Great except one thing!

I have LauncherPro so when I click the home button, it always gives me a choice between LauncherPro and the original home. Can you make it so I can set a default? I want to just go straight to launcher pro then I select home.

The thread is one page long and your question was already discussed.

One page was too much reading?

How about double click home button for menu and hold the button for back? Just my 2 cents.

I have taken the source code and modified it to a be a row across the bottom of the screen, I think this looks a little bit better


Note the bar at the bottom of both. Ignore that ghosting on the second image.

If anyone is good at graphics I can use some images to create a fancier looking bottom bar.

I am going to play to play with doing stuff like this. For example. Press Home for the menu. Press Home again to make the meny disappear. Double tap home for menu. Long Press for back.

I think next on my plate is setting a default launcher application to use when you hit the soft Home button.

Here is the github respository for anyone interested: https://github.com/bennetb01/SoftKeys

I can't get this to install. The first one instaled fine but when I kick this off it says it will replace the first version then "application not installed" should I remove the first one manually?

Great work BTW. Thanks

You can uninstall the first one via the following:

adb uninstall net.hoopajoo.android.SoftKeys

Install the second one normally via:

adb install SoftKeys.apk

Interestingly enough the adb uninstall command resulted in a failure as well. I just uninstalled via long press at my app screen and was able to install via root explorer on the nook.

Thanks for the help though.

I do like those buttons, I'm not much for making things look nice, typically I just do back end stuff. If you want to rebase against head and post your git repo I'll merge those changes in to main.

I started using launcher pro and realized it does suck way too much to have to select your launcher every time. It's just 1 button press but I'm too lazy.

And for people re-installing, from adb you have to do:

adb install -r <APK>

Also to remove packages I use appremover, or you can use astro file manager with the package manager under the menu.

Thanks very much for this, sir.

About those images: what size do ya need? i can do them right now.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this piece of information, so this looks like a good place to discuss it. My wife noticed that you can always access the back button by swiping from right to left across the notification toolbar. This worked on her non-root NC as well as my rooted one. Pretty cool!
