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.

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...

Does anyone know if u are able to reprogram the search button as multitasking? If not is anyone here capable and willing to reprogram it for some of us who I'll use it because I rarely touch the search button. Anyone else would like this except for me? Btw I'm running eagesblood, Thanks in advance
I second that request. That'd be way more useful than the search button
Do you mean the recently used/running task list? That's accessed by pressing home one the first home screen.

I would love this. Seem to remember CM7 having custom application launching for touch and hold search button so it might be a feature that just hasn't been implemented yet.
I have seen customizable keyboard modifications for devices with physical keyboards in order to remap some of the less useful keys to something worth while. When I have more time I may try to dig it up and see how complicated it is. Anyone care to tackle this? I probably don't have the knowledge to complete.

I know u can long press home but that is time consuming sort of in a way and I get annoyed by doing it.

You can customize the home key in cm9 like you can customize the search key in cm7. You need to install Apex launcher. It have a lot of features you would like. This launcher do everything like cm7. Try it out.

Can you just remap it with Button remapper or Tasker?

Button remapper won't work because it doesn't remap the long press stuff like multitasking.

Yeah that is is, has anyone tried this yet on our phone? I went back to cm7 so can't try this atm. Ill switch back to ics when i don't need my phone for anything important.
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.
I know that button remapper is good for the skyrocket softkey function editing, but I would like to change the search key to open an app, and also rebind a long press function.. any suggestions?

Look for button saviour on the play store maybe that could help but if anything majority of Rom let you pick a default app to use I'm guessing slim bean and my remapping is awesome

I am quite content with my GB NexusMod, however I cannot find a place in the settings to remap default apps. Isn't that standard with all roms? I tried button saviour pro and it is a piece of trash. I merely want to press the search key when on my home page and have the DuckDuckGo app pop up, just like the Google Search app did before I uninstalled it. Any suggestions?
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access the settings menu for this app. There is no '3 dots' anyway in the app! Any advice from other users?
Try long press recent apps

Thanks, configured my button to open the menu (without configuration, this wouldn't work).
I know this ROM used to have an option to enable long press on the back button to kill the current app. I think it used to be under developer options. Anyway, on the latest Beanstalk Build I can't find the option anywhere (I'm probably blind). Could someone point me to it please? I've found other threads with mods to enable this function, but I know it used to be built in to the ROM so I don't want to install a Mod if I don't need to.
Thank you!
PS Scott is awesome!

Wonderful! Thank you.
To clarify for anyone else reading: Settings > System > Hardware Keys > Enable Custom Actions
Back key (long press) = Kill app
I use the onscreen buttons and the back to kill app stopped working for me. No idea why.

Hey thanks for this, have been looking for that option for a while now. Never even noticed it was in that menu all greyed out lol
Thanks, i was also searching for it.
