Hi guys, Im using Owains ICS KANG and found this cool tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450138 in the Nexus S Forum and would like to know if someone can tell me how to apply it to the LGP990? I want to remap the search button to the ICS recent apps button. I know that pushing the home button for short time results in the same action, but Im not using the search button anyway and I would like to have a quick acces to the recentapps, but like I said I have no clue how to do it!
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
After working myself into the stuff I found the solution myself , for the people which had the same issue, you have to edit the file "nvodm_touch.kl" in system/usr/keylayout. There you have to search for "key 217" and replace the "SEARCH" with "APP_SWITCH", tada you have recent apps on the search button .

Hey everyone.
I'm running cm9 rc1 one my n7000 and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to change the way the home button works.
In particular I'd like a short press to open multitasking and use long press to send me to the home screen.
My thought is that it'll greatly improve my Workflow.
Leaving the long press for the end of my session/sending me home.
If not, does anyone know of any other fast and simple way to access multitasking? Gesture? Bezzel touch?
Something that works system wide and frees me from the interruption of long presses.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
Is there a button remapper for the ice cream sandwich? I know there is a button remapper app for gingerbread and it works flawlessly on gingerbread roms, but recently I installed texasice ICS rom, and the app only gives me three buttons to remap which are the volume buttons and the power button. Since my power button is broken, I wanted to remap my search key to act as my power button.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Hi,
I've flash my GT-i9000 with CM10 Nightly JB + semaphore 2.0.6s & patch fixed + Samsung Add-Ons . Everytime i press the home button it pops up a window for me to select touchwiz home or trebuchet. I was wondering if i pick one of the two and if i want to change to another one next time how can i do it? cause i couldn't find an option to get that done. Also i've found that everytime i turn on the phone if i goes to touchwiz home some of the apps place at the home screen will be gone. And also the drop shadows for each icon on the screen blink when it first load. Was this Samsung add-ons not a good thing to have? if so how can i get rid of this?
Thank you.
Regards,
Newbie
You can go to the apps managing page, pick the home app you're using and press "Clear defaults", that will let you pick the app again next time you press home or reboot.

Hi guys,
I have a faulty home button that randomly triggers recent apps dialog (by long pressing of home button) even if iam not pressing the home button. Its not rom related i tried it. So I want to change the behaviour of phone when long pressing of home button to do nothing on this long press. This feature was possible in CM 10, where you can change the behaviour of hardware buttons. So i want to change the behavior of long press home button to do nothing. I have a rooted pnone of course and 2.3.6. Based rom by nkvi71 (see signature). Is it possible somehow? Thanks for your tips.
Btw i cant change it thru any launcher. For example if I change this in Holo launcher to do nothing on long press of home button, the Rom ignores this settings. And i cant use nova launcher because i have a gingerbread rom. Is there a fix for it?
Use cm7.
It gives you the feature to change it

Thanks for your tip i tried this rom based on CM7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234221 but no luck. In CyanogenMod settings i click on input - 3rd choice) and then I click on 'long press of home button' and then I untick 'Show recent apps' but no luck they still appear on long press of home button even if it is disabled also on holo launcher. Do you know any specifuc cm7 rom that offers explicitly to do nothing on long press of home button? Or am I doing something wrong??
