Is there a mod for the power menu, I dont want to flash an entire rom, just a power menu to enable restart options.
A quick search leads me to believe that at this time yoou're only gonna get that feature by flashing a rom. Why not try out AOKP or a mostly stock looking/functioning one?
Edit: check the "MoDaCo custom ROM." apparently its a stock rom with advanced power menu you toggle menu features

hey thanks for reading my mytouch 4g track pad doesn't want to click what is another way to install a rom on recovery thanks
You can install it from the Rom Manager app, I think its a premium feature though.. I always do it from boot recovery and from there all I am aware of is the trackpad button you are trying.
use the camera button to press instead of the trackball...
Before you start, I recommend backing up your text messages and call logs, as these can be restored to any ROM I've tried so far. I recommend using SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu, both available free from the Android Market. Also, back up your apps using Titanium Backup, as it is faster to restore user apps from backup than having to install them again from the Market.
You do not need to purchase premium for ROM Manager to install a ROM from it. To install a ROM from ROM Manager:
1. Download the ROM of your choice.
2. Copy the ROM's ZIP file to your SD card (I recommend you place it in the root of the SD card, i.e., inside no other folder).
3. Open ROM Manager on your phone.
4. Under ROM Management, select Install ROM from SD Card.
5. Select the ZIP file for your ROM from the list.
6. In the ROM Pre-Installation popup window, check all three check boxes, and tap OK.
7. In the Reboot And Install popup window, tap OK. Your phone will reboot into recovery, back up your current ROM, and install the selected new ROM. This process can take from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the current ROM being backed up and the new ROM being installed.
8. Enjoy your new ROM! Note that on first boot on a new ROM, it will take a long time because the OS is rebuilding the cache.
ETA: Anecdotal evidence time! I just flashed from Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 to RoyalGinger 3.0 just for the fun of it, and it took 11 minutes from hitting OK in step 7 until the ROM booted into initial setup.
the camera button works the same as the trackpad in recovery so its easier...
Please can someone help!!!
I run Virtuous Unity 1.31. All the buttons on my myTouch 4G/Glacier worked fine until last week when I flashed a new kernel (Virtuous Custom Kernel v3).
Here are my problems now:
Trackpad: Before, my trackpad woke the system up but now it doesn't. I've flashed the trackpad wake mod and it still doesn't fix it.
Note: Other than failing to wake the system up, the trackpad's functions are working. It scrolls up/down/side to side just fine through menus, etc.
Power button: In recovery mode, it acts strange - it won't execute the selected menu item. Trackpad scrolls up/down/side to side fine.
Note: Outside of recovery mode, the power button works just fine.
In desperation, I've even flashed a different ROM (Cyanogenmod 7) and the trackpad wake issues I've mentioned above persists in this ROM too.
Please can someone tell me what I should do. I really will appreciate any help you can offer me.
Thank you so much!!!
I use the trackpad to scroll and select in recovery, not the power button.. thats for the hboot menu
In HBOOT, all the commands seem to work for me. I can use Power to execute a selection. But in Recovery, it doesn't work for anything. When I use the trackpad to select, it does nothing. If I use the Power button to execute a highlighted item, it brings me to the circle with hat icon. I have to use the button on the right side of the phone (camera button?) to select a highlighted item. There is something wrong and I can't figure out what to do. Please help!

HI
I have the i9505 samsung s4.
I managed to root it via odin, and flashed the Team win recovery as part of the process. I downloaded root checker and it shows that the device is rooted.
However, when i turn the device off and then try and boot to the custom recover I am finding it impossible.
I hold the volume down, home key then press the power button and keep them pressed. THe phone keeps going to the odin download mode and no further etc. However, I can get to the custom recovery via rom manager. What am i doing wrong??
Using rom manager is fine, however if something goes wrong during a custom rom flash then i will need to use the buttons to boot to custom recovery
Please help
Manny

