Mapping buttons - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have just acquired a note 4 and I want to use the recents button as the menu button without having to long press (I forget sometimes)
I am fully rooted so I can make any modifications needed.
Please help ^-^

[Q] Plz help key mapping

I used a nexus device, and the multitaking button was very useful.
So, I want to use multitasking button in galaxy s4, too.
I changed the menu button to the multitaking button by fixing generic.kl.
But it is hard to use without a menu button, so I need more key mapping, and this needs to fix android.policy.jar.
1. I want long press of multitasking button(which was menu button) to bring the menu.
2. I want long press of home button to kill the last app.
3. I want long press of volume button to always skip music tracks. I know there is a way to make long press of volume button skip music tracks when the phone is in sleep mode. But I want long press of volume button to skip music tracks during games, internet, etc.
Plz help me to do it~
My aim is to make the xposed module.

[Q] Switch hold home button and menu button functions

Hi
I bought galaxy s4 last month but I am not happy with functionality of the home and sensor buttons. In my opinion switch application (the list of all previously opened apps) is very important button and I am not happy to wait whole second holding down home button to get simple alt+tab feature. At all this big hardware button does not fit in the whole picture and its the biggest mistake of this phone. Now I cannot remove it but at least I want to use it as much as little I can. So I want to switch menu button and "hold home" buttons. Its far more sensible to make separate sensor button for switching app than use it for menu functionality. I didn't root my phone and I don't want to root it but if its needed to get rid of this stupidness I will make it. So is there any way to switch menu button and "hold home" button?
thx

[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

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.

how to enable NavBar (on screen button) and disable 2 soft buttons ala nexus

im desperately looking for a modification that disable the 2 soft buttons (left and right centre home button), and create 3x on screen buttons? so it will be like nexus or LG with just one centre hard button like apple kind of thing. i have galaxy note 3 N9005, rooted.
at the moment i used x-note custom rom with this feature built in, but looking to flash another custom rom but i really want to retain this feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-x-note-build-21-nj4-t2947649
So surprise no other custom rom ever have this feature....
please help? thank you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163932

All you have to do is add this to /system/build.prop and reboot.
# enable soft navigation keys
