I want to tap a harware button to actions other than the simple tap. For eg. the camera button. Tapping it should open the camera. Tap and hold should open S2P. Double tap should open File manager, and so on.
...something exactly like

But it doesn't work on my phone, and I cannot figure out it's settings, since it's a Japanese(?) program roughly converted to english.
Surely another program which does this exists! Any pointers?
NVM, I found one. It's called AE Button Plus.

I would like to know how to assign button 'OK' to another program just like porgrma 'mort player'.Pls advise me. Thank you in advance.
that makes two of us. anyone?
You can us AE Button Plus, this can map any key to any program
Can i change it vai register ?
AEButton plus does this for me.
The only problem is you cannot map both "Ok" buttons on the Hermes as it causes some strange behavior and locking up of buttons.
What I love about AEB is that all my buttons now have multiple uses.
My Mail button: single press = Mail app double press alt Tab to next application
IE Button: Single Voice Minder, Double Picsel Browser
Voice Dial: Single Voice Dial, Double VJ Flashlight
Front OK: Single Close App, Double Task Manager, Triple Oxios free ram
Comm Manager: Single Comm Manager, Double BandSwitch
etc etc
A little tricky to set up at first but well worth it in the end

My problem is only 'OK' button and the other buttons is alright !!!
Hi,
I use AEBPlus in my TP2 to change four physical button to run a application but can't get any success. Nothing is happened.
Is it possible to change home key to run a application in registry?
Thanks.
I'm having the same issue. I can "set" the back button in AEBplus, but no matter what I set it to, it will not work. For the Home button, all it does it go to the home screen (exiting AEBPlus) instead of allowing me to map it.
Any ideas?
Would love to see the ability to map single press/long press/ double press (single short-second long) to do different things.
Tried AEB Plus, it works, though not very well. The <-- (back) button does not work after adding in AEB Plus. But I can map the windows, and end keys. I kept 1 press untouched, and remapped 2-press, 3-press and long-press.
The trick to remapping the windows button is: press once 1st so it'll open the programs screen, then double/triple/long press after that. The timing to press is important...
Hi,
im using the i927 with OsiMood-Rom.
Today its the second time, that my hardware keyboard behaves a bit strange:
- When I press "e" the Email App opens
- When I press "b" the browser opens
First time I got it "repaired" with a reboot, for now a re-open of the keyboard helped.
What is going on there?
That is not a weird behaviour but a feature. It's called "Quick Launch" and is started by pressing and holding the search button on hw keyboard plus any key in the hw keyboard. the "E" key is the default for email (press "Search" + "E" = Email), you can modify this in settings > applications > quick launch
Thanks, I mentioned that it's something like this but I didn't know what other button activates the shortcut or where to disable it

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Like me, you might be using the "Search" button (either soft/hardware keys) to launch apps a lot.....most of the time, I end up pressing search plus the first character of an app i want to launch that results in pressing the two keys almost at the same time. That is how I accidentally discovered it....
I was like searching the "Email app" then I accidentally pressed the "E" key while the "Search" key is pressed then I went "How did this thing know that I want to launch Email?"
Press your search key again on your keyboard it is stuck. Happened to me once or twice. Quick launch is launching your short cuts that are programmed because it thinks you are hitting a 2 key combination. (Search and E)
messing around with the (how to enable soft touch keys) mod I found how to remap the hardware buttons to my liking... I was able to remap the home button to search and back, but I've found that whatever happens 1 line of code makes the button's 3 functions go with it... when I made it search pressing it brought up search, long pressing it brought up voice search and double pressing did nothing. I even tried making the menu button into home and all it's functions came with it, double pressing the menu button brought up s voice and long pressing it brought the task manager.
I guess my question is this: since the code tells a button what it's called where are the functions of these names stored? I can change the home key "key 172" to "SEARCH" but I haven't been able to find which file figures out what to do when a button labeled "SEARCH" is pressed, double pressed, or held...
I know s voice knows how to edit this file since it has control over double trapping home. and android system knows how to edit it too since every android "including our phone" asks to select a default action when long pressing a "SEARCH" button
my ultimate goal is reconfiguring a button to bring up Google now (which I love) without undoing the original button function (say making double tap home or long pressing menu bring up Google now). I'm also sure others would benefit from knowing how to do this kind of stuff namely people who want a camera button or a search button
any help would be appreciated

Does anyone know of any app or method that would allow me to assign a function to the triple click or press or tap of the hardware home button on my s3?
I've seen some apps that let you change the double tap of the hard keys, but no triple press.
I am currently using cyanogenmod, 10.1.3,but if another rom has this option and that's the only way to get it, I may switch just to try it out.
I have looked all over the place and had no luck finding anything similar.
