Hi-
I don't have a DNA, but a friend asked me to do this. It remaps the Recents capacitive button to a menu button. It also removes the 3 dot onscreen menu bar. I don't have a solution for remapping recents to longpress home or anything like that. So you kinda have a trade off here. Alternatively, you could grab an app from the market that will make a recents shortcut on your homescreen.
Just flash in recovery. A revert zip will be coming shortly.
Con is a .......BEEEEEAST!!! Thanks bro!!
Working GREAT! Thanks! :good:

Thanks for posting.
On the DNA longpress home is Google now.
Is there anyway to make longpress on recents do the recent apps function? I've been trying to do it but it fails.
You have to edit android.policy.jar I think but beyond that I don't remember exactly what needs to be done.

I was kind of hoping we could just get Recents to long press to Menu honestly.
For those of you that want longpress remaps and such:
Look @ these One XL threads:

Download their files and the corresponding original RUU. Decompile both sets of files and see what they changed in each version. Then "apply" the same changes to the DNA files. If someone tackles that, just shoot me a PM and I'll lock my thread in favor of the new stuff.

For those using the espresso sense that hate the stupid faves app and are tired of having a dead button on the home screen, this is for you. I remapped it, and have attached a couple different versions. One maps it to open the stock contacts app, and the other to the stock browser app.
I'm working on getting rid of faves all together, and would like to have the old htc favorites tab in the contacts app and the htc favorites widgets too. But I dont know if I can do it, we'll see. For now though here is the new Rosie.
Instructions:
This was taken from a stock rooted build of espresso 2.1 and is only known to work on such.
Back up your old files first!
adb shell cp /system/app/Rosie.apk /sdcard
adb shell cp /system/app/Rosie.odex /sdcard
For those with system apps odexed, you'll want to get the appropriate Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex.zip. Rename them to Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex. Reboot into recovery, then use this adb code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Rosie.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Rosie.odex
adb push (your saved file location)\Rosie.apk /system/app
adb push (your saved file location)\Rosie.odex /system/app
For those of you without separate .odex files in your /system/app folder, I used a de-odexer on the two files to join them, but have not tested it yet, as the build I am running is odexed. Grab the appropriate Rosie_noodex.apk rename it to Rosie.apk reboot into recovery and use the same code, but ignore lines 3 and 5 (the ones with .odex in them!) and then post here to let me know it works.
Sweet!!! Works great on CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA Full ROM, thanks!!!
Awesome work I saw something like this on hero forums and wondered if someone would do the same here

Not to be negative, but this could be remapped to something more useful. Contacts are very easily already accessible through the left shortcut. You could better help yourself and others by making the the faves shortcut a text or web shortcut.

Hmmm, are you sure you got the right .odex? The rosie has the pics and the odex tells it what to open. It worked on mine. But I may have uploaded the wrong one I'll look when I get home.

I'm pretty sure, but I'll go ahead and transfer it over again and see if it helps. Maybe I downloaded the wrong odex.

I used an odex script available on the forums here (got it forever ago, dont remember where, do a search for odex) that will odex apks from inside the rom, as the odex file is dependent on that specific rom. Though I edited the script to suit my needs, the functions are still the same as it uses the dexopt-wrapper to do it.
I got rid of the slide and never tried the 3rd sense roms, but if I still had it, I wouldn't use the rom anyway, as they're still buggy..
I'm a dev interested in making an SMS version of this shortcut.... could you give me a jumping off point? I don't believe the source for Rosie Espresso is available so how were you able to replace this shortcut? You can't just change the icon and all the layouts are compiled.
Thanks for the help!

Use smali and baksmali (search Google for them) to decompile the odex or the apk if its been deodexed then once decompiled check the folder called out>HTC>launcher> or some order like that then look for the launcher.smali not launcher1 or 2 etc etc. Now use a text editor and open launcher.smali then do a search in it for faves or the faves app real name and change the fields to the messaging app name and action the save exit and recompile add to the apk or reodex depending on the rom

I believe this is only a feature of sense, right? So if you use a nonsense ROM you won't have it. Unless it is a feature of Swype?

I was running the blue soft keys and now when I put them back in sytem/app I get force closes and the entire nav bar disappears. Any ideas? I really hate the skinned look Asus puts on them. Thanks in advance.
Swiftks hit the nail on the head, there were some changes to the SystemUI that breaks older versions. (I know, captain obvious over here) Give the developer of the theme a chance to update the PNG files, or do it yourself. I ran into the same problem yesterday and copying the PNG files I wanted into the new SystemUI.apk fixed it.
I'm not sure how to do that. The nav keys I was using are just stock ICS blue. If you or anyone happens to have a link to some I could use with the updated files that would be fandamntastic. I can't seem to find the thread where I downloaded them from. I know they were on XDA but I've been searching since yesterday. Thanks again

Make sure to copy to correct folder, and select "store" for the compression method, that way they are not compressed.

Yes, I am putting the file in system/app and the file is not compressed. I've done this with each of the updates and now it doesn't work. I was thinking it may be because Asus added the lock function to the nav bar. Once again if anyone has another file they could point me too that would be awesome. I can't find the thread that I got my ICS blue buttons from.
I just want to share how to make a navigation panel like nexus..
Just write on build.prop :

But you can't take a screenshoot with home + power button..

When I activate the 'nexus' navigation buttons is it then possible to deactivate the stock hard- and software buttons?

Go to /system/usr/keylayout
For me(Pac 4.2.2) i have a file called "janice.kl". Opening it as a text file gives me the list of buttons.
Put a star(*) at the start of the line wich u dont want.
Putting a star before a line will deactivate that key.
The file in stock rom is named differently. Find it.
Use this carefully!! I am not responsible if u stand in a situation without hardkeys and softkeys.
P.S.- I hav used this for quite a while; its fun!

To be clear, these will only work for AOSP ROMs and the GoogleEdition ROM.
Threw these together for myself. Love having the navbar but it is a pain to add every nightly I flash. So I threw this together. I made two versions. One simply adds the navbar and disables the capacitive menu and back buttons (with them active the navbar becomes nearly impossible to use) and triggers the navbar. Fear not, this mod triggers the in app menu overflow access and for that matter you could then create a menu on the navbar. I couldn't automate disabling the backlight so that will still need to be disabled via settings>advanced>sensors. I also made a version that changes the device DPI from 480 to 360 (my preferred DPI).
Download - AOSP_navbar_enabled.v3.zip
Base version above now allows OTA survival. Will reapply itself after each nightly.
Download - AOSP_navbar_enable_360dpi.zip
Download - AOSP_remove_NAVBAR.v3.zip
Here is the method to inject changed into the build.prop that I used (found here)
On the GoogleEdition ROM it does not support disabling the capacitive button backlights natively so the app from the following thread is needed
[APP] Google Edition ROMs - Disable Button Lights

Thanks for this. Is it possible to only activate the in app menu overflow without adding the nav bar? It's so much more intuitive to have that, rather than guessing whether or not the menu button will do anything within each app (the whole reason google got rid of the menu button in the first place).
I wish I knew how!! To be frank, when you enable the navbar and disable the capacitive buttons it activates the menu overflow within apps all by itself. Must be part of the navbar framework. But let me look into it. I MIGHT have an idea but it would be ROM specific, not a general mod like this. What ROM are you running or would like such a feature for?
