Depends on what rom you're running. You can definitely do that with SlimBean...not sure about any TW roms.

[Q] answer incomming call by pressing a hard button?

Like thread name says, is there any way to answer to a call just pressing any hard button like home button?
i think there's such possibility in any custom rom based on CM, you can go to CM settings and set the power button to do this.
thank for reply
but i am using original SE 2.1 ROM
is there this possibility in this Rom too? i extremely need it.
i dont think there is, sorry.

I'm quite sure that root access is a must for key remap on Android. Ah I miss the WinMo days...

I was looking all over the internet for app or script for ending a call with back button and there was no way nay app would do that. But try this maybe

@Charmed .. so do I. I'll now try this, it should work on CM, but I think it's not working on stock ROM...
Tasker can do this and much more. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890596

[Q] Application Defaults Reset

Hey guys,
Whenever I restart my phone (or turn it on), a dialog pops up asking me to select my default launcher. I select it and press always.
The next time I turn on my phone, the same popup appears even though I selected always.
How come the defaults aren't sticking?
Thanks in advance.

More information may be needed...
Are you rooted or not? If rooted, what ROM are you running?
Also helpful; Does this happen for all app defaults or just the launcher and if just the launcher, which one are you trying to make default?

I am not rooted.
It only appears to be the launcher. I am setting it to be the Standard Launcher (as opposed to the Easy Mode).
Try:
Manage Apps => Reset app preferences

Nope, didn't work.
When I power on the device, I get the following popup "Complete action using" and I have Easy Launcher and TouchWiz home. I select the latter and tap always. This doesn't hold though the next time I power on my device.

You could remove TouchWiz Home with TiBu, then it has no choice but to use Easy Launcher.

Yes Easylauncher is preinstalled by default.

Do a test... Get nova or apex... See if they stick... Then you'll know if its a launcher issue... Whether or not they get saved to the launcher or the ROM...
The issue still persists. I know that other people have had this problem.

How to light the screen with home button?

If you're talking about long press to turn the flashlight on, go to hardware key mapping and set it to torch.
Edit: or do you mean home button wake?
hi I dont mean that
yes, the home button wake. How to enable that?
I think that should be enabled by default. Isn't it.
most roms are. except the Alliance rom. dont know why......

I'm relatively new to Nova, is there a way to swap the menu and recent apps with Nova. I can't seem access the menu function with this launcher.
swap without this mod or swap with this mod u mean?
Sorry I meant without the MOD, since I'm not rooted. I thought nova might have this, but I can't seem to find it.
to swap it no way thats y I made the mod most things you have to root.

Gravity box (navigation keys), I run nova and the single tap of recent = menu. Long press = recent apps

Thanks for making this! I still haven't gotten used to tap-recents, long press-menu
but a few questions
1. For stock Touchwiz is it tap - menu and long press-recents yeah?
2. Could I just back up the Generic.kl file in the device and take the one from the zip to replace? And vice versa if I wanted to go back to just replace it with the old one?
3. Also can you/I just replace the generic.kl file in the zip with the one on the device to make a flashable version to go back? Or is making flashable zips not as easy or simple as I thought? Lol

touchwiz i dont think they have a way to assign long button behavior so dont think long press would bring recents and second yes if u replace after u flash my zip and want the old way back yes switch the generic file and u should be back or u can backup rom and restore.

Wait so the mod only makes the button the menu button a single option button? If so how do you get to the recent apps?

I did that for a while but the downside is you have to be already on the homescreen for it to work... At least on beta 4. I looked into doing this mod myself but just decided on Gravitybox vs Wanam. You get way more options for customization. But this is cool for those with issues with xposed or who prefer Wanam module Good work!
I used Gravitybox to remap the recents button to short press=menu, long press=recents. Needs root & Xposed obvs, but it works. I also have long press back to launch google.
Weird thing though- I can't find any options for button remapping in Nova. I can set the home button to whatever I want but no others.

Wow, I literally do not have that option at all. Then again, I'm on the latest beta so maybe they removed it for some reason...?

It seems the Android TV OS itself is missing this function. Maybe Xposed will get us this in the future, but I guess someone have to write a root app that add the whole function.

That's incorrect. The functionality I'd there. Not sure how to use controller though. On a wireless keyboard ALT+Tab bring up recents

Ok, but it is always empty. At least for me.
If you have xposed, you can try xposed additions to remap controller buttons, im pretty sure there was a recent apps button option ........just quickly checked, yep

The problem is not the button. The recent list is always empty.
I figure its not what you want, but there's a running apps section of the SETTINGS/DEVICE/APPS. I just force stop any misbehaving apps from there.

Are you running stock or custom firmware?
Root/No root?
Xposed/no xposed?
stock rooted. The developer of halauncher stated that he can't implement such recent app list on Android tv because it is missing the code for it.

Haven't revisited the functionality since viewing this thread, but i do recall it being empty. But I do think I've had success in the quick Alt+Tab to flip back and forth between 2 most current apps
It's there

check this thread. I described how I was doing it before. Just got my RMA from Nvidia and I'm oem unlocking right now. Maybe those wacky people over at Gooogle took it out since the latest update. or just use OmniSwitch http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help/recent-apps-t3150450
I wish they'd add in the app switcher/task manager as well. I don't like the way it appears there's something running in the background when I just hit the home button on the controller. Pandora appears to be running, for example, if you just hit the home button.
