Hi there. Is there an app or a root hack to get this done? I hate long pressing to get the recent apps, i want the ICS experience!
Thanks!

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
Is it possible to remap the button around the apps button on the home screen? The ones I'm talking about are the mail/browser/music/photos buttons. I'm on elocitymod 1.0c (and loving it)
thanks
Moved to general as not android development.
I don't know how to do this with the default launcher. However, if you install another launcher such as Launcher Pro (found in the market) it will allow you a lot more customization including remapping the button. Just press and hold the button you want to remap.

i use ADW-Launcher, but i move the app to the homescreen, then instead of dragging it to the trash like i would remove it, i drag it over the button i want it to replace... default homescreen should work the same way...
Thanks. using launcher pro after trying adw as well. Adw has a lot of nice features. But I prefer the stability and speed of launcher pro. I also find home switcher useful to switch b/w launchers when I need to.
On my Evo LTE running CM10 the recent apps button on short press opens settings and long press opens recent apps. I like this function vs having to have a shortcut on the desktop or getting to it from notifications. On most newer phones/tablets running ICS/JB there are mods that remap this function but I've not seen this anywhere for the Nexus. I"m running stock but rooted and would prefer to stay that way if i can. Does anyone either know how to do it or if there's a mod floating around that i was unable to find using "search"?
I would also love to customize what app is opened when sliding up from the soft keys, if that's related.

No that's not exactly what i'm talking about but i would like to do that as well. If i understand correctly if you hold any of the software key/button (IE back, home, or recent apps) and slide your finger up there is a dotted circle with google search button at the top. If i could place the settings app there that would get me by. As for now when i hit the recent apps button i would prefer that to be the settings button or being able to long press the button to open settings. I think what i want is a limitation of the launcher but who knows. Anyone who does have any idea how to do this please let me know. I did attempt to edit the keys file in system/usr/keylayout by trying to add an extra key for settings but it didn't work.
I just want to change the home button, so when I long press it, it opens the recent apps and when I double click it I want it to open google now.
Is this possible with stock android 4.3?
Thanks
I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to disable that NVIDIA Share and Record menu that pops up when you long-press the home button.
My Shield is already rooted.
As a bonus, is there a way to remap that long-press to another function?
Disabling that menu, as well as the OTA updates are the last two major tweaks I'm struggling with in my setup process.
Thanks

I am also interested in this for a slightly different reason. I would like to remap the holding of the back button to simulate a pull-down of the notifications rather than the stupid sleep menu whivh I have absolutely no use for.
I plan to root very soon so maybe there is hope for me to do this in case it's not possible to do this while unrooted...
