can i change the make long pressing menu button to take me to the screen which long pressing home key does ?
Any ideas ? Mayb a workaround in framework or something ?
i want to long touch/press menu key from anywhere in any app and be taken to that ICS task switcher screen..
Is this possible ?
maybe a kernel modification like that three finger swap to sleep device in dorimanx kernel i saw earlier !

This is already implemented in CM10 based Roms. I don't know about others

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

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.
Is it possible to change the response time for long pressing the home button? Cutting it in half would be ideal

My understanding is that sammy based ROMs are intentionally hardcoded by Sammy to include a delay after pressing the home button once so as to wait for another press, to cater for a two button press gesture. This gesture is meant to activate voice command.
Therefore, this delay must have been embedded deep within some framework of sorts.

That is the reason why I like the rom AOSK have tactile buttons at the bottom as is the nexus, it is like pressing the home button

Im talking about the delay from long pressing the home button, not just single pressing it. Long pressing it brings up the recent apps menu, i want that menu to come up quicker.

I'll give that a try since im on aokp, not sure if i want to lose any screen space due to the buttons but we'll see how it affects it.
TL: DR the only way to get rid of the lag is to flash specific Sammy/CM/AOKP roms that have the decreased lag fix implemented (almost all do).
since ICS htc made phones with 3 keys back home and tasks while samsung and LG made back home and menu and long press on the home key take you to tasks...
so my question is that some old application that does not have the 3 dots at top that replacing the menu key let you access setting and more only by ptessing the menu key so....
my question is how does it work?
thank you for your answer
To get rid of the black settings bar, there's an option in settings. After that's changed, you have the option of short pressing the recent apps key for settings and long press for multitask/recent apps or vice versa.

Did you explored settings?
Usually custom ROMs allows users to change behavior of every buttons.
