Is it possible to develop an app that will let us use the volume buttons as page up/down in Android? If you're interested in this feature, please post and maybe someone will work on this if we have enough demand.
Something like this....?

If you're just looking to do so in the browser, Dolphin HD has the option. I know certain ereaders do as well.

ButtonRemapper is close to what I'm looking for but it doesn't work for me. I tried it on both the X and Bionic.
I know certain browsers do have this feature but I don't want to be limited to certain apps.
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.
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?
Hello all,
I recently installed CM10 nightly cm-10-20121012-nightly-evita on my HTC One XL. pretty much everything works great and I am liking the experience. Now I am coming from older cm7 tablet background and very new to HTC One X and CM10 etc. What I find missing is a missing settings button in the applications that I am used to which helps me configure the app. Am I missing something or is there a new way to get things configured ?
An example would be a simple app called basic stock. I add a stock to it and can not add any more stocks because there is no settings button. On my cm7 tablet I am able to do it easily. Similar experience with many other apps.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Go to the settings app, when in there look for system and click on it. On the bottom it should say hardware keys, click on that.
At the bottom should be the setting for 3 button menu and I would advise to set another action with the home or apps button to bring up the menu with long press.

i always remap the keys and also enable the 3dot, i think these should be set as the default settings.

Hello Everybody,
Could anyone of you tell me how is it possible to have the voume controls in the status bar? During video visualization there is any chance to modify the volume from the Gui of the App (i.e. youtube).
I don't know why only the hardware controls are available.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Bye,
Paolo

Volume Control
Download and install "Volume in Notification" from the Play Store (Free). You have to click on the Status Bar to see the Mute/Down/Up buttons then.

First of all,Thank you very much for your prompt reply but it sounds very strange for me that a such basic control is not available directly in the application interface. I don't understand this choice moreover I've seen that other customizations (i.e. Mediacom) have volume controls in the system bar after return home and open application buttons.

It's such a basic control that there are even hardware buttons for it. Why duplicate that functionality in software? (except to spare the flimsy hardware buttons on the TF700)
What issues do you have with the hardware buttons Paolo? It's difficult for us to understand your problem as Asus provided not only the hardware volume on the pad but also on the keyboard as well.
I don't use YouTube (I deleted it), but its website has volume controls, so I suspect the app does so, too. Just not in the Android taskbar. Tried tapping the video to see if any controls pop up?
Most videoplayers have internal volume controls by swiping up and down on one side of the screen in the video. A third(forth, if you count the dock) volume control is both overkill and entirely redundant.
My issue is quite trivial, I know... it is matter of comfort during visualization, many times I'd like have controls directly on the Gui maybe is a choice specifically designed for portable devices as tablet and smartphone.
Thank you very much for your support in any case.

Hi, I attach a couple of screenshots where both YouTube website and app interfaces don't have volume controls. Is not a problem, as I told in previous messages is just matter of comfort during visualization because the tablet controls are partially covered by the case I added.

There is a simple app called "Volume in Notification" by Jimmy Hu available in the play store.
Actually there are few that do the same.
All it does is put volume +/- and mute down on the bar...works quite well.
I've switched to using the volume controls in Button Saviour - seems less intrusive...

Yes, that was me!
I just found that with the dock notification, screen orientation, Widgetsoid (for launching floating apps), and the volume notification, that I was running out of room...
