Disable quicklaunch buttons - G2 and Desire Z General

Can't figure out how to do this, cyanogen settings only let me assign them to a task, not disable. The left launcher makes my emulators unusable.

Changing the default browser

Hey guys Im trying to change the default browser for android so when I hit my browser button in the bottom menu it brings up Firefox instead of the main default browser. Is there a way to do this?

Go to settings > applications > manage and select your current default browser then scroll down and select clear defaults. Then whenever prompted to choose browsers, select the new one and check set as default

Strange...it works for me...which rom are you using...and as for the apps not deleting from the drawer....you can't do anything....you'll have to uninstall apps from application menu
You can delete apps by:
Long Press On App
Drag To Trash Can
Hold Over Trash Can Until Prompted to Uninstall
The contcet problem is in every rom...Me too cant go back frm the contact by pressing back button...

Edit. You will need to add another Profile to access Taskers own menu if you edit the build prop as above.
If anyone is interested I'll detail that here.

This works even better on KitKat. Removes the 3 dot menu bar without removing the in app 3 dot menu.

Do you guys think you could do something similar to wake the device up?
For example long press home or back, while the screen is off, to wake it?

Remap menu button to recent apps

Hello everyone!
Saw the S5 announcement few days ago and noticed the changes made to the button layout. I'd like to know if there's a way to remap the menu button to work as a recent apps button. And better yet if it's possible to assign the "menu" function to a long press. I've searched Google but all the alternatives I see are for HTC phones or for onscreen buttons.
Thanks in advance!

Look for an app called 'Xposed Additions'. It will do both the things you want.
Installed it. Tried to configure the remapping but it's not doing anything. I hit the "remap" and a window pops up that says key code and it appears that it's waiting for some input, I hit a button but nothing happens.

Forget it, just nailed it. Reinstalled, rebooted and all is working as I want to. Thank you!

Xposed Addition doesnt support KK.
Is there another way for this other than Gravity Box for TW Kitkat?

How about MenuBeGone, I'm running this on my 4.4.2 SM-N9005
And it got option to select apps that you don't want to have overflow button on them (like on Action Memo that 3-dot menu replaces delete -button, so you can't delete any memos.. but where do you need menu at all on Action Memo, so just uncheck it on MBC and you're good)
Edit: And it also can remap long press on menu button to show menu (while menu button is remapped to open recent apps)

Which build are you on? (also towelrooted?)
So you remapped menu button=recent and long press=menu. (like on the S5?)
I dont get what you mean with the Action memo though. But from the Description of the App I can tell that youre talking about the Whitelisting?
Thanks.

Yes, some apps get "broken" look when 3-dot menu is enabled on them (like contacts) and yes, long press on "settings" button opens menu, while short opens recent tasks.
About Action Memo see screenshot: menu button "hides" detelete if not whitelisted from MBC
Edit: to make it clear, that module enables "3-dot menu button" on all applications by default. From module settings you can disable that button on selected apps. That module also sets devices settings button to open recent tasks and long press to open settings (so by long pressing you can reach menu also on apps you have disabled to use 3-dot menu)

I got it, thanks. Tried out and its working fine. In Nova launcher the Menu button blinks a lot though - on long press.
There is a certain delay. But I think i will try xposed additions some time later but for now its fine i guess
Thank you!

Settings button missing

So I got an app and there is no dedicated settings button in it and I was thinking if there is on the phone a way like long press or double tap a specific key to open the settings menu like the note 3 had a settings button instead of the recent app.
I really need to go in the settings otherwise I can't use the app if someone knows a way how to it!
Thanks
Long press back key to get to the settings menu.

Thanks but unfortunately it doesn't work, it closes the app and opens the settings menu of Nova launcher..
