Hello there,
As of now, Xposed is still not supported in LOS 14.1 as stated by the person maintaining it in this recent post. Is there a way to make the hardware buttons operate inverted? Right now the left button is "BACK" and the right button is "RECENTS" without any way to change it directly from the settings menu.
I have tried editing the file
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
directly from the TWRP terminal using VI, in the following entries:
Code:
key 139 MENU --> key 139 BACK
key 158 BACK --> key 158 MENU
But even after rebooting, the changes didn't happen. I checked the Generic.kl file and the changes persisted but no change whatsoever. Has anyone tried ButtonMapper ?? The pro version allows changing the button mapping but it seems like a temporal solution rather than a permanent, more elegant one.
Thanks for any help provided!

The free version allows swapping back and recents. It doesn't require root and is less intrusive than using xposed.

The free version doesn't allow it. Just wanted to confirm if anyone tried it and does it work properly?
Thanks for the reply!

You are COMPLETELY wrong, Free version Does allow Swap of the hardware keys
Just toggle when it say " Swap Back and Recents " ,will stick at boot ,but will needs to be reenable when dirty flash a new build. Been using since the first LineageOS build.

You are COMPLETELY right, my bad! Thanks for the tip and to @flar2 as well. I completely missed that option. Thanks for your work with LOS 14.1!

Just in case, this has been posted, I can confirm it works just fine. POST. The difference is that @XblackdemonX edited the Synpatics.kl file instead of Generic.kl.
Hello K3 Note users!
So, about 5 months ago I discovered that my back and menu keys were not working. I tried rebooting the device, pulling the battery out, changing the ROM and I even opened the phone up, to see, if every wire was connected properly....but the problem wasn't to be found. I also tried to get some support from the Lenovo's website, but I ended up getting none.
Eventually I found a workaround, that does not fix the problem itself, but it makes the phone usable again.
The solution is easy and it has already been written before:
1) Flash a custom ROM.
2) Make sure that you have ROOT.
3) Download a file manager, that can make use of the root rights.
4) Go to /system/build.prop
5) Add the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the very end of the file.
6) Reboot and voila!
However, I found that some apps refused to work with the nav bar and some vital content of those apps got hidden by the buttons.
I managed to found a fix for this problem. It can be solved with a wonderful Xposed module titled "Hideable Nav Bar".
The plugin will create a little down arrow on the left of the nav bar. This will let you to hide the bar whenever you want/need to. When the bar is hidden, then bringing it back is as easy as swiping up a bit from the bottom of the screen.
(I won't give you the steps on how to install Xposed, because it has already been described in the general thread.)
Anyway if you have installed Xposed, then you want to go to "Download" and search for this module. After that you should install the module, activate it and then reboot your phone. :good:
I hope this post was helpful to some K3 Note users and if it did help you, then don't forget to press the "Thanks" button too!
DebloatedX ROM for Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime! (MOD/SCRIPT)By: ShaDisNX255!
Based on Xtreme ROMXtreme ROM by: @Misma13
Warnings!:
* Flashing this zip will factory reset your phone!
* PLEASE CHECK THE LIST OF APPS REMOVED DOWN BELOW!!!!!
* I am removing apps that I don't need! Key word being "I". So by flashing this you are accepting my conditions. In other words, I get to choose what apps are being deleted. If you have a request of an app you don't want removed, you can easily search for the apk file on the internet or on Google Playstore. If you have a request of an app you want removed but is not included in my zip, and enough people request it, I can update my file (or you can update it yourself, if you want) to delete extra apps or exclude them from being deleted.
* Since there are a lot of apps that I am removing, there's a big possibility that I may break something like a feature YOU may be interested in. Be warned that you may experience sudden FC or a feature you want not to work. Please report if anything that YOU use is not working so I can add it to the not working list. So far, of what I've used I have not encountered any FC or any bugs, but there is always a possibility that it can happen
* I can't stress this out enough, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, YOU ARE FLASHING THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!
* Both these Scripts/Mods eliminate quite a few system apps. If you are planning on returning to stock, change ROMs or switch between V1 and V2 of my Script, it is NECESSARY to re-flash stock via Odin and then try the new ROM/Script
Apps that are being deleted:

As the developers here would say it:
Code:
Your warranty is now void. *
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about flashing this zip file
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. HARD!

