Hey there,
just wondering why nobody had this idea, already:
Could someone create a MOD for our RAZR to get a real Camera-Button?
I thought about the "ButtonRemapper" APP combined with an "running-app-recognizer".
So when I start the camera app, the Power-Button will be remapped as a Camera-Button. And when the Camera-App is closed, the Power-Button should be remapped to defaults...
Someone could do this?
Sorry I'm not a developer / modder...
Great idea, very useful!

Now that sounds awesome! I do miss have a camera button.

The search button would make a comfortable one. Or the volume rokrs. Like on cyanogen and other custom roms.

Is there any way to possibly map the power key to act as an autofocus and capture button when in the camera app without an app cknstantlynrunning in the background?

Would love this, but probably only with app...

I'm sure once ICS comes out and the BL gets unlocked and the ROMs start flowing that will be a possibility cause I also would love that feature. Love that on my Desire Z, such a great feature having that extra button.
Is there a way to disable them. I always accidentally hit them when I'm using the S note app

You mean the capacitive buttons? I don't think there is an easy way to do it, you'd pretty much have to rewrite the framework. Maybe someone good in the kitchen has already done this and can help you. Good luck.

Some apps like lecturenotes allow you to disable the button while writing.

There is a thread in here about this.. and you should read the discussion about it... perhaps search with key word 'disable Capacitive buttons'?
Edit: this isn't the thread/discussion I was referring to but I just came by this piece of information, check it out....

PLEASE BE SURE TO LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT
because I want to disable those buttons myself but haven't had chance to root my Note and install custom ICS yet. Good luck!
Getting into the framework is the only place I have seen this
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:

Is someone developing this? I know that Andy Thompson developed it for MIUI based on GB. It's will be very nice if someone make this.

Hi, I am kinda new to jellybean. as the title suggests, Is there a way to change the search button key in jellybean? I am really use to previous versions of android, so jellybean's approach to the searchkey opening google now is really uncomfortable.
nvm, sorry to waste your time guy. I found an app that changes the functions of the hardware keys. With that app, I was able to change the search key to the same function it had with ics. Thanks for the help xda
What app is it?
yes I am looking for an app that does this as well.. its kinda annoying going to google now
Kind of a blind stab in the dark but i found this app that looks like it fits the bill :::

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that app just adds softkeys on screen. was mainly used for the nook color since it had no buttons
I found this on the market, but it hasn't been updated since Feb '11

I just used button remapper here on xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464) and it works wonderfully.
It's powered by ANDROID 4.1..1 JellyBean AOKP running Devil Kernel 1.6.0
The button remapper mentioned above didn't work on my fascinate, but this did this trick for me:
