I'm curious to know, since the galaxy nexus doesnt have contextual menu button, how will we change the settings? i dont think we're gonna see 20.000 apps adapted on the launch day, they should be releasing their updates as i post this :/ , maybe we'll have to install honeycomb apps?
cmon, please read the other threads. There are several asking this exact same question, some of which are on the first page still!
When running legacy apps, the menu button appears in the bottom next to the multi-tasking button, just like it works on honeycomb.
Question answered and to avoid further flaming, thread closed.
Mark.

I think it`s very useful to show other stuff instead of recent apps only. I can adjust brightness and sound volumn on an ipad. any suggested apps for customizing the home key behaviour?
Install a decent launcher like LauncherPro then you can have it open whatever you want.
Not long-press, it's a core OS function.
@theOP: you may not be able to change the function of a long-press like iOS but, unlike iOS, you can change the function of a short-press, so it kinda evens out.
google should have open it to other apps for replacing or adding new stuff, just like the home screen....
Hi,
I dont like opening older posts, but better than post another new one...
So I undestood, that a home long-press is not possible to redirect as another button (e.g. Search) or to execute some bash scripts?
I am still looking for some task switcher on hw button dependend and with posibility to call it from everywhere (all tas managers using search button, which is not present on X10i). Currently I am using PreHome with home doubleclick, but it is not so good as long press could be...
Or - one question - is it possible to redirect long press on Back button? I Know, that on Camera is this possible...

U are also interested in this function?
But not sure if opening thousands of topics like this could tell google to do some changes in coding...

I think what XperienceD want to say, he like the idea of opening old threads instead of opening new threads...If everyone did that we would not have 500 thousand "my battery is at 0%" threads.
Hi I`d like to reopen this topis
Tomorow I found, that Cyanogenmod ROM`s are able to do this natively!
Anyone using any of these ROM?
I am trying to find out what is this button menu related to migrate this function
hi,
I'm using MIUI latest version(1.9.2) and I have a problem, when I press the search button the keyboard doesn't pop up automatically, like it used to do on previous versions(before 1.8.26). if I want the keyboard to appear I press long press on menu, touch the search bar or slide left(to last application opened) and right again to the search and then it pops up by itseft..
someone is familiar with it? any solution?
thank you.
Try asking in a MIUI thread instead.
Yes, i'm running MIUI too, and i also have the same problem, but it doesn't bother me.
yeah, but posting less the 10 posts makes you a n00b(which I'm not), thus you are less of a man, thus you have no rights, thus you can't post things on development section.
but three more messages and I'll be considered as an experienced user..hooray for me.
Ok so it appears that ALOT of people came from the OG Droid to the GNex.
Just wanted to see if there was any more interest out there for the softkeys to be the same as first used on the OG Droid.
I know there are other Devs working on this, PaulB....etc..
I rarely used the Search on my Droid (actually cant remember ever using it, but anyway.) But I used Back Arrow all the time. Like it on the far LEFT. Then Menu, and then Home. Multi Task can be removed as well.
If anyone else feels this way, feel free to reply.
Oh and if Im posting in the wrong , place, please move. Thanks.
dude.. we just get this development forum opened and THIS is the first thread created? c'mon this has nothing to do with development. If you're looking to judge people's interest in something consider starting in the general or q and a section if you're going to start a thread or better yet, posting in the relevant thread, which you referenced would be a good idea.
Nice request but you willget much better results posting in the right sectiom
My bad for posting in the wrong place. CDMA Development specific forum looked like the right place. Besides like you said, nothing else was posted. I now know that you were just starting up the new area.
Thanks for moving to the right place.
Now with that out of the way,
What is everyones thoughts?
This would be AMAZING!
So hang on a second, you want to remove a major feature of Android 4.0, the multi-tasking menu and replace it with a search button that can also be accessed from the top of the screen AND that you said your self you have NEVER used.... excuse me but your logic does not seem sane... Why would you not just leave the multi-tasking button and just put it in the place of the search button...
No. I think you misread my post.
I like the button arrangement on the Droid. I don't like how the menu/settings button or dots now are never in the same place on 4.0. It depends on the app as to its placement . Pretty silly in my opinion. I like the soft key idea ALOT, just not the new arrangement.
And I said you could take the SEARCH key off as I never use it. Menu/settings key is the one I would like to see on the bottom always. Heck exchanging the multi task key for menu/settings would be cool as well.
I could probably get used to the multi task once I use it some. Still trying to break old habits of pushing home or back.

