Re-map Menu button to Multitask - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Okay. Now that ics source for the i9100 has landed and been here for a bit, would it be possible/wise to remap our menu capacitive keys to multitask instead? I ask since ics has a new way of handling menu commands. The only thing is how would this be handled in legacy apps I wonder? Could we make the hard press of the menu key menu? Thanks.

What you bring up your "recent apps"? If that's what you mean, then you long-press the home button

That would be a bad idea.. a lot of apps require the menu button such as launchers etc.. it would be smarter to replace the search button.. anyhow I do believe that would be possible my friends sense 4.0 rom on his inspires search button is for multitasking instead of search

If you did that you would lose the menu option in a vast majority or programs. I have yet to find an app with a soft menu key. You would have to add the soft keys to get to menu button.
Long press home is an easier solution, plus it was the task manager, recent app menu in GB already.

Is it possible to remap menu to recent apps and long press menu to menu? Like the new option is on new htc software.

May be this can help you:

No, thats for Gnex. s/w buttons. remapping hardkeys can be done, we had to do it back for ICS. Its around, deep. and not necessary.

Why is it stupid? That's how the new Htc one series handles with their menu/recent apps. Would be great to have.
When I edit the .Kl File the long press disappear. And to map 217 to search doesn't work on the s2 (I have the international version with no search button)

[MOD][CM9}Recent Apps in Status Bar, and Search Key as Recent Apps toggle

Recent Apps Mod in Status Bar for CM9
Hey everyone, I just compiled this small mod from the cm9 source for the att galaxy s2. It adds button in the status bar that goes to recent apps dialoge. Just flash this in cwm on top of CM9.
See the screenshots for more details...

Thanks to
sam3000 for documenting the extra steps he did to compile cm9
and evilisto for his excellent guide on how to do this which can be found here
One last thing... If you would be interested in me remapping the search key to serve as a dedicated multi-tasking button please leave a comment telling me. I wasn't sure if people wanted this so I'm not gonna make it until I have some support
Remap Search Key as Recent Apps
This small mod lets the search key act as the recent apps toggle that the galaxy nexus has. Just press the search key, and it will bring you directly to the recent apps dialoge, which makes multitasking even easier. This is only for cm9. There's really no need for screenshots or anything becuase its just a different way to get to the recent apps. It may be a bit confusing at first trying to use the launcher without the search key, but you'll quickly get used to it. I reccommend putting the google search widget that is on every homescreen...
Download below. Just flash in CWM

This could be made to work with the stalk rom but it would require dev skills way beyond my ability as that would require some smali edits. I have not implemented the search key remapping yet but i am working on it.

Hey guys,
I really liked this theme and the icons, so I decided to make some of my own that would match. I'll add them as I go. For now, I only have an icon for reddit. Apologies for the quality, I'm not a photoshop pro. I think they should work for most people, though.
Enjoy!

The hardware buttons drain note battery. You can have the search and menu accessible on the nav bar, plus instant access to Google now and long press search. With CMX yes you can get access to some of these features via long press, but not all of them. It's a choice for people, it doesn't have to be used, but there are some of us that like it and prefer it.
i put a little bit of time into this mod today
softkeys.zip- adds the on screen nav bar
softkeys2.zip- adds the on screen nav bar and disables the physical buttons (the backlight still turns on i didn't look to hard at trying to disable them)
the search key is something i have looked into a lot and i didn't find any solid How-to's on how to enable it i know it involves the SystemUI and the navigation_bar.xml but i haven't found a JB rom with it turned on by default without a tweak to access it
Okay so spent a little more time with it today and I got all the keys up, the button lights are still on, not sure what is causing it and it looks like I borked the app switcher for the moment but here is proof of concept
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Nice man! Thanks so much for your work! Backlights can be switched off in the sys files I thought?

Adding the line "echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button_backlight/max_brightness" to the post boot file kills the button lights.
