I have an old app that I really like but it doesn't have the hamburger (three lines) menu button. The Axon 7 doesn't have a menu button. I've tried long pressing the recent apps and the back buttons but it doesn't work. Is there any way to emulate the old android menu button on the Axon 7?
thanks,
just use mi-pop buttons for this

NICE! Excellent work around. Is there an easier way of turning mi-pop on/off other than going into the phone settings?
Thanks

There is a MI-POP Toggle in the notification pull down.
imo the context menu should be the default action instead of recent apps, while recent apps should be a long-press action on the context menu button :/

in the notifications when you swipe down from the top? I only see "wifi, data 1, data 2, silent, gps" there is a settings button that i can tap, then tap "all settings" and get into the phone settings. were you able to add mi-pop to those notifications?

Swipe down again after you see the notification shade. First swipe down only shows the first row of quick setting toggles. Second swipe brings the rest (and where you can edit the order)

Except that would be against Android standards. And any app that's been updated in the past 3-4 years to modern standards wouldn't have the problem. Some OEMs use a long press on the recent apps to do the old menu, but with Nougat, that's used for multiwindow now. I'm just glad there is still a way to access it, as I need an app that is old enough to need it.

Hey,
I would like to know how the menu button works on this phone when there ..is no (only back, home and "apps" button)?

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.

Basically, I have managed to hide the navigation bar. I also have LMT up and running, but something still makes it a non viable option for me. Basically, a lot of apps (Dolphin Browser, Amazon App Store, etc) have a Settings button (three periods) appear on the navigation bar when in use. Is there a way to recreate this feature with LMT pie controls? Thanks in advance.

Just add a pie button for menu. I personally add it as the secondary action for my recent button. Just don't release your press after the lmt pie opens and the secondary options should pop up. You can also change the value of how long you have to hold it for in the lmt settings.

By god that was it! Thank you so much! Can't believe I missed that
Maybe there is no this func, but I saw on the demo in youtube that there should be a possibility to customize hardware buttons behavior. Also should be possible to enable swipe on Home button.
If you type in search box in General Settings keyword "camera" it will show you that there should be some settings in Buttons, to set behavior. But if you press on context link - it shows button menu but very limited.
Do you have one?
Thanks

If I'm not wrong swipe on Home is available on ZUI home, not Cyanogen OS.
On Buttons menu you can set home long press action, home doube tap action (doesn't work on latest update).
I personally use "All In One Gestures" app to configure buttons

Thanks a lot. I will try!
The reason is I would like to set a camera on double tap action and cannot find how to do it by default.

In Settings -> About Phone turn on Advanced mode. Then you can configure buttons. I have it set up just as you'd like it, double tap for camera, works perfectly for me with latest update.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for apps that can limit the number of notification sounds that your phone can create within a certain time-frame? There was a great Xposed module [less frequent notifications] that could do this on a rooted device and I find myself missing that feature a lot on my un-rootable S7 .
Also looking for an app that will let me customize what the home, back, and recent buttons can do.

Thanks for the suggestion. It has quite a few options, but it looks like it is missing the ability to customize a 'double tap' press on any of the buttons. I wasn't able to find a 'last app' action either. My ideal set-up would be:
Home
single press - home
double press - camera
long press - google Now on tap
Recents
single press - recents
double press - do nothing
long press - google search
Back
single press - back
double press - last app
long press - kill app
edit: realize I can do without the double press and could move the 'last app' action, if available, to the recent apps long press.

Ever since the Oreo update, my home screen apps don't open automatically with the button press. My apps are at the top row, and I'm using the official remote. if I click the button on any app it brings up a menu showing "OPEN" "MOVE" and "REMOVE FROM FAVORITES" actions. What happened to just clicking on the app and it opens? Is this an Oreo change, or an option I can turn off? Super annoying!

This is the long press action on mine. I suspect something is goofy with yours.

Great call, that made me think. I had Mouse Toggle installed for the old FIOS app which I no longer use. I uninstalled Mouse Toggle and it's back to the way it should be; single press opens the app. Thanks!
