I would imagine it requires an app that needs superuser access, but I haven't been able to find one. The
short press of the
Search button is useless since your can achieve the same thing by holding down the menu key.
any suggestions?

Holding down the menu key you get the keyboard. Its quite useful in emulators too.

i actually looked into it, and figured it out myself. made a flashable zip too for those who want it. my search key is now my dedicated camera button. but i lost the ability to long press search for voice search....meh i never used it that much anyway
How did you go about it? Im trying to restore the default behavior of the search button. TIA
There is an app called Button Remapper in the market. If you can't find it, let me know and ill upload it for you. It is free and requires root though.
Thanks woodrube... I searched the market and no luck. I am rooted. I installed google search and re installed it via the market. When I hit my search button from the home screen, google no longer opens. Even though I re installed it.
Why I uninstalled it was a rash act of stupidity lol
Otherwise the button works when in an app. I was hoping to restore the default behavior.
Do you have voice search? May have to download it first
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
I do have voice search and press + hold brings it up. Im thinking about just re-flashing my rom.
Don't need to flash your ROM.
Now that I know it isn't in the market, ill upload it tonight when I get on my PC. It has default settings as well as customized ones too for both short and long presses.
Edit: Here is the ButtonRemapper.apk Should be just what you need to remap the search button back to default.
Woodrube your a life saver! Huge thanks for uploading the file I was just backing up my data and I don't have to flash. Thanks again!

I've had Molten 2.1 since the day ryman released it, and it's running great but, just realized that when I hold down the search button ScreenGrabber is activated rather than Voice Search.
I flashed it over stock GB 2.3.4.
I checked ScreenGrabber for any options to disable this but there are none.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
And thanks to ryman for the awesome ROM. It runs great.

Just making sure but, are you sure your not pressing screen grabber because sometimes that app drawer can be a little crazy. It works flawless for me so idk.

I think he is referring to the actual hardware button
I think the solution would be to just tap the button, not hold.

Yeah. When you hold down search button on the phone (actual hard button) it opens up screen grabber. I like it though.

For me, the short-push brings up web search, not the voice app. I like the screen grabber but would rather have the voice-command app back on the long-push. That's the one I'd want more readily available, anyway...

Are you wanting to voice search the net? If so there is a voice button on that search bar when you short press.

Have you tried going to settings, applications, and browse the all tab for screengrabber. select it and pick clear defaults. See if that helps, I have yet to try Molten, don't know if this will help/work. Good Luck

It's one of the best features of our DX2 IMHO. I love how we can txt, emailnavigatete, google search and all that. I love teasing my son about his apple crap and how they're now finally catching up to us after a couple years.

Sorry for the late reply.
In stock and previous versions of Molten, when I press and hold the Search hard button, it would open Voice Commands. As someone mentioned, it's great for driving and being lazy. Currently, it opens up screengrabber.
You cannot clear the defaults on screengrabber. I backed it up and uninstalled it with TB. That is a crappy work around but it does work. Although, it doesn't work with a Bluetooth hands free device. Pressing the search key used to open voice commands, now it simply calls back your most recent call.
I haven't had time to flash M2.2 but I will. Thanks again for the help!
I want to disable the search button but I don't know how. I have searched for a while and can't find any info. Anyone have any idea. I always hit that stupid thing when I'm texting while laying down and it's annoying. Gotta disable that thing or at least disable it while I'm texting. That would actually be the better route so I can still use the feature because I do actually use it. I just hate how I always hit it and I have to keep closing out of it. Will donate if someone could help me with this.
Thanks.
Hmmmm....I don't know if this device has located the file were we could modify the function of each button yet. I definitely want to know if that could be done without utilizing an app.
Look in /system/usr/keylayout, now there are two files shooter-keypad.kl and qwerty.kl look for key 217 and remove delete the text "search" from both of them, and add CAMERA just like that and you could have camera instead of search, but if you don't want that just leave it blank, let me know if it works for sure, its been awhile and my 3d isn't rooted yet.

Hi guys, I need a little help here.
On ICS I used to skip songs on Poweramp using the headset button, but since I upgraded to Jellybean, the long press goes to Voice Search on Google Now? Is there a way to disable that? I already configured on Poweramp to use the long press, gave it high priority, but google voice continues taking place and there's no options there to disable it.
Any idea?

Anyone know how to just adjust the button time for it? On my Xperia Z it is too sensitive and trying to pause/unpause music usually ends up launching it. I'll see if I can figure how to just disable the google now...

If you install a headset button conytol app and set the sensitivity of the buttons to your personal need it works pretty good.
This app does not only control the buttons but also the app itself, like Poweramp,, but also online players like Spotify an Rdio. Free, no ads.

That/those smarties in google dev team who come up with this idea should be punished @%!^#[email protected]$^@$^$&U
I've made the app which brings back long-press functionality for the button. Headset Remapper remaps “HEADSETHOOK WAKE” key with the “MEDIA_NEXT WAKE”. In other words when you press the play/pause/accept/decline button (the one in the middle or the only one in your remote) it will be “seen” by the Android OS as the SKIP button (next song).
Having this done you can use your button again with its full functionality (I checked that it works with this app: Headset Button Controller). Remember that you need to configure the SKIP (MEDIA_NEXT) button not the the play/pause/accept/decline !
This app needs ROOT to run!

I tried the app and it didn't work for me on a US Cellular Galaxy S3. I'm not sure why. I started it, granted it root, and it said it was successful when I made the change. I rebooted, and then tested it out and holding the button still launched Google Now. I then restored the original file with the app. Then I followed these manual instructions in this thread and rebooted. I need to point out that I do not have a sec_jack.kl file, so I only edited Generic.kl. After doing the edit by hand and rebooting, long press now works the way I want and doesn't launch Google Now. :victory: I use Headset Button Controller for assigning the functions.

So im digging JB on almost every level. With the exception of one.
Is there a way to make a long press of my search button on my phone do voice search instead of just google now coming up? Not sure why google determined that a regular press and long press should do the same thing.
Voice search got replaced with Google now.

just say 'Google' on the google now. It will start the voice search. The long press is intended to be used to start google now when you're in an application (kinda like global shortcut).
Right, but is there a way to make the long press go directly to voice search?

There used to be a Tasker solution for this, but it seems JB has broken the Tasker Search Helper, as well.
Try using Tasker in conjunction with 'Assistant Event for Tasker' (free). I have it working on my phone.
