[Q] Changing "hardware" buttons function / rebind - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched and haven't found an answer to this yet.
I hate the "Search" hardware button in the lower right of the Vibrant. I never use it, and I keep bumping it when I grab the phone, bringing up an annoying screen I have to close.
Is there a way to disable it, or at least rebind it to something useful (like Vlingo) ?
I'm running the stock OS from t-mobile, rooted.
Thanks in advance,
~A

Nobody knows how to do this??

I wouldn't mind making it my camera

[Q] Better answer phone button. Or the iPhone complex.

Hy,
Previoulsly I was using a flased HTC Polaris. There was one great thing with this phone : buttons. Espacially incoming call answer button.
I love my X10, but I do have problem answering incoming phonecall. The slide button is very difficult to use with both hands, and impossible if you use your phone with one hand only (It could be a good thing for not answering while driving though).
I expected that flashing with a custom rom would solve this issue, as I was sure that everyone would agree with this point of view, but so far, I haven't tested a ROM that provide an incoming call button that isn't a slide button.
I believe that this slide thing (even for unlocking I don't like it) is some sort of iPhone like complex. Well to my point of view, an Android phone isn't an iPhone, and shouldn't try to look like an iPhone (espacially when it comes to details that are not so great about the iPhone)
Now to my question : is there a way to change the style of the answer button from this stupid and unpracticle slide button to a more simple touch button ?
There is a handfull of apps to do that... i listed some of them here, but i guess you can find even more of them:

I guess some of them even allow you to use camera button to answer the phone.
The "iPhone Complex" is SO true...
Well said.
(I am using MIUI, but that's all about absorbing the good aspects of the iPhone and combining them with the Android power)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Great. Thanks a LOT.
I thought this kind of things would be changed only with a mod ROM.
Nope.. it's a case of "There's an app for that" !!!!!!

ON-SCREEn Buttons Mod (Like on the Galaxy Nexus)?

Hey Guys,
well the topic already explains my concern. I would like to know if there is a way to activate on-screen buttons on my S3 like its standard on the GNex and deactive! the touch buttons, but not the Homebutton .
I find it not convenient to use the touch buttons because they are pretty far down in my opinion, Im always scared to drop the phone if I dont use two hands, while trying to touch it and sometimes if I push stuff whats on the bottom of the screen, I accidently push the touch buttons, this is pretty anoying too.
So, is there maybe someone working on sth. like that or is it even possible to change this without flashing a custom rom?
Thanks n greets
Rob
No one an idea?
I would also like it if someone can do this.
It's definitely possible: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696092

[Q][HELP] Softkeys Backlight after Porting and Navigation keys

Helo. There was a thread with this question back from 2012, nobody really answered that either. I hope I can actually get some answers. Even some clues might be helpful, I don't want to be spoon fed, its just I never encountered this.
I have successfully ported a rom to my device, it has a Navigation bar, even though my rom has physical navigation keys, now the weird thing is, the the buttons do actually work, but the back-light isnt. I have even set the button light arrays in framework-res (though there were none even in my stock rom), still nothing. I am really going nuts here on what causes this.
Also the device light drivers are present, and notification/charging leds are working correctly, even auto backlight is working correctly.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very thankful.
So I guess there is no solution to this?

[App Search] Theater Tech communication app, or similar?

Hello!
My issue and need for the app:
I am working the lights at the theater in my school.
In the light booth, it can be difficult to keep up with the script because the booth makes sounds quieter.
If I lose track of the script at the wrong time, I could miss crucial cues for lighting.
I need an app that allows my stage manager to click a button on her phone, and I get a pop up on my screen; or perhaps the button she clicks will light up on my screen; just something of that nature that would allow her to give me instant directions, which means these "cue notifications" would need to have a name or label. It would essentially make her my ears on stage. We would probably also use it to let me know when were going live soon, etc.
IOS availability would be super convenient, as my stage manager has an iPhone.
I've searched for something like this, I just don't know what something like this would be called.
We have a show tonight, and this would be a life saver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Changing the Long Press Duration of Hardware Keys

Hi guys,
I just flashed android 10 on my oneplus 3 via Havoc v3.4.
I was wondering, whether somebody were able to help me with a kind of special problem.
So I'm using my home button to put the phone to sleep by long pressing it. This can be set in the phone settings. so far so good.
But now on android 10 the duration of said long press seems to be unnecessarily long, like over a second. Thats really annoying, when you just want to put your phone away and have to keep your finger on that capacity button for that extra amount of time.
So I was wondering, whether there might be a relatively simple way of tweaking the build.prop or something, to change the duration of said time_out ?
I already tried the hold/delay in the google settings, but that's just for touch inputs on the screen.
Also the forum search didn't pop up any usefull results.
Thanks so far!
