Menu buttons in the apps! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there guys, I have this problem that is really bugging me.
I was using CM 10.2.1 and it ran perfectly, but eversince updating to CM11 it seems like the apps/system doesnt recognize that im running a galaxy s4 and therefor has an in-app menu button. So basickly in every app there is a dedicated menu button like there would be if your device doesnt have one off screen, and it bothers me. Does anyone know how to fix this on CM 11?

[Q] Touchscreen Malfunction on Portrait View

I have a weird problem with my A500, the touch screen works perfectly but in Portrait View, specifically on rotating it to the right side - The screen area on the bottom where the home, exit and notifications area is just doesnt respond to the touch.
I guess this has something to do with the resolution or something.
Any fixes guys, any help on this will be deeply appreciated.
P.S - Amazing developer work by the XDA Team on the A500, Thank you guys!

Can you tell us what version you're running? Have you loaded a custom ROM, stock, etc?
I am running 3.2 Taboonay (latest) ROM. This has been a problem since the factory 3.0.
Also, this is a HUGE problem for me as, if some application doesnt open in Landscape and is only for the Portrait Orientation, then I cannot exit the Application as there are no hardware buttons to close the app so the last resort is to restart. I really need a fix for this, help me out. Thanks!
If you can't find any way to fix the issue, there's an app in the market called Button Savior that has soft buttons you can use.

Sounds like maybe a problem with the digitizer. Have you contacted acer about it?

@ TechPlease Thanks Button Savior works perfectly.
@DARKMAN I will do that, I thought it was a software problem.
Thanks a lot!

The animation effect of the recent apps button stutter.

Hi guys,
I found that my nexus 4 when pressing the recent apps button on the navigation bar to call up the recent apps list, the animation effect of that button looks stutter.
For example, when I using the browser and I want to switch to the message app, I press the recent apps button, after I release the button the disappear of the press effect is not smooth. Have anyone also face this problem? Or are there any solution of this problem?
I have already tried to wipe my phone and flash custom rom but the problem still there.
Sorry for my poor Engilsh Please help...

Could you give some more information? Does it happen all the time? When a certain amount of apps are loaded? What ROM is this? etc...

It not happen all the time but quite a lot. I have try stock, CM, AOKP, the problem still here.
Even there is only one app opened.
I took a video of the button, you can see that the smoothness difference between the home button and the recent apps button...
When my finger leave the button the glow effect delay quite a lot compared to the home button.

Chrome problem

I'm trying to get some help with my Note 3 running Free3 2.25, basically whenever I use chrome it opens in a window. The same as if you opened it with the S pen window. I have tried everything I can think of to stop it from doing this. It's really annoying since I have to use the S pen to click on the bottom left corner to get the maximize button to appear and the click that to go full-screen. It will do this even if I switch to another app and have it it the background.

Solved!
Actually I found a solution for this problem, you need to install the Xposed Framework and the XHaloWindow module and blacklist chrome. This fixed the issue on my Note 3 with Free3 2.25 and my brother's S4 running C-ROM. It should work on other ASAP and Samsung ROM'S too.

[Q] Notification Bar Won't Come Down

Hi Forum,
I have a bit a problem with my newly upgraded Note 3. Been searching online for a while now and not getting anywhere, so I thought I might start a post here to ask the experts and hope it would help some others with the same problem. Thank you all in advanced.
I have installed the leaked 5.0 rom on my note 3 only recently and everything seems to be working perfectly fine except I can no longer able to use the swipe down gesture to pull down the notification bar. At first, I thought it was the 3rd party launcher I am using that has compatible issue, but after the trying out 2 other different launchers (even paid for one), the problem still exists.
Basically, if I move my finger all the way up to the top and pull it down, it will work, but if I use the swipe down anywhere gesture offered by 3rd party launchers, it will not. And yes, I have tried different gesture options but none of them works.
Given Note 3 is a large phone and I have been using the same way to pull down my notification bar for many many years, it's very inconvenient for me to operate the phone now. And I am pretty sure there's many more out there with the problem who would understand the frustration I am having now.
I am not sure if it's the rom or if there's anything in regards of the settings... if anyone knows anything about how to fix this. it will be really great!
Anyone? Any ideas? Please?

[Q] Is it possible to remap the default homebutton behaviour?

Hi,
I was hoping that by updating my Galaxy S4 to Lilipop, it would get the same hardware-button behaviour that the galaxy S5 has, especially when starting the taskmanager: on the S5, you only need to click the menu button once to get it, but on the S4, you always need to long-click the home-button, which is sooooo anoying Is there any way to change this, for example using another launcher? I'd prefer doing it without root.
Shouldn't this be a Touchwiz-setting?

You can use another launcher to do it. Problem is that it will only work when you are on the home screen.
You can't do it without root.
I have only seen one rom that has the "One tap menu to recents" feature. The rom is Danvdh's GPE rom. It has the option you're looking for.
Other roms only have the option to bind short-press and long-press to the menu button.
Another option is to use On-Screen buttons. But this will reduce the display area of your screen.
