Thanks to

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

Is this the same thing as holding down the home key?

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.

Ok so status update. I remapped the search key to go to the recent apps, and now I'm looking for what button to have the long press go to search. So would you rather have long press on the home key to be search, or the menu key?

Hey everyone, I have been trying to have the search key long press act as search, but it hasnt been working for me. I will keep on looking for a way to do this, but it may take a while... Download link for this is in the second post.

Thanks a lot dude! I don't think I'll use the search butting for multitasking but its nice to have options

Thanks man for making this. I never really used the search key on my phone and the button remapping is really useful.

Re-map Menu button to Multitask

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
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
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
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
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.

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)

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!

It's where the arrows go in landscape.Are you using a mod to disable arrows on the IME keyboard? If so that's why the gap is there.On Charmeleon it looks like he found a way to make the arrows still show up in landscape on legacy apps.

Yeah I'm not sure if any devs have been able to cook up a ROM that gets rid of the menu bar completely. I know they can remap the capacitive buttons but completely removing the menu bar may be a challenge.

I actually dont like onscreen buttons as they tend to take away screen space. I may be one of the few people who dont mind capacitive buttons at the bottom. I hate having a portion of the screen being dedicated to buttons. Give me the full 4.7'' of goodness lol.

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

Awesome, thanks for sharing. This really makes the spen more functional, having an easy to access home and back button, and the one click recent's button is the cherry on top. It would be nice to just have it pop up when you pull out the spen, but I still like the recent's and soft home button.
I'd like to eventually have a customizable nav bar, like in AOKP. On my S3, I turned my nav bar into my dock and had long press commands for each one as well, such as opening voicemail when long pressing home, composing message when long pressing messages, etc. You could also resize the bar so they didn't take up as much real estate.
Nonetheless, thank you for sharing this. I'm loving all of these mods.

If you press the button on the pen you can use gestures to do all the things the keys do

This and I'm pretty sure most people get the note for the bigger screen. Why waste precious space with nav bar? I do like the concept of just having it enabled when the s pen is pulled out. Probably a way to do it by modifying the page buddy to disable the hard keys and enable on screen soft keys.... Just a thought

So it works, but the home button + power does not do screenshots anymore.. Apparently it changed to the volume down + power??
Here it is though.. I plan on still keeping my hard keys active because I do like the menu function (personally)
EDIT: S-Pen will not take screenshot either????

I second this as well. I would love to see the on screen buttons automatically appear and disable the hard keys when the S-Pen is pulled out and do the opposite when the S-Pen is placed back into the holder. Or maybe add a S-Pen shortcut to enable on screen navigation keys. Now that would be crazy.
Anyone using this on beans3? I cannot get it to work for the life of me

Use total commander to edit. Should work.

Thanks guys... not sure why it worked this time.. but it did!
Mod is working great but these touch wiz keys are disgusting looking especially when the menu key shows up. It moves all the buttons out of order.
Does anyone know of a way to flash the stock Android buttons. Thank you!!

I'm using total commander and I'm on Paranoid ROM and it won't work. Any clues? BTW that's a zero at the end of the command right? Well I used both zero and O and its still not working.

Never mind, works great. For some reason it doesn't work on Paranoid Rom. Flashed Beans 5 Build and it works great. It even switched to tablet mode when I switched it to tablet mode in the dpi settings.

This makes my Note 2 soooo much more usable with S pen. Even when not using S pen, it somewhat bothers me to have both softkeys and hardkeys to deal with.
Annoyingly, it does conflict with some touchwiz apps...the dialer for example. I dial into a lot of conference calls to clear access to '0' and '#' is pretty important. I may try a different dialer, we'll see. I really would prefer to not lose the touchwiz features of dialer.
