I'm hoping I'm not going crazy here, but I thought I recalled at one point that my Infinity had a feature that would allow me to slide a little lock icon at the bottom of the screen when in a fullscreen app that would "lock" the home/back/switcher buttons to prevent them from being accidentally pressed.
Anyone know where I can find this functionality or what it was called?
Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that would lock the screen rotation. Now, this isn't just a widget i'm looking for. I was hoping that you could lock/unlock screen rotation with the camera hard key. That way, you wouldn't need to see the notification bar or go back to the home screen or slow down the homescreen with a widget. You just hit the button, and it locks. Easy.
I was using my phone on cyanogen 6.1 and the bottom dock has disappeared, it was replaced by a light black bar about 1/5" tall. How do i get the dock back?
I haven't used ADW for a while but if I remember correctly you just press and hold your screen as you would to create a widget and select custom shortcut then open/close app drawer then just place it where it normally would be at
That is the hidden dock. Per default, it is opened by swiping down on the screen. Swiping a second time should bring back the normal dock

Yes, as above poster stated.. swipe downwards to get it back.
If it does not come back (which I've had happen if my phone goes into landscape mode) I usually just restore my settings from the awd options.
Also, if you want to completely disable the extra dock as I have:
Settings > ADW Settings > UI Settings: Under the "Hidden Dock" section, disable the first checkmark.

Looking to see if there is any ability to get the right capacitive key to do anything other than switch/clear open apps? I sure do miss being able to hit the right key on my old phone and it would typically bring up menu options for whatever app you happened to be in and also a shortcut into your settings when on one of the home screens. What a PITA having to go up to the top right side of each app, hit the 3 little menu dots and change menu options that way.
Anybody figure any work-arounds or other 3rd party apps that can help out with this?
It would be nice if Alcatel would allow the right capacitive key to access the settings or menu of an app with a long hold of the button. Short hold of the button accesses the open apps. That would be intuitive. My old phone was the opposite, a short tap would open a backdoor to menu options and a long hold would open the active apps for dismissal or switch.
Very much an extra effort reaching up to the right when in Chrome to have to go to your bookmarks...that's just one example.
Any 3rd party launchers include something of this ability?
Also a PITA having to reach allllllll the way up to the top of the phone to pull down the notification panel. My old phone with KK 4.4.4 all you had to do was slide down anywhere on the home screen and the notification panel would come down. Vice versa, sliding up on a home screen would open the backdoor to your settings menu.
These are my two biggest *****es 24 hours into having this phone. Everything else I've tried so far seems pretty good.
I can propose solutions to two of your problems ..
(a) For bookmarks, could a bookmark widget help ? I believe Chrome has its own , but you could also use the stock widget and have it open any browser. Of course this only works in you are not already inside the browser. You can also try a browser with gestures. I think dolphin can do that.
(b) For the notification shade, you can use a launcher than offers a swipe down gesture. I use Apex which has gestures for free, and I have swipe down set for the notification shade.
Cool, thanks! Hopefully Alcatel is taking notes for future updates?
Did your phone have a custom room or Launcher? Those are not standard gestures for kit kat or stick Launcher.

Hi im the user of Samsung Galaxy S3 Korea LTE (E210L) using DA Rom V3 (Note 4 UI).
I just flashed my new rom, so im having this problem.
How to Disable the Tap on the Right of Notification to Lock Screen and on the left to open Recently Apps ?
Hold on the Right also open Phone Options (Power Off / Restart menu)
I tap on the right of the notification bar, and that area is fade on, more Fade-White color than other area, its a small rectangle area. Then, it lock the screen.
I don't know if it has been scripted to my rom or not, i haven't found any app in my phone can do that, even Hidden App.
I have searched Google, with any possible word, haven't found anything.
Tap Notification to Turn Off Screen, Fade, there is something and someway to make it could be added!
Anyone can disable this ? My Power Button haven't broken and i don't want tap to lock screen.
Thank you!
Help me please
How do you stop the notification page from coming up when you touch the power button?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You mean the lock screen? You can disable that in Settings. It's under, as you might expect, Lock screen.
I don't think it is the lock screen. It has a bunch of icons across the top and a brightness slider

That status bar? Slide it back up.
Settings -> Advanced settings -> Side key
I don't see anything in side key settings to affect that.
Motions and gestures > Finger sensor gestures?
Looks like that did it. Thanks!
What a strange, useless feature...
