Just wondering if anyone else has this problem...
I click the app drawer open
Click the search button
Pops up Search Apps
Then, Google Voice Search overrides almost immediately and can't do anything but that...
Anyone else have this
Yes, same thing here. I never noticed it because I typically don't hit search after opening the drawer.
Yup me too, except I have handcent sms so when I open the drawer and try to use the search hardware key a permission screen asking to use voice search or handcent quick compose by voice for default. To me I think it may have been meant as a voice shortcut and I don't think its really a bug I kinda like it. My vote would be too keep it unless there is another shortcut that will take me to voice search without taking up an icon on one of my home pages.
edit: I didn't realize until just now that the shortcut to voice search was holding down the hardware key...maybe it is a bug ...hehe

The Hero has this function where you hold down the search button and it launches google voice search, or the other option messaging.
I noticed when you press this while in the "all programs" screen, it activates it immediately even if you just press it.
This bug won't let me search all programs. Anybody have a workaround for this?
Maybe disabling the long press?
Even uninstalling Google Search voice, it just exits all programs when you do a search button.
I'm using the Modaco 1.1 core, I'm not sure if this is the same with the stock hero.
Thanks!
I still have the stock Hero ROM.
When I press the magnifying glass hw button while in all programs, it briefly flashes the 'Search programs'. But then closes all progs and takes me back to Home with the Google voice search in the foreground
I definitely still haven't found a workaround for this, and this is definitely a bug.
Hopefully sprint fixes this on the upcoming update.
After a little more research, apparently this has alot to do with handcent's quick text message function problem goes away when you uninstall handcent. which is kinda retarded.

Hmm...I never installed handcent. Don't do a lot of text messaging so I left that alone. Maybe uninstalling handcent fixes something? Who knows..
I just tried this, and don't seem to have a problem... I press the button for all programs, then press the magnifying glass and I can "search programs"... I have a European Hero, maybe that makes the difference ? Don't know...
This is odd, but I noticed this thread, had the same issue with google search (voice search) crashing when the program tray was open. But I also had (still have) the issue of updated programs not updating title/icon correctly after a reboot.
After reading up I saw that clearing out the boot-cache fixed the program title/icon issue. I did this and noticed that the I no longer got a crash when I hit the search icon (the magnifying glass hardware button) while the program tray was open.
See if it works for you, but basically (you must be rooted) run the command:
'rm -rf /data/boot-cache/*'
and my search/voice search from the program tray started working
Is it possible to remap our softkeys? I tried following directions I found on Hero and it didnt work. Was wondering if anyone was able to change lets say, the Search button to launch the Camera.

What happens when you LONG press your search button? Mine comes up with 3 different options from various apps i have installed, including voice search. So I would say yes, its def possible.
Handcent
Quick Settings
Voice Search
All 3 of those show up when you long press the search key. So I'm sure you can have it launch the camera, just have to know how to develop it
I wonder if it can maybe be altered with BetterCut.

I get 2 diff items when I long press search. Voice Search and Handcent. I tried following the guide listed above and it just made the Search key vibrate and do nothing. Unless I screwed up copy and paste, lol, I dont know. Has anyone successfully changed any of the soft keys?

id totally ask this dude, if he came up with this than im sure hed know how to revamp for our phone, theres proably honestly little to change in process.lol i wish i knew how or id tell ya....
If I swipe right on a contact, make a call, but exit out of the call window and hit the dialer on screen, it doesn't show the current phone call. It just shows the default dialer. The only way for me to end a phone call is to use the drop down menu.
Basically, it is really annoying and I am wondering if it is just some small user error that I am committing.
I have been running LP since 30 min of getting the phone (couldn't stand TW interface) and almost a week with my phone here and no problems with LP at all. Try reinstalling the app or doing a master reset.

