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.

A friend of mine is running a build of ics on his razr. He can't seem to find a way to access the recent apps menu on the razr. He tried holding home but no avail. Are there any apps to remap a function to the capacitive button?

Press and hold home button.
...I specifically stated he said that does nothing.

Just edit the keyboard file. You can remap the keys that way. My search button opens my camera.
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

I was wondering if there was a way to use the home button as an app drawer? For example pressing the home button on the home screen would function as a app drawer instead of having to press an on-screen button to do so.

Possible with other launchers available from the play store.
Oh thanks, is there possibly a way to make that work using touch wiz launcher? I prefer the whole touchwiz look and feel, but for now I'll try some other launchers :cyclops:
Hey, is there any rom/mod allowing remapping of GSIII button keys?
I'd love to get Recent Apps open by using the left Menu Button instead of double clickin' on the Home Button (a sort of Nexus style, whose Recent App button was the soft key on the right). To be honest, I'd like to swap them (double click Home Button for menu, tap left button for Recent Apps).
Thanks!
I remember cm10 has this feature.

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.
