Thanks in advance,

You mean to "sense" if its open or closed? -- been looking for that FOREVER and have found nothing. The only thing you can really "sense" is if there is a Hardware keyboard present in the device by using the Native GetKeyboardStatus() function OR by checking the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Shell\\HasKeyboard"
Found it. What is there to it?

Nothing much... If the device has a Hardware keyboard that value will be "1" otherwise it'll be "0"... The GetKeyboardStatus() function can tell you a little more about the Hardware keyboard. Click this link for documentation on that function
in zens slide port, the normal shortcut add button leads to faves. is it possible to do something like that? i like how the app drawer is in the middle, just makes more "sense"(get it?)
tia!
ADDON:
(my ideal setup)
honestly, id like to JUST have an app drawer. we have a hardware phone button that works in taking you to the dialer in any app your in, long press has made the add button obsolete, but ovbiously the app drawer is still needed by default.
i know i know, go to launcher, but i like sense :-D
i know how to use metamorph, so i COULD make buttons transparent, but to switch around the actions...i think will take more dev'ing than im capable of. unless someone has a hardcore article i could read on remapping.

Ive been thinking about that ever since he fixed it. Ive even tried porting that setup over to damage but some of framework is different, and im not really all that good with this stuff....Itd be nice setup though, i like app drawer in the middle too.

LOL i might seriously consider adding that too my sig for a few days
ok. but we'd have to have a consensus on the setup we'd want. i vote for JUST an app drawer, for reasons ive stated in the OP. can we agree on that?
im open to suggestions!!!

Eh, I'd still really like to have the phone button, my green call button sticks some times and acts weird, not to mention I hardly ever use the hard buttons except for ending a phone call or closing an app. I guess its just a habit I have developed.

ok im taking my girl to see kickass right now, and ive promised my torrent community a decent cam over the one floating around right now; in the meantime...reckon you could find anything you can on remapping? ill gladly get this project started up and probably finish it if since it seems like we're the only ones who seem to want it LOL
You guys kill me. Just saw this thread, as I happen to read miscellaneous posts while eating lunch .
I've never really looked at the feasibility of re-mapping buttons for such a purpose. Given that I personally don't have a similar want/need, not sure how much "effort" I'll put into, but I'll take a peek and see what, if anything, can be done.
Personally i love the sense widgets, but hate the bottom buttons, so i use stock home. If theres also a way to change the 7 screens to 5 or 3, that would be awesome. My ideal interface is somewhere between aosp and sense.
I've actually thought about this too and think it would be really neat. App drawer in the middle, phone on the side and replace the "Add to Home" button with something more useful. I never posted anything because I didn't know if it was possible but if it is then I'd love this!

Maybe replace the Add to Home button to Settings or Internet, personally i wouldn't mind figuring out how to change them and switch the phone button to app drawer and add to home to setting and change app drawers current button to internet, then my home screen would be clear.
We've had this convoy before, though slightly different....my preferred setup would be simply replacing the "+" button's add function with a second tray containing shortcuts to your contacts.....pretty much like the people widget, but in a drawer instead of taking up one of my pages. I like having the phone button in the middle, but if some can figure out how to remap the buttons, I wouldn't mind looking in to customizing the layout and functions. Right now, I'm not even sure where to start, lol!
anything different for the "add" button would be great! never understood the need since you can just as easily long press to add
Remapping existing functions is rather easy. Trying to add a new function to a button that does something completely different, though not impossible, would take a lot more work.
Here's a quick "proof of concept" video:
http://screencast.com/t/NDdkNDBmY
I've basically just remapped the application draw and phone launcher buttons to switch. I don't show the left icon press, but it pulls up the phone. Didn't show it in the video, as I don't want to reveal any phone numbers.
There are some bugs to iron out, but if you were to eliminate the left and right buttons all together, it would be good to go now. Currently, and I just started looking at this, if you press the right button, a variable is not getting reset, and then if you press the middle button, it will take you to the shortcuts rather than the app drawer again. But, as soon as you click the 'phone' button, now mapped to the left button, the app drawer in the middle begins working again...

Oh s**t, lookout everybody. I remember what happened the last time mountaindont spearheaded a project, lol
Just giving you crap dude, I'd love to see this happen
i havent completely decided as to how the first set up will be; theres alot of good ideas posted, but we're stuck until i get a starting point. ill probably start out by making my ideal rosie, and share the rescurces and steps to do it.
theory; obviously, the ideal place to start would be in Rosie.apk. perhaps an xml file of some sort? any other ideas?
i search forthis long time so let me know if there are some application that allows what i want. I know it can be only for root users.
I have an idea to application that allow user change function hardware keys.My idea is change search button to bring up app switcher.Be couse i really never used that button. I know many situation when we hold "HOME" to bring it up but it take me back to home+show preview screens +bring up app switcher (i know previews can be turned off by launcher but i want previews, they are cool).You dont need hold anything.It will be much faster switching betwean applications.
So you push HOME to back to home or bring up previews
and push SEARCH button to bring application switcher.
it is good idea?
sorry for bad english.
+1
a key-switcher app would be great
It's a pain in the ass, but there is a way to do this yourself.

The problem is that the intent activity with the APP SWITCHER(Explorer, I think) can't be changed without adding a reference binary, which is what I'm working on^ .

it's a nice try but they should allow you to choose when you want to start recording I new section instead of choosing for you. Maybe press the spen button twice to start a new recording segment in your note