I noticed that earlier today when I was reading a tracking number to someone over the phone. It's such a pain. I just tested it today, went back and forth between Launcher Pro and TouchWiz. I hope it's not something that will be too difficult for the Launcher Pro devs to fix, and not some weird TouchWiz thing that can'e be worked around.
I have noticed the same issues with not being able to easily get back to an in progress call. If you press and hold the home button you can then tap on the dialer and get back to your call no matter what launcher your using. ADW does the same thing by the way. This is why I have not been able to jump to either alternative launcher.
I thought this happened because the dialer shortcut was linked to whatever action the pull down status bar icon was assigned to, but even if I create a home screen shortcut to the dialer, it still works the way it should while in TouchWiz.
I started a thread on the Launcher Pro forums. I copied and pasted the above onto it.
Edit: None of the Activies under either of the Dialer menus seem to work. I thought I could find whatever that static icon does and create my own shortcut.

I just realized... this is obviously because the static/unremovable dialer icon in the TouchWiz dock is linked to the same action as using the pull down menu and tapping the dialer icon. Still, I wonder if there's a workaround for this.

The contacts for me does not work by default either. I had to replace their contacts shortcut by long pressing and changing shortcut with the application contacts stored in our phone. I am sure this has to be an easy fix.
In zips creamed glacier rom (all versions)
when you go to the settings option for the messaging app
there is an option to show gesture trace then the sensitivity right under it
so i enable it and go back to messaging and it shows a yellow line when you swipe your finger where the messages appear.
does anyone know how we can set certain gestures do have certain functions?
or what the heck its used for
i know some devices and tabs have gestures but thats on apps and the home screen where you make a circle and it takes you to music app or something
but this is only in the messaging app.
any info would help
guess no one knows then?
ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
me too
I have a similar problem after flashing my ATT Captivate to Serenddipity 7. When I use the text messaging app a yellow line appears wherever I slide my finger. It goes away after a few seconds. Is it related to the Swype keyboard settings?
edit: found it, messaging app has setting for gesture trace....uncheck this. Problem goes away.

its not a PRoblem for me i just want to know what it is used for.
im thinking maybe you can circle an object then while keeping your finger down on the screen draw a letting representing what you want to do with the circled object or word.
but that doesnt work i don't know how to set it up.
its unchecked by default. i checked the box to get the feature but i dont know how to use it.
my question was what is it used for
same question. searching online turned up nothing X_X

As I explained in that thread to another user, the gestures are used to call upon premade message templates. You can set up those in the same Message app settings.
I searched and your thread came up and it seems you didn't found an answer either.
:good:

Thanks! Couldn't find this until I saw your post.
I looked around but didn't find anything, although that doesn't mean anything.
My question is that when holding the home button,you get a whole semi circle, but just giogke now or whatever that silly thing is. Is there a way of adding programs or shortcuts to this popup. I have zero use for the Google thing so seems a shame if I am unable to add more useful items to this semi circle. Could prove pretty useful.

I haven't seen anywhere you can add to that or change it. I love the google now thing, just to be able to tell it to wake me up in an hour if nothing else:laugh:
Try this app if you haven't already though, it will let you launch an app just by sliding in from the side of the screen, or bottom, or whereever you want.

Instead of launching Google Now you could get get an app launch list using 'Launch Now', which replaces default behavior. Just serach for it in PlayStore, as I may not insert links (10 posts rule)....
There's a way for people who want to hook into the swipe up action that may not be documented. Apps like "Sudo Quicklaunch" make the system switch the icon to a generic search icon and show you the standard action completion pop-up. (One can see this in the app's promotional video.) I haven't personally tested that app, but I have seen the swipe up reassignment behavior with "Secure Settings." The Secure Settings app actually changes the icon displayed by the swipe up menu, when you tell it to "Always" use that app, and Google Search does the same thing. Coincidentally, the same reassignment behavior appears to be possible with the shop icon in the stock launcher. (I saw it for myself in the days of Honeycomb with the transition from the original Honeycomb Market app to the new, unified Market app, because both were installed, it asked me to choose when I tapped shop.)
