I use GravityBox to add additional power menu options.

You could also use apm. It has lots of options. There is a search function in the downloads section of xposed that is helpful in finding what you need quicker.

Thanks will try them out
Would these options allow me to change the double tap power from camera to take a screen shot?

With GravityBox you can add screenshot/record to power menu options along with reboot.

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.

Get xposed installer and install the "xposed additions" module. It allows you to remap any key.

Just a heads up that any remapping of the Home button breaks the ability to take screen shots with Home and Power.
And now does anyone know how to force the 3dot menu on every app? Like the s5 has now?

There is a 3 Dot Menu module available for use with Xposed framework.

Since I couldn't find anything to force the on screen on app menu button I just used gravitybox to make the original back key double tap for menu.
It works alright and I don't need menu button in apps that often.

That will work too. I changed my menu to recents. I also changed long hold menu to menu, and changed the hold time from normal to short

Doesn't work, it'll cause an error message on every screen refresh.

Yeah I have my home button long press action set to be the menu key, and my back key long press is recent apps. I don't really use the menu key since I use the phone one-handed so often (right handed).
As a bonus, I have home button long press activate torch only on the lock screen.

I have xposed additions pro - I don't know whether or not that option is available in the free version.
Now they also added a screenshot function that you can bind any key short press, long press, or double tap.

Capative buttons

Hi I coming from the nexus 5 and I love the on screen buttons. I love everything about the s5 but I not a fan of the buttons. I wanted to know if can turn them off or remap then so that they do nothing. Also maybe get home button to turn on and off the phone so that I don't have to use the power button on the side. Let me know if you have a way to do it. I prefer not to have to go and edit some XML file. If there is an app or setting I can use to do that for me that would be great.

Turn the backlights off in the display menu, install Gravity Box and set up the NavBar options etc, regarding re-mapping the home button, it's available on Custom ROMS but not sure if an Xposed module can/would work.

Thanks. Now I need to see if I can remap the buttons. I currently have infinity ROM which doesn't give the option for it.
Wanam Xpose should all need that options.

Stock power menu

I use gravity box to remap long press home button to bring up the advanced power menu. The a7 already has some form of advanced power menu built in. The problem is this conflicts with gravity box and the long press doesn't bring up any power menu at all. Is there a way of disabling what's built in?
Of course device is bootloader unlocked and rooted. I'm guess it's something in framework?
Good idea. Just mapped quick reboot to open on long press... Works great.

I'm using NeoPowerMenu (Xposed module) and so far it's working great. It does replace the built-in power menu.
^^If another xposed module works, it's surprising the one built into gravity box doesn't. Part of the appeal of GB is having so many tweaks within one app rather than installing multiple apps.

Disable camera from lockscreen

This stupid phone takes pictures all the time. Figured out if you press the volume key while the phone is locked it takes a picture. Please tell me how to stop this.

Assuming you're on stock rom, go to device Settings and look for Shortcuts. I'm using a custom rom and I forgot under which exact menu option you can find the hardware button Shortcuts settings but it's there, along with other power and volume button preset shortcuts that you can disable.
Thank you so much
