[Q] Customizing Buttons (Menu, Home, Back, Search, and Lock) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to change what the buttons do. For instance, I want to be able to customize what happens if I double press the home key, or hold the back key, or double press the lock key. I was thinking that there would be an app for this but I couldn't find one. The app i was looking for should be similar to the "activator" Cydia app for iOS (iCrap). Does this exist? Or is there another way I can change what they do?
Thanks in advance.

There should be something like that in cm7 (had custom button actions on my mytouch slide before on cm7). But cm7 isn't so good for this phone yet

Try button remapper from market. It allows you to edit what you use buttons for, both long and short press.
Why do you want to get rid of the power options?

[Q] After flashing new ROM Home button can no longer go home

Howdy!
First post and it appears I'm "one of those" that's begging for help.
I flashed a new ROM today - CleanGB - and it works great, with one exception. The home button doesn't work.
I installed the "Button ReMapper" app and still can't get the home button to take me home. But I can make the home button do other functions, such as menu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Reflash it.. or flash an alternative kernel I've had this issue before and usually reflashing will fix it.

Disabling the hardware menu and back button.

Is it possible to disable the menu and back button and install software key buttons like the nexus?

I just turned off the lights so I can't see them. And with AOKP or paranoid android they have the option for soft keys. Its nice because you can add a search key. I really missed that.

Yeah I've had the evo, the evo 3d and the epic 4g touch... They have always had the search key, was pissed that all the new phones have gone away from it

If you edit the key layout after applying the on-screen 'buttons', you should be able to disable them.
I'm running the LIH leak with the navigation buttons.

Switch softkey

Hi
Im a left hand user and usually i find it very tough reaching the return soft key on the right.
Is their a way to switch the menu softkey and return softkey?

this is an option in Paranoid Android and AOKP.
i think there was a root app too which made this happen sorry for being unhelpful, but i dont know the name of the app
Still unable to do it with AOKP build - Ressurrection
a workaround if you are rooted is to use button savior or virtual button bar

Hardware key mapping.

Hey everyone! I've been looking on how to change my hardware keys. As in I would like to get rid of my navigation bar, which I know how to, and make my power button the home key. Or maybe something like one press goes home and then maybe a double tap would shut the screen off. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

The easiest way is probably to use a Custom rom which supports hardware key remapping like this one:

You also can use Zip Themer. like here:

Now I seen the key mapping feature in du. However I can't make the lock button go to home.
