Switching ringer to vibrate

How do I make the phone silent and make it vibrate? I swear I think my phone is missing the instruction manual.

I know I can go into settings > Phone and make it vibrate from there , but is there a quick way to just make it silent if i go to the movies etc . ?

you can click on the speaker icon and move it to vibrate.
or download vibraswitch and assign it to a button

Hi
You can also tap the little speaker icon in the top right of the screen and select the vibrate radio button. This mutes the volume and activates the vibrate function.
Hope this helps.

Here is a cab for Vibraswitch if you are interested.
You can install this on your Kaiser and then go to Settings>Home>Buttons and assign one of the buttons to Vibraswitch. I assign Button 6 (Hold) so I can put the phone on vibrate without looking at the screen.
Hope that helps.

Wow thanks you guys are very helpful here. I am starting to like this forum.

Glad you found some help. I've been lurking here for ages and have decided that it's time I gave back some of the help I've recieved here over the years...

I also had one more question but figure I might as well ask here instead of make a whole new thread. I am trying to install the mini mozilla fire fox browser, but when I run the CAB, it says installation unsuccessful . Any idea on what I am doing wrong? I downloaded the cab right from the firefox site.

I couldn't get mine to run either...
So I just use Opera mini until the new Opera Mobile comes out.

I thought there was a version of vibraswitch that would toggle thru:
sound on - vibrate - mute
I have been searching for it, but I can not find it. Does it exist?

Right soft key

Hi i have a kaiser on Uk orange. the right soft key says 'Go To ...' ttry as i may i can not change it at all. i have tried FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx, Key swop, Advanced Config and even editing the registry at Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\today\keys\113 (where they have two extra keys called 'mem1' and 'mem2'.) however whichever method i try the key always resets itself back to 'Go To'
Does anyone have any ideas how i can try and change it at all?
Cheers

Thats strange, I always use advanced config for that and its working like a charm.

if youur on orange chances are youve got that crappy side bar on. go to settingsstart - settings - today - go to the second tab laballed ITEMS then untick the orange item. when you go back to your today screen contacts should be on the right

Yeah that did it cant believe how long it has taken to find that out, however is there any way i can get the sidebar back (not necessarily that one but an alternate one) as its really useful to have that stuff on the screen.

Aha! I follow now, after a cup of coffee and youre explenation its all good
About the HTC Home, no I dont have it in my corner. I have some modified Diamon style tweaked for some of the dialers but havent made a cab of it since there is floating several around in here already. I might whanna have a go skinning one if I come up whit a kewl idea though. I am working on a SPB Theme atm (well not now, vacation atm. But will continue that project once back home), after that I have planned to make a cab/guide whit a nice theme for ultimatelaunch. And I also have promised a icon pack and some animations and on top of that I am eager to get back and work whit Leo on future projects. So it is kinda tight program for hobby timeline, but if you got a certain wish you could request it in my corner and who knows what happends from there and out

cool. it was just to show edblack in the right direction

OK can someoneplease help me find this app??

The first issue I have no screen shot of it... Sorry
But I do know this, it was on either SimpleOSManila2d or Phoenix ROM.
Here is my best discription...
When you are in a call (connected) the on screen buttons where slightly grayed over and there was a button (slider) you had to slide down to basically reveal the buttons so they could be pushed.
If you have seen this you know what I am talking about...
My question is this, is it a app (cab) someplace? Or is it part of the ROM?

Its a version of phone canvas, you can find it pre installed on some ROMs. Here is a version by PDG that you can just install, and it looks great! The cab file is in the zip!

i installed this and it doesnt seem to be kicking in.. any additional steps needed to enable it?

Did you soft reset afterwards?

did that right before u posted it and its good now, thanks

Word to the wise...it's always best to soft reset after installing a new program/app/cab before posting issues...keeps you from being flamed...

Applications menu. How to display all the screens at once.

hi all. It's has happened to me a couple of times already. I don't know what I did but suddenly I could see all the screens of the applications menu at once. Just like as if I was editing the home screens.
The thing is...I've been unable to do it on purpose and it's driving me crazy. I'm on jpk. I hope it's a really stupid question and someone will enlighten me soon
Forgot to mention: touchwiz.
I purchased launcher pro but I didn't like it that much.

Hi,
If Im not mistaken I believe what you are trying to do is as follows...
Press the menu soft touch button on the phone
Press edit
Now you should be able to see all of your home screens, etc.
Is this what you meant?

