To disable the hardware buttons do the next things:
- open gpio-keys.kl, you can find it in /system/usr/keylayout/
- add an # in front of the line of the button you want to disable
- save
- reboot
Supernexus dont have navigation bar...
Try paranoid, Pacman....

Hi,
do someone know if it's possible to remap the menu button on our galaxy s 2 to be the multitask button ( I mean the app switcher ) ? I searched hours on Google to see if it was possible and I found a couple way to get it to work. But I'm not sure it works for our phone because we miss some files in the key layout directory.
If you know how we could remap it and get the 3 dots on the screen, let me know !
I'd be so happy !
Have a nice day Belig :laugh:
My Suggestion
Hey Belig
I want to have that too, it's so anoying to long press the home button everytime.
But I think getting the 3 Dots on the screen is pretty ****ty, so if we could do it that when we press the menu button the "recent apps" pops up. And when we long-press the menu button we can get the normal menu. That would be the easiest and best fix for that i think.
But I'm sorry to tell you that I don't know how to do that.
And I think the problem is that nobody is interested in doing that... , as I saw this question more than once on XDA-developers.
But if someone reads it and is interested, please do that! I would be able to do a little donation to that aswell if needed!

I am also really interested in this. Would be awesome if someone could do this.
Update, this was what I found, if you check the last page, first post, it seems that this method works fine with Samsung Galaxy S2 [running cm9, at least ] .
[HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
Unfortunately, it involves decompiling and other nasty things, which would require quite a bit of effort. Would've been nice, if some ROM, had this option prebuilt. [ changing via settings].
Just a quick update/info. This has been merged in latest CM10 and is also a feature of cm9.

So, I went through the changelog of cm10 and found this :
Settings: Hardware key custom rebinding (2/2)
Description (sounds cool, can't wait for the next build ) :
Code:
Settings for rebinding the actions performed on the following key press events:
Home long-press, menu press, menu long-press, search press, search long-press,
app-switch press and app-switch long-press.
The available actions are: Nothing, open/close menu, recent apps switcher,
search assistant, voice search and in-app search.
EDIT : Sorry, hadn't seen Spiralzz's post. I was actually having this in my build cm10 itself. [ the one I flashed today ] Awesome!!! Now, I have set long-press home button to voice search, press menu button for app-switcher, and long-press menu button for search . Thinking of using, three button in-app for menu options for a while. Thanks a ton

Where can I access this in CM9? I´m on the 7 aug nightly.
I didn´t find it in settings/system.
i resume this old thread. I'm using cyanogenmod 10, so i can remap button as i want. But i would try the stock jelly bean from samsung (obviously rooted) and i I would remap the menu button for multitasking. There is now the possibility? Thanks
Hello, I was wondering if is there any way to make the Menu key (The one placed at the right of the home key) to work as the musltitask key on the nexus phone, I had installed a mod that enables the menu panel on the screen as in the nexus, so my phisycal key is useless and I want to map it as the multitask key , I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, if you don't please let me know

First of all, what mod did you install? I want one too. Lol.
As for your menu key, if get any root file manager and go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and examine the .kl files there. As for me, mine is located at cyttsp_key.kl. You should see something like
Code:
# KEY_MENU, KEY_BACK, KEY_HOME
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
Simply replace MENU with APP_SWITCH and you should be all set. I'm not sure if spacing is important but keep a backup of the original file first before modifying it just in case.

Is in every app I have on my phone (Tested them), Youtube, Calls, messages, quickpic, etc...
Btw, I'm editing my own framework res file only with these mods:
- On-Screen option (menu) button
- Action bar with text
- Fast Bluetooth turning On/Off
- Volume slider is moved to bottom (will make you easier to slide it with your finger)
- Notification toast is moved to top (everything's better if can be seen clearly )
So, if you want it I can share it or if you want the framework res with only the On screeen option button, just tell me

Given the huge screen size of mega 6.3, i do not mind to use some space for the virtual keys of Android. I also do not want to use the physical home,back,menu keys on the phone.
Is there any way to enable the Android virtual keys so that it will look like the nexus, sony xperia z... etc

You can use Pie control or Button Saviour from the Play store to have on screen buttons.

I don't know if it works, but there's already a thread about the NavBar(virtual keys). I needs a modified SystemUI tho.

