Is there a way to remap it to long press back or long press recent apps

Not trying to hijack your thread, but I'd like to swap the power+vol down method with the power+home. In addition, I'd like to allow screenies to be able to be saved on sdcard2. I'd look into it, but I'm in a hotel for two weeks, and my laptop just crashed. (The day I go on summer vacation from work; I'm a computer tech.)

Just curious why you want to? There are already two ways of taking a screenshot and they are both very quick.

Hey. I have the EVO 3D and every now and then the phone freezes or maybe when restarting the phone it gets stuck on the boot image and ill just pull the battery to fix it. What is to be done in this situation if it happens on the LTEVO? My 3D is not rooted and is stock as can be so the freezing situation must be normal.

There's a key combination. Home and power for a few seconds? Not sure since I don't have one yet but I'm sure its in the manual.
Hold vol+ vol- and home all at the same time
There's a manual?

On my EVO 4G and EVO 3D while browsing if I saw a pic I wanted to share via text,fb etc Id long press the pic and a menu would come up with all the programs on the phone. Now with the ICS browser your forced to save it go in the gallery and share from there. Its a pain in the rear

Its cuz of apples patent dispute
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yep. F***ing Apple.
I thought it was the patent thing to, until I checked my transformer prime and I don't have that option there either.
I tried opera on the evo as well, just the save option. Thinking it may be more an ICS thing though and not having to do with the HTC/crApple stuff.
Maybe someone can figure out how to get this back. My Prime doesnt have it either its an ICS thing
Yep its pretty weak.... I'm sure the devs will figure out how to get it back.

Are you talking about browsing while in the camera app? If you are then while browsing through them you just touch the pic (not long press) and you have options, one of them being share.
Check out the htclinkifydispatcher.apk mod in the development section and see if that helps. U must be rooted (not unlocked) to do so though. I just did the mod and when I click and hold a random pic on the net a list of options appear and if you select share link you can post it on fb and etc. It also enables links and urls to become active in the stock email app....

Yeah actually I owned both I guess I just never really used that feature lol. It would be cool to be able to do that though...
I can do it on my tf101. Long press pic and it brings up menu-one of the choices are "share link". Tap that and it brings up
All the programs on your tablet. But LTE, no go, and I have done the htclinkifyer mod within the build.prop.

so i had an htc hero for 2.5 years, and made the decision to finally upgrade.
this is just my 2 cents so far (quick review)
i like the phone. there are a few things about it that just seem funky though, and i know some of you are working on fixes.
i dislike:
-the on-screen menu button. should be re-mapped to the recent apps button, and long pressing the recent apps button should open up the app switcher. the app switcher itself is annoying. i don't like scrolling through cards. i miss a bunch of icons popping up and me picking which app i was using that way.
-the multi-tasking issues (gr)
Wait upgraded... From.... Hero.... Congrats .. And Idk why everyone wants buttons re mapped I guess some features are used more my some people then myself. I n the multi tasking I'd annoying we all agree with that lol.

i know right? i was used to it and it worked for me. i even develop themes lol. but i used a droid2 to test them on. i liked the hero.
to be honest, i miss the trackball. SO MUCH easier to edit text with. like, seriously.
I think it is great you got much use out of the Hero. I am glad to see that when other people use/try out every new phone that comes out. Not throwing stones but not me. Takes me too long to learn all the ins and outs of a new phone.

I agree, and I was one of those. I spent two days with the new evo from the OG EVO, and I almost forgot about the things that I was so used to. There are so many pluses to ICS. Maybe it's the beautiful screen that distracted me like a swinging pendulum hypnosis, or the FAST camera. Huge step up from EVO 4G. If I was coming from the Hero, I would have jizzed!

Well...... Welcome to the EVO 4g LTE
As for the stuff you dislike, you can flash a rom to get rid of the on screen menu button and make one of the capacitive buttons the menu button. I think you can get an app to make the multitasking look different... I remember something like this when using gingerbread.
I don't have any multitasking issued but I do have a bit of lag when switching tasks or just lag in general.... If that is what you meant.
pkmn rom is the heavy weight champ. unlike most, I like the multitasking button but i hated the three dot menu. The pkmn rom let's u remap buttons with long press options so I have menu set up for long press home and toggle off the three dot menu - it's perfect. You can also change the multitasking to the stock Android look. it's the perfect rom - yall should check it out
where can I find said ROM? I didn't see it in the dev section. I'll google it

Yeah, if even that long. The funny thing is that the change is so simple (go find runandhides thread, he shows how he did it) that anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an all can do it. Let alone HTC, it shouldn't have taken them this long.

No I must agree. You may be mistaken about what is broken with multitasking on our phones. The One X fix removes the black menu bar at bottom of screen in some apps & moves recent apps to a long press of the button. Our multitasking problem is Sense not storing the state of apps once we switch from one to another so that when we do switch or multitask back to original opened app it has to completely restart. This fix does nothing to help that and I don't see HTC releasing one anytime soon seeing as that is how they intended it to work, so from their pov it is working properly.

Have you guys even read the HTC ONE X update thread or did you just read the post the OP posted and see what it contained?
Go read the XDA thread please
I know it has nothing to do with the menu button. Its a RAM issue, and its being reported as being fixed by multiple users.. Go read the thread.
Being "Katty" gets "Katty" responses. Don't make assumptions about others' knowledge
Nothing in that android central article says anything about multitasking being fixed by this update..Now if you want to find those threads where people are reporting improvements then I will gladly read them.

The discussion regarding multitasking is HTC's "memory optimization". That means the HOX boots with more ram available, not multitasking being what it should be - multitasking.
I really like this phone. I can deal with a moderate task killer. I don't use the phone like I do a computer. All I ask for is a level of multitasking where I can browse the web, change an album or two, send a message, and return to browsing the web - seamlessly. There is clearly enough ram, let us use it.

Unfortunately HTC's current next generation smart phone's have been a big flop. I'm sure this update will make the current user base happy, but it will definitely not attract new users. HTC has been to slow with its updates to fix current problems and unfortunately it took me to install CM10 to finally use multitasking the way it was meant to be. Htc better fix their problems quickly or they'll be the next Nokia.

I knew I wasn't going crazy. My ram percentage was always under 25 percent. Something was very off about that. That's the same percentage my Evo 4g gave off with the same apps installed. Sometimes my Evo 4g was better. Smh. Multitasking won't be updated by HTC until October I bet

About multitasking from what I just saw over there they are getting more free ram avail from get go but HTC still did not make it so apps won't reload but that was one persons account...someone on AP said it was completely fixed...so its hard to say so many people seem confused...

there is a app or mod that I had seen in a rom that I tried a long time ago and when you touch between the back and home button the volume would go down and between the home and the menu button it would go up I thought it was something like swipe to wake but I have no idea what it was called. can someone help me with this.
It's a feature in Thicklizard's Arc Reactor kernel. It was a phantom volume mod.

I don't think you'll find an app since such a thing had to do with kernel capabilities. Unless it supports the feature, you can't set the option. If you're lucky and you ask nicely, a dev might listen and build it in. Of course it's entirely their decision.
