Simple mod for those who don't use the search button all too often. You will need to have root permissions and ADB. This is not a rooting tutorial nor is it an ADB tutorial.
1. Download the two attached files.
2. Change the file extension to .kl
3. Push files to /system/usr/keylayout/
4. Reboot
When screen is on long press search and the camera app will launch.
Now, to figure out how to use the search button as a capture button once in the camera app

I didn't install the mod it didn't specifically state it did capture too, I thought it was just a remap from the search App to camera App... judging by your reply, I'm now assuming that it does both launch and capture pics....if so...sweeeeeet, ill login and click "thanks" on my puter

Not from the xda app...at least not yet, but I logged in and gave him thanks both on the op and the reply stating it does indeed include the capture option....
Thanks again for the great mod, I was looking forward to this mod and you popped one out pretty quickly, I'm starting to agree with everyone else that this phone is not only wicked fast, but the dev for it is too!! Soooooo glad I no longer gave my vibrant, I had that stuck on touchwiz for 2mo before any decent mods came out

Don't need ADB - Root Explorer handles it OK.
Had to download on computer, do 2. above, copy to device through USB connection, and move to 3. with Root Explorer. Then 4.

For those who don't know what you're replacing, if you long press the search button on an unmodified phone, it launches Voice Search. Just thought that should be mentioned here.
BTW, long pressing the menu key does nothing in stock. Is it possible to have that one launch camera instead of search? I use voice search in the car.

I didn't post detailed instructions for a reason. Someone who applies this mod clearly understands what he/she is doing. This replaces functionality of the search button to act as a camera button.
Long pressing menu has to be a feature in the rom, and not a simple remapping of buttons.
I tried it on the o2x and it launches the mirror app?
When i do the process through root explorer, i get a message that says the file system is read only. What am i doing wrong?
nvm, i figured it out
hey guys, i've searched like crazy everywhere and googled. i manually installed the official jellybean app using the aokp and gapps, now the integrated screenshot function is gone. i've tried everything to no avail. how can i get it back?

Press the power button and the volume down button for a few seconds,,,,,,and it takes a screenshot.
The softkey was removed from the navigation bar in the builds , but still works if you do what i said ,
Hope that helps..
Try also pressing power key for 3 seconds or so and see the menu if it contains screenshot option or no
Also try setting in aokp if you can change one of softkeys to screenshot again

It wasn't removed from aokp because that button never existed in aosp. The screen shot button is part of touch wiz. As others have said just use the native android method of pressing and holding power and vol simultaneously for about one second.
good day.
Yay thanks

You need to place the widget on the home screen and the device needs to be rooted.

Nice work @bender_007, have it on my wife's new AT&T D800 G2 which I received and rooted yesterday and also tried it on my Samsung GS4A, works great! A few observations, on the G2 Recovery goes to TWRP (AutoRec), but on my S4A it goes to stock recovery, probably due to the root implementation along with Safestrap. A final question, is it possible to add a "Download" mode? Thanks again for this app :highfive:

Yeah, actually I can add the download mode but then it would be a seperate app for sgs. Couldn't force the g2 to the download mode. I'll look into what safestrap is.
Hm..how do you reboot to recovery or BOOT to recovery? PM please

Thanks for the response, on my SGS4A, if you are referring to getting to stock recovery, we press VOL(+)/Home/Power simultaneously until the splash screen just appears and then let go.
I know that. Owned the s3. How do you enter the custom recovery if the stock recovery is still there?

Gotcha, well with the root on the SGS4, Safestrap has a boot screen upon reboot to either enter recovery or bypass and boot to system, though due to the root the app itself is broke.
Appreciate your widget. Would it be possible make it transparent and/or resizable?

This will make the launcher home screen 4 (wide) x 5 (high)
It will also make the app drawer 4 (wide) x 6 (high)
Only tested on Verizon GS5 (SM-G900V)
Flash using safestrap.
I'm new to modding so let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed or doesn't work right.
ENJOY!
Don't be shy with that Thanks button!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, make sure busybox is installed before flashing. It uses it to mount /system during the flash process.

I'm going to guess no but I'm not sure. The stock recovery probably requires a certain signature.

I was thinking about doing it if someone asked but after seeing how tedious the process is I'm not so sure.
I'm very used to "home" being in the middle, and not at the left end, of the home screens, so I'd really like to try this. But in the event I decided I didn't like it, how would I go back to the stock settings? Is there an "un-install" for this?
Edit - I just realized, having made a nandroid of the stock ROM with Safestrap, I could just restore that to get back to the factory setup on the home screens if I wanted to, right?

Well first of all this has nothing to do with where the home screen is, it just changes the grid size.
As for restoring, just make a backup of /system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk and if you want to go back just restore that file through safestrap.
This is just awesome, I was wondering if it is possible to make the icons a little bit bigger, and also wondering if we could have the Google search bar in every screen, like the Google launcher.
Thanks for the nice mod! !!

Thanks for clarifying that, but I immediately saw the first point above for myself. I made the mistake of assuming your modification would bring about every aspect of the picture you showed (in which your main homescreen is centered). Since that was the main reason I was looking at this modification, I decided to switch to Nova Launcher to get that feature. But thanks for the mod, and for answering my questions.
anybody know if this would work and is even needed on Alliance rom ?
If not needed.. how would I enable in Alliance ?

Yeah... when I change the option, it does nothing, even after UI restart. Good to know it will be fixed. not a fan of 3Minit.
I have a quick question. How do I go about flashing this if I wipe internal storage it will delete the file and I don't have an OTG device? Also does this rom automatically root the phone?

Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
Don't need to pre-root. Just flash custom recovery, full wipe except internal storage and flash the rom. Follow instructions closely if coming from stock.
Still, if having any issues once the custom Rom is running, you can then boot back into recovery and wipe internal storage then.

It wouldn't hurt, but an extra step that isn't really necessary. I'm sure we're going to get enough confused folks through here that have never been on a custom Rom. :sly:
