Hej, i use more than one Android and on other, search is at left & menu at right, it always make me confuse so i wonder : Is there a way to invert them? Other question : When we'll use ICS on the Note, will there be choice to have either capacitive, virtual button, or both? Or will still have to use capacitive?
No man there is no way of inverting the buttons.What you ask requires some extreme code editing in kernal side which might even brick your device.Officaial ICS release date is not specified till now by samsung.You can check custom roms and leaked ICS if you want to try it.What do you mean by virtual buttons?All the buttons below the screen are capacitive touch buttons except the physical home button
What i meant by virtual button is just buttons in screen like on galaxt nexus.

I suppose it can't be said until we see ICS for our note
What about gs2?

It is very easy to do, in a similar way to how I remapped hardware keys. See here:

Hi, my device's power button is almost dead. I want to wake my phone by using volume rockers.
My phone is not rooted. Is there any application or method to do this?

Looks like a good link, but he's not rooted and this guide is for root access modification.
But I think that rooting would be the best solution to get what the OP is after.
Mine is half death, and hopefully not about to death.
Seriously though, if you're not going to claim warranty to get it fixed (I did) root it and get vol wake and sweep to wake/sleep. I've set mine to do both and I don't have to use the power button unless rebooting
ok. here the dumbest question: how can i root it?

Yeah my power button died 2 months ago. Root and install venom. It's the only Rom with both vol wake and vol sleep.
If somebody knows how I could make all roms have vol sleep that's be great lol.

Some custom ROMS have tweak, which allows you to wake by volume buttons
you'd better root your IS or replace a power butern
you can use Go locker
i tried CPR but its of no use .. its almost dead :silly:
A couple of days ago I asked in the Q&A forum if it was possible to disable your physical back home and menu buttons and enable the on screen buttons like on the nexus 4. A guy named: UncleRipper helped me by telling me how to do it, so I want to share it with you guys. But all props to UncleRipper! For an example of how it looks on my phone see the photo below.
So what we want to do is enable the on screen buttons, disable the physical buttons, and stop them from lighting up everytime you touch the screen. I know you can disable this in the settings if you're on lg's software, but I am running cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly.
So first enable the on screen buttons:
open a file manager with root ( Solid Explorer or Root Explorer), go to /system and open build.prop (backup it!!):thumbup:
add this line at the end of the file build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
restart your phone.
Now you got the on screen buttons, you want to disable the physical buttons:
Use "button remapper" (search it on google cause isn't on play store) and assign "focus" to home, back and menu buttons.
The app is simple to use and the values to change are last in the list.
After the physical buttons are disabled you want to stop them from lighting up when you touch the sceen:
Prerequisites:
Root
SManager (play store)
SManager widget (play store)
Your phone
this script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iz6t5eql0w...tkeyscript.zip
First install the app SManager and accept the SU request.
Use a root file browser and move the script from the SD Card your system/etc/init.d folder
Go into SManager and locate the 2 scripts. Click on them and tap the little star button in the top left to make them a favorite. And click the little SU icon while your at it! (optional: click also on run on boot the gear near "su" command)
Add the widget to your home screen, run the script and turn off the display and then turn it back on.
If the physical buttons wernt visible id do this. But i find LMT launcher works great for when a can be bothered doing hand gymnastics to push the back button.

Yep, if the physical buttons went off, it would be good. Could You make it working? ;D
The physical buttons are disabled and they don't light up anymore, so you can't really see them anymore unless you take a really hard look. But hey, it's your choice rather to use it or not! I'm just saying it's possible ;D

Why on screen button? If your device have the physical key so use it.also on screen button takes space in screen.

Why not??
-you think it is beautiful and you like nexus software button?
-you apply the mod.
-you don't think that is great?
-don't install the mod...
i think that the software buttons are great and a 4.7" screen is very big. fill it with something...
sorry for my english.

Couldn't agree more!
I seem to be having trouble with button remapper. The only option that I'm getting is for the power button and can't seem to access the home, menu, and back keys for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Open /system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl and remove/comment three lines from the almost end of the file (those with VIRTUAL word). Works, at least on PAC 23.0/CM10.1, not sure if in stock rom will also work. Then use the script from OP to disable lights (I'll try to find simplier way to do it all).
And of course add this:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of /system/build.prop
+1 thank you I got it all working now.

Nice username.
Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).
Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.
There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!

Just wondering if there is a way to change the action of the menu button when you long press it goes to google now and i really don't use it so i would like to change it to something else.

Yeh after having an i777 last couple years with the on screen keys, it's taken me about a week to get used to a home button and the 3 key layout, pressing left for multi and holding it for settings feels a bit awkward to me out of habit lol

Exactly how I'm feeling! I even miss the fourth "search" button on the i777. I had longpress open a QR scanner which always came in handy.
