Hi Guys,
I have a Mini Pro (SK17i) and just trying to find the equivalent of the magnifying glass buttons on other android phones to do a quick search.
But no luck
anyone help please!
thanks in advance
If you press and hold down the menu button and press a letter, it will take you to the search app

On the homescreen and in many applications you can simply start typing on the physical keyboard and the search will start.
Thanks for the help guys. I do miss a search button though if im honest!
thanks again
wrong thread. Delete please.

Hi guys!
I new to this forum section because I'm coming from Nexus S.
I want to ask if is possible that instead of the voice command when we double click to open the search app. or recent tasks.I know that we have the recent tasks by hold the menu button pushed but with the double click is a little quicker.
Maybe it answered but I did not found it yet.

I think he asks if its possible to set double tap home button as task manager. He already knows long pressing works as task manager but he wants the double click do the job

Yes something like yhis. Or the double typing could be the search button. So is this possible or not?

I havent heard
I havent heard of any rom that does this. Usually all roms ive seen and flashed..(and trust me.... ive flashed almost all of them....), have taskmanager set to long press on the home button... ill search around and see what i can find.
Im saying this because when i had Nexus S I could use the search button for the recent tasks.

Does anyone have a tweak or MOD that allows you to hold the menu button and something come up? As Sony Ericsson devices don't have a search button, I would really like to hold the Menu button to search.
Currently, on stock ROM, holding the menu button brings up keyboard(on LWW and others with onscreen keyboard).
Ah, I see you have Mini Pro.
I read about the remapping keys by long press and according to me, it was not possible yet on Xperia's. I am not sure right now, if I see/hear something, I will let you know.
On mini Pro just open the (HW) keyboard on the home screen and start typing. These are the search keys.

it would be better if holding the menu button task manger/task switcher will appear

If you hold the home button, recent apps will appear. Not sure if you already knew that, tough

Of course I know that. Duh it's just that holding the home button to open recent apps is not comfortable, the button is too hard to press. Maybe its just me though

I desperately need to upgrade to ics i'm on geewiz gingerbread now and I hate it. My biggest concern is that when I use ics is that my search button will be useless. Is there any way to avoid this so that I could still use the search softkey to bring up google search? Any help would be great
Huh?
The search key still works. Short press brings up Google search and long press on the search soft key brings up voice actions.

Hi everyone
can anyone please help me find a way to use the camera button of my sony xperia s as a multitasking key
i have upgraded to ICS but i still have to long press the home key to launch recent app list which is very annoying.
Thanks.
Its like gingerbread, long press to show recent apps, as far I know it can't be done yet

Im not experienced in this field but my logic tells me that its only use is for the camera since its a hardwarebutton.
Good idea though.
In case you want the soft buttons that ICS provides there is a thread called on screen buttons mod in the dev section.

Don't you think changing the function of camera key would be a bit weird? Everytime you have to switch between apps, you'll have to reach the cam key. Waste of time, if you ask me. And I don't think it has been done.
You'd better enable the default on screen buttons of ICS.
Just follow this link:

Best wishes, mate

Hello great developers. Is there a way to change the function of the menu button to launch recent apps? Like it is in the newer devices and the on screen buttons. Thanks.
What's wrong with long press Home button?

Nothing, I like it the other way.
It is possible but I cann't guide you as I don't know how.Search around you might stumble upon a guide.
