I'm not allowed to post in the developpers forum, so i do it here.
I Know there are serveral attemps to navigate through CWM Menu wich is quite demanding with only one hardware button.
Have one ever thought about animating the menu.
So every second a different menu item will be highlighted. if the user presses the power button the highlighted Menu Item gets selected.
just an Idea!
If you read the developers forum, that has already been suggested multiple times.

Howdy,
This may be a dumb question but is there no contextual menu in stock Android? I know that many apps have the icon that is three vertical dots but on my Note 2 I can bring up a menu in any app by pressing the the menu nav button. I know that's a Samsung button, but is that entire pop up menu feature not in stock? I am sort of lost without it. For example, I can't find My Apps on the Play Store. On my Note 2 its listed in the pop up menu. On my Nexus 7.... I have no idea. I feel like I've looked everywhere. The three dot menu doesn't list it.
Thanks

OK I found my apps (tap little download icon) but still wondering in general. That pop up menu is really handy.

The three dots will come up in the bottom right corner when an older app still needs it. Overflow actions are being moved to the actionbar for devices without a hardware menu button. I recommend getting used to apps having the button on the action bar. It makes it much easier to know when there are available overflow options.

The problem with the menu button is that it was always there, whether it did anything or not. It was impossible to know if you could bring up a menu without trying it on each screen.
Exactly. That's why I am glad google is phasing it out.

Custom ROMs, you can make a permanent menu button. Mostly goes unused though.

Um.. First off, on tablet sized devices the Play store has a dedicated Download/My Apps button at the top. Second, my Nexus 7 (OG) on 4.3 has the overflow button in the top-right corner.. Yours does not??
Hello everyone,
In the last 4 months I have been using a foreign SIM card. Last night I came home, and I cannot return to CDMA mode and resume use of my normal Sprint service. I cannot change the network type in the settings (screenshots attached)
I was told that I might need to do a complete factory reset, but honestly I would hate to do that and find out that my foreign SIM card will no longer work for some reason.
My question: Is there any way to reset the mobile network settings to Sprint factory defaults? I have a feeling that the foreign SIM modified settings unbeknownst to me.
Attachments:
In the first picture, you can see that the menu has the option to change to CDMA EVDO LTE, but once that's selected, it doesn't enact any changes. I am not able to revert to CDMA mode.
Hope you guys can help! Thanks in advance.
Another symptom:
All ##****# hidden menus no longer work.
Try *#0011# instead. It will present you with a debug screen. Press the left soft key (menu button that glows) and select "key input", type the number 1 and press OK, the press the left soft key again and select "back". Repeat this until the screen changes to a different menu. Once at the new menu press the left soft key and back one more time. You should see a selection for cdma, press that then select common. Press next page twice and on the third page there should be an option for "pref mode set", select that, then select cdma/lte (or something similar I can't remember off the top of my head), reboot the phone and you should be back to norm.
However if your phone somehow took an update when you got home from traveling and Is on mja now, you might have to to a clean wipe and odin a full modem/kernal/rom.
Let me know if this works!

Ah, regretfully, I never got in to bitcoins!
Anyways, I had another question. How do I revert to stock completely? I would like to get to the point where I can use the original dialer codes (still won't work). I do have data now, but 3434 or 3282 don't work. Also, cannot update profiles OTA/download updates. (See screenshot)
Also, what is the magic OTA that locks your phone? MJA? I'm still on MDL, but I wouldn't mind upgrading if it would benefit me at all.
Oh, I'm not out of the woods yet.
Cannot receive calls/texts, but I can make them. Also, cannot attempt to re-activate the phone, saying there's no network.

Can you clarify a little? I don't get what exactly you want to do.
I think he means the menu button on navbar.. Long press latest button for menu

Its redundant now since nearly every app has the 3 dots menu on top right
I personally like it on the bottom and I'm sure a bunch of others do too.
Keep pressed the recent button and you will have menu settings.

