I know that originally this should be posted under the development section, but i don't have the access to post there. I want to change what the caps capacitive buttons do. For instance, i want to change the home button so that a long press opens vlingo instead of Google voice search. Is this possible without having to reflash the rom again?

Going from the DInc to GN, I am seriously missing the search soft key.
While some mods enable this, they do not enable a long press to go straight to voice search. Therefore, the only way to voice search, if I don't want to use the Google Search Widget, is to press the search soft key at the bottom, readjust the handset in my hand if I'm only using one hand, and then press the voice search button at the very top of the Search dialogue.
Can someone please make a simple mod that will add the search soft key, but also with the ability to long press it to go straight to voice search?
Many thanks!
Also, if you'd like to see this mod, +1 this thread to keep it on top.
+1 how is this feature missing?!?

I'm running ZYGOT3 1.8 with a 4 button mod and the search button works just like that now

Any way to port a standalone mod so others may enjoy? I've seen a number of threads pop up regarding this.

I'm trying this.. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12133-mod-smooth-keys-modtheme-by-wjd-designs-standardalthtc-versions/page__st__140
****Scratch that. I lost task bar & soft keys... Going to give the rom that is compatible with this a try.
What about long press to start an app of your choice?
Yes that would certainly work. Help, anyone?

I'd like something similar, but I don't have a search icon (don't need it), I'd like to long press on home to get Voice Search.
I know I've seen other posts about this but not a new topic. ICS has very good persistent search. However, I find I NEVER use my search button. Is it possible to re-map the search button to bring up the App Switcher?
The long press on the Home Key is much less convenient and I find half the time I attempt to do it it simply returns me to my Home screen.
Someone mentioned that this mod is available to the Nexus S. Using the Galaxy Nexus I found myself constantly using the App Switcher soft key.
Would anyone else find this extremely useful? Anybody able to take this on?
i'd also find this really useful. i know i can long press the home button but i always end up going back to the launcher and reopening the app.
I asked this in bodi's thread since he seems to have taken on these little mods for us. I link to it when I find it so you can see he's looking at it

I'm actually surprised this isn't a default mod for all these ICS ROMs. Seems like it is a big feature of ICS that isn't fully utilized with our phones. Maybe it isn't a simple mod?
I use my search key, for search. If they defaulted it to this I'd seriously stop using cm9. No joke.

I don't think they should *default* to this (unless maybe if you enable persistent search), but i think it would be a nice option or a mod. For people that use the persistent search it is a bit redundant and I find I switch between apps much more frequently than performing a search. Personally, I would like the option to switch/define what a short (and long) tap on that button performs to either:
1. Normal Search
2. Voice Search
3. App Switcher
btw, I didn't think your post was a joke.
It would be great of cm9 implemented a toggle between search and tasks for people who don't search and do.
Mods for CM9 and AOKP for the Search Button to App Switcher are up.
Check out this thread.

Hello thanks for peeking at this post.
I want to use my capacative buttons in the same way I did on my Galaxy S.
At the moment as there is no dedicated menu button (only the task switcher) a lot of apps - including this XDA app show a bar with three dots and take away from the screen real estate to give me menu options.
Anyone know how I can make the middle button a long press for task manager and use the right button as a menu button (which would hopefully remove this stupid long bar which I find totally stupid and detracts from my enjoyment of this device?
any advice greatly appreciated.

Anyone got a mod that can be done on stock? I dont want to use HTC dev to unlock incase it turns into a duck due to hardware fault (nothing to do with Rom flashing) and it needs to be returned.

Hey guys,
First what a nice forum is XDA! EX-Iphone user here, just bought and rooted+flashed CM10 nightly on my galaxy S3. A couple of bugs for some days, but now everything is working fine.
But there is one more little thing There's any chance to "emulate" or create a "gesture" to replace galaxy S3 home button ? I hate hardware buttons, on iPhone there was a Cydia tweak called Zephyr who alowed me to create screen gestures to perform any action.
and on android ? there's any chance to do that ? something like a gesture from bottom of screen or remap Menu button to something like: Two Taps it works like Home Button, one Tap it shows menu.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english and my lack ok knowledge on Android world. I just arrived :good:
possible if you flash the (older) nexus JB rom, that's the only time I came across software home button

Thanks for answer friend, but i found a way. Look at this post:

It gives a complete solution for what i was asking. It's amazing.
Hello,
I search for this but to no avail. I'm hoping somebody can help me with this. I want to customize my phone so that if I long press the Menu key it will launch the Google Voice Search. Not Google now, but Google Voice Search directly. That extra step of hitting the mike is annoying as I use voice search frequently.
This is how I had my evo 4g setup except it was long pressing the search key. I use this function very very often and so Im hoping somebody will help me out. I'm currently using GO Launcher EX. I'm rooted on a touch wiz rom. Making this work with a long press on the home button would be great too.
Thank you!
