once you check mark it in the settings menu, open a text message and hold your finger down in the area in which you would type the message. when you let go, there will be an "Input method" button that pops up. Select that, then choose the gingerbread keyboard from the list that pops up

Im having an issue in the youtube app where if i press space the cursor goes to highlight one of the videos in the related section. i have to hold up for the selector to go back to the text area before i can actually enter my space. Does anybody else have this issue? I hope i explained it well enough

I have come across this problem as well... a quick fix is pressing the search button on your dock... this should allow you to enter words while hitting the space key...
also, don't think this belongs in the dev section =)
I want to know which is the name of the apk for the stock lockscreen. I'm trying to keep widget locker as my lockscreen but that annoying stock lockscreen pops before widget locker and it's very annoying.
You can't. Lockscreens aren't standalone apps. They are part of the framework, which is why you'll sometimes get double locks when using a third party lockscreen app.
I use dialer codes to remove lock screens altogether. I haven't tried a 3rd party after that though, so it's worth a shot

Below is the text I copied from another forum. I've tried this on several ROMs with success. NOTE that this will disable your long-press power menu options. Holding the power button now will power off your phone.
This is not a problem for me, except every now and then I accidentally shut the phone off.

Go to Dialer and enter *#83786633, then press the home key
Go back into the Dialer, clear those numbers, then *#22745927
Now a screen will appear asking for the SPC Code, enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button, then press home button
To disable the lock screen (and power down pop up), go back into the Dialer and use the code *#7594#, select Shutdown and press the Home button. This, I have confirmed, does work on the Charge.
There is also the option to disable the full battery pop up, but I'm not sure if it actually works or not (I'll be able to find out later tonight). *#3844228#. It allows you to disable it, but the option never actually worked on my Fascinate, so I don't know if it will work on the Charge. "
I'm usually one who doesn't like to sit and wait around having to hold a button to get something to work, and I don't usually have a heavy hand so I prefer a very short press and hold period. Is there any way to modify how long we have to hold down the home button to see the recent apps?
I changed the home button action in nova launcher so that it first goes to my main home screen. If it is already there a single press of the home button opens the recent apps list.

But what about if you aren't already at your launcher? Say... you're using Chrome and want to go to recent apps, right now it takes a press an hold of around 2 seconds or so. I would like to know how to change this to reduce it to a second or perhaps less.
In that case I hold it until the recent apps shows up. So I guess nova launcher settings only help if you're not in an app.

But that's exactly my point, is that right now you just hold it until recent apps shows up, which is like two seconds. To me personally, this is too long. I usually have quick hands and do everything really quickly, the long press I use for Swiftkey is set to 200ms. This is why I think it would be nice to change the recent apps to maybe a second or so, I'm just not sure how to go about doing this.

I was thinking of the same sort of thing before discovering Sheffy007's nav bar thread. I now think the nav bar is a more elegant solution.
If you're not a fan of the Nav Bar, you could study the changes he made to the key files and possibly swap home and recent apps (pressing home brings up recent apps, holding home brings up the home screen).

Would a launcher help this issue?
Couldn't you set the double click assigned to the siri like Samsung voice to go to recent apps instead? That would be much faster...

On cm10 I have my recent apps set to long press menu, it's less annoying than holding the physical home button just my. 02

I'm fine with the use of the long press home button for recent apps, I just wish I didn't have to hold it for so long, although a double press wouldn't be bad either.
It seems like this should be an easy fix though, if we can just figure out where the file is that says to wait 2000ms before bringing up the recent apps, it should be as simple as changing that to a smaller number, shouldn't it?

I looked through the SQL Lite DB on my device (TW based ROM), /system/usr/keylayouts and decompiled framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and SystemUI.apk. I briefly looked through everything and the closest thing I could find was in framework-res/res/values/integers.xml
<integer name="config_longPressOnHomeBehavior">2</integer>
I don't think that's it, but it's worth a shot (nandroid first). Anyone else know where button duration is set?
I think this closely relates to what mybook already found, but I found this in framework-res/res/values/public.xml:
Code:
7946 | <public type="integer" name="config_longPressOnHomeBehavior" id="0x010e001d" />
Still has nothing to do with the duration, but it might be able to lead us to the duration.
I've noticed since flashing CM10 that the long press seems to much quicker, around a second or so, meaning this must be possible somehow.
I was searching for the exact functionality when i got to this thread, and I was disappointed. Surely someone in XDA can accomplish something like this?
I was hoping there would be a file somewhere in the root dir that holds the settings to this long press duration in an integer. Something like the sys/class/leds/led-backlight/brightness file that sets the softkey brightness to zero, effectively turning it off, which is really useful for night reading.
Has still nobody figured it out? :crying:
I was wondering if someone can come up with a patch/or code change where when in the text messaging app while viewing someones text, but then hitting the home button takes you back to the main screen but when you re enter your messaging app it doesnt go back to that persons text instead goes back to the main messaging screen. i hate having to hit the back button repeatedly. i will donate 10 dollars for this hack. please someone figure this out for me. all 3rd party apps seem to do this but they are not stable. please help
All you have to do is hut the back once then just press the home button? I mean not that hard I do it all the time

yea i understand that but , im looking for a easier way, so if someone can come up with this , i would greatly appreciate it
Well maybe not exactly what you want but, for one on one txing, you can hold down on home screen when menu pops up(add to home screen) click short cuts> direct message> choose who you wanna direct message.....After this you can message the person you choose then click home button then click the short cut again.you be taken back to that same message you just sent if it's the same person.hope I'm not confusing you.
