I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.
Does anyone know what could cause this?

I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause

The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.
Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good

With all the made skillz here at XDA.
Do you think someone can whip up an app that when you hold the Search button, instead of picking voice search, it can open up the Camera app?

I believe long presses are handled by the kernal so it should be possible but I am not sure how.
Currently, long press on the search opens google talk...maybe long press on the menu or something?
Good idea though

You get the option for powerstrip or chompsms to take over that button.
I would love an app to launch whatever you want, like the camera or the phone app.
Surely this should be super easy to make

I would like it to be used for voice input in emails/texts. The tiny mic button is hard to hit on the Android keyboard.
I use LaunchPro and setup the app drawer swipe up gesture to open camera, works well for me.
great suggestion.. using that now
Use the android market app called 'Button Shortcut' i made the long-press search open camera instead of google search.

Not seeing how to get to the swipe features. How can I do that?

I don't know about launcher pro but I do exactly the same in ADW. I took LP off after I discovered this in ADW, I never saw this in LP, did I miss it?

Press and hold one of the apps in the app drawer until the menu pops up. Select 'Swipe Gesture Action'

I took the advice. Since I already had handcent SMS assigned to the button and voice search had been assigned before that I got a nice little menu out of it. I think its more useful w/o selecting a default

button shortcut worked once for me and then did nothing. uninstalled. Anyone got anything better?
I've got a rooted G2 with CyanogenMod, and I somehow replaced the phone icon in the launcher "dock" with the maps icon... I have no idea how to fix it. ;_;

Long press on home screen and make a short cut to the "phone" app. Then long press on that shortcut you just made and drag it to the desired position on the dock bar.

Thank you! I would have figured it out sooner or later, but I kept trying to do things that I could see easily happening in my pocket.
Is there a way to reassign the search button to a different function instead of search? Like launch the camera or take a picture? Maybe even have the different soft buttons function as different alerts for email, text, calls, or calendar?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I saw something like that in the Market but can't recall anything about it beyond that. Sorry couldn't be more help.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
LaunchKey would be what you're looking for, well at least for reassigning the search key function to open other apps.
If you dig deeper in this area you will find it. They have been able to have it open the camera.

+1 i looked through many posts. Launcherkey allows the long press but id like to use the search key for something else as i never use it. Id like to just hit it once as normal. Is there a link for any threads pertaining to this?
I prefer to use my search button like THIS.
good day.

I'm looking for a simple app that allows the the Atrix to be woken up via the volume buttons.
I know that there are several other apps, but they all center around removing the lock screen, or replacing it. I *want* the lock screen, I just also want to be able to use the volume keys to wake the phone up.
Is there ANYTHING out there like this? Just this SIMPLE function? I'd even use a bloated app if it allowed me to use the stock lock screen.
Just try widget locker. You can customize it so it can be simple like you want it.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
"No Lock". Flawless & free..

I gave it a try, and it *almost* works like I want it. I use the fingerprint to unlock, and if you have both the pattern and the fingerprint set, it appears as though after the device wakes up you still need to swipe the screen. This is a hassle. Maybe I'm missing something in the configuration? Also, it appears that WidgetLocker is laggy as hell.

I specifically said that I *WANT* my lock screen.
I only need the ability to wake up the device by pressing a volume key.

I'm not sure why you are upset?
I asked for an application that allowed me to keep my factory lock screen, and NoLock does not do that. If you have "NoLock" enabled, then the volume keys wake up the phone... they also UNLOCK the phone. If you disable "NoLock", you have the lock screen back, but the volume keys do not wake the phone.
Maybe if you had actually read the post, you would have realized why I responded the way I did.
I know there's an app for it. But I can't remember.
One thing is if you have tasker set context volume buttons, task screen on.

I cant find any way to choose the volume button in tasker context. any helpful suggestions?
I'm just starting out with Tasker, and man are there some endless possibilities. I also can't find any references to the volume buttons. Any help would be appreciated.

Me too, that would be perfect.
For now, you caa use "anyunlock" on market. This tool is not stable if you use with advance task killer and fast reboot. This is shorterm solution with me!

This app right in the FAQ section says, "Can I use the standard Android Lock Screen", and the answer from the developer is no... Still not what I'm looking for.
Any luck finding that?
WidgetUnlocker now allegedly supports the finger print scanner of the ATRIX. I have found it unreliable at BEST.
I'm waiting for another release to see if the capability gets more stable.
The problem with wu is that it's canceling the slide to answer and that renders it useless.

Nolock will prevent full lockscreen but allow to bring out of sleep mode via either volume buttons or power button. The timed sleep mode in settings will put phone to sleep.

I think my title explains everything. I removed the navbar on the bottom and with Button Savior everything is running perfectly but I am worried when Button Savior crashes I will need a backup to get to my home screen. What I am looking for is when I push+hold the power I would like a extra option to go home.
Is this possible? Is there already an app that does this?
Bump.
Maybe tasker can do something? Not sure..
