What is Recent Plus!?
It is a small app that replaces the "recent apps" dialog that appears when you long-press the home button. It shows the recently opened apps as before but additionally shows a volume slider. See screenshots. Requires CM7.
Why?
As you all know, the nook color is a wonderful device but it is lacking hardware buttons. A typical and really nice remedy is to install keysmod / Hard-key editor and bind the volume buttons to back and menu. Problem: you can no longer easily change the current volume while in an app, especially when it is running in fullscreen.
It started with this post and I am now moving it here.
Requirements:
* a device running a recent nightly of cyanogenmod 7
Installation:
(0. install the keysmod so you have back/menu instead of the volume buttons)
1. go to "Settings", "Cyanogenmod Settings", "Input", "long-press home settings": check "Use custom application" and then choose "Select custom application", tap "Applications" (yes, another tap here in that list! This is the first entry), finally select "Recent Plus!"
2. done. Now you can long press home to switch apps and change the volume

Works great on 2 Nook Colors with CM7.1 I have this installed on 2 Nook Colors with CM7.1. I mainly use it to quickly change brightness settings.

Perfect for CM7 on Kindle Fire Kinde fire has no volume buttons, CM7 has no volume controls. This will hold me over until ICS gets it's kinks worked out. Great work, exactly what I (we) needed.

Flexibility! I use it primarily to always have a brightness slider handy, but love the general flexibility it brings.

Thankyou On the nook I have been searching and searching for a good app that controls my volume. So I can remap the physical buttons to more useful keys. Thx

does what it says it will - great app I much prefer soft buttons, always feel that I will wear out mechanical ones. This app is great for the nook color, lets me adjust volume instantly. Great job!
