Root Would it be possible to add more buttons and change sweep?

I'm on MeanROM right now. Pressing between back and home turns volume down. Between home and recent apps turns volume down. This is neat, but I don't really have a use for this feature. Would it be possible to change one or both of those to something else? Maybe make one search and another recent apps/menu? It seems like something possible by editing the build.prop but I may be way wrong.

On a similar note, would it be possible to change the sweep actions? Might be possible to have it open a certain app?

I know you can change the sweep options to do the following:

Sweep gestures (sweep finger across the capacitive buttons on bottom of phone):
Sweep2sleep: with screen on, swipe right to left to turn screen off
Sweep2power: with screen on, swipe left to right for power menu (simulated 2.5 second power button hold)
Sweep2snap: with screen on: swipe left to right and press Home within 2 seconds for a screen snap
Sweep2wake: with screen off: swipe left to right to turn screen on (disabled by default for better battery life)
Phantom volume down: with screen on, touch between back and home for vol-down one notch
Phantom volume up: with screen on, touch between home and recent apps for vol-up one notch
Sweep2mute: with screen on, swipe from home to back for vol full down (vibrate)
Sweep2loud: with screen on, swipe from home to recent apps for max volume
Sweep2skipback: with screen off, swipe from home to back to skip back a track (when listening to music)
Sweep2skipforward: with screen off, swipe from home to recent apps to skip forward a track (when listening to music)
Sweep2deepsleep: with screen off, swipe from right to left to temporarily disable sweeps while screen is off (until screen is turned back on: prevents pocket sweeps)



But I wouldnt be suprised if you could change them to other things. I would PM the dev and ask about that, because its probably over my head

I remember there used to be a way to change the recent apps button by editing the build.prop. I don't remember what changes were necessary though. I imagine editing the phantom buttons may be similar to this process. I'll have to PM the MeanROM dev like you said.
