HOW TO TEST YOUR CUSTOMIZED THEME EASILY IN V1.0.8

(1) Unzip SWKey9.apk

(2) Locate /assets/

(3) There are 3 themes in assets currently. Just pick any one to replace.

(4) Make your own graphics to replace all graphics can be found in /assets/(theme)

(5) zip the uncompressed work back to apk again

(6) After installation, choose the theme u just modified. Now, you should see ur graphics showing.

1.0.9 is a beauty! Thx bro. Happy new year.....
[Android Apps and Games] ducklas1:
GREAT Piece of Software!
[Android Apps and Games] Olioaglio:
jerryfan, really love your app and the latest 1.0.8 is a pleasure to use in terms of better visibilty with froyo theme. Waited for this a long time.

But may I add some suggestions for a future version here....

1. Place the Screen off button at first screen (as suggested here many times). It is definitely more often used than the Search Item. Another (superiour) option would be to be able to arrange button locations by yourself in menu. So everyone could place his favourite buttons wherever he might want them to be.

2. Could you extend the auto off time menu by 3~4 seconds? For my personal taste 2 seconds is a bit too fast and 5 seconds way too long :D

3. A long press to ScreenOff Button should bring up the LongPress Endkey Menu with the option to turn off/reboot/vibrate device (as hardkey does). So another hardware button saviour would come true.

Thanks again, Olioaglio

I have just updraded my blade to froyo im using 1.08 and all is good but randomly when i press the menu button the screen freezes some times this did not happen in android 2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
do u get screen freeze within every app?? or it freezes in a particular app?
[Android Apps and Games] securecrt:
I find the swkey app will cause some game freeze a few seconds( 1 ~2 seconds)

for example Fruit Ninja
[Android Apps and Games] securecrt:
I was trying to decompile your app, and modifed the layout/swkeypanel.xml to replace the search button with lock-screen button, after I compile and signed it, It runs smooth, but found one problem, when I long press the home button I got FC.
[Android Apps and Games] ngagephone:
every app but im not sure its button savior i think it could be su now as i still does it with button savior off.
[Android Apps and Games] altec1000:
I use tap tap app to enable screen off

It also uses the proximity sensor to lock/unlock your screen.

This saves a few clicks on your hardware too.
[Android Apps and Games] securecrt:
I find the problem and resovled. here is my modded version of swkey9.apk

1. changed the default skin.

2. the panel layout orientation="horizontal"

3. replaced the search-btn with lock-screen btn.

Jerry I am on AOSP 9.9.2 now with the 2 point 2 theme, not only can't I get this to work on my phone, I now cannot uninstall it, have tried many ways to no avail, any suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] rhacy:
Not sure what ways you tried to uninstall, but did you read the FAQ in first post? #2 below should help...

[FAQ]

1. Why menu, search, back don't work on my device?

Ans: Make sure your device is rooted. Make sure your USB debug mode is on. Make sure you have granted superuser right to button savior. After you have done all three steps, reboot your device and restart Button Savior.

Did it ask you for root permissions? If not, go into SuperUser and check to see if the binary is up to date. If it isn't then update it. After that, try to open Button Savior and see if it asks for root permissions. If it doesn't then go into Manage Applications and clear data on this app and try again.

2. Why I can't uninstall Button Savior ? (Shows uninstalled unsuccessful)

Ans: Because you have Enabled screen lock. In order to uninstall, please go to /settings/location and security/device admin/ and remove button savior from the list.

Thanks so much again jerryfan2000. Your updates and multiple skin choices are really appreciated, especially the Froyo version. Cheers!

Happy New Year to all!

Menu, Search and Back not working @ NAND Desire Rom (Cotulla).

Why?
[Android Apps and Games] northern247:
Sounds like super user hasn't granted access for it, have you had any issues with other root apps?

can you go with me step by step.

