I just flashed Paranoid Android 3+ GamerZ Edition to my Nexus 4, 16GB, and I've tried enabling multi user so my parents could use the phone with simplicity to call back home but after I create a new profile and I try switching to my main profile I press and hold the power button to go to the power menu but there is no option in the menu that allows me to switch between users and even in the User tab of settings there isn't an option to allow switching of users, so to get back to my own account I either have to reboot or delete the other account...
Any help is appreciated!

i had the same problem, you had to enable lockscreen rotation and there it's the option to switch users.

I've just released my first app to the market. I would appreciate if some people could test it for me on different Android versions/phones?
In-App Wifi Toggle
Once installed you can enable or disable your Wifi connection instantly from any context (ie in the Browser application, from the home screen) by either
a) Long pressing the Search button
b) Pressing the Call button
A nice toast message is displayed stating whether the Wifi connection was enabled or disabled.
I wrote this app because I was fed up of launching an app, realising it would benefit from Wifi being enabled, having to return to the home screen, activate Wifi with the Power Control widget, long press the home button and select the app again to return. This app bypasses all of that with a single button press and doesn't interupt the application you're already in.
Would appreciate your feedback! Thanks!
Great job on this, was thinking about it yesterday.
I long-pressed the search button, cause I prefer having my call button free if I have to make a call in a hurry.
Thanks for your feedback!
I would appreciate if people could tell me what phone/version and what button they are using to activate?
ATM Confirmed working on:
- Nexus One with Long Press of Search
- HTC Desire with Long Press of Search
- HTC G1 with Call Button
There are a lot of handsets out there that don't have a search button, which is why I wired up the call button as well. I appreciate that a lot of users would prefer to keep this wired to their main phone/contacts app however. I am currently looking into getting my app to hook the Camera button also but its not as easy as I would like.
Also, if you do find this app useful it'd be great if you could rate and leave a comment in the Android market, thx!
Also would anyone have any requirement for an equivalent app that toggles bluetooth or GPS? If so let me know, shouldn't be too hard to throw together.
On HTC Legend works OK with search button long press.

My attempt was on a HTC Magic on Cyanogen 2.0.7 test2
Confirmed working on my GSM Hero, rooted running Villain 5.3. It works using both long press search and call button. Good app, saves me having to go back to home screen to turn on/of wifi!
Edit: When in Sense UI, everytime I press the phone soft button or call hardware button, I get the "complete using action" dialogue, which asks me to chose whether I want to access the dialer or In-App Wifi Toggle. Is there anyway you can make it so that its disabled on the home screen or when in Sense?

When the "Complete using action" dialogue appears you should get a list of potential apps and also a check box labelled "Use by default for this action". If you mark the check box before selecting your desired app you won't be prompted for the app again.
Note also: Once you've selected a default, you can only clear it by going into "Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > [App in Questions]" and hitting the "Clear Defaults" button.

One can use Tasker (http://tasker.dinglisch.net/) to automatically have Wifi (or GPS, or whatever) enabled when using specific apps.
Why on certain apps when you can have it whenever you want from a simple press
Edit: works on sprint hero! Good job
WOW
Fantastic app!!! I've been waiting for this for a while!
I can confirm it works great on HTC Hero with FreshToast 2b2.
Long press call key as well as short press. I decided to keep short press going to the phone and long press for the wifi toggle.
THANK YOU!!! 5 Stars from me!
Works great on Desire. Nice job!!!

Great idea and app, thanks a lot!
Would definitely be able to make use of a GPS one as well on my Desire as I use RunKeeper a lot but hate having to turn GPS on and off all the time! There is a feature in the app to turn on GPS but it takes you to the phone security settings for some reason?
Cheers!
Fastest five stars I've ever given to something from the Market. Great job.
I was worried that it would affect my call button's usage but had totally forgotten that if Android has two different functions for the same button it asks you which function you want to use [and lets you set the default].
Long-press search button on myTouch 3G.
Great work!
Just thought I would let you know that I have now released "In-App Bluetooth Toggle" to the market now.
I have also added an "In-App Toggle Donate" version so that anyone who wants to say thanks can purchase for 99p. The donate app combines both the bluetooth and wifi apps into one. Any donations are gratefully recieved.
As always I appreciate any feedback.
I will be looking into a GPS toggle in the near future however this will take longer as some hacking is involved.
Installed on my Nexus One running CM 5.0.6, works with long-press on search button just fine.. thanks for the app, great idea.

Working as expected on my Sprint CDMA Hero running Fresh Toast 2.1 w/ custom GodMode x.29 kernel. Both long press shortcuts work (search and call).
As for an equivalent app, I don't really need bluetooth since I often have to re-open an app to get it to recognize a bluetooth connection I start after instead of prior to opening it. GPS on the other hand might be nice.
Thanks for the useful app! I was honestly thinking that an app like this would be great to have last week.
Okay, so the HTC Incredible has no call button, and a long press of the search button is defaulted to activating the voice input for search. How about a long press of the Back button (which is the only button that does not already have a long press function)?
Just installed on my HTC Incredible works with the long pressing of the search button. When you press the search button long it brings up (complete action using either the search or In-app wifi). It will turn on and off the wifi but doesn't connect the wifi stays in 3g mode. I have to go into settings/wireless & Networks/WI-FI settings and then it connects. So lets say if the WiFi is turned on and i use IN-APP WIFI it will turn it off just fine. If i try to turn it back on using IN-APP WIFI it will not revert unless i go into wifi settings. Great idea though sir i hope you can get it to work on the incredible
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Update i uninstalled it Cycled my phone off and on reinstalled it worked fine for awhile then went back to Lagging. Don't know if it conflicts with HTC's Wifi widget.
HTC Desire...All go
I have in stalled this on HTC desire (non rooted) and it seemless. Great job!
DroidX, rooted, stock ROM
I came from a rooted Incredible with soft buttons, and dislike the hardware buttons on the X. I installed the brilliant Swipepad, which handles many of the issues, but still haven't found a convenient way to get HOME without that button.
MENU and RETURN would also be nice.
Is there a way to do that?
Lucky You Try Button Savior.. I've been using it for 6 months and it's great, Has menu,screen off, home and others

You could probably look for a soft keys app. There's a few out there.

