Did something change in the play store? all the sudden the menu button isnt there anymore for me. its just the back button and the search button so i have no way to get the the "My apps" area.
are you running a custom ROM? in some of them the 3dot-menu is disabled.
Try to setup the right button (from the 3 red bottom buttons on your phone), that it toggles the menu. It's somewhere in settings -> Display & gestures (I think)
Unfortunately I can't tell you on which point exactly at settings you can configure this, cause I'm running a custom ROM where this setting is at another position.
Or even try to short or long press that button for showing the menu (in Play store and any other app that has a menu).

So I was able to install CM7 on my nook tablet (love it btw) without any problems. It runs great but I have a small user question.
The bottom bar that allows navigation and options in apps. The bar with the menu, back, search buttons that had to be coded into the rom. There is an option when playing a game or inside another app that will allow you to minimize this menu. Is there a way to get it to come back while still in the app?
Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I have no idea what the technical term for this bar is, so I didn't know what to search for.
Thanks
Settings -> cyanogenmod settings -> tablet tweaks -> choose unhide button
I have it set to home (the n button) so that hitting it once brings the menu back and hitting it again brings me home.
Thank you! Exactly the info I needed!
I've searched everywhere, but didn't find a solution for the following:
when you hold the bottom left hardware touchkey you'll get a popup browser with google search.
And if you hold the center key a window appears with recent programs.
Is there a way too change these shortcuts into something of my own choice?
My s2 is rooted, so maybe there is an app that will do the trick?
Like you, I'd love to remap the menu key to home and home key to menu. We use the home key much more often than menu and it's harder to press a physical key. However, I haven't found such a mod yet.
Remapping keys
I am looking for a way to remap long press of back key (i.e. hold down right key) to something else. Haven't found anything yet.
Now I am using SwipeSwitcher - I configured top left swipe to run Quicker, top right swipe to run a task switcher (I am using PreHome), bottom right swipe to run recent apps (I couldn't find an app to run ICS recent apps, I installed Nova Launcher and assigned the swipe action to its recent apps shortcut).
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
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!
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.