@jerryfan2000

Have not received your take regarding my logcat test and the path where you have your "camera path to SDcard" located in your setup. Anything to help me make some adjustments?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Hi ljjehl,

Sorry for not updating camera storage issue to you. I will get back to the problem after New year. I do notice some non logical behavior on my I9000 too when I try to take a picture. I think it is also related to HD2;s problem. Anyway, I will come back to this issue after the holiday and publish a new update if I find a way to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] tsynik:
Thx for the great app! The only option i miss is direct volume control from sidebar. I use android on MID in my car, and volume control (plus and minus keys or even slider) of current app is badly needed there (i still can't control the mid from steering wheel nor hardware volume buttons - they all behind dashboard ;-)

Please, add this feature to your future plans, sir ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] northern247:
Don't like the sidebar being horizontal, needs the option to swap between horizontal and vertical
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Just released an minor update today. I only added a new option to disable screen lock with some explanation on why and how to uninstall the app. I took 4 one stars today because of the side effect of screen lock introduced (unable to uninstall once enabled).
[Android Apps and Games] HansiHusten:
If possible, I would like to see a feature that includes selecting button option like 'select shown buttons: back, home' . I only need the back button, the others are totally unused by me. Would be great to have ONLY the back button in the lower right!

Horizontal and v. option would be awesome! then i could hide the gingerbread themed bottom bar in my rom... plz add this jerry ;) and never mind those one star voters!!
[Android Apps and Games] northern247:

Please add the flexibility of hide and rearrange buttons between 1st and 2nd level menu. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] zarathustrax:
Yeah, I agree... volume controls would be a nice addition.
[Android Apps and Games] northern247:
Any chance of getting the settings adjusted so that the bar can be moved even higher? I find with it opening horizontally it gets in the way a bit. So if possible could you make it that the "0" position is virtually at the top of the screen?

I deleted the apk with es file explorer, and nothing, dled the app called easy uninstall, nothing. rebooted, tried again and nothing. any suggestions???

V1.0.9 2011-1-7 SWKey11.apk

(1) Modified Froyo theme to 52x52 graphics and removed all gaps between buttons

(2) Fixed FC when saving preference and open Button Savior nearly at same time

(3) Added more timeout option

(4) Rearranged preference

(5) Facelift Button Savior panel style a bit (Very hard to notice the difference except on Froyo theme)

(6) Moved Power Button to first menu and move search to second menu.

I'v spent quit a lot of time to fix (about 90%) the one and only one FC in Button Savior recently. I think it is a lot more stable now. But please still don't try to press trigger icon repeatably as soon as you change preference. I will release another update later to make sure this bug is 100% fixed. Other than that, some minor fine tune and move Power button to first menu.

At first I liked the notion of this app, to save my keys from braking. The thing is using this app is not as comfortable as using the hardware keys. Also, I tried to search the internet for anyone who got his HD2 keys broken from overuse, and couldn't find a single one. Guess I'm back to using hardware keys.
[Android Apps and Games] talt:
Just purchased pro version. Was not that easy since payed apps are disabled for my country. I ended up by using market enabler to fake my location + fake address for credit card...

I'm having a small problem...

If I enable 4 buttons I get only first menu, but if I enable 5 buttons I get 4 of them on first menu + one button to go to second menu. That is not logical since all buttons can fit in first menu.

Great app 5 stars from me...
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
I did it because I have to consider landscape mode too. If i put 5th button in first.menu, it will be out of screen in landscape. Maybe showing both menu side by side is a better idea.
[Android Apps and Games] talt:
It seams that you didn't understand me. My suggestion was to replace 3-dot button with my 5th button. In both cases you have 5 buttons.

In current scenario I have:

[close]

[...]

[my_1st_button]

[my_2nd_button]

[my_3rd_button]

[my_4th_button]

and then on the second menu I have [my_5th_button]

What I would like to have is:

[close]

[my_1st_button]

[my_2nd_button]

[my_3rd_button]

[my_4th_button]

[my_5th_button]

It's the same number of buttons in the first screen so no problem for landscape...

This change would be active only in case there are 5 buttons selected, because for 4 and 6 buttons it's already works like it should...
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
sounds like a solution. ill fix it next time.

Sorry about that. This forum had the most info I could find on this app. Since the app is pretty new, there is not much info elsewhere. I thought someone else had come across this. I'll keep searching, but I'll check back just in case.

FYI. It is a decent tablet if you don't mind tinkering a bit. It is a cheap tablet to keep me entertained until the sweet Tegra 2 tablets come out.

Idea for your SoftKey in HD2

Congratulations Jerryfan2000 for your great work ...

Thanks to ducklas1 by reference to my idea in your tread...

