Im sorry if this post is not supposed to be here. I'm still kinda new to the forum. I asked e question in the Q&A section but I didn't get any good answers.
Is there a way I could disable the search button permanently? Not the long press function only, I'm having more issue with its short press search function. I keep hitting it on accident when I'm typing with my right thumb. Let me know. Thanks in advance.

Should have kept it in Q&A. This place is cluttered enough. That being said, I'd like to know too. I hate that button. Matter of fact, I think I hate capacitive hardware buttons in general.
Once we have perm root you can use a button remapper. Reason full root needed is upon changing the buttons function it reboots, thus with temp root it will reset itself...
question answered, thread moved and closed.

I'm new to Android with my myTouch, but I'm no stranger to mobile "hacking" being that I own a Tytn, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, and HD2. Is there an app or registry edit that'll give me a reset button of any sort? Preferably on in the "Phone Options" menu on a power key long press.
Thanx

Nothing that I know of but there's an app called "Quick Boot" that will present you with an option to reboot but only within itself, not on the long press.
All the other Android phones I've had you could hit Alt + Shift + backspace for an instant reboot, but for some reason doesn't work on the Slide. Not sure if there's a quick key combo for a reboot.
If you're rooted, maybe using Better Cut to create a shortcut for a terminal command to reboot? I could never figure out how to use Better Cut to do that though.

If you are rooted, just use better terminal emulator andtype the comand "reboot" or "reboot recovery"
good to know, thanks!

Ah thank you! I knew it had to exist. I just don't like reading instructions.
Woot!

+1! Thank you ive tried every combo i could think of but i didnt think of using the mouse button in any of them! thanks!!
@OP, this thread should be renamed to something like "Hardware key combo to reboot Slide" so others can find it easier...
i foresee alot of new threads asking the same question that's already been answered here....lol

is there a way to reassign the home button doubleclick? i don't want to use vlingo voice talk and would rather have another application assigned to the double click...
Please read other threads before posting this question has been answered before, and no, you can't change the double click home function

Yeah...sorry about that, it's just a bit annoying when people quite clearly haven't bothered to search and just start a new duplicate thread. I've personally answered this question once before haha so I know the thread's out there somewhere . But I am sorry for being a bit sharp tongued earlier, no hard feeling

well, i did search, but probably with the wrong keywords - i still fail to find that, and from the looks of other duplicate posts done after mine, i'm not the only one ;-)
anyway, let's hope for a custom rom then. thanks.
I did knock together a quick app to redirect the double home press to act as a search button long press, however, it seems to have broken with a change in KE7. I am looking at whether it can be fixed, but for now it should work on KE2.
I haven't made enough posts here to post links, but I have linked to it on the MoDaCo forums.
Hey all,
Just recently installed this mod...even after I changed the menu button setting, I cannot access the menu window in the Google Play app. I saw somewhere in the Cleanrom thread that there's a fix but I can't find it. Someone help please?
Thanks!

This needs to be in the either the Q&A forums, or better yet, the thread for your rom. Probably not going to get a lot of help on this in the General forums.
Go to settings>Display,gestures>Home buton and make sure swipe up for google now, press and hold for menu is checked
Moved to proper section, please read and respect the rules before posting.
Thanks,
When I long press the home button a semi circle comes up and Google is at the top, no other icons. Can I add different apps to this? I think I've been through every menu, I just got the phone yesterday and I am still working on it.
Thanks!

Short answer: not without modifying the firmware. There might be a custom firmware (or "xposed" module) that has this as a feature. (However, I'm not personally aware of anything on the HTC One M8 that does it.)
For future reference, single questions with shorter answers should be posted in the device's Q&A section, not the general section. (If it's an open question involving a lot of conversation, it might be okay in 'general.')
Take care

Good morning.
I am looking for a very simple, single purpose "app" that doesn't seem to exist
I want an app that simply returns to the home screen.
Reason:
I want to use my Bixby key on Galaxy S10 as "Home Button" (BUT):
I do not want to use button re-mappers as this is redundant and irritating.
(So that any phone's gesture or key settings that will load an "app" (but not an activity) can go to home screen without other monitoring or remapping software running).
The stock software already allows the remap of the Bixby button to a different "application" (Not activity), So I am in search of a small app that does just that - simply calls / loads / launches the home screen and closes. Period. I've read many people want the key as "back button" and a small app that does only "back" would be cool too. I wish I had time to SDK and tinker like I used to do with Windows :
Anyone know of such a thing, or willing to throw a paragraph of code into an APK for fun ? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks everyone...
