Does anyone know if u are able to reprogram the search button as multitasking? If not is anyone here capable and willing to reprogram it for some of us who I'll use it because I rarely touch the search button. Anyone else would like this except for me? Btw I'm running eagesblood, Thanks in advance
I second that request. That'd be way more useful than the search button
Do you mean the recently used/running task list? That's accessed by pressing home one the first home screen.

I would love this. Seem to remember CM7 having custom application launching for touch and hold search button so it might be a feature that just hasn't been implemented yet.
I have seen customizable keyboard modifications for devices with physical keyboards in order to remap some of the less useful keys to something worth while. When I have more time I may try to dig it up and see how complicated it is. Anyone care to tackle this? I probably don't have the knowledge to complete.

I know u can long press home but that is time consuming sort of in a way and I get annoyed by doing it.

You can customize the home key in cm9 like you can customize the search key in cm7. You need to install Apex launcher. It have a lot of features you would like. This launcher do everything like cm7. Try it out.

Can you just remap it with Button remapper or Tasker?

Button remapper won't work because it doesn't remap the long press stuff like multitasking.

I know that button remapper is good for the skyrocket softkey function editing, but I would like to change the search key to open an app, and also rebind a long press function.. any suggestions?

Look for button saviour on the play store maybe that could help but if anything majority of Rom let you pick a default app to use I'm guessing slim bean and my remapping is awesome

I am quite content with my GB NexusMod, however I cannot find a place in the settings to remap default apps. Isn't that standard with all roms? I tried button saviour pro and it is a piece of trash. I merely want to press the search key when on my home page and have the DuckDuckGo app pop up, just like the Google Search app did before I uninstalled it. Any suggestions?
None
Will try and get back.
I however would have liked it better integrated into Primo Launcher as I dislike installing a lot of little apps called plugins to fill gaps in a launcher.
Cheers!

Wasn't primo launcher the one that stole Apex's work and shared as their own???

With similar success you can claim that every Linux distribution steals from every other one because they all share the same core.
Great apps. I really like this primo apps. I am using its launcher in my another set . After that i forget apex or nova. This primo app provide me a new life on my gb based phone . This gesture is perfect except please provide the option to move floating icon to anywhere.

Mod Edit: Profanity
Hope you can make a new launcher soon!
Primo was quite better than Apex... :crying:
If possible make a new primo launcher with same features as before but support gb+.
it's working good for me. I like that you can use a custom image and change the opacity. One suggestion I have would be to make a black background or custom background appear when triggered instead of a darkened settings menu. Just my two cents...
Edit: I j just noticed that this'd only happens if you exit the app from the app's settings menu. If you press back to get out of there menu then it doesn't bring up the settings menu when triggered. Does that make sense?

Wooow this is fantastic and accurate. Great job
Edit: long pressing the search button doesn't work, the language option has 2 prompts

Just released Primo Gesture v1.1... Please check it out and update
Would it be possible to have multiple buttons at the same time? also sizing them in rectangular shape? I'd like to be able to have some thin but long area to tap on both sides of the screen

I mean the touch button left of the home button. Long pressing it opens Google search, but i disabled that and primo gesture still doesn't open.

That doesn't seem like an issue with Primo Gesture. If you used another app to remap that button, then it began acting just like 'Search', not long press on Search, i.e. long press on that button is like what would otherwise be a short press on 'Search'.

I didn't use any app to remap that button, long pressing it started Google search by default, so i thought it was something kind of like a search button... Guess I'll have to put up with the icon in the notification bar

I am trying to remap the menu button to pull up the recent app and long press from menu. Then have long press of the home button pull up Google now. I am able to easily do this with CM, but I want to have this feature and run AOKP.
Did some searching on this. I know you can got to the file in system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl and edit the remapping of the keys. The closest I could get was changing key 139 to "App_switch" but this brings up the old gingerbread app switcher and not the multi task menu.
If someone could lead me in the right direction that would be great.
Good question. I sign looking for a way to program my back button to long press=kill.

Would you consider changing ROMs? RootzBOX has the options you are seeking. It also has all of the AOKP features as that is its base.
This might be a stupid question but.
I have 4.2.1 now on my HTC One S thanks to Dark Jelly, but how do I get to My Apps, and My Wishlist in the playstore?
I'm not sure how that rom exactly works, but try holding down the recent apps button for context menu.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Yea holding that down does nothing.
Might be a problem with the ROM, not sure. I guess I should post over there.
*yup, a setting on the rom.
Settings-- system-- hardware keys
From there you can set one of the keys to be a shortcut to the menu (long press recent apps key is what I use). Hope that is what you're looking for...

I know this ROM used to have an option to enable long press on the back button to kill the current app. I think it used to be under developer options. Anyway, on the latest Beanstalk Build I can't find the option anywhere (I'm probably blind). Could someone point me to it please? I've found other threads with mods to enable this function, but I know it used to be built in to the ROM so I don't want to install a Mod if I don't need to.
Thank you!
PS Scott is awesome!

Back key (long press) = Kill app
I use the onscreen buttons and the back to kill app stopped working for me. No idea why.
