(The firmware extraction isn't on the TODO list, don't know why it's in the talk page. People looking for firmware extraction should look at the "Installing_iDroid" page. Revert this if I'm wrong. :)) |

Easy Stuff
Virtual Buttons
Virtual buttons have been "put down" in favor for such a combination (subject to change):
Tap Home Button -> Menu.
Hold Home Button 1s -> Home screen.
Hold Home Button 3s (or however long is standard in Android for this) -> Task Switcher.
Lock Button -> Back.
Hold Lock Button -> Sleep.
This is just a suggestion for anyone intending to do this.

Virtual Buttons #2
Missing Power Menu
The above proposal doesn't cover the 'power' menu, normally achieved on an Android device by holding down the End Call button!
Things in the power menu, and whether anyone will even notice they're gone:
- Silent mode
- Duplicate functionality - the other way to switch your phone to silent is to repeatedly press the Volume Down button. We don't need to worry about this.
- Airplane mode
- Duplicate functionality - option is also available under 'Wireless Settings' in 'Settings', and those who actually care can get one of the many home screen widgets that lets you turn this on and off with just a tap.
- Power off
- Oh shit, this is important - see suggestions below!
Power off functionality could be replicated by making a 'Turn off phone' application and putting a shortcut to it on the main home screen by default. Maybe it could even have a 'Reboot' option, too, to aid debugging.
Tapping Layout
Another 'virtual buttons' suggestion:
Tap Home Button -> Menu.
Double-Tap Home Button -> Home screen. (People will be used to this from having to double tap to get the quick music screen on the iPhone/iPod.)
Hold Home Button for ~1s -> Task Switcher.
Lock buttons as the previous proposal does it.
DNS issue
A couple people in IRC were mentioning it, although I wasn't really sure what they were talking about, as I didn't have it running on my phone yet. After I did get it running, I saw that DNS didn't work on the browser, and realized what they were talking about.
