Menu and Search buttons

---

The more I think about it the sadder i get...Why do we need a dedicated multitask button? Long press of home would have been fine and they could have left a menu button or search key... Still excited about the phone but this has got me down a little.

Can we possibly remap the multitask button to menu or search when we get root/s off?

Using the One X, you'll find the menu button when needed, usually in the form of 3 vertical dots at the bottom of the screen, In apps that dont have menu.

The pain in the ass is the absence of the search button (it also has some UI presence like menu but still) Hopefully that gets tweaked.

XDA Since 2007...

I too use the search button more than I multi task.

I never use search but I'd rather have menu than dedicated multitasking. Long press home would do great

I was playing with the Att one X at Walmart and I really do like how they did the recent apps menu.

I had the same feeling about the keys changing, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that long press multitask button was search, so in okay with that...

I've never used the search button since I've owned the EVO 4G, but I often use the menu button and back button. I really rarely use the home button either. However, I'd agree that multi-tasking is an odd choice as a dedicated button. With Android's efficient methods of handling multi-tasking and memory-management, why do we need to access that screen so much? I don't see a good reason, and I don't see myself using it hardly ever.

Having multiple uses for one button is actually quite an intelligent idea that I would love to think that HTC had. We'll see - I hadn't read that anywhere but here. I suppose the One X forum would be a good place to check.

That's one thing I like about my galaxy nexus but I still getting the evo LTE
