hey everyone
first I'd like to congratulate for new forum
and secondly I have a big bad question form devs
it won't be better if you guys change home button which currently opens search with the menu button that takes us to the home??
so the home button shows home and menu button search
I thought we all have got used to do it that way in both android and winmo(which is now dead).
in my opinion it would be much easier
what about you dear friend?

i search forthis long time so let me know if there are some application that allows what i want. I know it can be only for root users.
I have an idea to application that allow user change function hardware keys.My idea is change search button to bring up app switcher.Be couse i really never used that button. I know many situation when we hold "HOME" to bring it up but it take me back to home+show preview screens +bring up app switcher (i know previews can be turned off by launcher but i want previews, they are cool).You dont need hold anything.It will be much faster switching betwean applications.
So you push menu to back to menu or bring up previews
and push search button to bring application switcher.
it is good idea?
sorry for bad english.
I was ready to start a thread with a similar recquest, so I do it here.
I've using a lot an application on my previous wm devices, called AE Button plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php).
With this you could map any of hardware buttons of the device. And you could assign 4 actions to any button(click, doulbe click, triple click and click&hold) and it had many of system functions(reboot, bluetooth, wifi, gps on/off....).
On android I haven't seen any similar app(except button shortcut, which is very limited)
Is possible to have such an app on android? I hope that a developer start a project for a similar program. I found this app very useful.
I tried to copy the information here with no luck.
I would like to remap some buttons to gain camera functionality.
1.) the "back" button
- the long press of the back button is not being used by anything.
-remap the long press of the 'back' button to the short press of the camera button.
--or---
2.)the "send' button
-The green phone button (i'm calling it the send button) is not being used by me. I use my headset for voice commands, or the touch screen to open the phone app.
-I would like to completely remap it to the camera button, short and long press (not sure if camera has a long press, if it doesn't i have another idea)
3.)menu key
- the long press of the windows key is worthless. maybe use that.
A big thank you.

thats the same link i used in my above post.
Ooops ! Sorry I missed the link in your first post.
My mistake
no worries bro, thx for trying to help!
I notice that the Genius Button, which is a little hit and miss on its usefulness in my opinion, seems to look for CONTACTS every single time you use it, therefore creating a few second delay.
My question is there a way to stop it from doing this every time or is this just the standard operating mode of the Genius button.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Yes, hit the menu key for its settings. Look for phonebook settings.
Hi everyone, I've searched but I can't seem to find anything.
What would be the file to edit and code to map hard key with windows logo to the application drawer to open in home screen only? Is this something possible? I'm using AWD launcher
Is there another way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
why would you like that ? it's useless
Yup pretty useless
So how would you bring up the menu?
Well, i do see what you mean with useless... but would be nice to have short press for programs and long press for normal menu you get when pressing it...
Not that important anyways!
Long press is already used to bring up keyboard and to hide it.
Hi
I bought galaxy s4 last month but I am not happy with functionality of the home and sensor buttons. In my opinion switch application (the list of all previously opened apps) is very important button and I am not happy to wait whole second holding down home button to get simple alt+tab feature. At all this big hardware button does not fit in the whole picture and its the biggest mistake of this phone. Now I cannot remove it but at least I want to use it as much as little I can. So I want to switch menu button and "hold home" buttons. Its far more sensible to make separate sensor button for switching app than use it for menu functionality. I didn't root my phone and I don't want to root it but if its needed to get rid of this stupidness I will make it. So is there any way to switch menu button and "hold home" button?
thx
