Updated 5/26/10 with new version supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for download.
Okay, some of you saw my initial failed attempt at this mod, for removing the 'end call' virtual key / button on the screen, while a call is in progress.
The purpose of this mod is to prevent accidentally hanging up on a caller, by having your face press the 'end call' virtual button. There are even apps in the market to try and address this, so I'm guessing the issue is widespread for people.
On my first attempt, I inadvertently removed the entire bottom row, which was problematic, as it prevented you from being able to enter numbers, etc, during a voice prompt.
I was unable to find a way to remove JUST the 'end call' button, without removing the entire bottom row, so I decided to take a different approach, which is the end product posted here.
This approach seeks to simply disable the key press event on the 'end call' key. This way, we don't have to worry about removing the button, just disabling its function. As a result of disabling, I then went and removed the 'End call' text from the button, and turned it from red to gray, to essentially show it as disabled / non-functional.
To end a call using this mod, simply press the 'red' end call hard key on your phone.

Always nandroid. I don't believe I broke anything, but I very well could have.
would it be possible to give the button a different function? such as turning off the backlight?

Updated
Okay, I've modified the first post, and updated the download file to a new version, where the button is now gone all together, which I think just looks nicer.

Working great! I can't tell you how much better this makes my phone-talking experience. So nice to not be constantly worried about disconnecting the call!
I will try the new mod a little later this evening.
think its possible to make the button go to lock screen instead?
New version is working great too! I've hung up on people quite a few times because my face hit the hang up button. Thanks for this!
[Updated]
Added button to change ringer state: Silent, Vibrate, Normal
NOTE: You cannot change ringer/notification levels with the widget if ringer state is in Silent or Vibrate. You will notice the icons fade out.
Enjoy!
Hey everyone. I developed a small widget to quickly change volume levels for media, ringtone, notification, and alarm. I find myself wanting to turn media volume on/off all the time, and I couldn't find a good solution in the Market, so I made my own.
You can download it from the Market. Just search for Mission Control. There is an SD version (G1, Hero, etc), and an HD version (Evo, Nexus, etc).
If you guys find any bugs or have suggestions for it, just let me know. This is my first Android app, so please be gentle.

This is pretty nice. The sound board to the right doesnt work for me on the EVO. What is it supposed to do?
Nice, could you use some iPhone icons by any chance?
Nice handy little app. I just downloaded from the market and put it on one of my panels. I like the three level toggles. this will be great when at the theater or a meeting and want to turn everything off really quick.
Thanks for the app!

The control panel is non-functional at the moment. My plans are to use it to allow a user to fully customize a button to do anything they want, along with choosing any icons they want as well.

I looked around for some good iPhone-style icons, but couldn't find any that I liked. I'll continue to search and see what I can come up with.
Only other thing I would like to see, is when you press one of the toggles that it changes your phone settings to vibrate, silent, etc.

Cascade mode
GREAT looking app! Only problem, when using it (HD) with launcher pro (on EVO), the widget gets disbled when going into cascade mode. i don't know if it has anything to do with my phone having "Sense" banned (using DC 3.2.3) or the devopment of the widget just doesn't have cascade support yet.

Trying to get an idea of interest in a theme like this.
Inspiration came from Bezerker.
Themed out in all red with out the over kill on the eyes.
All icons are left original Droid X colors.
Many Thanks are due and will come if I decide to release!
Also, I'm in need of someone who could help me with text color...
I'm trying to have white text against the dark buttons.
Ok, I'm putting this link up for the those who'd like to test...There shouldn't be any issues besides the buttons which I'm working on. I haven't themed ADW yet...that'll happen tonight if i can get to it. Also this is from a free Mediafire account so it might be limited. If you don't get a copy and want one PM me.
Download -- CM6 Test 8
Droid X Themed LauncherPro v0.7.0.4
Install: In recovery, system mounted -- adb push SCM-LauncherPro.apk /system/app/
I've pretty much already done this and it's complete, but the only real issues that remain are fixing the 'press' color for the pc sync app on the phone and, like in your screenshot, removing the black horizontal lines from buttons. I just don't feel like releasing it unfinished
by icons, do you mean browser phone, etc? if so, that is awesome.
if you need a tester or two to provode feedback, im available.

