Here you can see what has happend to the menu button.
There where you need it, it is a little button on the right corner or on playstore right left corner.
But the optiones are not away, in ICS you've got more options!
You still need that menu button for legacy apps, otherwise you couldn't access the menu.
Long-pressing home button still acts as a multitask button.

I'd prefer the option to use the menu button as a multitasking button, get the settings icon in proper ics apps, and long press for menu in legacy apps. Is that option available?

I just got jb but when I long press the home button it brings up task manager. I read somewhere it should open google now.
Any solution??
Long press opens task manager and on the bottom there are three buttons: first one opens task manager, second(with the G icon) is the google now, and the third is kill all active apps.

Or just map one of the custom launchers gestures for swype up to launch Google search/now, or app drawer button gesture up, kinda mimicking aosp way of launching it.

Well that only works if you doesn't have an app opened =)
since ICS htc made phones with 3 keys back home and tasks while samsung and LG made back home and menu and long press on the home key take you to tasks...
so my question is that some old application that does not have the 3 dots at top that replacing the menu key let you access setting and more only by ptessing the menu key so....
my question is how does it work?
thank you for your answer
To get rid of the black settings bar, there's an option in settings. After that's changed, you have the option of short pressing the recent apps key for settings and long press for multitask/recent apps or vice versa.

I request a mod for ICS to replace MENU Button with Multitask Button, but the still:
when long pressing the HOME Button, to do nothing
when long pressing Multitask (MENU) Button to show menu for non optimized ICS+ apps.
Or does someone know how to map something on long press???

Hi, I found some old threads about changing keylayout and stuff, but nothing recent (you know: since JB) and I just got the phone yesterday.
Right now, the phone does this:
Menu button press: menu
Menu button hold: Google Now (search)
Home button press: Home
Home button double-press: SVoice
Home button hold: Recent Apps
Back button press: Back
And I would like it to do this:
Menu button press: Recent Apps
Menu button hold: menu
Home button press: Home
Home button double-press: nothing
Home button hold: Google Now (search)
Back button press: Back
I'm kinda surprised that I can't find an app for this, as it really just seems like I'd be changing a little bit of text inside some config/layout files.
FWIW, I'm running completely stock but I rooted it yesterday. No ROM has been flashed, and I would love to keep it that way. Any help is greatly appreciated!

My thread got pushed off the front page faster than I could find Google Now on my new phone.

Thanx - nice find!
It still doesn't accomplish what I want, though... And I am a HUGE proponent of keeping things simple. My least favorite thing about Windows 8? All those muthereffin gestures that you need to memorize. It's not simple, and you have to completely relearn how to use an OS that you've been using for ages.
Holding the menu button to bring up google only works on the homescreen. How can I create a shortcut to access it from anywhere, even inside other apps?
hold down the home button to get the recent switcher and on the bottom there will be a button.

If you are on a Touchwiz ROM with their stock features, just bring up the multi-tasking/recent apps screen and there is a Google Now button at the bottom.
