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)

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything related.
In later versions of Sense, the home screen app list is becoming the preferred way as apposed to recent apps in notification bar (which is my preferred way). But it's slow I think. There is a good 2 seconds before app list comes up after I keep home button pressed.
Is there any way to decrease this delay?

Oh btw, I'm on a custom rom, rooted, s-offed, the whole nine yards.

I want to know this too. I searched a bit, but did not find anything.
Mods, could you please move this to general android development or mods section?

I also need to know if it's possible to reduce the time between pressing home key and app list showing... On Android 4.1+ the "switch" button is very useful and instantaneous. Maybe there is a setting to change in some configuration file?
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.

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.
Hello all,
I recently installed CM10 nightly cm-10-20121012-nightly-evita on my HTC One XL. pretty much everything works great and I am liking the experience. Now I am coming from older cm7 tablet background and very new to HTC One X and CM10 etc. What I find missing is a missing settings button in the applications that I am used to which helps me configure the app. Am I missing something or is there a new way to get things configured ?
An example would be a simple app called basic stock. I add a stock to it and can not add any more stocks because there is no settings button. On my cm7 tablet I am able to do it easily. Similar experience with many other apps.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Deepee
Go to the settings app, when in there look for system and click on it. On the bottom it should say hardware keys, click on that.
At the bottom should be the setting for 3 button menu and I would advise to set another action with the home or apps button to bring up the menu with long press.

i always remap the keys and also enable the 3dot, i think these should be set as the default settings.

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...
