Is there a way to force the overflow button (the three dot icon in action bar) for all applications in our neo that has the physical menu key? I saw this in the ka rom but not in others (I use jj)

I think if you like the menu button, you should use ROM KA

Here you can see what has happend to the menu button.
There where you need it, it is a little button on the right corner or on playstore right left corner.
But the optiones are not away, in ICS you've got more options!
You still need that menu button for legacy apps, otherwise you couldn't access the menu.
Long-pressing home button still acts as a multitask button.

I'd prefer the option to use the menu button as a multitasking button, get the settings icon in proper ics apps, and long press for menu in legacy apps. Is that option available?

Ok ive remapped menu to APP_SWITCH and now recent apps appear when i press menu. But how do i force the overflow menu (three dots) to appear? I know the samsung apps are capable because if you add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop it shows the navigation bar and all app have a menu in them. But how can i make the menu appear without forcing the navigation bar?
I think i read something about changing "hasPermanentMenuKey" to return as false so that the system automatically display the overflow menus but im not sure how to do that or if thats even correct.
In summary: I want menus to appear in apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
bump. Any help?

I remap the menu key to APP_SWITCH too, anyhow, without showing the emulated home/cancel button on screen via qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, the force overflow action menu button just do not appear. If able to trick the app to alway show the action menu button, the remap key may work good, just some app like Whatapps / Facebook / Twitter may not able to access the menu.
Also, looking at keylayout folder, the file Vendor_04e8_Product_7021.kl contain list per below, change of it do have any impact? I tested but it acted weird and no conclusion on this. I did tried to put the Key 704 from RECENTAPPS -> APPLICATION and it launch the voice search when long pressing home button.
Key 704 RECENTAPPS
Key 705 APPLICATION
Key 706 SIP_ON_OFF
Key 707 VOICESEARCH
Key 708 QPANEL_ON_OFF
Any key# to remap the long press of capacitive Menu key to other function? Or long pressing feature is control by software only??
kindle fire hd

Do you know by any chance how do you do this for kindle fire hd 7 7.3.1 I want to disable nav bar by using qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 but this will get rid of the action bar app Manu as well. This wouldn't be a problem but the LMT launcher app menu button won't work unless the action bar app menu is there. Please help
i want to chane my menu button to recent apps, cause my framework-res uses "3 dots" menu funcion on the screen, so i dont need the physical button on my xperia mini pro any more.
should i edit generic,kl in /system/usr/keylayout?
anybody?
I remapped my capacitive menu button to Recent Apps on ICS. However, I've seen somewhere before a mod or something that forces apps like GMail, etc to show the on-screen menu button (I think it's called overflow menu). My problem now is that the apps still think that I have a menu button so it's hiding the overflow menu. How do I force ICS to show it? Or how do I make it know that I don't have a menu button anymore so it should show the virtual one?
I've done it long ago but my hard drive crashed so I can't figure out what I did before to achieve it.
This is on ICS CM 9 Xperia Active. Thanks in advance!
Hey peeps
if anyone would know how to disable the bottom 3dot menu, and just to long press home key for menu like they did on the htc one / x etc....
Cheers
I wish I had a three dot menu button.
Xposed may fix the 3dot disable option. Venom rom has the option to edit the home key long press to offer menu or other choices.
Yes you will need a custom ROM such as mentioned above, also Viper ROMS support this function.
