I have searched thru the forums and I have did a few Google searches. I cant find any information anywhere on how to turn the Soft key back lights off in AOKP. I have went to settings>Display and Custom options and the menu where you can change the number value of the screen and buttons, I turn all the value of the buttons to 0 and hit save and apply. Get out of the setting and get back into it and everything has been reset even after a few reboots..
This use to work a few milestones back but not anymore. Anyone found out how to do this on the latest build. Thank you.

This is how I did mine and it works great.... long press on home screen
Shortcuts-activities-galaxy SII options...from there uncheck backlight keys.... than i downloaded button remapper from the market and changed all my keys functions and set them as "focus" so as long as ur not in the camera app they do nothing so only the softkeys work and u don't hit the turned off home key or something by accident....
Button remapper wasn't in the play store but sure where I got it lol but its the app I used....maybe got it of off 4shared idk anyways here it is if anyone wants it

That worked like a charm. Thanks. I have seen the same settings in cm9 but I can get to them thru settings. Thank you for that tip.

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?
Coming from SGS II where one touch brings you back to the home page, now with the new SGS III a physical home button replaces the touch home button which is driving me crazy, I am sure others feel the same, anybody out there that found an app that will replace the home button please share it with us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After downloading a bunch of apps and trying them finally found one that works, it's called (Virtual Button Bar) available in trial or paid versions, if you have found an app that works just like the physical home button please share.

Replace it with what? All you have to do is edit /system/usr/keylayout/sec-keys.kl and map the home button to camera search or whatever else you may want

Thanks for the info, but can you explain how to map the home button to any other function step by step, basically I like the calculator app to have the same function as the home button, thanks in advance.

Ah that you can't do in android. (That I'm aware of) I used to do this on my windows mobile phone. You can only change it to like a different function button.

Yes. You can add up to 5 and assign them to whatever you like. You can also assign app or actions to the long press option so total max is 10 different apps or actions
Check out Home2 Shortcut in play store. Not sure if itll do exactly what you want but may help.

is there a way to make Google now voice search the default app for double clicking the home button instead of s voice? I tried clearing s voice default but it didn't have any. I tried disabling it but then Google dialer stepped up and I couldn't find it in the apps menu...
I don't like s voice because it doesn't understand my accent and it can't do some things...

Use a different launcher such as Nova. You can change the home button and menu button. I have my Menu button set as Google now voice search when i long hold the button. The home button if i long hold i have it set just to do regular Google now search.
nova settings > gestures and buttons

Set that as your default launcher, then set whatever you want for single and double home presses within Home2.

I don't even bother with this. If I want GNow, I just long press the menu button and tap "G". Two taps instead of one. Whoopty doo.

You still need to turn off the option in S Voice so it's not listening for the double tap.

I assume you mean me by "the other guy" I just read my comment and I realized that I made a mistake.
Of course I meant "long press HOME" button.
My bad. Sorry.

Completely replace the voice!
I read all your comments you guys. But what I think what he means is that he wants to completely replace the actual voice in the Svoice stock app that came with the phone to the voice that Google now has. The way I have it is to do nothing when double pressing the home button. Since the 4.1.1 update dropped for all S3's, it came with Google now installed with the Google search bar widget. Well, I was wondering the same thing on how to remove the voice from S voice, and replace it with Google now's voice. Cuz I really don't like the custom voice integrated with with the s voice app. I like Google now's voice way better. And it sounds more human-like than than the "so called" Siri and S voice put together. If anybody knows how to do this, post your instructions! Cheers!

I've solved it since. I have one of two ways to do this.
1. disable svoice's double tap home to open from I'd settings, then instal home 2 shortcut from the app store. this did it for me, however I like the second one better
2. I also needed an easier way to use the buttons with the s pen like home and back so I enabled on screen keys and modified the key layout to disable menu and back hardware keys and made the home key a search key. now I have home, back, menu and recent apps buttons on screen and the home button is a regular search so when I long press it I get ASKED! What voice program I want it to handle...
hope this helps

Google Search can't open apps nor send messages. What if you're cooking and u wanna be hands free? That's why I stick with svoice. But I don't like her voice. Can u replace the VOICE instead of just button pressing?

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:

There are apps that use the proximity sensor to control music controls or even unlock the phone from one. Type on proximity or something and they should pop up, I know this is not what you are looking for but could be an option for now

There are some mods which let you reprogram your home button. You should check out Xposed framework. Also, you could go for a virtual bar which emulates home, menu and back button. There is a very nice app which is called something like "dynamic app bar" in the play store. Maybe you could use that app to create a special button for music controls.
