Hi ,
is there a way to do a reassignment of Menu and Back buttons, i NEED to switch them in-between, cause they don`t work properly. i mean Back button works as a Menu button, and Menu button works as a Back button
crying
so what, there is now way to do something like that?
You need to edit /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl appropriately

I have the sgs2 for a few months, Im very satisfied with this phone, But there is a thing I cannot live with, THE HOME BUTTON, I dont know why? but a I dont like it at all, Ive been proving some apps to avoid it, someones like button savior, swipepad and wave launcher (This one is absolutely great).
I just wanna know: is there a way to remap LONG PRESS "BACK KEY" to go to home?, just like long press menu does to go to search!. I proved BUTTONREMAPPING but it doesnt have the "long press" options. I was searching and now I know that files on /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars setup the keys on the phone, indeed /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl shows the default capacitive buttons setup, but I dont have enough knowledge to change "LONG PRESS" options on this keys.
so:
Some of you guys know about it?
It is possible or not setup LONG PRESS BACK OR MENU KEY on SGS2?
I would also love to know how to remap those buttons. Also double-click home. I am running the simple clean room (based on stock rom)

Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place for this, but hopefully it will get moved if needed.
So, how many times have you used the menu button on your phone to check the time? And then you have to press the power button on the side to turn the screen off - right?
What if the menu/home button was able to turn of the screen when on the lockscreen? So you only need that one button to turn the screen on and off?
I know, I know, there's a power button like RIGHT THERE...but you have to change your hand position/shape to use it, when the home button is sat there doing nothing.
Is it possible? Does anybody want to have a go at it?
Or am I just a lazy so-and-so?
I have one..but I dont know can it working with your ROM... Im using CrDroid LLA + JKay,, backup your rom before flash it..

Hey there
this is not my phone, its my friends phone
So phone's back button and recent apps aren't working.
He said he didn't do anything nor did the phone fall.
Phone is not rooted.
Any idea on how to fix it ?
Or any alternative softwares for recent apps and back button ?
@MJ999:
Back-function by tap on right capacitive button?
Recents by long tap on hardware-home-button?
So simple home and left menu-button work?

To ask again: One swift tap on the hardware home button (= home) works fine?
I'm not aware of any app to replace these functions that work without root. With root you could use e.g. LMT Launcher and use it to simulate the button pushes.

It's the capacitive touch that isn't working, it doesn't illuminate.
He is saying he got an app from Play store, but only limited to back button.
On the keypad type *#0*# to open the factory test menu and press "subkey". The screen will go black. Now press the menu and back capacitive buttons. If the screen changes colour you have an os issue. If the screen stays black you have a hardware fault.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
I hate that Android has removed the menu button. Is there a way to put it back? What I would really like to do is change the recent screens button to function as the menu button.
This guide is for the Note 3 Neo and should work on all variants.
If you're looking at this thread then you should have noticed that the Menu key on @FireLord 's CM12.1 is mapped to MENU and you can't change it from Buttons in Settings since it only has Power Button, Recents Button, Volume Button and Home button and no Menu Button.
Of course, there are a bunch of Xposed Modules such as MenuBegone available to do the same but if you'd rather not install anything or if you just like to mess with your phone then this is the guide to follow
So here's what you to do make your Menu key function as a Recent's key.
Download any Root Brower (I'd suggest the one included in Rom Toolbox)
Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Open the File Generic.kl as a text file
Look for key 139 MENU in the list
Replace MENU with APP_SWITCH
Save and Reboot
Now your Menu key will function as a Recents Key and you'll also be able to change what tapping it and long-pressing it does through Buttons In Settings.
Thanks for the info.
but do you know how to enable vibration on them?

Oh I'm sorry, I'm afraid i don't know about that. All the vibrations are on and it seems only the Soft keys aren't vibrating. I'll fill you in if i do find something out though.

I've found temporary solution tbh, but it kinda weird. the softkey also vibrate when the screen is off.
