Hi everybody,
I recently installed an Xposed module that forces the 3 dot menu in all apps, so I have no use for the menu button on my device. I want to change my menu button to act as a multitasking button. Is this possible? I am running the Google edition's software, hence the G in my signature.
Thanks,
EmEm

Just tried it, it doesn't seem to allow hardware remapping
I want to change the menu button to recents, and holding down home to menu

there must be a way to do this...
Funny, what you want to do is exactly how mine works, and I can't avoid it!
Home button pulse from suspend, inevitably launches recents apps.
I want to use home button for wake up, letting me on home screen, and I can't. I must everytime close recents apps. Annoying!!
Hey everyone, is it possible to use the back button to pull up the recent apps? Rather than just using the home. I don't like pushing down on the home button for to long

It is possible to map certain hardware keys (if your rom allows it). For example, Task650 AoKP has a hardware key menu, however you cannot customize the back button for recent apps, but you can throw recent apps onto the menu button as a hold down. So you can press it for settings as normal, or hold down on it for recent apps. If you cannot find a rom that allows custom hardware button mappings than you can always use a navigation bar (Like a tablet) to access the recent apps.
What app can I for making the one click action for menu button to be "back" and making back button be the "recents"?
I did try look for it but I didn't find anyhting specific for note3....anyone know of a way I can accomplish this?
Thanks ahead of time!

Get xposed installer and install the "xposed additions" module. It allows you to remap any key.

Just a heads up that any remapping of the Home button breaks the ability to take screen shots with Home and Power.
And now does anyone know how to force the 3dot menu on every app? Like the s5 has now?

There is a 3 Dot Menu module available for use with Xposed framework.

Since I couldn't find anything to force the on screen on app menu button I just used gravitybox to make the original back key double tap for menu.
It works alright and I don't need menu button in apps that often.

That will work too. I changed my menu to recents. I also changed long hold menu to menu, and changed the hold time from normal to short

Doesn't work, it'll cause an error message on every screen refresh.

Yeah I have my home button long press action set to be the menu key, and my back key long press is recent apps. I don't really use the menu key since I use the phone one-handed so often (right handed).
As a bonus, I have home button long press activate torch only on the lock screen.

I have xposed additions pro - I don't know whether or not that option is available in the free version.
Now they also added a screenshot function that you can bind any key short press, long press, or double tap.
Hello everyone!
Saw the S5 announcement few days ago and noticed the changes made to the button layout. I'd like to know if there's a way to remap the menu button to work as a recent apps button. And better yet if it's possible to assign the "menu" function to a long press. I've searched Google but all the alternatives I see are for HTC phones or for onscreen buttons.
Thanks in advance!

Look for an app called 'Xposed Additions'. It will do both the things you want.
Installed it. Tried to configure the remapping but it's not doing anything. I hit the "remap" and a window pops up that says key code and it appears that it's waiting for some input, I hit a button but nothing happens.

Forget it, just nailed it. Reinstalled, rebooted and all is working as I want to. Thank you!

Xposed Addition doesnt support KK.
Is there another way for this other than Gravity Box for TW Kitkat?

How about MenuBeGone, I'm running this on my 4.4.2 SM-N9005
And it got option to select apps that you don't want to have overflow button on them (like on Action Memo that 3-dot menu replaces delete -button, so you can't delete any memos.. but where do you need menu at all on Action Memo, so just uncheck it on MBC and you're good)
Edit: And it also can remap long press on menu button to show menu (while menu button is remapped to open recent apps)

Which build are you on? (also towelrooted?)
So you remapped menu button=recent and long press=menu. (like on the S5?)
I dont get what you mean with the Action memo though. But from the Description of the App I can tell that youre talking about the Whitelisting?
Thanks.

Yes, some apps get "broken" look when 3-dot menu is enabled on them (like contacts) and yes, long press on "settings" button opens menu, while short opens recent tasks.
About Action Memo see screenshot: menu button "hides" detelete if not whitelisted from MBC
Edit: to make it clear, that module enables "3-dot menu button" on all applications by default. From module settings you can disable that button on selected apps. That module also sets devices settings button to open recent tasks and long press to open settings (so by long pressing you can reach menu also on apps you have disabled to use 3-dot menu)

I got it, thanks. Tried out and its working fine. In Nova launcher the Menu button blinks a lot though - on long press.
There is a certain delay. But I think i will try xposed additions some time later but for now its fine i guess
Thank you!
Hi all,
I'm really happy with new Lollipop' based roms since last November
But at the moment I've set the double tip on HOME BUTTON of the nav bar the MENU function... 'cause in Lollipop, for the rom available in this period, there's no way to customize the soft keys and having 4 buttons :
* home
* menu
* recent
* back
I'm using an app to simulate 4th MENU button on the nav bar. Anyone knows a mod to flash to have the availability to change this behaviour ? To add another button ? To custom it ?
Thx :highfive:
What app did you use to simulate the menu button?
