[REQUEST] Ok.. maybe a wish. Volume longpress and hard buttons.

With the advent of Nookie Froyo and rumors of CM7 only one thing makes me Pissed off as heck. HARD BUTTONS!!!!! Of course, we could map the volume buttons for these things, but I have a proposal/wish (Since I can't program --_--)
Is there anyone who could make a app so that long pressing a volume button would bring up or lower the volume, and tapping them slightly would trigger the back button or menu button? Or vice versa?
I think this would kill our needs for soft-keys or any annoying launcher stuff. Just a wish. tell me if this is possible plx
or... double tap them --_--

I don't program either, but I was just thinking about alternative methods too, since I find soft keys annoyingly unelegant as well. I like the remapping of the hard volume keys for long presses idea. Another option might be to take a play from the jailbroken iphone book where Activator can launch programs or perform system actions with gestures (swiping in from the top, or tapping the volume indicator box after voluming up/ down, etc) - sort of like how swiping left on the nook status bar goes back or how swiping down the left side of the screen in fbreader changes the brightness of the display. Could be a system wide action where swiping left at the bottom if the screen regardless of if the status bar is visible would go back while swiping right would invoke the menu...

hmm.. well, I guess I'll just have to stick with soft buttons for now. {presses the nook color home button to death}

Several Apps That I Use...
Have gestures that allow the functions that you folks mentioned. For example, Aldiko has a great brightness adjust by swiping down one side of the screen, and Dolphin HD has a lot of gesture-activated commands.
I'm not a programmer but some bright dev out there might be able to come up with the appropriate calls to allow gestures for volume - what about a poll?

[Q] Can navbar soft buttons be modified (PA)

I have the latest Paranoid Android on my note7000. I enabled softkeys on the navbar because it gives me the recent apps button which I find far easier than long pressing the physical home button. However now I have two home buttons (a soft and a hard) as well as two back buttons. I was wondering if it was possible to reprogram one of the duplicates. The feature I was thinking would be great for one of these buttons are the toggles (GPS/WiFi/BT, etc). PA already gives me all the toggles I need from the notification bar, but what I don't like about it is that I need to tap twice. The first tap on the status bar brings up notifications and then the 2nd tap brings up the toggles. It would be nice to have this as a single tap. If one of the soft buttons could be programed to bring up wigitzoid or other toggling widget that would do it. Or if there is another equally fast way to bring up these toggles, please let me know. (I prefer not to have to go back to my homescreen to get to the toggles.). Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Any way to reduce the size of the navigation bar?

I keep returning to home screen whenever I type too quick while pressing the space bar
This gets very annoying. I've searched for a nav bar to replace the stock one but then my dock apps get hidden behind my nav bars and the keyboard also messes up too.
Is there anything to reduce the size of the nav bar?

Why not remove the bar entirely? Just use the button. One tap for back, hold for home and swipe for multitasking.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not as far as I know. There are other options that can help. You can hide it altogether, which is how I have it. Loving it since day one. Or you could get it to hide in a floating dock. Or bring it up only on swipe up, I think.

I had a similar problem with a different phone. I ended up simply moving the keyboard up using the keyboards settings. Unfortunately I don't remember which keyboard app it was. I use SwiftKey now, and it lets me float the keyboard.

Too confusing. They should let you customise the gestures

Honestly I've removed the nav bar I just use the single button, finger print reader.
Tap for back
Hold for home
Swipe for recents.
Don't think I could go back to a nav bar now.

Any way to move the Apps button on the home screen?

it's stuck in the far right and as a left-handed user, i'd rather it in the center or more closer to the left. holding on the button wont let me move it or do anything. is anyone else experiencing this?

Not sure what you mean by apps button? If you are referring to the navigation bar then you can swap the recents with the back button
Just search navigation bar in settings

its the button on your home screen that opens up the list of all your apps

Under display in the settings there is an option to turn the app button on

yes, it's on my home screen but I am unable to move the icon around the bottom like my other shortcuts, which is my issue

What a pain in the arse, now just swipe up
Might go back to NoVA because of this

Slider appears on pressing and sliding on home button

Hi,
I just noticed that if normal navigation buttons are used a slider will appear if you press home button and slide to the right side much like the same way the slider of the Google pixel 3 in which we can scroll through open apps but the problem is this slider does nothing

Hi, in short - you are wrong... Yes, the slider appears when you slide your finger over the home button, but it does scroll through recent apps. There is another function also, you can slide your finger from the home button to the back button - it works like a double-tap on the recents button, try it.

Actually I was using task changer in good lock so I have different recent apps layout and it wasn't working there that's why I thought it was broken. Thanks for clarification.
