So I started to use my new Note 9 this week, coming from a rooted Note 4. And after spending some time, I found some useful apps to accomplish some customization stuff without root. But I still miss two stuff that I had on AOSP.
1. is it possible to add a battery icon next to the Bluetooth icon in status bar? The fastest way to see Bluetooth battery right now is by pulling down status bar and then press on the Bluetooth device in Smart Things.
2. Is it possible to add long-press and double-press on the navigation buttons? I know that you can customize physical buttons, like Bixby-button, but I really miss one function I had on my Note 4, where I long-pressed the back button and it will jump to last app.
I also had long-press and double-press on home button to start camera and torchlight, but it's not that important because I have for instance double tap on power button to start the camera. I know that I can add last app on Bixby-button with bxaction, but it would be a plus to have it with long-press on back button.
Other than those two things, this phone is the best!

I find that I really don't use the volume buttons much because I don't listen to much music. I'd love to re-map one of them to provide an alt-tab type of application-switching function. Does anyone know if this is possible? Yes, I know about long-pressing the home button to bring up the last 6 programs for quick switching, but I'd really like a hardware button so I don't have the delay of the long-press and extra tap for selecting. I want quick back and fourth between programs...
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.
1. Can I still slide along the notification bar to change brightness? I recall loving this in my old Captivate. CyanogenMod adopted this feature later on.
2. Can I customize what the soft buttons do? CM10 on Galaxy S3 was completely customizable (i.e. button press vs double tap vs long press).
Can Touchwiz customize any of this in stock?
My ideal button behavior is:
long press menu= recent apps
long press home button= voice search
double tap home button= disabled (i.e. just takes you home like a single press, no lag)

1. Not on current TouchWiz. U would need custom mods for that.
2. Not on current TouchWiz. U might want to try out Nova Launcher. It lets you customize actions for those buttons. As far as the lag in home button, you can disable this in S Voice in settings. Once you do that there is no lag when you press Home button.

Hi
I bought galaxy s4 last month but I am not happy with functionality of the home and sensor buttons. In my opinion switch application (the list of all previously opened apps) is very important button and I am not happy to wait whole second holding down home button to get simple alt+tab feature. At all this big hardware button does not fit in the whole picture and its the biggest mistake of this phone. Now I cannot remove it but at least I want to use it as much as little I can. So I want to switch menu button and "hold home" buttons. Its far more sensible to make separate sensor button for switching app than use it for menu functionality. I didn't root my phone and I don't want to root it but if its needed to get rid of this stupidness I will make it. So is there any way to switch menu button and "hold home" button?
thx
I want each of home, back, and recent apps buttons to have different actions with single tap, double tap, and hold.
I upgraded from my one plus which was running custom lineage os. I could switch apps by double tapping my home button and it was beautiful. I could also 'kill apps' by holding the back button. So good.
Any way to do this?
Thanks
