First of all I would love to share that this device is awesome. I have been using it for a month now and the battery life is amazing, same for build quality and performance.
I would like to share some of my customizations I made to my BlackBerry KEYone, which maybe could be useful to do aswell (also for Priv users).
I set my volume buttons to next/previous track on long press, just like the BB10 devices I was used to. Beside that I used a funciton called "Default to media volume" which makes the volume buttons function and change only the volume of the media, all the time (except for apps in the ignore list). This way you always control the media volume with the rockers and you can't accidentaly change the notification sound of the device (which happened to me often). I did all this with the app called Button Mapper (used the pro version, worth it): https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ar2.homebutton
Attachment 426436
I contacted the developer quite a few times and he even added the Priv side button (inbetween the volume buttons) to funciton with the app as Play/pause.
With this app you can also remap the on screen buttons of the phone. For example my BACK button is set to open the Hub on long press. For some people that want to switch the back and recents button, this is possible with this app aswell.
I used 'corner fly' to give my screen some nice edges, which looks really amazing with this phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rinc.cornerfly
Ofcourse everyone set the shortcut keys to function for the apps they prefer, but I would definitely recommend using short and long press to drop down the status bar (notification and full settings) which is possible with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ldownstatusbar
After installing this app you can find 2 apps which you can assign to a shortcut: "Quick settings" and "Show notification". It works awesome with the shortcut without any noticable lag!
I used another app which is called "Fingerprint Quick Action". With this app you can use the fingerprint sensor for different type of tasks, like long press returning to home screen, or double tap to open an app, these kinds of stuff. You can even swipe on the spacebar to open an app or recents tab. The only problem with this is the led of the fingerprints keeps blinking all the time. Haven't found a solution for this, but still a very useful app!
For browsing I use Google Chrome with the address bar on the bottom. It's great and feels a bit like the old BB10 browser. You can do this by typing:
chrome://flags
Find Google Home and enable it!
I would also advice to lower down the animation scale time in the developer options. I have set mine on 0,5x and the phone is smooth and snappy!
These were my settings, I hope it's useful to anyone!
Hope everyone enjoys there KEYone, I definitely am for sure!