I hink its a great idea. Id suggest that you allow the search button to still be available with side dots but the back, menu, home and recents apps with OGD buttons icons would be awaeome. I hope i get to flash this in the very near future
I like the idea. What would be even better is if we were able to just change the icons and what they do. A lot like you would do with a app launcher.
I'm looking into developing an app that adds a current-app-restart function for force-quitting the current app with focus and then restarting it. But, I want to add it to the Navigation Bar in ICS (requiring root would be fine) but I can't seem to find anywhere that talks about creating an app that inserts a button into the nav bar. If it is possible, will it have to be manually started via a regular app link or can it register itself with the OS? Either way is fine; the latter preferable, of course. The app logic itself is no problem, it's the adding a nav button I need help with.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction for documentation? Is it possible without recompiling the rom? Thanks for the help.
As much as I want to help you, I know almost nothing. I do know you're in the wrong section though. Try the Q&A. And when you do make this, you could post it here, or maybe themes and apps if its an app.

hmm.. figured android development would be the place to go for android development. I'll post in the other forum and if I find something I'll post back.

Here the mods/users prefer to see a work in progress or a finished product. Sorry

What's ICS?
Since you'd have to edit code, it cannot be done without decompiling/recompiling. Edits in both SystemUI.apk and frameworkres.apk, but I wouldn't even begin to know what xml's and other edits would be involved.
Plus, I think you've got this posted in the wrong thread friend. Should be in general.

Seriously? You say general, the other guy said Q&A. gd this forum is confusing...
I'm not looking to edit the OS, I'm looking to create an app that adds a button to the nav bar. If that's not possible, I guess I'll abandon the whole idea because I don't want to have to recompile my current ROM everytime it gets updated :/

If you are asking a question then Q&A seems like a good fit. If you are making a statement or giving info then general is usually the correct place...
The simplest thing to remember though if there is nothing released or developed then the development section is most definitely not the correct place to be in.
This section is the place where the users have no mercy. You can get away with the other sections a whole lot easier. Oh, and then there is the apps and then section where you will find some mod as well.
How that helps...
It cannot be done with vanilla ICS... You'd have to customise the navigation bar code to do what you want... AOKP has the ability to add any app shortcut to the navigation bar... You could use that as a reference...
I figured Q&A would be for android questions, general for conversation, and development for development. As I'm looking to "develop" an app, it seemed reasonable.
Oh well, I posted in the Q&A forum. Thanks for the help, I'll get it down eventually.
The guide on this post should help get started. I don't know if you can insert references to an external app as it looks like the entries tie into the resources in the navbar itself. Anyways have a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743979
Also as others have stated, questions (even having to do with development) belong in the Q&A section. There's also a separate xda section for help developing apps which would probably be a prime place to start as they would know more about general ICS things such as nav button editing.
Don't know how to write it but to me with root access it would seem like every time you wanted to change a nav bar button it would need to place the apk into the system which normally if you run adb push Systemui.apk to your phone it usually force closes the systemui and will either restart after pushing or need a reboot to take effect. I don't know of a way to push images or xml changes to a apk without pushing a whole apk in example I don't think you can do this
adb push battery_charge.xml /system/app/Systemui.apk/drawables/battery_charge.xml I would look into how t mobile theme chooser is written that allows things like that to happen should be a pretty good start.

Thanks! I'll take a look
Hi All,
In CM9 for the Epic 4g (non-touch) I was able to use the Nova launcher's activities widget to gain access to the Quick Launch feature for Android installs with a hardware keyboard (to assign Search Key + [a-z/0-9] to launch an application) and it worked great (after figuring out how to get to the Quick Launch settings screen!).
In CM 10.1 I can use the same method to change the Quick LAunch settings, but no matter what key I assign an application, when I press the corresponding SearchKey + [a-z/0-9] the standard "Google Search" comes up. It is the same behavior as if only the Search Key alone is pressed. Has anyone tried to get QL working successfully?
Looking forward to your responses, thanks for reading.
I don't want to bump this topic, I know it's better suited under the developer's thread in the Developer's section, but I can't post there until I have 10 posts. Oh the tragedy.
Can anyone be kind enough to relay this question on that thread in the Dev forum?

Thank you very much! I'll keep up with that thread and will post the answer if I find it.
You may get it to work by changing the "Settings->System->Hardware Keys" and Enabling custom actions, setting the search key to In-app Search or no action.
