I am using Clean Rom 4.0 and I have search that forum many time looking for an answer.
Since the One X did away with the menu button, how do you access the menu in that that Rom.
For example, I have no way of closing my audible app now because is doesnt have a soft menu key in that app.
I used the muiu rom and it had the menu key to the right of the multitasking key. But alas, this rom does not do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and happy 4th!
the multitask button becomes menu and holding down home gets you the multitask function The way GOD intended
You apparently didn't search at all, your answer is on the first page
Thank you sir! Works like a dream!

@bloodrain954 I just double check the first page and all posts below, maybe I missed it but where did you see it on there? Not being smart, but I'd just really like to know where I missed it.

Scrossler mentions 3 button key remap in the OP but you'd have to know what that meant.

Ah gotcha, Yeah I didn't know what that meant as this is my first 3 button phone. Thanks again
Also, in case you don't know, long pressing the Home button acts as the Multitasking button.

I apologize ahead of time if this is the wrong section, or if someone already asked this, but is there a MOD to allow the power button to function as a shutter button for the camera on the Nexus S? I know there's one for the Nexus One. if anybody knows of one, please let me know through PM or email.
Thanks in advance.
I'm also curious about this. If anyone knows please post it here..
Thanks.

I'd like an app like this as well. I found it very awkward taking a picture using the touch screen. Seems pretty stupid to include a camera, and not a physical button for it.
Using the power button would be great, as you won't ever really want to turn off the screen with the camera on anyway.

I agree that it would great to have this as an option, but just as a counter-point: I regularly turn the screen off while using the camera app if I'm in a situation where I want to be able to quickly shoot a few pictures here and there while at a party or something similar.

Not sure if possible, but maybe it can be modified to only act as the shutter button while the camera app is running? I too use the power button regularly for turning off the screen. I am though annoyed having to press a button on the screen to take a pic. Probably the only issue I have with my NS at the moment

im sure this is possible. it was done on the i9k galaxy s model. the question is just when someone will
Hmmm, I wonder if Tasker could do this.
Edit:
It's easy enough to create a profile that does something if the power button is pressed when and only when the camera app is active, but I can't prevent the screen from turning off.
Wouldn't the volume up or down button be a better choice?

Not with Tasker. Tasker can't detect the volume buttons directly.

But it can be done indirectly.

That's a good point. I never thought of that. I mentioned the power button because it seems more convenient. But I like the idea of the volume button better. )

Hey, thanks for this! I didn't know it existed. I will install it and give it a shot. Will report on results later.

as far as i know there is no dedicated camera buttons like the XT720
but you could try those buttons REMAPing apps that was made for the Galaxy S phones
those should do the trick
I've not tried it personally yet, but i was also getting annoyed about not having a dedicated camera button

Tasker is awesome. The learning curve can be a bit steep, but it's definitely worth the effort. And the price.
With CameraPro app you can make Volume keys to act as a camera shutter very easily. Do it and let me know. If you get what you asked for then don't forget to press the THANKS button. All the best!

Ur correct, but....
Maybe PM the user since this thread is 2 years old.
But I'm sure by now they figured it out with ICS or the new JB since they asked January 2011

Here's a flashable zip to change your search button to shut screen off
For those that needs it and the lazy bastards that don't want to do it manually.
Nifty, I never use the search key so this may prove useful.
Perfect. I never use that button as well... Wonder if that button can be mapped to wake up screen as well??
That would be awesome but I think once the screen is off so does the soft keys as its an extension of the screen itself power wise atleast.
Screen on you can edit the soft keys to whatever you want
Screen off you're basically touching the screen when its off I.e nothing happens
It would be a different scenario if its a hard key
Has anyone flashed this yet? I never got around to it while I was on GB and it's not working on ICS. I don't want to declare that it doesn't work at all if it's only some difference with ICS or something with the alpha.

It may, when I get home from work I plan to try to reverse engineer both mods and see if any of it makes sense to me and can modify the search button for screen off. So long as they can be opened in a text editor I should be able to figure something out.

The zip for the search button mod, modify the actual buttons mapped out to specific numbers when its pressed for example for default the search button is 217 followed by 2 functions specified to it in /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
So when that button is pressed it is the value of 217 referencing what's defined in that file and yes its you can edit it with any editor.
Cool, thanks. I mostly follow what you're saying, but I'm better if I see it or have an exact example.

Pretty sure default has always been power+home. Power down doesn't do jack for me....well, it turns off my screen after my phone goes to vibrate.
Learn something new every day...
[POWER] + [HOME] on stock 1.85.
Power + down is the stock ICS way of doing it and it works...sorta. You have to get the timing right or else it'll just turn off your screen, bring your power menu up, or mess with your volume.
Power + Home is just so much easier though...

And nobody says there is anything wrong with that!
I was just pointing out the fact that HTC has included this feature since before Google decided to incorporate it in ICS.
Also, its interesting that HTC decided to include both their own method, and the Google way. HTC typically seems to prefer their own way of doing things, and removing the more "AOSP-ish" components.

Holding power and volume down at the same time is native to ICS and will save the screenshot to
/mnt/sdcard/pictures/screenshots
if I'm not mistaken. The One X can also take screenshots via home and power button. This will save the screenshot into a new folder DCIM or just drop them into /camera. I cant remember.

I hate the volume down+home, lol. When I hold the phone in my left hand and go to press home with my thumb it sometimes takes a screenshot.
On a random note, I feel like the HOX and a lot of other phones are easy to use one handed. I have slightly larger than average hands, but people should just put their pinky right under the home key on the edge if they need to. ANYWAY

And,

So...just checking; I'm looking to swap the "recent apps" and "back" buttons, which are off-display keys, of course. Don't suppose that's in some other file that I can change without root...somehow?
And if I really can't change them, how are after-market keyboards possible?
Keyboards are software.
You're looking to map hardware.
You need root to do that.
There are very easy Play Store apps that (once you're rooted) make it easy (I.e ButtonRemapper)

But of course I can't do that now, given that I can't even RUU back to 1.85.

Dude please: I despise the power button. It doesn't click right. I came from a S3 but left it because I hated the home button. Now I found this phone that I completely love,but I hate that button. What we need is a dev to get Sweep2Wake running like on the Tegra model

Yeah the power button could be more clicky. It is hard to press. What i did was flash cm9/10 and use volume wake. WAY better.
