how to map HOME key to MENU key on a Note 2?

[Mike Lang1]

hi all,
how do I remap/reprogram the HOME function to the MENU key? Since the soft keys are a lot easier to press,
I like to do something like:

- press once on MENU to do 'menu' (as before)
- double tap on MENU to do 'home key'

Mine is running stock 4.1.2 and rooted.
Thank you.

Try Nova Launcher. You can do exactly what you're describing, except that it would be a long-press of the Menu button instead of a double press.

Found the solution: I purchased "Xposed Additions" that lets me to remap any key (softkey and hardkey).
Worked perfectly.
It needs Xposed Framework but I used it to run Xprivacy already.

Thanks. But it only works when you are on the home screen. Not inside an app.

Ah, good point.
