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

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.
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.
Hey guys,
Is there a way to handle the double tapping of the home button action to be others? Because I want to use this application Quickdesk Pro but S2 does not have a search button where I can long press it to trigger this application. So how do I actually use this application?
Thanks in advance.
search button?
long press menu key?
Yeah.. but long press menu button can't trigger the application itself.
Anyone know about this?
Google is your friend:
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...odaco-com/340047/take-control-of-home-button/
works on KE2
Tried installing it but to no avail. Still unable to use Quickdesk on double tap of the home button.
Anyone know about this issue?
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.
Hey, before anything thank you for your time. So I'm coming from the Samsung Galaxy Light and very much prefer the old hard key setup. For instance the recent apps button was the menu button and I simply had to long-press the home button to view recent apps. I wish to revert to these old settings. I have already rooted this device and flashed/installed xposed framework. I figured out how to to edit the key layout file called "Generic.kl" and have already changed the recent apps key to menu, however I cannot figure out how to change long-press home to the recent apps key and have decided to search for help. I wasn't able to find anything on search engines or forums concerning my issue and have resorted to asking for assistance in this forum.
What do I have to do to remap longpress home to recent apps on the Galaxy on5?

Oh um thanks. But I already tried both of those and neither can do what I want. Is there any help I can get concerning editing the keylayout files?
