looking for two different cabs

Hello
I am a new owner of an att tilt. I believe it is the same as the tytnII. I am looking for two cabs to install on my phone.
1) a cab that lets me assign a button to switch between vibrate, silent, and ring. I found vibra switch, but it does not include silent.
2) a cab or program that allows me to assign a call log feature to a button. I use the call log quite frequently on my old phone.
Thank you for anyone that can give a newbie a suggestion
Adam

both of those can easily be accessed without cabs.
1- if you have the htc home screen, just press on the symbol that looks like a phone with a music symbol beside it, and it'll give you the option of switching profiles
2- just click the green talk button and then press up on the dpad

want the button press
Thank you for the response.
I have not tried htc homescreen yet. It appears to have a large clock and a tab system of the today screen that I am not fond of. Am I able to leave the today screen basically like it is with that program?
Also I want to be able to map these functions to a button. The reason for this is for easy access while driving. I feel a button press and using the jog wheel is a lot more accurate and requires less attention.
Thank you

Is there a way to alt+tab like windows in xperia?

I find it annoying having to press OK all the time then going to task manager (which is laggy and have to wait for it to load up the running pprograms).. any light on this?

You can use a third party task manager like Showcase (free), and assign it to a soft key.
Also, AEButtons Plus has an Alt+Tab function that is assignable to many different keys. It also has a Switch to next app function.
I'm sure there are many others.

Showcase, Taskfacade, and Alt-Tab, any of which could be mapped to one of the little silver keys.

[REQ] Trackball Home Button

I think having the trackball function as the home button would be a feature many would like to have. Any developer out there willing to take on this function?

What would be the point of the actual home button then? This seems pointless

what would be more useful is if the trackball can be programmed for stuff then we can use it to launch apps and do all sorts of things.

I have 3 things for my home button now, Quickdesk on dubbletap, recent apps on hold in, and singletap for launcher pro. for me it would be awesome to have quicker access to the recent apps, by putting the home to the trackball. and have recent apps on single click. wouldnt hurt to have the option. and it should also be available to bind the trackball click to anything u like.

I agree, or trackball to answer a call, I don't use the trackball that much.

Creating a service to run in the background wouldn't be too hard to do. The only problem is that you wouldn't be able to use your trackball to select links in the browser, for example. Good in theory, wouldn't work great in practise i don't think.

Here are the reasons why this would be a great function, and how it should go down:
The capacitive home button is not as responsive as it should be. I think we all use it A LOT, so making sure it worked perfectly everytime would be awesome. Especially when accessing "recent apps" and long pressing the home button, the capacitive button will occasionally take you home before you see your recent apps.
Double tapping can be incorporated into the home button. With the capacitive button, double tapping it has an almost 50% chance of failure. The trackball home button would fix this.
I don't know about you guys, but I usually dont use the trackball to select things on the screen. Touching it is so much easier. The trackball would be much more usefull for notifications, scrolling, and as a home button.
I agree with a previous poster, the trackball should be given to option to route to anywhere the user would like it to... Though I don't know what else there is to route to...
The ACTUAL home button can also be routed to anything the user would like. Maybe to recent apps, changing of brightness, a favorite app, an alternate launcher... ANYTHING.
This is all hypothetical of course, and as a non-dev, I actually have no clue how hard or easy this would be to create.
But what do you guys think? I know this a feature that would be really useful to me at least, and sound like some other people too.

sorry, there was a double post due to the server upgrades/issues on XDA.

Sorry to revive an ancient thread.
My N1 had a broken trackball, and in the process of replacing it i managed to kill both my home button and my seach button.
I can live without the seach, but not without the home.
Is there any progress on this topic ?

Never mind, it was a software problem caused by an incomplete flash. (wiped everything separately, but that wasn't sufficient. Returning to factory settings did the trick)

All I want is trackball to blink beautifully for me!
That's all, baby.

+1
I would also like trackball mods such as
double tap to go to an app and other tap patterns for the trackball

Favorite Task Switcher?

I'm currently running VEGAn 5.1.1 (love it) and for tablets, even more than phone there needs to be an easy way to switch applications. Holding down the home button will only give you a list of recently run apps, not apps that are currently running.
Currently I'm using / liking MultiTasking Pro:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/multitasking-pro/com.tkdtnek23.app.multitaskingpro
Here's the free/lite version:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/multitasking-lite/com.tkdtnek23.app.multitaskinglite
I have it bound to the single home tap action. And have it set to show/start on the Running tab. If I double tap Home (either on VEGAn toolbar or GTablet soft button) it goes to my designated launcher (launcher pro). Ideally I'd like a dedicated button for it on the title bar, ala HoneyComb's status bar, but this works good enough.
I've used other task switchers on my phone that have image previews, like:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/visual-task-switcher-free/com.esdmobile.taskswitcher (haven't tested this one on GTablet yet)
but they tended to be glitchy and sometimes laggy, so I'm ok living without image previews .
Anybody else want to share what task switchers they may be using and what you like/dislike about them?

Check out smart taskbar

My task switcher of choice is Dock4droid. It's a slick, fancy way to quickly get to your recent apps. But you can also specify apps to stay in the launcher dispite not being recently used.
I've got it set to pop out when I swipe with my thumb on the right edge of the screen, It's sooooo slick!

I am using Perfect Task Switcher , it allows me to switch and close tasks. Have it setup to popup on long press of search button

I just tried all of these, and ended up uninstalling all of them. I dislike how most remove the ability to click home button and see a preview of your different home screens (even if you don't set single click home button as the task switcher button).
Smart Task Bar seemed good, but long hold search button doesnt seem to work with button savior, and I have my soft keys turned off

tried all, like Smart task the best...

[Q] how to re-route Recent Apps hardkey to become the 'Search' hardkey

Hey all,
I'm coming from 2 previous Androids that had the 'Search' hardkey on the phone. I really liked it, esp when used in context in certain apps like Spotify (to filter in Spotify, seems like I have to scroll up 700 songs in my Playlist until the Filter area shows up instead of just pressing the Search key like how i did be4).
Is there any way that I can get rid of the 'Recent Apps' hardkey, and reroute it to 'Search'/Filter.
I see Turbo isn't rooted yet, so guessing I'd need a non-root app solution?
I think I tried one app 'All in One Gestures', and tried to re-route single or long tap on the 'Recent Apps' key to instead 'Search', but that didn't work way I expected it to (it only goes to the Google Now Search webpage, and not the context of pressing Search within an app [and not leaving the app]).
Any ideas?,
Arian
Thanks in advance

Almost positive this cant be done without root.

Darn, I'd also settle for an app that does gestures... so a gesture that triggers what the non-existent Search hardkey would have done. Not sure if thats possible without root.

I miss the search button too
I used to have the Evo 4G and loved the search button too. I was disappointed when (I believe) ICS phased it out and switched to the three button approach. While it won't search within apps, you can launch Google Now from anywhere by swiping up from the home button. In my experience, it's pretty finicky with the Turbo's capacitive buttons though.

Swipe Home Button
There's an app Called Swipe Home Button. It lets you do gestures to activate certain features. OP should look into it, it may be what you're looking for.

If you long press the home button, you'll get the Google search swiping up... Or what I use is nova launcher and a double tap gesture to search.
Hope this helps.
