Hunting around for solution but surprisingly all seems to be happy with button layouts. Currently my buttons are:
1) Long press SEARCH - dialer One
2) Long press HOME - visual task swither
3) Long press MENU - brings keyboard (default)
4) Long press BACK - ???
Can we assign something on long press BACK? Sleep????
Is there solution for long press MENU to assign something other than coming out with keyboard? I'm thinking about Peoples/contacts.
As for trackball, currently I'm using to wake up with a press. I don't know why but I'm really struggling almost everytime to reach and press power button on top. One more I would much prefer and very happy is to ANSWER calls with a press of trackball while at lockscreen. Perfect!
Many thanks if can point to some directions.
I'm pretty sure similar to the Home Long Press, Back and Menu Long Press are impossible to change system-wide without hacking Android itself (like Home Long Press had to be).
How to clear long press search and assign another app?

Download an app that can use Search Long Press and the next time you press it, Android will ask which app you want to use.

Is there possible to assign volume control buttons as up/down scrolling?
There can be options
- better is if on home screen they works as volume control, for applications as scrolling
- always scrolling
- scrolling only in certain applications
?
Also, is there possible device tilt for scrolling?
maybe you check "AE Button Plus". a lot of discusiion around here
Is is possible?
Yes it is possible - I use it.
I have set it up do do exactly as you as you ask where a "short press" of the up/down volume buttons will scroll up and down and a "long press" will change the volume as normal.
You can download it here http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Thank you!
AE Button Plus is good application and it works, but it's not free.
Now I try HButton 2.3

Question guys,
How do I map the call button to long press (like the smallest long press ever) to get the Start menu?
Thanks

The unregistered function is almost fully functioning.
I recommend it.
I bought the app as I use it all the time and thought it fair to the developer even though I don't actually use the additional functions in the reg version.

You should be able to map long press send, long press end and long press power. It should work like the Fuze. Check out this articles but I bet it's identical:
http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1751
Here's one on making it the start menu: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1249
The mapped long press buttons take 3 seconds or so...not sure it's great for that unless you try DredSensor but then you'd lose a physical button (short press) to something else...
Is the long press timeout option in the settings the time one has to "long press" in order to trigger what he sets? Coz you can set it from 200ms to 900ms. I am guessing this is the time required to trigger a long-press response/activation.
I would suggest you send an email to the AEB developer. I did once and he responded in the same day.
He could probably guide you much (v. much) better than I on all the options in AEB+ (including "long-key press mode")
thanks Dave.
For a temporary fix,(or perhaps a preferred alternative?) I have set up volume to scroll up and long press (which is barely a second) to start menu (shows quick menu not original start menu) and volume down to scroll down and long press of it to ok/action. This way I can pull down the start menu with a little press, scroll up/down and then select an item or enter the submenu using the down button.
Hello,
I have 6.5.5 custom ROM on my device and trying to figure out how to navigate to home screen? I used Diamond before with dedicated home button but on this phone it does not have dedicated home button, so how do I do that?
Thanks,
G

just press the end call button. or you can go to start>settings>personal>buttons then set it to where one of the hardware buttons takes you to home.
Long Press End Key has 2 different tabs under Settings/Button. One on the settings application itself and another one under "program buttons". The one on the settings application itself overrides whatever I put into "Programs Buttons" for long hold of end key. Any ideas?

The third hardware button (left arrow) gets you home, but doesn't close running programs.

Sorry if already asked before, but search did not bring the results I needed.
What I wanna do is rather simple:
Pressing long one of the hardware button will result in defined actions. e.g. like the long press on home will bring up the task manager.
The same I want to happen on the other buttons: e.g. long press the search will en/disable wifi (like the app 'in app wifi toggler'), long press of back will toggle e.g. bluetooth, long press of track pad will enable voice search, etc.
Is there such an app?
Thanks

Hi All
I've just got a S5 today. Overall I like it a lot however the bloody button res-assignments is soooooooo annoying!
Is there any to re-map the button layout back to the older galaxy versions? I.E.
Press the left button and the menu will activate (I know if I hold it down it will work but I keep forgetting and it brings up the tasker)
Hold the home button to bring up the tasker.
Frustrating yours
Paul

Root it -> Install Xposed -> Install GravityBox
Thanks, I had thought about it but its a new fone and you know what Samsung are like... I'm leaving towards re-mapping the key.
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Anyone know the key number for the left button (Is it 138), what would I need to change to make the default option a menu. I suppose thinking out loud I want to swap the commands over. I.e. I press the key once I get the menu, press and hold I get the tasker.
Thanks

Just long press the left button and the options come up

Your best bet is to use gravity box, as suggested above. You can only change the recents function to menu via the file you mentioned. I believe the rest of the options you want are smali edits.
Hi guys, all i want is that i wanna single tap to menu button and get recent apps and most importantly i wanna get the menu when i longpress the menu button. How can i do that? I mean normally
Hardware menu button's functions on galaxy s4 is
SINGLE PRESS ---> MENU
LONG PRESS ----> GOOGLE SEARCH
i wanna change it to
SINGLE PRESS ----> RECENT APPS
LONG PRESS -----> MENU
i've checked the possible solutions on forum even downloaded "all in one gestures" app though it did just change single press to recent apps but couldn't change long press to menu because there is no such option called "menu" on the list to assign to long press, i can send screenshots if need to and the app is up to date is downloaded from play store
So i need your help, thanks by now

There is, you didn't see it or you have a different app.
The menu action requires root.

I can't find a "Menu" option.
I use "Buttons remapper". It's definitely able to assign menu to long press.
