Hi,
Just a suggestion, a module that can use a swipe gesture to stimulate the Back key would be really cool. I worry that I might wear the Back key out.

Hahahahh, good one, well, if you wear an back button out, you can use key remaper to make another button behave as back button XD Just like i did with my worn out Power button, remaped it to camera button XD
Can you kindly teach me how to do that?
Thank you.

Nope, can't be done. In fact, no one has yet to figure out if any hardware button can be used to take a picture. It's possible to program a volume key to open the camera, but NOT actually take the picture. I'm afraid you will have to use the on-screen shutter release. It's not the best solution, but it's the only one for now.

awww man, that sucks, well thank you for the quick response. gotta love xda!!!

Anyone actually know how to use it as a search button? I thought it would be long press or press the whole button down, or something like that, but can't figure it out.
Long press menu button (left button) is search on the X10.
Edit: I think the magnifying glass image means zoom

o'wow thanks!! I didn't know that it's been bugging me for months, and I always knew the keyboard was there, I just thought it was stupid having a popup keyboard, when the keyboard would always pop up when you could type lol
(now I know why...)

lol, i didn't know that either. But i guess it's not fully functioning
I tried it in ASTRO and i can get only the results from the 1st letter i type. ( i mean i can't continue and type the hole word like "bluetooth" or "music" it just register the 1st letter like "b" or "m" )
Oh wow! I thought that was a glitch! Thanks for the info
lol i love how se tries to improves the ui so that every1 thinks their features are bugs^^
btw thanks a lot for the info - i always used the button to hide the keyboard (but it didnt work very well )

I want my elocity menu keys to light up like they do on the new 10" version. Do you ever think it will happen?
I use (button savior) to bring button up on screen.

To answer you question... No.
Unless you plan to modify it yourself to make the buttons light up, it isn't going to happen.
Bummer!
I installed button savior which helps somewhat.
Hi everybody,
Does anyone know a Method to bring up the softkeyboard with a longpress on the back key? Normally it would be done by longpressing the menukey, since the gs2 doesn't have one i'd love to bring up the keyboard, for eexample with a long press on the back key.
Thanks for some answers

I'd like to hide it. Do a web search and follow a link. Then get annoyed at how small the window is

Your phone doesn't have the menu key? How is that possible. Also it should bring up the soft keyboard I think.

I think he meant long pressing menu brings up search because there is no dedicated search button.
I'd be interested in a solution for this as well.
I'm inclined to think there is a way to make long press back bring up the KB for rooted devices only, and might already exist from SGS1 complaints. Samsung took a page from Apple, by which I mean they made a form over function compromise.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't get how they made a form over function compromise like you said.
Unless I am missing something, I am assuming there is a field to type in whenever someone needs the keyboard. so what exactly would be the need for a long press on the back button, if you can just touch the field which brings the keyboard up?
Can someone explain to me if I missed something?
Sorry i ment that the galaxy s 2 doesnt have a dedicated searchbutton. Samsung decided to use a longpress on the menubutton as the searchbutton, so you cannot bring up the keyboard with the longpress menubutton. Sorry for the confusion!
And now an explenation for the question "why would you need it?":
If I want to play a HTML5 or a flash game within the Browser, where a keyboard (or only the arrowkeys) is needed, i can't bring it up without the "longpress menukbutton"...
On my previous 6P running nougat if I held down the middle button on the nav bar I could select information from the screen, whether it was text, phone number, or location. I hate that I dont have this anymore and the only thing that comes up is the assistant. I started a help message chat and they said they would recommend this up the food chain to be implemented again. That was something I used all the time and is frustrating I dont have it anymore.

This XDA article talks about how to get Now On Tap back.
Dunno if it works, I'm just linking the article.

Cool, thanks for the link. Honestly, this is the first phone Ive had since the Nexus One that I dont feel the need to root. I dont want to go that route just to get on tap back. Hopefully they implement it somehow on a future update.
Can't you just hold the home button down and then swipe up to get the same features as Now On Tap? I can.

Holy cow, glad I asked this. I had no idea that gesture would bring up tap. Even the help chat didnt know!! That being said, the few times I tried it, it came up with "nothing on the screen". Only once did it come up with a result. It didnt work on a screenshot of someones phone number. Oh well, work in progress I suppose.

It misses a few things (like the ability to select some text on the screen, and have Google research that text), and sharing the current screen (minus the notifications). Hopefully, those will be added to this
