Guest marind Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Ive seen a little pop up menu displaying recent apps on the vega twice now but have no idea how I brought it up. Something to do with the home key, really frustrating. It looks like the popup that comes when i hold home on my desire. Anyone worked it out?

Guest warriorscot Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ive had limited success with this it sometimes works if you long touch the home icon but it doesn't happen every time which is confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pyr0x64 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) launcher pro 'plus' can now add a swipe gesture to the dock which shows a popup with recent apps just hold your finger on the item you want to add the pop-up to select "Swipe gesture action" then "Show Popup..." and finally choose "Recent Apps" now you can swipe upwards from the icon on the dock and you will get something similar to: Edited December 7, 2010 by Pyr0x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Burns Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Anyone worked this out yet? Managed to do it myself somehow but can't recreate, really strange as it is quite a important feature. Edit.......... I have asked @AdventVega about it on twitter, he/she wasn't sure what I was talking about so if anyone can get a screengrab?

Guest woutxz Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Think I found it: Long press the volume up button. However, this is after I've remapped the volume up/down buttons to home and menu, respectively, as per a previous post (which works a treat, by the way). In any case, long pressing the volume up button now brings up the recent apps list for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest warriorscot Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Can confirm that when the volume keys are remapped as home and menu a long press of the home key takes me to the recent apps menu. Obviously the soft home doesn't pick up long presses very well. I would add that remapping the volume controls is really handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marind Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 A long press of the applications key on standard desktop works evertime to bring up an overview of the 5 desktop screens, I think long press home should work the same.

Guest obb Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 A long press of the applications key on standard desktop works evertime to bring up an overview of the 5 desktop screens, I think long press home should work the same. The problem is with the home button not sensing that you are holding it down. The other soft buttons are the same by the looks of it too. Maybe its because the buttons are in the notification bar, and that doesnt support the buttons being held down for that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Burns Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Managed to take a pic: Weirdly the only way I could recreate was launching Dolphin HD then quickly pressing the home button. It seemed to work because Dolphin was taking a couple of secs to launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
