I was wondering what is a good button remapper to use. I want to change my search button to be.my most recent apps. one of the pics rooms does this by default. Just wondering if there's an app / method to apply this to other roms

Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a way to select recent apps. Works well for other tasks. I looked into this more and it seems to involve changing the android policy jar file? Seems to be more complicated than it needs to be.

Not sure why this was deleted last time as users were already discussing this topic. I'd like to know which moderator deleted it and why.
I think it'd be nice for devs to build into their rom a long press of a hardware button to launch the camera app.
If this thread should be in the APP/Themes section, a mod should MOVE it there not delete it entirely. Retarded.
So is this long press of a hardware button (i suggest one of the volume keys) possible to link to launching an app specifically the camera?
i was wondering where it went myself .ah well i like this idea and would use it if it became available.if its even possible
Look for an application on the market that lets your configure the long press on search softkey.
It'll let you load any application by long pressing the search key.
Thank you, works great.

I could be wrong, but i don't think the mods owe you any explanation. If you knew where you went wrong, why ask the question?
Anyways, back on topic, this would be an awesome mod on stock froyo, one I'd like to incorporate into my rom
OOORRRR.... You could long press your "seach key." To my knowledge the long press comes unassigned to anything. If you press it, it will give you an option of which app to use for it.
Search for the camera and VOILA! Again.
Personally, I have it set to QuickDesk.
Hey guys,
I just downloaded another voice talk app and would like to replace my default vilingo with it. Is it possible to change the double tap feature with another app? I tried searching but had no luck, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

This requires developer level modification to the framework. I think a couple of developers have removed the double click, but none have replaced it with something else, afaik.

Here you go, this is exactly what you want for double-tap:http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/advanced-home-button_bgrpx.html
With this "Double-Tap" you can launch any app you like.
It also can add other functions too.
Best of all it's free!

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.

Hello great developers. Is there a way to change the function of the menu button to launch recent apps? Like it is in the newer devices and the on screen buttons. Thanks.

Nothing, I like it the other way.
It is possible but I cann't guide you as I don't know how.Search around you might stumble upon a guide.

I've done a bunch of searching but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a way to remap the recent apps button to be a menu button? And long press for recent apps? I am stock, s-off, rooted, if that matters. Thanks!
Settings, display gestures buttons, recent apps. You can change it there

Isn't that what the button at the bottom of the phone to the right of the home key is?

It is a recent apps button, not a menu button.
Op, mist roms allow you to change it, but you can't on stock.

Just get a new launcher from Market.
Its easier (and more safe) than mucking around with the stock one.
I know Holo Launcher Pro (HD as widgets, also my all-time favorite launcher for some reason) has the ability to rename drawer tabs, and load either most recent, most frequent, widgets, and custom list in them.
I am sure that there are other launchers that do the same.
If you want to change anything in the stock launcher, you must have root privleges.
Use at your own risk. Havent ever modded a launcher before, only other apps.
Copy the apk to another location (and make a backup if anything goes wrong).
Change the extension to .zip
Explore the zip, and modify anything that looks safe to change.
If you are brave enough, rename the extension to .apk again, and place it back in the "system/app" directory.
Reboot the phone if nessisary.
Use at your own risk.
Please thank me if you found this useful.

Many roms now support this feature and there is also a mod that when you flash it, it will enable this feature.
