Help How to re-map the Evo keys?

[pglenn]

is it possible to re-map the Evo's keys (home, menu, back, search) with an application, on an un-rooted Evo? and especially the "long press" keys? I've been playng with an install of Go-Launcher for a couple of days and havent found an option, although I read it was possible before I installed it. Any other method (other than rooting) or applications thar will allow this?

can't remap that but you can remap the rosie. check it out: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tip...d-concept-sense-launcher-modded-unrooted.html

Do you mean, "when I long press the search button, I want my sms application to launch"?
or "when I long press my home button, I want my audio profile application to launch"?
or "when I long press my menu button, I want google maps application to launch"?

and what is the "rosie"?

Well, did not check out ocn's link but you may want to try that.
Otherwise, just short of rooting, there is a launcher I use, not free, that will allow you to remap the "home" key and the "back" key along with shortcuts for finger swipes..see below

The launcher is called TSF shell

Like I said, it's not free, and when you look at the price, you're gonna say, "what? for a launcher???!!"...yeah, I know, don't ask. I bought it.

The rosie is your bottom screen dock buttons. TSF shell has none.

Spoiler

Edit: I also got rid of my notification bar on my home screens....it appears like it supposed to on other screens tho...or I "2 finger" swipe down for it.

actually I did look at OCN's provided link previously and it wasnt for me. looks like an incomplete/unfinished product and it didnt make any mention of remapping the keys.

Ths TSF shell looks interesting but near $17? dunno about that man. and it doesnt mention long-press keys can be remapped

Perhaps you may want to consider rooting
