[Q] Stock ROM Task Swicher?

I installed CyanogenMod 7 after I got my Inspire, but I miss the notification bar task switcher which came in the stock ROM. Does anyone know what this switcher was called? Or instead, can someone recommend some other task switcher which displays in the notification pull-down? I am using TaskSwitcher 1.21 in the meantime, but I really liked how the original one worked (from the notification bar).
Thanks!

to my knowlege, no way. it is part of sense. And you cannot get it on cm7

Thanks for the replies, folks! I was aware of the hold-Home-to-see-recent-apps, guess it'll have to do as a replacement.

cant lock "default launcher"

Hi all..I am using launcherpro plus, and after I get my phone all set up....everytime I select the home button, it takes me back to stock launcher, I have even set the home button to do nothing when pressed, and it still sends me to the default stock launcher, can someone that uses launcher pro help me with this?....Thanks in Advance....very weird deal.....

Did you clear the default home? Set launcher pro as default?

all i did was launch home switcher app, and click on launcher pro, and choose set default...is there something I am missing?...thanks a bunch...Dirtylarry

Do it the old fashioned way, just to be sure.
Go menu > settings > applications > manage applications. Find HTC sense, then go in and click on clear defaults.
Hit home button, select the launcher you want, making sure you have ticked 'use as default action' or whatever the option is.

Update: I cleared the defaults in the settings/applications/manage/htc sense/...but when I do that and hit the home button(which normally would ask which home launcher to use), the phone fast reboots, and comes back to htc sense home stock launcher....hmmm.....

Hmmm indeed.
I'd try reinstalling launcher pro.

Try installing another launcher to see if launcher pro is the prob, or something else

Camera button

Are there any apps where I can use one of the volume buttons to act as a camera button and take the picture?

I wish we had a way to route the volume button to take pictures.
I don't think there is any app to do this.

CM7 usually opens up that functionality. Hopefully that comes soon.

Certain roms I believe have this feature. Look in settings then look in system then go to hardware keys and see if your rom has the ability to create a short cut to the camera through custom actions. Or see if you can assign short cuts through settings. Certain roms will allow this. Also , you can look in the play store and see if certain camera applications have the ability to assign short cuts. This is possible. You will have to do some searching but I believe certain play store camera applications will allow this. Also you can try the application "quicker" it allows camera and video short cuts.although I'm not sure which keys. Just take a look. I'm sure there are other apps like quicker available too. It will just take some searching. I Hope this helps you out. Best wishes.

You guys do realize that this thread is over a year old? I think it wouldn't be too hard to modify the camera.apk to take pictures with the volume key. Someone did something similair for the Xperia Play, with the shoulder button instead of the volume button.

How to change HOME button app list delay.

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything related.
In later versions of Sense, the home screen app list is becoming the preferred way as apposed to recent apps in notification bar (which is my preferred way). But it's slow I think. There is a good 2 seconds before app list comes up after I keep home button pressed.
Is there any way to decrease this delay?

Oh btw, I'm on a custom rom, rooted, s-offed, the whole nine yards.

I want to know this too. I searched a bit, but did not find anything.

Mods, could you please move this to general android development or mods section?

I also need to know if it's possible to reduce the time between pressing home key and app list showing... On Android 4.1+ the "switch" button is very useful and instantaneous. Maybe there is a setting to change in some configuration file?

My Apps Play Store

This might be a stupid question but.
I have 4.2.1 now on my HTC One S thanks to Dark Jelly, but how do I get to My Apps, and My Wishlist in the playstore?

I'm not sure how that rom exactly works, but try holding down the recent apps button for context menu.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

Yea holding that down does nothing.
Might be a problem with the ROM, not sure. I guess I should post over there.
*yup, a setting on the rom.

Settings-- system-- hardware keys
From there you can set one of the keys to be a shortcut to the menu (long press recent apps key is what I use). Hope that is what you're looking for...
