How to swap the recent and back capacitive buttons - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to swap the back and recent capacitive buttons on this phone? I have Tmobile.
I found an app that swaps the function of the buttons (all in one gestures), but it doesn't change the look of the icons.

Settings->Buttons question

Hey. When i go to Settings->Buttons it has a layout of all the buttons (1-5). For Button 4, voice record, has a second option.. Button 4 (Hold). Is there a way to put the "Hold" option on other buttons?
Thanks,

one word,,,,,,,yes
another - Google
look for hbutton
also look for mortbuttons for a slightly different type, which gives you sub menus of apps for each button you press
thanks for the leads. i downloaded the "mortbuttons" app, but i found the interface confusing. In light of this, i tried finding "hbutton," and haven't had any luck; do you have a link for this app? thanks again.

btw it was the third result when i googled 'hbutton'

Titanium Home/Back hw button

I'm using my HD2 with titanium plug-in but I've a problem.
I'am wondering if there is a registry tweak which takes me to the Clock Panel with a short press of the hardware home button or back button like it was on my old HD touch.
As usual thank you for your attention.

Yea usually the app itself has the menu button built into it. Or sometimes it's the rom depending on which one it is.
with on-screen buttons you can customize the navigation bar to your liking rather than needing to conform to hardware buttons.
im a big fan of mechanical buttons, but if youre giving me touch buttons let me customize them.. which is what googles doing with the nexus line
Google got rid of the menu button a long time ago. There is no such thing as "menu" in Android 4.0 and later. The three dots in the action bar is called action overflow.
Don’t call it a menu
Not only should your apps stop relying on the hardware Menu button, but you should stop thinking about your activities using a “menu button” at all. Your activities should provide buttons for important user actions directly in the action bar (or elsewhere on screen). Those that can’t fit in the action bar end up in the action overflow.

[Q] is it possible to switch key functions

Hello everyone.
Last time my touchscreen stopped working. I figured out that every time i use 'end call key' my touch screen is not responding.
Question : Is it possible to switch key fundions? I mean... for example i want to make 'home' key my 'end call key' and vice versa. And if it is possible then how i can do it?
Check out Button Savior. I don't know about remapping hardware keys but this can give you software controls to get around it. There are also a tonne of screen lock widgets that could work, and some ROMs even have it built into quick settings on the notification drawer or the softkeys on ICS+ ROMs.

There used to be an app called button remapper on the play store but I can't find it now!!
Well anyway you can change the button mappings by editing the kepad layout file in /system/usr/keylayout/ folder.
Their will be a few their so you will have to figure out which one to edit for your rom.
Mine is htcleo_keypad.kl.
You will need a root explorer to do this, just open with a text editor!
Make sure to write down the mappings before starting then you can swap them about.
I am not sure but I think the power button isn't changeble but you can assign power to another key.
Ah, I was wondering if I had just gone crazy because I thought I remembered an app by that name but I couldn't find it.

[Q] Enable Onscreen Menu Button

I have rooted my Note 3 and remapped the navigation buttons to match the galaxy nexus I came from. Now that I don't have the menu button is there a way (maybe in the build.prop) to enable the onscreen menu button? If not is there a way to enable all onscreen navigation buttons for the note 3? I tried the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" approach but it caused system ui to crash. Thanks.
Looking for this as well. Got the same UI crash when adding that kind.
Why would you want to when we have hardware buttons?

I remapped my hardware buttons to match my galaxy nexus onscreen buttons (from left to right: Back, Home, Recent Apps). As you can see I don't have a menu button mapped. A lot of apps have the menu button in the UI but it doesn't show up if your device thinks it has a hardware menu button. So what I am looking for is a way to tell android that I do not have a hardware menu button. Thanks.
could you keep us updated if you find anything? could you make a quick tutorial how you were able to remap the buttons, or does it work exactly like on the s3:

Unfortunately not. I just turned the touch key lights off in display settings.
Has anyone figured this out yet?
