Hi
I've just downloaded Gameboid for the hero, and it's great! However, when using certain ROMS the trackball just doesn't cut it for movement, and hence, I wanted to change it, so that the Menu, End, Search and Back keys handle Up, Right, Down and Left respectively. However, whenever I press End, the phone locks, and whenever I press menu, the menu comes up.
Is there an app or registry edit that can stop this from happening just in this app?
Thanks

Well, whenever I get a text or some sort of notification that can be handled by sense, and i drag it into the circle (On the lockscreen). It opens that app, but right after that, when i press the home button to go to my home screen, it resets my home preference, and asks me to choose again.
Every time.
Is there any way to get around this?
Reboot or pull out battery. If that doesn't help,flash it again.
Sorry if this has been asked, search functions seems to be down at the moment, but I just got my Sprint S3 on Tuesday and noticed that when you press the home button while on the home screen it shows the screen previews, normal.
Now ever since yesterday when I press the home key it just goes to the home screen but does not do the screen preview. Is there something that I turned off by accident or is my phone acting up, its not really a big deal to me but I just want to make sure my phone is not defective. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks in advance.
There's three functions for the home button so far as I know.
1) Single press, takes you back to your launcher's main screen.
2) Single press with hold, takes you to the task manager that shows you what's currently running along with previews of the apps.
3) Double press, takes you to S Voice.
I'm guessing that you are looking for number 2.

Thats really weird because like I said when I first got the phone and was on the home screen and pressed the button again it did the screen previews but now it only does what you listed. I wonder if anyone else had this happen, oh well thanks for the response.
In my Sgs3 I used to have a coma selected as a default function for a button on the left side of a spacebar. Generally if you hold that button and select a function you want from a popup menu, it used to be that button selected function until you changed it. Now, for some reason, few days ago my samsung decided it will be a microphone button regardless of what I use in a popup menu. It drives me crazy, because I dont use voice recognition. I use comas quite often on the other hand. I would love to know what caused this sudden change of hearts. Ideas anzone_
Hi Guys,
I have to use an old app, designed for Android 2.x, which still uses these ****ty three dots on the right bottom site to enter some settings, while using software navigation bar.
Now, I really like the invisible capacitive buttons and would like to continue using them. On the other hand, I also need to use this menu every now and then.
As the OPX is not heaving a menu button by default, like Samsung phones, what can I do?
Any advice?
If you are rooted then use Xposed + Force 3 dots menu, otherwise I wouldn't know a way to force that.
Yes, I noticed the same thing in Firefox. On the stock OS, it seems impossible to assign the "open menu" function to one of the buttons, (I mean with i.e. long press) while (if I'm not wrong) I had this set before the last ota update.
Hi all. It may seem a silly question and probably it is but there are apps (in this case Touchdown mail client) that haven't an icon to open the in app settings menu. With my previous phones I used a physical button, usually long press on the back button, to open it. But how to do it with the single button p9000? Thank you.
Very good question, they seem to have forgotten about apps that need a physical key for menu, have you tried enabling the softkeys to see if the menu button appears on them for you? Can the "Smart Button" not be setup to be the menu key? or is it only to open apps? I not played with it myself..
Still searching how to have the MENU inside applications, softkeys does not work !
I would ask the software maker! The phone maker won't add more physical buttons.
And multiple press are always software driven!
Even if the phone maker did, that won't help you out with the old hardware...
Doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere online so here goes:
Go to settings > Navigation bar > Turn On.
Go to app you need a menu on > swipe up from bottom to bring up the Nav bar.
Three dots appear on the end of the nav bar. Done.
If the three dots don't appear; click on the recent tasks button and then go back into the app and they should come up.
Tried and tested with EZ Drop.
- Doesn't seem to work with apps with the built in "three dots" menu.
I use ‘Menu Button (No root)’ by JetToast free on the Play store, to get round this problem.
