Is it possible to replace the menu button with the ICS Task Manager/Multitasker?

Is it possible to replace the menu button with the ICS Task Manager/Multitasker? like in the galaxy Nexus? I think even the icon looks similar in a way to a list of apps. This would be useful especially since ICS deals with this perfectly by showing a menu button when it doesn't detect it as a hardware button.
What do you guys think about this idea?

Why not just hold the home button to bring up recent apps..

Cuase holding the home button for 1 or 2 seconds its not better than just pressing the menu button.

Agree. Home buttons degrade and break.

Yep, and because given the choice, I'm sure most will opt to use it this way. the menu button is getting deprecated as a hardware button and being implemented more and more inside applications.
Hopefully some more ICS ROM devs will see this and review this suggestion. I would love to know what they have to say about it.

I wouldnt mind a widget to do it either. That shouldnt be to hard to do.

+1.
Regards.

This was the first thing I wanted to do after installing ICS. The capacative buttons are mapped in /system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touchkey.kl;
Code:
key 158 BACK WAKE
key 139 MENU WAKE
I'm just not sure what to replace 'MENU' with. 'TASK'?

Hate to double post but I thought I'd share what I've discovered.
I tried replacing 'MENU' with 'APP_SWITCH' in melfas-touchkey.kl and sec_touchkey.kl and got the menu button to act just like the recents button, however there was then no way to access the menu
I had a brief look at the android source code and it looks like the value that decides to show the action overflow button in the toolbar is set depending whether the on screen buttons are being used. Not at all sure about that though and I've seen the new HTC one phones have a hardware recents button replacing the menu so it can't be impossible.

Thank you for trying this and letting us know about the results. I was thinking if all fails maybe the search option that appears when you click and hold the menu button could be replaced with the menu?
Clicking the Old menu button = New app switcher
Holding the old menu button = Menu
how about that? I think most apps include a search icon if/when they include search functionality.

Had a brainwave today and got it 90% there. I decompiled framework-res.apk and enabled the navigation bar AND resized it to 0. This means the action overflow button shows up in apps without the galaxy nexus-like software keys getting in the way. I then remapped the menu key and it is working like a charm
Of course then there is the little issue of bringing up the menu when using a pre honeycomb app. The simplest solution for me was to use the pen's button+swipe up gesture. This isn't ideal and doesn't even work for people using CM9 or stock ICS.
Here is the modified framework-res for the Team Rocket ROM v1.5:
dl.dropbox dot com/u/2340506/navbarhidden.zip
These forums don't trust me with links
Install with CWM recovery. Don't use it on any other ROM! I can't even guarantee it'll work on every team rocket rom. I'm too lazy to load every ICS ROM but if you post your framework-res.apk I can edit it for you.
After you can remap the hardware keys in /system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touchkey.kl and /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl like I mentioned earlier with Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. I have it set up to mimic the HTC one phones and the galaxy nexus's layout, since I keep the key lights off.
Hopefully this is useful to people. A better way to access the menu on old apps should be easier to do once people start tinkering with the HTC one phones.

Great finds! Thumbs up!
Thank you for your efforts!
I would love to try those but I moved back to Gingerbread for the time being. ICS in the note is far from being a daily driver for me. A lots of bugs and battery drains compared to Gingerbread. Hopefully this will change quickly. I trust the dev community and i'm sure they'll beat samsung in having stable ICS releases...

Back to ICS. Using ICS Stunner 4.3 ROM with the new LP5 kernel and modem. This setup is simply stunning. Best ROM I've tried so far.
Back to subject, how can the process go for AOSP ROMs? Like this one I'm using...
Anyone found any other way around this? Thanks !

I looked into doing the same thing as you did only because I love the tablet layout and holding the home button doesn't bring it up.
In order to get what you and a few others would want on select roms, the source for the framework would have to be adjusted as said in the thread, meaning each dev would have to implement this independently.
The second thing is alread mentioned in this thread, which is changing the key layout.
You can hope that the dev has no issues with inserting it into their build.
NOT changing the source but editing the key layout will only bring up the a Gingerbread styled task switcher. I've tried ;_;
I personally might I add, would just love the same hold the home button functionality while in tablet mode.

[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 v1

Im working on porting gweedo767's touch recovery to the incredible. I do not own an incredible so i need people to give me feedback so i know what to change. Once i get a good working fakeflash i will release an installable recovery image. If anyone wants to donate to me for me to get my own incredible that would be much appreciated and will make the process quicker.
Here is a youtube video I made of how it works: ------> VIDEO
4 ways to use recovery:
volume rockers
soft keys on bottom of screen
capacitive buttons
swipe gestures (up/down = scroll && left = back && right = select)
This will not install ANYTHING on your phone. It is just a test drive to see what it is like. This loads the files into the ram and runs them from there. As soon as you reboot everything will be back to the way it was. This does not change/alter ANY files on your phone.
I need to know what sort of things i need to change like:
swipe sensitivity
font size
order of soft keys on bottom of screen
anything else......
Please let me know how i can make this better

There is a known bug in ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 that long file names can POSSIBLY cause backups to hang. There is a solution/workaround:
boot into recovery
try to make a backup (no matter if it passes or fails proceed to next step)
either through terminal emulator or through adb run the following command EXACTLY:
Code:
touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
NOTICE THE PERIOD AND LACK OF EXTENSION.
and it is .hidenandroidprogress NOT .hideandroidprogress __notice the letter "n"__

Hello i tried your recovery and it has a few issues one being major. First off the up scroll button (the one that looks like a house) seems to select items instead of scroll up in the list. Also while on the subject of the buttons imho there a little small, and would look better more rounded, perhaps just putting a ring arround them.
If you swipe to the right on the screen it reboots the phone.
Ok now on to the major issue, it only backed up boot, system, and recovery. It did not back up data, datadata, cache, sd-ext, android.secure, or generate an md5 sum.
Other that that its good. It is not what i was expecting when i tried it. I was expecting to touch on the menu where the options are instead of using softkeys to navigate and select, but i still like this better than having to use vol keys and trackball, great job so far.

