Current problem is my home key button does not work.
It works when the screen is off - to turn turn on, but not once the launcher is running.
It shows up in xposed additions as 'home' - but assigning anything to it does nothing.
All other hardware keys work fine.

Hey guys, so I have been using my tp2 for a couple months now and I have noticed some things that could have some kind of App development. I have no idea where to begin with Developing apps and all of that tech stuff, so I'll put my ideas out there. If these things do exist please inform me, thanks
1. Customization of the Mute Key on the back - Personally I have never once touched this button because I dont use the speakerphone that often. My dad on the other hand uses his speakerphone many times throughout the day, but he has still no need for the mute button. Which leads to my ideas of being able to customize it for a push and/or push and hold functionality.
2. A keyboard that is just a D-pad. I tried the "G-pad" app which is supposed to enable to g-sensor to be used for scrolling, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it properly. I also tried the ZoomAdds scrolling with the Zoom Bar, this is alright, however it doesn't always work for some reason.
3. Im not sure if this one is an app, or just a functionality of the Energy Rom, but i downloaded some apps from the Marketplace and the majority of them dont sort out into the folders in the Energy rom (such as Games, Tools, etc.) Is there an app for this or you can control it from the the settings in the energy rom or something? I didnt install the energy rom on my phone, which is why I know like nothing about it.
I use Keyboard controller for your #1 problem there. I hold my mute button to toggle Wifi on and off.

You can also use rory's suggestion for problem #2 if you want...just map a directional arrow to a long-press of each of the 4 front hardware buttons, in whichever arrangement feels best for you (up/left/right/down, left/up/down/right, whatever)

Definitely. I also have mapped my 4 front buttons to various things...
double press back arrow = CleanRAM
triple press back arrow = Resco File Explorer
long press back arrow = YoMoMedia
triple press home = rotate screen
long press home = iGO8
Im just curious, what is the timeout on the double and triple presses? Like what if i was in a list and i had down set to a single press of the home key, and i pressed it a couple times, and I activated the double press function?

It's pretty reasonable. I was scared of the same thing, but it has never done something I didn't want it to do.
Thanks a lot
Doesnt the Zoombar program allow you to use the slider as a dpad now?

hmm, how 's the way i should ask.....forgive my language not so well......
my problem is: when i full screen for gaming, the cm7's status bar will hide down, and when i want to exit the game but the game dont have exit button. i dont know how to get back the status bar (back) from hidden.......
and every times exit the game i have to press on/off button and release the ram memory by 360* (*a widget from china made anti virus) then the game will erase and exit.
Install a app such a zmooth. It puts a little touchpad at the bottom of your screen, where you can use 3 gestures for home, menu and back. Works in all windows, such as fullscreen games or apps.

thx to you~!!! dude, it's working~
Menu> settings> cyanogenmod settings> tablet tweaks> disable fullscreen
Choose the other softbuttons you want here too, like a home button on the notification bar!
Otherwise, choose power buttons menu and add a back button... Home button is on the power screen by default.

Be aware that disabling fullscreen may cause UI issues on some games and apps where the controls and text get mashed together. Real Racing 2 on mine had the controls and menu selections all mashed up on top of each other until I re-enabled fullscreen.
Another way is to add back button to power button settings

I really like this here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smart.swkey for a few reasons. I can have it almost completely hidden (I watch a lot of videos and want the least amount of distraction) and you can also long press on them (which also works with cm's mods) so if you have the option set to kill foreground app via long pressing back button, it will work with button savoir, another example would be... I have holding menu button hides/shows the status bar via cm settings, that works with button savoir (actually that does not even work with cm's built in soft keys) I'm thinking about buying the license key so i can remove/customize the buttons but I haven't yet. I'm kinda holding out for cm 9/ICS. My experience with the unstable builds are that navigation is very well done and I might not feel the need for any third party navigation method.

That would be my choice as well yes, I've had it running on my KF since day one. Havn't bought a license key more for the fact that the only time I need it is when I need a back or menu button from within a fullscreen app
Ok so I have this SW related problem (ROM on my sig), where home button not always works. If i hold power button until the power screen appears, i can close it and then home buton works OK for anoter lets say 15mins only, so its quite annoying.
How can map return home action for lets say holding down search key? The problem is neither about button itself (works perfect n other ROMS) nor launcher (when killing foreground app phone returns to the homescreen)
I know i can do it from screen with button savior but it's by far not as practical as using capactive buttons and it's not what I'am looking for.
Other than that the ROM is very close to perfect, so changing it is not an option

I think, must check, that Jellybean lets you do that?
Well, even if it does, I'am running MIUI on ICS.
CM10 and codefireX nightlies (and JellyTime too maybe, I haven't tried) have that working. There's a CM feature in settings called 'Hardware keys' where you can assign different functions to all keys for short press and long press. Though bliind's MIUI is based on CM, it doesn't have the option.

I see...
is there any way of getting similiar sw on other roms?
btw i'am running the official 2.9.7 MIUI based on ICS straight from miui.com, not bliind's custom build.
I remember there was some app for that.
I think it's called button remapper, and it does just that. It's in a beta version, but I used it with success. It is ROOT, but you already have that.
If you can't find it then I'd be willing to pull the .apk from a backup and give it to you.

Well, this app was capable of mapping short press, but it turned out mapping different keys didn't solve the problem. I guess without official update there is not much can be done... Thanks anyway.
can not be! clerical error
Hi I coming from the nexus 5 and I love the on screen buttons. I love everything about the s5 but I not a fan of the buttons. I wanted to know if can turn them off or remap then so that they do nothing. Also maybe get home button to turn on and off the phone so that I don't have to use the power button on the side. Let me know if you have a way to do it. I prefer not to have to go and edit some XML file. If there is an app or setting I can use to do that for me that would be great.

Turn the backlights off in the display menu, install Gravity Box and set up the NavBar options etc, regarding re-mapping the home button, it's available on Custom ROMS but not sure if an Xposed module can/would work.

Thanks. Now I need to see if I can remap the buttons. I currently have infinity ROM which doesn't give the option for it.
Wanam Xpose should all need that options.

You can install xposed framework then install wanam , and go system > buttons > Enable wake HOME button .
reboot to take effect.
Enjoy =)
