If it's anything like some of the other ones...its probably press and hold Home or press Recent Apps buttons. Try that out. The capacitive buttons have been remapped alot on this phone.

Thats correct, it seems that the majority of people dont like the 3 button bar (me being in the minority of liking it)
A couple of roms have put out things that you can flash after installing to get it back, but youl just have to wait until the developer gets the time to do that, if ever.

For those that don't use it for anything and want to disable it cause you accidently hit it 10 times a day, flash the disable zip. If you want to enable it again, just flash the default zip
does that take care of the button completely or just it's long-press function?
Nice work! Do you think you could make it so i can hit the volume up button to bring the phone out of suspend instead of hitting the power button?
Both of the .kl files are the same...just giving ya a heads up before someone restores the default and doesn't have their search button back...but nice find. Thanks!
The default one was the one I forgot to put in there but it's fixed now

Completely disabled
Besides disabling the search button, is it possible to map it to do something else like launch internet or something of that sort?

Its probably not built into the Sense build on the device. It used to be, but idk anymore since it isn't required by Android 2.0+
Also, to the people that want it to do something else:
See my post here. My guide is from way back in the G1 days, but all the same things apply here. Just change file names. An interesting use would be to change the search button to a camera button
Or see Decad3nce's wonderful writeup on the functions you can assign here. For the CDMA Hero, again just use your judgement. Use the right files
Also, my app Search2Play will soon be making it's way to the Evo now that we have usermode system partition access. Check it out here
Nice! Thanks for this, I always hit that button by accident.
Thank you! That damn button annoys the hell out of me everyday
Strange. I love the search button and use it all the time to text, call, launch apps etc.
Glad this is helpful to all the rest!
thanks!! i hit that damn button all the time

this looks sweet!
calkulin, would you be okay with me adding this to the online kitchen im slowly building for the EVO?
i'll link it back to this thread and credit your name.
If your looking to use the volume down you can just open the keymap~.kl file included in the zip with wordpad and swap the volume down and power or how ever you like. Just realize that the cap buttons won't work in place of the hardware buttons.
I posted a fix that swapped the volume down and the power button.
Nice fix tho.

Is it possible to get the volume to do the wake feature while also keeping the volume buttons working like normal?

Get no lock from the market.
Volume down takes you streight into the phone no lock screen.
Was curious if any of you guys were working on, or know of a program that can act as a back button or menu button, on screen. My home row keys are taking a beating, and normally cause to much hand adjustment to use them.
Just a thought.
I was thinking maybe swype like actions for the back button, etc...
I've tried button saviour, but didn't like it too much.
Thanks for reading and replying.
"Softkeys for root users" might be what you're looking for.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Download Button Savior from the Market. Alot more friendly to the eyes and a heck of a lot easier to use than Softkeys. I use it on my Nook as well.
tried softkeys, wow, that is a difficult program to use, but looks great.
I will have to go back to button savior I guess, and make it work.
Thanks for the replies.
Hope this helps you.

Its not hard to use. Its hard to configure properly.
When you install, hit the home button and choose softkeys as your default home. This will allow softkeys to intercept the home button call.
Then, in softkeys, program it so one push gives softkeys and 2 pushes gives you "home" (<--- specify which home app that you want softkeys to call upon double click)
I also put the back and menu buttons (on my Nook Color) in the notifications area to have easy access to them those as well.
Thanks! I just noticed I had a pm, and this is apparently where all the posts, I followed, made apparently get moved to!
I thought I was crazy.
Sorry I did a search on this and I could not find anything. I just got my G tablet from woot today and I could not get the "MENU" button to work. It is the button below the home button and above the back button. I've used all the apps and whenever I hit the menu button nothing comes up, is this normal?

Depends on the app as to whether the menu button does anything. Some apps simply do not havea menu.
When you press the menu button while on the main screen does anything happen? It should take you to the settings options, no?

I think this is normal, that button does not seem to do anything in most stock apps. Try opening up the es file explorer and pressing it.

oh wow you got it..I tried this on music, browser, and like 10 million other apps and none of them seem to work. thanks a bunch..at least I know the menu button is working fine...
SIDE QUESTION: anyone know how to choose camera pictures or non-stock pictures as wallpaper? I can't seem to figure this out...spend like an hr on this..
EDIT: Nvm flashed to TnT and I don't have to worry about this anymore. worked great
Hi.
In a recent update to chrome there were three dots added to where the tabs button used to be, I find this very annoying and don't need it since the Note 3 already have a button for that next to the home button..
There simply is no reason for it to be there and was wondering if there is a way to disable it?
Also, a while back the refresh button was removed which also was a very bad move in my opinion, I'd much rather have that than this useless menu button.
Thank you in advance.

The bottom button is not yet possible. There are only SPay. Perhaps there will be third-party software. You can go to the top. Everything is in the settings.

Same here. I really don't understand why Samsung did not allow us to use the "Press once" and "Double Press" on the back button! Ridiculous
Definitely need full button change options...
Downloaded an app called Button Launcher, tried to remap the second button long press to Google Pay but unsuccessful, still defaults to Samsung Pay.
