Nook 'n' hardware key mapping? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to map the 'n' key so that when I long press it it goes back?
I'm on cm10.1.3 so card install & the option to map the long press is there, but not for back at all. It seems this has been removed from recent cm builds.
As such I'm using an app called GMD Gesture Control, but it's not that reliable. App switcher isn't something I use regularly so being able to map the long press would be ideal.
Cheers.

This works for me in carbon

That looks like it's exactly what I need.
I'll give it a go this evening. Thanks!

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.

Remap hardware button in CM9?

Hey there, I am just wondering if it is possible to remap the hardware button on a HP Touchpad so that instead of it returning to your homescreen when pressed it displays the recent apps list instead?
Thanks!

Possibly with an app called Llama which is available free from Play Store
I use to give me alarms and shutdown my Touchpad depending on battery level.
Don't see why you can't set up an event that would do what you want.
Please let us know how you get on.
I use an app called TaskXP that allows for double tapping the home button and bring up apps that are running and you can add apps
A similar app is called Smart Taskbar

[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] Reassigning menu button

Hi all,
Ever since I have a GSA I have been searching for an option to change what happens when i press the menu button. Before i had a HTC One S and i really loved its application switcher. I was wondering if there is any way to get the application switcher open on pressing the menu button, and then show the menu on longpressing. I know that the CM10 diego is working on supports it but it is still in ALPHA so i do not want to install it for daily use. Anybody any idea how I would achieve this on any other ROM?
Thanks
System/usr.
Find keylayout file and edit it.
I do not respond to tech support via PM
Sorry, should have mentioned. I already tried to do it through that file, but first of all. I couldn't find the key mapping that corresponds to our hardware key, and second, that leaves me without any functionality to get the options menu to appear since longpress is not handled in that file

Now that there is a pretty good cm10 build this issue has been solved for me

[Q] Home Button Doesn't Go Home

Whenever I click my home button, it'll take me to my app drawer if I left it open. Otherwise, it takes me home. Any way to get around that without a ROM? Is this even the default behavior?
Also, the back button doesn't close the app drawer, only the home button does. Once again, is this normal?
Thanks!
Its normal. I'm not sure but one of the ROMs changes this behavior I believe. Read through the features.

This has to do with the launcher
On custom launchers like nova, it let's you choose what action the home button performs
