Application called "Button Remapper" works well on CyanogenMod on Xperia X8!
For example: use it to remap volume buttons and use them as "Call" and "End Call" button.
Now i can simply click once "volume up" button to launch call register and tap this button again to redial. I can also end call with button without using touchscreen. I think that provides better user experience.
[There are many apps to control volume in the AndroidMarket]
You can find this app here:

I have a rooted Samsung Vibrant, running Eugene's R2 Ginger Clone. My search button keeps causing search to randomly pop up no matter what I'm doing on my phone. It's becoming very annoying please help.

Can you clarify? Are you pressing the search button and the search is popping up? Or is search randomly showing up without you touching anything?
If it is randomly turning on, then the button is not your problem.
I know there is a mod to change which buttons do what. I saw a guy who changed his so that the search capacitive button actually opened his camera, so he'd have a dedicated camera. If you are interested in changing or disabling that button, I can try to hunt down the thread for you.
Id like the that mod for sure

Not a bad idea....try "button remapper" from the market....it allows you to toggle the function of the hardware buttons...which leads me to believe you can probably deactivate them
report back if you try (it says theres only partial support for Galaxy S variants)

Here you go. It is using Button Remapper like the guy right below you said.

When you press it for use choose default action then the camera icon

just tried button remapper on my vibrant running nero v5 w/voodoo. worked fine to re-assign the search button as camera. didn't see anything to completely disable it.
button shortcut didn't either.
fyi
Could you remap it so it does the same thing as the "BACK" button ? Or one could make an app that does nothing. An empty main() method.
I just installed the new custom kernel 3.51 from 3.50 and after reboot the home key is not working and i know its not hardware related cuz when i reboot into xrecovery i still able to use it , what can i do to fix the problem?

Thanks, i don't see any option for home key in cm besides the custom long press option and even that didn't work i guess i just have to do a fresh install again.
I'm also having this problem.
download launcher pro, that will give you the option to change the home key default action

Hi everyone!
I was wondering whether there was any way to get the option to use the volume buttons on the x8 to skip songs while the phone is screen is locked/off? I know about the lockscreen touch controls that are built in but it's a lot better with volume buttons.
Is it only a CM7 feature? Is there perhaps an app that can do it? I'm using froyobread v21...
Any help much appreciated! Thanks

try to press and hold volume button while the screen is off..
It's a feature included in FroyoBread since "I don't remember when", hold the volume button for maybe 1' when lockscreen is on... I've just done it : it works.
Is it possible to change the way the home button acts? I dislike the way when you hit the home button it puts the current app into a background process. Could we change it so like an iPhone the home button fully closes an app when pressed?

On my old gt540 i found an app that did this. Unfourtunately ive forgotten the name. Try searching the market.

Excuse me, but I believe the iPhone puts the process to background too.
Right now im using the cynogenmod 7 KANG's version, when you go to the USB settings there is a option to fully close an app by holding the back button. You can also customize the home/menu button using that rom.

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.
