Change SOS key click count? - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

Hi -
I am new to the Android community and loving my A8, but I find it strange that it takes two clicks of the power button to activate the camera and three clicks to send an SOS message.
Is there any way to change the SOS key click count to a higher number, like 5 on the iPhone?

Press-to-Record button

Hi,
When I press and hold the press-to-record button it takes a good two seconds before it starts recording. In my opinion this is too long and I would like it to be shorter, maybe half a second. Is there a registry key or something I can change to make this shorter?
My second qusetion is I have no use for the Voice Recognition app launcher it comes with, I would prefer that I press the PTR button once and it just loads Notes. I can do that if I set the button to the Record program but then I cannot have the Press (Hold) functionality to record on holding it down. If I set them both to Record I get an error that every button must have a unique assignment. Is there any workaround? FWIW I couldn't find Notes in the list there.
Edit: sorry, I forgot to mention my device is a HTC TYTNII.
Thanks!

Omnia i8000 Buttons

Hi,
Although in OmniaII there are quite a few buttons, in the Settings>>Personal>>Buttons, we can only edit 2 buttons for normal and hold modes:
- The hexagon in the front
- The key next to the camera button
That gives us only 4 configurable function keys.
The keys we can't set are the lock key, volume keys and camera key.
Has anyone developed or found a tweak that would allow us to add "Hold" function to these 4 buttons, to add 4 usable functions/applications?
Thanks,
David

Hi,
Can you clarify 'works perfect' on the TG01 - I am using the (registered) Buttons Plus, but have only been able to get it to support a single alternative button press on the Camera, bottom 'Zoom' bar and right-hand 'OK' button.
Could you please share your settings which allow you to get it to work with multi-settings per button, and also specify buttons are you able to get it to work with ?
Would be really appreciated
Many thanks,

As known, TG01 don't have hardware buttons....so when I say "perfect" I mean as perfect as possible....
I don´t use camera button (I'm afraid camera could fail)
I'm using only volume buttons and the zoom bar.
Volume UP:
1. Single press: PageDn
2. Double press: PageUp
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Volume DOWN:
1. Single press: "Resco Audio Recorder -rec"
2. Double press: "Resco Audio Recorder -exit"
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Zoom bar: (Button #405C)
Alt+Tab (Change between opened apps)
How to map zoom bar:
a) Open AEBPlus (I have v2.6)
b) Tap Left softkey: File
c) Add button
d) Add Key (Touch the zoom bar: The program detects Key code 405C as Win Key)
e)Tap Add Key
You'll have a new button called Button #405C
Tap & Hold over the new line (Button #405C) and assign Alt+Tab to it
The program ask to self reset, say Yes and .... here you are!
some doubts
You seem knoweleagble: I would like to receive your suggestions
I onw two units of HD2, I am trying to understand how to use AE buttons, then I will surely buy it, but I have many doubts…
Questions:
1. Where can I find a complete tutorial?
2. Where can I find a help, to understand each functions? I mean, not FAQ, just a help file.
3. from AEBPlus Settings > add button > ONLY 2 hardware buttons can be captured (the one with white backspace arrow on it and the home with a home depicted on it)
the other 5 buttons cannot be sensed: I mean
- phone button: if pressed the phone canvas appear, the ADD KEY screen disappears and no key code appears
- same story for the phone-OFF button and for the volume up and volume down buttons.
4.
Since at least one button is recognized (the white backspace) I have set it to work as follows:
1st short press > open contacts
2nd key press > open excel
3rd key press > open opera
4th key press > calculator
But ONLY short press and long press do work! The other 2 cannot work (Therefore I cannot open excel and opera…)
Additionally: if I want to open CONTACTS, I just need to press short and CONTACTS application appears on my screen
If I want to use CALCULATOR > I need to press AND HOLD! If so CALCULATOR shows up. If I pull off my finger from the hardware button > calculator disappears and the home page comes back…
Please can you explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks and waiting for any help and suggestions

[Q] Button Remaping

Hi,
I have installed the Rhodium keyboard console on my HTC Touch Pro 2 to allow mapping of buttons, however i'm asking if anyone has a solution or know of one to do the following:
I would like to be able to hold the Green call button (Bottom left of phone) for a period of seconds and for that then to call a specific number - like a speed dial.
I have tried settings a speed dial on another key; 2 for arguments sake and then having the hold down action emulate the number 1 button however it doesn't ring.
any pointers much appreciated.
John.
