Hi,
I've changed the behavior of standard hardware buttons from /system/usr/keylayout.kl. But what about the long press behavior, or double tap?! I want to hold Home button for rotate screen, and hold Menu button to anything else than google search.
Someone know's how?
Thanks in advice!
Well... >100 visitors but no response ))
I will just try harder to find a response to my question, like in every post that i wrote here )
Try and app called "homemyhome".
You are the MAN !!!
Thank you VERY VERY much, is a very good application, is for double tap and is very ok. If you find some for Menu button, don't ezitate to tell me...
Thanks again!
I used the app called Advanced Home Button....
Must be rooted...

Need help remapping power key. Someone made awesome app called screen off & lock that does crt shutdown. It would be epic if we could remap power key to launch app.
whoa awesome i just downloaded it. the power button remapping would be awesome, but the long press search button isn't half bad. that's what i'm doing now.

I use voice search all the time. I would think the coding couldn't be to hard but I don't know where to look. It would be awesome if anybody could get this to work.
yeah i'm sure a lot of people use the search button, for some reason i never really need it.
with the camera hack that allows photos to be taken with the power button, and while watching videos, the power button locks the screen while keeping it on, so i know there's gotta be a way to get it to launch this activity. i just don't have any experience with this kind of stuff.
edit -
saw an app called galaxy tuner that apparently remaps buttons, but i am unable to mess with my phone while at work. give it a shot maybe?
Is there any way to modify the Double Home Tap on the AT&T SGS2? I removed the Voice Command, and actually installed the "better" version of Vlingo Voice Assist (since it support Bluetooth much better). Like to link the double tap back to Vlingo Voice Assist.
You can map it to the long press and hold of search.
Yes, I have that mapped to GO SMS Quick Compose
Please stay on topic. Again.. Double Tap on Home

For someone asking for help, you seem to be a little condescending... He was offering you a suggestion to accomplish almost the same thing, since AFAIK, you cannot change the double-home assignment.
Come on guys, it was a specific request to map the double tap home key. Yes the advice was good, and should be appreciated, but it was off topic.
Dear Developers,
I got a quick question:
is it possible to change the function of the menu button to the muti tasking function instead?
if so is it possible to be a APK file format and installation for it to work on a stock phone?
if no, then i guess it has to be rooted? if thats the case, does that mean most applications will lose the menu button? cant be the same as the Nexus phone where all applications has a on screen menu button?
OR just do a swap between the two functions? holding down the home key gives the menu function whereas the menu function gives the muti tasking function.
thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
E
It's possible, but I don't know how the menu button will show up then, and having that ugly HTC-esque navbar with one button is not the way it should be...
sorry, it i just me or anyone else finds the menu button pretty useless.
holding down the home button to bring the multi tasking up is too slow in my opinion.
would be great if someone can just switch the two functions of menu and multi.
:laugh:
thanks tho

I dont find is useless.
What i find useless is you can get the same menu just by pressing on your homescreens or longpress there, so 3 ways to get that menu up.
On the matter on what button brings up the task manager, i really dont care. After a few days i got used to it being behind the home button.
How do I access it? I read you hit the home button twice but that doesn't work for me.

Should be in your apps drawer. Once you access it, hit settings if you want and you can make it activate from the home button presses.
Long press the menu key to activate Google Now though - better than S-Voice in my opinion
Not sure why I didn't see it before, thank you.

Did you explored settings?
Usually custom ROMs allows users to change behavior of every buttons.
