Is there a way to change softkey assignmets?
For example, assign NubDial to longpress Search Softkey
Thanks!

there is. the only reason i asume so is because Handcent SMS lets you reassign search key.
Is there a way to re-calibrate them too then? I really don't like that the coordinates are set above the actual icons...

Yeah that's for sure - there are several apps doing that for themselves.. I thought there is an app letting you do that for other apps.
Anyway, would be nice if someone coded one

I'm interested in this too, but seems that nobody followed up on this thread. Is there any of you that figured out how to do that?
thanks
There's an app... called let me think... Button Shortcut... free on the market that allows you to remap (some/all?) of the long press functions.
I did exactly as above until I installed HelixLauncher2... mapped long press on search to NubDial.

Thanx for that..trying it now..
Edit: ok..one can set the "search button long press" for any app.
Hi all,
I would absolutely love to be able to toggle my Android wi-fi connection with a long press of the search soft key. This would be ideal when launching some app that would benefit from a faster connection and would save me returning to the home screen, activating the wi-fi and then returning back to the app.
I've searched everywhere to find an app, or combination of apps (Button Shortcut + something else) that could achieve this but have hit a dead end.
Anyone know of an app that could achieve this?
Alternativily I do have the Android IDE set-up at home, does anyone know how I can hook the long button press (from within all app's) and toggle the wi-fi connection?
Thanks in advance,
Nexus One user (I'm not rooted)
Ok, so I've come to the conclusion there's no apps out there at the moment that will do this so I have started writing my own.
I have successfully hooked the search button and can get a basic activity launched with a long press of the search key from the home screen and within other apps.
All I need now to is to find the code that allows me to enabled/disable wi-fi. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good example?
Thanks, will share my app once its finished!
I now have this working on my Nexus One, needs a couple of tweaks but it's nearly ready to release to the Android Market.
Would anyone care to do a bit of beta testing for me? If so I can PM the apk once it's ready.
Also, if appropriate can a mod please move this into the "Android Apps and Games" forum.
I have now released this to the Market as "In-App Wifi Toggle".
awesome app, thanks for sharing!

Thanks, glad someone likes it!
Can you tell me what phone and version you're using and what button you're using to activate the app?
I like it. I'm using an N1. I put it on the search soft key.
Works great on my HTC Legend with 2.1 Sense!
Thx!

Very nice... Has anyone tested this on a G1?
I have been using the Toggle WiFi app set to the keyboard shortcut (search-w) but this seems a little more "fluid"...
love it great idea fast easy way to turn wifi on and off

I have a friend with a G1 who's been doing some testing for me. The version on the market at present will only work on a short press of the green/call button. The search button on the pull out keyboard doesn't work. Now obviously a short press of the green/call button is normally assigned to shortcut to the phone app and most people won't want to re-assign this and so I have made some adjustments so it will now work on a long press of the green/call button. I will be releasing this update to the market in the next couple of days when I get a moment.
FYI I've just uploaded the new version with the added long press of Call/Green button.
Vary nice app, works as described on HTC Droid Incredible. Like how the systems gives me the choice of Wifi toggle or google search on the long press now. Very nice. Would have paid for it....
Any chance of releasing the source code for us wannabe devs to learn from? I'd love to modify the app to call a specific person on a long search press, as I find the dialer to be the most annoying part of Android.
Hi just downloaded it and works fantastic on my Legend!!
Thank you very much!

I will eventually release the source code yes once I've put my website together but not right this minute I'm afraid.
On a seperate note I've been beavering away coding "In-App Bluetooth Toggle". Frankly, its been an absolute slut because I would like the app to work with all versions of Android from 1.5 upwards but the bluetooth API only became available from 2.0. I've been using a complex combination of hacking and reflection to get the pre 2.0 versions working and now have a single app that works on both a v1.6 G1 and v2.1 Nexus One.
Are there any v1.5 (Hero/Moment/Magic/Pulse/CLIQ) users out there willing to do some debug testing for me? I can email you a APK file.
Any help appreciated!
You know what I'd love, it if there was a way to emulate all of the hardware keys, like Menu, Home, Back, etc on the screen rather than by using the hardware keys. Any possibility for something like that using your idea here for Wifi toggle?

Would you expect such an emulator to be visible always, in every application? That would seem rather intrusive in my opinion.
Great App. It works good on the HTC Wildfire. The only problem is I(we) don't have a call hardkey, therefore I can either use the wifi or the bluetooth toggle or use the popup menu(which is not very "clean")
Hi!
Can you share how you manage to capture long press on search button by code? It will be greatly appreciate
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys, I wanna remap the capacitive search button on my Milestone so that it opens up the Message app instead of opening the search. I txt a lot so would rather map that button to a function that I use more frequently, rather than something that I barely use at all.
I know that if you have ADWSettings installed, you can go to "General Behaviour" and there is a setting to remap "Home button binding".
However, there isn't one for Search button. Does anyone know how to change it?

After having been naughty yesterday I feel like being constructive today.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...ttons-without-touching-a-single-line-of-code/
An app which should be available on XDA as well.
MilestoneXT720 - CM 6.3.0 by MZ
I already know the ButtonRemapper app on the Android Market, however it's not freeware and is still in beta. I dunno whether the Milestone is supported by it or not so I don't want to risk paying for an app that might not even work on my phone. I would pay if it does support it, but seeing it's beta right now i'd rather find some freeware alternatives....
And yes, I DID try pressing down the search button. It doesn't support opening the Message app. I don't even think it does considering different custom roms already have pre-defined functions mapped to those keys.......i'm using TelusLite v5.2 btw.
Oh and the main point you guys are missing is that I don't want to HOLD down the button to activate the 'alternative' function. I just want the search button to open the Message app on a single press.
It should be for free on XDA. I mentioned it cause androidpolice stated it in their article.

Anyone know if there is a manual for Touchwiz? For instance it took me a long time to find that if I long press the search button I can configure a voice app for it. Be nice it that was documented somewhere?
