Home key remap - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anyone has tried to remap the home button via the /system/usr/keylayout/ *.kl alteration method. Could be why home takes to only Amazon launcher.
Just a thought, to further launcher access. I did this on this phone to get rid of the sms button cause I use go sms, and the button launches stock messenging app only

I canned the stock softkeys. Using button savior pro now.

I too use button savior pro on all of my devices, I like it for the cam and volume and menu buttons on 4.0+ devices. But was wondering about the stock button bar if anyone has tried this method to bypass amazon's lockdown of the device.

[Q] Question about galaxy s with broken menu button

hey so i've broken my menu button after replacing my screen bezel. Is there anyway I can disable my stock messaging app without deleting it without using the menu button?
thanks
have you rooted your phone? because there is a root app which shows menu,home and back buttons onscreen, so you dont need to use buttons

Yeah, I can change a key press of it to launch recents instead of going to home but that isn't what I'm looking for.
I want to remap long press functionality which is a more involved process.
Thank you.

I'm trying to get this to work as well. I'm trying to map it to the menu button. All threads I can find, tutorials included, are remapping to single press too. I've been checking out the key layouts folder in system/usr but I can't find anything referring to long presses. Have you made any progress?
If I remember correctly for the HW long press the DPI of the handset needs to be set to 'Phone' rather then 'Tablet' if you are using the latest version of PA.

Screenshot?

Any one know of away to take screen shots with out power button. I'm running asylum cm10 v6 and have no power button all apps I have found do not work with the gnote. So I'm looking for ether a app or a way to remap buttons to do it with one button like holding the back button or something like that.

I'm sure you know it already or maybe the custom ROM won't support it but did you try putting the side of your palm and sweeping it to the left? or maybe holding the button on the s pen and touch the screen with it?
If you already knew that and that the pen would not work on a custom rom, peace!
The palm trick only works on TW roms so , I guess you will have to use power button
I guess there are many apps in playstore to take screenshots
well i could not get any apps to work so i just figured out how to remap the power button to the home button so i lost the home button but have my power button back is a good trade for me anyways

Remap worked fine for me no need for an app

[Q] nook recent apps

Anyone know if it's possible to have it show the recent apps opened that aren't installed from nook store but sideloaded?
My device is the HD+, and the sideloaded launcher is nova prime.
I use recent plus from the app store, then made a shortcut for it using notification toggles. That way I can touch the notification area and get to all recent apps.

Sigh, Nova launcher doesn't let me assign something to long press home...

I use TaskSwitcher to customize the Home button behavior. Shows running and recent apps (when enabled in its settings).

[Q] Remap power button to camera button?

So a friend dropped his C5303 and the power button is now a little sticky.
Any way to turn the camera button into the power button?
Cheers
TIA
EDIT: This device isn't rooted and he'd have no idea how to!
Without rooting you are not able to remap buttons.
If he choose to root then he could use xposed frame work app and a module that would remap buttons or he can try using tasker....it is a paid app but has its own tasker help thread on xda.
