it is possible and it has been made possible on other devices(like sgs) by a modded kernel and some libs
its called BLN

Because you got a GT-I5800
and we have I5801
Google to know the difference

I know the difference.
Look at the signature of tffcloud2000: "Samsung Galaxy 3 (GT-i5800)"
This worried me...

[Request] Camera button

I was wondering if its possible to remap the camera button away from the track ball and to the volume rocker. This will make it easy to take those self portrait pictures with friends than guessing where the shutter button is on the screen.

I believe he means in terms of every single thing working properly, and the speed being up to par with say a stock Nexus One. I thought to myself that I would never switch from HTC Sense.. but the quickness of Cyanogen is just too nice to withdrawal from. Once we literally get the Desire on our phones (you know what I mean), I will go back.
Opening apps just feels so speedy on Cyanogen mod! I really just can't revert... As much as I want to...

As of today is it usable as a main ROM? Also can I install it on top of cm5.0.5.3 or is there some guide that tells us how to go from custom Rom to custom rom?

[Q] Can an Android ROM be made this way ?

Greetings,
The one thing I have seen a lot of people complain here is about the hard keys on our phone wearing out. This is one of the major issues and i face the same problem. On Windows Mobile I rarely use the Hard Keys but on Android they are really used a lot. So my question to all you talented developers out there is..Cant a ROM be made specially for our HD2 with a soft key panel built into the screen ? which is available all the time !!
I know there are some third party apps like Buttonsavior...etc...but its not something which is as flexible as the soft keys in other phones....I have attached a screenshot to express what I mean.
isn't that what tablet tweaks from cm7 attempts to do? haven't seen if they work, personally.

havent heard of em..please be kind enough to elaborate on that
also i found this...not sure how this works...someone please explainhttp://www.xda-developers.com/android/customize-your-samsung-continuum-with-themed-android-soft-keys/
Try the app zmooth - it is on the Android Market * HERE *. You will never need to use the hardware keys apart form the volume and End/Power key.

This is something that is a native feature of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. So check the ICS ROMs and see if the ROM developer has turned it off or left it as a option for the user to decide. Also I know this ROM has it as a option.
Yea, as stated above softkeys in themselves are/can be present in all the ics as standard as the feature ics nexus itself doesn't have any hardware buttons (that i recall).
When I first read your question I thought you were enquiring about if the soft button panel could be present regardless of the state i.e when screen is off, which isn't done. In terms of being able to totally disregard the hard buttons there are proximity sensor apps (as well as some sound apps) that can be utilised to wake the device from sleep, I've used proximity screen off which works well, although i can't report as to using it affects battery life.

I do not think you can do this with a Gingerbread ROM because the onscreen buttons are not part of Gingerbread. But if you want to you can always try it and see what you can come up with. Also it is several launchers for Gingerbread that will give you the onscreen buttons, but I do not think they work with all apps.

allright. thanks again. I shall test it once I have the ICS rom again on my hd2.

Premium Suite, I made a very small video

I just recorded a small video showing the formula introduction and search in the new Snote app in the ICS update.
http://youtu.be/xuNOewO5yNo
Ps: I set the OS language to "català" in case you are wondering.
Do you have 'MY Story'?
It's supposed to be part of the Premium Suite, but I can't seem to find it
Very nice! Surprised as how good the recognition is!
Is this the German 4.0.3 official release?
Yes, it is the German official release.
I updated downlading the update from sammobile to be able to update through mobile odin and keep root access.
So far, so good.
About "My Story", I cannot find it, I only have "mini Diary", but since I don't have my language set to English and I never used the old application, I have no clue if it is new or old.
My only issue is I keep having both the new S Memo app and the old one.
no my story
and we can't take photos from lockscreen from android4?
I have added a few screenshots of internet benchmarks.
Unfortunately I am unable to make screenshots pressing Home+Power buttons.
I also cannot set the screen brightness sliding my finger through the notifications bar
There is a new option to show the battery in %, sweet!!

It's a trick from samsung when they failed toport at least one of the smart feature from s4 and s3

I guess that the smart stay requires a better front facing câmera to detect our eyes...
It's not working even in bright light conditions
our secondary camer has power(atleast) to locate eyes in bright environments....
I think there is some other issue

Touch Key Light as Notification Light

Hello,
Since my A300FU doesn't have LED Notification, is there any mod that allow Touch Key Light work as Notifocation light? Because I do remember, long time ago, someone manage to mod i9000 touch key light to become notif light.
So, I believe there is a chane to mod it in our A series phone.
Thank you very much.

I don't know exactly what the name of it, but what I mean is those 'back' and 'recent app' button.
Yes, those are called the Capacitive Keys or Buttons.
It used to be kernel dependent with the BNL stuff, but i've seen a lot of apps do this now.
I found these:
http://www.redmondpie.com/transform...d-device-into-notification-led-with-this-app/
http://geeknizer.com/use-capacitive-buttons-as-notification-led-on-android/
i had no time to test so dont consider this researched yet ...
the lack of LED lights in A series sucks...really short sighted sammy.

This is a kernel feature called BLN. If the kernel does not support it, then no app could activate it or use it... A500FU stock kernel does not support BLN

yup, i may stand corrected there, but i havent seen BLN stuff for ages...in fact, i've seen it last in S2 forums.
btw, i remember BLN being a battery hog...
Or... instead of BLN, you could use camera LED flash when receiving calls, messages, or notifications...
NoLed from playstore is almost as good as having LED for our AMOLED devices .
So, I believe, what we need right now is kernel developer, because I think we can get the kernel source of A300FU from here: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=a300fu.
Right?

You are kind of wrong. Its whole different in AMOLED displays than LED displays.
On AMOLED the whole screen doesn't turn on. Only those pixels that are being used.
And I can assure you, absolutely no extra battery drainage what so ever occurs.

But still, if there is any news about BLN, please notice me..
