Although the question has been asked, nobody seems to be entirely clear on whether there is a -free- method of remapping the Facebook button to another -application-
So far, all I can find is the "F-button Lite" which is free, but does not allow full functionality, and "F-button Full" which is a paid app. There is also another paid app in the market that allows this functionality.
There are mentions of methods to remap the button to -other phone functions- such as camera, or turning the phone off.
However, the question which I'm having a hard time finding an answer for is how to remap this button to -open another application- such as twitter, or (in the case of a custom rom, which has HTC's facebook applications removed) to open the original "Facebook for Android" application.
Could someone please answer this in full detail?
I do not have a Google Wallet account, and I have no intention of getting one. Therefore I have no easy method(that I know of) to pay for this app.
PS: My device is rooted, so I don't mind answers that require such. but if anyone has alternative methods for those who do not have rooted devices, please feel free to also answer.
Hi Kronflux, search for Fakebook.apk on this forum. It is in non-english launguage. But that should not matter as it is easy to use. Helps to assign two apps, one for single press and one for double press of button.
Hope this helps.

Hi ,
I Have a very good idea for an app that is rather simple but very useful. It involves simply a Specific picture which you can zoom and pan around then there are a few text boxes I want included in the app to search.
For example , A route finder that is already on the internet. You enter the details on the box on the computer then the results come up. But i want the boxes off the website and instead linked to my app , then the results appear on my app. So a search function is possible via the application.
The problem is I am a total newbie to codes etc and haven't got a clue where to start in the least. The app is very simple and an experienced person could create it in know time but I am a newbie and willing to learn to create some useful apps to put on the market free for all to share.
Thanks

Have a look at the Android Developers website
Hi ,
Thanks for that , I've had a look but it is so so confusing :S
Oh yes , and if it counts I'm going to be using windows vista to create the app?? Is there possibly a beginners guide to creating these apps or what??
Oh yes and I have now got one part sorted (sort of) , I will use the image viewer already on the phone to allow the scrolling and zoom of the image.
Anyone got an idea how long it would approximately take to create such an app??
Topic pretty much says it all. I would really like to replace the tutorial button with a speech to text button on the swype keyboard. Anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks,
Travis

That tutorial button serves a number of purposes and shouldn't be replaced.
Yes, it's like swype's main menu. I mainly use it to delete gibberish words that I end up adding when I'm on a swyping marathon. It's also useful to correct a word that's already been swyped.
Not to sound like an ass, but my question was not what the button was for. I know that already, I have only actually used it once after a few weeks with the phone. There is also another way to get to that same menu. So for ME, changing the key would be useful. I was under the impression that making my phone more usable for ME was what android was all about. If I wanted to be told how to hold/use my phone I would have just bought an iphone 4.
Again I do not want to be an ass, but this is the 2nd time(first not at xda) I have been told the purpose of something instead of getting an answer to my question.
So please anybody, is there a way that I can change the swype key to something else(speech to text)? If so what do I need to go about doing.
I would just like a straight yes or no answer, and some direction.
Thanks,
Travis
You probably shouldn't have called it the "tutorial key" then. It made you sound like you had no idea what you were talking about.
Hello, I believe the captivate and vibrant are similar so this may be of use to you:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742084
I know it's not changing the swype button to a voice button, but it is adding a voice button which is half of what you asked for
Best of luck!

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/is-there-a-way-to-edit-the-share-menu
Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.
You have an idea, I will write app for you, Request here ^^
Sorry for my bad Englishm I am a develeoper now, i think everybody need some "Small" Apps to use everyday

I have 2 ideas.
Hi.
I have 2 ideas (requests?).
1. Like a monolingal which is a OSX's program. It will keep some locales which we chosed and delete the other languages.
2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).
Cheers.
another idea: an app that turn screen on a black screen and the icon of notification whenever notification come up (and screen is turn off of course). can you?
An app that lets me see the history of my notifications, even those i've already seen

Game porting
An app for porting armv7 games to armv6. Basically, modifying the .lib files. Also resizing the drawable and re positioning it to fit other resolutions in proportion.

How about an app that modifies the original Samsung keyboard to allow text shortcuts (i.e. when "u" is typed it automatically replaces it with "you")

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store
I have a question about How to adding/creating "how-to" popup ("Swipe down from the top to exit full screen") at the beginning of an app?
I was just checking out Google Play Books app, when I opened the app, a pop "Swipe down from the top to exit full screen" appeared. I was looking for something like this to implement on my app.
If there is someone who know how to do it or any tutorial or anything like this, please help.
Thanks
Just use an entry in SharedPreferences.
When your app starts, check wether the key already exists, if not, the user (probably) just installed your app, otherwise he has used it before.
EDIT: So you have to save this key after having found out the user is new, so it won't be shown again at the next app start.
DQQpy,
I believe the question was not answered, as I also have the OPs question. How do I make those instructions and visual aids that will provide that experience to the user on first use?
Your original answer though is helpful, as it indicates how to see if this will need to be done or not, but does not fulfill the entirety of what was being asked for.
If anyone else can chime in and help, I would really like to be able to add this into an app I am working on.
Oh okay, and what do you mean with Pop-Up? Perhaps a dialog? Can't post link, just google "android dialog".
