I have connected SHIELD to TV and either BT mouse or a MOGA controller, but I couldn't figure out a way to go "back" or "home". There's no onscreen buttons, anyone have any ideas how to use "home" or "back"?

Yea, use gmd gesture control from the play store.

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.
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.

try the Nova Launcher app. I'm too new to be allowed to post a link to it...
I'm using mouse on s3 via otg cable, left click and scrolling are working on launcher and other apps.
But when im using it on game (currently Hunggry Shark Evo) i can't even click "Play" with my mouse. How can i fix it ?
And also, do you know an app that can make shortcut with my mouse ? (Like right click is back, scroll click is home menu) ?
Thanks !

I assume, but I might be wrong, that the games have to support other input methods than the touch screen. At least that is how it works with my Bluetooth PS3 controller which only works native with games that support controllers, for anything else I have to use Sixaxis to map buttons. So this might be the case for the mouse as well?

Yes, exactly like that but for mouse
I'm also looking for apps that allow me to put shortcut to my mouse button

You can press and hold and it will bring up 3 options one of them being google.

HA! never saw those 3 options in the months of using that button to bring up the task manager
thanks.
No problem :thumbup:

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

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