If you flash Philz recovery you can boot only when you turn off your phone and by Hold and pressing Power+Volumeup . Im Guessing your asking the Extended Power menu Option by Pressing Power and choose restart > There should be Reboot Option IE Reboot,Recovery,Downloadmode. Mate is your phone rooted? If you want an Extended power menu option try to install WannamXposed , and Enable it from there, Make sure to follow hes Tutorial. Have a nice day.

hi it is the same with both custom and stock rom. I am now running paranoid 4.4.2.
The issue is that I need an option to get to recovery using the buttons. There is no issues getting to recovery from the power menu once the phone is running
It is really annoying me now
Thanks
I tried installing this mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789666&page=97
But my phone got a bootloop, so i flashed the stock firmware 4.4.2 Gt-i9505 via odin and it worked..sort of.
Now the home button, notification center, the settings icon in the pulldown menu, the button next to it,my lockscreen and long pressing the wifi to the multiwindow button doesn't work. Power menu only contains reboot and power off, used to have airplane mode and volume buttons.
Menu, back, volume keys and power button are working. And home button wakes the screen if its of.
Please help :crying::crying::crying:
PS I don't like to do a full wipe
Also tried replacing framework-res.apk with another one, another bootloop, so reflashed the same rom again.
Do a full wipe
There is nothing like I dont want to

Yeah, I just did and luckily my phone worked again. Oh and I said I don't LIKE to .
So, I guess question solved.
Hi,
My L720-S4 is experiencing a failure of the touch buttons (menu and return buttons next to the home button). I've researched and tried various programs, such as Virtual Button Bar and Button Savior. With these programs, the return function works well but the MENU button does not work.
I've done Xposed but that didn't have the options for the MENU button that I could find.
So after further research, I rooted the device to edit the /SYSTEM/USR/KEYLAYOUT/GENERIC.KL file to change the volume down button (114) to MENU. Unfortunately this also does not work.
Can I get some advice or suggestion as how I may go about reprogramming on of the keys to act as the MENU button ideally or have a menu button GUI overlay like the two software above? Device is currently on stock ROM @ 4.4.2.
Many thanks in advance for those that can help save this S4.
Cheers!
The Sprint S4 boot loader comes unlocked,and since youre already rooted,just flash a stock ROM or ODIN back to stock and re-root. All of this assuming you just want the buttons to work like stock.

It's probably me but what you suggest seems to be where I'm at right now. Flashing back to stock then re-rooting is the same as me rooting the stock ROM. If at all possible, I'm trying to map the volume down button with one press to work in place of the defective MENU button and a long hold of the volume down button will lower the volume.
Again, maybe I miss understood your suggestion so my apologies if that's the case and hope you'll explain in more detail.
Cheers!
Hi guys, my biggest problem is with power button menu. I dont have any jelly effect or other issues that are most popular, but i have problem with power button menu. When i hold it for 2 or more seconds it doesnt shows typical menu, instead it going like quick reboot? max 10 sec reboot. After that i cant even do a screenshot or photo because it doesnt recognize memory or something like that... To go back to normal i have to long press power button + volume down or up to recovrry or fastboot... Its really annoying. On stock i had normal power button menu. I flashed twrp, elemental kernel and rooted by magisk and its gone. I have enabled advanced reboot. Any solutios, help duuude...

there's a possibility that root is the problem, since your phone is decrypted which means the user can access the root directory and do some modification on the files. but i don't really think that that's the problem, cuz i'm also running on the Codeworkx TWRP 3.2.1 on OB4 with FrancoKernel also a few mods, and zero problem detected so far. have you try to re-flash the rom? i think it will work

Thank you for your response. I will reflash the ROM. I was just trying to find a way, if the issue could be resolved without going the reflashing route and start everything again. I had upgraded from OB3 to OB4 using OTA update. So now I will have to download the OB4 full ROM, as I cant flash the OTA using TWRP. I will try flashing the xXx_NoLimits_9.5_OP5_Oxygen_5.0.1_full ROM.

Have any of you themed the phone ?
Sometimes certain themes break the power menu, completely remove any installed themes and it should go away.
