How to remap keys ?

Hi
does anyone know how to remap keys, I would like to remap the green call button to list recntly used apps, the one that we get when we long press home key.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press and hold the 'Home' button and it'll show you the list of the last 6 recently used apps.
thanks,
but i do know the long press home button, or press and hold home key.
I want to remap this function to the green call button instead.
so that i can get to the application switcher in one key stroke instead of pressing and holding

Disable Long press of Capacitve Buttons?

I made a MOD for the Galaxy S III which remaps the Menu key to the home button. The issue I'm having is that when I do this, it also enables the long press on the normal menu capacitive button even though a normal press is disabled.

Change Soft Key Function?

I know there is some button remapper thing but I'm pretty sure that's only for the newer phones like the Nexus where those buttons actually show up on the screen whereas are are 4 dedicated buttons (but still capacitive).
I was wondering if it's possible to change the soft key function of the search button to say the multitask button because I never use the search button and I do use the multitask button quite frequently, so it would be a lot faster to press the search button instead of holding down the home button.

[Q] Remap "Recent Apps" to "menu" button

I have just upgraded to a Motorola RAZR HD from a phone that had physical (capacitive) "back", "home" and "menu" buttons.
I find the fact that in some instances there is no "menu" button when one could be used irritating. ie, when on the home screen, pressing the "menu" button would bring up a menu with settings etc, but with the RAZR HD there in no "menu" button displayed in that instance.
Is there any way to replace the "recent apps" button, or better yet, add a persistent "menu" button to the onscreen button panel?
I'm aware that on the HTC One V, there was a half functional way of doing this, see

Is there a work around (or a menu setting) that would accomplish this?
If you switch to Cyanogenmod you can assign a long press of one of the buttons to work as a menu button.

Remap long press on capacitive buttons?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, with a very sensitive lock button. Would I be able to remap only the long press of that key to the power button? I know you can use Button Remapper, but that doesn't say anything about the long press functionality.
