thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to have the app switcher that i wanted... i want the same thing as the one that shows up when you long press the home button.. i just want it to show up when you long press the menu... instead of the search function, i want the app switcher...

This is probably what you're looking for. Works a treat and no more long pressing home

its touchwiz/widget bound. you can launch it only from homescreen.
Home buttons broken, Is there any way I could make another button go to the home screen? Such as long pressing back button or something
It won't fix your physical broken button but, download Button Savior from the store.

Glad you got it working. I have a question about the buttons though, are they supposed to have an LED backlight behind them?

Yeah. When the screen is awake a white light should come on behind them.

So now the home button is somehow pushing itself, is there a way to completely disable the button?

Have you deleted HOME from the original home key in the file? If not I would try that and see if that works.
Is there any way to remap the the menu or back button to bring up the multi-tasking menu through long press?
Check out my other post. I use this app and it works well

Hello, I wanted to know is there a way to change which app launches when you long press the menu button? Currently it's Google search.
I'm on a rooted Xperia S, if that matters.
Thanks in advance!

You can do it by using some launchers like holo launcher.
In holo launcher settings you can select which action you would you like to perform when pressing menu button for a long time...
Press Thanks; if I helped You.

I'm using apex, sadly it doesn't support the menu button but I found an option to use gestures for that, thank you.

Is there a mod that can open an app when the menu button is held down? I know some launchers use this but I want to be able to use it everywhere, not just in the launcher. Thanks!

I'm not sure about the menu button but I think there's something called home2home or something that let's you change what holding the home key does. I'm not sure though so I could be wrong
