I'm using Nova Launcher and when I hit the menu button(left to home key) it opens
a little nova launcher menu. How do I reassign that button back to recents?
anyone?
even i am using nova, when i click the left button, recent apps opens..
And when I click the same left button, a small nova menu opens. That's exactly what
I'm trying to change.

Are you using a custom ROM or anything? Normal behaviour on the recents button is recent. Long press brings menu.

Yes. I'm Using Omega v1.2
I'm guessing it's been reversed in the ROM
I'd check in the omega ROM thread

I use launcher pro which has changed my side scrolling apps screens to one vertical scroll screen. I prefer that, it's faster.
However, if I press the bottom left menu capacitor button, it's meant to bring up an edit button and then I should be able to add folders to my apps drawer so I can drag apps into them. But pressing the bottom left menu button does nothing except bring up my browser if I long press it. Anyone found a way around it? I'm guessing 'add folder' and 'add page' only works with stock launcher? Menu button only works from home screen or from within apps themselves, but not from the apps drawer.

Seems like it yeah. So, won't work with other launchers either such as GO launcher or ADW launcher, just the stock one then?

Menu key? I'm not sure I'm following you.

Do you mean the icon on the center that opens up the app drawer? I suppose you're using a custom launcher?
Long-press any part of the empty screen, click Shortcut, and find an item that says launcher (or something equivalent), like how you would add a shortcut of an app on homescreen.
Then click that icon, and drag it to where menu key originally was.
hehehe thats not called the menu key its called app drawer (or app button even, the menu key is the four line button beside your back button). I'm going to assume you are on cm7 with adw because as far as i know that is the most used.... and i may have done it once or twice before. Press and hold on an empty space on your home screen. click Launcher actions. choose open close app drawer. enjoy don't feel too stupid it happens to the best of us.
Yes I did mean the app drawer...sorry. I got it back now...thanks for all the help!!!
Hi, I'm new to LG and tried search for the shortcut key for "screen capture" (Print screen).
Is there any default shortcut key for LG G2?
Anyway how to capture screen?
Thx.

Power button and Down Vol button
Thanks.
Both button is very close, hardly to press at the same time

TBH, it is kind of flaky. What I ended up doing was using an app to link a long press of the HOME key to SCREENSHOT.
Works much better that way
Swipe up from the home button and use quick memo on the right. It takes a screenshot and then you just press save.

I use the exposed module "Advanced power menu" so when I hold down power, I can reboot, reboot in recovery, power off, or take screenshot....

Now this I likes!!
Nice! Didn't know about the swipe up from home and forgot about the Advanced Power Menu. I was using that at one point and in the process of putting on new roms all the time I forgot to re-engage it.
Thanks for the protips!
Anyone know how to remap the "Home Swipe Left"?
I would like to see voice search there.
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!

you can install a laucher which lets you put custom functions on that button.
I use Nova Launcher and it has this ability.
Yes, but that works only on the home screen.
Most custom roms have the ability to change the menu button function.
I have mine set to long-press: recents.

Earlier I was on stock ROM, but now I have installed Aurora S6 ROM so now, the left button is transformed into recent apps button...
Thanks all for the help
