Hi guys, Im using Owains ICS KANG and found this cool tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450138 in the Nexus S Forum and would like to know if someone can tell me how to apply it to the LGP990? I want to remap the search button to the ICS recent apps button. I know that pushing the home button for short time results in the same action, but Im not using the search button anyway and I would like to have a quick acces to the recentapps, but like I said I have no clue how to do it!
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
After working myself into the stuff I found the solution myself , for the people which had the same issue, you have to edit the file "nvodm_touch.kl" in system/usr/keylayout. There you have to search for "key 217" and replace the "SEARCH" with "APP_SWITCH", tada you have recent apps on the search button .

good job , but cm9 you can hold "home" key for a moment, that will be recent task

Hey guys,
i need two mods for my new CM7.2 rom.
1) sms letter-counter. for example 120/149 u know? i don´t want to have another sms-app, b´cause the ori is the best for me
2) for ram-killing, in miui roms, i need only to press the home-button for a long time, than i can kill with a button the apps.
can s.o. create mods like this?
1) I'm not entirely sure but I think CM SMS app already shows you the counter if you are closing to the limit.
2) In CM Settings you can set long press back button to kill the active app.
Holla!
1. The CM app shows after 30 characters the the amount of characters, you can activate this in the setting.
2. You can bind the long press on the home screen to a specific program. I bind it to an autokiller, kinda like the same as in CM9 only less smooth!
Goodluck!!
greetzz..
Wyckson
okey, the problem with the ramkiller is done thanks a lot ..
but where can i choose the setting, that i can see the sms limit?
cannot find it
EDIT: Done! thanks!
hi, I open this thread to show you how to remap the G button, on the FOP rom it is assigned as a comma so it's totally useless, but all you have to do is using root explorer go to:
system\usr\keylayout
and modify the files "generic.kl" and "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" and search for "key 95".
On the "generic.kl" it will say something like insert comma, change that to one of this options:
APP_SWITCH it will make the g button open the recent apps
CAMERA well it's obvious it will open the camera
and on the "TWL4030_Keypad.kl" it will say "POWER WAKE_DROPPED", just erase that and type one of the options I said (you MUST assign the same option to BOTH files)
Hope it would be usefull ^^ I recomend using the button for the recent apps, since the camera can be accessed from the lockscreen and the camera isnt working right now
If you need to, I can make a CWM flashable zip to modify those 2 files, I didn't did that because this is way too easy to do manually...
Remember to mount R/w so you can edit the files
After doing that just reboot
You should mount r/w not r/o

A flashable file would be great!
You forgot reboot...neway thanks m8..it worked just fine :highfive:

I saw this one when trying to do this, and it is really weird the tutorial so I decided to do this one, also it only says how to use as camera and lock button... could you consider adding this to the FOP rom?

If you guys find it useful we can add that feature, but it is easy to add this feature, so if you guys want, you guys can add by yourself.

I know it's easy to add but the thing is that right now the g button on fop rom is completely useless

On cm7, you have to edit /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl - delete key 212 line and add key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED or the line about camera - save and reboot

My Power button is dead and i cannot turn on the phone manually. Ineed to use usb cable,enter the battery charging state and need to push the button frequently(hopefully it detect) till it reboot.Then i try to remap the power button to G button. still cannot on even at battery charging state... This phone is screwed.. wonder if anyone want to buy my phone.. haha..
My power button is not in the best condition too. First I remaped G button (key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED) and then I use SoftPower app to wake it because it even has sometimes problems to wake up with the remaped G button and I'm fine. OK that doesn't help when it's completly switched off but then it seems to work rather good and I nearly never switch it off anyway. I use AnReboot for some time, it is fast for reboot and good for getting in recovery.

Getting to the recovery is not the problem as i can use the adb command. The worst part is when i want to call someone urgently and the phone cannot wake the screen. So softpower app can help in these kind of situation? As when the phone is completely dead, there nothing we can do to turn it on as some people said that the power button is hardwire.
Yes SoftPower wakes my phone up all the time without any problem. I haven't even activatet the adminstrator, because it is only needed for turning the screen off and I use G button for that. (Need the search button for something else anyway.)
BTW if you remap the G button it even shows the power menu like you get it for long pressing power button (at least with some ROMs).
Thanks man, i will try that software. I just open this phone and found out that the usb port and the power button is integrated with each other. So, it's kinda hard to repair it.
Thanks.... I modify G Button as Camera and its working awesome on CM10..

And if I want both answering and ending a call with G button, how can I add that to the file?
Maybe for wake up and turn off the device too? I guess it's applicable for multiple actions, isn't it?

I tested it.I modify G button as CALL WAKE_DROPPED
With this I can receive the call but can't end call with G Button.
And also
Device wakes but can't turn off.

Hello,
is there any way to kill the current process by holding the back button?
thanks
Can't you just swipe it away in the recent apps menu ?
On stock and non-rooted rom you can only disable all background processes in Developers Menu. There's no way to set a hardware button kill action.
Would be cool to have a mod with "long press kill option" like in CM rom.

It kills most apps - not all of them though. Some are "swipe-resistant" for whatever reason.

Hi, I am currently using third party apps to kills, Its called gmd gestures which u can create a gesture that will kill process (Force stops the app but still u will receive the push notification) so it will not drain ur battery, u can also hide ur onscreen buttons and status bar where u enjoy th full screen real estate. Try it and u will love it

I googled this and it seems that swiping apps is pretty useless. When you swipe an app you just clear it from memory cache. So you will not get any ram out of swiping. But still, can someone confirm it??

I See this in the CM Rom in Developer Option
Hi, can any1 among yu guys make a mod for our SGSA to kill apps by holding back key. This is a very useful feature as if u r playing any game nd if it slows down yu can just hold back key to kill the running apps.
Thanks.

Its a lot more easier to make a Long press Menu button to Kill apps functionality. Because as far as I know, long pressing back button opens (and closes) Multiwindow - which we don't have but since the codes are still there, all those codes will either have to be removed or replaced by new ones to get the function you're asking for.
So, that's why to avoid all that hard work, I enabled Long press Menu button to Kill apps functionality on my ROM (Sami OS). If you're interested, then you can try my ROM or I can help you enable it to your current (stock based) ROM by yourself
EDIT: I think HarshJelly ROM has the feature you're asking for. Give it a try :good:
