Possible to add a full size menu button to ICS?

Is it possible to add a full size menu button much like the search button was added. I tried ICS on an older phone and the menu button seemed to work in even the native apps. I hate the look of the dot one that comes up in stock ics and with the mod to make it appear all the time. Ideal for me would be to make the button layout identical to my droid incredible. So home, menu, back, and search. Hold home down for the app switch. Hold menu for keyboard. Hold search for voice search. This has to be possible somehow since its all software keys now.

[Q] possible to remap hard keys?

Hi,
I use the menu key a whole lot more than multi task. How hard would it be to remap the multi task key to act like a menu key? Is it even possible?

If the apps is according to the new ICS look, Holo I think the theme is called, then the menu button is on the top right of the screen.
Seems to me it would be a hassle to press a button on the bottom right and then move youre finger to the top right to actually use the menu.
On apps not yet fitted for ICS I can understand what u mean, however this problem should hopefully be almost gone within not too long.

Would love to remap the useless.most recent programs button to act as a google search button, much like a long press on menu on my s2 does...

There are several threads about this. Here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480130
I just got my One X, so haven't tried anything myself.
But being able switch songs with the volume buttons while locked is what I'm looking for.
A must when you're outside in heavy rain or snow.

[Q] different mod for ICS dot menu

hi guys,
On the development page is a really good mod which removes the ugly ICS dot menu button and replace it by long pressing the home button.
I really hate the dot buttton but what I don't like is that with this mod the multitask button is now relocated to long pressing the home button, because I'm very used to the multitask button being on it's original place.
So is there someone who can remove the ICS dot menu button and relocate is to long pressing the home button? (just switch the buttons from the original mod)
The orginal Mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506

Doesn't update 3 give you what you want?

Remap the S3 hardware buttons?

Main thing is I want to make the left hardware button (defaults to menu) to be the BACK button. I hold the phone in my left hand and find it difficult to hit the back button one-handed. Having it on the left (which also makes more logical sense as its a back button and all) would make it perfect
Im running CM10 and I have remapped the menu button to be multitask however I dont see any option concerning the back button. Is there a mod I can apply to make this work?
Thanks all

Since you're running CM10, why don't you ask this question in the specific ROM thread? I don't know the answer to your specific question but with Task's AOKP ROM, I added a nav bar at the bottom of the screen (soft buttons) that allow me to configure the bar to whatever functions I want (to a certain extent).

U can get the zip and go to the keylayout folder in system and manually change it...

My apologies but didnt know there was a CM forum. Or do you mean the CM thread under Android Dev forum? Ill post in there if thats what you mean. Regarding the keys I didnt want to add the soft keys (similar to nexus products) to my screen if I could avoid as it will take screen real estate however would consider if this was the only option
Also howtomen, can you be more specific on which zip
Thanks

So I believe I figured this out. Had to go into /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl
Replacing
key 139 MENU
key 158 BACK
With:
key 139 BACK
key 158 MENU
After reboot it seems to work.

[Q] Standard-xperia physical keyboard with smileys?

Hi, there is something with the iyokan keyboard on CM, that is annoying me (and maybe others too?)
Is there any mod available to basically use the standard-xperia-keys on the phone? I want to be able to use smileys by pressing the sym-button, and changing the language by pressing the languages-button... (i had a rom, where the sym-key led to a menu similar to the original xperia menu, but without the smileys.)
oh, and what is most annoying: when i press and hold a key, i can choose alternative letters, originally on the xperia pro, u could press & hold the button, then a small popup showed up with for example the letter Ü highlighted, and u could just go on and continue typing. now, u press and hold U, the same popup shows up with Ü highlighted, but now u have to manually tap on Ü to choose it. i hope this was understandable.
I hope there is a solution for this... and thanks! :good:
