Thinking about picking up a gs2 buuuuut will really miss the search button. I use that as my app drawer/contacts/dialer etc, I just start typing whatever I want to do with my phone.
Is it currently possible to assign double tap to search? I don't see the option in launcher pro
try long press the menu button
If you hold the menu.button on the Galaxy S2 it behaves as a search button.
if you double tap home you get voice search or voice commands by vlingo. It actually works pretty well.
awesome, thanks guys!
I'd not noticed this before but it seems the RN3 left hand button is a recents button on press and a menu button on long press. This prevents the handy split screen feature from working in CM14 and above on this button. I can get this feature to work by adding a "Long press action" to the home button in settings however I would like it to work the same as my other Android devices.
Any thoughts on how this can be changed? I've had a mess in the keyboard layouts (where I also removed the long press on fingerprint to start the camera as it's annoying) but no luck with this.
Thanks.
EDIT: After changing the values again in Settings->Buttons this now seems to be working as it should. Odd.
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
Hi community, i'm looking a way to activate the long press functionality using the task button (the one next to home that is not back button). I just update my phone Xiaomi to android 8.1, i use a few aplications (critical for me) that require a long press on that button, i imagine that is some config missing on build.prop
Remember, always attack ideas, never people.
I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
