Map hardware button - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Is it possible to map the home button to something else other than S Voice?
I am aware one can disable S Voice from starting when one long presses the home button, and I have checked out Google, and it seems a previous utility Button Remapper or something like that is no longer available.

You can use Xpose framework with Wanam module to replace Svoice with another application.

Thanks, tried but could not get it to launch the app. Not sure what went wrong

Change function of home button?

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.

Remap search button on PA 2.56

I would like to remap the hardware Search button to Recent Apps, but the system/usr/217 method isn't working, nor is it in the system settings. Anyone able to get this to work? I'm on PA 2.56. Thanks!

You can also get "home2 shortcut" which will allow you to use double tap to open any app. I use it to make google now my voice search

you can also edit what the buttons do if you are rooted just edit /system/urs/keylayout/generic.kl AND /system/usr/keylayout/gpiokeys.kl to have the buttons be whatever you like the main buttons are 139 menu 158 back and 172 home. Make sure you dont erase the wake or wake_dropped if you want them to work like before. You can erase it if you want the home button to not wake up the phone.
You can also bring up the on screen keys like a tablet with one line to build.prop if you want. Just add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the end of build.prop and the on screen keys will appear on reboot

There's a app called button remapper. Idk if it's in the play store but check. It works for my camera button as power. I'll look to see which file needs to be changed. Pm if problems..

Check Post #86 and i believe if you use nova or apex you can change long press menu to voice search in launcher settings...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415103&page=9

Menu button?

On my G2 I had a menu soft button at the bottom of the screen. On this phone, I don't see any way to add that button. I use Enhanced Email for my exchange email, and I can't do anything without that button. Any ideas?

Dedicated menu button?
Is there any way to flip the long touch/short touch behavior here, or (even better) add a dedicated home touch button for the menu? I use the menu button way more than "recent".

If you have t-mobile device and rooted, xpose such as gravity or tweakbox will do that

Awesome. Do you have a specific recommendation about which one to use?
Note: for people in the future, this looks like a good place to go for instructions on how to add Xposed.
