[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dman2011:
Hi,

I've got Galaxy S2 on Android 2.3.4 (Basband I9100XXKH3 Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKH3-CL479037 Build GINGERBREAD.XXKH3)

There's a problem and another niggle I have.

The problem is that when I double-tap the home key, I get the Voice Talk asking me "what would I like to do?"

I want to disable this.

It seems that sometimes this happens by accident - either because I accidentally double-tap or because the hardware/software mis-interprets a single press as two. Read about this somewhere else on the web too.

All I really want to do is for double-tap to just return me to the home screen.

The slight delay that occurs when pressing the home key I'm told is because of the double-tap feature.

I've tried a few methods I found on line but none were actually solutions.

I found an alternative launcher but it turned out that the fix was an irreversible solution, which I don't want.

Surely this should not be that hard!??

How can I disabled the voice talk or double-press on the home key?

Can anyone help or advise?

Thanks in advance,

D

:-)

You need root to remove system apps.

You can use apps such as Titanium Backup Pro to remove or freeze the app, or use a file explorer such as Root Explorer to remove. Another easy way is to flash a custom ROM with that particular "bloatware" removed. These methods all require root access.

Not sure where I saw this option once but it removed double click. Tested it and it worked then reactivated it.

Maybe Google 'galaxy s2 remove double click'.

I disable double tap home key now I can't restore it. I reinstalled firmware but it doesn't work. How can I enable it again? Voice commands works but double tap doesn't start app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xZeDgEx:
Just tried this and it worked. Yay!!!!!! No more goddamn vilingo this was driving me crazy!! :mad::mad:

No root, no custom rom, easy.

double tap a different behaviour

Awsome took me a month to find this answer, went back to twlauncher and the darn thing wasnt there anymore. Now is there anyway i can give the double tap a different behaviour? without rooting the device otherwise away goes my warranty.

Why wait? Flash the kdz get GB now. And OP good job posting this in the correct section, +1 to you.

[LG Optimus 3D] tourjefferson:
I'm another one that hasn't done the Flash thing so I'm still waiting for the GB update to be officially released in UK (they said next monday, 5th) so I will another week.

Regarding the ICS, oh boy, I will be finishing my current contract (1 year left) when they do that and possibly I will be getting something else and, preferably, a non LG phone.

Edited because I forgot the mention: Yay :)
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Well they only announced it officially today as the previous posts were unconfirmed speculation but it was made official earlier today so thought would post :)

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] andymp3:
well that's good news however in canada we still don't have the GB update and I called LG today to find out what is going on and was told maybe by the end of December...I am with Rogers in case anyone else here in Canada was wondering when it would be released. Now for ICS....Did they say all countries would be getting it? Or just a select few? If it does indeed come to all handsets judging by the poor execution of the GB release it would be years before we get the ICS update...By then none of us will have the phone anymore...There is no way I am keeping this for more than 6 months.....I have went through 4 or 5 phones in the last year..I get sick of them very quickly...lol
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I am still waiting for gb here in the uk, so can understand your frustration, but can't afford more than one good phone every few years so going to stick with it :)

As for ics it apparently will be in all countries, and it seems around march 2012 though the dwte is just informed experts views not my own.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] grantith:
If we see GB by March 2012 I'll be shocked. ugh. so frustrating.
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
when is that again...supposed to be released when Android 5.0 was out.

Argh! LG.
[LG Optimus 3D] Hafo29:
yea great news but like we wait too long for GB update i think we will have ICS in close future (5 years) !!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] destroyerpl:
Lol
[LG Optimus 3D] smohanv:
Thanks for that. I flashed GB few weeks ago. I meant that GB is not officially out for UK yet.. shame of LG...

I am happy user of LG with GB... As mentioned by few here, LG may announce the release date of ICS as 2012....
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
LG UK have said repeatedly that the UK will be getting Gingerbread on the 5th December which is next Monday so it's not shame on LG as thats only two weeks after Gingerbread was officially released.

