I've searched everywhere, but didn't find a solution for the following:
when you hold the bottom left hardware touchkey you'll get a popup browser with google search.
And if you hold the center key a window appears with recent programs.
Is there a way too change these shortcuts into something of my own choice?
My s2 is rooted, so maybe there is an app that will do the trick?
Like you, I'd love to remap the menu key to home and home key to menu. We use the home key much more often than menu and it's harder to press a physical key. However, I haven't found such a mod yet.
Remapping keys
I am looking for a way to remap long press of back key (i.e. hold down right key) to something else. Haven't found anything yet.
Now I am using SwipeSwitcher - I configured top left swipe to run Quicker, top right swipe to run a task switcher (I am using PreHome), bottom right swipe to run recent apps (I couldn't find an app to run ICS recent apps, I installed Nova Launcher and assigned the swipe action to its recent apps shortcut).
Dear Developers,
I got a quick question:
is it possible to change the function of the menu button to the muti tasking function instead?
if so is it possible to be a APK file format and installation for it to work on a stock phone?
if no, then i guess it has to be rooted? if thats the case, does that mean most applications will lose the menu button? cant be the same as the Nexus phone where all applications has a on screen menu button?
OR just do a swap between the two functions? holding down the home key gives the menu function whereas the menu function gives the muti tasking function.
thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
E
It's possible, but I don't know how the menu button will show up then, and having that ugly HTC-esque navbar with one button is not the way it should be...
sorry, it i just me or anyone else finds the menu button pretty useless.
holding down the home button to bring the multi tasking up is too slow in my opinion.
would be great if someone can just switch the two functions of menu and multi.
:laugh:
thanks tho

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont find is useless.
What i find useless is you can get the same menu just by pressing on your homescreens or longpress there, so 3 ways to get that menu up.
On the matter on what button brings up the task manager, i really dont care. After a few days i got used to it being behind the home button.
Hello,
I know this question was asked elsewhere, but I did not find any solution to this.
Is it possible to make the capacitive Menu button function like a multitasking button in Galaxy S2?
If there is one thing I hate, it is having to long press Home to get to the multitasking menu.
I would really love to replace the menu key to do multitasking.
This is not unlike what HTC did with One X where did the opposite and gave an option to make the multitasking key a menu key.
I think by now, most of the applications in play store do have menu option within the app interface following android guidelines.
So, lack of a dedicated menu button should not be an issue.
If anyone knows any custom ROM or any other hack to achieve this, please do let me know.
Cheers.
CM10 -> Settings -> System -> Hardware keys -> Menu key or Menu key (long press) -> Recent apps switcher.
If you select Menu key (short press), I guess you'll ahve to enable the Show action overflow below to have the 3 dots as menu key in apps.
Maybe CM9 does have this too, and maybe AOKP (although I never saw this on ICS AOKP or JB AOKP).
Hey guys,
I want to change the function of my softkeys next to my physical homebutton. I want to long press the left settings softkey to open recent apps, so i don't have to use my home button. I am on the latest CheckRom JB. I know this feature is possible on CM10. Is it possible on CheckRom?
Hi,
Just wondering, but how do u access the menu in apps? Do u long press the back button or something?
What app is this? In most apps there are these 'three dots' menu that you can click. Usually it's in the top right or bottom center.
