I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC5 and just recently my soft key for recent apps stopped working! The home screen link to recent apps still works, so the function isn't broken, but it seems somehow the mapping got disabled.
Any help?
Thank you!

1) Hey, I'm wondering if any of you was able to activate slider shortcuts on the lock screen. as soon as i set up a lock screen pin, I only got a lock to press... nothing to slide!!
2) Does swipe work on your keyboard with core apps installed? Not working for me! I didn't even have voice dictate function until i tried installing pico tts. Had to uninstall it again,but after that, the Mic was still there!

I did a dirty flash from CM10.2, and my old slider shortcuts are still there, working fine. I don't use a pin, though.
Can't help with your other question, because I deleted the stock keyboard to save space in /system. (I use Swype instead.)
about 2): strange enough, the play store doesn,t allow to install the standalone app of the android keyboard!

You mean the Google Keyboard app? That's very strange. I just tried installing it, and it works fine here.
really strange!

Same issue here. Friend with same situation also did a factory reset, which didn't help.

other than using the power button to turn it on, and crossing my fingers that this will get re-enabled in Android 4.5/5 around July/August, no :/
Also annoyed that the auto-brightness+ setting is now gone, but that at least was fixable through the Lux app.
Brightness button did not disappear on mine. Sprint S4
Any solution for the home button?
It's a world wide issue with all tw KitKat updates.

Couple alternatives. Wanam with Xposed could fix it. Also, a different launcher would let you set it too.

Thx bud,
I don't think that the prob is from the launcher, as it doesn't work with other launchers neither (I don't use TW, also it is working normally with s-view cover opened).
I have Wanam with xposed, but don't find any option like that... could you help me out? Thx a lot!
I found another strange issue, don't know if you have it , too. If I deactivate auto-unlock when I open s-view cover, it still unlocks when I open it... even after restart.
Edit: Found the solution for other issue: Nils Notification was set to always unlock when cover opened, nothing to do with rom... My fault

In Wanam, under System, there is a section for Long Home key behavior, can you not, Launch S Voice from there?
I use Google Now, and this is how I launch that.
As for S-view, I can't help with that, I dont have that.
Hey
Normally I use Long HomeButton for App Drawer and double Tab for recent apps.
I can't find a good way to use the double tab on home button to show me recent appsmenu.
On dandvs Rom i could use GravityBox + Apex Launcher to manage this but here nothing works.
If I want to use Gravity Box the damn Navigationbar appears although I disable them in GB and PACRom.
The button section in the preferences has no options that are interesting for me
So anyone have an idea or a way to solve this ?
I really like the Rom with so many feature. But I dont want do go back to Dandvs GE Rom because these button thing
Newest PAC Rom

I'm having the same problem. I had it working in 3/05 or 06 (I believe) but it's been ignored in Button Settings since then. Thought it was Xposed or something else conflicting with it, but I'm glad to see someone else reporting the problem as I've exhausted my troubleshooting. Any update on this would be wonderful!

hmmm...if you are talking about PAC 4.4, then use Omniswitch for recent appsmenu...
you need to remember, PAC 4.4 is still on Alpha stage...there a lot more features will be added later....for now they just wanted to give PAC user taste on 4.4 on their beloved devices....
I flashed Lollipop 5.0.2 and GAPPS 5.0.1 onto my SM-N9005 the other day, however I can't access the app switcher. It used to be hold the home button, but now everything I've read said there should be a square symbol for accessing it where the back arrow is. My settings and back arrow are the same as they were on KitKat.
I tried installing an app switcher from the play store, but it always said that there were no apps running, even when I was in an app (and yes, I tried rebooting after installing it). I've spent hours searching for this and can't find anyone else having a similar problem. Can someone please help me get to the app switcher?
App switcher or recent apps panel comes up by holding home button

Not for me it doesn't. I've held it down for as long as 10 seconds and nothing happens. As soon as I release the home button it takes me to my home page. Makes me think that it's not installed or running properly. Is there a apk I can install?

Try all in one gestures in playstore
So i guess it's a CM12, aosp, whatever based rom.
It definitely has a "Button configuration setting" in the rom settings. Did you even look ?
The square simbol you are mentioning is there when you enable the soft keys (navigation bar) and acts like the recent apps switcher.
But the hardware buttons should work too, if you configure them right.

