I am so used to my S3 I would love an option to switch the home button and menu button so that home is my apps list and menu is the google now / s voice
Dont see why they changed something everyone was used to since S2 and I cant see them changing it back either

My hardware buttons are back to the old S4 way. Used xposed and gravity box love it!

I think, you just need to download a third party app to get what you want.

I havent found a single third party app that would do it yet.
Stallion, do u have any links showing how to do it? Will it require root? Im looking for a non-root method for the time being

You need root to use xposed. Not sure of any non root methods, pretty sure you can't without root.

To open "Recent apps" you have to press and hold the Home button.
The alternative way is install the 'Android Missing Shortcuts' app and select 'Recent Apps' in the main screen.

Disabling Swipe to Call/Swipe to Message in Stock Messages App on Galaxy S5

Im trying to disable the swipe left to right to call, and swipe right to left to message feature thats in the stock Messages app on the Verizon Galaxy s5. I find myself accidentally calling people Im texting, and trying to explain why I called. I like swipe functions, but this particular one can be quite annoying, especially since the option to turn it off isnt exactly the most obvious to me.
Ive tried going into settings in the stock messages app, and theres nothing there about swipe commands. I even went into the settings and tried the motions and gestures option, nothing. Language and input, nothing. I even tried to edit the settings in the phone app, and you can only disable swipe to call when youre in the phone app, but nowhere else, which seems a little counter intuitive to be able to turn it off in the phone app, and not in the messages app.
Is there something Im missing? It really isnt making much sense to me that it cant be turned off. The Messages app Im talking about is the one that looks like a white envelope, with a yellow sheet of lined paper coming out of the top, not the Message+ that comes with the Verizon bloatware.
If anyone can help Id really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Cannot just disable the message portion you have to disable the complete swipe action. To do this, open dialer then select menu ->settings -> Contacts -> uncheck "Swipe to call or send message."

I know this is older but I am trying to disable the same feature. Un-checking that box only effects contacts, not the action from within messenger. Is there a way to disable it in messenger also or is the only option to not use the Samsung one?
I do hate when crappy "features" are not optional.

I ended up ditching the stock app and going with a paid version of chompsms. Works great and doesn't have this feature. To delete or call a contact from the conversation screen its actually a long hold action, which is a bit safer from accidental deletions.

Worked for me. Was so annoying, thanks for the help!

Same problem on the Galaxy S6 :-/
totally agree with you re unwanted "features", did you by chance find a work-around?

Hey guys! Still nothing? Are we stuck with this "ingenuity" for good?

Man, I hope just one of the morons who designed this feature read this thread one day. I hate this feature.

open camera, go to camera settings, enable quick launch

What I mean is that, it actually disappeared on the settings. I don't know what's wrong. I recently review all the things I've done but still nothing. Also I tried reflashing my Stock ROM, still nothing works..

How to disable notch (front camera) acting as power button?

I don't know at which time this got activated, maybe its a "feature" of the CarHD mod I am using, but its so annoying and I cant find how to disable it. I googled it, searched it here and in the phone menu, but no luck. Taping the front camera notch locks the phone, and holding it brings up the power menu. Its so useless and annoying, because I press it by mistake and lock my phone. The actual power button is much more easy to press. Anyone has the same issue? Have you found how to disable it?
Thanks in advance.

There would be an option in the carhd rom control app, perhaps in the status at section

Remove the edge panel?

I can't find any option to remove or disable the edge panel. Is there a way to do that?

Try going into Settings> do a search for "edge".
Turn off.

There is no such setting anywhere in the settings.

Open edge panel, punch gear icon, turn off

I would do that if that'd be an option. No gear icon.
I have Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 (Android 4.4.4)

Try finding it in apps.
Sure it's Samsung Edge? Not another app or malware?

I really tried everything! That's why I asked here. I'd appreciate if someone who turned it off on this exact tablet would tell me exactly how it was done.

Without the gear icon you can't adjust the settings. With the panel open it appears in the lower right hand corner at least on Notes.
I like Kitkat but it's primitive compared to Pie.
Possible malware... play with it.

No option to disable it. Not malware, just a "feature".
Maybe there's an app or something that gets rid of it? I have my tablet rooted.

OMG, I just figured it out. It's called "Multi window". Disabling that gets rid of it. Multi window
Problem solved!

Yeah I can see why it was hard to find
However Edge Clipboard is very useful as it allows you to store a dozen or so cut/paste's.
I use this constantly. The hidden tab is fully adjustable on the Note's so it doesn't get in the way.
