WHOLE EXPLANATION: So I notice that in devices like the galaxy s4 or Optimus G, in which they have a capacitive menu button, the 3-dot buitl-in menu in apps is not present (Obvious right?) but the thing is, in those devices, when you hit the hardware menu key, the menu appears on the bottom of the screen, whereas in the nexus 4 the menu appears on top of the 3-dot button wherever it is (the position of the in-app menu button depends on the app), this is annoying me since I have disabled the navbar to get more screen realstate and Im relying on gesture control, I set a swipe up gesture form the bottom of the screen for the menu, and its annoying because even without the navbar, the menus keep appearing on top of the freaking 3-dot button, I WANT THAT 3-DOT BUTTON GONE FROM MY APPS! just like in devices that have a hardware key for menu, that way menus would appear from the bottom of the screen on every app and my gesture would look awesome, kinda like in ubuntu touch, thats my goal.
MAIN QUESTION: How do I disable the freaking 3-dot in-app menu button? which files do I have to edit? Please I do not want to change my current rom for some other one that has this option built in... I just wanna know which files to edit, maybe in built.prop or something.
Thanks in Advance..
Screenshot of what you're saying.. Because the 3 dots ARE for the menu or options inside the app.. At the bottom right, right?

NO, this is what I'm talking about, the menu comes out of that 3 dot button once you hit it,

I want it to be like THIS, no 3 dot built in-app, but when I do the menu gesture, it comes from the bottom like this
Rootbox ROM has this feature (and it is actually working), you should try that and see if it works for you
Pretty much you will have to rewrite most of the system to get it removed completely.

There's no way to do this unless you get another ROM. Try any of them though, a lot have the ability to add a soft key menu button at the bottom (AOKP for example).

No it can be done. It is just alot of work.

The reason you have those is because it looks like you're using full screen..

Today I stumbled upon a cool app called GMD Gesture Control, it basically allows you to define global gestures that can be used anywhere and that can do any kind of action, kinda like the "pinch" gesture found in the ipad that closes the current app. The gestures can be defined with custom directions, actions or number of fingers. So you can for example swipe with two fingers down from the top edge of the screen for the device to go to sleep if you have an unreliable sleep button.
Here's the steps needed to be taken to use this app on lg optimus one:
1- Get the app, you can use the lite version for now which disables itself when the mobile is locked and needs to be re enabled, but it gives you a good idea of how the app works:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dvb2Rtb29kZHJvaWQuZ2VzdHVyZWNvbnRyb2xkZW1vIl0.
2- Launch the app for the first time, it will show an error that the device is not recognized, here you have to override the default settings to support our mobile, you can do this by tapping the "advanced" tab at the far right, then you will find 2 options at the end of the list, enable both by tapping the "on" button. Then from the "Override multitouch device detection" list choose "touch_mcs6000", then choose from the "override touch events parser detection" list the option "HC_DEFAULT".
3- Restart the service from the main "General" tab, please note that I couldn't get our mobile to support more than 2 fingers gestures, keep that in mind when defining custom gestures or choose "single touch gestures" option in the default gestures tab.
Hope that you all find this useful, this app is extremely fun to use to switch between apps quickly, I use a swipe from the left-right bottom corner to switch between previous/next app. You can really create any kind of creative gesture as you like.
This app is incompatible with your MobiFone LGE LG-P500.
it needs version 3.1 and up
upgrade to ics and install

Just became an owner of the new Nexus 7. The soft navigation keys that are part of the OS take so much screen real estate.
Is there a way to hide/unhide them?
Is there a specific rom or launcher that has that option?
Thanks.
Team eos has this option. You could permanently disable them and use LMNT. Which are like the browser quick nav buttons.

I assume the blue part of your image is what you refering to as lmnt? Can it be recalled on demand and hidden when not needed?
I also see the soft keys on the bottom of your image. They can be disbled in this rom, right? А

Yes you swipe from the left or right to draw them out. And yes team eos had the ability in the power menu selecting "system bars mode" will disable/enable them.

