I was trying to get the menu key to work as app switcher (did it) and was trying to find out a way to have menu key long press act as menu. At some point the menu, back and power keys stopped working. I did have backup of the Generic.kl and I restored the original but the keys still aren't working (I've rebooted twice). Any ideas what to do other than reflash the phone and pop the knox?
EDIT: I copied the original build.prop and Generic.kl from backup and now the phone doesn't go past the first Galaxy S4 screen. It does boot to recovery when I remove sim-card but I'm not keen on losing my warranty yet so I think I have to take it to the shop :/
Hi,
My L720-S4 is experiencing a failure of the touch buttons (menu and return buttons next to the home button). I've researched and tried various programs, such as Virtual Button Bar and Button Savior. With these programs, the return function works well but the MENU button does not work.
I've done Xposed but that didn't have the options for the MENU button that I could find.
So after further research, I rooted the device to edit the /SYSTEM/USR/KEYLAYOUT/GENERIC.KL file to change the volume down button (114) to MENU. Unfortunately this also does not work.
Can I get some advice or suggestion as how I may go about reprogramming on of the keys to act as the MENU button ideally or have a menu button GUI overlay like the two software above? Device is currently on stock ROM @ 4.4.2.
Many thanks in advance for those that can help save this S4.
Cheers!
The Sprint S4 boot loader comes unlocked,and since youre already rooted,just flash a stock ROM or ODIN back to stock and re-root. All of this assuming you just want the buttons to work like stock.

It's probably me but what you suggest seems to be where I'm at right now. Flashing back to stock then re-rooting is the same as me rooting the stock ROM. If at all possible, I'm trying to map the volume down button with one press to work in place of the defective MENU button and a long hold of the volume down button will lower the volume.
Again, maybe I miss understood your suggestion so my apologies if that's the case and hope you'll explain in more detail.
Cheers!

Flash stock, Factory reset, don't edit or change anything, see if it works
"part`s touch version fw" controls those touch keys, obviously that's the problem

Ok i did that i flash first kitkat ever for my phone (G900FXXU1ANCE_G900FOXX1ANC7_G900FXXU1ANCE_HOME.tar) now my "Phone`s Touch key FW version: 0x1a" but "Part`s Touch key FW version: 0x1d" stay same. When i try to update its say that "IC`s F/W is higher than Bin`s F/W" what i can do know? I tried also this ROM and auto pressing is less frequent but back light on recent still dosnt work, just on back button.
