Anyone know if its possible on a rooted device to swap the hardware buttons map? I just came form the Nexus S and the S3 has the "Back" and "Menu" buttons swapped.
Thanks.

I use a bluetooth keyboard case meant for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch (on clearance at ThinkGeek). The "back" button does not work but the "home" and "menu" buttons on the keyboard work. Case covers the capacitive buttons in landscape mode. Wondering if the capacitive buttons can be locked to the right of screen when in landscape mode so capacitive buttons are accessible?
Im waiting for some1 to raise this suggestion. I really want this feature, for the purose of button fast and easy (a lot) to access.. Hope someone can mod this..

I have the sgs2 for a few months, Im very satisfied with this phone, But there is a thing I cannot live with, THE HOME BUTTON, I dont know why? but a I dont like it at all, Ive been proving some apps to avoid it, someones like button savior, swipepad and wave launcher (This one is absolutely great).
I just wanna know: is there a way to remap LONG PRESS "BACK KEY" to go to home?, just like long press menu does to go to search!. I proved BUTTONREMAPPING but it doesnt have the "long press" options. I was searching and now I know that files on /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars setup the keys on the phone, indeed /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl shows the default capacitive buttons setup, but I dont have enough knowledge to change "LONG PRESS" options on this keys.
so:
Some of you guys know about it?
It is possible or not setup LONG PRESS BACK OR MENU KEY on SGS2?
I would also love to know how to remap those buttons. Also double-click home. I am running the simple clean room (based on stock rom)

Hi Guys
I broke the capacitive buttons on my S3. Looking for the best software solution. Ideally a button remapper where I can assign the back button to the power button for back.Long press for power. Or even use the middle button long and short presses etc.
Many Thanks

You'll need root to remap I would expect.
You could also enable the NavBar:

A simpler solution could be lmt launcher...which needs root access...or pie control from the play store...both apps use on screen buttons rather than capacitive
navbar is the best solution
Thanks Guys, Was really hopping for a button remap option but thanks any way. Il try those options.
Cheers
Hi,
A while back I bought a neat little toy from Singapore. It's a dual core 2,5 inch Android phone.
There's just one thing that bothers me. The "alt+tab" physical button actually acts as the menu button.
I've looked around a bit and been trying to figure something out but so far I'm stuck.
The phone is ready rooted and is up to date on that front, I just need some help editing one of the files in /system/media/keylayout, I think.
Here's a picture if there's any doubt on which button I mean. It's the button to the left: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uo8er3nb5reocm/IMG_20150711_175617.jpg?dl=0
If I do succeed in changing the action on this button will the apps automaticly add the onscreen menu button? Or is there a way to make long-press the now remapped button to have another action so I don't lose the ability to get menu dropdowns?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
No one?
So recently my friend's phone got his navigation hardware button broken.
The navigation hardware button likely random pressed home button itself. Is there anyway to fix it?
Disable hardware button is OK too, how to do it?

Thanks before

I got this problem too with my 'Menu' and 'Home' buttons , untill today when they suddenly started to work perfectly normal after few months that they were totally broken ! Another Xiaomi magic trick...
To disable 'Home' button and get rid of those irritating autopress go to system/usr/keylayout/ and modify Generic.kl : add an # in front of key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
