Any android apk's that might give this ability?
You should be able to find something in the Market.

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.
Anyone know how to (if possible) change the action of the stock recent apps button on Nexus 4? Or where can I find a thread that explains this? I can't seem to find information anywhere.
Also, is it possible to program an action to a long press of a capacitive button?
Thanks
Hi,
I've been using CyanogenMod 10.2 on my Nexus 4, but I changed back to Stock Android. But now I'm missing a very useful option: the option to use the volume keys for skipping the Musik when the screen is on and I would like to use it now on Stock Android. The Apps in the Play Store don't work like I want, on one hand they don't work that good and on the other hand they only change the volume control to musik control, but I want to use both (short press for volme up/down, long press for next/previous title) so I thought I could use the ButtonRemapper or Tasker to make this real. But I can't find a function for "long press" in the ButtonRemapper or the possibility to have two things on one button or, in ideally a way to only activate it when the screen is turned off. And in Tasker (I only have the free version now for testing) I can't find a way too, so there would only be the possibility of a script for all I know.
Is there any way to solve my problem?
BTW: I have Android 4.3, rooted. And I need an "step-by-step-walkthrough", especially when I need a script because I don't know anything about scripting, so please have understanding when I need an easy way for that.
Works now with Xposed Framework...
I have searched quite some time to find answers to this so I will ask this here. I would like to trigger application executions or tasks (volume up for example) by pressing combinations of keys. So far, it seems no app accomplishes this neither does modifying any system file. I believe it requires something to detect multiple keypresses. Reason being is I would like to keep my Nook stock in appearance and only enter into an alternative launcher when needed. I quite like the aesthetics of the stock Nook but the available tools on android are indispensable. So, basically I am looking for something that will launch ReLaunch when I press both hardware down keys at once but ignore everything else. Perhaps trigger volume up and down by pressing "n" and up or down on either side. It's possible to do this in distros of linux but I have no idea about android or this version in particular. Does anyone know of any solutions? Thanks!
For combo buttons like that you'd have to hack android.policy.jar
You could always just use ButtonSavior instead.
That has popup softkeys on the screen.
If you have rooted with NookManager Nook Mod Manager allows you to assign actions to long presses. For example, I have a long press of the n button assigned to ReLaunch. A short press acts like normal and brings up the B&N quicklaunch.
Hi everyone,
I have somewhat newbie question but I am unable to find answer anywhere so maybe someone here knows - how to make a screenshot on that tablet? Holding combination of Volume Down and Power buttons is not working for me. The only way to do it for now is to choose that option from top-down menu on homescreen - but it is very uncomfortable to use.
It is neither my first Android tablet nor phone, I get used to many different ways of interfaces but this is first time when whole Google claims "Volume Down + Power" but it certainly not working. Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0.
Works for me, seems like I had to hold it a bit for it to work.

I just pull down the status bar (top right) and screen shot is one of the options. If it is not there it can be added.
