I'm running kushdeck's cm10 10/15 rom and just realized none of my apps have a menu button? I'm guessing i'm missing something stupidly simply. For example in the google play store i can't access my apps or settings on my sense rom i had the standard 3 dot button next to the search icon in the top right on cm 10 i have nothing same for twitter and other apps.
So how do i utilize a menu key on jb/cm10?
nvm figured it out (its been a while since i've run cm roms) for anyone looking for a solution go to settings>system>hardward keys and add a dual function to a buttom, ie long press of recent apps = menu

HTC One X, S, LG 4X, and upcoming ICS phones all have 3 keys but replaced the menu key with recent apps key. What if we configure the S2 that way to get closest to ICS experience? But I don't know how they solve the current apps that rely on menu key.
You can flash on screen buttons from themes and apps section
I think it will be included in cm9 settings(that menu button takes to recent apps thing)
Hello,
I know this question was asked elsewhere, but I did not find any solution to this.
Is it possible to make the capacitive Menu button function like a multitasking button in Galaxy S2?
If there is one thing I hate, it is having to long press Home to get to the multitasking menu.
I would really love to replace the menu key to do multitasking.
This is not unlike what HTC did with One X where did the opposite and gave an option to make the multitasking key a menu key.
I think by now, most of the applications in play store do have menu option within the app interface following android guidelines.
So, lack of a dedicated menu button should not be an issue.
If anyone knows any custom ROM or any other hack to achieve this, please do let me know.
Cheers.
CM10 -> Settings -> System -> Hardware keys -> Menu key or Menu key (long press) -> Recent apps switcher.
If you select Menu key (short press), I guess you'll ahve to enable the Show action overflow below to have the 3 dots as menu key in apps.
Maybe CM9 does have this too, and maybe AOKP (although I never saw this on ICS AOKP or JB AOKP).
I'm currently running the 20120901 version of CM10 because every new NIGHTLY and EXPERIMENTAL build isn't functioning like it. In the build I have, pressing the Recent Apps button brings up the App Settings and a long press and hold on the Menu button brings up the recent Apps. In the new builds nothing I can find brings up those settings. This renders several apps I need as useless. For instance when adding a contact there is no way for me to add an email address or any other content. With no Settings button I am unable to edit the contact. I'm hoping that I am just missing something. As I find more inconsistencies I'll report them here.
Also, I thought that a function of JellyBean was the ability to access Google Now from any screen by swiping the Menu button up. This feature doesn't appear to be working either.
*Update* I fixed the problem. The CM10 version I had had the keys defaulted that I needed to use. The new version didn't. I had to map the hardware keys. Here's how in case anyone else has a similar problem. Bring up Settings -- System -- Hardware Keys -- check Enable custom actions. Change Home Key (Long Press) to Recent Apps Switcher. Change App switch key to Open/Close menu. If this thread needs to be deleted then so be it. I just wanted to make sure I shared how I fixed my own problem.
I thought I saw a video on YouTube about how dragging the menu button up brings up Google now. Is this a setting I need to activate?

Okay, I just installed CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) on my Samsung GT-P5100 (first time I'm doing this)
1) Is there any way I can receive/listen FM radio ? Even if I have to change my firmware? I tried some apps, but I can't do it :X either they all crash when I launch them or they won't install at all..
2) Is there any way I can rearrange my applications in the "app drawer" that comes with the CM ? Maybe if I had a virtual menu button ?
3) Can I enable the virtual screenshot button on the bottom (the bar where the virutal back, home and running apps buttons are). I had ICS before this and I really liked it, but now - holding Power & VolumeDown, or taking a screenshot from the power menu.. I don't like it as much
Thank you in advance!!!
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!
