Not sure has anyone thought of this, but is it possible to (probably possible with another kernel change, but also wondering is it possible to do it without) implement logo2search (ie. pressing on HTC logo lets you search)? I am wondering since I personally use Poweramp and there's no search button on the app so I used to use my search key which no longer exists on HTC One.

Hi there,, it seems a tricky one..
i remember when i hardreset my XdaIIi, there was a very convenient button for screen rotating juz on the lower panel of Today screen (together with bluetooth and wifi icon/button aside).
then one day i found the button simply dispeared...
i know i can purchase some third-party software which may provide screen-rotation plugin on Today....juz dun bother to do that and i believe the build-in one usua comes with the best compatibility.
some fd used to tell me that i might edit regidit to fix the problem..but i find the key value is set '1' for displaying screen rotation button on the Today panel, which means it is enabled.
i dun feel like another hardrest coz iv got many important info and soft on my XDAIIi.
Anyone knows what i can do?
Thrillions of thanks here in advance
if you try to use search you'll find more than 10 topics on this problem.
I was curious if there is an app that will, upon pressing and holding a key such as the PTT key or end key, would subsequently end all running tasks, lock the phone, and put it in standby.
If there is such an app would anyone care to enlighten me? If not, I think there may be a market for such a thing. I could be wrong, I've been wrong before and I'm sure I'll do it again soon.
I tried searching xda with google and the xda search and didn't get lucky. Sorry otherwise.
I must confess that would be very useful. Not being a programmer i don't know if its possible or not. Any ideas anyone??
I have not come across such a function and all I have been looking for is a utility that will allow another button to put my tilt into standby (I find it a little difficult feeling the power button w/o looking)!
perhaps we should ask WAKU (creator of wktask) to see if he can import that excellent software into buttons. He has all functions available thru wktask such as closeall/suspend and he can add lock easily. he hasn't updated as frequently anymore perhaps more people should donate
Ill email him, to see if hes willing to do it!
I, too, have asked about this type of functionality. I'd love to hit the power button or the PTT button and have it close all apps (except for those in an exception list) and put the phone in standby.
The last time I asked about this the best reply was someone suggesting that perhaps a mortscript could be written to do it. I never looked further into it.
its possible, but i have never maked programs for ppc =/.. if someone has an idea, or if it is like c/c++ i can..
I use the excellent and free AE Button Plus.
I have a triple press of the ok button place the phone in standby.
(I have a double press of the ok button launch S2U2 to lock the phone and turn off the display but leave the GPS running)
pjam
Its definitely possible. All the individual components have already been done: You can remap the PTT button, , some 3rd party task managers have "end all" features, and software like S2U2 can easily lock your phone. Perhaps you could rig some sort of script to run them all, or find someone to program up a less jerry-rigged version. I don't think that the app would be all that popular, maybe the script is the best way to go.
I am fairly certain I can do this with an action sender & using one of the keyboard driver shortcuts (Short_Power.lnk). I will have a go at compiling a small actions send proggie & seeing if I can compile the kill arguments into it. I can definitely get you into suspend or stand-by, it's the killing of everything else that getting me. So far I can't get both functions into the same key press.

The latest wKTask is pretty recent...as of 1/9/2008. here is the link:

is it possible to customize the htc keyboard ?
I like it a lot but I keep pressing the "settings" button.
Maybe it would be better to activate it with a long-press.
Then it would be useful to activate word predictions in all form you want to, not just where it detects a text-form.
is it possible some way ?
thanks
it certnainly is possible and you don't even need root. i know because i downloaded a custom keyboard from the Market named SerbianIME (i needed ščž characters).
thanks for the reply, but since I don't know how to do it I was asking here
thanks
The stock AT&T rom does this and I was hoping someone would know how to enable this feature on a cooked rom. I always end up putting my device in sleep when im typing anything. Ive looked through the registry to try and find where i could change it with no success. Searching also didnt seem to yeild anything relevant then again that may have just been due to the keywords i used. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
I would also love to know how to do that. It is really annoying when UI'm in the middle of texting and I hit the power button by accident.
I have seen a cab floating around here somewhere just after the tp2 was released, you should be able to find it with the search
i tried searching first but was unsuccessful at even finding anything related to what i was looking for. Not even someone asking about it. i guess i will have to think of some other keywords than landscape and powerbutton. any suggestions? i know its possible and its probably just a registry key
it's a good idea. Me also find that when writing to Querty keyboard presses power button. Could this feature be added to the energy rom.
well it could be added to any rom, but i wouldnt imagine NRG adding it by default. It could be rather bothersome to some people. I wouldnt be surprised if he added it to the addon folder for his roms if a few people requested it and sent him the cab to host. Then all you gotta do is put it your UC folder and it would be auto installed anyways. Anyone know if the keyboard mapper program handles the power button and could do this? id rather see a cab then using a whole app but at this point i will settle for anything i can get. mabye i will try it when i get off work
dang you really gotta choose the right keywords to get anything. long story short, found a thread with a link to another thread that had the cab. And it works great! better than i had hoped. disables the short press and you can hold the power button to bring up slide to shut down which has a sleep option. but if ur in landscape u have to hold the power button to get it to come back on. there are multiple profiles thats just the one that works best for me. give it a try:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546094
find the program:
hAndy Power button
It's a tiny little CAB that does 1 thing.... disables the button when keyboard is open
works great.
I'm trying to find someone to develop a simple app for me that will utilize the physical buttons on the side of the watch. I've been told that it is not possible to access and remap those buttons to other functions within an application, but I'm hoping to get confirmation one way or another on this.
