I tried doing a search but I honestly don't know what to enter--tried button layout, android controls, etc--no dice.
On the Touch, it used to be that if you held the camera button down, it took you straight to home. That does not seem to be the case anymore. Can anyone tell me if the Touch has a way to do that now--and if not, how in the world are you getting out of the browser without losing all of your progress? Task Switcher doesn't seem to allow me to choose my home screen, and if I switch to something else and then exit out of that, my browser is waiting for me, like the sneaky bastard it is.

if you aare using an nbh that has the task switcher built into it, then you need to only hold the camera button for a second for home.
tap - back
hold for a sec - home
long hold - task switcher
Awesome! It's going to take some getting used to, but this is a huge help.
Now if I could only figure out how to install themes...

go to how to install an update
Some ROMs are configured with the Answer key as some kind of headset key, so you can use it to answer/hang up/play/pause. This could be quite annoying since you can accidentally hit the button when you have the phone in a pocket.
This "app" clears your playlist, so hitting the play button doesn't do anything. Instead of using volume->pause to stop music you just pin the app to the homescreen and tap on it. To resume you'll have to go back into Zune and start a playlist.
Update 2011-09-01: I've updated the xap package to support Mango. I've also removed all unnecessary permissions from the app manifest.

Thanks m8, will check it out
Great job, the app does what it is supposed to do, but...
I get an error about DRM-stuff etc.
It works, but it would be great if the error cold be lost
Sounds good, I have this problem with my current ROM (Back to the Future v2 Mango ROM) as I did with the previous one. I think that I like the use of the button but just wish it didn't work while the phone was locked. I found myself restarting the phone to clear the music so nothing was playing just to get around this issue.
I'm updating my Windows Phone Developer Tool to 7.1 Beta hoping that this will enable me to sideload XAPs (currently I'm on dev tools 7.0 and it isn't working). I shall report back if I can actually install this XAP and if it does what I need it to do. Thanks for creating this
Damn, the XAP installer isn't working for me (Tom's XAP installer 1.2) despite updating the Windows Phone 7 developer tools. I now read a reset of the device once getting to build 7720 may resolve this issue but that would mean setting the phone up again Oh well, I'll try the app as soon as I get to the bottom of the XAP issue.
It's a good idea, but it keeps crashing with DRM error after doing its job.
Regards

I've updated the xap in the first post. It should now support Mango.
I figured out that resetting the phone would allow XAP installation so got around that issue last night when I completely wiped my HD2 and flashed the new v2 with updated radio onto my phone. I was hoping I wouldn't have to reset after spending ages setting the phone up but never mind.
I can confirm the new version of this app does exactly what it says on the tin I had issues with the older version as already reported when running on Mango, the new version works with no errors and clears the playlist which prevents any resuming of music from my pocket (running build 7720).
Thank you Ooije
One thing that pisses me off, if Im done listening to a podcast or a song when I press back and go back to the homescreen, if I change the volume the Play Rewind and FastForward buttons are all still there.
When I am in lock screen they are also all still there. (Sometimes I hit end button and then the play button gets hit on the screen in my pocket)
Is there anyway to get rid of those buttons, like closing the zune player so its not running in background even when you hit the back button on it.

That's exactly what this app does . I just tried it with a podcast using build 7712 and it's working properly. Since you wrote in this thread I assume it didn't work for you? If so, which OS version are you using?
New version works great! Error which I reported earlier is now fixed! Now let's hope that Microsoft will implement such a feature in a next update.
Excellent job Ooije, works a treat!
Its good to have the functionality of the hard button, but better to be able to switch it off!
(I recently had Prince-U sexy MF start when at a client's house!)

This is excellent. Thank you.
Wonderful app...
This is a great app, exactly what I'm looking for...
Can't understand why WP7 works in this way in the first place?
I created this app for my own use because i feel that i misclick the recent app button quite often while playing some landscape game like vainglory which is quite annoying.
This is a very simple application, it would be straight to use it, click on the disable button to disable the recent app button or click on the restore button to restore it.
Note** after click on either of the 2 button your phone will be reboot immediately, so please save your work before proceed.
Note** This app required root.
Installation guide
1) Download the apk and the rar file.
2) Unrar the rar file and extract the whole folder to the root of your internal memory.
3)Enjoy
Awesome app! It totally ruins the VainGlory game on my phone and tablet when it reloads. I wanna start playing on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320) but this doesn't work. Any way you could figure out how to get it to work on a 5.1.1 stock Google rom?
Thanks again
Hey Dude!
I'm making a game and was wondering if you could share how you implemented this.
It would be sweet to be able to amalgamate this function directly into the game,
Cheers!
I seriously need to disable the function of recently used apps. I can't even make a call or text while it keeps changing to the recently used app and it minimize and maximize few times. I don't need this app. This is a Samsung A310
Um you guys do realise that the game tools can disable back and recent keys?
Help
Hi, I do not know if this post is still active.
I'm having a problem, my galaxy s6 flat recently started to constantly activate the recent button.
I have tried everything to disable it, when I comment "#" on the 254 APP_SWITCH key line it deactivates all the buttons, including the power button.
I do not know if this is a sansung problem, but I'm desperate and I can not find a solution.
Is there any possibility to disable or put a new function on the button?
sorry my bad english, I'm using google translate to communicate
tks
When you hold the menu button it opens the google search. Is there a way to disable this? Or at least change the button delay time.
Settings/apps/advanced/default app settings/assistance and voice input/assist app
There you can change it. Probably the "deepest" setting on the phone :silly:
I set it to turn the screen off Btw, with an app called screen off and lock.

