Hi, any idea how can i switch from the volume buttons on the left side of the phone to brightness change ?? When i push the button above is more brightness, when i push button of bottom, then below the brightness.
Is there a special app, update or patch for this?
I hope that you understand what i saying.
Thank you in advance
(i'm speak dutch)
If you have any CM based ROM, a better alternative is to enable brightnes change by sliding your finger on the statusbar without pulling it down.

Hey everyone, I was using CM9/10 and I was absolutely in love with this option! It lets you move the typing cursor using the volume buttons. Unfortunately, I'm now using the official TW 4.0.4 ROM and it doesn't have that option. I really like the official 5 row Samsung Keyboard. The only thing that is missing for me is this option. Is there any way I can add it?
I found JellyBean Keyboard in the Play Store but it doesn't have 5 rows. I'm looking for a keyboard that has 5 rows and this option.
Also, not sure if I should open another thread or not, but there's another option that's really nice. The Expandable Volume Panel. A small button shows up when you increase/decrease the volume that expands the panel and enables you to control the volume of media, notifications, system sounds and ringer.
Those two options would make TW nearly perfect for me! I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows any program/mod that can do them. Thanks!
Edit: found an app called Volumizer. It's close to what I want but it doesn't have a shortcut on the notifications bar or anything. I have to open it manually from the applications menu or from the shortcut I created on the home screen every time I want to change the volume. It would have been perfect if it could be tied to the volume rocker.
Bump..

hi, is it any mod in cyanogen or stock for lg 4x that wake screen with volume or shaking or any other way? i searched and tested some programs but not works good and i think it must implemented in a MOD.

if its possible to shake wake, Dose shake wake drains battery?

it would be cool if someone can port Optimus G2 unlock method, tap screen twice to unlock.

It's an app though, not a mod, but it may work on P880

Our phone has back button on the bottom right side of the phone, thus making the phone use with right hand only very unpleasant, mostly in news reading apps where back button is used often when going back to the front page.
Is there any software button simulation app where I could position the back button somewhere in the bottom middle?

by adding some line (i forgot what it was ) to build.prop, u can enable on screen keys.
something like-
<something >. hardwarekeys=0
then, in settings (settings/system i think)
u can rearrange them...

It sounds good, I'll take a look into it. But I don't want to disable hardwarekeys, I want all hw keys and just 1 sw key (back)...
To enable and use Onscreen buttons...
@jazzh,
Yep, you can you can use on-screen buttons BUT it will take/reserve some part of your screen's display.. that's why I don't use it BUT you can give it a try..
Just download the app build.prop editor and add this line at the end of your build.prop:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
(make sure to keep an empty line at the end of your build.prop, otherwise you will get a bootloop)
To disable it, simply remove the line above or set the value to "1"
3 MORE THINGS:
- This is what it will look like...
- You can resize the on-screen buttons BUT that will require you to modify your framework-res.apk
- I just found out about this app.. this will allow you to enable or disable on-screen buttons easily but its made for Xperia devices, so I am not sure whether it will work or not...

i don't think it disables the hw keys. it just enables the onscreen keys.
Even better: u can use pie controls if u add that line to build.prop

Thank you all guys!
I added the line at the bottom and rebooted and... voila, soft keys are up and running.
Now, I didin't see anywhere not in the settings>system where these buttons can be adjusted. It would be nice if there is autohide option or something. Remember, I need only back soft key to be in the bottom middle or bottom left?
Then I installed pie control app, this works too but it doesn't have the option of autohiding softkeys at the bottom.
Is there something else I could try, I just need back software button elsewhere then bottom right corner and not all the time. Can it be achieved?
Thx again for helping...

No mate you cannot directly edit the on-screen button's configurations and functions from Settings.. you need to decompile and modify certain files in your framework-res.apk.. I guess it will be too complicated for you to do all that - so it would be better for you to not try it now and end up getting a bootloop (no offence)
The only reason why I don't use on-screen buttons is because of this only.. It takes up screen's space and there is no auto-hide option...
And which Pie Control app did you install? Give this is a try if you still haven't tried it... As far as I know, Pie controls only appear when you tap and hold on a certain part of your screen...
If you don't want to use your on-screen buttons then just remove the line from your build.prop or set its value to 1... And if you don't want your phone's capacitive buttons to light up then you can turn that off from Settings > Display > Touch key light duration and set it to "always off".. It won't disable them BUT it will not light them up..
I tried exactly the same pie control app you've posted, found it by searching.
But I also uninstalled it afterwards, pie is working fine but I can't auto hide soft keys at the bottom, so when pie is active and visible, soft keys at the bottom are also visible. Which is not what I wanted at the 1st place.
So at the end I commented the line in build.prop and reverted to the way it was before, cause A) space is more important to me, and B) soft back key is again on bottom right.
In the meantime, if someone runs into solution for simulating only back key with adjustable position... kindly let me know...
hi, 2 questions , not sure if this is right place to post,
- anyone know a torch app that is as fast as stock assistive light widget (the stock widget is 2x1, I want 1x1) ? I've downloaded lots but all have a small lag when switch on
-anyone know a way to light up soft buttons light (return button and menu button) when I have notification ? CM11 maclaw has this feature by default but I'm using stock , any way to get this ?

I just know that this feature needs a kernel modification, so you can use it only with patched kernels, not stock
I've been searching the internet for days, and all I've learned is that I DONT need an app to "change my volume to a preset level when the buttons are pressed." I need one of two things, and I need XDA's help to find them.
OK, I definitely know where to manually edit the script to disable volume keys (key 114 and 115) but I'd like to either be able to toggle them easily, such as with a quicksettings tile or widget, or I'd like to be able to say....press both volume buttons together, twice, to toggle them.
Why would I want this? The volume rocker is smack-dab in the middle of the phone, right about where my game controller clips on. I play a lot of games, and this is killing me. Thank you for your time.
The best temporary fix I have is to disable them myself by deleting their entry in keylayout. Looking forward to your guys' wisdom.
I don't want to sound like one of "those guys", but, Plz halp?

Found something a little better. Using gravity box xposed module, I've got "show volume panel" mapped to a custom nav bar key and disabled the physical volume buttons themselves for now
