[REQUEST] hardware keys remaper

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.

[Q] Extend system wide menu

Hi All!
I have a question whether I'm able to extend the system menu "Phone options" (appears with power button press and hold). I want my app to add an extra option to this menu.
I've googled the question and tried to search in different forums but no success. If you could point me somewhere or give an advice that would be cool!

This might be a good starting point - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812341
Or look at the app Quick Boot as I think when that's installed it adds a new option in that menu.

[Q] Power Menu Activity (Non-Root)

I am holding off on rooting my VZ G2, but have a question on a tweak I want to make. While the back buttons are one of the reasons I picked up the phone (something has to differentiate it from others), I find them a little annoying, especially the 3-second power hold to access the power menu.
Does anyone know where this activity is located? What I am wanting to do is set the "Hold Menu" option in Nova to the power button activity, but can not find it. Maybe it isn't accessible without root, but I figured I would throw it out there.
Thanks,
RY

[Q] AHHHHH I want my old galaxy button layout!!

Hi All
I've just got a S5 today. Overall I like it a lot however the bloody button res-assignments is soooooooo annoying!
Is there any to re-map the button layout back to the older galaxy versions? I.E.
Press the left button and the menu will activate (I know if I hold it down it will work but I keep forgetting and it brings up the tasker)
Hold the home button to bring up the tasker.
Frustrating yours

Root it -> Install Xposed -> Install GravityBox

Thanks, I had thought about it but its a new fone and you know what Samsung are like... I'm leaving towards re-mapping the key.
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Anyone know the key number for the left button (Is it 138), what would I need to change to make the default option a menu. I suppose thinking out loud I want to swap the commands over. I.e. I press the key once I get the menu, press and hold I get the tasker.
Thanks
P.

Just long press the left button and the options come up

Your best bet is to use gravity box, as suggested above. You can only change the recents function to menu via the file you mentioned. I believe the rest of the options you want are smali edits.

How to make screenshot? (VolDown + Power does not work, Google does not help)

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.
