Is there a way to remap the camera button?
I'm using Launcher Pro and have the notification bar hidden. Does any know if it is possible to remap the camera button on the side to show notifications?
That would be useful. I also hope there's a way to remap the volume buttons as music controls.

How about this: long click on your app drawer icon and when options show up, click "swipe gesture" , then one of the options should be "display notification" or some thing of that sort. Then whenever u need to display notification, just swipe the app launcher icon upwards and voila

I use the TASKER app to set my camera button to function differently. In my case, I use it to open a menu of different camera apps when I depress the button.
I don't know if this is possible but I'm hopeful.
Could someone modify the stock music app to allow the camera button to play/pause the music *when the screen is off*? I know the volume rocker can adjust the music volume when the screen is off, but this camera mod would be sweet.
Any capable hackers out there? Out any advice?

Tasker can do that, as well. Expensive app, but well worth the capabilities.
Is there a way I can setup a gesture for spen to long press home button. To bring up recent apps/ task mgr?

Looked around and didn't see this being brought up. Is there away to out the multitasking app instead of the menu button and bring back the 3 dot menu button back in apps? Hate freaking menu buttons and having to long press the home.
I remember figuring out a way to add software nav buttons on an S4 manually by editing some lines in the system but since the soft nav bar is already present I don't think that would work. Any ideas? Thanks.

Root, and there's a few nav bar replacements in the play store that autohide as well.

I'm with you, I think its stupid to have a dedicated menu button when android already has this covered.
The apps the poster above is speaking of does not fix this issue as it also hides the buttons, which is just dumb. Just be patient, I'm sure we will have a fix soon!

This may be my only gripe about this phone, I have tried several of the options, but you have to hide it or tour home screen icons in the dock get lost.

While using the Note 2 I was able to go to the (root) system file and mess with the nav bar. Im going to play with this in a few. I'll report back.

With the S4 I was able to manually add the On screen nav buttons with a line of code. Default android soft buttons are back home and multitask LG edited that to the menu button which is annoying. Let me know what you find. I'm going to try some stuff my self

While I would like to have a dedicated multitasking button, I don't think the menu button is a waste or stupid. There are still numerous apps that don't adhere to Google's new rules for a software menu button and they result in a black bar on the screen. LG dodged this by adding a dedicated software menu button. If you want to see how annoying it is, just pick up an HTC One (or DNA, or One X) and it will make more sense. What they did is emulate the Optimus G Pro (and Samsung's Touchwiz) with software buttons to give the same feel (hold home for multitasking, back and menu). I see why they did it. But yeah, it would be nice if they'd add an option for a multitasking button as either a fourth option or in place of the menu. It would certainly make more sense than the notification shade toggle.

The main reason I did not get the One was because of the stupid buttons. First not on screen and second only 2 buttons.
I do think it will only be a matter of time until someone makes a zip to add the recent button back. Wish I knew how

So my solution to this after 2 days of fiddling with the phone and trying EVERYTHING actually turned out for the better. The setup I have is using GMD gesture control for my buttons and auto hide navbar to have the navbar gone. This app let's you slide certain regions of the screen and trigger different conditions. I have no buttons at all on my screen and have slide functions that work perfect exactly where the Normal buttons would go. Slide up on the left is menu, slide in middle is home, and slide in right is recent apps. My back button is set by my thumb and it works out much better than I could have hoped.

Apps that have their own 3-dot menu
Thanks for the research on this topic. Does anyone know if the GMD app allows an app to retain its 3-dot menu functionality? I've encountered several apps that won't work with the G2's menu softkey preventing you from accessing the app's options.
thanks in advance!
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
