[Q] remapping long press function? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Used button remapper to make home button become red button (end call), spare parts to change function to act like home button when not in call. Now my question is, is there any way of changing long press of end call (my home button) to open up last accessed apps list like the regular home button would. Right now long press opens up same dialog as long press of power button...not really useful.

Maximum Button Assignment to the FUZE

Hi everyone long time viewer of these awesome forums.
Does anyone know how to remap the Home(house looking) button and the back key on the fuze. I found how to reassign the PTT and Long PTT along with the Long end and long call key(bottom left on the front). I mean this fuze is a beast but needs more buttons. I want to reassign the Long home key to the start menu. I cant find it if it even exists

Button assignment

Howdy, i am looking for a way to add more button assignments in the list, currently i only have the call button, when held down it rotates screen, doesnt seem to be a method to add more thinghs, like hold down back key, home key and volume keys?
(end key brings up some menu for putting phone in plane mode etc (not really useful as can do that in comms manager / turn off phone on a plane. so changing that to a better assigment would also be neat cheers.
hello all.
using this post:
is it possible to assign other functions to the button off volume control?
for example: scrool up/down?
There are many programs out there that address this. Search for button mapper, assign button, remap, etc.
Some obvious ones are AEButton Plus, MobileMagic...

remapping long press home button

Hello All,
I've conceded the fact that the phantom presses from capacitive buttons occur and cannot be stopped so I rooted my device (and commented the use of the search and menu button to be benign / vestigial). I am realizing home much I need to use the menu button. I attempted to use a program that put up a on screen menu but I just disliked it. I also to use launch key, but it only impact the long press of the search button which is already turned off.
Is there anyway to remap the longpress of home to act as a menu button?
Best,
Norman

hardware button long press remapping

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

How to map long press for Kodi?

Long story short I have an add-on that you have to long press the select button to bring up alternate sources and it doesn't work for me using a kodi remote. I have to use Yatste on my cell phone and hold the middle select button for 3 secs which is annoying to have to grab my phone everytime i want to bring up alternate sources.
What is the command to map long press the select button?
Thanks
