[Q] Any tools to remap/assign hardkeys to launch an app? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, after searching in the forum, i don see any tools or apps which can remap/assign hardkeys to launch an app. What i see is only the button remapper, which only remap the button to do normal function like camera, end, etc....Is there any apps or tools that can assign or remap our DHD hardkeys to launch an app, just like the Windows AE button plus. Tx!

Hmm I'm not too sure about this but the CM7 Rom does have options to change the functionalities of the home, menu and search buttons.

Yeah cyanogen has this function. I haven't seen it on sense roms but there may be one out there.

If so it would be cool of some one to share with us.

Configuring hardware keys

Hi!
I've found that using search to launch applications is much more hasslefree than setting up icons etc....
Only small annoyance is that I have to first press the home button - then the search.
If I could somehow configure the phone so that a longpress on the hardware search button would go into global search (rather than the current-app search) it would be great.
How can I do this? Is there an app that lets you map the keys?
Hello,
I would like to have the search and back hardware key exchanged.
By the way i never had used the search button.

Stock Desire HD Keyboard

Hi,
Installed a MIUI rom but obviously no longer have the default HTC keyboard. Is there any way to get this back? I kind of need the arrows to move the cursor around as there is no trackpad on the HD.. I'm guesing there's no way to get the thing where you press and hold the screen to get a magnified view of the text and cursor?
There's loads of keyboards on tjr market with directional keys but if you are keen on htcs then there is an install apk floating about .....HTC.ime or something or other ... should be on these forums somewhere give the search a go

[Q] Map Long Press Home to Google Search / Now

I'd like to know if there is a way to map the a long press of the Home key to launch Google Now (or Google Search if you haven't flashed Google Now)?
Something similar to the previous mod that maps the menu option to the Recent Apps key and removes the 3 dot menu bar.
Apologies if this already exists, a search of the forum didn't turn up anything.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That option is available in many ROMs, for example ViperX or ParanoidAndroid.

Thanks. I've installed Android Revolution HD which comes with CD Suite Tools. This enabled re-mapping of all the hardware keys including long pressing the Home button to activate "Voice Search" which, if you flash the Google Now zip will be replaced by Google Now. This also lets me re-map the Recent Apps key to the menu function and removes the 3 dot menu bar. Excellent.

Capacitive menu button

Hi I do not have a one X but I was wondering would it be possible to change the multi-task capacitive button to a back button on a single touch and on a long press multi-task? And also disable the in-app on-screen ones that are also when using the keyboard? I have seen buttons switched by developers before so I was just was wondering and wanted to share.

Yeahp , you can change it with android 4.0.4 + HTC Sense 4.1 in the settings

[Q] Blade Rom On Screen Menu Buttons

Hi guys, just installed Blade ROM 4.6 last night and I've noticed something wierd with the onscreen menu buttons. They don't seem to appear in most apps even when I don't have a hardware key mapped to that function. Its quite a small thing but I was wondering if there's a way to restore the stock behaviour of them actually appearing (like the the top right of chrome all I get is the switch tabs button no menus button).
Cheers
