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

Just installed QX Senseless on my dinc 4g and I'm a bit confused as to what to do now that the menu button is removed.. It never pops up on apps so I can never access menus. Is there a settings option for this or what?

Thank you for the quick reply but my multitask button is still a multitask button. Is there a setting to switch it to the menu button? cause i cant find one
Install the 3remapbasic from con247 which is in the dev forum. You will not have a recent apps button but it will remap that button to be menu.
Yeah the recent apps mod was not included. I believe he wanted to get permission to use it first.
Is there a way with android that I can switch the behavior of my menu button on my home screen? right now when I short press it the menu will come up, when I long press it will go to search. It'd like it to go to search when I short press, is this possible?

I dont think so.
But its possible the other way around.
But then again, why would you want to replace the menu button function?
Its like the home button on an iOS Device

You can Edit system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl to change the key behaviour.

Hey, is there any rom/mod allowing remapping of GSIII button keys?
I'd love to get Recent Apps open by using the left Menu Button instead of double clickin' on the Home Button (a sort of Nexus style, whose Recent App button was the soft key on the right). To be honest, I'd like to swap them (double click Home Button for menu, tap left button for Recent Apps).
Thanks!
I remember cm10 has this feature.

I'd like the power buttonto be a shutter button when in camera mode

Any easy way to change functions of things like home/menu buttons, if for example I want to quickly pull up task manager without having to long press home. I find that to be tedious.

Here is an app that can launch apps by pressing home button twice.

Meh, I'd rather a single press for task manager, or better yet.. menu key and then hold for menu. I don't need hold menu for search.
Nova launcher lets you do what you please with menu and home buttons, for long and short press
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for that recommendation, I'm using that nova as my default launcher. But it still doesn't really do what I'm looking for. It only works while on desktop and doesn't have a tap menu feature. I need something global. Hope I'm not being too picky lol

If you're rooted, you can edit the function of the home button pretty easily.

If you use that tutorial above, you'll see the properties of the keys. I enabled the on screen keys, disabled the capacitive keys, and remapped the home button to launch the camera instead of being a home button.
hi, is there any mod that can make by holding hoke button to open recent apps?
i changed the desire x recent apps button to press for menu, press and hold for recent apps in settings cause i like it this way.
and i hate it how i have to hold the recent apps button to open recent apps. i think it is more convenient if hold home button to recent apps instead of holding recent apps button to open recent apps.
or make it like the htc one. double tap home button to recent apps.
is there any solutions?

Why not try the reverse of what you have press for recent apps and press & hold for menu I find it really convenient to do this you just
Goto settings>display and buttons>recent apps button and switch it up there...
One tap for recent apps which is obvious for the button press and hold for menu works flawlessly....
P. S. I know your not a noob in this unlike me

I too installed the app. There's no option for holding. Holding menu key on my Note 2 would bring up search. I want to remap it to Recents.
