Edit: Please disregard this post. I've changed to xylon as I simply can't live without this feature. Thanks!
Does anyone know of a mod or anything that implements this feature? This is the only thing I miss from other ROMS. Thank you!

This does not actually answer your question, but what is wrong with the recents button? Are you trying to get rid of the recents button but still have access to the feature? I'm just curious what's going on here.

I'm just used to having 3 navbar buttons, rather than 4. It just seems cluttered in my opinion. So yep, I'm trying to remove the button but still have access by holding the home button.

But there are three nav buttons by default... back, home, recents.

How can I remap "recent apps" button to menu and remove those ugly three dots?
Googled and searched the forums for a bit and couldn't find anything specific to the n10. I honestly can't think of a time when I've ever used the recent apps button. I remember my hox phone had the same thing before, and I was able to use a mod somebody wrote to change the behavior. Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Well, on stock & AOSP ROMs, the soft-keys on the navigation bar are configurable if you decompile and modify SystemUI.apk or if you build it with the changes from source... AOKP has the option of allowing you to choose and customise the soft-keys and their click and long-press actions...
Oops forgot, I'm on cm10.1 nightly builds ATM.

I hate to bump my own topic, but has nobody really done this? Can somebody explain how to modify button behavior and I can just do it myself, I guess?

What the rip?
You want to delete the "menu" button? I've never heard of doing such a dumb thing.
And you have NEVER used recent apps? That's plain crazy.
Swiped from my Nexus 10 using xda-developers app
I don't want to remove the menu button, I want to move it to where the recent apps button is now. Currently it's in a different place in every app. The recent apps button also can do precisely nothing that can't be done with the home button. I find the three dot menu button ugly and distracting, especially in apps which weren't designed with a lack of hardware menu button in mind. I don't think that's "dumb" at all. Does anybody have a helpful suggestion or am I doomed to trying to figure it out on my own?

Yup custom roms, currently on cm10.1 and I do just that to my nav bar.
I'd also say include a search, it barely takes up any room at all compared to the other keys. I have mine set up like my old Wildfire. Can you not do this on stock rom? I never kept it long eneough to check.

No, you cannot. Most custom roms (cm, aokp, etc) have this feature though.

Threre is a chance not to install CM 10 and enjoy from customize nav bar?
When i use my n10 in landscape mode, it's hard to press home button, or back button cuz it's right in the middle, so anyway i can move those buttons into the left corner like they're used to be on the honeycomb?

I was using a custom ROM to move the navigation buttons but last week a few ROMs added swipe Ribbons. Follow this link for a Nexus 10 screen shot with a right hand Ribbon including navigation controls (this is not my screen shot). Ribbons default to auto hide.
With the right custom ROM and swipe Ribbons I always have a full screen with an auto hide navigation bar and notifications. You can just swipe down with one finger to have the notifications display at any time. There are multiple kinds of Ribbons and they are fully configurable (content, position, colors, autohide delay ... etc).
Check in the Developers threads to see which ROMs are supporting swipe Ribbons. I use Buttered +Aroma, follow the link in my signature. I have seen some bugs but for the most part they work well and have already become part of my daily-driver configuration.
My own set up uses a right hand Ribbon for navigation contols and Sidebar for left hand app shortcuts. I had already purchased Sidebar before Ribbons were available.
I've looked around and it appears there are a number of paid apps that apparently let me change the soft keys, but I'm not 100% sure if they'll work with the stock LG G2 "OS"...
I want my multitasking button back... No need for a settings button, IMO.

Absolutely. And I'm handy with UNIX, so navigating the filesystem and using text editors to muck with XML isn't a problem. I'm just not a developer.
Also interested in being able to change it that key to recent apps.

Just tested, no you can not. It will always hide after you lock your screen, so you'll have to swipe/touch to bring the soft keys back up.

And also it will always overlap over the screen. There are ways to keep the navbar from disappearing, but you won't be able to access anythi g underneath it because it doesn't shift the screen up, just overlay

My quasi solution was auto hide soft keys, auto to 0, auto hide only had anywhere on the bar checked, and swipe. You still need to swipe after wake, but if you need anything under it, just tap the left side to hide. If you use the mock option, home will leave space for it.

i'm sure most of you know already, but holding the home button will bring up recents.
Yes, but,not,as,convenient as having a dedicated button. Personal choice I guess.

I use GMD soft keys to hide them completely then use LMT for pie. That way I can completely control my button layout, gain screen real estate, navigate from left right and bottom and do it with whatever colors I choose. A must have for me.

What did you set your device input for LMT? I cant get it to work. Thanks.
I've seen the apps and edits to remove or replace the navigate buttons (home, back, recent apps) or even move them to the side... But what about moving them entirely to the notifications tray? Is this a bad idea?
For the videos and apps that remove the tray, there could be a hot corner or gesture to bring it back up. Should I have patented this idea before posting?

Tablet UI would bring it to the statusbar. Not the notification area.
To the OP: this would be bad for accessibility. Imagine using an app that requires you to double press back to exit. You would neet to pull down the notification area twice... just to close an app.

Fullscreen app gives you two hot corners, replacing the back/home, but I found I kept accidently hitting the corners within other apps or surfing, no matter whether I put them top or bottom. I ended up using Pie Control app, customised with Nav buttons to solve the problem. LOVE the huge screen via fullscreen.

Wow sorry for my late reply everybody. Thank you for you feedback. I haven't looked at tablet ui but I will. I have installed GMDs auto hide nag buttons. I like it. Sometimes. One thing I do not like is that the menu button for apps like Chrome are automatically moved to the navbar. I know I can turn it off but the menu button is just gone. Not a huge deal but I also don't like how it is sometimes less responsive than the stock navbar. Either way, I'm still shopping.

You should try AOKP rom which you can toggle phablet and tablet UI, I've been using this feature since 4.1.
As for in app menu button, there is in option called "Show menu UI overflow" in the rom to enable it.
