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!
Hello
I'm using xtrestolight rom beta 4 lollipop
Any mod to make double home button turn of screen??
Thx
Any help ?
There is something better. Holding your home button will turn it off. Download an app from playstore called "Screen Off and Lock".
P.S: go to setting > Default application > Clear the home button apps. E.G you had it for opening Google search, clear it. Then hold the home button, choose screen off, press always, and done, enjoy.
If you dont want your volume down button to turn on alarms only then follow this below its how to turn it off.
So far the option to disable it is hidden in the N previews. Slide down the quick settings shade and hold down the settings gear icon for a few seconds then let go. You should now unlock a new "System UI Tuner" entry in the settings app, right above "About phone". From there, in the "Do not disturb" section you'll find a "Volume buttons shortcut" toggle. This section does not exist on Marshmellow or older.
Hi guys,
Just figured out how to use the bixby button to toggle mute.
Steps:
1. Make sure Bixby is actually set up (that's right.. Bixby, not BixBye... yet). This step will allow BixBye to function properly on the lockscreen.
1. Download BixBye from the app store and set it up
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=you.in.spark.bixbye
2. Download Mute from app store and set it up https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=muter.muter
3. Set BixBye action to launch app, and select the Mute app
4. Enjoy! =D
** Not sure if anyone knows of an app that toggles between sound, vibrate and mute simply by tapping the app's icon. That would be better than the "Mute" app that only toggles between mute and sound.
I use a widget called Silent Mode to toggle between sound/vibrate/mute. I don't know if that would work for this or not.

My G900A insisted on updating itself to Marshmallow and did so when I wasn't looking. Now when I do a long press on the home button, Google Assistant pops up instead of the regular Google Search. None of the assorted fixes for this I see on the web seem to help. The best I can do is start the Google Search app, then go to "Menu > Settings > Google Assistant > Settings > Phone > Google Assistant" and turn off the slider there. Now when I long-press the home button, I get a dialog telling me to turn on Google Assistant and there's nothing there allowing me to ignore that and carry on like I did prior to this update.
Whoops! The solution is to install "Home Button Launcher". The "Assist" app needs to be manually changed for this to work. Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Device assistance app. Then set the desired app to "Home Button Launcher". By default it should then launch Google Search. A little rocket will seem to come out of the home button, but that's not too terrible a distraction.