Apologies for revisiting an old thread but this was the only place I found this solution.
Might be common knowledge for some but I wanted to highlight for other Huawei owners to try this.
In particular, this works also for a Huawei Y6 2017 !!
[NB: system is EMUI 4.1 on the MYA-L11 version of Huawei Y6-2017]
I recently bought my dad a Huawei Y6(2017) and installed easy-to-use apps for basic functions but the smallest delay in releasing the home button (maybe 1/4 sec or so!) was opening Google Search -- this was potentially going to drive hime crazy -- exactly the type of thing that would make him give up on his first smartphone!!
Being much more used to stock Android settings, I just couldn't find an option to stop or disable the long-press of the home button
tldr; As per the instructions, I set the buried option "Assist app" to "None". Job done.
Many, many thanks
I noticed while setting up an 'alarm' that there is no sound. Has anyone else notice this? I went into settings and still could not make any sound. Any suggestions would be helpful.

What ROM version of Pie are you using?
DU v13 Pie, sounds works with no issues at all. For any sound to work the media sounds must be install. Did you try playing a video or using the Web Browser to play sounds?

I have DU v13 Pie, tried a video and the browser, same results - nothing. Sorry (might be my age) but what is a media sounds and I assume its an app. Any good ones I should try?
Thanks for pointing out that I need to install some type of sound.

Update:
I Installed a couple of apps (VLC, Musicolot and a couple of others(since all removed)) plus I used to enjoy Crackle (Sony) it won't even start. Even tried to run a video from YouTube-nothing runs and still no sound.
Should I just start over again and re-install DU v13? And does that means all I have to do is just wipe everything and start with the steps on pg 1? Or is there another way?
From what I have seen so far on my tablet is AWESOME, just need to get some minor "bugs" work out.
HP_Touchpad thanks again for all your help.
quickly, erased everything, re-installed and now have sound. GREAT! Does anyone know of a good sound program for the HPTP? Now to get Sony Crackle to work.

Sound does work on all video playback, once you install the App, specially youtube, reboot the tablet as it may not work the first time is run.
For the alarm, after installing the Pico open Gapps go to sounds setting:
The default alarm sound is set to sunshower : is almost as there was no sound, not a good choice for alarm.
to change sounds
select it
select media storage ( do not select sounds ) it will not work
select from the list.
Attached are the screenshots.
Thanks HP_TOUCHPAD, but I cannot get those screenshots to come up??? Where do I select "change sounds" to get to the "media storage". I did install the Pico version, but I do not see "Gapps". So, I am really missing something here (sorry about that). I do have the Sound screen showing in your first screenshot, so hopefully I'm close. Again, I really appreciate your time on this.
_dave said:

Go to settings --->> Sounds ---->> Default alarm sound (sunshower) ***touch on it*** then a pop up will show to complete action using: select Media Storage and then always, on the next screen select the alarm sound you like.
Where do I select "change sounds" to get to the "media storage". I did install the Pico version, but I do not see "Gapps".
Gapps ( Google Apps ) if you install Pico is a variant of the Open Google Apps (Gapps)

When I touch on "Default alarm sound", I get 3 images under Default alarm sound; Currently set -Sun-Shower - Pixel Sounds; next is 'My Sounds' and finally 'Pixel Sounds'. If I touch on Currently set, I get "Sounds keeps stopping" with the following options a.) App info b.) Close app c.)Send feedback and finally d.) Copy crash log URL.
Also when this screen comes up, it sounds like running water.

That is because you already selected "sounds instead of Media Storage before" and now the app preference for sound is the Sound app and it crash, but there is an option to use Media Storage.

To fix it:
Go to settings and on the search bar on top, type Reset app Preferences.
Three results will show, touch Reset app preference ( reset apps )
The sound app will be reset, now go back to sound alarm, this time it will show an option select [ Media Storage ]
HP_TOUCHPAD, once again thank you. So much to learn. Is there a reference book or epub that shows some of these aids?

You are very welcome, if there is any manuals or reference books I do not know. I learn as I go, just found out how to do it and fix it. Customs ROMs have their Tweaks as not all may work as expected and then you have Android that is very fragmented, is all about feeling lucky and give it your best shot!
