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

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
As you are probably aware, double tapping the home button will launch S Voice on the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, Samsung did not include a way to re-assign this button for a different function if you don't fancy the S Voice app. Instead, all they did was give you a way to disable the hone button double tap. Well here is a way for you to re-assign the home button double tap without the need for any rooting or modding at all.
Step 1) Go into the S Voice settings and uncheck the Launch SVoice box. This will keep S Voice from launching when you double tap the home button.
Step 2) Install Home2 Shortcut from the Play Store
Step 3) Open Home2 Shortcut and configure it to launch the app of your choosing with a double tap of the home button. The app is pretty self explanatory and setting it up will be pretty straight forward. NOTE: When you get to the end, after you tap "close" it will ask you to set as default. Select Home2Launcher as the default.
Hope this helps anyone who didn't know how to do this. I am currently running CM10, and am using this to launch Google Now with a double tap of the home button.
Nice find! Is there a tho when single pressing?
Can we configure it to launch the multitasking menu? I don't like holding down the home button.

Does the home button still lag when you assigned the double tap

Any idea how to assign double tap to Google voice search, like it was available on other phones on holding search key?

Seems to be Voice Search is not showing as application by default on GS3. You have to uninstall it using Titanium Backup and then install it from Market. This will put shortcut where it belongs and you would be able to assign it to double tap Home key.
If you have Apex Launcher, you can go to Apex Settings>"Behavior settings" and scroll down to gesture settings and you can configure one of the gestures to open up recent apps. I chose swipe down. It's not a fix for when you're in an app, but its better than pressing the home button twice or holding it down when you're on a homescreen. You can also configure the home button to open the Recent Apps dialog if you're already on your default homescreen.

I haven't observed any difference in the home key from applying this.

There is a paid app called Multitask Shortcut which is an app that open the multitasking menu. So, if you combine that with this app like I have, then yes you can assign the double tap to multitask.

Yes, home button lag is present sadly.

Button Savior is pretty cool. You can just swipe from left to right or vice versa and a string of soft keys appear (Home, recent apps, back, etc). Very nice app and I hardly press my home button anymore

could you be any more vague?
Ever since installing the Google Now mod OR removing some APKs as per the S3 apk guide, double tapping does not launch S-Voice...
Which is frustrating when trying to make a call from my car....Voice cmd for apps is enabled in settings, as well as the double tap setting within S-voice.

Is this the only way to get Voice Search working? I'm trying very hard to not root this thing, but I need a quick way to launch Voice Search.
Sad that threads like these will no longer be easily visible to users on multiple carriers due to the splitting of forums... Thanks OP!
This is awesome, thank you. The one feature I missed most from my custom GS2 ROM.

Is there a way to change these buttons in Touchwiz? Say I want the Home button to open Google Now instead of S Voice. I'm using CM10 and you can do all kinds of customizations.

I just found an app called Home 2 Shortcut that seems to fix this, albeit only for the home button.
Is there anyway to replace the S Voice app with Google voice with the use of the home button? As in could I make the shortcut of double clicking the home button go to Google app instead of S voice?
You 'could,' in that you re-map the code on the button on the 'ondbclick' execution, though it'd take a tiny bit of work.

There is actually a way to do this with a think Nova launcher? I'ts one of those launchers..I don't even use them. But I've seen it some where.
What he said... I have it and it's AWESOME... Home button twice brings up quick desk home and menu brings up Google now and home and back brings up the camera. How wickedly cool is that!
