yes I'm rooted, so you can send me this zip for cwm
I apprecciate for your helping

If you are on gingerbread, this should work just fine.
Your back button will = search.
Search will = Back.

Thanks a lot! Can I apply this for ICS? I can install Gingerbread but now I'm testing ICS roms

but the search is mapped like back and it's grate!

Glad i could help!

Any chance you have a flashable zip to remap longpress home to shortpress search? Essentially I want to get running apps to come up from tapping search key.

Hi Peter Good post .. So useful ....[Little O.T.]... Why not release an hybrid miui from you and delano's version? Your miui uses less ram but delano's rom is nearly full working ... So .. why not found a tem like GioMIuI or something else [/O.T.]

Remap search button to power button

Requirements:
Rooted Xperia ION
Root Explorer (or any similar app)
NOTE:
Always make backup in case you mess up the file.
And I'm not responsible on whatever happens to your device.
Instruction:
Open Root Explorer
Go to /system/usr/keylayout
Set the folder as "Mounted as r/w"
Look for clearpad.kl
Open with any text editor
Look for "key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL" (without the quote)
And change it to "key 217 POWER VIRTUAL" (without the quote)
Save and exit
Reboot your phone
And your search button is now like the power button
I've only tested this on GB 2.3.7-6.0.F.0.111 I'm not sure if this will work with other version.
Also with this modification you can lock your device but to unlock it you still have to use the power button.
Hitting the thanks button and leaving a reply is much appreciated =D

Thanks dude!
It works perfectly on ICS.
Another trick that saves our power button

So this means that its only active when screen is unlocked. And when locked no battery drain from capacitive button always being monitored.
Am I thinking right?

thats a nice share, really appreciate your thought for sharing it here

one drawback is that the touch vibration and sound is not getting turned off for those buttons...

Oh man
you are lucky
I found a method to do it
navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
put a hash tag in front of the lines
key 139 menu
key 158 back
so they will look like
#key 139 menu
#key 158 back
save and reboot
Cheers

Thanks man worked great.

[Q] Home button wake

Hey guys. Is there any fix or mod for making the home button on your s3 wake the device without closing the app that was open before the screen turned off. I am really used to turning on my screen from the home button (used to work on ICS) and now (JB) everytime the screen turns off and i try to wake it with the home button, I go back to the homescreen.
Please help !! thanks
UPDATE:
So the 2 solutions that worked for me either to have s-voice enabled or #&[email protected] s-voice and install jkay framework which has a built in fix

hmmm ill give it a try, ive tried omega rom and wanamlite, but both dont have this feature
is Sotmax V8 good as these roms or not in your opinion? thanks

or just go to Svoice setting and enable "launch Svoice by double pressing home button"

on 4.1.2 it do the right way.. you press homescreen,unlock and you are in the open app..

svoice introduces a bit of lag using the home button. In ICS there was a fix for that

Works great! so nice! Thanks a lot!

I tried editing the Generic keyboard layout with ES note editor.
Added WAKE on key 172.
Seems to work but after a restart my menu and back keys don't work.
I just added WAKE didn't touch anything else.
Seems I'll need the Original file.
EDIT:
Fixed permissions and works great.
Thanks.

mispost

i did something little different. even after adding wake at key 172 and fixing permissions it takes me to the home screen rather than waking up the device only. i added this :
key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
after doing this, re started my phone. works like a charm! :angel:
