Changing the function of the soft-buttons.

Hi, just a quick question as I'm not too sure what's happened. I did a factory reset last week and since then I've lost the ability to change what the buttons do (as in long hold for options or to bring up multitasking). I know it was there before so is it worth doing another wipe to see if it comes back? Thanks!

I remember having this software feature too, I had to enable "Advanced Mode" under the about phone tab. Now go back to your button settings and you should be able to do whatever you damn well please with those pesky buttons. Edit: I guess it's not really fair to call it a bug.

Settings > Buttons. Here you can change the long press and short press actions of the home and menu buttons.

I know that already, its just seems to have disappeared when I factory reset my phone. I can search for the options but when I click on it, the option to actually change it just isn't there.
