Reverse "back" and "recent" buttons on S4 mini? - Galaxy S 4 Mini General

Hi,
Is there any way to reverse the Back and Recent hardware buttons on the S4 mini (i9195)?
I'm currently using Lineage 17.1, so I know it's possible to enable on-screen navigation (with the back button on the left and the recent on the right) but I don't want to use on-screen buttons.
I've seen there are some apps that claim they can reverse these buttons, but it seems like overkill to install an always-on app (possibly containing ads and/or spyware) just to have these buttons reversed.
Is there no simple hack that can do this? (preferably without needing root)
Thanks for any help.

Although not an immediate solution, it may be of interest to know that your wish is possible on my S4mini Value Edition (i9195i) using an amazingly wonderful ROM call'd ColtOS. (I also have a regular original S4mini (i9195) using Lineage 17.1, but would prefer to use ColtOS if only somebody would build it.)

Interesting to know that very option is included in ColtOS! Shame the ROM is not available for the i9195, although I think I'd prefer to stick with Lineage for now anyway, just wish there was a simple solution to this buttons issue...

You can use button remaper, i used it with the stock rom and its work great!

Thanks! I'll take a look at it now.

Dictionary Suggestions With Built In Keyboard

I've been using CyanogenMod for a while on my M2. BTW, works like a charm and installation was painless - thanks a lot for all the tips and your hard work.
One thing I am missing quite a lot from the stock ROM (probably the only thing, really) is having dictionary suggestions displayed at the bottom of the screen when using the physical keyboard (as when using any onscreen keyboard). I have searched the settings menus and simply can't find it anywhere. I have even installed MIUI for a while to see if it was there but no luck either.
Am I missing something or is this feature only available on stock ROM? If so, do you think it would be possible to have it ported to CM7 or any other non-stock ROM in that matter? That would be quite useful especially considering that the M2 keyboard is a little bit on a rubbish side - improved a lot with the Debounce fix though.
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
Smart Keyboard Pro is quiet good!

But this is on-screen keyboard, isn't it?
yes, but got also auto-correct for HW keyboard with many languages
Oh, didn't know that. I'll have a look. Cheers.
This is quite odd though. Doesn't it mean that installing a stock keyboard patch would bring this feature back? I installed it and the stock on-screen keyboard was fine but I am fairly certain it didn't work. Unless there were some settings I missed.
Works fine actually. Thanks a lot for the tip wadimka.
Wonder if there is a free app with the same functionality.
I ended up using GO Keyboard. I like the interface more, the dictionary seems to be a bit better for some reason (not sure if that's even possible ) and on top of that it's free.
I am fairly certain I have tried it before as I use other GO apps including GO Launcher and the dictionary wasn't working with the built-in keyboard. Looks like I must have messed up some settings.

[Q] Do you like Paranoid Android on the Oppo Find 5?

The Oppo Find 5 is now officially supported by the PA-team, so our Oppo Find 5 will be succesfull! Now our Oppo Find 5 will get hopefully more support from other devs.
So my question is: Do you like Paranoid Android for the Oppo Find 5?
Leave a comment below!
It's pretty damn good IMO. Granted, it's in the beginning stages but I'm actually going to use it for my daily and see how it goes. I know Aaron said the camera doesn't work currently but not a deal breaker for me as I don't take a lot of pics. It's taking a little getting used to being that the OPPO has the buttons at the bottom so even if you have PIE enabled, the bottom buttons still function. The new Halo feature seems to be working pretty well so that's a plus.
All in all though, I'm pretty stoked to say the least.
Yes please
Haven't tried it out yet, I'll hop on it when they fix the camera and Halo is released as Beta.
Currently using the latest Firefly build, which is actually quite nice if you ask me...
Yea I'm going to make a thread when I get home today, I can add the option to disable the soft keys. The hybrid properties in there are something I did quickly. I can set up better defaults. I know where the camera is broken but don't have time to fix it till late next week

First off, thanks! I was just wondering if there will be a way to disable the hard keys? I know in the stock Oppo rom you can at least disable the backlighting of the keys? I came from a Nexus 4 and would love to be able to "disable" the hardware keys and just use pie.