It is touch... You swipe to scroll. Swipe your finger up and down to scroll. Swipe right to select and SWIPE LEFT to go back. And thank you for your feedback.
Edit: and also that backup issue is a bug in clockworkmod. You have to put a file call:
.hidenandroidprogress in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/ folder. Notice the period and lack of extension.

Ok i see let me try this again.

Ok now i get it. Lol ok then heres my bug report.
Swipe left and right are way to sensitive. When scrolling up and down if you go just the slightest bit to the left or right, it either goes back or selects an item.
As i said earlier the up softkey selects items instead of moving up in the list.
Also as i said earlier not backing up everything or generating an md5.
Other than that it seems great.

i added the fix to the backup problem in the OP. add that file and itll solve that issue. that is a known issue in the base code of clockworkmod 5.x, im working on making a code fix for that. the workaround works fine for now tho. can you tell me what the "home" "menu" "back" & "search" capacitive buttons do in recovery? that way i can re-arrange the soft keys to line up with the corresponding capacitive button.
im guessing back = go back, search = select, but does home = scroll up or scroll down?
thanks

Home scrolls down, menu does nothing just vibes, back goes back, search selects. Also the on screen back key seems to select instead of go back like the on screen up key does.
EDIT: actually the menu button seems to go back also. Its hard to tell. I think when hitting home, menu, back, search, it is also picking up my finger slightly moving left or right when i hit it.

Also for the backup fix, that is just creating a file called .hiddenandroidprogress right? That file was already present in my cwm folder before i ever even tried this recovery. I ran the command anyways and tried to back up again but still only boot recovery and system.

ok i updated the file. the soft keys on screen should be fixed to at least be the right keys. im going to re-arrange the order to those of the capacitive once i get to my work computer tomoro. also, i made the left/right sensitivity lower. see how it works.

yes .hidenandroidprogress. what it does is stop cwm from enumerating the file list that it is backing up. if it gets stuck after that then i have to go in and debug the filesystem points i have probably as they are wrong for data, etc.

This is only a bootable test, it changes nothing on your phone. You flash this it temp boots to the touch recovery, and then when you exit the touch recovery you will be exactly the way it was before flashing it. It is not permanent.

[REQ] Softkeys for ICS

Now when we have nearly fully working ICS on our HD 2 I have one small request which is connected with the software buttons! Ever since I first installed Android on my HD 2 I am using Button Savior to operate with the phone ut since ICS already has software buttons I think it is not necessary to use third application to operate with the phone! My idea is if some one could modify the stock buttons and make them 4 in this order from left to right : home, tasks, back and power off! I will be very grateful if someone could make this possible! Thank you in advance!

AOKP ROMs have this already implemented, you can add up to 5-6 soft buttons I believe, and you can customize them with swipe actions and custom icons as well.

[MOD]Enabled soft keys/Disabled Cap buttons **7.29 update posted**

This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

Until the backlight params editing is backported to CM10, you might want to try Screen Filter. I used that app since CM9 to disable the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Cheers!

i left mine on cuz there are times and places i need to enter menu but the 3 dots aren't there. maybe leo can add menu to the soft keys, ill ask.

In what app(s) does that occur? I haven't checked every app on my phone, but it's all good so far. The 3 dots show up either next to the soft buttons or on the actionbar.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.

just reflash CM10 without wiping data, should bring everything back to stock.

Kernel that just enables logo as a button?

I am running stock GPE android 5.1 (though my phone came with Sense). I want to change the capacitive buttons to match the normal google layout i.e. I want to enable the htc logo as the home button and change the home button to display recent apps. Is there a simple kernel that will just do this and nothing else? If not is there a simple kernel that will just enable the htc logo as a button and not give me options to overclock or change a bunch of other stuff? Thanks for your help.

I don't know exactly if you can do that specific option with this kernel, but ElementalX has the aroma installer so you can leave everything stock without having to overclock and you enable just the features you want. I'm running it with Logo2Menu, so maybe there is an option to change the button arrangement. Doesn't hurt to give it a try.

You don't want that feature trust me. It doesnt turn the logo as a button, but puts the sensor a little bit above it, so when you are typing you accidentally open the stupid menu and hit something random, and next thing you know, you are in a video call with someone from madagascar. Trust me dude, you dont want this stupid feature on the htc one m7.

You can also just enable soft keys too instead of using the physical buttons.

There is an app somewhere that actually uses the space above the logo, but this is different then the kernel. I just used the elementalx kernel (which was my backup plan if I didn't find something better). I can't do logo2home and home2recents like I wanted to, but I don't have any problem with accidentally hitting the logo button instead of space. I guess this could be because I usually swipe to type, but I'm testing it now and I have to be off the screen before it hits the button (though just barely). Overall I'd say definitely worth it for me.
