I have used this app before. . And its a wonderfull addon to the ui... But wen u double press the home button, you get the voice talk... And there is no search button for the galaxy note.. Has anyone successfully made it to run on the galaxy note..? If so how
Just downloaded this app, quite useful. WRT your question, I went into the voice app when you double tap the home button, then settings and disabled the option to launch when double tap home key. Now on one press of the home button brings up the power strip and then a second press takes me to my home screen.
Hope that helps

Thanx.. I didnt know that you could disable the double tap to open voice app.. I installed it and set it.. Wen i tap it once it opens the powerstrip and i have to tap again to go to the home screen.. Isnt their any setting on it so as to double tap to directly go to home without waiting for powerstrip to appear on your first click??
I've been a Power Strip user for quite a long time but then I switched to Wave Launcher. Does the same job but activating it is less troublesome for me (swipe up from the very bottom of the screen). Plus it looks better in my opinion.
search? press and hold the left soft button.

How do u set it up to use powerstrip?? Did u mean to long press the menu button?? I cant make it to work... How did u set it up?
Yup, long press (well, not that much, it appear really quickly). Btw I use launcher pro, but I don't think it's a feature of it (I mean, will probably do the same whit touchwizz or else).

Ofcourse I can lock the screen by pressing the power button (and having de XDA go standby), but I wish to lock the screen while listening to mp3's.... How can I lock the screen ? If I need a separate application, please let me know your suggestions ....

If you meant that you wanted to switch off the screen without putting the XDA on standby, here's how. Just assign one of the buttons to "Screen Toggle" when Windows Media Player is running. On the Windows Media Player menu, select Tools->Settings->Buttons. Then map one of the buttons, such as Button 2 (Contacts), to "Screen Toggle". After that, pressing the mapped button will switch the screen on and off.

I tried this 3 times and each time when I press the button (I assigned button 3- the camera button) I got a strange black and white flashing strobe on the screen which I couldnt get out of without a soft reset. Anyone else had this or knows how to deal with it?

Dunno how to deal with it but I can confirm that I have exactly the same issue. Screen Toggling does not work and ends up in a flash show that doesn't look very healthy for the display.
works fine on xda 1 running ppc2003 :\ any programs to make the screen do this automatically? say if i was to run tomtom gps?

Work's fine with my XDA2, no problems at all, I assigned button 2 to the screen.
no problem doing it for me with xda with 2002 rom 3.1804
Also works fine on my XDA II. have you tried using the Calenda/Contacts buttons to toggle the screen instead of the camera button? Just a thought.
try this nifty lil program i found on emule works great on pc2002/2003 i have jog button installed to my calendar button just press the button and the screens off press power button to turn back on very simple or hold my calendar button down and the calendar coems up
just transfer to your xda/pda and click it to turn screen off or toggle it to one of your buttons

Screenoff works perfect, but how do you manage to let the calendar button have a double function?
Found a prog cald jogbutton here http://www.yorch.net/downloads/JogButtonSetup.zip, but this doesn't seem to work on Pocket PC PE 2003.
job button works fine on ppc2003 i have it on my xda :\ just assign calendar or contacts to job button then load up jog button click on setup then apply it to the progs you want it to open.
prob i found with pc2002 with screen off is it doesnt come back on with the power button lol so here is screen on for peeps with pc2003 no need to install this if on pc2003 as it works fine on it
use button plus v2.0 from yorches site i find it better then jog button as it allows double tap buttons and doesnt go crazy when turniong screen off on tomtom 2 lol

I'm not withyou on this jog button thing bro. Can you talk us thru it again from the start. I have this program installed and cant get it to do anything. Much thanx...
install jog button then.....
assign either contacts or the calendar button to the shortcut in th startmenu so it starts up jog button.
then hold the button down you assigned it too....
you will see setup appear i nthe bottom left hand corner with the button still held in click on setup using the stylus then assign programs from within that menu its very simple to do :roll:
anyway found a better program its called button plus v2.0 download it from yorches site in the software section works much nicer
Hello everyone. I have searched and read and can't find either of these options. So if I've missed something my apologies in advance.
I know the phone has the option in settings under display to use a long press of the recents button to select menu. Does anyone know of a way to swap that? IE tap for menu and long press for recents?
Sent from my Droid Maxx
in for this too... cant get used to only 3 hw keys... since recents only has a tap function, im wondering how to map the longpress or double tap to open the MENU for an app.
Settings> Display. Check "Use Long Press for Menu".

I don't think, at the moment, we will have that option. I also hate long-press for menu since I never now how long to press it until it registers as "Menu". It would be nice for the menu to just pop up when as you are holding down the Recent Apps button, kind of like how holding down Home will show the "slide up for Google Now" ring.

Long press is something longer than a simple tap. If you enable long press as Shalal explained in another post, you can just hold the recent button for a moment & the menu pops up. Nothing particularly dramatic about it.

Well I'm just saying that I would like the Action Overflow options (if applicable) to automatically display when the button has been held down long enough, rather than requiring you to lift your finger.
Still, it would be preferable to have HTC's implementation, since, as it is, it's faster to just tap the Action Overflow button than to long-press.
Is there any way to change the capacative touch buttons, without rooting, especially the "menu button".
On my S4, the menu button did exactly that, open up a menu where one was available. And holding the home button would display open apps.
Whereas now holding the home button opens Google Now (I have the Now Launcher) and the menu button shows the recent apps.
This happens regardless if TouchWiz or Now launchers are used.

Yes. Download All in One Gestures here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
Go to the Hard Keys tab and customize them as you'd like. Tap the Plus button at the bottom to add the Recents key so you can customize it too.

So I'm able to get the home button to work as I want.
Just the "recent apps" button is still not giving me a menu button, as there is no option to do so in All in one Gestures :/

Sorry, but I wasn't clear. Did you try to long-press the recent button? On the S5 that opens menus...

On S6 long press recent button gives you split screen (multi-window) selections!

Well that's silly. I never use split screen, but everyone uses menus... O-well. Thanks!
Can any1 tell me where's the settings options to press/click when u r in a app or home screen? Normally just either holding recent or back button.
Are you talking about the menu button? That's been depreciated for a while. The few apps that still need it have an extra button on the navbar. Home menu stuff is accessed through long presses.

Damn, this sucks. Yes, 3 dot menu button. I have an app doesn't show menu button.
For home screen long press all those 3 nav buttons, none working. Except, long press home button, Google now pops up.

I don't know about the app. I suppose you could use something like Button Savior to create a menu button.
What are you trying to do with your home screen? Try long pressing an empty space to get launcher options.

Yep, thought about button savior. Not much options.
Shoot, wish there's 3 dot menu options available at all times without rooting the phone. Bummer.

Cant seem to find the setting anymore to press and hold the home button for the assistant.
Now I need to do that with the power button. Not sure if it was removed or changed, but I cant find it.
Any help?
Thanks

It's on by default on mine. Settings > System > Gestures > Press and hold power button.
Sorry I meant to say that I liked being able to press and hold the home button, but it seems this feature was removed?
Seeing how there is no home button anymore and Google is only focused on supporting gesture navigation, that sounds about right.

It's right there in System>gestures>System navigation>Gear icon next to 3 button navigation> Toggle hold home for assistant.
Thank you! I thought it was gone because the setting didnt transfer and couldnt find it.
I am not a fan of the gesture navigation
