(Patch Request) Touchpad Edit/Delete Delay time to enter mode

RyanCell · 07/28/2011, 08:19 PM

My daughters only 2 1/2 years old and accidentally holds the screen & rearranges apps/almost deletes them too easily, perhaps a long hold the screen time or alternate patch idea would be nice.

like "prevent delete" or "undo"

yea, a few ideas are
-upon holding a prompt saying enter edit/delete mode yes/no
-require a 2 finger hold to enter rather than 1
-disable hold to enter mode and make a specific icon to enable edit mode

Anyone able to do this? I'd even like a delay to make enable edit mode to be 5 seconds or something to prevent my daughter holding the screen and possibly deleting apps, then I dont know she deleted them. Thanks!

Any chance of this still? My daughters too often went into edit mode and I dont want her deleting things on accident...Any other solutions?

Last bump...surely an easy patch to make edit mode double the time to hold to enter edit mode?
