is it possible to give the search hardware key another function?
for example an app?
or i would love to have the on/off screen rotation function on it.
there is an app in the market that allows this but it is limited. it can only program one app to it, but you can make it any app you want. I have it programmed to the screenshot app, so i can take screenshots anytime i want without having to go back to homescreen.
the app is called "Button Shortcut". Depending on the app you want, there may be specific search shortcut apps in the market. I have one called "Call Button" and this programs the search key to also bring up the dialer to make calls since our nexus does not have a physical button for dial.
yeah that app is cool, but it only replaces the long press function of the search key.
is it also possible to replace the normal click?

Nope because the normal search screen can be handled by the active app.
I think in Cyanogenmod 7 you finally can do that.

You can set long press to custom application for the home and menu key
In addition, for the "search key" you can set custom app for both short & long key press.
For long press on Search button you can also use " LaunchKey " ... you can set any App you want or ... create a Menu of your favorite apps to lunch .

i've tried this and it works. and if my memory is correct you can change long press and quick press to 2 different functions
Do yourself a favor and get Tasker. Binding the search button to pretty much anything you'd want is just one of about a billion things you can do with it. If you don't want to spend the money, you can try an app called AutomateIt. I haven't used that one as much as Tasker, but it has similar functionality.
Some of my Tasker tasks are:
Automatically turn on WiFi when I'm in my apartment
Turn off bluetooth when I disconnect my headset
Automatically turn on the GPS when I open Google Maps
Automatically start Pandora when I plug headphones in
You basically give it a trigger (app launching, button pressed, incoming call, etc) and a set of actions to perform when that trigger is hit.
To close my recent apps I have a widget of"android assistant" which closes all the apps at one touch.
And to view the open apps through the default task manager in CM9 I have to press and hold the home button for a few seconds. I was wondering is there any way to access this task manager through a one tap on the scren .considering the times I have to press the home button.. it might get spoilt or loose over time.
Have you guys got any tips to do this?? I also tried "simple text " app but there is no action as to access the task manager.
I did take a look at "tasker" and it had a way to kill all apps or selective apps. I think that could be helpful in a way ..

Don't know of anyway to do that, it's very possible though to make such a shortcut in my opinion.
However the button is of high quality and you don't have to worry about it.
Or you could always flash the on screen keys mod and use that instead.
Cheers.

I think that the on screen keys are a bit waste of space. I have used some iphones in my past, and the main button often got loose (shakey)

Install Nova Launcher from market and Configure the home button in Settings.
Now Just press home button one time and its done
Or apex launcher, you can reconfigure the home button for a 1 press & the task mngr should show in now time, or put an action icon on home screen.

I would prefer using the action shortcut.Will i be able to do that with Apex launcher.
Thanks for the launcher ideas, if i can't get a shortcut made, ill reconfigure the home button to open the task manager on one tap, but then won't it conflict with the actual 1tap idea of the home button? :S to get to the homescreen?

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??
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 tablet and developed an Android app which shows a webview in fullscreen mode, so no title bar in the app is visible.
The app also consists of an options menu. My problem is that a long press on the tablets menu button ( the button left to the home button) shows the option menu. The options menu should be only opened by a Javascript function I call in my webview.
Since the user should only see / work with the webview I want to disable accessing options menu by long pressing menu button. How can I disable this?
Thanks a lot...

Hello,
I havent found a better music player than Winamp 1.4.15 for Android so I am still using it. I am running into an issue where the settings button was hardcoded to the now defunct menu hardware button or the 3-dot menu button in the older navigation. Does anyone know a way to restore this 3-dot menu button so I can access the settings in Winamp? Thank you.

I'm using WInamp as my music player, the app is built for older Android versions, so the menu is only accessible throught the menu button. But since the Axon 7 doesn't have a menu button, I can't access it. I tried long press the recent apps button, but that only brings up voice command. I also tried to look into the Accessibility menu like in this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/help/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-missing-menu-button-t3220289) but our phones don't have that option. Has anyone been able to get the menu button back? Thanks.

Restores menu buttons that have disappeared from Android. No root required.

Question. Does Winamp still kick the llama's ass?
Not anymore (on newer version of Android at least).
