HI all fellow Notists. To save the lifespan of the clicky/physical home button, is it possible to map long hold of the back button to the home button? Kind of like how long menu does search.
Thanks

I am currently using Dutty's newest rom. For the PTT button I am able to define what happens when I hold the button.
I would like to add the ability to close the program when I hold the OK button (button 4). Is there a good way to add the (hold) option in the button settings for all buttons?
Thanks,
-Dan
For ALL buttons? Even the camera? Then what? How will you take pictures?
Have you searched? Someone wrote a program to do this, I read it yesterday. Try searching. I know you are new, but the search button will be yoru friend.
Well, I guess not all buttons. I just would like the option to configure two things for each button.
Through my search I found AE button. I tried that, but was unsuccessful to get it to work properly. I am attempting to remap the side OK button. Remapping the "OK" button only applies to the front OK button.
I think more of my issue is that I am trying to remap the side button, is that possible? I imagine many people would love to be able to close programs using this button.
I hate to be so wrong, so quickly.
My mistake, AE button is exactly what I was looking for it. I was remapping the wrong button. Although it isn't easy to use, I recommend it to all.
I would prefer a reg-tweek to add the option to the buttons dialog, but this will do.

This is the simplest and non 3rd party way to remap your buttons for long press. No need to install a program.
If you hold menu button, you get search which is exactly the same as hitting the search button. That's duplicated functionality. Is there a way to reassign the hold menu button action?

long press for all the buttons are now pretty much re mappable in some way (CM is a great example). But the menu button's long press cannot be re mapped to my knowledge.
To me the default menu long press is pretty useless. am i the only one that thinks this? is there a method i am overlooking that lets one remap the long press menu?
It brings up the keyboard right ? Its quite useless but has helped me bring back the terminal on numerous occasions
Hello, I can't find anywhere how to remap long press on Home button to open Google Now insted of Recent apps. I have successfully changed Menu button to act as Recent app and its much quicker, but for remaping long press Home button I cant find info.
Is there anyone who know this trick?
Thanks
install a new launcher like nova
Currently holding the square screen button does a screenshot, rather redundant with Volume Down+Power. Any way to change it something else?
Never mind, it's the recent apps button/ alt tab button, whatever you want to call it. It's not the home button.
It can be changed in >Gestures>Screen Tools> Screenshot>recent apps key
