I have seen the app switcher pop up a couple times while playing with the phone but I can't figure out what I did to access it. Does anyone know the trick?

Hold the home button down at the bottom. Was that what you were talking about?

Like buttons remapper ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
This would be great. This was one of the first things I did to my MT4G.
+1. You can long press on the screen to get to the Personalize menu; why have it as a button as well?
ui build.prop
i know when i had the mytouch 4g you could remap the "g" button by editing the UI/Mapkey file something like that. will try and find the thread
edit: ok found the thread, but dont know if it also possible on sensation or not....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836702
update: pretty sure it not the same thing since it was a hardware button the was remaped. just trying to help
I know this was done in at least one ROM on the MT4G, and there are MODS in the Desire Z / HD/ G2 forum

What, not on any of the homescreens? Long press and the Personalize menu comes up?
It's a core Android feature; they wouldn't remove it.

Nope. If I long press on a blank or empty part of any screen nothing happens. Its a UK T Mobile

Weird. What ROM you on?
Stock t mobile rom
I`ve since discovered that I can get to the personalize screen by long pressing the screen if there is an empty space for a shortcut icon. Previously all my homescreens were full so obviously I had to remove a shortcut to be able to then personalize that screen.
Sorry, my mistake but in my defence it is my first Android phone and I`m slowly finding my way around it.
My daughter played with the phone and not this weird app is on EVERY screen. When i hit it a little quick launch looking menu appears, It has a few apps and and EDIT button, when you click edit all your apps come up in it's own app drawer and you can change the main ones it shows. Does anyone know what app/feature this is so I can please remove it!
MODS please delete

You are the F*?#king man
Haven't seen this posted yet and each phone is a little different. Curiously it's more like the Note II than the SIII.
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Navigate to: /system/usr/keylayout/
3) Press 'Mount R/W'
4) Long hold 'gpio-keys.kl' and choose "Open in Text Editor"
5) Remove "WAKE" from the line "172 HOME WAKE"
6) Back out, Save, Reboot
Enjoy

I think that would require a modification to a framework jar. Ill see if I can find it.

Home2 shortcut app should work. Simply download it, follow the instructions, then disable the home button shortcut in the svoice settings.

Why would you want to do this unless you could reassign it or add another way to wake up device?

Well... the power button wakes the phone up just fine. I also worry that it can get pressed while in my pocket.
Coming from the Galaxy Note I enjoy the Home Button to wake the phone instead of always having to use the Power Button.
What I'd like to see is Google Voice search shortcut while holding the Power Button instead of the Task Manager.

Just long-press Menu to bring up GNow...then you not only have access to voice search, but the famous GNow cards that might answer your question, anyhow.

That and also in any app, long press on the menu button acts as the search button within the app.
Just throwing this out there - I read here and in the .kl file that it is not good to mess with the generic.kl file. Does anyone know which would be the best .kl file to edit?
I want my volume keys to wake the phone and when i add wake to those keys in the generic file, my power button no longer sleeps the phone...

As mentioned, Power button works the same. I don't need two ways to turn it on. I keep my phone in a belt case and it's tight enough that just putting it in the case turns the phone on. I'm tired of checking to see, so I did this mod today. Actually, it's one the biggest reason I rooted today! Mod worked great, thanks given. Much happier now.

Task manager still works the same as before. I don't use Google Voice or Google Now.

I'm sure this has been discussed but I don't know what to search for and can't find it. When I unlock my phone, using any method (swipe left, right, up, down, with or without pushing the power button first) the phone opens to my homescreen instead of whatever app I was using. Sometimes it's cool, other times incredibly annoying. Is there a way to turn that off?

Just tap this text one or twice and it will be gone
I've never seen that text at all. I use Nova, if that makes a difference.

It was there on stock device. I tried to change AOS but it is still there...I hate it...arrgggg
Did you try going into the always on display settings and switching the content to show option from home button and clock or information to clock or information? I did that the first day i had the phone and havent seen than message since. I think it might help avoid the home button burning into the screen since it doesn't move at all.
