Hi there,
With the new jog dial button on the Hermes this actually makes the xda usable without the stylus.
One question. Does anyone know how the Push an hold registry works for keys.
Currently the record/speech button has two functions which can be assigned to it eg. "push" and "Push and hold"
The registry settings in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/shell/keys
have entries 40C1 to 40C7.
Currently I have the task switching functinality programmed onto the comm button but I wouldn"t mind Programming the comm button with a hold functionality for the original comm button functionality. And then having the ok button on hold to actually close programs rather than minimise them.

Push and hold is a software specific implementation by the Voice Recorder app - according to the SDK
Use a button mapper like that by Vito and PocketMax to implement press and hold.

To manage phone calls on Nexus, it is very painful if we are using some launchers that does not build in bock bar as same as Helix2 launcher.
Is it possible to port soft keys (back, menu, home & seach) for other uses?
For example, Change "Search" key to "Phone" function.
It is because of that I seldom use "Search" key but often use "Phone" function.
Here is one idea ...
Press "Search" key will trigger GlobalSearch.apk on /system/app/. Can we rename Phone.apk into GlobalSearch.apk then replace it on /system/app/ in order to change "Search" key's habit?
the dialer one app let's you long press search to open the dialer. its a good dialer replacement, check it out.

You can remap Search Long Press for anything you want.
Check out Button Shortcut on the Market: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.socialnmobile.buttonshortcuts/
(You can't remap any other button.)
I am currently using a pair of skullcandy/rocnation aviators and they have an inline control module with a mic and three buttons, the center button works fine, pause play, answer end and such, and the mic works fine, however the volume buttons do not work nor are the commands even recognized by the system from what i can tell, is there any way to make this happen on android, im running 2.3.3 btdubbs
ha, disregard the extra Q up there
Search for Headset Button Controller in the market; there is also a trial version (I recommend this to see if it works obviously) No guarantees but I know it allows you to change button assignments; It works on Samsung headphones I believe.

The Infuse only supports one inline button by default. I don't know if there's a way to get the other buttons working with a mod, but the volume buttons are only made to work on iDevices.

andriod doesn't support additional buttons. there are apps that let you use the center button with gestures. (multi press or long press) to do a number of things. sorry not the answer you want to hear but even the developers of these apps say its a framework limitation. could an experienced developer change this in a Rom? well I wouldnt say its impossible but I wouldnt be too optimistic about seeing this any time soon.
I recently got Camera Zoom FX on my phone and there is the option to take pictures with the Volume Key. The problem is when I press it, it makes the ding noise from when you lower or raise the Notification Volume. Is there a file to delete so I won't have the sound anymore. I have my HTC Sensation rooted.
Try this!
I believe if you download root browser... You can open system->media->audio->UI and there should be a a file in there that youre looking for... I think volumeincremental.ogg. Delete this file. It should stop the sound when you press the volume keys.

how can we map the volume button so as to launch camera on long pressing the volume button??
I don't think that's possible, you can remap the camera to another button tho.
If you are on gsnap by neko or cm7 you can go to setting > cyanogenmod settings > input > search key behavior > check long press search app > then press custom application > application > choose camera app in that list > voila
Now you can long press search key and camera app will launch
Any other button other than search button

search key as camera button
it can be possible to remap search key as camera key.
- If you are using stock 2.3.3 firmware, go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and copy thunder_keypad.kl to a pc
- if you are using CM7, go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and copy qwerty.kl to a pc
- if you are using ICS, go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and copy thunder_keypad.kl to a pc
- (i never tried this on jb but it should be just like on ICS)
then, open the file *.kl with an text editor (i recomend notepad++). every line starts witn this synthesis:
key [nº of the key] [function] [restriction]
/*the restriction says if a button can work with screen locked or not. WAKE alows a key to work even if the phone is locked, WAKE_DROPPED restrict a key to work only if the phone is unlocked */
look for the line that has the key Nº 217. it will looks like this:
key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
change the SEARCH word to CAMERA
then, save the file and push it to /system/usr/keylayout/ overwritting the existing one
WARNING: DO an nandroid backup before do this...
PD: in stock ROMs, the stock camera will not recognize a camera button for take a pictute or record video, a third party camera app will do it.
Button Remapper! On XDA somewhere. Sorry