Nice dude. Will give it a run once camera runs to test out the smoothness and battery life compared to nightly cm10.1

My F5 is in transit and all the options for this phone make me coocoo for cocoa puffs. I cant wait!
Paranoid Android is def my favorite rom Paranoid Android is going to be sick on the OF5 and yes you can just use the keys and keep the entire screen, like HTC Roms. CM10.1 or whatever new build they have out is always great also. The more roms the better, Oppo needs to get this phone out in all countries that would bring in more devs and even if they lowered the price, the price is already low for an a device that has everything already unlocked out of the box. And a company that inspires this type of freedom with your device. Oppo is almost like do what you want its yours you paid for it, attitude! Thats what I like.
I like it but..
I will get difficulty choosing between CM-bare, PA and AOKP. Thhere's also the PAC-rom that is announced today.
I think I will stick with the CM untill PA has the camera fixed.
Definitly trying this!!
Loving PA on my Find 5, my only request is they implement this ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcq_p6Gjwl8
BTW for those that want to manually disable the capacitive keys and led lights here is what you need to do.
To turn of capacitive button lights:
Go to system/lib/hw
There find lights.find5.so
Rename it to "lights" or anything.
Reboot.
To restore just rename it to lights.pico.so again and reboot.
To turn off capacitive buttons:
Go to system/usr/key layout/synaptics-rmi-ts.kl
Long press it and click open with text editor
Delete everything there
Reboot.
To restore , restore the backup of the file which is automatically created

LOVE it, but there is no camera and some force close bugs.

Does it change screen colours like PA does on the Nexus 4?
I've been running ReVolt, which has PA and some other stuff. It's been a very nice ROM thus far with no major issues.
Camera works for pictures (haven't confirmed image quality yet). Video works but the quality is bad. Gonna hop over and post on that and see if Johny can lend a hand there.

I'd also like to know that..My Find has a yellowish white and a little washed out colours compared to my halfbreed Nexus 4..
perfect for me
This is my favourite ROM from all that I have tried and probably because I find the flexibility of changing app dpi the most SIMPLE UI is a winner
It is perfect when combined with xposed framework and just grabbing modules to enhance the experience
fantastic rom and kudos for all those working on modules to make life simple when it comes to customising

[Q] MODs to Stock ROM

Does anybody know how to include the following mods to the Stock ROM (JWR66V)?
- Cyanogenmod LED Control
- Volume Rocker Skip Track
I know there are apps that can control the first one. However, I think that Cyanogenmod's way is more elegant and I like it to be "baked in". Any thoughts on this? I also know that flashing Cyanogenmod would be the obvious solution, but I'm currently liking being stock very much.
Thanks in advance.

1 : Most probably not, I'll be a little bold now and say NO. You can't have it "baked in"
2 : Yes. I think some music apps allow you to use this.

Control media with volume keys on Nougat?

Hey everyone,
I have finally switched over to Nougat from MM and managed to get most of the functionality (Xposed alternatives) in some shape or form on Nougat.
I am however missing a decent way of controlling media tracks using long volume buttons (Xposed allowed doing it easily).
I tried Pocket Skip Track app and it is a little buggy and does not work everytime. I also tried making a Tasker profile following some of the guides, but am unable to trigger it always (whenever the headphones are plugged in)
Does anybody have a solution for this or perhaps there is a ROM that has this feature?
Apart from that I am quite happy with the upgrade.
I'd like a solution to that problem as well.
So far only superman rom have this wonderful feature i try all apps on playstore but they are all buggy...thanks Luca to make this
migrated to Superman ROM for this feature now. For some reason it was not working straight away but eventually started working and now all is good.
This works for me

Soft navigation buttons "One button Nav" in custom ROMs

I like the Moto G5p feature "One button Nav". Is this still available on custom roms ? .
Clarification of what I am referring to - it replaces the Back:Home:Menu (triangle:circle:square)soft buttons with swipe gestures on the finger print sensor.
I would like to know that too. As far as I know, it's not available in any other custom roms.
It is available on every (or almost every) custom rom.

Can confirm in nearly every ROM. Usually in the settings application under either gestures or buttons.

I have my Moto G5+ for around 3 days, today I'm getting stable with Ressurection Remix, Magisk working well, Android Pay also, and your features are there too. I just can't figure how to make 1080p 60fps recording, but everything else is flying. cheers
