Hi,
I want to change the middle "Show previews" button to function like a "menu" button, I have looked all over the internet but no one explains how to do it on one s.
is it even possible? and if yes then please let me know how
Thanks,
Jasmine.
The middle soft button on mine is the home button.. the recent apps button on the right can be used as a menu button. Settings, display, buttons and gestures. The rest should be pretty easy

On my N1 a long press of the menu button brought up the keyboard regardless of what app you were in. This is especially helpful in apps that assume you have a physical keyboard (e.g. androidVNC). With my Captivate holding the menu button brings up the Google quick search bar which I could care less about.
Is it possible to edit/change this function?
We can't get a stock Android ROM for this thing soon enough!
i was actually thinking about the same thing too.
Let me remind you, long press on the menu button is exactly the same function as short press on the search button, so we really need a "mod" that'll change the duplication function.
This would be really great. Does anyone have any ideas?

They have a thread going over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706426 about the touch keys and modifying them. It looks like the long key press stuff is in the kernel. Not much we can do at the moment.
Solution found,see this:

I have used this app before. . And its a wonderfull addon to the ui... But wen u double press the home button, you get the voice talk... And there is no search button for the galaxy note.. Has anyone successfully made it to run on the galaxy note..? If so how
Just downloaded this app, quite useful. WRT your question, I went into the voice app when you double tap the home button, then settings and disabled the option to launch when double tap home key. Now on one press of the home button brings up the power strip and then a second press takes me to my home screen.
Hope that helps

Thanx.. I didnt know that you could disable the double tap to open voice app.. I installed it and set it.. Wen i tap it once it opens the powerstrip and i have to tap again to go to the home screen.. Isnt their any setting on it so as to double tap to directly go to home without waiting for powerstrip to appear on your first click??
I've been a Power Strip user for quite a long time but then I switched to Wave Launcher. Does the same job but activating it is less troublesome for me (swipe up from the very bottom of the screen). Plus it looks better in my opinion.
search? press and hold the left soft button.

How do u set it up to use powerstrip?? Did u mean to long press the menu button?? I cant make it to work... How did u set it up?
Yup, long press (well, not that much, it appear really quickly). Btw I use launcher pro, but I don't think it's a feature of it (I mean, will probably do the same whit touchwizz or else).
Hi, I am running this ICS ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488101
I was wondering if I could disable the menu key so I could get the overflow menu in the top right corner, then turn the physical menu key into the multitasking button. How could I do that?

In order to use the SEARCH key as the POWER key, I tried to replace every 'SEARCH' with 'POWER' in the following files:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad.kl
After rebooting, it doesn't seem to work.
Could anybody tell me why?
I'm using application called "screen off and lock"
I made a shortcut to long press search button, simple and works well.

I know this app. But I want the SEARCH button works exactly the same as POWER: short press = lock; long press = power menu.
Also I would like to use NEXT/PREV buttons on my earphone as VOLUME+/-.
So I guess I have to modify the key layout.

By default, you can long press home.
You can go into Settings > Buttons and remap the buttons. I personally remapped Menu to Recent apps.

Sure if you want to, its called screen off. Or just enable Status Bar Double Tap to Sleep.
