Hello everyone!
Saw the S5 announcement few days ago and noticed the changes made to the button layout. I'd like to know if there's a way to remap the menu button to work as a recent apps button. And better yet if it's possible to assign the "menu" function to a long press. I've searched Google but all the alternatives I see are for HTC phones or for onscreen buttons.
Thanks in advance!

Look for an app called 'Xposed Additions'. It will do both the things you want.
Installed it. Tried to configure the remapping but it's not doing anything. I hit the "remap" and a window pops up that says key code and it appears that it's waiting for some input, I hit a button but nothing happens.

Forget it, just nailed it. Reinstalled, rebooted and all is working as I want to. Thank you!

Xposed Addition doesnt support KK.
Is there another way for this other than Gravity Box for TW Kitkat?

How about MenuBeGone, I'm running this on my 4.4.2 SM-N9005
And it got option to select apps that you don't want to have overflow button on them (like on Action Memo that 3-dot menu replaces delete -button, so you can't delete any memos.. but where do you need menu at all on Action Memo, so just uncheck it on MBC and you're good)
Edit: And it also can remap long press on menu button to show menu (while menu button is remapped to open recent apps)

Which build are you on? (also towelrooted?)
So you remapped menu button=recent and long press=menu. (like on the S5?)
I dont get what you mean with the Action memo though. But from the Description of the App I can tell that youre talking about the Whitelisting?
Thanks.

Yes, some apps get "broken" look when 3-dot menu is enabled on them (like contacts) and yes, long press on "settings" button opens menu, while short opens recent tasks.
About Action Memo see screenshot: menu button "hides" detelete if not whitelisted from MBC
Edit: to make it clear, that module enables "3-dot menu button" on all applications by default. From module settings you can disable that button on selected apps. That module also sets devices settings button to open recent tasks and long press to open settings (so by long pressing you can reach menu also on apps you have disabled to use 3-dot menu)

I got it, thanks. Tried out and its working fine. In Nova launcher the Menu button blinks a lot though - on long press.
There is a certain delay. But I think i will try xposed additions some time later but for now its fine i guess
Thank you!
Does anyone know a way to disable the home button long-press shortcut to google now? That way the home button responds a lot quicker
anyone?

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.
Hi. I want to remap the functions of the home button as follows:
Click - Home
Long press - Menu/Recent
Double tap - Back
and then eventually disable the softkeys all together. Now, I used xposed additions to open the Menu/Recent on long press, but there's no function for changing how it works when double tapping. Home2 shortcut only lets me open an app while double tapping, and that's not what I want.
Help?
I use gravity box to remap long press home button to bring up the advanced power menu. The a7 already has some form of advanced power menu built in. The problem is this conflicts with gravity box and the long press doesn't bring up any power menu at all. Is there a way of disabling what's built in?
Of course device is bootloader unlocked and rooted. I'm guess it's something in framework?
Good idea. Just mapped quick reboot to open on long press... Works great.

I'm using NeoPowerMenu (Xposed module) and so far it's working great. It does replace the built-in power menu.
^^If another xposed module works, it's surprising the one built into gravity box doesn't. Part of the appeal of GB is having so many tweaks within one app rather than installing multiple apps.
Hi i want to tell a a idea to make custom rom or xposed module that make bixby button work as camera button like old sony ericcson xperia becose i thing camera button is more usefull then bixby button
There's a few apps out there, go to the Play Store and search for "Bixby". No module nor ROM needed, but root most definitely required for those apps as they disable or enable Bixby Home and Bixby Voice (I deleted both and now can't get the thing to work at all).
You can use BxActions. If you are rooted I found Button Mapper by flar2 a better solution as it does the remapping seamlessly and has single tap, double tap and long press mapping.
