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.

Oh I would love to know the answer to this! I hate that! I'd also like to know if you can change the autocorrect bar SIZE! The suggestions are HUGE!? haha.
Any other input? Thanks!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
you can enable the autocorrect, but disable substitute words, you can do that from the settings, input, then samsung key board, xt9 enable then advanced settings mess around with that

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.

Software Buttons

A couple of days ago I asked in the Q&A forum if it was possible to disable your physical back home and menu buttons and enable the on screen buttons like on the nexus 4. A guy named: UncleRipper helped me by telling me how to do it, so I want to share it with you guys. But all props to UncleRipper! For an example of how it looks on my phone see the photo below.
So what we want to do is enable the on screen buttons, disable the physical buttons, and stop them from lighting up everytime you touch the screen. I know you can disable this in the settings if you're on lg's software, but I am running cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly.
So first enable the on screen buttons:
open a file manager with root ( Solid Explorer or Root Explorer), go to /system and open build.prop (backup it!!):thumbup:
add this line at the end of the file build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
restart your phone.
Now you got the on screen buttons, you want to disable the physical buttons:
Use "button remapper" (search it on google cause isn't on play store) and assign "focus" to home, back and menu buttons.
The app is simple to use and the values to change are last in the list.
After the physical buttons are disabled you want to stop them from lighting up when you touch the sceen:
Prerequisites:
Root
SManager (play store)
SManager widget (play store)
Your phone
this script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iz6t5eql0w...tkeyscript.zip
First install the app SManager and accept the SU request.
Use a root file browser and move the script from the SD Card your system/etc/init.d folder
Go into SManager and locate the 2 scripts. Click on them and tap the little star button in the top left to make them a favorite. And click the little SU icon while your at it! (optional: click also on run on boot the gear near "su" command)
Add the widget to your home screen, run the script and turn off the display and then turn it back on.
If the physical buttons wernt visible id do this. But i find LMT launcher works great for when a can be bothered doing hand gymnastics to push the back button.

Yep, if the physical buttons went off, it would be good. Could You make it working? ;D
The physical buttons are disabled and they don't light up anymore, so you can't really see them anymore unless you take a really hard look. But hey, it's your choice rather to use it or not! I'm just saying it's possible ;D

Why on screen button? If your device have the physical key so use it.also on screen button takes space in screen.

Why not??
-you think it is beautiful and you like nexus software button?
-you apply the mod.
-you don't think that is great?
-don't install the mod...
i think that the software buttons are great and a 4.7" screen is very big. fill it with something...

Couldn't agree more!
I seem to be having trouble with button remapper. The only option that I'm getting is for the power button and can't seem to access the home, menu, and back keys for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Open /system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl and remove/comment three lines from the almost end of the file (those with VIRTUAL word). Works, at least on PAC 23.0/CM10.1, not sure if in stock rom will also work. Then use the script from OP to disable lights (I'll try to find simplier way to do it all).
And of course add this:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of /system/build.prop
+1 thank you I got it all working now.

[Q] Navigation buttons on custom ROM - Problem!

On stock v20a, the navigation buttons didn't turn on unless I was using them. Now, after I installed the Slimbean ROM, they turn on everytime I touch the screen. Is there any way to solve this?

nope, unfortunately. you can disable them completely, or turn them on whenever screen is on, but there's no jb mode, i.e. for them to light up only when you touch them.
Ok, thanks. Can you tell me how to disable them completely?
