Using voice assistant/google now with lockscreen - HTC One Mini

Is there a way to turn one of the volume keys into a voice activation during a locked lockscreen - ? Im used to the home button on iphone functioning as a Siri caller - there doesnt seem to be a way to achieve the same thing on the htc/android ?
thanks in advance for any suggestions !

There is an "xposed" module out there which will allow you to run chosen apps from a locked screen.

[Q] Sense 3.0 Lockscreen for Any Phone (Agile Lock) problem...

hey guys,
Sense 3.0 Lockscreen for Any Phone (agile lock) by Sam Caplat
this app for android... is very good...
but it had one problem... it wakes up my screen when volume key is pressed...i don't like that...need some control not to wake screen when volume keys pressed...
any idea to solve this...anybody had same issue...may be i need an update in next version...
not able to comment in official thread...so asked in Q&A
hope u guys comment on this...
The lockscreen replacement disables your stock lockscreen. The stock lockscreen prevents the phone from waking unless the power button is pressed. I am pretty sure that WidgetLocker allows you to not be able to unlock with volume keys and still bypass the stock lockscreen, but I'm not 100% sure. I use the "easy wake" feature (unlocking with volume keys), but I do think that there's a way around it. If not, you'll have to keep your stock lockscreen as well in order to prevent the volume keys from waking the device.
Best bet would be to pm or email the developer.

[Q] HTC HD 2 not working keypad

I have an HTC HD2 running an Android Nand Rom. But the 'hardware' keypad is not working anymore (probably due to extensive use).
Im looking for some mod or rom which has these keys on screen so i can keep using the phone. Anyone who knows something like this or a different solution?
Thanks!
ps. the hang-up call/power key is still working. So i can still get it active.

Hello it is possible with cyanogenmod based builds. In cm setting - tablet tweaks you can enable soft buttons. It is possible to emulate all key.

Access Multitasking ICS?

Hey,
I'm running ICS rom on my HTC Desire and the home button randomly stopped working :/ . My question is, if there is anyway to access multitasking on ICS without pressing and holding the home button. Like a shortcut or app or something. I understand that you can force close apps other ways, but I need to get to that multitasking swipe screen.
Many thanks in advance

You can re-map the multitasking button to search
Just search "search to recent apps"

You can try this .. but its only tested on nexus s ... so backup

Forgot to mention that the search button doesnt work either, and I was hoping do something simple instead of root related. Thanks anyway

Thank you for your generous help! But I have somehow fixed the buttons (it turned out it was a software not hardware problem).
Thanks again anyway
you can add activite shortcut then set the activty to multitasking application activity
Apex Launcher can let you make shortcuts to recent apps
Also, Button savior works great
You can try this tutorial to get virtual buttons if your up to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364757

Multitasking button making problems

Hey,
My multitasking button got fuxked up and it making the multitasking screen and split screen to go up by it self.
Is there a mod to cancel the function of all the physical buttons?
I have a on screen buttons mod so it wont be a problem not using them.
edit: I was able to fix it by putting # before the menu key in the generic.kl file in system/usr/ keys(something)
now the only problem that remains is that the screen change by itself from negative colors mode to the normal colors mod.
is there a way to cancel it? in generic.kl or in other way?
Thanks
someone?

[APP] Power Button Flashlight (No Root)

Hello, i was recently experimenting with this Project: https://github.com/epeterson320/flashlight
In android studio. Its a flashlight app with no ui you just tap the icon and the flashlight activates, however i added an intent filter to the android manifest allowing the app to be launched with the "Jump to camera" gesture, this allows you to toggle the flashlight on and off with a double tap of the power button even when the screen is locked.
Instructions
Download and install
Lock phone and double tap power button
Enter your PIN or fingerprint
Select flashlight as default app
This will only work on phones that have the "Jump to camera" gesture. For example Nexus and Pixel phones, OnePlus phones and probably more. It will also replace the camera shortcut obviously. Clear defaults to select camera again.
so yeah hope someone finds this useful
Credit to @epeterson320 for creating the original app.
Download below in attached files
Thank you!!! This is amazing.
Christ this is like the one feature that's a deal breaker for me, Xposed torch is great but not seeing Xposed for android 9 yet; and this works well enough. Great thinking and thank you!
Problem
Hello. I have got a problem. Every time the phone is turned off for a longer period, when i double tap a power button camera turns on instead of flashlight. When I turn off the camera and double tam button again, flashlight works. Have anyone got this problem too? (xz1 compact, 47.2.A.8.24)
Edit: I have found out that when i remove password protection everything works
@James_Ward01 would you be willing to share your source code? I want to see if I can get the app to activate without waking the screen.

The app I have on here for download should work with the screen off as I added both android.media.action.STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA_SECURE
And android.media.action.STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA
Intent filters, the _SECURE one meaning it should work with the screen off. At least this was the case on my Nexus 6p at the time.

It does work with screen off. What I want to accomplish is to keep the screen off when I launch from the lockscreen. I don't want the screen to turn on when I double-press the power button. Maybe this is impossible?

Ah, I don't know then, I'm sure it is possible one way or another but I'm afraid getting that to work is beyond me,
Couldn't get it to work with home button on S10 but works perfectly mapped to Bixby button ????

Yes Samsung don't allow the power button to be remapped unfortunately. Glad you found a use for it though.
This works great on the pixel 5, thanks!!
Confirmed, I was using it as well on pixel 5 until now, thanks!
However, new problem :s I couldn't resist trying out Android 12 Beta 3.1 and then no power button access to flashlight anymore.
Same deal for me : Pixel 4a, was using this app daily when I was under Android 11, did the update to Android 12, not working anymore... Sad

You could use System Power:

Sorry but I'm not sure to understand how your app may help : We're talking about enabling the flashlight using physical button shortcut.
Maybe I missed something but for me that's not what your app is doing, is it ?
Anyway, I'm using Torchie now and it kinda work : You enable it by pressing Vol+ AND Vol- at the same time, but it ONLY work when you're on the lockscreen and the screen is on.
So : "Power" to wake the screen, "Vol+ and Vol- together" to turn the light on or off
If anybody find something better, let us know. For now, this is a little cumbersome but it's working.
The Tap Tap app on GitHub works for flashlight by double tapping the back of the phone.
