Hello all,
I recently installed CM10 nightly cm-10-20121012-nightly-evita on my HTC One XL. pretty much everything works great and I am liking the experience. Now I am coming from older cm7 tablet background and very new to HTC One X and CM10 etc. What I find missing is a missing settings button in the applications that I am used to which helps me configure the app. Am I missing something or is there a new way to get things configured ?
An example would be a simple app called basic stock. I add a stock to it and can not add any more stocks because there is no settings button. On my cm7 tablet I am able to do it easily. Similar experience with many other apps.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Deepee
Go to the settings app, when in there look for system and click on it. On the bottom it should say hardware keys, click on that.
At the bottom should be the setting for 3 button menu and I would advise to set another action with the home or apps button to bring up the menu with long press.

i always remap the keys and also enable the 3dot, i think these should be set as the default settings.

Just wondering if anyone has come across this and what your opinions are?

I've been using it since it was posted on AddictiveTips, and I have to say it is probably the best file manager I've used yet.
I have absolutely no lag, and everything is much more fluid than the other ones I used.
I tried it yesterday..... Couldn't create new folders.... I'm using 4.0.3

Working for me on CM9. Design and speed is really awsome. Replaced ES File Explorer
Maybe I'll move back once it leaves beta and won't be for free anymore.
First of all congratulate you for this great app. It looks awesome, and works awesome. I've been trying it a while, and there's just one thing that slightly bothers me: the physical back button of the phone (I own a galaxy s+) is supposed to go back where we have been (like works in the browsers). But in your app it works like "up". I mean, if I open the your file explorer, it opens a location, say mnt/sdcard/externalsd/myStuffFolder. So, say I've done what I wanted and want to close the app. In most apps double clicking the physical back button closes the app, but in yours, I keep going up in the root tree, so it's like several taps on the key to exite the app.
Like I said, is not a big deal, since I can press the menu key and then exit the app, but I'm too used to exit apps with that button, and it would be good to keep that consistency: back button should be back or close, not up.
Very good app though. Replaced my filebrowser!

Mine works if you hold the back button to exit.

Amazing app
Despite being in beta, I think it's one of the top file browsers.

OK so one of the features Verizon went out of their way to promote with the new ICS update was the "launch bar". Obviously I know where that is on the phone ICS interface, down there at the bottom. Where is it on the tablet? That would be awesome to be able to keep certain apps and shortcuts accessible on every homescreen. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it on the tablet though! Anyone able to help?

Try out nova launcher or any other that offers dock options.

Nah I'd rather stay with the stock launcher. Thanks though!

I think what verizon was talking about is the recent apps list where you can quick change to another app you have recently had opened. Do not confuse that with a launch bar that you may see on a windows PC. However, if that is what you would like to have then check out EOS 2.0 rom. It has this feature of putting apps down at the bottom next to the soft keys. And it uses stock launcher. In fact its what I like to call "enhanced stock experience". Great stable rom, awesome features.
I thought that too except they specifically said drag apps and shortcuts to the launch bar for easy access from any home screen, plus the multitasking button isn't new in ICS. Honeycomb had it too.
Honestly I think it was a marketing faux pas on their side because as far as I can see, the launch bar exists phone only.

Looking to implement this on 1.84; I understand the keyboard layout remappings involved but I'm not sure how to modify policy for the long press home functionality.
So, if anyone could assist me in creating this (I'm a C# dev, but haven't ever tried to do anything on android), or already has it, assistance would be greatly appreciated!

There's a patch in the 3 dot thread already and I've seen a description of the procedure in the linked One X thread

OK...somewhere in the thread is the link to the One X thread documenting long press modifications. It's not just text files like the menu remap, you need to dissassemble modules to make the changes (search for smali/backsmali)
I'm really enjoying AOKP over HTC's flavor of ICS, but there's one thing that really bothers me, and that's the app switching behavior. I know a lot of people prefer having a dedicated menu key, but I honestly don't care for it. I'd much rather use the on-screen menu buttons and have a dedicated key for app switching. Is there any way to change this behavior to mimic stock ICS, or is this something integral to AOKP and cannot be changed by a menu setting?
In a root explorer go to
system/usr/keylayout
and edit
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Then change the
249 to APP_SWITCH
Then there is line from Build.Prop that needs to be removed
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Or you could just hold down the home button which brings up the app switcher and then u have the best of both worlds

Editing synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl went fine, but I cannot find qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in /system/build.prop. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Did you reboot? And does the key work properly? Maybe in aosp roms don't need to have that line, it may auto detect and give you a menu key.

After I rebooted, the app switch key now brings up an icon-based Recent list, not the ICS task switcher. Also, apps still don't have any in-app menu keys. Going to revert so I can use apps properly again.

Try asking in the rom thread. I thought this might work, sorry it didn't.

Unfortunately, it seems that until I've reached a whopping 10 posts, I'm unfit to ask a relevant question in the appropriate development thread. I guess I'll just have to wait till I do hit 10 posts, or just hope that one of the devs sees the thread. Thanks anyhow.
I'm running Aokp milestone on my HTC One X. Is there a way to temporary disable the HTC home menu keys and just use the Galaxy nexus style menu keys?

I don't know if there's an option to disable the capacitive keys in Settings, but it's feasible to remap the buttons to nothing in /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl.
This might be a stupid question but.
I have 4.2.1 now on my HTC One S thanks to Dark Jelly, but how do I get to My Apps, and My Wishlist in the playstore?
I'm not sure how that rom exactly works, but try holding down the recent apps button for context menu.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Yea holding that down does nothing.
Might be a problem with the ROM, not sure. I guess I should post over there.
*yup, a setting on the rom.
Settings-- system-- hardware keys
From there you can set one of the keys to be a shortcut to the menu (long press recent apps key is what I use). Hope that is what you're looking for...
