is this possible with android? in windows one way to do this is an application that intercepts signals from the keyboard and sends out what the user remapped the key to. i have no idea if the mapping for the keyboard is done in the firmware or something. i know physical buttons being remappable in custom roms, would this be the same case?
what i would like is to remap the search key into the multitasking button (recent apps)

Hello people here.
I want to use the home/back buttons for different purposes,that they are designed for. I am using AEBPlus software. With this software I am able to map much more functions on these buttons,but the problem is,these buttons are doing designed functions(home/back) also after mapping even they are unbinded from the system and handled by AEBPlus,so one click means 1click function and home/back at the same time. Anybody knows,how to disable default functionalities?
Thanks for help.
I have AE Buttons to ramap PTT with a long press to activate voice command. I use a 1 press to bring down the Start menu. But it also remaps the "Home" key to do the same. They seem to be locked together. Any thoughts. The descriptions of the buttons in AE doesn't do them justice. Can't tell what is what.
my PTT and Home button are mapped as the same for some reason.
when i use AEBPlus, i can do 1-3 clicks on the PTT, but i cant do the PTT Hold for some reason. any ideas?
I know how to reassign the PTT key but I can't figure out how to reassign the browser button on either the keyboard or on the screen that comes up when you open the keyboard ("Web Search"); I loathe Opera and would like to reassign both the button and the screen icon to either IE or maybe Fennec. Anyone know how to do that?
Hi all,
I am trying to remap my Raphael mute button (in the phone application) to a hardware key such as the back button using tarkims button config application. Does anyone have a list of think is classes? I need to see the correct way to identity the mute class to assign it to the hardware button.
tl;dr
How do I remap keys on the physical keyboard?
VoiceInput --> ALT
Emoticon --> ???
/tl;dr
Is there a way I could make the Voice Input key on the keyboard another Alt key? I never use voice input, but I find myself using exclamation points a lot. [I get excited about things. Don't judge me!] So I was wondering if we could remap keys like that. And since the Emoticon button only works in stock Messaging, that'd be a good one to replace, too, for those of us who are on other SMS apps.
EDIT: It seems I'd forgotten about this thread. The instructions work for remapping keys. I made VoiceInput another Alt, and I put VoiceInput on the Emoticon key.
So coming from gingerbread, I noticed a distinct lack of voice actions shortcuts. I have the ATT Samsung Galaxy S 2, which is currently experiencing a speed bump in kernel development. Consequently, I use the ics virtual buttons. Now, in Gingerbread, by holding the search key, I could activate voice actions from anywhere. I cannot do this in ics, because there is no search button on the virtual buttons. Instead, one must go to the home screen and launch it from the permanent search bar
So I propose this to the xda community: a voice actions key in the virtual buttons. It could just be a little mic silhouette, like the home button is a house silhouette. I know that there is a mod that makes a permanent search key in the virtual buttons, but I can't get it to work, so I don't know if a long press starts voice actions.
Is this possible or feasible?
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread
hopefully cm9 adds a way to customize software buttons
