Before developoing this app, I am using
1. Nolock
2. Flyscreen
3. lock widget
in order to
1. use any key to turn the phone on
2. use widget to turn off the phone
3. Use flyscreen to prevent the accident tap
However this combination is huge and invenient. So I deciced to develop a very small app (40k in size) it can
1. Use any key to turn on the phone
2. A widget turn phone off
3. A very simple lock screen to prevent accident tap.
Search AnyUnlock in Android Market and enjoy it. If there are any porblems, please report.
i like it!
perhaps you should include an option to enable or disable the 'lock screen to prevent the accidental tap.'

Yes, I will do that in next version.
It didn't work for my N1. I enabled the app, brought me to the 2nd window where I also enabled it and let the phone shut down and nothing, I had to use the power button to turn the screen back on. Back to nolock.
It was the way I installed it, working now but after installing gingerbread the trackball wake no longer wakes the screen, have to use the volume key. Still very effective but like the trackball wake.

Yes, there is a bug. If you don't allow the admin permission in the first time. The program will fail. You can disable it, uninstall it and reinstall to take effect.
I also couldn't pick up on an incoming call... it just went to the screen which shows the enable/disable anylock buttons. I couldn't press home or back. Uninstalled it for now.

I have updated to 1.2 with the option to disable simple lock screen. Also I tried to fix your phone call issue. Hopefully it is working.
OK 1.3 released with fixes to some non-n1 devices.
Works fantastic. After enabling the app I went back into settings and unchecked the lock screen. Now it works just the way I wanted. Thanks for the great app.

Interesting app since my power button is acting up, Thanks.

You can have a try. The power button is quite vunerable for HTC devices. I hope Android would make an official option to power on the device using any keys.
works brilliantly now! thanks.
maybe you should put in the description in the market that no root is required.
and an option to still use the slider when unlocking? that would be my favorite option.
just pressing the track ball brings you to the unlocking screen with the slider.
This is super awesome, thanks for making this!
Curious, what specific activity does the widget call? I would like to be able to shut the screen off using other things (dock swipe up, tasker, custom widget) etc. is it an android acitivity or one that is specific to AnyUnlock?
I tried each of the 4 or 5 activities in AnyUnlock but they didn't work.
Thanks for making this!

Just updated to Gingerbread on N1 and the trackball doesn't wake anymore, but volume button still works.
I can also confirm the trackball doesn't work to wake the screen up, but the volume buttons still do.
Hopefully the trackball wake issue will be resolved for gingerbread.

Yup, I noticed this also with other apps that disable the lockscreen (like Switchpro)
That's too bad.
No Lock too from what another user has stated. There's no way i'm changing from CM7 if there's no possibility of trackball wake!
Does this app just Wake the N1 or does it power ON a device which is powered off ?
I can already wake via the trackball using CM6 , but I need something which will Power it ON as my power button is broken.

Can't stand that annoying Voice Command app that pops up whenever you accidently double-tap the home button? Well, apparently it can be removed if you have ICS, though not the typical way.
Thanks goes out to Marrr over at AF for pointing this out.
Step 1: Install Go Launcher
Step 2: Long-press voice command in the app drawer, and when the red "x" comes up, hit it. Follow the prompt and the app will be completely uninstalled.
Step 3: Uninstall Go Launcher if you want (and delete the Go Launcher/Store folders it created in your USB storage).
It really is THAT simple!
Or just don't double tap the Home button
In a year of owning a Galaxy SII I can't say I've every double tapped the Home button by mistake

It's weird, but lately, occasionally when I hit the home button the app would just launch. It's like the device was registering a double-tap. Not sure if it was me, or a hardware issue. Either way, it was annoying and I've seen a few others complain about the same issue.
If you're not affected, then you're set. But if you are, this seems to work wonders.

I agree, I never experienced the issue and laugh when I see people complain.
I know multiple people with the S2 and none of them experience.
I admit, maybe it may be hardware; but I would think if it was hardware it would be on a larger scale. I personally think people don't realise they double tapped it.

And I laugh when I see someone who assumes that because their phone works perfectly, everyone else must have a perfect phone too.
Does this remove the double tap delay though? Always drove me mad about gs2, and I've always got rid of it as soon as I can

Voice command. Just filter for "vlingo"
i have a hardware problem, when i press home button, like 30% of time the voice command will appear, but i dont want to uninstall the app, there is any other way for disabling it?

Boys install system app remover, no need for root, and uninst apps u don't need. Quicker, safer, legal ,
i had the same issue (about 30% of erroneous voice command starts). i had frozen
the app with Titanium Backup and since then had about 30% of keypress failures.
Is there a program that shows if there was a keypress or not?
Thanks for a nice tip, that voice is useless in Russia anyway.
BTW, I also can unistall readers hub in that way, why it allows me to unistall it, but I cant unistall music hub, they're seems to be both system apps.
ES File Explorer can also uninstall it.
Select the App Manager then long press on the app you want to remove, eg Voice Commamd, choose uninstall, and its gone.

