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:

Hi,
I made a app called Task Changer that works Ok at gingerbread and cm7. It has an option to root users to go_back and show menu emulating key press.
I have a nexus S and I've put a rom with ICS and that options don't work at this rom launching an exception for a not found class.
I wonder if this error is for this rom or for official release.
If you have a galaxy Nexus rooted, please try this and give me feedback about go_back action.
Thank you all!
Hi Pacosal,
I am using your Task Changer app on my CM7 HP Touchpad.
Its a great app and I would be happy to test it for you. I am getting my Galaxy Nexus on Saturday (in two days) - so once I have rooted it, I will test and let you know.
Cheers

Forgive my ignorance, but within ICS, can't you just switch task very easy with that "window" button (right side button) at the bottom?

Hi pacosal.
I have got my nexus and rooted it and i can confirm that thr go bavk and menu options are not working for me. When i set the swipe to either of these, i am given the option to allow superuser access which obviously i accept. However the swipes then do not actually do anything. I get the message at the top saying what the swipe should have done - however nothing actually happens.
The rest of the app and the other functions all seem to be working great.
Hope this helps :]
The backlit "search" button on the lower right of the t989 screen gives me no end of trouble. Several times a day, I'll accidentally press it with my palm while doing any number of other things. This interrupts whatever I'm actually up to and always causes me have to start over in, for example, the middle of a long forum post.
What I'm looking for is some way to disable that particular key. Is there an app for that? Or some other hack?
Thanks,

I recently installed CM 9.1 on my T989. Searches during the last few days have revealed 9.1 as the most recent stable CM for this phone, and "hardware keys" isn't anywhere in these settings that I can see. What's the trick here? From what I can tell, CM10 isn't available for the T989. How new do I need?
It is most certainly available.

Flashed attached zip via recovery. This will disable JUST the search key.

That zip file did the trick. Thanks everyone, and especially Elsbb for the simplicity.

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.

hi everybody,
i didn't find anywhere an answer to this:
is it possible to wake up the screen of the N7100 with the volume button?
i can't find mods or apps that have this function.
Why do you need it? There are already 2 buttons to wake it. No enough yet?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Haha, I had this mod on my Desire HD and it was great but I see absolutely no use for it on Note 2.
As Arsaw says, there are already two buttons you can use :good:
thanks for the answers.
i know there are already 2 buttons, but when i use the phone with left hand i find easier to wake it up with volume button.
i understand it's not a priority for developers, anyway if there will be, i will be glad
Third party lock screen replacement in the market like widget locker have that option if I'm not mistaken.
I always liked this feature with AOKP on my Gnex and I do miss it on the Note.
Edit: installed Widgetlocker. Seems the Note will not unlock via volume keys. Pity!

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324710
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.
