[q] Power off app/widget ?

Is there a APP that allows you to switch off the phone instead of using the hard button on the side ?
Example: A widget - when pressed switches off the phone.
Something similar to Quick Reboot but a power/shut down app.
Thanks in advanced.

Anyone ?
yay or nay ?

i have found yhis app:
Reboot Control Widget

I believe Switch Pro has that feature. But you need root for that.

No option for shutdown.

try quick boot works for me has options for
reboot, recover or bootloader.. but not shutdown

there are a lot of apps that do reboot, Toolbox, toolbox to name a few that i actually have, but that's a good question for the shutdown.

Hmmmm, I searched high and low and found one hopefully, over at android forums. Gotta register first then i'll have a look later.

I also saw that thing on many chinese android tablets ... volume button, home button back button ...

Why to do that if you have dedicated keys? It was created to bypass only one key on iphone.

Thank you for your replay ...
On iphone i know the "lack of keys" problem ... But chinese tablets have all keys ... and also the shortcuts in the status bar ... I only want the home shortcut, because it's more comfortable to press on the touchscreen than on the button ...

It could be ported but other users will see no point in that

I thought it was already ported for some other devices, and somebody would know how to do it ... Thank you

For those who need this solution I suggest the app Home Button on Play Store, it puts an icon on statusbar to go to home screen.

Wtf is this shortcut that keeps popping up.

Seems like every day or so I get this random shortcut as well as a notification to download some app of the day. I can't figure out what's making the notification/shortcut. Any ideas of what it can be? I posted a pic and you can see the shortcut in the middle of my home screen.

That must be an app you have downloaded. Some of them have auto run when android loads, and then they 'push' a notification message (ad) , or put a shortcut on your home screen. I used to have an MP3 Downloader app that did that. There is an app in the market that disables the auto run from these apps but I forgot what it was called.

I figured that was it, just don't know what app it might be.

Download Adpush (I think that's what it's called) and it will scan for spyware-ish apps like that and tell you which one is doing it.

thank you. apparently it was an n64 emulator. i uninstalled it.

How do you disable capacitive buttons on Jelly Bean roms?

Alright here's the deal, I got the semi common problem with these phones of the search button freaking out occasionally and I know about the cypress.kl file mod that works on ICS an GB but if I do that on JB noting happens, I love the Hellybean rom but I can't use it with my phone popping up the search thing every 5 seconds. Thanks.

I have exactly the same issue with my captivate. I didn't find any solution yet.

Yeah I've gone as far as opening every file in that keylayout folder and deleting everything about button 217 or the search button but all I can ever manage to do is either break the vibrate on key press or make it so none of the buttons work including my power button

A minimalist lockscreen, translated to english. Unlock the screen like flipping a page. Nice and clean animation, shows what MIUI can do.
