Hello,
I'm running Task's ROM and I would like to know if there is a way to create a shortcut to the menu that comes up instead of pressing the power button?
Not sure if Button Saviors "Power Button" brings up the menu, but you can give it a try.
Didn't work. The app appears to not work on the tablet.
Try using a replacement Launcher like ADW EX Launcher. I believe you can create short cuts for actions such as the power menu. If you need help with ADW Launcher there is a detailed thread in the apps and Themes section.
I dont see how to create a shortcut to the menu using ADW EX Launcher.
I use "Screen off fx"

Hello Good People,
Can someone please help with how I could remap the Button Panel?
I want to remove the "Search and replace it with an app shortcut that can be assessable at all times like the other three buttons.
T.I.A.
Forget that.
The std Archos button panel is fixed in function.
If you want to do something else, root the device(Chulri r+w or urukdroid) , move the buttons to the top and install a launcher that has this as a function.
fzelle you got my back every step of the way!
I am already rooted and using GO Launcher as my default launcher. Looks like I need to test drive another launcher for this need.
Thanks
The "recent apps" button is a great addition to the UI, but I'd also like to have a dedicated button on the button bar for opening the app drawer.
To those of you more versed in UI-fu than I am: what would be the best way for me to add an app-drawer button to the button bar, eg. right next to the "recent apps" button, so as to facilitate direct access to the app drawer from any app?
Thanks
Use Nova Launcher and map the home button alternate mode to open the app drawer. So in effect, one press on home will send you to your home screen and the second press will put you in your app drawer.

This. Other than that, its not possible unless the rom itself is edited to do it, which again, isn't possible, because different homescreens have different app drawers.

You wouldn't happen to know of any SystemUI mods that fit the bill I suppose...
Hi!
I don't like the feel of the Home button. Is there any option or app to add another option with the home button properties?
Thank you!

I would say use a different launcher that will let you assign to different buttons.
I don't use the home button that much because I back out of 99% of apps (old habit from G1 days) and since I use Nova Launcher, I assigned S-Voice to the menu long-press. The only time I use the home button is coming out of the browser and the odd time when I truly multi-task (usually copy/paste from one app to another).

Taskbar task switcher. Can add a line to Taskbar dropdown for "Return to desktop"
Yeah, this home button is ridiculously annoying.
Hey everyone,
Does anyone know if its possible to change the the app shortcut that the soft touch search button launches? I would like it to to launch S-Voice or the google now mod that will be in the new Adrenaline ROM instead of the google search app.

Did you try long pressing it to set the default app to use for search. I have Vlingo Labs Beta installed and I long pressed the search button and was able to select it for the default action. It should see S-Voice if you have it installed.
And Ashton quit being a tool.
Yup, the Android system prompt should come up when a new app is installed that can utilize that button. Several custom ROMs have tweak settings that can configure the softkeys, though they usually map them to particular system menus and functions rather than apps.
I've been using the HomeSmack app lately to switch both the Search button function and my launcher on the fly. I suggest checking that out:
