I'm not sure if this should go in Q&A forum or development, but here's a question
I saw this same question was unanswered for Nexus. I assume there's no way yet to remove the menu button (...) and make the Recent App physical button do that?
Thank you!

I've found many threads to remap buttons on devices, but I couldn't find any way to remap holding what the home button does.
I would like to change the search button to switching apps, instead of holding the home button. I've heard of APP_SWITCH, but that only shows recent apps (like gingerbread). I'm on a ICS rom and would like that functionality on the search button.
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for something like this for days now.
i now where i can change the function the search button is doing, but i have no idea to what i have to change that..
For someone with knowledge it shouldnt be hard to find out what a long home press is doing (script wise) and then we could just change the function of the search button..
I hope somebody with know how reads this, because its a great idea for, example the nexus s
Hi all - first post here. I just bought a Nook Tablet and love it, with some reservations. I've figured out how to sideload with some success. But here's my issue: having only the "n" button is annoying. The right-left swipe plus Go Launcher help, but some apps demand a search key that I can't find. Is there a good way to do this with soft keys?
In another thread I saw a suggestion for Button Savior, but I haven't rooted yet. Are there non-root options? If not, would you recommend Button Savior? Having access to the normal keys would be a good reason for me to root.
Nova launcher has a feature that lets you remap the long-press of the menu button to do among a number of things, one of which is bringing up the multi-task menu. Anyone know how to make this happen without using this launcher. I've tried editing the file in key_layout but it didn't do anything.
Same type of issue here. (first time post / newb by the way). I'm looking to use a long press of the Back key to act as an alternate home key (but would accept long press of menu key as well). I've tried Nova Launcher, and it can be configured for a long-press of the menu key to go to the "default" screen, which is kind of like having a home key, but it doesn't work unless you are on the 1st level screens (for example it doesn't work if you are using an application, this it is not truly a home key). I've never rooted before and am worried about trying it on my brand new S3 and what it means to warranty. Thus was hoping to find a way to get what I want without rooting, but something tells me I won't be able to. Also, I really didn't want to change to a special launcher like Nova yet, I just want a capacitive home key option. I don't like physical click keys plus my home key is harder to reach now with the case that I have. Not sure what to do next. Willing to consider rooting if it the process can be made fairly idiot proof. BTW I'm on Sprint which is not the exact phone as yours.

Rooting is fairly idiot proof on the International SGS3 but you may well have major problems if you are in the wrong forum and flash the wrong firmware for a different model phone like the USA models .

Thanks, appreciate that. I figured as much, but thought the ideas would be similar
Actually what I think would be a more ideal button arrangement for me would be as follows (since my goal is to have a capacitive home key)
1) short-press Menu button would function exactly the same as the physical Home button
2) long-press Menu button would function as the Menu
3) short-press Back would function as Back
4) long-press Back button would bring up a Search screen (kind of like long-press Menu does presently)
I for one am glad that Samsung kept some buttons (like the menu button), instead of going to the true 100% ICS experience.
Maybe I'll switch completely over to the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum in order to avoid any confusion.
cm10 has implemented the button remap feature. now you can easily change the menu button long press to recent apps in cm10

Is there a way to remap the soft keys on the XPERIA S. I would like the menu key to open recent apps while holding will open menu. The holding of home key should also be for voice search to prepare for google now!
Thanks!

Questions don't belong in development, and your question doesn't make sense, in title you say hardware keys, and in post you say software keys..
Milad are u thinking about devolp a rom or porting for Xperia S, as u already done with x10?

We'll take this over pm, Nominate thread for being moved or locked
Remember that all questions belong in the Q/A forum, the Development forum is only for posting works of development. Thread moved.
How would one map the S-Pens click button to, say, when in airmode, clicking the button would respond as "return" or even go to your home screen. I know we all love the S-Pen, but not being able to hit the capacitive "return" button with the pen is annoying. It must be written within code because In SNote, clicking that button toggles back and forth between pencil/eraser.
This would make me happy, very happy... Yes...
Anyone? Thoughts?
