Possible to disable "screen thumbnails"?

Hi all,
is it possible to disable "screen thumbnails", when man click the HOME button? It is really useless and very slow.

Depends on the ROM your using?....
I think the option to disable was available on VR12 iirc

Yeah it's possible to remove it on VillainROM 12 !
Menu -> Configure -> Thumbnail Settings -> untick Home Button

Thanks. This works. But I am using the offical 2.1 ROM (Singapor edition)

Change toggle/long press action & edit options of Quick Settings

Hi,
I'm on stock and would like to have my quick settings editable in a way they are on most custom ROMs: toggle wifi on press, go to settings on long press, and/remove options etc.
What is the best way of doing this without flasing a custom ROM? A flashable mod? Xposed mod? App from the play store?

hi, try this one man..

Thanks for that, but I'm looking for a more native solution, not something that adds another menu.

Hardware keys: how to set turn on the backlights only pressed

hello everyone, I would like to know how to configure the hardware keys in Gpe / AOSP / AOKP ROMs to only turn on when pressed and not all the time, for example, when the screen is touched. I have found ways to completely disable, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Try it with the xPosed Moduls from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Than install the Modul GravityBox

I already have installed Xposed and use several modules, including gravitybox, but what I seek is a way to configure them so that only light up when they are pressed, as is by default the official ROMs tw and some GPE like the kangakat. in all ROMs I have tested in recent days, by touching the screen, the buttons light up and not thought it was cool. In tested ROMs, as well as in gravitybox, there is only the option to permanently disable the lights of the buttons and that is not what I seek. maybe there is some file or script that can be changed to that setting?

[Q] How to disable home button unlock action

Hi everyone,
I looked so much for a way to do this, and rooted my tab and installed Prism™ Barebone V3.5 ROM just so I find a way to disable waking the tab with the home button. The way I found most used on the internet is to modify the key layout file "generic.kl" in "/system/usr/keylayout/". I also tried modifying "gpio-keys.kl" but to no avail. I removed the WAKE keyword next to the HOME key, didn't make any change.
I have no idea how to do this, although it seems simple to remap a hardware key for everyone, what am I doing wrong?! :/ Or is there a trick samsung has done with their tabs to prevent custom remapping of keys?
Thank you in advance

I got this from this thread (they deserve the credit), I've been using their tricks on my Tab 4 for a while. You need to do a tiny smali edit to android.policy.jar. Decompile it with apktool 2.0, open smali/com/android/interal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.smali and find the method called .method private isWakeKeyWhenScreenOff(I)Z and add the lines in blue:
Code:
:sswitch_1
move v0, v1
goto :goto_0
[COLOR="Blue"]:sswitch_4
return v1
nop[/COLOR]
:sswitch_data_0
.sparse-switch
[COLOR="blue"]0x3 -> :sswitch_4[/COLOR]
0x18 -> :sswitch_0
0x19 -> :sswitch_0

LOS 14.1 - Swap hardware (capacitive) buttons without Xposed+Gravity Box?

Hello there,
As of now, Xposed is still not supported in LOS 14.1 as stated by the person maintaining it in this recent post. Is there a way to make the hardware buttons operate inverted? Right now the left button is "BACK" and the right button is "RECENTS" without any way to change it directly from the settings menu.
I have tried editing the file
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
directly from the TWRP terminal using VI, in the following entries:
Code:
key 139 MENU --> key 139 BACK
key 158 BACK --> key 158 MENU
But even after rebooting, the changes didn't happen. I checked the Generic.kl file and the changes persisted but no change whatsoever. Has anyone tried ButtonMapper ?? The pro version allows changing the button mapping but it seems like a temporal solution rather than a permanent, more elegant one.
Thanks for any help provided!

The free version allows swapping back and recents. It doesn't require root and is less intrusive than using xposed.

The free version doesn't allow it. Just wanted to confirm if anyone tried it and does it work properly?
Thanks for the reply!

You are COMPLETELY wrong, Free version Does allow Swap of the hardware keys
Just toggle when it say " Swap Back and Recents " ,will stick at boot ,but will needs to be reenable when dirty flash a new build. Been using since the first LineageOS build.

You are COMPLETELY right, my bad! Thanks for the tip and to @flar2 as well. I completely missed that option. Thanks for your work with LOS 14.1!

Just in case, this has been posted, I can confirm it works just fine. POST. The difference is that @XblackdemonX edited the Synpatics.kl file instead of Generic.kl.