What if you want to quickly change settings in Nova, or one of many other apps? Long pressing the recents button is very convenient.
I still like to have the good old menu button there, I got used to it and I don't want to move my finger all the way to the top and have to grip the phone differently to hit menu..
So my order of buttons is this(from the left) - recent - back - home - menu -
I use g2 xposed to do that... So untill I can modify this on the g3 rom i will keep using the cloudyflex rom.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
G2 Xposed is the best way to do this, but won't work with that ROM. Also I wouldn't get used to having that button. Google will likely pull the code in the next version or two so even ROM developers couldn't effectively make a consistent experience. It's only in there for backwards compatibility now for phones with the physical menu button.
Hi everyone,
I've currently got a note 3 and a s5 and I cannot stand the recent button where the menu button should be. I know you can long press to get to the menu but it drives me crazy!! Is there a way to swap them back? I noticed the new note 4 has the recents key too so any tips would be great so I can change that when I get it too.
Cheers
Kev

Asked and answered more than a few times in existing threads. Long press for a temporary reversion. Or edit the keylayout files for a permanent change. If you do a simple search you'll find all of the details on how to do this. Or have a look at my post history, I described how to do it (again) just a few days ago.
.
Using xda app and the search finds absolutely nothing to do with what I'm looking for. As does clicking your name, I get the option of threads started by you and again nothing to do with what I'm asking. Could you post a link directly to what you've written please?
I just did a cursory search and stopped counting at 14 threads, including two posts by me that do exactly what you asked. To wit: Change the recent button back to the menu botton [sic]
Don't see how you could miss so many threads or dogmatically state that they do not answer your question.
.
Never mind searched on Google and found it
Just searched xda app again for : change the recent button back to the menu button and found only my thread. My search must be messed up
Ok so i got my edge plus yesterday. Been using the regular s6 for a few months now and in the xda app there is a actual menu button with 3 dots that kinda hovers down at the bottom. Well on my plus it isnt there. Cant figure out how to being up the menu. If i hold back with a longpress it just starts backing out. Holding home brings up google now. And holding the task brings up multiwindow.
My problem is i cant bring up the menu to create a new thread. Thats why im posting this on my s6 rather than my edge.
Is it something simple im just overlooking?

Dis you guys try to uninstall and install again? Im using XDA premium 4 and everything is awesome here
Yeah I have the same issue. One thing you can do though (not a permanent solution) is to go to accessibility settings and then add that hovering extra button and in that way you can access the menu button.

I wrote about this over in the Note 5 forum. Nonfiction except to use the XDA premium app, which I think is inferior.
Actually the sad thing is that there's so little one can do to the locked device that I stuck to the free version and it doesnt matter as I hardly have a need to create new forums like the old days (where are you now, HD2???).

Here is the temp fix guys the problem is a lot of apps detect if there is a hardware menu button and omit showing the soft 3 dot button common in a lot of apps. The S5 has no dedicated menu button but it does have the long press home button option to launch the More options/Menu button, however out Galaxy S6 models do not have this option. BUT some apps still detect it and delete their in app button.
Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
At the top right slide the off button to on to enable the Assistant menu icon on all screens. Then click on the Edit option. In the edit menu deselect all the buttons you do not need by hitting the red negative on the icons (-) in the upper part of the screen. (note it has two buttons that you cannot remove Home Screen, and Menu Settings) on the bottom half of the page hit the green plus sign (+) on the More Options button (It has 3 dots).
Now on all screens is a little round button with 4 dots on it, it appears on all screens in all programs and is floating. There is the More options button now which is the software menu button we are missing =). You can just go back and disable Assistant menu afterward or like me leave this handy button on because I have multiple programs that do this.
Hope this helps guys Cheers!

Yeah I tried that it did not work in the app that I run that I could not get to the menu with, I will try another program and see if I can get that to work. I also tried many of the other options I could find through the searches. See the reply above mine in this thread.
