I was on the CM forums and someone was asking how to remap the virtual buttons on the bottom of the AT&T skyrocket. Not sure about the filenames on the Rogers flavor of this phone... I researched a little bit and found the correct file to change and thought I would share...
The user over there asked how to change the search button to the multitask since he doesn't use the search button...
If you have root, open your file manager of choice.
You need to navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/
You should see a file called melfas_touchkey
Open in it a text editor.
It should have a line that reads
Key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL
Replace the word SEARCH with the word APP_SWITCH
Save the file.
Reboot.
So far I have had no problems after I rebooted and used the search key as a task manager...
If you find problems with my method, please share.... I am just starting to get into the deeper parts of Android and learn how to DEV some... I hope to get to the point of guys like sk8terwitskil and the likes but I am not even that far out of the Noob camp... well ok, maybe I have been modding my phone for a bit...