I'm using the Dirty Unicorn rom, I didn't realise you could change the button configurations. I looked through all the standard settings, didn't think to look in the dirty tweaks section. Thanks for your help
When i bought the Nexus Player I had a 3 dots menu in apps.
Now I'm on android 5.1 and i did a factory reset (don't ask why. Just needed) and now I don't have 3 dots any more.
Any way to get them back? They are needed for some apps and can't be replaced by "tablet remote" for example.
same here...after updating to 5.1 the menu is gone! :*(
I might be wrong, but I think that LP 5.1 for "ATV" removed/broke the support for apps that... either don't follow Google's new Material Design guidelines or restricts apps that are coded to support the soft/hardware Menu button in Android devices. (The menu button and the the 3 dots on the GUI have equivalent functions in later versions of Android) Of course, it might also have to do with restrictions for apps that are not designed "specifically" for the Nexus Player ATV. I'm having this issue with Titanium Backup. I can't restore the apps I backed up using LP 5.0 because the Titanium interface is missing the main action buttons. The same version of Titanium works fine on my Nexus 7 running LP 5.1 for "Tablets".

exactly the same problem in my case. i cant restore my titanium backup and even to set up sixaxis app. Even tablet remote that has a menu button doesn't help... Maybe there is a way to get it back?? Or does vanillipop rom has it fix?
The inability to access the 3-dots menu is one of the most frustrating changes with Android 5.1 on the Nexus Player. Sometimes you can still access the menu if you try moving a mouse cursor over the area or by using Droidmote Client's hamburger menu button but that may not always work. As for customizing Sixaxis Controller, there is a solution. If you go in to the keyboard settings menu of the Nexus Player and choose "Sixaxis Controller" as the current keyboard, a "configure" option shows up underneath it which leads you in to the settings menu for Sixaxis Controller.
Is there no way to enable this? Sending the menu key via adb input keyevent doesn't work and the little ribbon that some application have don't show up either. Seems weird to remove such an essential functionality.
First screenshot shows trying to set a background with Nova. Second shows what's supposed to be there.
If Google doesn't bring back the 3 dots menu in Android M, then I think our only hope may be to see it restored through an Xposed module. GravityBox has a "force overflow menu button" in its miscellaneous tweaks menu but it does not seem to work on Lollipop, unfortunately. I've already asked the GravityBox developer, @C3C076, if he can fix that option in a future update of his module but he's going to be very busy with a project at his job until further notice.
I'm curious if anyone was ever able to figure this out. Not being able to get to the menu on some sideloaded apps is killing me. Do custom ROMS (AOSP or CM) have this same limitation?
Yeah I really need the 3 dots as well. Setting up vnc client and can't disconnect. Too bad there isn't some app to force the bottom menu bar, or an app that could bind the 3 dot function to a button the nexus remote would be nice. I'm assuming a custom rom doesn't suffer from this.
I found a solution! These are floating nav buttons. I used to use them when I had a Nook Color and it only had 1 physical button and app implementation for softkeys wasnt very great yet. They work on Nexus Player Marshmallow! You need a mouse or a pointing device though and these have to be sideloaded.
Floating Soft Keys *Root*

Works great - doesnt auto hide but everything seems to work fine.
-or-
Button Savior - Root Version
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
Also works. Has an Auto Hide feature which is good. Less ability to edit stuff since there is a paid version. It will ask you to change accessibility services when you start, but it will then also say that device does not have this feature or something like that. The NP does. You have to go to Settings, Accessibility, Services, and then activate it. Then the app will work fine!

It's impossible to set xposed modules now because just like titanium backup, the menus in the xposed app are gone/missing. I tried using xposed to fix this menu button problem but no dice.

I tried out Button Savior on my Nexus Player with Android 6.0 but it isn't the universal solution that I was hoping for. There are still some apps such as AdAway and Xfinity TV Go which do not work when the soft menu button (four squares) is clicked on. The function works in ZArchiver but DroidMote Client already has this capability in the form of its three lines menu button.
Ya I believe Xfinity TV Go app doesnt use the dot menu though. It's a sliding menu from the left side. I believe you can click and drag it open in Lollipop but not in Marshmallow.

Ya no problem. Titanium backup works with this add-on. It was the main thing I was trying to use with NP actually.
