Hey all,
I've tried everything that came up in my searches, but I have yet to find a working solution. What I want to do is get the Volume Rocker long presses to change from just increasing/decreasing volume automatically to changing the tracks while music is playing. It'd make my life a lot easier at work and was one thing I loved about CM7.
I've tried modifying the Edison keylayout file to no avail, and all the patches offered for various other Moto phones won't install. I don't think this is something kernel-specific, but if anything, could someone guide me to a place where I could learn how to make a patch for the A2? I imagine I am not the only one that would appreciate such a mod, and seeing as I'm on break, I have time to try and make one myself.
Thanks for reading, any information is helpful!

--HELP!!--
Some time ago I noticed that my Shadow no longer has any sort of volume control - in call or not. Volume buttons do nothing but move the selection to the top of the screen (of whatever screen is active). I can't say exactly when this happened, but it was sometime after installing new themes. Unfortunately I can't remember what I installed or when because I've installed quite a few things . I've tried uninstalling potentially violating programs, changing themes, etc with no luck. Browsed the registry and couldn't really find anything that looked like a keymap for the volume keys. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get my volume control back???
Sorry to raise a thread for this because I know this info is on the forum as I've read it in the past and done it, but I cannot find the post/thread in question and have already gone through loads of volume related stuff already while looking for it.
This was a tweak that enabled the volume transition from quiet to loud or vice versa do move really quickly when you hold the volume key up or down (in Sense in general rather than a specific program). I think it was a registry tweak rather than a feature in a cab (or a cab specially for this) but I may be wrong.
So for example the default is that if your phone is on Silent/Vibrate mode and you hold down the volume up key it steps up over a second or two until it reaches full volume. This tweak meant that you don't have to hold the key for as long to make it move quickly up or down.
I don't mean that it enables the volume to jump instantly from one end of the scale to the other, it still moves in steps, but it just moves a lot quicker.
I used to have it on my phone but I flashed it the other day and cannot find out how to get this back and I miss it - it's a nice touch!
Can anyone help? Thanks if so!
Bump! Surely someone must know how this is done? Well, I 'know' someone does since I previously had it set up like this but you know what I mean!
Would really appreciate being able to do this.
Hi,
I'm looking for this too. But no answer until now. I think (but I'm not an expert) that this should be easy to do.
I found it tonight by accident and I'm amazed no-one else has said the answer.
It's simply in windows>settings>personal>buttons as stepping speed.
Hello community, I will admit that I am a Mesmerize n00b but I've been using a N1 for a long time. One feature that I liked (maybe it's just an HTC thing) is that I could long press menu to show/hide the softkeyboard, and more importantly, I could long press the search button to get Google Voice Search.
I have searched around the forums for the last few hours for the keywords "Mesmerize" and "Long Press". I can't figure out any way to launch google voice command from a hardware key.
I don't particularly care if it is the SAME way, I'd just prefer not to have to go back to the home screen and THEN click on an app-- it's harder to do while driving.
I'm wondering if the device does not physically recognize long presses of that button.
I've got SU, EB16, , if any of that helps.
My brother, who works at USCC, says that he got one out of the box and that Long-press search works by default. Mine never did though, even before modding. Perhaps mine has a slight defect?
Ive noticed this, however it's a non issue for me. When you bring up quick search, I just press the mic if I want to voice command. Anyone know of an app that allows you to assign commands to the soft keys? I want to say the dev for 'clear default home' might have a solution. I could be wrong.

I know that you could do it on stock mez, but the modified roms or 2.2 don't seem to support it. Also I can't mute my ringer by using the volume keys, I have to press the power button. Which doesn't matter cause if I'm silencing the ringer I'm most likely not going to answer. All pros easily out weigh all the(like 2) insignificant cons I have experienced.....

There is a market app called Button Shortcut that has been suggested to me but it does not work. It's a non-root app. I tried a similar search and found a root app for hard buttons but it didn't support long presses.
The search continues, thanks for your input.
I thought I would conclude this thread with the following information:
I went all the way back to 2.1, Stock, and the long press indeed DOES work. It is only in the leaked EA11 and EB16 that it does not work for me. I thought I would mention this just in case somebody else notices the same problem and searches for this thread.
Thanks to those who contributed.
Hate to pull this out of the grave, but I've got the latest EC10 PnP installed now and long pressing the search button still doesn't work for me. Also voice commands don't work, but that's probably a topic for another thread.
I don't know, it's maddening that I can't voice command this thing and it makes me want to return the phone.
Any suggestions? I can't seem to find anybody here complaining of the same thing... Thanks in advance.
Have you tried downloading Froyo from uscc to see if it works on their release?
If that doesnt work, there is a thread about "suggestions for roms". You could post your request on there.

Hi guys,
I was searching for quite some time now and found one similar mod on the xda forum for what I am looking for (but unfortunately only for the Nexus 4).
My aim is to be able to wake the device by using the volume rocker in addition to the standard power button.
I have already tried editing the generic.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ by adding WAKE behind the VOLUME_DOWN value with no success and would like to know if there is any other way to accomplish this.
Thank you for your help.
PS: If anybody also knows how to achieve a maximized lockscreen widget on wake instead of the standard minimized one that would help me as well

app called touch control will most likely be able to incorporate Nexus 5 to wake up with knock or slide. Also, "turn off the screen" app is helpful for now.
In case you still concern, it is implemented in the GravityBox, under Navigation key, VOLUME ROCKER

Hello guys
I spend all day today to thinking how can i remap home button (galaxy S7), i want to use this button as long press to install some application directly from directory.
I already tryed some remaps software from store, but there s no option to do it directly to file.
Best for me was tasker, but there s also no way to set up home button, the only way is volume up or down which is very uncomfortable, or i am doing something wrong.
Phone is rooted by magisk.
Please i really need help with that stuff or i am going to crazy soon...
And of course thanks for all people which will try to help me.
Found your solution ?
Ofcourse depends on the Rom you use.
Try Android 12 by @Ivan_Meler (?) LineageOs
Gives your S7 a new life.
