is accessed through app drawer to set "Hot key-Physical button and reaction times" in this case "the home button", changed setting of widget to invisible unless hot key engaged and reaction times set
once set... back to desktop...
Long pressed on desktop... apply widget (1x4) to bottom of screen... invisible
Reaction of hotkey engagement.
Long press (3 sec hold) = (auto-home button/widget viewer)
Reaction: returns you to desktop home screen and widget toggles are now visible to see...
{[Contacts][Menu][End call]}
Of course Contacts acts like contacts app and menu, end call react like physical button scenarios
Double tap Hot-key = "Back button reaction"
Single tap Hot key = app menu button
I really believe if someone creates a widget like this... developers can hack other smartphone devices and assimilate other devices to run android easier.
Palm pre can have the single physical button now as hotkey.. etc etc too
This can translate future android builds to be simplified with less physical buttons causing more screen real-estate
Hopefully this can be a possibility.
All hail Android! Mwahahaha

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to change what the '+' button at the bottom of the home screen does. At the moment it links to the ad widget/program/shortcut option menu. but once you have your home screen all sweet you don't really need this. You can always just long press on the screen to reach this menu anyway.
I would like to customize this button to launch directly into an application, or perhaps a shortcut to a sound profile context menu.
Any ideas?
Like many others, I've got an issue with my power button. Thankfully, I can use the volume buttons to turn the screen on. I can also use the power widget option 'go to sleep' to turn the display off.
However, I would like to map 'go to sleep' to either a long-press of a button or a shortcut. Any ideas how I can do that? If needed, I do own Tasker.
Quick Boot - available in the Market.
That only powers off or reboots. I just want to turn the screen off.
Not 100% sure what you are after, but i use "screen off and lock" after my power button broke. It puts the button in the notification pulldown if you like, rather than having to have a shortcut, but you can do that too if you like.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That was it, thanks!
Hi. My power button starts to cause problems and sometimes I have to torment to bring up the menu (profiles, screenshot, reboot). Is there any way to create a shortcut to the menu? Eg "1Tap Quick Bar" app creates a shortcut, but only to reboot (even without the choice standard/CWM). I searched all activities of system apps but found nothing. As a last resort can I map the camera button as power one?
Just go to market and type "Shutdown Menu". It has everything you need.
OK thanks, but it solves my request partially. I need whole power menu with screenshot and profiles
This will allow you to use the Convenience key as Mute Switch it will mute all your sounds (notification, ringer and alarms)
Prerequisites
Sound Mode Tasker Plugin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nick.mowen.soundplugin
Button Mapper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
MuteAll.apk = attached to this thread (This is just a Tasker task I wrote and exported it as an app)
Steps
1) First download all the files and install them
2) Go to Settings -> Convenience Key -> Hit "Clear" , then go home
3) Open Sound Mode Plugin and click Setup Sound Profiles, be sure to copy exactly what I did (case sensitive) or else it wont work
make 2 profiles
silent
unsilent
Note: its up to you if you want to silent all 3 volumes or just a specific one just adjust the slider
4) Open Button Maper application and click Add Buttons
5) Click the + (Plus) Icon and hit the convenience key, it should now detect the convenience key
6) Customize the key, I have mine set to "Single Tap" then on top select "Applications" and look for MuteAll
7) Exit the app and try your convenience key, there might be a few seconds delay sometimes but it will work
You should see "Silent Mode" or "Normal Mode" flash on your screen when its activated / deactivated
Enjoy!