LG will be releasing the upgrade schedule for Ice Cream Sandwich in December so lets all wait until then to see when its suppose to be released before we all start moaning about LG taking a long time.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I'm guessing you mean its two weeks from lg's update release not gingerbread in general as that's been out for many phones for some time officially. I think it's stupid how people in the same area can wdit weeks or months depending on their carriers. I think it would be much better for the end user if there was one date that all users could use pc to update firmware from one release to the next.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pthacker85:
Does anyone know when ics will be released? Happy with gb but want ics :)
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Wouldn't they show schedule dates for ICS releases for Optimus devices in December ? 21/12/11 where are the dates LG ? :mad:
[LG Optimus 3D] k3vin168:
no update until sept 2012 og end of the year maybe come to 2013 . for LG
[LG Optimus 3D] xtian63:
meh when pigs fly
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
They'll bring it out around time new O3D does I would guess, as very similar hardware specs and new one will have ics so they will likely have similar enough drivers that lg can just slightly alter one to work on the other.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
For people with bootloops when flashing, this is a common problem with galnet miui ROM's. Please follow the following steps for a successful flashing experience ;)

> Full wipe then flash an older/weekly galnet build (not the ics build).

> Let phone boot up and load, then reboot into recovery.

> Without a wipe, flash the ics build on top.

According to Galnet there's an EGL_BAD_DISPLAY error with just the ICS stable.

Checking the md5sum is important before flashing as well to prevent bootloops.

Cheers and enjoy :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
reserved ......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
Woah, well this is new. 4.0?

Good looks on the release, will try now. Thanks !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
this has 4.0 framework intergrated.. it is not a full 4.0 base.

enjoy :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Please leave feedback, as well as what you would like added to the rom as I will be modifying this base to create my own. thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Sorry if this is some noob like question but does this mean the UI is hardware accelerated?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Not a noob question at all. Yes there is hw acceleration, as stated in OP. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
well, as stated the link is not working. Waiting for a working mirror or the link.

:o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
I am deeply sorry for this, I am attempting to get mirrors up but my computer is playing up.. what a terrible time for this to happen. If anyone could post some mirrors in the meantime until i can sort this out, very sorry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Thanks! Can't wait to download (once the links are sorted out ;))
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
Lol, no worries.

Patience is always good. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
If the galnet servers are not up by tomorrow (my time) I will have mirrors up and ready. My net has gone haywire and I am not sure what is going on, so I am afraid we must wait. So sorry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Hey, I really think there may be something wrong with the stable build. There is definitely no hw acceleration at all. And this is other than the bootloops. I had installed the weekly and then booted that and installed the latest ICS stable over it.

My only gripe is the lack of hw accel ( which I really wanted, without the sense bloat ), and I didn't see that at all. Anyway, I thought the hw accel was for the i9000 builds.

Also, I accidentally deleted my forum activation email on the galnet forums, and galnet didn't show up on IRC yesterday at all :(. So I switched back to CM7, where the browser is smoother.

However, can you look into this please? Specifically, there's major choppiness in the settings menu, and messaging app ( well, I have over 4000 messages, but it's smooth in the cm7 stock app, and laggy in GoSMS so something's wrong for sure )

Also, I only have a class 4 8GB card, so I want to know if MIUI is caching anything on there that could be messing up my experience.

Oh also, the camera is absolutely brilliant. I didn't know my G2 could take pictures that fast!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
without wipe, over what? i'm running bulletproof, okey to flash over this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Thanks for the feedback. For bug reports please do not post here, until I have released my custom rom. I will be releasing a modified version in the near future once I sort out some things, then you may flood me with bugs reports :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Haha sorry. I didn't mean for it to be a bug report. I just wanted it to be information. I really don't want to create another forum account on the galnet forums so I can flood them :P.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
First full wipe then flash the rom, then reboot back into recovery and flash again without wipe. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
That is fine my friend, all feedback and information is welcome :)

