[MOD][19-05-2012]Change KeyLayout So Buttons Can Act Differently![DISCONTINUED]

---

So many people requested the feature of being able to change the uses of the three buttons provided by HTC to us.
We all were disappointed when they decided to remove the menu button.
So i have a workaround which I will show you. If you feel it is a little complicated I have included it in the latest version of SuPrimo Rom. So feel free to use that.

Requirements:
1.) Root
2.) Any root file explorer

Steps:

• Go to the root explorer and navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/atmel-touchscreen.kl
• Open it as a Text File.
• 
  Replace the text in the file with
  

  key 102  HOMEkey 249  MENUkey 158  BACKkey 217  SEARCHkey 139  APP_SWITCH

• Reboot your device and that should be it!

I have made a flashable zip...I have not tested it!

It is only half functional....Multitask button becomes menu button but you can't use multitask
Recovery shows only single press in key test so it is tough to make it long press home..If anyone knows how to do key test of long press...please tell me!

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED!
