Any way to remap the camera button yet?
I'd like to turn on the flashlight app when the screen is off, on long press of the camera button.
The phone isn't rooted, and I've no interest in rooting it currently.
Any suggestions?
Well I will tell you before you can even think about doing something like this you will definitely need to be rooted at the least. I'm sure it can be done by one of the devs....

You can remap them, not sure if you can remap to an app though..pkmn let's you map home key when lock screen is on to do that

Home key + power button at the same time. You probably already know about it but maybe there are a few who don't.

I actually didnt know this until a few days ago, I would use a rooted screen shot app.
Im sure people will find this useful, thanks
A friend of mine is running a build of ics on his razr. He can't seem to find a way to access the recent apps menu on the razr. He tried holding home but no avail. Are there any apps to remap a function to the capacitive button?

Just edit the keyboard file. You can remap the keys that way. My search button opens my camera.
I'm trying to find a way to remap the camera button to be used as a play/pause while the screen is off. The button remapper app is able to do this on some phones, but it doesn't seem to work on the Evo.

Even better would be the above when screen is off and the search/voice search when screen is on.

Yeah, or simply to remap it to whichever function you want.
Hi everyone

i have upgraded to ICS but i still have to long press the home key to launch recent app list which is very annoying.
Thanks.
Its like gingerbread, long press to show recent apps, as far I know it can't be done yet

Im not experienced in this field but my logic tells me that its only use is for the camera since its a hardwarebutton.
Good idea though.
In case you want the soft buttons that ICS provides there is a thread called on screen buttons mod in the dev section.

Don't you think changing the function of camera key would be a bit weird? Everytime you have to switch between apps, you'll have to reach the cam key. Waste of time, if you ask me. And I don't think it has been done.
You'd better enable the default on screen buttons of ICS.
Just follow this link:

I have been looking everywhere but I still have yet to find anything. I have a galaxy note 2 and I enabled the on screen buttons, disabled the capacitive buttons and would love to remap the hardware home button to open !utter while my on screen buttons work normally fine. Is there anyway I can do this? I have tried button remapper but there's no option for apps only core functions such as home, back, menu, etc.