If anyone has ideas of what they would like to see in my upcoming rom please pm me with ideas or post. All ideas are welcome, and using the plain base of galnet will be good because it will give you guys an idea of what's missing and what can be improved, which is what I aim to bring to the community. thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
Could you include the ICS gmail app into your version?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
will do. I like that app :p expect a custom rom in a week or two, for now just the galnet versions will be up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
No use, still loops :/

SuperWipeG2+

flash 2.11.26

reflash over

bootloops

reflash over

bootloop

restoring bulletproof.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KyuubiKing:
I think he means you have to full wipe, flash rom, reboot straight into recovery (Not boot rom) and reflash rom before you try first boot. I dont have the Rom yet but ill try it and see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Yes this is what I meant, sorry if my instructions were not clear enough. This problem is on behalf of galnet, I think it might have something to do with the boot.img

I will try sort this out once my custom rom is released, for now we must deal with it unless galnet can fix it. sorry guys
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
i didn't boot to rom on first try, but didn't reboot recovery, just flashed, flashed, boot looped, flashed and still looped. how could rebooting recovery do any difference o.O
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Check the md5sum, this could also be the problem. It is 2am here I need some sleep, I will look into fixes tomorrow. Try look on galnet forums in the meantime as the problem lies with them, thank you and goodnight all
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
can i flash this version over the previous galnet ics build? or do i need to wipe everything?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
give it a try, and if it fails wipe and flash...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
shall do, im gna backup my apps first and then flash over it and see what the results are...shall tell u once the servers are back up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
If you are coming from a weekly build, just wipe dalvik cache and cache and you should be good to go.. if not then full wipe.. but it should work by doing that :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
no not the weekly ones, the stable ics build
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
For the stable build, you may try a dalvik and cache wipe, but no garuntees. You should try, and if no success, full wipe. Do a nandroid just incase, and enjoy :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
read on the galnet forums that the solution to boot loop is to flash this over galnet weekly or older ics build. haven't tried yet, got tired of trying -.-
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Here's how you do it.

Flash galnet weekly. Let it boot completely.

Reboot into recovery. Flash ICS build. Do NOT wipe any cache or dalvik cache.

It'll boot.

Thing is, there's an EGL_BAD_DISPLAY error with just the ICS stable installed with a dalvik cache wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Thanks for this, will add this method to OP. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
I cant wait to see the custom one your gna upload in a few weeks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
Thanks, the support from you guys is what will keep me trying to deliver the best roms out ;) feedback and hitting the thanks button also helps :p

I don't want to rush a release which will not be of good quality, therefore the next week or two will give me time to refine what modifications I will implement. I will start off small but slowly as my knowledge increases attempt to give you guys an excellent rom :) remember guys any suggestions just let me know and I will try my best to add them in.

Also, second post has the proper instructions with installing the ics build. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
Flashed over 1.11.9 (Galnet ICS build), phone won't connect to gsm network o.O

finally it found some network.. good to test this thing now :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
flaSh a non ics build first then the second flash is the ics build.. follow 2nd post of thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Where are you guys downloading this? O.o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Iacopo91:
Download link is broken, however where i can find the old galnet builds?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nozdormu:
yeah thats why:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dk2000zx:
Any one interested in video walkthroughs of this rom??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Yes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
finally, a MIUI build that brings something different to the table! i'm going to have to check this out soon!

Honestly I don't see a point to the bulletproof or "tweakr" MIUI's as they are just as stable as the miui.us build.

Sure, I have had a couple soft reboots, but they are so infrequent that I don't even notice, and I'm sure it would have happened the same if the phone were still stock.

Good luck with the ROM! I'm interested in screenshots!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Yes, would like to see one. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dk2000zx:

Hi I just ordered a Note from Amazon in US. I just found out there are two different models? KJ4 and KKA? Can anyone explain the difference? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ookba:
KJ4 and KKA are simply software/firmware revisions. The letters are coded for time produced, revision, etc. There is a good thread out there breaking down whats what. The higher the letter/numbers, the newer the ROM. KJ is October, KK is November. In hexadecimal, A is higher then 4, etc etc etc. So KKA is newer then KJ4 or KK1. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTANIUS:
KJ4 = Android 2.3.5

KKA = Android 2.3.6 , FW thats improves smooth scrolling in screens.

