Don't write in capital letters, because it means screaming.
Try this app that replaces the action of physical keys. There are many apps similar in operation, but for me this one is the best.

Same great Button Savior without needing to root your device!

Is there a way you can hard-coded, let say the left capacitive button to act as a home button when you long-pressed it? especially on ICS roms that for let say you want to see the recent apps(home button long-pressed) alternatively you'll just long-press the left capacitive button = profit?
My home button is being quirky nowadays(6 months owner) and I don't want to bring it to Service Center just to repair that.. The problem is not groundbreaking(not yet) but this will save me in the future and probably others will so
It's not exactly what you want, but maybe Button Savior will do for you?
I think capacitive buttons are more likely to stop working than the physical buttons. My friend has a motorola Milestone and his back button stopped working in a month. Dont know if it is a bug

Still need to use home-button I'm in CM9 right now and the home button is really ****ed-up especially when I'm multitasking and I really love how ICS implement the task-switching/killing "Recent app"

Well that's a different phone but maybe that can apply to ours. What I mean is that sometimes my home button when I long press and then released it, it double registers the pressing so it's like you pressed again the home button
I am also looking forward for a solution to this. As I also want as much as possible not to use the home button. I quite feel that somehow it is already degrading. Showing press results that are not what I specify. Like for example clicking does 2 clicks thus entering 2 directories in CWM.
Button Savior could have been perfect if the recent apps it shows is the firmware's version. It shows its built-in recent apps instead.
Hi Guys
I broke the capacitive buttons on my S3. Looking for the best software solution. Ideally a button remapper where I can assign the back button to the power button for back.Long press for power. Or even use the middle button long and short presses etc.
Many Thanks

You'll need root to remap I would expect.
You could also enable the NavBar:

A simpler solution could be lmt launcher...which needs root access...or pie control from the play store...both apps use on screen buttons rather than capacitive
navbar is the best solution
Thanks Guys, Was really hopping for a button remap option but thanks any way. Il try those options.
Cheers
Hi,
A while back I bought a neat little toy from Singapore. It's a dual core 2,5 inch Android phone.
There's just one thing that bothers me. The "alt+tab" physical button actually acts as the menu button.
I've looked around a bit and been trying to figure something out but so far I'm stuck.
The phone is ready rooted and is up to date on that front, I just need some help editing one of the files in /system/media/keylayout, I think.
Here's a picture if there's any doubt on which button I mean. It's the button to the left: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uo8er3nb5reocm/IMG_20150711_175617.jpg?dl=0
If I do succeed in changing the action on this button will the apps automaticly add the onscreen menu button? Or is there a way to make long-press the now remapped button to have another action so I don't lose the ability to get menu dropdowns?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
No one?
Hey guys... before people start jumping the gun, I know all about remapping the bixby button to another app.
What I would like to ask, is there any way to remap the Power Button to an app/action and the Bixby button to become the Power Button ? (without root)
I ask because I usually have my phone in my left pocket and it's just easier to use the thumb button for power rather than trying to find the power button on the other side of the phone.
It would have been nice if they gave us the option to assign specific abilities to individual buttons, for left and right handed users.
Thee is an app on Google Play called "bxactions" that might do what you are asking
The 'pro' version of the app does a lot more than the free version, which still allows some button remapping upto a point
There are quite a few Bixby button remappers out on Google Play Store, I've trued some of them and 'bxactions' seems to offer the better choices

Yeah, I found the bixby button remappers.
Haven't found any power button remappers though
I've got the "side key" set to be a power button, but every fiber of my being believes the power button is the one on top. Is there any way I can make the volume up button act as a power button?
You will adapt...
Yeah I think you can do that... saw a remapping apk or that option somewhere.
Problem is it may come back to haunt you; follow the KISS protocol whenever possible.
Those buttons serve some important functions especially when you're having major problems.
Probably a bad idea to alter the button layout that much... after a couple weeks it becomes automatic, more or less
You may find the Galaxy Store app One Handed Operation Plus useful to add more virtual switches.
