Push button; Launch bacon

Hello again, I'm back, sorry for the late post I've been a little preoccupied as of late as I've just recently found a new game and its been eating up all my free time. If you're at all interested in PC FPS's I highly recommend trying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Fall of Pripyat.

Now back to the regular theme of this blog! I was digging around in the settings folder of my beloved Omnia and found a wondrous feature, custom hardware buttons. Simply goto start> settings> General settings> Button> Assign a program.

I set my cube button so a tap brings up my Task Switcher, holding it brings up my Task Manager useful if shutting those pesky frozen apps that appear now and again (PocketGBA anyone?) and I also have new hardware hotkeys for my Media Player and Microsoft Word where I do most of my blogging from.

Since this discovery I've more then doubled my productivity with this phone. Having a hardware shortcut to "The Cube" menu was a waste as custom apps don't show up there anyway.

Thanks for reading and once again I encourage you to post your comments, let me know what you think.

  1. I fully agree with the cube menu being a waste, and it's also a hassle to use anyway.

  2. Thanks for the comment glad to see other people are actually reading these. On a side note do you think anyone at samsung actually uses the cube? If so is there more to it then I can see?
