Is there a way to reassign the search button to a different function instead of search? Like launch the camera or take a picture? Maybe even have the different soft buttons function as different alerts for email, text, calls, or calendar?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I saw something like that in the Market but can't recall anything about it beyond that. Sorry couldn't be more help.

LaunchKey would be what you're looking for, well at least for reassigning the search key function to open other apps.
If you dig deeper in this area you will find it. They have been able to have it open the camera.

+1 i looked through many posts. Launcherkey allows the long press but id like to use the search key for something else as i never use it. Id like to just hit it once as normal. Is there a link for any threads pertaining to this?
I prefer to use my search button like THIS.
good day.

Is there a way to mod the dialer so that it's slide to call someone? I'm getting frustrated by the fact that the screen is so sensitive that when I tap a contact by accident, it auto-dials. Is there a way to prevent this? Thanks!
I would love this also

Forgot the name but someone talked about an app in the market that made you hit an extra confirmation whenever you hit dial.

Found! Thanks to donatom. It's titled "Call Confirm."
With all the made skillz here at XDA.
Do you think someone can whip up an app that when you hold the Search button, instead of picking voice search, it can open up the Camera app?
gracias

I believe long presses are handled by the kernal so it should be possible but I am not sure how.
Currently, long press on the search opens google talk...maybe long press on the menu or something?
Good idea though

You get the option for powerstrip or chompsms to take over that button.
I would love an app to launch whatever you want, like the camera or the phone app.
Surely this should be super easy to make

I would like it to be used for voice input in emails/texts. The tiny mic button is hard to hit on the Android keyboard.
I use LaunchPro and setup the app drawer swipe up gesture to open camera, works well for me.
great suggestion.. using that now
Use the android market app called 'Button Shortcut' i made the long-press search open camera instead of google search.

Not seeing how to get to the swipe features. How can I do that?

I don't know about launcher pro but I do exactly the same in ADW. I took LP off after I discovered this in ADW, I never saw this in LP, did I miss it?

Press and hold one of the apps in the app drawer until the menu pops up. Select 'Swipe Gesture Action'

I took the advice. Since I already had handcent SMS assigned to the button and voice search had been assigned before that I got a nice little menu out of it. I think its more useful w/o selecting a default

button shortcut worked once for me and then did nothing. uninstalled. Anyone got anything better?
I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.
Does anyone know what could cause this?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.
Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good

The desktop was indeed locked. Thank you guys.

Go into your apps, hit the menu button, choose edit, find what other three apps you want and drag. Them into the bottom bar, hit menu and selete save.
And next time questions go in q&a.
Go into the app drawer, click menu, edit. Move whichever apps you want into the dock.

I am saving things all the time and it always says saving too clipboard... Where is it?

When keyboard is open, long press the microphone symbol (bottom row, between SYM and spacebar). A bar with six icons will pop up. 3rd from the left (looks like a battery to me) will open up anything in clipboard. This is the only way I'm aware of but not sure if there's another way.

Thanks for pointing this out. Also if you long press on one od the items in the clipboard, it opens a contextual menu with additional options for your clips. I like the lock feature. I've always used an app called "Clipper " but I'm gonna play with Samsung's Clipboard app and see if I like it .

Thank you guys for this. I didn't know that was possible.
Is there a way to get to the clipboard if you're not using the Samsung keyboard? I am using Swype.
Thanks again.

Good question. Occasionally I'm in some text editor and I see a panel of clipboard of copied and cut text snippets, but I don't know how to recreate it.

Yeah, I've been using Clipper for about 3 years now, the best I've found so far. I like the sync feature with the PRO version because it sync's across all my android device. I like that you can create sets, I have an email set that holds all my email addresses. Very handy little app. Haven't had any problems using it with my Note 3.
