Hello
After update to ICS,I am missing one thing: Copy/paste ability in text edit fields.
On stock ROM's there was the arrow button(I think designed by Samsung) with options. In ICS,there is the button,unfortunately only one option is available "Paste". No Select,no copy at all. It allows me actually only to move the cursor in the text,nothing else.
Is there a way,how to get this working on ICS ROM?
like this? http://theunlockr.com/2011/04/12/android-101-how-to-copy-and-paste/
or like this? http://www.google.com/imgres?q=sams...p=18&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:0,i:90&biw=1275&bih=718
or something on Market?
Currently running on AlBa ZCLP6 Full ICS Repack v2
Thanks.

Look at the screen shot attached you will find 4 icons on the top right corner, they are :
Select all- Cut - Copy - Paste (from left to right)
You need to press on a word or a letter to see these icons, if you press on an empty space you'll only get Paste
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately youre'nt right.
No more options.
Look at this...
Edit: I found a way to get the options:doubletap on a word. Unfortunately it doesn't works all the time,for example xScope Browser takes doubletap as confirm,so I cannot make selection. Is there any 3rd party alternative of this feature?

Seems like you're using a TouchWiz ROM and that maybe the difference, am running ICS Stunner and I get that menu 100% all the time by just long pressing on a word..
Sorry mate
Have you tried click once more to the arrow?
Yes,I did it. Nothing happens. Stock button displays the menu,this does nothing more.
double tap works for me....
new to ICS and i never knew they changed this stuff..lol

This has been making me nuts for a while now -thanks for the post -the double tap worked (albeit it's a bit touch & go) - it at least does the job part of the time. :good:
Thanks!

I don't need a lot of added functions, but I would love the ability to go "back a level in menus"
Maybe its I am new but can find no reference to the ability.
Can anyone help?

Not sure if you are running stock or some other mod, if you are rooted you can get the Button Savior app or Softkeys app. both present the standard android keys on the screen for you to use.
I will take a look at softkeys.

I ended up using Button Savior, because its got the option of having the button displayed permanently (unless you "x" it out).
You can swipe to the left on the taskbar to go back.
I recently installed ADWLauncher EX 1.3.3.56 and it was working fine and then suddenly a duplicate menu button is showing in the buttom bar. I tried reinstalling and chaning the General Behaviour > System Preferences > Customize menu but the freaking thing just wont go away!
I tried searching everywhere for a solution but it seems I am the only one facing it.
Screenshot attached
Mine has always had this button. But I find ADW is not quite compatible with the 7.7, especially in landscape mode.
Same here but it was always there. It doesn't really matter to me. Works much smoother than TW. Although it is correct that it's a bit off when it comes to landscape mode.
Sorry about that, i guess i did not notice it before
We will just need to wait for an update then...
Yeah I just noticed this too. Didn't used to be there. Not sure what happened!
Guys, just remove top bar, give more space for homescreens http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21833740&postcount=22

I understood everything very clear. There's no way to remove bottom menu button since ADW designed to work on 2.x androids, but you can remove TOP bar with "duplicate" menu button so you'll have only one then and also additional screen space which will be freed by topbar.

Ahh I see what you mean now. My bad!
This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

Until the backlight params editing is backported to CM10, you might want to try Screen Filter. I used that app since CM9 to disable the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Cheers!
Edit: Scrap that. It seems that it doesn't work (yet) on CM10. I'll try searching for something else.
Edit 2: Success! Adjbrightness works flawlessly!

Yeah, I noticed you left the menu button enabled. I've edited mine to disable the menu button as well, so it's all off for me.

i left mine on cuz there are times and places i need to enter menu but the 3 dots aren't there. maybe leo can add menu to the soft keys, ill ask.
In what app(s) does that occur? I haven't checked every app on my phone, but it's all good so far. The 3 dots show up either next to the soft buttons or on the actionbar.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.
What if we want to revert back to using the softkeys after flashing this? is there a way to reverse it?

just reflash CM10 without wiping data, should bring everything back to stock.
need not apply the full rom, to undo everything (including navigation buttons):

I would really love to be able to swap the back and recent buttons on the nav bar so that the back button is on the right side and the recents button is on the left leaving the circle home button in the center. This would make one handed use for me super easy as I rarely use the recents button one handed but the back button is my most used button more than home.
is there a way to do this and RETAIN google launcher? I dont want to resort to using another launcher if I dont have to. I was hoping maybe a root enabled app of some sort possibly?
You don't need to change launchers to swap navigation bars. Those two are completely irrelevant.
This is a custom rom feature, it is not yet implemented. In the themes and apps forum, you can find a tutorial on how to do what you're asking for.

Its fine I was on mobile earlier so I couldn't go out of my way to find the link. Do note that it may not be available for the ROM that you're using but the tutorial is there on how to do it. I can do the edits for you if you'd like but I'd need framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for your ROM.

I just flashed the MOD zip and it worked. stinks that you have to clear cache and let everything rebuild just to do the mod because if I want to switch back Ill have to do that over again. I'm thankful for this option though! Thanks again

That's pretty cool!
I did not know that existed. I found it on my Moto X Pure Edition 2015.
I don't know if I could handle status bar and menu swaps, but still cool to know.
I found this thread searching for navbar swap options.
Thanks!

In the Pie Control application, there is a option to set a button as the menu key(it requires root access). So you could create a fourth button in the pie controls app or you could even set one of your pre-set buttons to execute the menu key when a long-press is detected on it
Cool is there a way to show the stock menu softkey without using pie?

Very nice but.......it makes double tab home button camera to stop working and night clock also gets messed up. Also it makes the phone detect like if there were a magnetic cover on it.