Other sense skin for this app... :)

The buttons could work like this:

1- Exit (normal press: exit the softkey, long press: close call, double press: power menu).

2- Return

3- Menu

4- Home (normal press: go to home, long press: select launcher by default, with the correction made by nemith)

5- Search

and

6- Phone (to not close the app in use when making a call)

...or any better ideas on function buttons.

Skin:

I created new buttons, logo and icon (if you add just contact me to provide them)

Keeping in version:

Settings screen and all its options equal to original SoftKey.

Is it possible to program in your app?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] hardmusicfun:

[Android Apps and Games] mattfmartin:
No lag for me on the buttons. Reskin the buttons and I think you have a real winner on your hands. Functionality is perfect in my opinion. Now I can dump the app BUTTON Remapper and get my volume buttons back. My hats off to you. Good job.
[Android Apps and Games] sathara:
Mr bulider . one request . i dont know it possible or not.

in bottom of screen you can see three softkeys. 1. menu , 2.phone 3. personalize .

replace that phone button and totally edit that area and put all our needed buttons there. like . home , menu, back ...

i dont know it can be edited . .
[Android Apps and Games] rhacy:
First off, many thanks jerryfan2000 for sharing this great app to save the hard keys. Cheers! Moreover, thanks internauta2000 for showing us this app modified and skinned. More cheers!

If would be fantastic if we could get this to start at boot, as well as have it invisible until clicked on, and have it skinned with a transparent black background. The button position is perfect here... Just wish it was invisible and transparent when opened up. Hehehe... just throwing my two cents in, lol...

Thanks so much again jerryfan2000~!

Maybe a tiny bit here too...

[Android Apps and Games] white-energy:
This is magic! :D
[Android Apps and Games] pietrucci:
Only two buttons...

Same here, only two keys.

Tried everything: terminal mode and su, chmod (-> error Bad mode), superuser, root explorer (apk -> system/app), rebooted about 10 times. No error messages, no permissions asked, but other buttons still don't work...

I wonder how to give this application "root access"?

Can't uninstall application either because it's marked as system application.:(

I'm on MCCM HD V2.0.

I like this mod very much though...:)
[Android Apps and Games] elitishtc:

[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Can you try to uninstall first and then install from Market? Are you using modified version from other XDA member?
[Android Apps and Games] gagetier:
Debugging is enabled. Actually, its seems that only Back, Menu, and Search don't work. Power, camera, and phone are working.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
i'v heard that you need to update su and superuser to newer version. Camera, power, phone don't need root permission.
[Android Apps and Games] talt:
I had the same problem. What I done was:

1) install market enabler

2) selecet T-mobile austria (or some other market enabled country)

3) at this point you will see payed apps im marketplace. Fiind app you want on market place.

4) when you are asked to enter credit card info make sure to enter address from austria. If you don't know any address in austria use map application (or internet) to find one...

[Android Apps and Games] northern247:
using your version dude, tried to uninstall it, the market seems to think it has gone, but the phone still has it, its unaffected by deleting it from the security permissions...odd me thinks.

Might have a reflash for the fun as i am guessing it could have been caused by the fact it was a titanium recovery that stuck it back on the phone, maybe it got slightly mangled during that whole process?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
\sounds like you need to go to /setting/location and security/device admin/ to remove Button Savior from device admin list first. I had the same problem when I didnt figure out device admin gonna affect uninstall and then I deleted it from root explorer.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
You can change the icon side and position too from setting.

[Android Apps and Games] buzz killington:
I've been using this one with the gingerbread builds. When I change the lcd density to lower than 240, the button savior icon moves off the edge, and it makes it much easier to miss and push something behind it. Did it do that in 2.2 as well? I can't remember anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] northern247:
not had this issue at all, i use mine at 180dpi.

What app are you using to change your density?

What launcher are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] buzz killington:
Well I was using tytung and mdj's gingerbread builds when I first noticed. Since then I also noticed it on raidroid, which was a desire HD base.

With the raidroid what happens is I install the rom and install the button savior and it looks great. I changed the lcd density by editing the build.prop and it's still ok, then I used spart parts to turn off compatibility and all of a sudden all the icons turn to super tiny. I'll try a different launcher, I have just recently started using ADW, I'll go back to launcher pro and see if there's anything there.
