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.

I have a rooted Samsung Vibrant, running Eugene's R2 Ginger Clone. My search button keeps causing search to randomly pop up no matter what I'm doing on my phone. It's becoming very annoying please help.

Can you clarify? Are you pressing the search button and the search is popping up? Or is search randomly showing up without you touching anything?
If it is randomly turning on, then the button is not your problem.
I know there is a mod to change which buttons do what. I saw a guy who changed his so that the search capacitive button actually opened his camera, so he'd have a dedicated camera. If you are interested in changing or disabling that button, I can try to hunt down the thread for you.
Id like the that mod for sure

Not a bad idea....try "button remapper" from the market....it allows you to toggle the function of the hardware buttons...which leads me to believe you can probably deactivate them
report back if you try (it says theres only partial support for Galaxy S variants)

Here you go. It is using Button Remapper like the guy right below you said.

When you press it for use choose default action then the camera icon

just tried button remapper on my vibrant running nero v5 w/voodoo. worked fine to re-assign the search button as camera. didn't see anything to completely disable it.
button shortcut didn't either.
fyi
Could you remap it so it does the same thing as the "BACK" button ? Or one could make an app that does nothing. An empty main() method.
Is there any way to change or remap the useless "Search" soft key on the ATRIX?? Maybe someone could make a script that one could follow or maybe an app.... I did a search but nothing turned up for the ATRIX..
Thanks in advance!!!
eyo OP,
All I'm aware of is that certain apps can be swapped out for the Search key LONG press.
For example, I've remapped it to take me to Quick Settings so I can toggle GPS, wifi, autorotate etc from within an app without having to exit it. Another app it mentioned being able to map the Long press to was Miren browser (i've since switched to Boat mini. smaller footprint is all, nothing really wrong with miren's functionality)
As for completely remapping it? search function and all? I'm not so sure, and (sadly) I certainly don't have the dev skills to fiddle with any policy/build.jars
Sorry I couldn't help more.
All that I get for my search key long press is vlingo or voice search....

Probably because those are the only two apps the system detects as viable. An app I saw mentioned was "Launchkey"...looks like the author for the linked thread is developing both. Seems to be what you're looking for. Just make sure the Atrix is liberated enough to meet the req's for those apps. Looks like it needs a lot of permission type deals.
Good luck.
Excellent!!!! When I get to a computer i'll hit up the thanks button in your favor
BTW- im running the new AT&T ATRIX software 4.5.91 with an unlocked bootloader... works fantastic...

How do SGS2 users deal with a long hold of the search button? Not possible?
I ask because a lot of people now use long hold search for Google Voice Search as Siri and other voice command software becomes more popular.
This is not asking how to activate search (which I understand is a long hold of the menu button).

AFAIK the stock firmware won't let you do it, you'll need to install MIUI or Cyanogenmod.

is there some additional software that needs to be installed? I would most likely flash CM7...
bump, does double tap work out of the box??? or is it a ROM feature?

It's a stock feature, custom roms usually integrate jkays app to give the user the choice of enabling/disabling this feature.
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.
Sorry could you be more clear? i didn't understand what's your problem

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
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.

Is there any way to do nothing when I press the search key for long? Usually I used an app named 'DispRotation Switcher' while in ICS- this acts as a toggle for display rotation, it could be launched by long pressing search key until I was inICS, but it does not launch in stock JB 4.1.2 . Instead of that, google now opens!
