I believe this mod acts as your task switcher when you press the search button. It was around for a while, but I think for 4.0.3. Testing this now.

Hi guys. And if I wanna go back to search by pressing the search key? Sorry but prefer to tap and hold home than use a second key just for that
Edit. re-flashed jokers stock cm 9 and got my search key back. What's the use of having a second key assigned to recent anyways? Just to press instead of press and hold? May be missing somethin here...
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G
yea..basically press n hold is almost like 2keypresses. it just feels rt to me to have single press on search key. just my opinion

Open Market and type in Screen Off and Lock, download it and set it up as old tv style lock, but the problem is that if you press the power button, the phone will close normally, you have to press the screen off and lock button to make it show the off animation. Is it possible if it could be implemented for the power button on the epic?
Thanks
I just downloaded it. Its pretty cool. Like you said it would be alot better if it would work by hitting the power button.

Yeah, I wonder if someone could make it work with the power button
Could this be done with Tasker?

I don't think there is anything for the power button in the SDK.

The difference is that this has nothing to do with modifying the framework for the screen on/off animation but rather mapping an app to work with the power button.

Do you think it's possible?? Because I would love to see this working with the power button! (and also making the animation a little bit faster)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Well, there isn't anything in the sdk that allows for mapping the power button, at least to my knowledge, but perhaps a dev with a bit more knowledge on the subject would care to chime in on it.

Except the little detail where apps can't be mapped to the power button.
just use the remap long press search button option....how often do people really use google voice actions? you can just make a shortcut on the desktop for voice actions.
I can't even find this app on th market anymore ?

Thanks for sharing. This is pretty sweet! If only it could be mapped to the power button.
But it works great as a launcher pro gesture action

Tanks for the app, will try it!
where can I find that app ?
couldn't find on market...
Normal stock roms are coming with no camera button hacking. But you can use some application or use custom roms like Darky's v10.2RE. The power button is already hacked for camera.
I really don't want to use a custom rom.
where can I find the remapper app?
thx
This for ICS Passion v12 and V13 RC1. It also works on CM9 b15
This is not my work. It was coded by evilisto in the Nexus S forums. I only modified the key layouts for the Vibrant and the update script.
Here's evilisto's original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21501238
I do not use my capacitive search button especially with the Google search bar persistant on my homescreen so this Mod will remap the search button to the ICS task switcher so you no longer have to long press the home button.
I have tested it with ICS Passion v12. Others have confirmed it works on Passion v13rc1 and CM9 b15.
As usual flash at your own risk.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/Search_to_Recent-1.1_Passion.zip
It is a CWM flashable zip.
All credit for this goes to evilisto so please thank him for his work.

Since I use the search (just not as frequently) is there a way to add the search functionality when one long presses the search button?
I would like very much to use this mod but not completely lose the quick search if possible...

Unfortunately this replaces the search function. Leave things as is and use the home long press.
ICS on the nexus doesn't have a search key anymore. Just back home and resent tasks. This makes our phones the same. Sorry

Awesome! Will try when revert is posted

If you cant wait, just pull your current android policy.jar and flash. push back if it doesnt work.
I was already using from the post you linked. Nice to have a zip with correct keys.
Tested and confirmed working on CM9 build 15
Thanks. Working on Passion v12. Breathes some life into a button I haven't touched in like 2 years.

Annex1, that doesn't seem to be working for me... i remember that's how it worked with MIUI though. is that what you're thinking of?
at any rate, anyone know whether this will work with Passion v13? or will there be an update?

Sweet, thanks. So I haven't flashed any cm9 yet and I'm wondering, does the search button just do nothing by default on cm9 (before flashing this fix) ?

Is it suppose to unlock the screen by pressing the menu key? Mine does, just checking.
Menu unlock is not checked, I didnt try it without wake lock so maybe its cm9 thing.
volume wake MOD only

Well... since jokersax provided mirrors to those files I will put down my mirrors tomorow.
Hopefully we wont need then soon.
great work, i do have one thought though, maybe rather change the "settings" button to the apps buttons, since ics doesnt have a settings button by itself, and the search button is quite useful at times.
Volume rocker already has its own settings switch, so sooner or later it will be built in.
Remapping soft keys switch is a good idea for older phone, since new ics guidelines are no physical buttons. But thinking more about, which apk you will assign for a button that is a house drawing? Always the launcher I think. The same for the back and search buttons. Menu is the more "plastic" button.
btw, vol MOD working good for turls v6. Didn't test it to jokers beta.

I installed XDA App.
It gets closed on pressing the back button. Also, when I reply to any thread, it gets crashed.

Are you tapping it, or holding it? You might have a setting checked for "Hold back to quit". That's all I can think of.

No, just clicking on the back button once.
Same thing still happens to me. Say if I go into a thread, and then want to go back to where I started, it seems like it will kill the application if it's more than two back. And no, it's not the "long press back kills app" function. Maybe there's a better easy to navigate than pushing back that I haven't discovered.
It happens to me too but in many different apps. It seems like it's am android thing. Even then I go to messaging, it'll open in my last message and then I hit back to view all messages and it closes.
