Remap Home Button Function

Hi. I want to remap the functions of the home button as follows:
Click - Home
Long press - Menu/Recent
Double tap - Back

and then eventually disable the softkeys all together. Now, I used xposed additions to open the Menu/Recent on long press, but there's no function for changing how it works when double tapping. Home2 shortcut only lets me open an app while double tapping, and that's not what I want.

Help?

Xperia Z Ultra Power Button Remap

Hi, I am a complete noob here.

My Sony Xperia Z Ultra is not able to turn off due to hardware issue. The power button is always pressed. Whenever I choose to off the phone, it turns on but also turns on itself. There is time during my work that I need to have my phone off totally (not even silent mode). Repairing costs me the price of a new phone.

I want to remove volume up button function and call for power function when "volume up" button is pressed. I searched and found great remap button apps. But all of them revert back to the original setting when I off my device.

I tried rooting my device using "Root Android without PC" and "KingRoot". I verified the root status of my device using "Root Checker". But I don't dare to move a step further to install Xposed Framework because I don't know how and the risk is real high that I can't take.

What can I go about in this case?

Soft buttons remap, disable backlight.

Hi guys,

I am new to the Note Edge. I cannot get used to the location of the back and recent buttons. I have been searching around but cannot find any mention that any ROM support disable the buttons' backlight and remap them to normal locations. Which ROM support it without extra software?



Thanks a lot.

Remap hardware keys?

So I'm specifically looking to remap the long-press of the home button to the "SEARCH" function, and simply select the Google app. I tried it successfully with the camera button, just changed it from "INFO" to "SEARCH". But that was just to test. I want to remap the long press of the home button but I cannot figure out how to do it. I'm using 4.6.4, rooted via KingRoot. I am editing the "gpio-keys.kl" file, located in /system/usr/keylayout, and here are the contents of the file:
