Volume down quick launch - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, is there any possibility to change the app to be launched when holding the "down volume" button? I installed another camera app and the LG gave me the option to change it "just once" or "forever", I chose "forever" by mistake and now it doesn't work properly...
Thanks in advance

Power button and Down Vol button
Thanks.
Both button is very close, hardly to press at the same time

TBH, it is kind of flaky. What I ended up doing was using an app to link a long press of the HOME key to SCREENSHOT.
Works much better that way
Swipe up from the home button and use quick memo on the right. It takes a screenshot and then you just press save.

I use the exposed module "Advanced power menu" so when I hold down power, I can reboot, reboot in recovery, power off, or take screenshot....

Now this I likes!!
Nice! Didn't know about the swipe up from home and forgot about the Advanced Power Menu. I was using that at one point and in the process of putting on new roms all the time I forgot to re-engage it.
Thanks for the protips!
Anyone know how to remap the "Home Swipe Left"?
I would like to see voice search there.

[Q] AHHHHH I want my old galaxy button layout!!

Hi All
I've just got a S5 today. Overall I like it a lot however the bloody button res-assignments is soooooooo annoying!
Is there any to re-map the button layout back to the older galaxy versions? I.E.
Press the left button and the menu will activate (I know if I hold it down it will work but I keep forgetting and it brings up the tasker)
Hold the home button to bring up the tasker.
Frustrating yours

Root it -> Install Xposed -> Install GravityBox
Thanks, I had thought about it but its a new fone and you know what Samsung are like... I'm leaving towards re-mapping the key.
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Anyone know the key number for the left button (Is it 138), what would I need to change to make the default option a menu. I suppose thinking out loud I want to swap the commands over. I.e. I press the key once I get the menu, press and hold I get the tasker.
Thanks
P.
Just long press the left button and the options come up

Your best bet is to use gravity box, as suggested above. You can only change the recents function to menu via the file you mentioned. I believe the rest of the options you want are smali edits.

Remap Menu Button

Hello everyone!
I am currently using @Lenny Bard's SuperTouchWiz v5 ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-untouched-stock-rom-t3419034) and I'm loving the ROM except for one thing:
The leftmost key (to the left of the home button), once short-pressed launches the switch app, the long-press does the menu function (or settings? w/e). I want to swap the two as I am much used to a short press launching the menu function.
Can anyone help or lead me to somewhere which can help me solve my problem? I've been searching around but alas it seems that I cannot fully find the proper solution.
Except for Xposed, there isn't any way to do it. Except if you're a developer.

My installed ROM comes with Magisk manager, any way to make a workaround with it?

Unless there is a Magisk module that allows you to do it, then no.
Well here's what I did which turned the soft press to menu and long press to google search (altho what I wanted was for it to become app switcher but the long press on home button does that already so I guess it's fine )
On system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
I replaced Key 139 APP_SWITCH to MENU
and Key 217 to APP_SWITCH

[q] remapping hardware menu button

Hi guys, all i want is that i wanna single tap to menu button and get recent apps and most importantly i wanna get the menu when i longpress the menu button. How can i do that? I mean normally
Hardware menu button's functions on galaxy s4 is
SINGLE PRESS ---> MENU
LONG PRESS ----> GOOGLE SEARCH
i wanna change it to
SINGLE PRESS ----> RECENT APPS
LONG PRESS -----> MENU
i've checked the possible solutions on forum even downloaded "all in one gestures" app though it did just change single press to recent apps but couldn't change long press to menu because there is no such option called "menu" on the list to assign to long press, i can send screenshots if need to and the app is up to date is downloaded from play store
So i need your help, thanks by now

There is, you didn't see it or you have a different app.
The menu action requires root.

I can't find a "Menu" option.
I use "Buttons remapper". It's definitely able to assign menu to long press.

How to change the camera app for "Quick turn on camera(double press power button)"

How to change the camera app for "Quick turn on camera(double press power button)"
I am on OOS 10.3.4. I have Gcam installed and I am trying to use it all the time. I had already changed the default camera to Gcam. It did work somehow for "Quick turn on camera(double press power button)" feature. It only works after I UNLOCK the phone. If the phone was sleep/locked, "Quick turn on" will still call for the oneplus camera app. I cannot find any place to change it.
I tried to disable the oneplus camera app. But after that "double press power button" will do nothing.
Any app could overwrite this? Thanks a lot.
Button mapper (by flar2) maybe?