STEP-BY-STEP:
(Make sure you have OEM Unlocked before trying this procedure out. To do this, you need to activate developer options by tapping on "Build number" 7 times located under Settings>About Device>Software Info. Then, go to Settings>Developer Options and make sure OEM Unlock is enabled)
0. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, read the warnings!
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash the "DebloatedX_J2Prime" file
3. Root via the method you want (flash SuperSU zip) or you can use Magisk

@ashyx for porting TWRP to our crappy device xd

@spacejam for creating the app "FrontFlash Notification" (Original thread here)

Report No. 1
first of all... thank you for a great job. your rom-mod-script turn the device from a piece of sh*t to a usable smartphone these days...
camera, bluetooth, wifi, mtp, all work like a charm but i find some strange things with the software so far:
- i had a loop with the "samsung weather location" in the config menu (in the first boot, when we introduce our google account) it don't let me agree whit the terms. i had to disagree to enter to home screen.
- when i change the value on "app screen grid" (4x4 5x5 6x6) it does change it but don't show the icons... i need to reboot device to see the changes.
- i can't delete the second home screen. it don't show the garbage icon when i long-hold the side screen.
- "home screen settings > home screen layout > home screen only" crash.. force to close.
i know this are software bugs. but i'm just reporting it.
again... thanks for you work and for keeping this device alive.

Use the files of the XTreme rom truth, but it does not matter
I have a question, is it installed on the stock of the j2 prime or does a complete cleaning including system?

The script factory resets your phone, deteles bloatware, and then installs S8 icons and launcher. It is still stock settings, it just replaces a few things.

Yes, it seems that location is set to "Device only". Weather location tries to change it to change it to "high accuracy" but it crashes the app. You need to change to "High accuracy" manually and then try to set up weather via the widget.

This is a known "bug" among ports of the S8 home app drawer ports. To avoid rebooting the device to see the effects, just keep swiping right and it should update itself

Yeah, it's an inherited problem thanks to the S8 drawer I put on this device :/
I found that the S8 icons break Samsung e-mail. On my V2 version I will remove S8 icons because Samsung e-mail is important to me
Until I get them to work together, I will not add them back
thanks for your work OP

I don't wanna be rude or misunderstood but i edit your script and delete all the s8 part... i prefer the 100% the debloated rom + nova launcher (it looks more like stock android).
thanks for all your help and hope you can develop some custom rom in the near future.
i see you already had the knowledge and still waiting for the version 2 of this thead.
Cheers.

Hello OP.
i have a question so maybe you can help me.
I edit your script and added some lines to delete in system and priv-app (samsung contacts, email, fbinstaller, etc.) but i end up somehow erasing the dialer app (my guess is that is connected to samsungcontacts app). Trying to find de apk of the dialer i found this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-google-pixel-contact-dialer-t3479715 ) and it works great to me... so my questions is:
If i want to add to your script the google dialer&contact apk, i just need to copy the respective files in the "priv-app" folder? substituting the "samsungInCallUI" folder?
thanks in advance for your comments.
-edit-
Also, i saw you have 2 files in the META-INF folder: 1.-updater-script and 2.-WORKING... wich one is the one? or it need the two file to debloat device?
thanks for your comments.

I'm almost sure you don't have to replace "SamsungInCallUI" as I think that's specific with the Samsung dialer, or so I would think.
I would go ahead and delete that folder
Yes, all you would need to do is copy the GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer folders in the priv-app folder
And as for the updater-script, you can ignore the one that says "WORKING"
When I was testing the script, I couldn't get the format /data function to work properly and it kept making some apps crash
The "WORKING" script was the first version of the script I got to work on this device. After that, I kept editing the script until I got it to work
So, "updater-script" formats /data correctly and "WORKING" just factory resets without formatting /data

:in Matthew McConaughey voice: alright alright alright:
thanks for the comments... i will try and delete "working" file.
by the way, do you think i'll f*ck up the device if i add the line "system/priv-app/SmartManager_v4" (device maintenance) to your debloat script?
sorry for all the questions.. its just that i like purging bloatware.
again...thanks for your comments.

Well, I really can't tell for sure. I mean all that it really does is eliminate temporary files and close background apps. You can certainly try, but again, I always recommend a backup first
Greetings,
Been using nemesisrom for a while now as a daily driver for my work phone. i use spen every day and love the features packed in this rom.
one thing i cant figure out is how to make the quicksettings tiles . LONG PRESS take you to respective section. "eg, hold WIFI" should take me to CONNECTIONS section / wifi" but it just brings up TILE editor.
another thing is i have now got primekernel 6.4.1 running (finally a working kernel on U variant with FIOPS shed. . ) this with a few tweaks to the interactive kernel. this thing is smooth as butter. (not sure about using zswaps yet)
anyway. one thing is i cant get xposed module to install. when i do i get SAMSUNG animation boot loop. tried a few diff .23 versions. am i missing something here. never was this big of a problem.
everytime i dont get it right i have to restore backup and its a 12g backup lol dont mind but its a PITA ..
any help appreciated.
*EDIT thinking of going back to DREAMUX but will check once i have exhausted possibilities with xposed/quicksetting tiles issue.

Tap on the text below the toggle. Forexample if u want to go to wifi settings just tap on the text blow the toggle i.e wifi text and tap on more networks. As for xposed use the custom wanam xposed framework thats meant to be used with touchwiz.
