Hold - back to kill current app - LG Optimus 2x

This is the main feature on that I miss, the possibility of killing the open app by holding back button.
It's a very simple procedure, and I'm sure that there's Tasker script to do this, but do you know any app that can do this on any rom? I don't have Tasker and don't intend to buy it.

Odp: Hold - back to kill current app
You will find it on cm 7 and cm10 rims.

which rom are you using? cm10/10.1 has this option
developer options > (scroll to the bottom) kill app back buton (turn it on)
back button has to be pressed for a while (second or two) to kill the foreground application...

Ow, I'm sorry. I was saying that this is the main feature I miss on stock roms; I always used this on cm. But what I find funny is that it looks a very simple work to do, and very useful also (e.g. killing that wrong app you opened before its 10s to open), but I can't find it on play.

I miss it too, along with the hold volume to change tracks when standby, anyway stock ics (dmx to be accurate) is much better than cm imo.

Volume question on stock ICS

Same on mine (and also on S2 ICS builds i noticed).
For some reason Samsung have changed the default ICS behaviour of linked Ringer and Notification volumes, and split them...but not given us a tick box to link them if we want.
There are many apps out there written for ICS that can split the volumes, but we need one that links them! Audio Manager for example which did a great job for me on GB, doesnt give the option on Samsung ICS to link (because ICS is SUPPOSED to be linked).
I find it annoying that turning my volume down by the rockers leaves my notifications blasting out at 100%.
Is there some kind kind dev in here that could write an app (or hack) to relink the volumes? Please. Pretty please.
Installed an app called "quick settings". once installed, the volume of my notification and my ringtones linked automaticlly. So sad that the only function useful of the app. Wasting space but no choice.

After you installed this, you do the volume +- in the app, it will +- your both ringtone and notification alart tone at the same time. Cant do the +- with the physical key though. Still this is the best way i can find so far.

Suggestions for me please

This is what I am looking for:
3d converter (movies too? haven't seen it...)
overclock
as close to stock as possible/very lightweight launcher so I can use SPB shell.
so far ARC looks closest to this, I just don't want to miss out on options I am unaware of.
Thanks all.
After careful trial and consideration, I decided to stick with 20p since I use this device for work. That said, I have tried every ROM available on that baseband. The winner is Mokee. Here's why...
4g does work.
Wifi works
No call dropouts/ lost sms/ ghost.
Killer interface
Fast as hell
I did not install gapps. I installed via market what I wanted. I like that market was included with nothing else.
Bluetooth works. This is the only ROM that connected to Wifi and bluetooth worked without editing.
Network connected without need of editing flex.xml.
Gripes-
3d is gone. however, the functionality of the ROM and speed of it outweighs the loss.
I have not tried any 3d apps, but having looked at the source, I don't see it being possible from this ROM.
Strange quirk I noticed, when charging by default the phone lags like hell. You can adjust this to your liking in the power configuration, which is far advanced from the default.
You need to install su for certain apps to work properly, and the integrated over clock force closes. As modders, we are not shy of these apps or setcpu. Use them. The kernel does not support above 1008, but I find with the power manager and setcpu on "performance" over clock is unnecessary. Battery life extends by single click, custom settings for the power manager is fantastic.
Winner. 8/10- if 3d worked, it would be a hands down 10.
Great job development team.

the only thing i dont like about Mokee Os is the echo on calls, is there a fix for that?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
i havent had any issue, but i also use the app called equalizer instead of dsp... maybe something to do with it?
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Glad you are enjoying your phone more with mokee...
You are correct that the 3d will not be able to work... I think pictures work and that's it...
As far as the overclock force closing I can't find what's wrong with that...
The rom is cm7 based so I believe other cm7 compatible kernels should work if you want overclock... but expect wifi bt and other radio issues... Swhy I figured the stock speed is more than enough...
I tried replacing the default superuser app but the rom doesn't respond well to that.. need to research that more...
I will be updating the rom soon to base off of the latest nightly so stay tuned...
Thanks!

3d camera works, maybe finding the string that enables the camera to function 3d will allow the integration to this Rom? I'll take another look into it. (Open camera, click on back camera option 2)

Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
3d camera is working in mokee, it switches the screen into 3d mode. Thus, it may be possible to integrate the 3d interaction.
If this is the case however, as it stands now, there is still an "on/off" ability for 3d. Using this Rom as it is designed now, in order to utilize the 3d it would need to be switched on at boot and would remain on until either the camera is switched on or off, or by full reboot from what I can see.
Any thoughts trek?

For the camera, yes. But only to view through the camera. Pictures, games etc do not work 3d

It could be a cm bug. Try to keep the volume at 75% or lower and see if that helps.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
Oh yeah o.forgot about that... if your volume is to high it auto shuts off... the lowering volume will stop it from happening...

Hold button when answering call

I keep on accidentally pressing the hold button when i answer a call. I have found solutions for other phones, but they do not seem to work for the O2X.
Does someone know how to disable our remove this button. Could it be changed with skin customizations?
If not, where is the app located so that i can try to modify it if that is even possible.
Thank you
Michael

I think CM7 has a setting for disabling the hold button. Should be in the call settings menu. I'm not sure though.

You have to decompile the phone.apk, it should be in there.
If you're lucky there's an entry to disable it in the bool.xml, if not you have to search a little.

Camera mod

Im not 100% sure if this is the right place for my post but i think it may be.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the camera settings to allow the power button to snap pictures and videos while the camera is opened. Its in the most convenient place and onscreen buttons i find a little annoying.
I feel like unless im overlooking something id probably need root access to change this (unless there are any apps out there that anyone would recommend).
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Definitely not in the right place (should be in general), but try Camera ICS in the Play Store. I haven't used it in a while, but if I remember right, there are HW button assignments (can't remember if that requires root). Also, Shot Control is a really great 3rd party app...
I chose the red pill... Now I'm in the mAtrix and I know Kung Fu... in HD!

In the settings you can make the volume button capture pictures. It set to zoom by default.

Okay i see it now! Thanks.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I kinda like using the volume buttons for zoom. Any idea how id be able to set the power button to snap pics/vids and still have the volume buttons for zooming?
That would be the ideal button configuration for this phone and a camera app and i dont see me necessarily needing to turn my phone off while the camera is running.
Thanks again!

Questions should be posted in Q&A section. Remember that next time. Moved.
Okay will do!

Also, i dont see the ics camera allowing me to change the power button functions. I only see more options with the volume buttons (a step in the right direction, but still not the optimal layout im looking for)

[Q] Hardware Buttons

Can the hardware buttons like back, menu, home , etc...can wear out if we use them more.... or using button saviour is a good idea. And anyone else is using button saviour app.
Is there someone out there who is having this problem?
And is there other app which is same as bitton saviour.

Don't know about battery savior but the MENU and BACK are CAPACITIVE TOuCH KEYS which WILL NOT WEAR.out. And yes the home button will deteriorate over time!

Or if your finger is in pain when you put it under more pressure than touching screen. :angel:
But using the Button Saviour we can save the home button a few, don't you think?
I have tried to use Button Saviour one time, but i hate it. I hate the virtual button on the side of screen, so i searched another way to save home button and i found the app "Home Button" like free on market (link below). This app runs like a ongoing on the notification bar. So if we need to go to home screen, just roll down the notification bar and click on the app. The best part, the app don't run on backgroud, so no RAM usage! It only run when we click on, and than it close immediately.
