Is anyway that I can replace the menu button with a recent button and get all my apps to do like aosp rooms where when you open an app you get a menu button come on?
And I'm rooted fyi . Everything I've used ie g2xposed and g2 tweakbox to change to have back home recent setup I don't get the little menu button,have to make a long press for menu or 4th button and don't care for either..

Pick enable button combination in tweaksbox and then just change it in settings - display.

On my Evo LTE running CM10 the recent apps button on short press opens settings and long press opens recent apps. I like this function vs having to have a shortcut on the desktop or getting to it from notifications. On most newer phones/tablets running ICS/JB there are mods that remap this function but I've not seen this anywhere for the Nexus. I"m running stock but rooted and would prefer to stay that way if i can. Does anyone either know how to do it or if there's a mod floating around that i was unable to find using "search"?
I would also love to customize what app is opened when sliding up from the soft keys, if that's related.

No that's not exactly what i'm talking about but i would like to do that as well. If i understand correctly if you hold any of the software key/button (IE back, home, or recent apps) and slide your finger up there is a dotted circle with google search button at the top. If i could place the settings app there that would get me by. As for now when i hit the recent apps button i would prefer that to be the settings button or being able to long press the button to open settings. I think what i want is a limitation of the launcher but who knows. Anyone who does have any idea how to do this please let me know. I did attempt to edit the keys file in system/usr/keylayout by trying to add an extra key for settings but it didn't work.
Brand new N10 and just unlocked and rooted running the stock ROM for now.
Is there any way to remap the recent button to the menu button instead?
Well, ParanoidAndroid mapped a long press of the recents button to menu.
Run a custom ROM and configure the buttons however you want. You can set what they do for each button, add or remove buttons (up to 7 max), set what each button does when long-pressed, and even change the icon of any of the buttons. This is called the "AOKP style navbar" in most ROMs. Obviously that means you will get these features by running AOKP, but many other ROMs also use this same feature and way it is configured.
You should looking into Mr.Robinson's AOKP PUB ROM, it seems to be most people's favorite
I usually switch around my back and recents button, it just seems easier to work with how I hold my tablet and phone this way. I also like to make long pressing the back button automatically switch to the last used app I was on. Long pressing the recents button (for me) kills all open apps.

Download GravityBox[KK] from Xposed. You can modify what they keys do in there. If you don't have Xposed then HERE is the link
I think that's better use MenuBeGone xposed module.
It does only that..
Works for me on stock samsung touchwix rom (gng8).
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
Paul

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.
Do the back and menu button work on cm13 or do you have to use the softkeys?
THX
Back and menu key work as intented. That means that back is for back and menu is for the menu, and not for the recents.

great, sorry forgot to ask what about the home button. thanks
Buttons work as intended and you can even configure the Menu button to either open the menu or recent apps switcher.
