I have little use for the search button. rather than long hold home in cm7 I'd rather press the search button to do think instead...any suggestions?
Try perfect task switcher in the market. It even gives a an screen shot of what's running. Kinda like in honeycomb. And you can map it to the search button using their settings. Its a long hold of the search button tho.

thanks but I'm looking to not hold anything to bring up the recent apps list. I'm sure many of us use it frequently so it'll just be an extra of productivity to just press than long press

is there a way to remap the keys on the evo 4g i would really love to be able to push a hardware button to bring up the dialer i am hoping there is a flashable zip or something to get this to work??
I know in the newer CM7 builds you can set long press settings for the capative buttons, like ths search key and menu key, and set it to launch whatever app you want.
I am more or less looking for a dedicated call button I know if you long press home button thank brings up recent apps

Hi,
I use the menu key a whole lot more than multi task. How hard would it be to remap the multi task key to act like a menu key? Is it even possible?

If the apps is according to the new ICS look, Holo I think the theme is called, then the menu button is on the top right of the screen.
Seems to me it would be a hassle to press a button on the bottom right and then move youre finger to the top right to actually use the menu.
On apps not yet fitted for ICS I can understand what u mean, however this problem should hopefully be almost gone within not too long.
Would love to remap the useless.most recent programs button to act as a google search button, much like a long press on menu on my s2 does...
There are several threads about this. Here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480130
I just got my One X, so haven't tried anything myself.
But being able switch songs with the volume buttons while locked is what I'm looking for.
A must when you're outside in heavy rain or snow.
Is there any way to repurpose holding the home button on CM9? It does bring up the app switcher but there's already a dedicated button for that, so it's quite useless. I'd prefer having it open voice search or go to drawer.
Not on CM9 there isn't.. there is a way on liquid and AOKP.

Or you could remove the latest app button and put search button instead(which long press well being up voice). Oh, and this is with CM9

Don't really know why this app was never mentioned here.
I know it from my Archos 70 times.
To know what it does its best you look in the play store for it, but I want to tell you for what only reason I use it.
You can have shown all buttons you would have as hardware buttons, but that's not the point.
If you use the pro version you can edit and reorder those buttons, and that's what I did.
I choose only one button and that was the menu button, when only one button is mapped it directly uses that instead of expanding than I put the icon to the lowest right corner., and there you have the menu button, now you can use recent apps button like intended without having to map it to long press or something else.
Sure you can do the it with the recent apps button instead, whatever you prefer or use more frequently. Will try it the next days and see if it's practical in daily use.
You can see the button in the picture attached, you can set 3 sizes, for now I try biggest, that's what you see on the pic. I don't think it's interfering in use because it's totally in the corner which u don't use that much.
This way you get the speed of the recent apps button with the comfort of having a menu button
Let me know what you think of it

"Squeeze control" if u know wat I mean. But back to on-topic, u know that u can have recent apps and menu at the same time in one button? Look for it in tweaks.

Yes but only with long press that's to slow and uncomfortable sometimes.

Couldn't find anything about this anywhere, so I'm starting a new thread.
Is there a way to remap what application loads when long-pressing the home soft-key? I've remapped what app loads when holding the volume-up key with the screen-off, but I'm looking to have a specific application run when holding the home button soft key, instead of the default "google" option that appears when doing it on the stock ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as would the monitors moving this thread to its proper location if it should belong somewhere else :good:
We'll need root.
I wish OEMs would include this level of customization by default. I wouldn't mind having my home button long press either launch my camera or the App Swap app and have my recent button long press switch to the last app.

Thank you. I was hoping there might be a workaround (like KeyPlus) or an app like Home2Shortcut which I used on my SGS5 to accomplish that change. Oh well. Guess I'll just keep doing what I've been doing: patiently waiting for root to drop whenever the dev's involved feel it's ready! Thanks for the quick reply!
