Has anyone tested a long press on the Bixby button? I'm wondering if it launches Music. There is some interesting settings in the system flags that might make it easy to set a press and long press on the Bixby button to do whatever you want.
This is the setting in the preferences file I was referring to. This came from a device on display at Verizon. I have no idea what button or element the long press refers to.
public::long_press_app::com.sec.android.app.music/com.sec.android.app.music.common.activity.MusicMainActivity
Edit: Doesn't work. The Bixby button only seems to launch Bixby out of the box. No long press, no double press on it.

Hi
does anyone know how to remap keys, I would like to remap the green call button to list recntly used apps, the one that we get when we long press home key.
Really miss the alt-back key combination of blackberry.
i think a quick key to app switcher will make any device really faster

Press and hold the 'Home' button and it'll show you the list of the last 6 recently used apps.
thanks,
but i do know the long press home button, or press and hold home key.
I want to remap this function to the green call button instead.
so that i can get to the application switcher in one key stroke instead of pressing and holding
Is it possible to remap the action invoked by pressing the Back and Home buttons? Or can it be removed? Like long-press Back acts as the Home key. And long-press Home pulls down the notification bar?
It's annoying because I always press Back to exit an app, not Home. And sometimes it lags so a tap of the Back key registers as a long-press and actually sends me Home.
Is it possible to remap by changing stuff around in the keylouts?
And also, is it possible to remove that "feature" of the volume being lowered when headphones get connected? That's annoying, too.

/system/usr/keylayout/
directory may be of some use.
I'm not able to access those files at the moment but i think the file s3c-keypad.kl allow for some remapping as well.
I'll post back with more help when I'm actually able to access those files for the phone.
hello everyone, here is a mod which will let you use your search button as power button. this package is created for those who have broken power button
by applying this mod you can use the search button to lock your device or to get the power menu
as the search button is capacitive touch button you cannot use it to wake your screen but you can use your volume button to wake your screen
today in almost every custom rom there is a option for waking mobile by pressing volume key
download
Surely will save someone's broken power. I tried, it works, and I will include it in next version of my ROM.
Good use for useless button! Yay!
looking forward on your next release
This may not belong here, but I thought if anyone knew it would be you... Is there a way to re-map the menu button to pop up recents instead of menu, and then menu on long press?

sorry I can't do this due to lack of knowledge
On recent items - my long press Home works.
I made a MOD for the Galaxy S III which remaps the Menu key to the home button. The issue I'm having is that when I do this, it also enables the long press on the normal menu capacitive button even though a normal press is disabled.
Does anyone know how to disable the long press of a button?
In the usr folder then key layout file what do I need to change to achieve changing the long press recent button to perform the menu action? I guess ideally I would like long press home to be recent apps and short press recent to be menu. But which ever is possible. I just need to get a functioning menu button again.
