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.

hmm, how 's the way i should ask.....forgive my language not so well......
my problem is: when i full screen for gaming, the cm7's status bar will hide down, and when i want to exit the game but the game dont have exit button. i dont know how to get back the status bar (back) from hidden.......
and every times exit the game i have to press on/off button and release the ram memory by 360* (*a widget from china made anti virus) then the game will erase and exit.
Install a app such a zmooth. It puts a little touchpad at the bottom of your screen, where you can use 3 gestures for home, menu and back. Works in all windows, such as fullscreen games or apps.

thx to you~!!! dude, it's working~
Menu> settings> cyanogenmod settings> tablet tweaks> disable fullscreen
Choose the other softbuttons you want here too, like a home button on the notification bar!
Otherwise, choose power buttons menu and add a back button... Home button is on the power screen by default.

Be aware that disabling fullscreen may cause UI issues on some games and apps where the controls and text get mashed together. Real Racing 2 on mine had the controls and menu selections all mashed up on top of each other until I re-enabled fullscreen.
Another way is to add back button to power button settings

I really like this here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smart.swkey for a few reasons. I can have it almost completely hidden (I watch a lot of videos and want the least amount of distraction) and you can also long press on them (which also works with cm's mods) so if you have the option set to kill foreground app via long pressing back button, it will work with button savoir, another example would be... I have holding menu button hides/shows the status bar via cm settings, that works with button savoir (actually that does not even work with cm's built in soft keys) I'm thinking about buying the license key so i can remove/customize the buttons but I haven't yet. I'm kinda holding out for cm 9/ICS. My experience with the unstable builds are that navigation is very well done and I might not feel the need for any third party navigation method.

That would be my choice as well yes, I've had it running on my KF since day one. Havn't bought a license key more for the fact that the only time I need it is when I need a back or menu button from within a fullscreen app
Brand new N10 and just unlocked and rooted running the stock ROM for now.
Is there any way to remap the recent button to the menu button instead?
Well, ParanoidAndroid mapped a long press of the recents button to menu.
Run a custom ROM and configure the buttons however you want. You can set what they do for each button, add or remove buttons (up to 7 max), set what each button does when long-pressed, and even change the icon of any of the buttons. This is called the "AOKP style navbar" in most ROMs. Obviously that means you will get these features by running AOKP, but many other ROMs also use this same feature and way it is configured.
You should looking into Mr.Robinson's AOKP PUB ROM, it seems to be most people's favorite
I usually switch around my back and recents button, it just seems easier to work with how I hold my tablet and phone this way. I also like to make long pressing the back button automatically switch to the last used app I was on. Long pressing the recents button (for me) kills all open apps.

Thanks for the details. Tried CleanROM first, but need more options. Will check out AOKP PUB next.
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.
Since the early days of android, I used long press back to kill my application. One of the best customization features. But now samsung also has a good feature for the long press back option, multiwindow.
I want to use both, but my finger muscles are hardcorded to pressing this button for killing applications Is it possible to change the key for multiwindow for example long pressing the menu button? Perhaps trough a xposed module maybe?
What does "Menu button" option do if check or uncheck the box?
Settled in Settings-->Phone-->Display, gestures & buttons-->Buttons-->"Menu button (check box)"
TNX
When checked it adds an on screen floating menu button in legacy apps that don't already provide an on screen menu button.
It is essentially an option for backwards compatibility with apps designed for the era of Android devices they had physical menu buttons.
Tnx a lot!
Just one more question:
- How to lock one (or many) apps in Recent Apps? When i click Clear All that app not to clear and stay always active?
I need that but i dont know a sollution
