hi this is my first post. I know how to change the touch menu key to do something else, however how do I re map the functionality of the long press home button? I want to make it so that long press home key gives menu, and the menu key is recent apps. Is this possible?

You can't change it on stock TW Launcher. You would need a new launcher or the app mentioned in post #3

It seems like HTC Sense doesn't give an option to configure LWP's. I'm on Sense 2.1 and I know this LWP i'm using can be configured, but there isn't an option for that. Does anyone know how to find a way to configure it?
Hit the menu button and select preferences.

When you are setting the live wallpaper (the preview of the live wallpaper), press the menu button to display an option button for settings.

Is there anyway someone could make a mod that makes the search button into a multi task shortcut like in ICS. Like hold it down brings up the multi task but just tap it and its a normal search button

Hi,
I have been looking for a way to assign a custom app to launch when I press the search nav key. In my case, I want to bring up the google search (in all apps and not just the home screen).
The best I could find was long pressing the search key which introduces a delay that I don't like.
Since I lack the knowledge to do this myself, I was wondering if one of you awesome developers could put together something.
I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

nope that's for holding (long pressing) the search key. that's a standard ics function. there is even an app in the market that allows you to launch any app when you long press the search key.
This may be a stupid question but how do you manage the screens?, I'm trying g to have just one screen and delete the rest but I can't seem to find where I would be able to do that

You mean the number of home screens? Just use Nova launcher to edit to your preference

I was thinking that, but when using the navigational bar tweak, and you press the home button in it, it switches back to the default luncher and not nova, the ROM doesn't come with a default screen manager?

Press the menu button and then Manage apps. Go to All then scroll down to Launcher and select that. Once in there go down to Clear Defaults and select that. Press the home button then you'll be prompted to choose a default launcher, choose Nova. Done. When you start with a freshly installed ROM you have a choice of the stock launcher or Nova. The stock launcher doesn't have any customization, that's what you chose

If you are using the STOCK rom then it's not easy to change the action of the long press home button.
But by flashing many of these custom roms available here in this Tmobile S3 forum you will find many
custom roms which have options and features which allow you to change the action of the home button.
nova launcher or other launchers is a way too.
i mean how can i change the action when i hold the menu button to CLOSE an app.
im on wicked rom
You should be more specific than, look in the mods list of stuff around the forums. Might be available in the rom already. Did you look in the OP and see if it is an option? I don't see why it wouldn't be. Search in the thread, you have enough post to ask there and get chewed out instead of asking such a vague question in a whole new thread...
