Hey Guys
I have an i9505 that I flashed with 4.2.2 stock, and I'm getting lag when I want to go to the home screen. I hit the button and it takes a second to register. It occurred to me that this is because on the G edition ROM you have to press twice to go to the open apps menu. In TouchWiz, I disabled the go to Siri through the home button option to make things faster. Is there a way to remove the need to double click the home button, and make long press into the open app menu, like on TouchWiz? Or some way of reverting the key layout to back/home/apps rather than menu/home/back?

Uh, I chose to flash it to the i9505G ROM because I don't like TouchWiz. It works fine, I'm asking about the lag that comes because you have to double click home to get to the recent apps menu. On TouchWoz, it had the same thing unless you chose an option in S Voice to not open it with the home button, I was asking if there was a similar option in the i9505G ROM. My phone works fine nor is it a bin job, but if you want to be unhelpful and not read in the first place, go for it

Is there any way I can enable the on-screen buttons on the stock GS4 ROM. I'm trying to reduce the usage of the home button because I'm scared it might break/stop working anytime :/ The tutorial in the dev section doesnt seem to apply for me.

I think this is non sense. You will loose a part of screen for the on screen buttons. The home button will not break/stop working. You don't need to worry about this. And in the worst case if this will ever happen you can bring it back for free repair or replace it yourself (very cheap).
Personally i highly doubt that something like this will happen.

You can try downloading an app called EasyTouch, that wont take screen space. Its similar to the accesibility mode on the iphone.

You don't even need that, as this is built in, just look in the accessibility settings.
But... You can always do that IF the button fails. For now, don't worry about the hypothetical failure you may experience one day, just use the hard button

Wow did know it was there! I'll stick to the app as is more customizable. But thanks for letting us know
3Minit was pretty great. But development stopped and it was pulled from the app store. And I have neither the framework nor the corresponding settings app backed up anywhere to re-install. Honestly, cosmetics aren't a big deal to me, so I can perfectly well get by without most of those functions. But the one thing I care about is also the one thing I haven't found a fitting alternative for: changing button behavior.
To be clear, here is what I used to have my device doing:
Menu Long Press - Launch Colornote
Home Long Press - Screenshot
Home Double Tap - Recent Apps
Back Long Press - Kill app
Now, I know that there are xposed modules like wanamp that will let me restore my old settings to the back and home button. But I haven't found a solution that lets me alter what the menu button does too. I want to be able to launch Color Note from anywhere with a long press once again.
Solutions?
I also just formatted my hdd and have no backup of the framework..
I hope gary is coming back soon.
could anyone deliver a downloadlink in the meantime?
I would like to use the goldeneye 4.3 rom wit my I9505

It is only for those with a stock rom, is it not? Because I am using Stock(ish) v06.

Great, thanks. I'll have to give it a try once my phone is charged.

Lemme know how it goes. BTW it's an Xposed Module, so you need to have Xposed framework installed first.
True what Joe said. But I have used it on sacs back on 4.3 and blu Kuban ROM.

Just was wondering if there is still a way to access the menu with the button or anyway to change that?
I use the menu feature much more frequently then recent apps on my device.
If that can't be changed that might make it harder for me to use.
Not a deal breaker from me buying it but can be annoying.
Long press the Recent apps can open Menu
Okay.
Good to know.
Thank you for sharing.
I feel less bothered by that now.
isnt there any way to change it back to normal ???? its really annoying to long press eveytime !!
Wish I could change it. Been searching with no positive results

You'll need root, then install xposed framework followed by gravitybox... a search on xda will explain these things If you need help

That is not the menu button.
I am also wanting to go back to the old layout and get rid of the stupid app switcher.

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.

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.
Hello everyone! Does anyone know how to fix this problem when pressing the home button I get this screen that ask you if you wanna switch between Touch wiz easy Or home. I got it to the default app in setting and choose Touch Wiz Home and the press the home button once. It seems to come back after awhile.
Please help
Thank you!
When the choices come up select touchwiz home and then press always.

Not sure but I reset the phone and it still does it
could be a bug in the version rom you have, try an older or newer version?