I've tried go launcher and it doesnt have a red x by it when i press and hold.... i tried apex launcher and the same thing. Anyone else have this problem.... please help. i'm using the SGH-i777 with stock ICS

I don't have the problem because I fixed it.
Search for root app uninstaller, install it, and find voice talk, or viingo as it is called, and uninstall the app, so uninstall root app installer so you can't launch it by a mistake and double tap and see what's happening, now nothing happens when I double tap home button, so it's fixed.
I hope I can help other people.
Its the most frustrating app ever even more frustrating than Touchwiz. Its like whenever I press the home button around 80% of chances are that it would pop up with that annoying voice,"What would you like to do ?"
And I'm like GTFO off my device. Finally removed it using Root Explorer forever after...

Thank you very much. Just to say so I went through that buttcracking process of making like my millionth forum account, but that one was worth it. Thx a bunch, I really have a device where pressing home leads you to the voice crap in 99,456%. Now its finally fallen off board. Thx again.
removing voice command easier
you don't have to change a theme or anything like that. you should download "Smart App Protector Free" and and in the apps section inside the app scroll down until you get to "voice command". click on it and choose uninstall. that easy
You can also use system app uninstaller from the market, just go into regular apps and remove voice command.

How do I disable the back and option button in Samsung Galaxy S4 on unrooted device?
I also realize that by doing this, the soft button (back, option and home) will resurface on the screen that will make the screen no longer a 4.99".
But this back button has been bothering me for a while now, especially when showing some stuff on my phone to friends, where I or others 'accidentally' touch it and change the screens to other things that i might not want to share with them.
Thanks.
As far I know you can't do that, be careful with management of your phone,I don't have problem with that keys

You need to root for sure- and probably modify some files...
Remember it IS possible should be... Though depends even on what ROM you use.
On unrooted device answer definetly one - you can NOT.
Impossible on an unrooted device so you might have to flash cf root in odin first.
I've done it on an S2 & S3 before so no reason why it wouldn't work on the S4 as well.
To enable the on-screen navigation buttons:
Use a file explorer (like Root Explorer) to navigate to
/system/build.prop
and open the file with a text editor. Add the line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of the file. Save and close. Reboot. Done.

If you easily accidentally touch the soft button then what can prevent you to not accidentally touch the onscreen button?

Hello,
Holding down the volume up brings up quickmemo. Unfortunately I use Google Keep and was wondering if the keymapping for volume up could be changed to launch Google Keep.

I was able to remap the buttons (short press and long press) with the Xposed module called : Xposed Additions. It even lets you remap what they do while in sleep, and do something different when awake.
Install Root Explorer (only one I advise for this).
Root.
Go into \system\usr\keylayout
Edit generic.kl and gpio-keys.kl (I recommend taking backups first).
Find key 115 and 114 in both files.
Remap as you wish. I have mine set to Menu and Home.
Save and reboot.

Not without framework mods, AFAIK, but I hate softkeys. Use AutoHideSoftKeys and get the best of both worlds.

I highly recommend using xposed additions above. It is fantastic. My method it's quite universal though. You can remap any hardware key to any other although be weary of remapping your power key and losing the ability to switch on! Look through the generic doc I listed and you can see pretty much any key to remap to. 114 and 115 are the hardware keys for volume up and down. You can change them to camera, home, back or whatever.

@Friguy, I don't want to hijack the thread, but if you're worried about messing anything up, get yourself clockwork mod or twpm installed so that you can make a full backup and restore. It gives you so much freedom!
Download xposed, find the apk and install it.
Find xposed in your apps and run that. Install the framework, and then goto downloads, find the module you want and download it. Go to modules and put a tick next to the module to enable it, and then reboot your phone to enable everything.
After that, find xposed additions in your apps and run that to configure it. My way is easier but additions gives you more flexibility.

Any way to remap the power button only when the device is on? i.e. only allow it to turn the device on, but not off.
No, you need the ability turn the phone off. if You get caught stuck our locked up you need the button combination get your phone to shut down

3Minit was pretty great. But development stopped and it was pulled from the app store. And I have neither the framework nor the corresponding settings app backed up anywhere to re-install. Honestly, cosmetics aren't a big deal to me, so I can perfectly well get by without most of those functions. But the one thing I care about is also the one thing I haven't found a fitting alternative for: changing button behavior.
To be clear, here is what I used to have my device doing:
Menu Long Press - Launch Colornote
Home Long Press - Screenshot
Home Double Tap - Recent Apps
Back Long Press - Kill app
Now, I know that there are xposed modules like wanamp that will let me restore my old settings to the back and home button. But I haven't found a solution that lets me alter what the menu button does too. I want to be able to launch Color Note from anywhere with a long press once again.
Solutions?
I also just formatted my hdd and have no backup of the framework..
I hope gary is coming back soon.
could anyone deliver a downloadlink in the meantime?
I would like to use the goldeneye 4.3 rom wit my I9505
