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.

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

Any easy way to change functions of things like home/menu buttons, if for example I want to quickly pull up task manager without having to long press home. I find that to be tedious.

Here is an app that can launch apps by pressing home button twice.

Meh, I'd rather a single press for task manager, or better yet.. menu key and then hold for menu. I don't need hold menu for search.
Nova launcher lets you do what you please with menu and home buttons, for long and short press

Thanks for that recommendation, I'm using that nova as my default launcher. But it still doesn't really do what I'm looking for. It only works while on desktop and doesn't have a tap menu feature. I need something global. Hope I'm not being too picky lol

If you're rooted, you can edit the function of the home button pretty easily.

If you use that tutorial above, you'll see the properties of the keys. I enabled the on screen keys, disabled the capacitive keys, and remapped the home button to launch the camera instead of being a home button.
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.

hi, is there any mod that can make by holding hoke button to open recent apps?
i changed the desire x recent apps button to press for menu, press and hold for recent apps in settings cause i like it this way.
and i hate it how i have to hold the recent apps button to open recent apps. i think it is more convenient if hold home button to recent apps instead of holding recent apps button to open recent apps.
or make it like the htc one. double tap home button to recent apps.
is there any solutions?

Why not try the reverse of what you have press for recent apps and press & hold for menu I find it really convenient to do this you just
Goto settings>display and buttons>recent apps button and switch it up there...
One tap for recent apps which is obvious for the button press and hold for menu works flawlessly....
P. S. I know your not a noob in this unlike me

Is it working guys ?
I too installed the app. There's no option for holding. Holding menu key on my Note 2 would bring up search. I want to remap it to Recents.

There's a app called button remapper. Idk if it's in the play store but check. It works for my camera button as power. I'll look to see which file needs to be changed. Pm if problems..

Check Post #86 and i believe if you use nova or apex you can change long press menu to voice search in launcher settings...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415103&page=9