Actually, I have to correct myself. This IS the best theme I've ever used.
The only real "problem" is dark text, and those little lines shown I'm that last pic of the Calender.

This is a mod to the stock camera app that comes with the Infuse.
Features:
Take pictures with the power button
Take pictures even when low on battery (less than 15%)
Record videos even when low on battery (less than 15%)
Know bug:
The only known bug so far is the home key ceases to function on odd presses of the power button. So if you take a picture with the power button, the home key won't close the app, but if you take another picture with the power button, the home key will work correctly again. It keeps flip flopping between working and not every time you press the power button.
However, even when the home key doesn't work, you can still close the app with the back key. I tried forever to fix this but so far couldn't. If people complain about it then I'll look into it more. Thanks MikeyMike01 for giving me the fix!
Update:
Version 1.1 has the fix to the home key not working.
Note: This is my first ever mod for any phone. I've tested it and had some other people test it and everything seems to be working perfectly, however keep in mind that since this is my first mod that something I may not have thought of may go wrong. If something does happen, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

It is a CWM flashable zip. Download the zip, boot into CWM, and install it. Then reboot and you're good to go. Be sure to back up your current Camera.apk (/system/app/Camera.apk) in case something happens to it. Nothing should happen, but better be safe than sorry.
Do not install this on a stock ROM. This requires you to be on a deodexed ROM in order to use; installing it on a stock ROM with just cause it to FC whenever you open it. If you still want to use it on a stock ROM, try installing it and then deleting Camera.odex from /system/app.
If something gets screwed up and you want to go back to the stock camera, put this in your /system/app : http://www.mediafire.com/?agjxja90ord61xc
Again, that camera is deodexed and won't work on a stock ROM.
If you need help with anything feel free to ask. Questions, comments, and concerns are always welcome.
Thanks
Whoops, forgot to thank people! Thanks to arcangels03 (he doesn't know it, but that post is what I used to get started in modding), h8rift, hoofadoo, RockingKK, gtg(for helping me realize the home button is a lost cause), aleadam for the Home Key fix and MikeyMike01 for linking me to it, as well as a few other people from the IRC whose names I am forgetting.

You are the man! I scoured the internet as far as I could and could not find a fix to this at all. I did have the idea this morning of doing something similar to what the person in the link said but I was being lazy and didn't really feel like trying anything new at the moment.
Also is this causing anyone else's camera to FC? If it does could you post what ROM you're using and any other information that you think may or may not be helpful?
Works on mine. Am on infused 1.5.0 with the default bundled kernel. Thanks mate.

Do you by chance happen to be using a stock/non-deodexed ROM? If you have a Camera.odex file in /system/app then you may need to remove or rename it. That's the only thing I can think of right now that might be causing it to FC for you.

Ras i was wondering if you plan to have more customization control like with redemption or is it basically wysiwyg? I liked being able to change how my notification toggle were words and i could show or hide them by tapping a button. Just wondering if i should expect something like that or keep an eye out for redemption updates.

I think what we have planned for Melchizedek is going to be leaner than Redemption. I'm sure we will add more features as time goes on. If you want to full boat of features, Redemption will be updated in the next day or two. Nice to have choices, I hope.

this one doesn't require any extra radio flashing does it? Also is it safe to flash after all the steps... as far as the kernel part... It mentions something about flashing someone elses kernel... Thanks and the pics look sick!! Cant wait till my phone gets here....
Shouldn't have to flash a radio, but you can look to see if a different one works better for you. And as to the kernel, only use the one in the rom.
Thanks, Ill see how it goes!

Dude, please read the OP for the ROM.
"-Custom Camera Launcher that launches Angel Camera for stills and VideoCam Illusion for Videos
(You need a player like Rock Player Lite or MXPlayer to Play the Videos)"
Which means install Rock Player Lite or MXPlayer and your videos work.

I think the toggles in the notificationbar are in Redemption better working.
Cause they are so small i can't touch them properly, and especially WIFI is annoying to enable/disable.
There is a big delay before it reacts on your touch, so many times I don't know if I selected it right, and start to hit it multiple times
The place they are now is good, but in Redemption the toggles are much bigger, and easier to select.

Agreed. I like the On/Off toggles much better, too. Just wish Mel had the same sort of notification bar toggles like Red. Other than that minor difference, Mel sounds like a great ROM!
