[Q] Long pressing menu key doesn't bring out keyboard? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi. I recently installed an app called GameKeyboard that would replace the Android keyboard with a D-Pad and configurable buttons so I could play flash games made for PC. However, I was noticing that when I was in the game, holding down the menu key wouldn't pull it out. Then I switched back to the normal Android keyboard, and that doesn't appear when I long hold menu either.
My dad has a ZTE Blade and it pulls out the current keyboard selected when holding down menus, so is there an option somewhere that allows me to turn that functionality on or off, or is this just downright disabled in our devices?
Thanks for your time.

Depends which rom you are running I've noticed. Cm7 does it and has the option to enable/disable actions for software buttons. I can't remember about some of the stock based roms

Doesn't work on 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. Only seems to work on CM7 and MIUI builds.

[App] Sense 3.0 Lock Screen

For those of you who like/love the lock screen of Sense 3.0 then this app is for you. Its called Agile Lock and it has tons of options/settings for things such as changing the font of the lock screen, of course being able to have the 4 app shortcuts on the lockscreen just like Sense 3.0, and much more. I spoke to the dev/one of the devs behind this masterpiece (Bo Zhang) and he seems pretty cool and he said if I/we have any ideas to help improve this app then feel free to email him @ [email protected].
This app can be found in the Android Market by typing in "Agile Lock". There is a free version and a paid version, but I definitely recommend buying the paid version.

Why doesn't it work? Try emailing Bo and tell him. I'm pretty sure he'll make it work. He seems very understanding. I emailed him about 2 ideas and he said one of the ideas will be implemented in the next release and the other will be in the one after that. I just finish emailing him. He's awake!
Edit: I just caught on to what you said. Sounds like its an issue with CM7. Maybe you can contact one of the devs and ask them how to make it work. They should be more than willing to make it work since CM is about personalization.

yea its a really nice app i just restored my ota (2.3.3) rom and it works very nice with it, so it works great with anything ota based and im assuming froyo cuz they have the same lockscreen

Did you restore specifically for this app or you just like the stock rom? I'm on the stock rom also and I personally don't have any issues with it. I honestly must of had one random reboot in opposed to 5-10 on Froyo.

restored to try the app out but i will say cm is my home but on the other hand stock ota is imo pretty effin fast ,it might be the same kernel build (number) as froyo, its not the same kernel if u think about it tho u know? u cant use fauxs stock lg kernel on it and i know its gb, but i think they did things to it cuz its definitely the fastest rom out. u touch and it goes, so idk i might give this a shot now that kingdavid63 has a nice theme for it and this lockscreen its pretty sweet

I agree. I love the stock rom minus not having the LG camera and the radio needs to be updated. Places where I used to have signal I now do not have signal at all.

The dev did say the first time you start the app it should be a little slow. Do a restart and you should be fine. The app works fast for me.

Love having the sense 3.0 lockscreen, however I have a quick question. I'm on CM7 and i have it applied but the CM7 lockscreen still appears also. I looked in system/apps but did not see a lockscreen apk. How can I disable the CM7 lockscreen?

XDA member Sarni84 mentioned that same issue. I'm on the non rooted Gingerbread OTA so I can't check right now plus I'm at work, but when I get home I can extract the CM7 file to my computer and search through it. In the meanwhile go to the CM7 posting and see if anyone has found a solution or can find a solution. I usually get home around 5-6pm Eastern.

Ya I've tried disabling through cm7 settings with the power notification setting, and through no lockscreen app from the market. Still a no go... I get both lockscreens no matter what. If the issue is fixed that'd be super sweet! I love the lockscreen!!! So nice and pretty

I had the same issue. Press the power button the immediately after, the volume up key. Not a permanent solution, but at least it gets the screen back :|

No problem. I found it to be too much of a hassle personally. Nice app though. Maybe future versions will be compatible with CM7-based ROMs.

[Q] Question: Change Music Track with the Volume Button?

I had a G2 before I had the mytouch 4g slide and I used to be able to change to the next song holding down the Up volume button. I can't do that with the slide, my slide is root and is running the Virtuous rom. Anyone know anything about it?
-thanks
Was your G2 also running Virtuous?
I think (not 100% sure) but the volume up/down music control is a feature that must be implemented into the ROM itself, ie. CM7/MIUI. Sense 3.0 doesn't have that built-in I believe.

Sensation won't stop taking screen shots!

Hi there
I'm having the issue recently where I press home button and it takes screen shots! I have to lock and unlock to stop it but it soon starts again!
I have checked the button for operation and can hear it click in and out, I have carried out full reset but issue persists!
I have had Android since day dot but this has never happened!
Any ideas ... Can I disable screen shot function!

What rom, what service provider etc etc? Good to put it in your sig
I had exactly the same problem, if i was using the latest shipped pyramid ROM. Older versions of shipped ROM's did not have this problem.
So you could try a older version of shipped pyramid ROM or maybe a custom ROM, like InsertCoin, AdroidRevolutionHD, CM7.1, ... with these i had no problems.
Also all that was ment for Gingerbread. With the newest ICS ROM's stock HTC, senseless, or AOSP, I had absolutely no problems with screenshots...
I hope that was helpfull
Thanks, will try that, it's HTC sensation on 2.3.4, using GO launcher instead of sense, software number 1.50.401.1
Never changed the ROM before so could be interesting!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
If i remember correctly the "1.45.XXX" was the last that worked great with sensation and if you updated that one the screenshot problem started to appear.
I'd flash cm7 and see how it goes. It could be a hardware failure of some sort and would likely be a warranty return.

I found when I was playing with an app' called SD Maid,I had the same problem.
After I removed it,problem gone.
Go figure.
The same problem cropped up for me after the OTA GB update that included the feature. I installed a different ROM (InsertCoin ICS 4.3.1 currently) and the problem totally went away.
I had initially assumed that my power button was "sticking", but since it went away I'm assuming it was a software problem.
The only time I have had that problem is when my power button got stuck on me. But I am currently using the stock rom.
I have had this problem with my Sensation and i think it is the power button that is built into the outer case becoming physically stuck half way down. I have solved it on a couple of occasions by taking off the case and just making sure the case button is free and loose and also then giving the actual power button (pad) on the device a few presses with a finger nail before re-fitting the case.
i had that problem with stock.
solution is to repress the power button... i think the software thinks its being pressed, so press it once more, and it stops taking pics.
that said... im now on 4.0.3 and that problem is gone.
My power button was sticking. Power+ home was a screenshot. I gave the sides of my power button a flick with my fingernail. No more issues.

He is most likely on an ICS build which does not have that function. It opens the browser, I tried today to change the function in ICS Sense but the only change I made was to make it TAB rather than browser. But there are many threads around here to explain this, maybe one could go at it with a text editor to achieve what they want?

I second the request in this thread, only less bitterly.
I became a little hooked on that function I guess! I'd also love to turn the slide out keyboard's back key to a keypress delete or something and a long press back so I don't lose XDA posts once in a while!

How to manually change appswitch key to menu

Hi
I found this out by just playing around trying to change my hardware keys. I know this works with aosp 4.2.2 ROMs but I haven't tested it with sense ROMs yet. To change appswitch key to open menu go into /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl and change key 249 from appswitch to menu. Will try on sense ROMs soon and let y'all know if it works on them also. I will also try remapping other hardware keys as well just to see if they work.
OK it works on sense ROMs and all the hardware keys can be remapped. Also a reboot is needed to apply changes
Thats cool but every rom has that capability built in. Even sense roms
