[Q] Problems with vibration on Froyo builds

I don't know if I am the only one but on the Froyo builds that I have loaded on my Samsung Captivate there seems to be an issue with the keyboard. When I use the keyboard it either doesn't vibrate or has a less noticeable vibration (Haptic Feedback) on the key press.

Yea all of then are like that just go into the keyboard settings and change it

This is a known issue on allot of the froyo builds. Good news it is not just you, bad is no real fix for it.
I think all the other improvements out do the loss

I believe haptic feedback on the android keyboard is broken on froyo.

[ZIP]Front button disabler for Honeycomb

Introduction:
This mod disables the actions of the capacitive front buttons on the S7. Honeycomb has the soft buttons on the statusbar so the capacitive buttons are redundant. The S7 is one of the few tabs to officially recieve Honeycomb after product launch and hence one of the few HC tabs to have capacitive buttons.
Unofficial ports of HC to devices do not count.
Requirements:
Any HC based rom
Clockwork mod
Installation:
Download Button disabler.zip
Copy to 'sdcard'
Reboot into clockwork mod
Flash zip
Finished
Notes:
Button enabler.zip is also available to revert this mod, flash in the same manner.
Do not attempt to manually flash this onto a 2.2.x based rom, it will work correctly which means that you will not be able to exit any apps and essentially render your device useless until removed. (It cannot be flashed onto a 2.2.x based rom regardless, the installer will silently fail)
I do not know how to disable the LEDs under the buttons, they are disabled in an entirely different manner, open to suggestions
If you can think of a really good use for the front buttons, I may make a mod for it:
Keep in mind the button map is global, you cannot easily make it have app-specific actions
Because of this I would recommend against having it launch specific apps
If you wish to modify the buttons yourself, the file location is: system/usr/keylayout/ATA2538_capkey.kl

Thanx, man. Will give it a try. Sometimes those buttons get annoying for ex. when you hit them accidently while playing a game

Awesome! Now if we could get the lights disabled my streak would be perfect!

Not sure if this will help...
The HTC Flyer is a GB device that got an OTA update to HC also. In their thread on enabling their buttons this post mentions how to turn on and off the lights for the buttons. Perhaps it will be a useful hint to disable them on the Streak 7.

Capacitive buttons in HC

It's not, the s7 HC kernels dont export flags to allow you to change the lights.
The S5 and possibly S7 3xx kernels exported flags so you could easily play with the values.
The only way would be to modify and recompile the kernels, the HS kernels might have it exposed as I've bugged DJ_Steve about it previously, but I use the stock kernel.

Thank you man! it works

Is it possible to remap one of the cap buttons to make the streak screen sleep/wake?
Where would one find the script for the power button to copy to the mentioned key-mapping location for say the capacitive home button?

[REQ] Softkeys for ICS

Now when we have nearly fully working ICS on our HD 2 I have one small request which is connected with the software buttons! Ever since I first installed Android on my HD 2 I am using Button Savior to operate with the phone ut since ICS already has software buttons I think it is not necessary to use third application to operate with the phone! My idea is if some one could modify the stock buttons and make them 4 in this order from left to right : home, tasks, back and power off! I will be very grateful if someone could make this possible! Thank you in advance!

AOKP ROMs have this already implemented, you can add up to 5-6 soft buttons I believe, and you can customize them with swipe actions and custom icons as well.

most ICS rom has softkey now, just try rom from Tytung or Xylo
and there also thread about modify soft key here.
make a search you will find

[Q] Replacing kindle keyboard with ics or 3rd party keyboard

Hi, apologies if this is already being discussed - could not find a thread on it. My new goal now that I have voice search enabled is to get a keyboard enabled that would enable dictation entry of things like emails, not just search bars. I've heard of NookColor tools being used on other versions of the kindle as a keyboard manager, and I'll try that out myself but I wanted to see if anyone has already had success here using that or some other way. I'm wondering, would any version of the ICS keyboard be a go?

There is some discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898390
I have tried Go Keyboard, SlideIT, and SwiftKey 3 Tablet. They all could not display properly when I went from Landscape to Portrait Mode.
Be careful, this is an area (Changing default keyboards) I have seen a higher number of Bricked Kindles.

Same issue. In landscape the nav bar renders over the keys making it difficult to hit the P using hackers keyboard + android layout. Still worth a shot tho.

The first thing I would recommend is for you to download alternate keyboard application from the Google market.

You can download Swype Beta at beta.Swype.com. If you are using Dolphin be sure to switch to Android mode, or it will not download. Swype Beta uses Dragon dictation and its the best out there. Period.

I use touchpal, downloaded and installed from play store, which seems to work fine. But I use the tablet in portrait mode only.

Upgraded Keyboard
I just tried the Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich Keyboards. Both worked great in the Portrait Mode, as soon as I switched to Landscape, the keyboard split in an unusable fashion. I will continue to test different keyboards.

I've been happy with the "Hacker's Keyboard'.

I got go keyboard working. But when you switch to landscape mode you loose letters on the right. But there is a build prop edit that removes the home button bar at the bottom of the kindle. Then you can use button Savior application to get your home button and back button back. The thread is in the themes and app forums

[Q] ICS status bar menu for Froyo / GT-PT1010?

Hi!
I've been searching all over for this and couldn't find anything... I have a Samsung GT-PT1010 (forgotten device) which can't be upgraded to ICS and I'm not inclined to upgrade it to Gingerbread. However using imitation ICS settings app and the Go HD Launcher makes it pretty usable.
Only thing missing is the bottom-left corner Back, Home, Apps Running buttons! Does anyone know of such an app or maybe some mode of customization to imitate these buttons? The device in built buttons are simply inconvenient.
thanks for any pointers!!!

Hi there,
I have kinda the same problem with my P1010 but for a different reason. My capacitive navigation buttons have started to die, so I decided to use something called Button Saviour. You can customize it to look like the navigational soft keys on many different devices including the stock android and HTC style buttons. Hope this helps!

I will check this out, thank you!
