You can either use a custom rom that has the function to remap hardware keys built in or use an xposed module. I believe Wanam has it built in.

Recents button

Has anybody found a way to change recents button to menu button for single press? I thought this would be in options but it seems not. Thanks
Edit: Xposed additions allows it, as far as I can tell, this is the only way for now.

Can you tell which xposed module you used? I've tried several and none seem to work. Thanks!

Could have been GravityBox [LP]:

EDIT: I managed to change my recents button using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.xposed.additionsgb&hl=en

Switch buttons

Hi,
Is it possible to invert the functions of the "back" and "multitasking" buttons, modifying a file in "system/usr/keylayout", or something like this?

Yea

GravityBox xposed, but i think some custom roms have this function built-in.

I think not, because the symbols are printed on the phone (I'm talking about touch buttons, not the "on screen" buttons)
I didn't find how to do it, anywhere. But anyway, I don't have got the phone, so I'll try when I'm going to have it

is there way to reverse the position of back and menu button on mi a1.?

Here the question is can can turn off the lights off the capacitive buttons and can we exchange the position of the back and recents buttons on mi a1 without root. ( Root methods also appreciated, although I would prefer some non rooted method)
Pls answer this question

There is no way you can switch functions of the capacitive buttons without root, and I'm not aware of any method with rooted Mi A1s that does this.

Turn off backlight of buttons - magisk + magisk xposed + gravitybox (+eventually Tasker with shell code to enable/disable light as needed)
Swap/modify functions of buttons - root not needed, Button Mapper app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton)

I did try button mapper by flar2, it interchanged to function but I lost all the gestures of navigation bar including double tap and long press

That made me loose all gestures such as long press for split screen etc.

Just add actions for button long press in options (might need a pro version).
