[REQUEST] hardware keys remaper

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.

Remove Icons from App Drawer

Ok, couldn't find an answer to this anywhere, but I hope I'm posting it in the right forum...
Basically, without removing the actual app, I want to be able to remove the icon for it from the app drawer...
I'm sure some of you have noticed, that when you download the key for some software, you end up with two icons - one for the key, and one for the program... honestly, it's just silly... how can I remove one of them...?
Anyone any ideas...?
Thanks!

You can do this with Adavanced Launcher.

[MOD] Remap Search Soft Key To Camera

I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS LITTLE HACK, THIS WAS DONE FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM THIS POST.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO Decad3nce
This Hack Should Work With Any 2.2 Rom
Just Flash This .Zip In Recovery.
*Do Nandroid Backup Just In Case*
What This Does Is That When You Go Into The Camera App, You Can Take Pictures By Just Pushing The Search Button.

I would like to know this as well. Also, u said it should work with any 2.2 rom, so I'm assuming it should work on a 2.2 aosp rom as well like cm6.1?

I'm Not sure. I didn't test it on AOSP. It just changes the action of what the search button does.

Useful for anyone also misled by the naming of the thread, LaunchKey is an app on the market which lets you bind the long-press of the search key to any app, including camera. It is useful because it lets you keep the search key for searching, although not voice searching, and the camera app as well.
In Market: $0.96
On XDA: Free
Using the search key instead of the screen to take the pic sounds REALLY useful though, must try.
Maybe a better thread name? or does this also remap to launch the camera app?

Orrr.......
Or get FX Camera Zoom... which allows you to remap to any button also does voice activation for the camera... plus more features... HD etc the list goes on

Yes, just search for the EViO rom and download the "Calkulin's_EVO_Default_Buttons.zip", it should work

For some reason, I've read it backwards
BTW, the task widget in that link works, but it's buggy.
It's not built for Sensation's screen...

Once you download it you'll need to put in on your memory card. After that you'll need a file manager (install ES file explorer or Astro file manager from the market). Than use the file manager to navigate to the apk on the memory card and start it
But you won't like the widget... The buttons are messed up.
Better get something different from the market

Hey thanks to all who answered me, sadly i do have to say it did not work the buttons were off center and it was a bit small but when you clicked the add button and then done it would not add a task but thank you for all your help it will help from here on.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but want to throw out an offer here rather than starting a new thread. I'd be willing to pay someone if they could get the task widget fixed to run on the Sensation. As stated in the thread, it works but its buggy. If interested, shoot me a PM.

Oh man, thats one of my favorite widgets from HTC. Hopes someone can modify it...

mine too! now i'm cnm 7.1.0.1 and the only thing that i realy miss is the htc note widget. how can i get it back?

Back to Sense ROM it's the only way to have sense widgets working.

I love that little apk too but sadly not able to use it on my sensation.
However, you can try TO DO LIST WIDGET (by Chrisbailey).
I use to replace Work 2.0. You need to change the default setting a little to make it look like Work. (The settings is very visualized and easy to setup.)
Although its not 100% the same (looks and functions similar enough though).

[Q] Genius Button on HTC Sensation...

Hi, I'm trying to replace the Voice Search of my HTC Sensation with the Mytouch 4g Genius Button app because of the fact it open apps and it has hands free mode, I extracted the apk's and lib files from my wife MyTouch and after moving the lib files to the lib folder and installing the apk's I could manage to get the call,send,handsfree,show me and check messages to work but the search, find and get directions option are not working everytime I try using them it gives me the "Sorry Connection Lost message" Please try again when you have service. Can someone please help me sort this out because it's driving me crazy I want to set this in my lock screen. Im going to post the files I extractedin the post below. any help would be greatly appreciated. Ican be contacted thru here or tweet me @eL_inc
Download link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6767376/Perfect Sense/GeniusButton.zip

The files will be up soon, first I need to have at least eight post to be able to post external links. PM me if you need the files in the meanwhile. thnx in advance

Just zip them up and attach them here
Btw there are two apks. You got them both right? And two libs.

I cant because they exceed the size limit... The only way is dropbox so i'll have to wait until i get to eight posts.

Yep... Two Apk's vmode.apk and vsuite.apk and the lib's are libvsuite.so and libvsuite_sharedlib.so
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6767376/Perfect Sense/GeniusButton.zip

This from the 4g or 4g slide?

Stock TMOUS 4g... Let me know if you need any file man & Thanks

Try flashing the Genius App that's posted in my sig. But, I think that app requires the actual phone to be a "Glacier"(board reference), and I'm certain the Sensation's board isn't glacier.

Just flashed your file, unlike any other file I tried this one flashed successfully but still the same problem, what else can it be, because everything else works except the ones that require internet/gps. I already have the file in the lock screen and is awesome just unlocking and say show me twitter and ta-dan!

Did you guys try " Launchkey" application? It gives you option of changing your Search key to any application or shortcut you want and works with long press.. Short press still opens search functions
Btw.. I have set it to Lock screen after installing " lock screen" application..(not widget)

Is there any way I could get my hands on the Genius button software for the myTouch 4g Slide, do you think it will mean any difference?? also, I was working rescaling the app and while I was working the XML's I tought to myself that it could be something with the permitions... If someone can tell me if there is any difference between the one from the 4g and the 4g Slide it would be greatly appreciated

It would be better to get the newest version from the mytouch by lg or the mytouch q by lg.

I don't know the exact differences...But, the one in my sig is from the MT4G's 2.3.5 update...And I think the MT4GS is also on same firmware...However it has sense 3.0 w/ mySense. I doubt they have major differences, but they're probably coded for specific phones. And when you should use button shortcut app, which is included in the .zip you guys dl'ed.

It sounds like you think you need the hardware buttons to use the genius button apk the fact is you don't! There is no need for the button at all. It is merely a shortcut, so that's not an issue. The mytouch by lg (not the mytouch q) doesn't even have the hardware button (the q does). Also I never downloaded the attachment in your sig. I pulled my own files from a system dump. I DID use the libs and apks from the slide, same issue.

I know you don't need the Genius button, on AOSP Roms, that button is just search, and Genius still works. That's why I think the app checks the phone being used, just like apps on the market; someone may need to decompile the app or w.e.

I'm still trying to figure this one out until the I will have to used the non-internet based functions, like call, send txt, show me app, and hand free. BTW Yesterday I used apktool to decompile it to check the xml's and the smali files but I ended up with a massive headeache... psst
