It does both. I just discovered that it does the search remap too. This modifies the framework which is basically themeing

[MOD](6/19/12) Remove 3-dot bar & Key Remaps | ALL RUUs | Flashable

There is for the international One X apparently, so I'm guessing someone just hasn't taken the time to put it together for the AT&T version.
I have the same question. The current deodex tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647690) is not updated to 1.83.
So no deodex, no mod?
It IS possible, this guy did it with the One X international: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25533464&postcount=373
Question
So, I see there a lot of questions about the remap mod. First, yes you can do this for odexed ROMs. However, I am not a huge fan of modding odex files, so I have not done it...I will take a look. If someone wants to dive into modding the odex files, PM me and I can tell you exactly what to do...
What does this mod do. Well, open an app like the XDA app. You will see a big bar on the bottom with three dots that is the menu for the app (lots of other apps to). This seems to take up a lot of space just for a menu key. This mod gets rid of that big black bar at the bottom and lets you open the menu (system-wide, not just in apps like xda) by pressing the recents key. So, for instance, from the home screen you can press the recents button and you get the regular android home menu for wallpaper, settings, etc. Long pressing home is then used for recents (seriously, what do you use more, menu or recents?). Long pressing recents key (which is now the menu key) opens searc, something that is NOT available at all on ICS sense 4.0. In my opinion, this is a MUCH better setup, and most users seem to agree. If you don't think it's for you, don't flash it. I am also willing to consider different ket setups (i.e., long pres recents for recents, etc.). I don't have screenshots, because it really doesn't affect anything OTHER THAN the big black bar at the bottom of some apps with the three dots.

Finally, I am updating this to the latest RUU, and making it a separate, but compatible, mod from the Advanced Power Menu Tonight at some point.

Was just trying to figure out if there's a way to regain the SEARCH button, which I'm finding I sorely miss (having to scroll to the widget, or find a search button, is more time consuming!) Plus I really want that long-press search to open Voice Search shortcut... sounds like you're partway there, so thank you!
Still waiting until the ATT OX mod process is a little more mature before I do anything beyond simple rooting... but glad this one is standing by.
Is it possible for you to jump straight into the Voice Search function by long-pressing menu key, as you've described? Or does it just open a text search box?

Updating now...I'm gonna need someone to test, as I am working on my bootloader and don't have a deodexed ROM, etc. I'll let people know when it's done...

Updated APM Test
Hi, this is an updated version of the Advanced Power Menu for the 1.82 RUU. It should also have the extra toggles underneath the regular menu. I can't test it, so please let me know how it goes. If you can logcat it, that would be great, but hopefully it will just work...
This is NOT a flashable zip, it is just a zip with the files, so you need to insert manually...I highly recommend backing up your current android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk before doing this.

Remove 3-dot menu bar coming soon....

When you say you're working on your bootloader....do you mean your are working on an S-Off solution for us ATT guys?
while i'm glad you're doing this, what is the difference between this three dot and editing the build.prop method?
A build.prop edit remaps long presses of keys? Sorry, please explain...

I assume he means that we can add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the buildprop in order to set the "does the phone have all the hardware buttons" to true. We can also modify the keymapping to make the apswitcher act as a menu button,etc.
I'd rather keep my app switcher a main key, seeing how it is used for me a lot more. Any possibility of app switcher stays, but long-press it for a menu? Or maybe long-press it for home switcher, but short-press for menu. I have too much muscle memory on that key already.

28(6/19/12) I have updated this mod in flash able zip form for all RUUs. Have only tested on 1.88, so flash at your own risk and let me know if there are any problems. Thanks!
Steve
Hi All,
This is mod that will remove the ridiculous "3-dot" menu bar that pops up in fullscreen apps (many games, for instance). It will also remap your soft keys, as follows:
1. The recents key will bring up the relevant context menu with a short/regular press, while a long press of the home key will bring up recent apps.
I will be releasing additional key maps in the future (long press recents for search, keep recents as is with long press for menu, etc.)
This mod is only for deodexed ROMs
Install as follows:
1. Make a NANDROID backup!!
2. Download appropriate zip;
2. Place zip on sdcard;
3. flash as usual in recovery (dalvik and cache wipe recommended);
This mod is based on the work of blubbers (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582506), so please go and thank him.
Let me know if I messed anything up, and enjoy..
Steve

Rest will be up shortly...3Sorryu, thought I had answered status questions: I am going to be updating all my mods this week, in flashable zip format. I am in the process of making them work with my upcoming ROM, and later a tweaks app, so I plan to have them out, as well as a ROM, early this week. Lots to do, so please be patient....
Thanks!
Steve2Hey dude, make sure your permissions are set to 666 (rw-rw-rw-) and the owner and group are both set to 2000 (shell).

I have heard similar thoughts from others. Let me:
1. Get out the regular mod (no dots, recents menu, long press home for recents, long press recents for search);
2. Unlock the AT&T Bootloader (oh, boy....);
3. Get a decent recovery done (easier with the unlocked bootloader...);
4. release more mods and ROMs....
