Hey guys, I've seen a couple of people asking around for a mod to remap our "useless" search button. So I found the easy DIY solution!
Not sure if it's the same across all sense roms, so do hit me back on that! I did this for NIK's Aura Rebirth V3. (Thanks Nik, loved it! :highfive: )
*I'm an android noob, curiosity gave me a cat.
1. Using a root explorer, go to system/usr/keylayout
2. The file you're editting here is atmel-touchscreen.kl, so make a back up of it on your SDCARD just in case.
3. Next you'll see key 102, 139, 158, 217, 249
4. 217 should be originally your search button, indicated by "SEARCH"
5. Switch that with "APP_SWITCH" , do a hot restart, and you're good to go!
Did this using ES with root setting enabled.
Replace your SEARCH button with a RECENT APPS button!
Download a recovery-flashable .zip:
Use this to revert to an original functionality of a search button. It will become search[/b] again.
disable-recent-search.zip
Use this to make your search button a recent apps button
enable-recent-search.zip

As stated in the topic, it works only for sense. For AOSP, theres a more complicated process to go through... Google it up and create a guide for AOSPs?
Would love to but I am not good enough to do that. Still... GB switcher is more usefull than search
Is there any way to long press "search" key for search function back?
Thanks

It seems the other way around. I used this in my AOSP CM9 ROM by simply editing atmel.kl. I tried incorporating it into my Sense ROM and GB recent apps show up.. I've been looking for a few hours now, does anyone know how to fix this? I've found some related threads, but nothing that helps me.

Hi Devs,
I am trying to port an awesome rom from the i9000 forum, it's Surface 2.1. I've got everything working fine w/ Talon 0.4.3. But I cannot figure out how to get the home button to work, let alone haptic feedback. I've tried messing around with the Services.Jar file but I couldn't get anything working.
I've seen a thread about the haptic fix for jvp but I don't know if it will work in JVQ. I was hoping a dev could chime in and let me know what I need to do.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this.
Thanks,
Rich
The one from JVP works on all GB ROM, I can't find the link, but if you can post the link and I can verify it for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184814
Found it here it is.
here you go
Edit: this will get you the home button fix. but no haptic.
sorry pal
You want to go to into the system/user/keylayout/melfastouchkey and add
Key 102 HOME "And like WAKE-DROPPED or something I cannot remember"
That will give you the home key for the Captivate.

To get home button to work use whatever Dlev mentioned. For home haptic you need to do smali editing in android.policy.jar
I tried the zip file, unfortunately it didn't work, even to make the home button function...

I just downloaded Snail too and tried that. v13-T1, same thing... no reaction from the home key...
The back key and settings key work as expected though.
Thanks for the help.
Edit: I just looked at the file on the phone and it's not the one from the zip... looks like the update.zip didn't copy it properly! Let me play with this now.
Edit: 2 it's working!! For some reason the zip file didn't update the file on the phone.
Thanks to everyone.

i have run into the same problem with SH4.0. i have tried the zip and no luck on home function. can someone provide a link on how to be able to appply home botton for I9000 gb roms on the captivate.

If you read xcaliburinhand's kernel thread, he has a zip in there you can flash to fix the home button. Or you can unzip it to put it directly in the ROM. Worked when I ported H&F. Thus is non-aosp right?
i saw this over the Nexus S thread, and thought it would be awesome if we had the Recent Apps on a click of a button, but not by holding the Home button..and since we don't use the Search button (at least i don't) , we could remap it so it could show the Recent Apps..
so.. here is the MOD : [MOD][19 JAN] Search key to ICS recent apps [add CM9, AOKP and Peter Alfonso version]
and the HOW-TO : [HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
i tried to make it myself, but i couldn't, so i would like to make a request, or a little help for this MOD
Credits: evilisto
The first link is a flashable .zip, did you try it yourself? I feel tempted to... It's for IML74K so it should work I guess.
The second one is just the instructions on how to do it ourselves, I might try this tomorrow, right now I need some sleep.
So is the flashable zip usable with the teamhacksung ics version?

Or you can just remove the assertions from the update scripts. It seems to work, but it messes up some framework assets, as I was expecting, see the screenshots.
I'll see if I can the file from our build, decompile, make the changes and then recompile but I'm pretty new at this stuff. For instance.... do I have to sign the file to be able to use it, and how do I do that?
and yes, it works beautifully. having the app switcher just one tap away makes this a true multi tasking device to me. You will lose this button functionality though, so if you depend on it this won't work for you.

Cool.
I'm sure someone in this forum has to know what they are doing heh.
So far I'm stuck in here: I have to OneCosmic's source code, but how do I convert the new PhoneWindowManager.java to a smalli file??
Long story short:
These are few mods i made for myself and i'm gonna share here.
These are for any stock based Jelly Bean rom deodexed.
Percent Battery and 3G/HSPA
LINK
Disable Select Input Method Notification
LINK
Extended Power Menu //Long press to recovery to reboot into bootloader.
LINK
Quad lockscreen + Extended Power Menu ***UPDATED***
LINK
HowTo - Tutorial
Enable Softkeys On Screen //This mod will break others.
LINK

NOTES:
- Some mods may/will overwrite others so choose carefully.
- If you don't know what they are you probably don't need them.
- Remember to make a nandroid backup before flashing.
- Any feedback/suggestion and thanks will be appreciated.
Thx for this Been looking for these kind of mods ever since upgrading to JB.
I installed the battery/powermenu/input mods and they're working fine
Also attached a screenshot with the 3 mods visible, if anyone is curious of the appearence.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Forgot to say you can long press recovery to reboot into bootloader.
Love them, thanks for the Brilliant App too.

Firstly thanks to Cyanogenmod Team and the AVATAR Team for the Roms that im using to Port.
The Rom is based on the cyanogenmod RC4 release date 2013-05-31 the kernel is dated on 2013-05-31.
The AVATAR rom is from 2013.06.01
About the port:
The Rom is usually and works correct without forced closings! If you find some Bugs let me now...i´ll try to fix it!!!
Not Working:
Key issues Fixed
Everything is good
Working:
Everything expect the things over me =)

XDA-Developers and me are not responsible if you damage your mobile
How to flash it:
Boot into rom Manager
Make a full wipe or better a system format (to prevent the acore.process has stoped)
Install rom from sd-card
Take a drink, first boot takes a minute or two.
Now i wish you much fun...and if you like my work the Thanks button is not far away
Now you will get autoupdates!!!!!!!! After installation you will recive a update message....Do it and at this point u are supported by AVATAR-Server
I think AVATAR-Team have started to support our device!!!! Thats a great thing!!!!

I have an easy root fix for once you update to 4.4 if you have Mac
I modified the Root.Nexus.4.zip file for Mac on here, updated it to CWM 6.0.4.3 image, and SuperSU 1.65 image. Just unzip, and run the Root.Nexus.4 terminal shell script with the N4 in fastboot with USB connected to the Mac, I think you can use a similar script for PC and prob need USB drivers if you don't have them already. Hope this helps
I'm unable to post a link on here since I'm a newb, PM if you want the link to the zip
Thanks
Another build available here : http://www.androidauthority.com/android-4-4-kitkat-nexus-4-nexus-7-download-unofficially-313352/.
Flashed this in CWM, everything, including root is absolutely fine. (I flashed SuperSu 1.65 zip). But for the proper google experience, have to wait for the factory images.
The lockscreen widgets functionality (except for the camera widget) seems to have been removed, can anyone find that option anywhere?
Edit: Lockscreen widgets can be enabled in Settings->Security.
