I'm trying to find out how to remap the long-press Menu and assign it to Google Now voice activation. I have Wanam Xposed installed with the Xposed Additions Pro, but that doesn't give me a way to remap long-press Menu. I've browsed the files in the keylayout folder, but don't want to perform guesswork in there for obvious reasons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I believe I've seen button remapping options in GravityBox for xposed, however I don't use GB as it does not like TouchWiz based roms and many features simply don't function.
i use GB with KK and find that almost everything works and you can see the features here
you can also check the Xposed repo where i am sure you can find something here
good luck

Xposed Additions does allow long press remapping but you can't choose an app for it, just system functions. The easiest way to to it is to just delete S-Voice and it will default to Google Now.
Thanks for all the replies...

I've already disabled S-Voice, but now nothing happens when I long press Menu...can't seem to assign anything to it either...even via Xposed Additions Pro...

Unfortunately I'm on OTA KK (TouchWiz) so it sounds like GB won't work properly

I forgot that you also need to delete S-Finder, I have Google Now working on mine with the menu long press.
I found an Xposed module that works, it's Xbutton Actions, you can find it here.

I just picked up my S4 yesterday and am loving it so far (came from an ELTE). However, I would really like to map the long press of each of the 3 buttons to something else. The main things I would like to be able to access with the buttons are: voice search, in-app search and kill current app. I've searched around and haven't found much. Please let me know if there's a way to do this!
Thanks!
This isn't possible on a stock rom, but some custom roms have this ability, like Slim bean

Thank you for the reply. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I've rooted my phone, but I'm waiting until after the 14 day return period to flash a custom recovery/rom (so as to avoid any shenanigans if I decide to return it). I guess I'll have to wait until then for this functionality.
You can try one of the xposed modules. They work on stock rooted, odexed or deodexed. The latest one is available on the market called wanam xposed. Follow the instructions, you will have to download the xposed framework and install it before you run the wanum xposed. There is also nottach xposed you can find in the apps section in this forum. Not all of the features work for our phone but many do especially the new wanum xposed.
Won't modify the system files do the trick?

Cruise, your suggestion worked perfectly. Remapped the buttons the way I wanted, and got some other nice tweaks, too. Thanks again!

Hey dodgeboy...I came across your thread here while looking for the same solution to remap the menu key to long press kill app. I'm sort of noob on this stuff, but wondered if you can tell me exactly what you installed to make this happen? I'm on Stock Rooted, MF9, Deodexed. Hope this doesn't bug you. Thanks sir.
I know there is a way of removing the icon labels on the lockscreen shortcuts but where is this setting hidden?
Someone please help.
I have added a screenshot to show you what im talking about.
Under the voice search app i would like to remove the words "voice search"
Can anyone help me with this?
so theres really no one that can help me with this ???
Not sure what version of android you are running, but I looked on my international D802 4.4.2 and I didn't see the option to remove the words underneath it. Only options were to remove or add lock-screen shortcuts. If you are rooted you may be able to do something about it, other then that, I would wait for the 2.5 version of Xposed, maybe?

Install Xposed Framework and G2 Xposed.
The stock rom will not give you the option to hide them.

G2 Xposed does not have this option. I already have it.

On Home it might only need Home2, but you can do a lot more stuff with GravityBox (needs xposed).

I am talking about hardware buttons, It should be saved in the file somewhere no? By editing file I should remap it. I tried editing "system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl" but it doesnt help. Which file I need to edit?
P.S. I think I found how to do it!!!

Hi, I have the Ambasadii ROM, which I really like, it's this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-lollipop-ambasadii-t3055001/
But I'm really missing the power menu options to control ringtone volume. I've seen posts that allow you to add this back but they all use Xposed, which I think my ROM can't support. Can anyone tell me how to add these controls without Xposed? I am rooted and could probably manage a low-level config tweak if that's the only way.
Thanks

Thank you for pointing out that post. It's for the S5 and it looks like it's not been tried by anyone else. I have done a bit of research around modifying framework.res.apk. Would you recommend giving it a go on my phone? I guess it would be sensibe to make an Nandroid backup before doing it?
Thanks
