A mod like one X to disable annoying ICS 3-dot menu button? - HTC One S

HTC One X has a mod to make the multi-task button as menu button and long press home for multi-task. Can we also have a mod like this? Is it possible to flash the package here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582506 ) directly? I can't bear the risk to test for myself. Sorry.

SVoice Home Button

Is their a way to get SVoice home button intergration like the galaxy s three
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Some custom ROMs for One X have an option to assign various functions for long press on the capacitive keys. One option is to launch a custom app. So you can install the S-voice app and assign it to the home key. I think I remember seeing this feature in LeeDroid One Xtreme. There are quite a few other ROMs with it too. Look through the ROM descriptions.

[REQ][MOD]Remove 3 dot menu for 1.84: long press home for menu, stock recent apps map

Looking to implement this on 1.84; I understand the keyboard layout remappings involved but I'm not sure how to modify policy for the long press home functionality.
So, if anyone could assist me in creating this (I'm a C# dev, but haven't ever tried to do anything on android), or already has it, assistance would be greatly appreciated!

There's a patch in the 3 dot thread already and I've seen a description of the procedure in the linked One X thread

OK...somewhere in the thread is the link to the One X thread documenting long press modifications. It's not just text files like the menu remap, you need to dissassemble modules to make the changes (search for smali/backsmali)

AOKP Milestone 6.2 - Can I remap the App Switcher back to its button?

I'm really enjoying AOKP over HTC's flavor of ICS, but there's one thing that really bothers me, and that's the app switching behavior. I know a lot of people prefer having a dedicated menu key, but I honestly don't care for it. I'd much rather use the on-screen menu buttons and have a dedicated key for app switching. Is there any way to change this behavior to mimic stock ICS, or is this something integral to AOKP and cannot be changed by a menu setting?
In a root explorer go to
system/usr/keylayout
and edit
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Then change the
249 to APP_SWITCH
Then there is line from Build.Prop that needs to be removed
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Or you could just hold down the home button which brings up the app switcher and then u have the best of both worlds

Editing synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl went fine, but I cannot find qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in /system/build.prop. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Did you reboot? And does the key work properly? Maybe in aosp roms don't need to have that line, it may auto detect and give you a menu key.

After I rebooted, the app switch key now brings up an icon-based Recent list, not the ICS task switcher. Also, apps still don't have any in-app menu keys. Going to revert so I can use apps properly again.

Try asking in the rom thread. I thought this might work, sorry it didn't.

Unfortunately, it seems that until I've reached a whopping 10 posts, I'm unfit to ask a relevant question in the appropriate development thread. I guess I'll just have to wait till I do hit 10 posts, or just hope that one of the devs sees the thread. Thanks anyhow.
I'm running Aokp milestone on my HTC One X. Is there a way to temporary disable the HTC home menu keys and just use the Galaxy nexus style menu keys?

I don't know if there's an option to disable the capacitive keys in Settings, but it's feasible to remap the buttons to nothing in /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl.

Remapping Menu and home button?

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.

My Apps Play Store

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.

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...