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
No, that's not what I meant. If you press edit when you are at the home screen you will indeed get a general display of screens as you suggested.
My question is: if you are looking at your applications, (home button-application shortcut). There must be a way of getting to a general display of the screens. Because I've been there twice.
I, for instance have 3 pages of applications and today, when leaving my phone on the table I hit something and there it was, the display you get when editing home screens but with 3 pages of applications shortcuts.
I'm just asking if anyone knows how to activate that display. I guess I'm not really good at explaining myself since english is not my mother tongue.

I don't know how to edit our if it's possible with taptalk so I'll answer myself.
Murphy's law just became true once again: right after you post you find the solution: just zoom out, neat.

Now i want to know how u did what you did... Lol... Can u explain?

It's the pinch to zoom feature in the application menu that's on the froyo ROMs.

Oh... Lol... Thanks. Im still on stock 2.1 so i cant play with the froyoie goodness just yet... Hope the official rom comes out soon...

Yup. Pinch to zoom. Useful.

I got it. Flash aospCMod or CM7 (has long press volume for media next/prev while screen is off) then get app "button remapper" and remap your phone key to media_play_pause with state wake (works while screen off), then in cm settings allow quick unlock with whatever button you want (menu,trackball,etc.) For fun you can also "freeze" the dialer and other apps so the OS won't operate them, use titanium backup. Turn off data in settings. Let me know if you need more guidance.

hmm i think i see what your saying...your saying do a fresh install of aosp so that i can get into it and change the settings.. sound about right? hmm food for thought a fresh flash would land me having to touch the android to start set up
edit...nvm im a dummy...just dont flash gapps..lol
...ill paint a picture what im doing... i have a very nice stainless steel plate ive made for the dash in a mud toy that im going to mount the phone behind and just expose the screen and track ball..from the im running it to an amplifier...ive run this setup before in a jeep...the hero is permanently mounted in the dash..lol..sounds goofy..but just a toy..and the phone was free with upgrade when i got it...just dont have the touchscreen part on it anymore...

what ROM were you on before? Hope you have a nand backup...
I now fully realize your intent, and massive roadblock to get there. It should be doable, but maybe by someone with more time or more ability than I. You would essentially have to create and update.zip for YOUR current ROM so you don't have to wipe /data. The update would have to have the hard keys remapped already built into the ROM, which is not that hard. This way, since you would be flashing over, you would not have to go thru setup. And in theory once the ROM loaded, the key mapping would already be done. AFAIK nobody has ever done the volume long press but cyanogen, and since I/m not a fan of kanging and wouldn't know where to look, you would have to remap differently. Like phone key could be play/pause, menu could be next, home could be previous, etc. This is all theory, but it should work.

AWESOME! I just re-read the thread where I learned how to remap, and I forgot you can do this with ADB while in your ROM and then reboot, no new flashing Go read this awesome thread, thanks to Decad3nce >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
All you need to do is pull heroc-keypad.kl and make the edits to the keys you want and then push it back.

Hmm...sure would be nice if I could just remove the start up menu and the lock screen.. I figured out how to rename keys on my evo.. My issue is getting past setup and past the lock screen...thank y'all for the.help..im gonna.mess with this during my spare time...for now ill just use an old droid I have..also remapping of keys isn't real important since I can use track ball to navigate. Solution for getting past the setup menu and lock screen is my goal.

Seems there is an option in CM for menu unlock? Just thinking out loud, but that setting would be in some XML file I'd think so the setting could be changed in that and pushed back somehow. Definitely beyond me as to that exact process or what apk or what XML that would reside in.
~maybe I set it too high...

OT - did you say JEEP!?!? That's where the TJ in my name comes from.

lol, me too with the TJ, cool. #offtopic
@OP - If you go read that thread I linked, I am almost 100% that if you change the "state" of any of those to "WAKE_DROPPED" it will unlock the phone. Any sense ROM would have menu set to do that already, as well as any CM rom. As for removing the lockscreen and setup. The setup is an apk IIRC so yes you could, but the lockscreen is tied to the world clock AFAIK, so you wouldn't want to delete that. I found an app that disables it but only for sense 2.1. Here's that link:

i know on hero sense roms some of them u can press menu to unlock by default are there any like that on the evo also i found an amazing program for pc the other day its called "android injector" what it does is u can force install apks onto your phone simply by dragging and droping onto your sd card from a computer so no need to mess with adb or having to dig through a file manager on your phone.
i found this on androidandme.com, and heres the link.
