are you using gravity box with xposed framework?
i lost recent button as well when using gravity box and messing with the hardware keys options, long press, double tap, etc
i would uninstall gravity box if you have it and see what happens.

Nope ... no gravity box. Haven't messed with any settings in quite some time and *poof* I open recents one day and the task manager and close all buttons are gone.

if thats the case, id install xposed frameworks, install gravity box, mess with the hardware keys options and see if that FIXES it. If not, your next option would be to do a clean wipe and flash.

Yeah I run xposed with Wanam and a couple other modules. Worth a try I reckon ... Could update to latest release while I'm at it still on NI2 that should take care of it as well ...

Wanam is great for theme-ing , call, security and other tweaks, but i havent seen much about hardware keys in there, your best bet is gravity box for your recent key to come back.

Understood re: Wanam ... was just saying I have it in reply to the suggestion I install xposed. Will give it a try.
Didn't make any changes to the phone and *poof* just as mysteriously as they disappeared, they are back ... *shrug*

Sideload and install gmd hide soft keys run it and select hide soft keys keys and setup your quick nav bar ..my suggestion is to use the pro version of gmd and set navigation control's to none and then use udn pro as your navbar which seems to work better for me

Works great, but how do you get the new nav bar to push everything up when on the bottom? Right now I have it set to 20px so it doesn't interfere with much, but it conflicts with my keyboard from time to time...

Did you guys lose menu buttons on some apps after installing these? My menu buttons for Voice and Trillian for instance have vanished and the menu button for the bar doesn't work on most apps for me.
Edit: Never mind, my issue was related to a busybox installation that was fixed by installing with a different installer. Oops.
Thanks for the info on this, it's very useful and stock is kinda lackluster.

I used the one from Faznx92's root tutorials, but I never had a busybox problem...
Something weird is going on, I got the menu problem again after rebooting I guess. Every time I uninstall busybox I get them back. I'll try the method OP used.
Edit: I keep getting the same problem. Each time I enable the auto hide soft keys app, I lose menu buttons in apps. Thr trick I found is to launch them all after booting then enable the auto hide. Just need to do that every time you reboot.
I would still love to be able to fix it for good
Freeze or uninstall stock "Soft Key Bar?"
Is it possible to remove it completly? I use auto hide soft keys but the stock Soft Key Bar interferes with it.

Do you guys know any way of swapping the default navbar with an aosp navbar? I want it to stay without hiding. I am mainly missing the recent apps button in the default navbar.
Thanks a lot!
You can disable the navbar with gravity box and use pie controls. That's what I do
Use UDN lite. Its far better and has more customization in the free version.

I am wondering the same thing, also the clear all button in the recent apps.
Good morning all,
I feel so stupid for asking this, but the menu button does not seem to work the way my other androids did in the past. Is there a function that I need to turn on or something? Thanks
install GravityBox and reassign buttons)) or just try to long press Recent button
Ok will do. thanks for your help sir.

Not sure if this is launcher specific but I'm using Nova Prime and if you long press the menu button, then the original menu items pop up instead of recent apps. I never test with TW launcher. Discovered this later. But this way you don't have to remap with gravity box.

I'm not even sure what gravitybox even is. I tried to see if it was in the app storre. someone else in the thread recommended to do so....
FYI - the layout used in the S5 is the standard Android button layout and you will see fewer and fewer devices using a dedicated menu button, as there's no need for it in Android 4.x+

Gravity BOX is a module that is installed after you first use Xposed Installer. Google this or look it up in a search here on XDA.
Hi all

What do you mean the hardware button will be safer?? With 2gb ram what s the point to check open apps? It should be used the opposite way...long press to get to task manager, normal touch to get to menu...I ll wait for the other member to show up with the solution hopefully

Well, actually there is a solution since you are rooted: install Xposed framework, then install/check Gravity Box module within the framework menu. Go into the Gravity Box and assign the buttons to your liking, restart the device and voila!

You made me smile again...how could I miss normal samsung function...I''m on Galaxy phones since I9000 (s1)...this recent app button made my life harder on the s5...
Thanks again and again!
For the rest here just a hint...it needs a reboot after framework installation and after Gravity box installation...
Thanks again my friend!
You are very welcome, but you could activate the menu function just holding the recent apps button for 0.3 secs without using any additional apps. Anyways, glad i could help

Has anyone seen a way to swap the soft Nav buttons around yet via Xposed or any other route? Also anyway to add a quick menu on the bottom right like the Euphoria Rom has for the Nexus 6?
Gravitybox
Thank you! Now I just have to get the steps to install Xposed!
Get rid of those nav buttons altogether, and get some pie. You can have all sorts of buttons.

Is there a way to force auto hide or hide on demand??? And how do you remove them alrogether???
Never liked the idea of pie it seemed cumbersome. And half the time i accidentally hit the area to launch the pie..

I used to be indifferent about Pie, until I actually tried it. Now I can't live without it. It's so much easier to just place your finger along either side of the screen, or the top and bottom, and have your nav buttons come up. Especially on larger screens. I also like having a "clean" screen, so the more UI items I can hide, the better.
What's the recommended pie app?

Gravity box has it, or you can grab the standalone app in Play Store.
I use an app from play store called "back button" and have a semi transparent back and notification drop button on the right side. I can't quite hit the back button comfortably. (see pic)

The link you provided is what I'm currently using. Works great. Read the thread though. Someone flashed this then tried xposed. Not sure what he/she did on xposed, but I believe it caused issues.

I cannot get to the menu on TIB on the phone. it doesn't show in either screen.
(can't get image attached for some reason)
But it is supposed to be in top right hand corner says Menu in overview screen, or the 3 vertical dots in other screens.
Anyone else notice this? any suggestions for a fix. I don't believe it's TiB issue cause only happens on this phone works just fine on my S6

It's like this for me as well. I used the menu button in Mipop to get to tibu's menu. I later used gravity box to map menu to a longpress of the back button. Hope this helps.

You can click problems in the TB screen, it will prompt you with preference option

if you have root i assume you know how to get xposed.
Once you have that, install this module and reboot, you should now have menu option in any app that doesn't show it currently.
I think, most of xposed user will install GravityBox and there is also a keymapping option and youre free, which key shall use an menue function. work fine with TB

It has a menu button it just doesn't show on this phone for some reason. I suspect DPI issue. But button remap works great since it works on any open app.
