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?

Just edit the keyboard file. You can remap the keys that way. My search button opens my camera.
I was wondering what is a good button remapper to use. I want to change my search button to be.my most recent apps. one of the pics rooms does this by default. Just wondering if there's an app / method to apply this to other roms

Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a way to select recent apps. Works well for other tasks. I looked into this more and it seems to involve changing the android policy jar file? Seems to be more complicated than it needs to be.
is any one else having issue after changing recent button to menu button in gesture settings that menu dosent work on stock JB unrooted. works fine in apps, browser, nova launcher etc. i have it set to press for menu and press and hold for recents..... :crying:

you need a modified rosie.apk
which means you have to be rooted
Hmm wonder why they would include it and give option to change buttons bit have to be rooted to use it. And why it works in apps browser and alternative launchers but not stock..... OH WELL ill get over it:banghead:

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.

If you are rooted there is thread in android development section with flashable mods, bunch of good stuff HTC didn't include

I just flashed AOKP, but the only way I can find a menu button is to enable the NavBar. Is there a way to make the recent apps short press be the menu button and make recent apps long press?

You need to edit the buttons in system/user/keylayout.
That pathway is not even close to what u need but if you search the thread you'll find the correct path

System/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Edit were it says APP-SWITCH to MENU save an reboot but you will lose the press and hold for recent apps
Also why you not give root box ROM a try it has all AOKP features plus the option you're looking for like in CM10 to remap these button

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.
