Button remapping is relatively easily accomplished on a rooted device, but you have to know what you are doing. If you're not familiar with it, this isn't the place to explain it, but I would certainly expect to see this functionality come soon in the form of flashable zips. I for one would love to change the menu button to recent apps, or possibly switch the two around to put back and recent apps where they are supposed to be, but then the backlights are off...

As far as on-screen buttons, the AOSP roms (CM9 and AOKP) will allow you to do that quite easily. And they're pretty heavily customizable, at that. It's cool to have the functionality, but frankly its very annoying to still have the legacy buttons below it, even if you disable them. To be quite honest, I love having on-screen buttons, but it makes me want to chop off the bottom of my phone that has become redundant. Given Samsung's focus on "distinctive" hardware button design, I'd imagine this would be even more annoying on the S3 than most other phones.

I sorely wish Samsung had made the concept with on-screen buttons instead, but it doesn't make sense to give up screen real estate to put them on there, and still have the damn physical buttons below.
