Id like to know if it can be possible to make the home button when pressed a longer time a way to kill the application actually in use ? Instead of manually close it ?
to replace the opening of tasks managers ?
In CM7 there is an option to long press the back-button to close the app.
actually I'm on checkroom with siyah and latest 1.7 theme from vert and I like everything about it except this function is missing for me since I came from iPhone !
im not sure if I want to reflash a new rom for it
Moved as not development.
no one have a little idea about it ? except the cm7 rom ?
Does anyone out there know how to put power control switches inside the pull-down screen?
I know that Widgetsoid and Power Control + can do this, but they both open a separate window that has the actual switches in it. I'm looking for a way to modify the stock ROM so I can press the switches on the pull-down screen itself.
Somebody has been able to do it on Sense: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877003 so if anyone feels like being brave and trying to port it....
I installed the v21 MiniCM7 on my x10 mini pro, them has "standard" and configurable ...works fine.
Yes, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm after. But I want to put it on a stock ROM. Obviously it's possible, I'm just trying to find out how..
Ah, here is ... well, then I can not help you on ... I'm sorry ...
i'm afraid that was frameworks related my friends.. and that too way hard to do.. it's like porting stock timescape to work on custom ROM.. and until now? there's no one had to do that..
I suspected it would be something complicated and time-consuming, but I don't have a problem with that. And people have done it before, it's in some of the custom ROM's available here. Nobody any idea how?
Does anyone know how to fix a broken menu button or a workaround solution. My menu button is not working, it lights up when you touch the home or back button, but it has no function whatsoever.
try buying a new captive button set it wont cost that much online
or maybe someone you know is willing to let you test with their buttons on your phone
anyway this is a workaround for it :
as im a new member i supose i cant post links to other webpages but on the android market there is a app called SoftKeys for ROOT USERS
its a app that gives you the hard buttons onscreen.
a friend of mine said this worked without root but idk.
downloaded the softkeys app and it's working perfectly. thank you.
are you on a rooted dell streak?
if no;
is there any featuers that dont work as they should or can anyone else answer why it says "for root users"?
yes my streak is rooted and running the DSC .66b rom
So ive been search around for a while now on how to fix this. And to anyone that chimes in and says why do you need the menu button obviously you don't use older apps, the new touch button on the screen is a huge annoyance especially since i've used my phones this way since my first S1. Regardless this is how i want it and so do many other people.
Currently this is only for a rooted phone
I have figured out how to remap the left soft key from the App Switcher/Multi window over to the old style menu key. Instructions for that can be found here
But now i don't have any way of switching to my currently open apps, after remapping the left key, the longpress now takes you to search. and long pressing on the home button also takes you to another variation of the search (both i dont use nor want). I want to be able to remap my left softkey on longpress to open up currently open apps (APP_SWITCH) and it would be nice if long pressing on Home could open the Task Manager as it did on my S3.
As far as i can tell editing of the longpress function is done via a Policy edit. Read about that HERE
Keep in mind that post is from 2014 so i have no idea if the internal code is still being handled the same way, i couldn't even find that file on my S6, but i did find a file called SEPOLICY in my root folder using ROOT EXPLORER. Do any of you know more about this and how I can go about changing this? im sure its a code level adjustment. Thanks
Long-press home button can be controlled without root easily.
Check out this app:

I use the long-press home to get to my last used app.
I wonder if I can remap my buttons to launch any other apps.. Will have to tinker around a bit.

very useful. menu for navigation is long long outdate. software nave or 3 dots is the customary way to go. adding a secondary menu button is redudant and unnecessary. my little ewww comment brought a lot to the table. you tryingt to call me out on it is less useful.

lol f off
If you guys use Dropbox, how do you get to the menu with SORT, etc.. without a menu key. This is making me crazy. I'm using nova launcher and there is no floating menu key. ????
The problem is if not every developer uses it, it's inconsistent.
It often helps if the options etc. In apps are on the top, so you don't have to fidget with your phone to reach the top or use two hands.
The menu button on every app is positioned somewhere else, so I find the op wanting it justified.
All in one gestures let's you remap every key, for some odd reason on my s4 I can remap the menu key, but on the S6 for some odd reason the option of the menu key has vanished in the same app:what:
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Hi pal. Hope it helps. Make 254 button remap, then install nova launcher, in tab gestures select long press menu and then recent app. Profit! Now once tapped you have menu button, long pressed - recent apps.
So, i made it, i use it. It works.

i saw your page.. there are 2 roms i seem to like, yours and EMPORIA but idk who is best. lol i haven't even bought the phone yet but yea the menu button will be missed for me. what i want in a rom? if its based on stock i like it as close to stock as possible (no bloatware), call recording, if there's an option for increasing camera performance thats awesome, better battery life than stock original. that's it basically. and if i only want to root, how can i change menu longpress? i hered theres like a toolbox root app for galaxy devices...

it's only my personal rom..means it's not made for making any profit or let's say thousands of users..
i think you must try it yourself for one or two days and compare..my is very clean
Ok i know you can switch them round, and I have tried to change the file so key 158 etc is MENU, but it still opens the recent apps
Is there any way to get the menu back, like the oneplus one had
thanks in advace

Add menu button via GravityBox (Root Needed)
cheers, but tried this and it doesnt work, my phone is rooted and status bar mods works, but when it comes to buttons even after restart its like the system sticks to its settings
tried it on oneplue one on cm12.1 and it works
I really would like the menu Button on my left hardware Button. Is there any Option to get this going, because I am really used to this from the One.
doesnt look like it for now, i`ve tried various xposed modules, but they all seem to bring up the same thing despite saying menu.
I even tried editing the keyboard map and this says menu.
Hopefully they`ll be a CM rom soon then i can go onto it, still using the ONO for now
