I was wondering if there was an app that would give a virtual home key as my home or set up a button to go to there, search,back and settings buttons on the bottom of the screen do not work for some reason any suggestions?

If you are rooted then you can try this app out http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...psyKBw&usg=AFQjCNEqdozuMX3yXQN9zIt2ZAO6X_XEuA
This second app lets you perform gestures on your screen instead of button icons on your screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chukkapalli.zMooth.free&hl=en

Hold the back button and press your home key.

Did you hold back then press the home key and not just pressing them at the same time?

In the new Froyo builds that started to pop up if you LP the back button it is supposed to launch a screenshot app.
I don't think it works on our Vibrants though.
I did it earlier by accident but I can't redo it.
Is it possible to change the way the home button acts? I dislike the way when you hit the home button it puts the current app into a background process. Could we change it so like an iPhone the home button fully closes an app when pressed?

Excuse me, but I believe the iPhone puts the process to background too.
Right now im using the cynogenmod 7 KANG's version, when you go to the USB settings there is a option to fully close an app by holding the back button. You can also customize the home/menu button using that rom.

Thanks man! I've found the option in the application development but how do i customise it further?
Razr has a function that double tap the home button to open an app like dialer,camera etc.Can I double tap it to lock screen and how to do that??
And what stops you from pressing the side button made ESPECIALLY for that function?

Come'on seriously thats kind of a mean answer...
I don't know if that function is available but it would be cool, i would use it.
Homesmack will let you remap the double tap home function. You'll need to find an app that locks the phone, though.

Don't you find it a little uncomfortable to pressing side button all the time?

I'll inform you how to do that when I succeed.
tap tap app
use free app called tap tap app from market..lets u shut down screen wid a tap on widget and awake screen with waving finger over proximity sensor...works for me on artic rom...no battery drain because of the app
Any easy way to change functions of things like home/menu buttons, if for example I want to quickly pull up task manager without having to long press home. I find that to be tedious.

Here is an app that can launch apps by pressing home button twice.

Meh, I'd rather a single press for task manager, or better yet.. menu key and then hold for menu. I don't need hold menu for search.
Nova launcher lets you do what you please with menu and home buttons, for long and short press
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for that recommendation, I'm using that nova as my default launcher. But it still doesn't really do what I'm looking for. It only works while on desktop and doesn't have a tap menu feature. I need something global. Hope I'm not being too picky lol

If you're rooted, you can edit the function of the home button pretty easily.

If you use that tutorial above, you'll see the properties of the keys. I enabled the on screen keys, disabled the capacitive keys, and remapped the home button to launch the camera instead of being a home button.
Is there anyway to map the menu button to one of the capacitive keys so I can get rid of this dumb menu pop up at the bottom of the screen? There has to be a way

Did you even try to search? There are currently two different options and both are easily found if you put in minimal effort.