Installed Button Savior and tried various config options, but can't seem to get the trigger to show on my Droid X screen. ???
If you run CM7, you could turn on 'Tablet Tweaks'. It adds honeycomb style home/back/menu to the notification bar (and lets you move it to the bottom rather than the top if desired).
after you install you need to open the app, and go over the settings. Then the trigger pops up

I am running CM7 on my Droid x and my galaxy tab... settings are there on my tab but the tablet tweaks aren't all there on my Droid x, only status bar on bottom option, dead zone option and disable lockscreen option. The settings for soft buttons aren't there, where they are on my tablet. Not sure if it is unique to my rom but my source for Droid x is straight from CM7 site, and I install nightlies almost every day. I'm in no way calling you a liar, but I am wondering if you have first hand experience, as if you do, I would actually like to know how to get the soft key setting, because it would be practical at nighttime to switch off lights on home buttons and use a soft key instead(those home lights are so damn bright at night and you can't lower their brightness like you can the screen, but you can shut them off)
Sprint SGT + CM7 = AWESOMENESS!!!!

You are correct. I assumed it was there and didn't actually check until just now.
I use CM7 W/GB (RevNumbers builds). They are almost identical to the official nightly builds. I also use CM7 on my G-Tablet. Know that Tablet tweaks was there, and that the Tablet tweaks option was there on my X, I just assumed (my bad) that the options were the same.
After your post, I double checked on my X and I get the same options as you.
Looks like button savior is the way to go.

Lol so I'm not crazy? It would be nice if the CM7 team added those features to our x's. I just might go bug the CM7 team and see if I get a reply I can't imagine it would be difficult to add those options to the menu...

I'm a new Relay user and I can't use CM-10 (need wifi calling) so I'm trying to make the best out of the stock ROM Rooted. I don't like that the keyboard backlight goes out after a few seconds and doesn't seem to even have a sensor to keep it on in dark rooms so I re-downloaded the Tasker App from the Play Store which I haven't used in a while.
To get the keyboard to stay on when slid open I had to do the following:
1. Open Tasker.
2. Choose [Profiles] from the top menu.
3. Click the [plus sign] at the bottom to add a new profile and select [State] from the drop down.
4. Select [Hardware] from the State Category menu.
5. Select [Keyboard Out] from the list of choices here.
6. Tap on the Tasker Icon at the top of the screen and select [Backlight On] from the popup menu.
7. Make sure the toggle switch is set to on for your new profile.
8. Now go to you phone's Sytem Settings > Display > Touch Key Light Duration > and select Always Off (This will allow tasker to take control and have the keyboard backlight stay on when slid open but the Relay's back and menu keys will no longer light up. I can live with this to have my keyboard light on when typing.
9. If this didn't work, make sure Tasker is set to on in System Settings > Accessibility
BTW if someone knows a better way to accomplish this please share.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using Nova Launcher. I think with the Touchwiz Launcher, apps that use accessibility cause Talkback to speak even if you have it turned off. I could be wrong about that but I had problems with the Light Flow app and accessibility before.
Nice
Good tip. the lights going out bugged me too.
please help. cant find menu with backlight on
Can't find menu with backlight on. Please help.
hey there,
i just figured out how to do this with a non-rooted phone on ics without tasker.
go to settings, display and touch key light duration. increase it to 6 seconds and that will give you enough time to type..
Weird.
I'm on CM10.2 (131117) and since I set the backlight time (in CM10.2 1309xx, I think) to 5 seconds it will always stay on if I open the hardware keyboard.
Maybe I should write me something with tasker to change this in the opposite direction :laugh:
Hi guys!
I was wondering if there is an app or a tweak that I can use in order to customize the behavior of the buttons on our device, S2 PLUS. Shortly put, I would like to use the long-press menu button action to lock the device. I have searched for apps to lock/wake the device without using the physical button, but most of them use the proximity sensor or drain the battery - and I do not want apps that do that. Btw, I am running the stock version of Android 4.2.2 on my S2 PLUS, and the phone is rooted. Thanks!
First, please forgive me if there's a sub thread for this phone. I didn't find it, and the help saying use the device forum went back to the menu where I already didn't find it. ?
My issue is that my HTC 10 suddenly decided that every press of the overview button will now activate split screen, not just long press. I remember when I first turned this function on there was an option did I want it to activate split screen on normal press or long press, but now I've spent two days on Google and cannot find this option! I can't seem to turn the function on or off as the help pages refer to menus I do not have. (Device and Multi window - they aren't there!!) and other help only tells me that long press should be working. I've had no updates since it was last working normally.
Please, anyone know where this option is hidden?

Go to your application manager and find the app(s) that control split screen and clear data and wipe cache.

Any ideas what I'm looking for? I had a scroll through and nothing jumped out at me to be the service the controls this feature. Then again, they have names that aren't particularly intuitive.
Update - Looks like I found it, thanks. I cleared out system UI and it's normal again. Still odd that the option vanished, it was definitely an easy menu.
