Hey guys I seem to be having a problem with my softkeys from a dozen or so flashes ago and it hasn't been fixed. So basically if you wanted to access the task manager or voice search before you could hold either the home or search softkeys. My problem is that as soon as I hold the home key, it acts as a single press and it doesn't register a hold. Is there anyzone who knows how to fix this? Thanks a bunch!

In order to configure available settings, follow the steps below:
1. Press the Home Key
2. Press the Menu Key
3. Tap on Settings
Sound and Display in that menu you should be able to adjust the sensitivity of the touch and see if that resolves the issue
Sorry its not the intensity of the haptic and those settings don't have touch sensitivity. Im also running the newest bionix if that helps.

bump.
i still need help to fix this. its gettign to be a problem.
Ok, so I've read about how you don't get the ICS quick change/recently used apps button on the new SIii.
Questions 1 is there a way to remap the Menu button so that is does the quick change feature?
2 is there a way to then, the double tap home button feature to get GOOGLE Voice Search/Actions?
3 is there a way that I can add on screen ICS buttons like on the Galaxy Nexus? And then make the hardware home button do something else?
Do I need apps? Rooting?
Thanks!
You need to root. You can turn on software keys with the AOKP rom but you cannot disable the hard keys.

You can disable the capacitive buttons, but you cannot re map them from what I have found

i would rather have the task manager open when you hold and press on the back button. the menu button when u hold give u the google search, but on the back button when u hold nothing happens. it would be only logical to apply the task manager to this button when pressed down and held for a a few seconds
Hey I have heard that NOVA launcher pro allows you to customize some of the these short cuts on the phone.

Aw yeah.
I do not have the phone yet, but I believe holding the home button will bring up the recent apps. This is how it's been for previous android versions before they made a dedicated button for the galnex
that's how it works for my Dinc, on gingerbread and ics

1. open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
2. add # to the beginning of the line of the key you want to disable
3. reboot
in the same file you can remap power key to home key for example
remember to make backup before editinf the file

Go to Settings/Display under general you will see Touch Key light duration. Options include 1.5 Seconds, 6 seconds, Always off, and always on!

is there a way to stop the home button from waking the device also? (so only the power button wake the device up)
I wonder if you guys can enlighten me. My goal is to have the Home key under the screen function as the power button, and have the normal power button (on the right side of the phone) function as Home (without waking the device). I want this because I'm always unintentionally hitting the power button when I pick up the phone.
I was able to get the Home button to function as power by changing key 116 to 172 in sec_powerkey.kl. However, now the normal power button doesn't do anything. I tried swapping POWER with HOME in sec_keys.kl, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any tips on how to give my power button a function now?

No way to disable the capacitive keys on demand..though you can permanently disable them by activating the on screen navigation buttons

How you can activate on screen navigation buttons? 1st time i use galaxy s3 and android system now, past 5 years i used apple.
I am currently using the paranoid android rom and noticed it has an easy way to enable or disable the hardware buttons.
My question is, is it possible to enable and disable the buttons using either a combination of the volume buttons, or a long press of a hardware button. Reason being is i have a 2 year old who loves using flashcard apps but he's always hitting the buttons and messing everything up. I would also like this because it keeps him out of other apps and calling random people.

1. S Voice
Using wipe flashed rom, go into S Voice setting and untick 'open with home button' feature. Then remove S Voice app with Titanium Backup. From then on whenever screen turn off while in an app or even drawer, single home button press to bring screen back on forces home screen instead of whatever app I was in.
I dont want to keep S Voice app. Removing S Voice app without unticking the home button feature only work as long as I dont reboot my s3.
Any solution to this?
2. Side volume buttons + mute
Almost every JB ROM including Poland Official is not allowing me to change from volume control down mute, only down to vibrate.
Any solution to this?
Thank you for reading

both are problems with the stock samsung rom - I believe Jkays mod fixes these two issues (found in original development - for use with deodexed/custom roms).