But don´t worry : you can flash to latest release (KKA 2.3.6) StockRom very easy

using KIES or to custom Roms offered in this Forum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilanopro:
After reading above replies, I do want to know: if I update to 2.3.6 (KKA), what CSC will I have? Currently i'm on the Dutch one (XEN). By flashing KKA with, for example, XEO CSC will I still be able to have Dutch language AOS?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenophof:
There are a very few roms (CHN) who only have Chinese and English as language, but most of the roms do contain al European languages, including Dutch.

Hi to all in the forum, this is my first post and excuse my ignorance. I have this HTC, CDMA model and the number is ADR6225. When I factory restore, the carrier banner said Cellular South.

Nearly every picture of this phone I've seen it has a rather large search bar at the top of the home screen. Can it be removed? If not - could it be removed with root ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
P3Droid has done it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
by far my biggest gripe with ics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jake21:
Hum. But he didn't say how :( Hopefully google rethinks this feature of the software. I mean I don't mind it being optional and default but ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
If you remove that ... you need another hack to enable "search".

Because there is no search "key" (virtual key).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
They could bind it to long-press task switcher key for example. My x10 did also come without search button but it was bound to long-press menu key. Should be possible with software keys as well, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
I wouldn't mind so much if they let me resize the damn thing. I know it's important but I really want it a quarter of it's current size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stigy:
I think P3Droid did it by modifying Launcher.apk and pushing it back to the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
thye could let us at least be able to move it.. say to one of the other 5 screens, so its not on the main one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
I believe its constant across all 5 homescreens, but I understand what you mean. I assume you mean have only one, and make it available to move around right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
If you are willing to root, then you can do many UI customizations as per P3Droid's mods or Paul_Brian's ROMs. You need root because most involve editing the launcher or framework-res.apk and other system components.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jake21:
Yea. For me anyways I would rarely use search; so stuffing it in a place where it doesn't take prime space would be nice....; alternatively it could just be an ap that you can put on a screen as desired; or a menu option to enable / disable. Lots of solutions that doesnt' require it to be on every screen at the top...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Considering that you can't use the space that is left when you get rid of the search bar, I personally don't see what all the fuss is about.

You cannot place homescreen shortcuts or any other widget there, since as soon as you pick up an icon or widget to place on the home screen, that area is reserved for the Remove/App Info/Uninstall prompt.

So the only result of getting rid of the search bar would be a blank space that can serve no function at all. If I had to choose between a blank space that cannot be utilised, over a search bar...I'd choose search bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Or just download a different launcher. My HC tablet has the Google Search widget at the top-left corner that is static. A quick ADW EX download and bada-bing, bada-boom.

I'm running ICS CM7 theme on my G2x and I kinda like the search bar's location. Eventually I'd like to replace it with a clock or weather widget, but I don't stick with the stock launcher very long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jake21:
Ack :( I though the space could be used (I do not yet have the phone). That is also sad :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omrij:
When you disable google search it doesn't remove the permanent widget?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Your absolutely right but the trouble is it just looks ****e so I'd rather it wasn't there.

I'm sure someone will work out how to reclaim the space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob6raham:
I find its design rather pointless, as soon as you click in the search box you're taken to another slightly smaller search box which has none of the transparency of the first...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
How about a complet transparent search bar? You couldn't see it but it's there and if you know it you can use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
The search bar should remain a widget, as it used to be. That would give users the most options, which is what Android is about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omrij:
I just verified and disabling google search in setting removes the widget.

(for those who just can't stand to see the widget)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
I booted an ICS rom and I was able to also add a much uglier Google search bar, but the permanent one wouldn't leave.

Sent from my Incredible 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
I just disabled Google search and the search bar has gone, yippee!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @home:
How do you do that on Stock Rom? I'm rooted btw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Go into Settings > Apps > All > Google Search

hit Disable
