I searched and did not find an answer. How does one turn of haptic feedback on this build? I turned it off on two separate screens and it still vibrates?!?
Settings/sound... 3rd from the bottom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App on fresh 3.2.0.0
Wow, thanks. So I guess there are at least 3 places to turn off the haptic feedback - confusing :O
Also, in the Language and Keyboard settings there are Touch Input and HTC_IME Mod, and they each have many of the same settings. Which takes priority?
Some time ago, there was a thread about how to disable the soft keys and keyboard lights. I read a lot of ebooks at night and it would be wonderful if there was some way to toggle those on and off. I'm not that knowledgeable about scripting and the like, that thread was beyond me. Is there an easy way to do this?
Another minor issue the CleanGB 1.12 lock screen. Great rom overall, very stable, but I have some trouble with the right to left swipe of the standard lock. Is there some way to change this to the upward swipe method?
Thanks for your help, I always feel a little out of my depth with significant modifications.

Don't know about the lights but the lockscreen is right in the OP. He gave people the choice of lockscreens.
Sorry, I didn't see the checkbox for which lock screen was the default. I guess it's the touchwiz version i'm after. No thoughts about soft lights?

Yeah he has a Touchwiz flashable lockscreen in the OP. As for the lights best solution is 2 words....black tape. I had heard some ROMs I think CM7 had linked those lights to the keyboard timeout.

There were some promising suggestions in the second page of that thread, though I'm unsure how to implement them. Navigating to those files in root explorer and modifying them doesn't seem to do much.

CM developer mkasick has looked into it, and thinks it might be kernel related. But even he isnt sure so we're all doomed for sure rofl

Okay so I got my Note two and I've only just had today to have a play about with it.
I have a few questions if anyone (or more) can nudge me in the right direction.
Firstly is there an app that allows me more control over the track I'm playing? If I remember correctly but I could double click the volume button on my iPod Touch and skip forward or back depending on if it was volume up or down.
Is there anyway of changing the colours of the notification icons at the top of the screen or hiding them?
Is there anyway of setting the buddypage to an app. I like the music one but it always reverts to the stock player.
Last but not least it's the one that I find most annoying. I have a small tab light blue in colour which seems to come and go of it's own choosing. You can add different apps to it and move it to any side of the screen you want to. Is there any way of disabling it so it stops getting on my nerves?
Thanks in advance.

You might take a look at an alternate music player like PowerAmp. I recall it having options to use hardware buttons to control playback.

Not that I know of in the stock ROM. I can't say about other ROMS, I haven't tried them.

I think you're noticing the Multi-Window tab. You can either long-press the back button to hide the tab, or disable Multi-Window completely using the notification toggle.
Thanks for the speedy response mate.
Yeah that got rid of the annoying tab thanks very much.
Not sure what you mean by disabling it with the notification toggle.
But at least I know how to get rid of it when it pops up.
So thanks again. It was doing my head in.

LOL. You hate the one feature that everyone was dying to have.
Pull down your notification bar on the top of the screen.
You will see your toggle buttons up top for various settings, such as Wifi,GPS, bluetooth etc.
Slide that toggle panel all the way across. On the far right end you will see the toggle for Multi Window. Just click it and the setting is turned off.

If you download and use another launcher, such as Nova, you can have full screen. That will hide the notifications, battery and clock…and everything else that shows at the top of your screen.

I have the international Note II and this does not have a toggle for the multi-window menu bar in the notifications pull-down.
Good mention about Nova launcher. I use Apex launcher, and use two-finger swipe up to hide the notifications bar. I forgot that was in there.
Thanks for the answers guys it's very much appreciated.
I can confirm the back button works to get rid of the multiscreen.
A special thanks to mcphail for the pointers especially to Poweramp. What a hell of a player. I had given the note up as a decent music player. I thought also of replacing the earphones.
But the bass is great on poweramp. Fantastic program.
i just flashed the paranoid 4.4.4 rom - the haptic feedback on it is mental - like its sending an electric shock through my finger. I don't want to turn it off - just want to reduce it back down to normal levels.
how can i do this? thanks

unfortunately had no effect on the strength of the vibration when typing using the keyboard.

That setting is separate, If your using Google keyboard then it'll be under advanced settings "keypress vibration duration", check under settings/language, some ROM's/launchers have the Google keyboard settings app in the app drawer.

yup got it, in this particular ROM it was called 'options for experts' or something - perfect. Sorted. thank you.
Hi all. New on this phone, I've searched for this but could not find, so maybe someone here could help me. Is there a gesture to quickly turn off screen (had a gesture on my old nexus that was double tapping home button)?
Thanks in advance!
You could try 'Edge sense plus' (check the play store) to use the squeeze function to turn off the screen instead of launching the assistant. Personally I use nova launcher and swipe up to turn off the screen.
I'm sure there are other alternatives as well, but that's my 2 cents
I use the app called edge gestures on the play store. Works very well for me!

Is that the app that costs 1,77? Wich are the possible gestures for screen off?
Do you have the possibility to use the fingerprint sensor to turn screen off?
Thanks!
Yeah it does cost some money but I can't remember exactly how much. There is a native screen lock option for Android 9+ and I don't think there is any fingerprint gesture. It's primarily for the edges of your screen.

You could try turning on accessibility menu in the accessibility settings if you don't mind having a small icon to the right of the pill at the bottom of the screen. When you click it, there are several options given and lock screen is one. It's not a simple gesture swipe or a simple double tap but it may be an option.

Tried that, and it works, it appears a person button, and when you press it, it gives a lot of options, and the lock screen is one of them. I will keep using until a easier solution if found. I can not believe android will not include a gesture option for this by default.
I hate to have to press a button to lock the screen, they end up breaking/wearing so fast.
Thanks all for your responses, and other solutions are welcome. Cheers! :good:

Forgot to mention though that with it, when you open the camera app, you'll get this '5 second burst' label on the screen that some find annoying but I, for one, don't mind it.
Oh and when you're down and feeling blue, that small person icon seems to be ready to give a hug so just look at your phone. Hahaha

Yes now thinking it could be a accesibility info. I really do not like it. Will keep searching for other options... Don't mind to have a extra menu, but would preffer a native app and not a installed one. :good:

It's swiping/tapping from either the left, right, or bottom of the screen.
I use Wakeup touch Nexus, which, apart from letting you wake the screen using the proximity sensor, also allows you to turn off the screen by touching an icon on the desktop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wolandsoft.wtn

I found this very useful, i mean... not the app but it moved me to find the right one... and i found it!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redmanit.lockscreen
This one can create a toggle in quick settings... (the padlock) its great!, you can use fingerprint to unlock, and all working fine (no root required).

Thanks, but looking for gestures apps or ways to lock the screen.
Check this widget out. It is invisible and adds double tap to lock functionality to any launcher.

Works without root in Android P or with root in Oreo and lower. In both cases, fingerprint unlocking works afterwards.

It works and adds functionality to accesibility. Nice contribution! Thanks! Although will be using this, i'm open to other possibilities. Loving this phone!
