Hi.

I've seen some threads about mods for the menu button but never ending with a flashable zip.

I really like the CM10 feature of customising the long press of the capacitive menu button. I make it show my recent apps and that way I don't have to press the hardware home button.

Has anyone found a zip with this mod? It would be great to be able to use it with any Rom. Right now I'm on WanamLite JB and would like to add this feature to this Rom.

Thanks.

I've seen a zip that allows the on screen buttons of the nexus and I tried it. It's not perfect but I though something similar could be done with a zip that tweaks the menu button.

I'm not talking about bringing the CM10 feature to stock Rom, but maybe doing something similar to the on screen buttons could work?

Hi,
It's possible with an alternative launcher like Nova Launcher (and maybe Apex Launcher too)...

But if you don't want use another launcher... Actually there is no mod for this as far as I know.

I AM using Nova Prime. But please explain what a launcher has to do with our hardware menu button?

The nova launcher is not what we are looking for. We need this feature everywhere on the system, not just in the launcher and home screen.

CM10 has this feature enabled. There must be a way to extract it from there and install it on a Samsung rooted rom.

If we can flash a zip to enable on screen home buttons like the nexus then I'm sure it's possible to flash a zip just to mod the long press of the capacitive menu button to act like multitasking.
