Can you clarify a little? I don't get what exactly you want to do.
I think he means the menu button on navbar.. Long press latest button for menu

Its redundant now since nearly every app has the 3 dots menu on top right
I personally like it on the bottom and I'm sure a bunch of others do too.
Keep pressed the recent button and you will have menu settings.

What if you want to quickly change settings in Nova, or one of many other apps? Long pressing the recents button is very convenient.
I still like to have the good old menu button there, I got used to it and I don't want to move my finger all the way to the top and have to grip the phone differently to hit menu..
So my order of buttons is this(from the left) - recent - back - home - menu -
I use g2 xposed to do that... So untill I can modify this on the g3 rom i will keep using the cloudyflex rom.

G2 Xposed is the best way to do this, but won't work with that ROM. Also I wouldn't get used to having that button. Google will likely pull the code in the next version or two so even ROM developers couldn't effectively make a consistent experience. It's only in there for backwards compatibility now for phones with the physical menu button.

Just was wondering if there is still a way to access the menu with the button or anyway to change that?
I use the menu feature much more frequently then recent apps on my device.
If that can't be changed that might make it harder for me to use.
Not a deal breaker from me buying it but can be annoying.
Long press the Recent apps can open Menu
Okay.
Good to know.
Thank you for sharing.
I feel less bothered by that now.
isnt there any way to change it back to normal ???? its really annoying to long press eveytime !!
Wish I could change it. Been searching with no positive results

You'll need root, then install xposed framework followed by gravitybox... a search on xda will explain these things If you need help

That is not the menu button.
I am also wanting to go back to the old layout and get rid of the stupid app switcher.

Buy a S4 and yes, long press task for menu
Good morning all,
I feel so stupid for asking this, but the menu button does not seem to work the way my other androids did in the past. Is there a function that I need to turn on or something? Thanks

Ok will do. thanks for your help sir.

Not sure if this is launcher specific but I'm using Nova Prime and if you long press the menu button, then the original menu items pop up instead of recent apps. I never test with TW launcher. Discovered this later. But this way you don't have to remap with gravity box.

I'm not even sure what gravitybox even is. I tried to see if it was in the app storre. someone else in the thread recommended to do so....
FYI - the layout used in the S5 is the standard Android button layout and you will see fewer and fewer devices using a dedicated menu button, as there's no need for it in Android 4.x+

Gravity BOX is a module that is installed after you first use Xposed Installer. Google this or look it up in a search here on XDA.
I got tired of long pressing to get to menu so I made a flashable zip to make recents button the menu button.Make a backup to go back to undo this mod if you want to go back.This only tested on T-Mobile N910T

I'm relatively new to Nova, is there a way to swap the menu and recent apps with Nova. I can't seem access the menu function with this launcher.
swap without this mod or swap with this mod u mean?
Sorry I meant without the MOD, since I'm not rooted. I thought nova might have this, but I can't seem to find it.
to swap it no way thats y I made the mod most things you have to root.

Thanks for making this! I still haven't gotten used to tap-recents, long press-menu
but a few questions
1. For stock Touchwiz is it tap - menu and long press-recents yeah?
2. Could I just back up the Generic.kl file in the device and take the one from the zip to replace? And vice versa if I wanted to go back to just replace it with the old one?
3. Also can you/I just replace the generic.kl file in the zip with the one on the device to make a flashable version to go back? Or is making flashable zips not as easy or simple as I thought? Lol

touchwiz i dont think they have a way to assign long button behavior so dont think long press would bring recents and second yes if u replace after u flash my zip and want the old way back yes switch the generic file and u should be back or u can backup rom and restore.

Wait so the mod only makes the button the menu button a single option button? If so how do you get to the recent apps?

I did that for a while but the downside is you have to be already on the homescreen for it to work... At least on beta 4. I looked into doing this mod myself but just decided on Gravitybox vs Wanam. You get way more options for customization. But this is cool for those with issues with xposed or who prefer Wanam module Good work!
I used Gravitybox to remap the recents button to short press=menu, long press=recents. Needs root & Xposed obvs, but it works. I also have long press back to launch google.
Weird thing though- I can't find any options for button remapping in Nova. I can set the home button to whatever I want but no others.

Wow, I literally do not have that option at all. Then again, I'm on the latest beta so maybe they removed it for some reason...?
I flashed Lollipop 5.0.2 and GAPPS 5.0.1 onto my SM-N9005 the other day, however I can't access the app switcher. It used to be hold the home button, but now everything I've read said there should be a square symbol for accessing it where the back arrow is. My settings and back arrow are the same as they were on KitKat.
I tried installing an app switcher from the play store, but it always said that there were no apps running, even when I was in an app (and yes, I tried rebooting after installing it). I've spent hours searching for this and can't find anyone else having a similar problem. Can someone please help me get to the app switcher?
App switcher or recent apps panel comes up by holding home button

Not for me it doesn't. I've held it down for as long as 10 seconds and nothing happens. As soon as I release the home button it takes me to my home page. Makes me think that it's not installed or running properly. Is there a apk I can install?

Try all in one gestures in playstore
So i guess it's a CM12, aosp, whatever based rom.
It definitely has a "Button configuration setting" in the rom settings. Did you even look ?
The square simbol you are mentioning is there when you enable the soft keys (navigation bar) and acts like the recent apps switcher.
But the hardware buttons should work too, if you configure them right.

I'm using the Dirty Unicorn rom, I didn't realise you could change the button configurations. I looked through all the standard settings, didn't think to look in the dirty tweaks section. Thanks for your help
Ok so i got my edge plus yesterday. Been using the regular s6 for a few months now and in the xda app there is a actual menu button with 3 dots that kinda hovers down at the bottom. Well on my plus it isnt there. Cant figure out how to being up the menu. If i hold back with a longpress it just starts backing out. Holding home brings up google now. And holding the task brings up multiwindow.
My problem is i cant bring up the menu to create a new thread. Thats why im posting this on my s6 rather than my edge.
Is it something simple im just overlooking?

Yeah I have the same issue. One thing you can do though (not a permanent solution) is to go to accessibility settings and then add that hovering extra button and in that way you can access the menu button.

I wrote about this over in the Note 5 forum. Nonfiction except to use the XDA premium app, which I think is inferior.
Actually the sad thing is that there's so little one can do to the locked device that I stuck to the free version and it doesnt matter as I hardly have a need to create new forums like the old days (where are you now, HD2???).

Here is the temp fix guys the problem is a lot of apps detect if there is a hardware menu button and omit showing the soft 3 dot button common in a lot of apps. The S5 has no dedicated menu button but it does have the long press home button option to launch the More options/Menu button, however out Galaxy S6 models do not have this option. BUT some apps still detect it and delete their in app button.
Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
At the top right slide the off button to on to enable the Assistant menu icon on all screens. Then click on the Edit option. In the edit menu deselect all the buttons you do not need by hitting the red negative on the icons (-) in the upper part of the screen. (note it has two buttons that you cannot remove Home Screen, and Menu Settings) on the bottom half of the page hit the green plus sign (+) on the More Options button (It has 3 dots).
Now on all screens is a little round button with 4 dots on it, it appears on all screens in all programs and is floating. There is the More options button now which is the software menu button we are missing =). You can just go back and disable Assistant menu afterward or like me leave this handy button on because I have multiple programs that do this.
Hope this helps guys Cheers!

Yeah I tried that it did not work in the app that I run that I could not get to the menu with, I will try another program and see if I can get that to work. I also tried many of the other options I could find through the searches. See the reply above mine in this thread.
