[Q] Now I have android on nand, how to map win key to app menu?

Hi everyone, I've searched but I can't seem to find anything.
What would be the file to edit and code to map hard key with windows logo to the application drawer to open in home screen only? Is this something possible? I'm using AWD launcher
Is there another way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
why would you like that ? it's useless
Yup pretty useless
So how would you bring up the menu?
Well, i do see what you mean with useless... but would be nice to have short press for programs and long press for normal menu you get when pressing it...
Not that important anyways!
Long press is already used to bring up keyboard and to hide it.

hey everyone
first I'd like to congratulate for new forum
and secondly I have a big bad question form devs
it won't be better if you guys change home button which currently opens search with the menu button that takes us to the home??
so the home button shows home and menu button search
I thought we all have got used to do it that way in both android and winmo(which is now dead).
in my opinion it would be much easier
what about you dear friend?

[Q] is it possible to change key functions?

I was wondering if there is a way to change key functions on note 3, for example: by pressing menu key we can see recent apps instead of menu
I would be thankful if anyone can suggest a solution to do this:good::laugh:

There are actually a couple different ways to do it...
You can used Xposed mod, with either Xposed Additions or MenuBeGone
(I've never used either of these methods...)
or, the way that I do it, manually edit the \system\usr\keylayout\Generic.kl file.
When I do it, I make the following two changes:
Change key 139 from MENU to BACK
Change key 158 from BACK to APP_SWITCH
Then I use button savior to add the menu for those things that need it...
(I'm coming from Nexus devices, so having the keys with back on the left, and app switch on the right is how I'm used to it...)
Ever wondered to use Google search ? Just saying.

[Q] AHHHHH I want my old galaxy button layout!!

Hi All
I've just got a S5 today. Overall I like it a lot however the bloody button res-assignments is soooooooo annoying!
Is there any to re-map the button layout back to the older galaxy versions? I.E.
Press the left button and the menu will activate (I know if I hold it down it will work but I keep forgetting and it brings up the tasker)
Hold the home button to bring up the tasker.
Frustrating yours

Root it -> Install Xposed -> Install GravityBox
Thanks, I had thought about it but its a new fone and you know what Samsung are like... I'm leaving towards re-mapping the key.
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Anyone know the key number for the left button (Is it 138), what would I need to change to make the default option a menu. I suppose thinking out loud I want to swap the commands over. I.e. I press the key once I get the menu, press and hold I get the tasker.
Thanks
P.
Just long press the left button and the options come up

Your best bet is to use gravity box, as suggested above. You can only change the recents function to menu via the file you mentioned. I believe the rest of the options you want are smali edits.