I only found HideBar by Pieter Pareit; are we talking about the same app?
Has anyone developed a way to customize the bottom System Bar? Add / remove icons?

Sort of ... but its better to have it built into the ROM then using an app.
Um yeah? Its called every ROM that uses aokp or Cm10 framework LOL.
Are you for real? Its hardly noticeable, it uses very minimal real estate and hides itself when it needs it (the real estate) the most.

I personally use GMD GestureControl. It allows you to set various multitouch/singletouch gestures. I have it set up so that 4 finger swipe up hides the status bar and the softkeys. In addition, 4/5 finger pinch closes current app (emulates home button), 4/5 fingers left or right scroll through recent apps (these gestures are stolen from iPad)
Hello all, recently, i realized the 'delete' icon from the gallery app has been replaced by the screen mirroring icon (even though screen mirroring is not turned on). If i want to delete photos now, I have to press the left key and hit 'delete' or hold the photo down to select it... before deleting it.
I have tried all means and ways to get the delete icon back, cleared cache and data from the gallery app, turning on and off screen mirroring etc... restarting all... but it does not seem to come back at all.
Can anyone advise me on how to get the 'delete icon' back? been trying to search for answers but couldnt find one so far. Here's a screenshot for you... i believe most of you would have the delete icon in place of the screen mirroring icon

Anyone has any solution to this? I dont need the screen mirroring icon! I need the delete icon!!!
It is not at activated at the top anymore it's activated at the bottom.
Long press the thumbnail... the delete icon will appear along with multi select.

I think if you press the menu button on the phone there's a delete option there too.

The ui change cannot be worked around short of rooting the device to modify the gallery app or not rooting and using a third party gallery.

Did you know you can turn off magazine app from opening when pressing the home button. There is an option for it ....... when magazine app is open press the menu button, then settings, then select open using the home key, un-check the box.
Well that was simple. Thanks, that stupid thing drove me nuts.
While on the subject, anyone know of any way to add new news sites to my magazine? Ie specific sites and not just a category?
Thanks I hate it too.
That thanks was purely for the sense of humour. He he

Did you know that you can create shortcut icons in the Multi Window panel that will automatically open paired windows of your choice?
If you didn't here's how.
Open the Multi Window panel on the left side of the screen, then open two apps that you use together. Now with both apps on your screen open the Multi Window panel again and look for the up arrow at the bottom of this panel and touch it. A little menu will open, select create. A box will then appear that let's you give it a custom name if you like.
More tips will follow and if you have a tip please feel free to add one.

You have to root it and install Wanam Xposed. That has a setting that lets you pick what apps you want to make available for multi-window.
Multiwindow Plus and Pen Window Manager will also do it, you have to be rooted for both though.
Xposed is easier, free and does lots of other awesome things

I just can't understand why Samsung would eliminate the one feature I truly like about TouchWiz, ie, the alphabetical list mode for the app drawer with the little letter tabs along the right-hand side to quickly jump through the list. Am I just missing something? I would really like to believe it is my stupidity in not figuring out how to turn it on, and not their stupidity in removing it for no reason.
If it really is gone, is there any way to bring it back on a rooted phone? I prefer not to use a 3rd party launcher.

Thanks for your reply. I do realize how to make the icons in the app drawer alphabetical. What I am talking about is the much more useful alphabetical list mode, as shown in the screenshot from my Galaxy Note 3.

Alphabetical LIST (not grid) is SUUUUCH a useful feature. I dont understand why they removed it in the latest software because its a step backward in doing so.
I've looked everywhere for an answer to this and everyone simply replies to the thread failing to realize that its a vertical scrolling LIST view (like your contacts), NOT swiping grid we are asking for. Doesnt anyone have a mod or solution?
This was one reason, not the only one but one, why I decided to stay with my HTC One M8 and sold the Galaxy S5. I have sinced move on to the LG G3 but I still wish I had that alphabetical list mode!
I cant imagine why there cant be a mod for this.
A toggle switch would also be nice for the new volte feature too.