Has anyone tried to find a way to change the recent apps button to Menu button? I think that it is more convenient and the recent apps could pop up with long press of the button.
No, because no one would want that (well, besides LG).
I guess you can root and use a navbar editor app and change it yourself.

You need to be rooted.
1. Install Xposed Framework from here for Android 4.2 http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk ,
Here for android 4.3/4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48484642 ,
2. Inside Xposed, install and enable GravityBox,
3. Open GravityBox, under Navigation Bar Tweaks, enable Master Switch,
4. Click back and search Navigation Key Actions,
5. Under Recent Key, you can change Single Tap action to "Show Menu",
Long Press action to "Recent apps",
6. Reboot, Done!
Thanks for the reply.
I have already tried that but with kitkat version of gravitybox cause I am on GPe rom but it does not work. Have you tried that with jb version and it works for you?

I am on stock 4.3 and works perfectly. Not sure about GPe 4.4.
Other apps suchas softkeyz, UDN, GMD softkey, LMT launcher,... are all overlapping with keyboard when typing.
BTW, should press thanks button instead of saying it
GravityBox definitely works for remapping keys on a 4.3 rom ~ not sure about 4.4. I know xposed doesn't play nicely with ART, are you running dalvik or ART (if art that may be causing the issues).

Yeap, my rom is ART compatible, so maybe this is the problem.

Yeap that's true, it doesn't even need to restart!
On previous phones including the S5 you could just change the build.prop or use gravity box to add them but every time I try on reboot I get system UI crashing non stop until I undo my changes.
Has anyone gotten them somehow?
What about the side key panel?

This is a shame. I figured this would be one of the first mods due to the popularity and convenience of on-screen buttons. The bezel on the Note 4 is so small at the bottom that it wouldn't even look like a waste of space to have a navigation bar. The capacitive buttons are so easily pressed due to the small bezel. I don't mind this, but I wish the option for on-screen was included by samsung. I also hate the "back" button on the right side because I'm left-handed and can't reach it with my dominant hand. That should be reversible as well. Is that possible?
I also recommend lmt. The back button is instant.

Did exactly that as soon as I got it. Although I actually prefer back key on right, just find note too wide to reach across, being left handed. Turned off the key light, not to cause confusion, and I guess it took a day to train muscle memory.

Ah, thanks! What would I change to simply disable the Recent and Back keys completely? I have on screen keys now. I still want to keep the home button because I don't accidentally press it.
Actually, I just put a # in front of the line for app_switcher, which worked. What do I change or remove to disable the capacitive Back hardware key? Thanks!
EDIT: figured it out!
To disable the Recent and Back hardware keys (capacitive buttons), edit /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and put a # in front of these 2 lines:
key 158 BACK
key 254 APP_SWITCH
Save and reboot!

The only thing about let and pie control in general is that it auto dissappear. When multiple back key is required, it is a pain.
Which is why I have resorted to using side key panel when I don't want to use capacitive. I edited settings database to add transparency to side panel menu as well as having a hint bar dissappear. I moved it to the comfortable zone for my thumb, and trigger it without fail. It says on till I press outside of the side menu.
It is working great for me. Although I would rather have standard nav bar for purely visual reasons as well as more modding options.

I too am a lover of a static nav bar on my Galaxy Devices.
I now have a SM-N910P now and am frustrated as heck at not being able to get it functional here, on a rooted stock NK2. I used to run SlimKat 4.4.2 on my SPH-L710 and loved the navbar that they baked into the ROM. SlimLoli is maturing for the Note 4, but it doesn't yet have any S-Pen support baked in. This fact, when coupled with how well Samsung and Sprint have done with TouchWiz on the Note 4 have caused me to hold off on putting a custom ROM on the device.
So, what to do.?. Editing buildprop does indeed cause the looping system UI FC. UDN is an excellent solution barring one issue, and that it is doesn't have a means to dedicate a portion of the display to the nav bar. It just overlays on top of the launcher's/app's UIs. I'd be willing to pay for a solution that fixes this.
Pie controls have never really clicked with me. Not yet being willing to move away from NK2, I find that I am wondering if there is a way to force a portion of the bottom of the screen to be entirely dedicated to a specific app, all of the time. As depicted in this screeny, UDN overlays and it is frustrating as hell.
Anyone have any ideas yet?
