[Q] Software Buttons - Wrong Function

So on my Nexus 4, running CM 10.1 Nightlies, I have a strange issue with the software buttons.
When the "menu" button appears in 'legacy' applications that lack an on screen overflow menu, instead of a single tap on the navigation bar menu button opening the menu, it opens recent apps. A long press however, opens the menu. This has been the case since I flashed Cyanogenmod, and was actually the way I customised the button set up on my previous Nexus S. I presume, somehow, that the preferences have been transferred, and although functional, it is a tad annoying!
I waited to report the issue till the Navigation Bar customisation options had been merged into CM, but I can't fix the issue using the options now available. Also, I'm not accidentally hitting the recent apps button, I don't have huge fingers.
Anyone got any ideas? Much appreciated if you can think of a way of fixing it without wiping the thing and starting again...Or even if you just have an idea how the setting transferred!

No-one got any ideas? Damn...

Disable Softkey illumination and vibration

Just installed 4.3 GE on my i9505.
However one niggle with it is the menu and back button illuminate, on touchwiz there is an option to make it so they never light up.
Also whenever these buttons are pressed (touched) they vibrate, they didnt do this on touchwiz....
Anyone know how to stop the above?

I belive this is what you are looking for..
Disabling haptic feedback in powersaving options should stop the "viabration" on using softkeys.

Home Button Briefly Shows Recent Apps

Delete/Ignore - It was Home2 Shortcut. I always have it set from the start, and didn't even think of it.
I'm on US Cellular, but heard our phones are very similar. I have this annoying problem when I press the Home button. It appears to happen with both the hw button and an app, like Ultimate Dynamic Navbar. I press it to go to my default screen (Nova launcher, not in foreground), and the Recent Apps pops up for a split second before going to the home screen. Not sure when it exactly started, but happened on both Vanir and CyanFox ROMs. I'm on KT kernel and tested with default settings and the Hydra profile. Thanks for your help.
Edit: When on a different screen on the launcher, it'll show the Recent Apps, then remain on that screen.
Edit: Before I have any recent apps, it'll just flash a black screen for the same amount of time. Something's causing a delay. In Accessibility, I changed the Touch & hold delay from Short, Medium, Long with no change.

[Q] How to swap menu/back buttons? CM11 M12.

In CM11 I have already re-mapped the menu button to the "Recent app switcher" using the CM11 settings. But i want to know how to switch Back and Menu around so it will be like more standard android.
I own other devices with this layout so i want to have consistent order of buttons. (Back, Home, Multi task)

[Q] Lolipop on the S4 and still the home button behaviour is different from S5 :(

Hi,
I was hoping that with Android Lolipop that I installed two days ago on my S4, it would have the same behaviour as the S5 when you press the menu or home button. Since I use the taskmanager (application icons) very frequently, I was hoping that it would not require long-pressing the menu button anymore, but I was wrong.
I think this must be a Touchwiz-setting, so how can I alter the default behaviour to quickly access the taskmanager, for example like it is default on the Galaxy S4, as well as on the Google nexus devices (which use the square button for that on the homescreen).
Thanks alot.

You can do that with various custom roms.
Depends on how you want it. For instance, pretty much all CM12 based roms have the ability to set each key behavior. I have my menu key set to show recent apps when long-pressing it.
Most roms also have the ability to set on-screen buttons.
