Hi guys, all i want is that i wanna single tap to menu button and get recent apps and most importantly i wanna get the menu when i longpress the menu button. How can i do that? I mean normally
Hardware menu button's functions on galaxy s4 is
SINGLE PRESS ---> MENU
LONG PRESS ----> GOOGLE SEARCH
i wanna change it to
SINGLE PRESS ----> RECENT APPS
LONG PRESS -----> MENU
i've checked the possible solutions on forum even downloaded "all in one gestures" app though it did just change single press to recent apps but couldn't change long press to menu because there is no such option called "menu" on the list to assign to long press, i can send screenshots if need to and the app is up to date is downloaded from play store
So i need your help, thanks by now
Button Mapper may work.

There is, you didn't see it or you have a different app.
The menu action requires root.

I can't find a "Menu" option.
I use "Buttons remapper". It's definitely able to assign menu to long press.

Hello,
I have 6.5.5 custom ROM on my device and trying to figure out how to navigate to home screen? I used Diamond before with dedicated home button but on this phone it does not have dedicated home button, so how do I do that?
Thanks,
G

just press the end call button. or you can go to start>settings>personal>buttons then set it to where one of the hardware buttons takes you to home.
Long Press End Key has 2 different tabs under Settings/Button. One on the settings application itself and another one under "program buttons". The one on the settings application itself overrides whatever I put into "Programs Buttons" for long hold of end key. Any ideas?

there is prolly an app for remapping the buttons,just do a quick search
The third hardware button (left arrow) gets you home, but doesn't close running programs.
Keys remmaper:

Hunting around for solution but surprisingly all seems to be happy with button layouts. Currently my buttons are:
1) Long press SEARCH - dialer One
2) Long press HOME - visual task swither
3) Long press MENU - brings keyboard (default)
4) Long press BACK - ???
Can we assign something on long press BACK? Sleep????
Is there solution for long press MENU to assign something other than coming out with keyboard? I'm thinking about Peoples/contacts.
As for trackball, currently I'm using to wake up with a press. I don't know why but I'm really struggling almost everytime to reach and press power button on top. One more I would much prefer and very happy is to ANSWER calls with a press of trackball while at lockscreen. Perfect!
Many thanks if can point to some directions.
I'm pretty sure similar to the Home Long Press, Back and Menu Long Press are impossible to change system-wide without hacking Android itself (like Home Long Press had to be).
How to clear long press search and assign another app?

Download an app that can use Search Long Press and the next time you press it, Android will ask which app you want to use.

TBH, it is kind of flaky. What I ended up doing was using an app to link a long press of the HOME key to SCREENSHOT.
Works much better that way
Swipe up from the home button and use quick memo on the right. It takes a screenshot and then you just press save.

I use the exposed module "Advanced power menu" so when I hold down power, I can reboot, reboot in recovery, power off, or take screenshot....

Nice! Didn't know about the swipe up from home and forgot about the Advanced Power Menu. I was using that at one point and in the process of putting on new roms all the time I forgot to re-engage it.
Thanks for the protips!
Anyone know how to remap the "Home Swipe Left"?
I would like to see voice search there.
Hello everyone!
Saw the S5 announcement few days ago and noticed the changes made to the button layout. I'd like to know if there's a way to remap the menu button to work as a recent apps button. And better yet if it's possible to assign the "menu" function to a long press. I've searched Google but all the alternatives I see are for HTC phones or for onscreen buttons.
Thanks in advance!

Look for an app called 'Xposed Additions'. It will do both the things you want.
Installed it. Tried to configure the remapping but it's not doing anything. I hit the "remap" and a window pops up that says key code and it appears that it's waiting for some input, I hit a button but nothing happens.

Forget it, just nailed it. Reinstalled, rebooted and all is working as I want to. Thank you!

Xposed Addition doesnt support KK.
Is there another way for this other than Gravity Box for TW Kitkat?

How about MenuBeGone, I'm running this on my 4.4.2 SM-N9005
And it got option to select apps that you don't want to have overflow button on them (like on Action Memo that 3-dot menu replaces delete -button, so you can't delete any memos.. but where do you need menu at all on Action Memo, so just uncheck it on MBC and you're good)
Edit: And it also can remap long press on menu button to show menu (while menu button is remapped to open recent apps)

Which build are you on? (also towelrooted?)
So you remapped menu button=recent and long press=menu. (like on the S5?)
I dont get what you mean with the Action memo though. But from the Description of the App I can tell that youre talking about the Whitelisting?
Thanks.

Yes, some apps get "broken" look when 3-dot menu is enabled on them (like contacts) and yes, long press on "settings" button opens menu, while short opens recent tasks.
About Action Memo see screenshot: menu button "hides" detelete if not whitelisted from MBC
Edit: to make it clear, that module enables "3-dot menu button" on all applications by default. From module settings you can disable that button on selected apps. That module also sets devices settings button to open recent tasks and long press to open settings (so by long pressing you can reach menu also on apps you have disabled to use 3-dot menu)

I got it, thanks. Tried out and its working fine. In Nova launcher the Menu button blinks a lot though - on long press.
There is a certain delay. But I think i will try xposed additions some time later but for now its fine i guess
Thank you!
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.
