anybody know the softkey binding for the multitask/recent apps button so i can bind it to my hardware menu button? the softkey i'm talkiing about is the right of the three navigation buttons.
also, does anyone know how to bind "back" to my right click?
thanks
There is one that is RECENT_APP but it isnt quite the same menu. it shows all the recent apps, but you cant use that menu to swipe apps away. you can access this menu also by ALT+TAB then hold down ALT while selecting.
yeah alt+tab is not what i am looking for. i need the one where you can swipe apps away
i have been scouring the entire internet to be able to do it myself. But I cant seem to find anything on it. I did find one article about doing it on a phone with its hardware keys, but i couldnt get it to work one the dock.

forgive my ignorance but I already tried to search but can't seem to find the right keyword for this.
Q:
Is there a way or program that will let me lock my device using hw button then unlock it by pressing combination of hw buttons. I want to have this without using the qwerty keyboard but instead just the buttons on the front or sides.
Thanks!

My friend I believe you may have just been looking in the wrong place.
Here is (what I think) is exactly what you are looking for.
It is called Screenlock 1.4
Here is the product's home page if you would like to read more about it.
PocketEvolution.com:
You will find the download attached to my post as it is freeware.

Since i use vegan tab and have all the soft buttons on the screen at all time (home, menu, back) is there anyway to disable the capacative ones so that i dont actually hit them while holding the tab?
bump ^^^ anyone??? robeet?
I asked something like that earlier, but no one responded. There's a thread under Themes and Apps about Settings Catcher. Maybe a concept like that could be used, in the opposite way (assign invalid activities), to essentially make the keys do nothing?

This is definitely possible to do.
Use Root Explorer to go to /system/usr/keylayout. I am guessing it's the file gpio-keys.kl in that directory.
For a guide as to how this works, check out this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm guessing you can map those keys to something like ENDCALL that doesn't have a meaningful activity associated it with it on our tablets. Or maybe there's a null activity or something like that.
You'll have to experiment a bit. I haven't tried any of this yet myself.
hmmm, pull out the device back and unclip it?
Seriously though, I'm not certain. Possibly it's linked to the file /usr/keylayout/tegra-kbc.kl. So you might be able to REM out some of these and it could actually disable the tactile buttons.
How would you get out of a full screen app that hides the status bar?

Yeah i didnt think of that. damn... its just annoying when im in the browser or something and i hit it by accident
I was hoping to find an app/hack that would let me set the duration of a soft key press required to register as a stroke. It would then be easy to make a widget to turn the delay on and off for times when you know you will be more prone to bump the buttons.

I'm bumping this to see if anyone has any ideas on the above or disabling them completely. I (or one of my kids) *always* bump one of the capacitive buttons while using the gtab. It is frustrating, infuriating even, when you're in the middle of something and BAM, you have to start over.
TIA!
If you could get rid of the buttons you can just use button savior. I'm using the zeam launcher in fullscreen and barely ever touch the buttons on the side now

I use 'Button Remapper' to map the hard buttons to 'focus' which effectively disables them. I then use 'Buttton Savior' to provide on-screen buttons.
Works well and ends the frustration of the buttons not being back-lit or accidently hitting them when holding the tablet.
Thank you! I think that will do the trick. Do you use the galaxy tab version?
ETA: just searched the market from my Droid and saw a third vanilla version of button remapper. I will go with the assumption that its this one.

I think I use the recent apps button more than any other button on the screen or the dock. Does anyone know if there is a short cut for that button built in to the dock? Maybe a key combo or something? I love how easy it is to switch between apps with that button, but I sometimes wish I didn't have to tap the bottom of the screen to do so.
Does anone know of a keyboard shortcut to do this?
As far as I can see, there is no such thing. This and the lack of accidental touch filtering on the trackpad are the only negatives that I've found in the dock.

The "function" key to disable the touchpad works wonders.
Have you guys tried holding down the home key on the keyboard?
Yes. No dice.
FN+ Home? Maybe shoot an email to asus and see if it's something they will add, or is super hidden.
(I'm just throwing things out there I don't have one, lol)
Hey all,
So I just recently bought the keyboard dock (a little late to the game I know ) and I was wondering if I could add some functionality to it.
First am I able to change what apps open with the function keys? Mainly I want to change the browser button so that it opens Chrome Beta instead of the stock browser.
Also can I add keyboard shortcuts in various apps? Specifically is there any way I can add cntrl+T or cntrl+F etc to Chrome Beta?
Finally, when I lock my screen using the lock function key I cannot turn the screen back on without reach up and clicking the button on the tablet. Is there a button on the keyboard that does this? Does it not work in ICS?
That's about all I can think of right now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know the answers on all your questions yet.
You can bring your tablet to life by swiping your finger over the touchpad, then press the home button to unlock.
Don't think there is a function to attach buttons to self-defined apps for now, anybody: correct me when i'm wrong.
See here for the browser button issue. As far as remapping other keys, that's dependent upon each application.
And if the TF101 w/ ICS is anything like the TF201, there should be a setting for dock power saving. If it's enabled, then the tablet won't wake up to key presses on the dock.

Thanks for this! I was wondering how to do this. I just recently gave out trying to figure it out since the key press is one inch away from my screen icon LOL. I have to say, Google needs to replace the stock browser with Chrome in future Android versions. What an improvement!!
Nice bike in your avatar. Here's my track monster after I mangled my old racebike.

Hello
Is that possible ? the factory combination of pressing vol plus power button is tricky or at least I like to save the power button as much as possible...
Any useful idea is appreciated..
Thanks

as well i do know tat Mohan_kr maker of Embryo was able to remap. maybe a quick PM to him might also help since i searched and cant find anything
after a little more research i was able to find out the that it can be change in the residing location: /system/usr/keylayout or in the framework. sorry couldnt be much help but this is what i could find

Thanks for your input ... I am not looking for an app as most of them filled with silly ads or taking unnecessary resaurces ... I need to mod system to remap some key to take screen shots ... And I guess you're right it's somewhere around /system/usr/keylayout
Afaik not possible in stock but aokp/cm9+10 allows that remap in settings

There is an app called "screenshot er" that lets you take screenshots by holding down the search key, and it has a delay that you can set for however long you want, and it works amazingly well. No extra crap, just a really good app. I know it's not what you want, but it's worth checking out.

i agree with atrix ive used then Screenshot er app before the remmaping became available and works flawless
The power button and home key works for screen shots

I know this is an old thread, but all the screenshot remapping threads seem old, so I'm hoping I can get some help here anyway. My stock ICS on my S2 has home+power for screen shots. Hardware buttons died (home, menu, back, search) so i use softkeys to navigate, (Button Savior, works amazing, saved me a major headache) never the less, the screen shot doesn't work by pressing power and the home soft key. I've used other roms, like CM, where the screenshot is power+vol down and i want to use this method on my stock ICS. I to, don't want an app to do it, i just want power+vol down
Been trying to use xposed additions to remap for screenshot. not working so far and unsure of reasoning why, even bought the pro version to allow a multi step action to occur
