Remapp buttons? - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hi all,
I had a Desire and I really miss the search key.
Are they any apps/tricks to remap buttons? For example double press HOME to be Search...
Tried "ButtonRemapper" but it did not work!
Thanks

Keep the menu button pressed for 1 sec
And also keep pressed home button while pressing lock screen btn to save a screen shot image like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

That's cool but I don't want to do this... I want to have the Search button emulated.

Just found out that it's build in!
Long press on MENU does the Search key job.

And then read carefully what I wrote

Weird feature when you hit HOME button

So I've recently noticed that once you hit home when you are using any app, you get this sort of short cut screen, is there any way to get rid of it?

This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer the question this recent shortcut screen is displayed only when you press and hold the home button, if you just press the home button without holding it takes you to the home screen of your preferred launcher. I'm not sure if its possible to disable this.
Been around since at least android 2.0. Eclair

I don't know how you get that.
When I'm in "any app", and press home - I get home.
If I'm in "any app" and hold home, I get the typical shortcut box.
All I get when I hold home is the task manager screen which is what's supposed to happen when you do that. I've never seen that screen before.
This screen displays when phone thinks it's in a desktop dock.
Thank you for the info, I rebooted and it went away, again thanks!

EDIT: Ok like ericcanboni said it is the desck clock on the original clock, but now everytime I press home it takes me to this, usually a reboot would fix it but now not even that fixes it, I uninstalled the stock clock and fixed it, but I just reinstalled it and its still doing it, anyway to fix this or do I have to use a different alarm now?
It might be car home or something like that

That is the dock screen, comes up when your phone is docked. Pretty sure it's magnetically triggered or something.

It's the 'Desk Clock' tab in the stock Clock app. Not sure why it would be opening every time you press home. I think it does open when attached to a desk dock, but I'm not sure.

Idk if the older touchwiz launchers have it but in the newest one just press menu on the home screen and then press edit. Then press the blue home symbols on the corner of the tiles. Refer to pic.

Stock music player

I am having some frustration with the stock music player. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get back to the album/artist/playlists screen after selecting a song.
I want to go from here

This works, but not when going in from the homescreen widget. When I hit back from the widget it just goes back to homescreen for me

How do you access Google Now from the home button?

ON my Galaxy Nexus, you swipe up from the home key but on the GNote II, that home key is a physical button, how would it work?
Press and hold the menu button...home button is for s-voice

Or hold menu on the home screen
Hold the menu button.

I have two Note 2s. I shattered the front glass on my first.
On my the broken Note 2, pressing and holding the Menu button never brought up Google Now. Trying it right now, holding the menu button still just brings up the search bar. I was never able to enable it.
My new Note 2 brings up Google Now without a problem. But I suspect there are others who have the same problem as my first phone did. I checked everywhere, and there were no settings to be found for it.
Always works for me. Here's a screen shot.
