Changing Button Functions - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone had any luck remapping the hardware buttons. I'd like the follow sort of layout:
Home > Home
Long Home > Google Now
Menu > Recents
Long Menu > Menu
I can't see a way to change the long press functionality in the key file. Has anyone had any luck there?
I'm on SlimSaber 5.02 so I can't run the exposed stuff.
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you clarify 'works perfect' on the TG01 - I am using the (registered) Buttons Plus, but have only been able to get it to support a single alternative button press on the Camera, bottom 'Zoom' bar and right-hand 'OK' button.
Could you please share your settings which allow you to get it to work with multi-settings per button, and also specify buttons are you able to get it to work with ?
Would be really appreciated
Many thanks,

As known, TG01 don't have hardware buttons....so when I say "perfect" I mean as perfect as possible....
I don´t use camera button (I'm afraid camera could fail)
I'm using only volume buttons and the zoom bar.
Volume UP:
1. Single press: PageDn
2. Double press: PageUp
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Volume DOWN:
1. Single press: "Resco Audio Recorder -rec"
2. Double press: "Resco Audio Recorder -exit"
3. Triple press: Switch Display Off/On
Zoom bar: (Button #405C)
Alt+Tab (Change between opened apps)
How to map zoom bar:
a) Open AEBPlus (I have v2.6)
b) Tap Left softkey: File
c) Add button
d) Add Key (Touch the zoom bar: The program detects Key code 405C as Win Key)
e)Tap Add Key
You'll have a new button called Button #405C
Tap & Hold over the new line (Button #405C) and assign Alt+Tab to it
The program ask to self reset, say Yes and .... here you are!
some doubts
You seem knoweleagble: I would like to receive your suggestions
I onw two units of HD2, I am trying to understand how to use AE buttons, then I will surely buy it, but I have many doubts…
Questions:
1. Where can I find a complete tutorial?
2. Where can I find a help, to understand each functions? I mean, not FAQ, just a help file.
3. from AEBPlus Settings > add button > ONLY 2 hardware buttons can be captured (the one with white backspace arrow on it and the home with a home depicted on it)
the other 5 buttons cannot be sensed: I mean
- phone button: if pressed the phone canvas appear, the ADD KEY screen disappears and no key code appears
- same story for the phone-OFF button and for the volume up and volume down buttons.
4.
Since at least one button is recognized (the white backspace) I have set it to work as follows:
1st short press > open contacts
2nd key press > open excel
3rd key press > open opera
4th key press > calculator
But ONLY short press and long press do work! The other 2 cannot work (Therefore I cannot open excel and opera…)
Additionally: if I want to open CONTACTS, I just need to press short and CONTACTS application appears on my screen
If I want to use CALCULATOR > I need to press AND HOLD! If so CALCULATOR shows up. If I pull off my finger from the hardware button > calculator disappears and the home page comes back…
Please can you explain what I am doing wrong?
Thanks and waiting for any help and suggestions

CM10 double click to Google Now

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there was a way to enable double click home to google now.
I know I can set it to long press menu to google now but it would be nice to just double click the home button.
Thanks for the help!
Settings - system - hardware keys - enable custom action - set long press home button to search assistant. Then I set long press menu key to the recent apps tasker cuz it was previously empty. This gives long press home key to Google Now and menu long press to tasker. It may be the closest thing you'll find.

[Q] How to avoid accidentally exiting camera app?

Maybe I just have meaty digits, but I often find that when I'm trying to take a picture, my thumb will graze the hardware back button and exit the camera app completely. Then I have to reload the camera app and I've totally missed the moment.
I finally got fed up and switched to the soft navigation bar - in CM11, it's under Settings > Buttons > Enable on-screen nav bar - but it's not a very elegant solution.
Ideally, while I'm in the camera app, I'd like the phone to require a long press of the back button to exit. But I don't know of a way to conditionally remap the hardware keys - e.g. "if CAMERA is running, remap Back Key short press to NULL and remap Back Key long press to BACK."
Any suggestions?

Trouble with APP-SWITCH & MENU key

Hello,
First post I have rooted my Oneplus one yesterday, after that my MENU key and recent app (APP-SWITCH) has been set back to default
Long Press - APP-SWITCH & Short press - Menu
I wanted to interchange both keys Long press - MENU & Short press - APP-SWITCH
Then I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733811 for switching keys
I have replaced
(key 139 MENU) with (key 580 APP-SWITCH)
Now my APP-SWITCH key is working but MENU is not working please help me sort it out as its my first root ever so noob with these.
If someone want to help you can get Generic.kl here- - > http://pasted.co/3a9b34ca
I think it's because key 580 is long press of MENU not long press of key 139. So whichever button you set to MENU, when you long press it, it will use key 580's value. In this case, your left button just turned to Recents (APP_SWITCH) key, not MENU key anymore, so when you long press it, key 580's value won't be used.
So i think changing left button short press to Recents (APP_SWITCH) key is as far as you can go, nothing more you can do about the long press without custom ROM or xposed. (Or does CyanogenOS have the Buttons section in the settings, i don't remember)
