It is not possible to change the quick menu (or what ever Samsung calls it) apps.
It is possible to remove the screenshot button and the quick menu button if you have custom rom.
Yes it is possible to change the apps. Samsung has released an API to allow you to add different apps in.
But it is not possible to do as of now.

My home button had been acting up as of late, to remedy this I use an app called swipe pad to get me to home screen and other frequently used apps when I need. I am looking for a way to call up ICS recent tasks overlay with a shortcut so I can access it via swipe pad, anyone with a solutionor an idea to point me in the right direction?

interesting, searched for this a lot and ended empty hand, lets see if any other can come up with a solution
should be possible
Interested too
I was redirected by Notification Toggle releaser to this thread:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/2534489-post5.html
Where it gives code to do it via an app
And, he released a process apk that will use screen swipe to launch the recent apps from ICS here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/tools/190260-recentlauncher-unsichtbarer-recent-apps-softkey.html
Now if someone can code an apk to be launched instead of a process...
I used "Button Savior" on my old phone when the menu button was playing up.
It does have a home button, but i dont know if it supports long press.

Thank you for pointing me to that app
It filled all my needs
Hm, that's good to know!
Apex and Nova launchers now support this as a gesture toggle from home too
No more need to a third party app
yeah apex launcher is the best solution, it's wonderful!

Nova is also by far most stable for many
Test them both and decide, each and his needs
i use apex pro and it is stable for me..i have tested nova too but i prefer apex..
Great!

I wonder if there is an app that can allow a rooted user to hold on the back key for the recent task instead of the home button..

-Does anyone know how to group apps? I'm starting to have problems finding an app I need because the screen is already full and there many apps that I rarely use and I wanted to group this apps into a separate folder.
-Another thing I tried was disabling the camera tone but with no luck. Does anyone know how to disable it?

For grouping apps I'm using Nova Prime launcher and you can create different launcher tabs for what ever you like.
I believe the camera tone issue is legally motivated, in some places it is illegal to de-activate the camera sound I believe so I think this is why you can't turn it off from the settings, if you flash a custom ROM there is usually an option to turn it off (with a warning) but on stock ROMS usually not.
Hope that helps,
R.
Which launcher do u use?

If its touchwiz,there os an option to create a folder in the homescreen and drawer, just long click choose add to home screen and select folder, for the drawer clock on the menu button when in drawer mode, it will give u an option ro hidde aps amd also create folders...for the camera sound, root it...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm using touchwiz. I found out the option that you can create a folder in the homescreen but I was hoping to group the apps in the menu and not just hide them.
I also rooted my phone yesterday but I couldn't find anything to disable the camera tone. I guess l'm gonna have to install another launcher and see if sorts out.
Anyaway thanks,

I haven't (yet) rooted my phone, but I can take "shutter sound" away. You need to tick your volume rocker to minimize system sounds to silent. Then you can take pictures without shutter tone. Just remember put vol back up after.

Hmm maybe there really are localisation differences. Vol-key brings camera sounds off atleast in my device.

So if you are like me you're tired of looking at the gaudy version of a nav bar and soft keys that amazon has come up with. So I started looking around for a way to modify the soft keys to look more like stock android. I may at some point dive into the framework and rewrite portions to do this, but in my search I came across an old method for removing the nav bar altogether. It is a very simple build.prop edit and at the same time adds some screen real-estate. I've confirmed this does work on this device, check out the screenshots below.
How to(rooted device):
1- You will first need a soft key/nav buttons app(once this is done the stock keys will be gone, and kinda hard to navigate without some). I like using Button Savior, it allows you to place the soft keys anywhere around the perimeter of the screen, and has multiple themes you can use. Also if you have the paid version you can change the number and position of buttons
2- Using a file manager navigate to /system/build.prop file
3- Open build.prop with a text editor, scroll to the end and on a new line enter:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
4- Save and reboot.
Now there are ways to do this with launchers but it will not be permanently removed and will still show up in apps.
To get stock keys back just delete the line you entered in the build.prop and reboot

Hello
Just wanted to say thanks for the above info. It all works great and the extra room on the screen is appreciated. By the way, I am using CM 10 rom on my RAZR M, and it works great there as well. Doesn't work perfectly on the stock RAZR M, although both soft keys and header info (3G/4G-signal strength, etc).are removed as well, but there is a System.UI closing warning. However, it does work on the stock if the added directions are removed from build.prop in text editor, but NO reboot. Otherwise the stock keys return.
Works on 7" KFHD, too. Just set up, very cool. Big thanks

Works fine on my recently re-rooted 7.2.2 - went ahead & sprung for the pro so I could remap the phone key to something useful ("calling home", going to the original home so I can read books. I sometimes forget that's what I originally bought it for).
Thanks.
Sadly, i must say that i detected an issue. Some apps that are coming with an own menu-button lost this button, e.g. Aldiko (app to read books) or google chrome. In chrome, the menu can be accessed with the menu-button that comes with button saviour, but the menu of Aldiko can't be accessed at all.

This will work for me until cm 10 comes out. Confirmed working on Kindle Fire HD 7". This also fixes the issue of the keyboard in landscape mode.
Wow, this is the greatest thing I have done to my kindle yet, make sure to install button savior first or else you are gonna be having a hard time fixing it. Couldnt access my root to change the build prop back to install button savior, luckily i was able to download the apk file on my computer and transfer it over and install it. Set it to appear when i swipe from the right corner...and goes away after 5 seconds..different themes... and alot of options when it comes to using custom triggers. Found a pro version on google, works flawless.
Thanks for the tip, but can I suggest the better looking ltm launcher.

Nice tip, I used button saviour previously on my HTC Desire and found it to be a great piece of kit, but I've noticed that while using it on my Kindle, particularly in portrait mode, when the button saviour bar is closed there is a flicker lower down the screen which is very annoying. Its as though it repositions itself at the bottom of the screen before closing. I'm using the pro version as well, so it's not got anything to do with that.
For now I've gone back to the default nav bar - it is annoying that there is no autohide for that really as otherwise it does the job. There must be a way to autohide it as some apps do that.
I also had the no menu button problem. I had to go back to stock nav bar till that is figured out..oh well

You can customize it in button savior to make a menu button there are a ton of extras in the settings

Yeah i know but with out stock nav bar the menu button doesn't do anything. For instance if i set it up with a menu button on button savior but no nav bar when an app should have a menu button it wouldn't be there any more. The button savior menu button also does nothing when u click it. If the stock nav bar is their however then the button savior menu button works again and it appears in the app again

I had noticed this, but not the part about the menu working with the bar there. perhaps we could mod the framework-res.apk to set the height to 0 or something then we would not need to do the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1..
About the file edit?
When I open the file and type the new line in.. It will not let me save it. Is it write protected or something? How do I get past this?
Thanks!
thanks alot for sharing.ill give it a try in my kindle fire hd 7" keep it up and GODBless!

What file explorer are you using? Some of the text editors dont work on this device. I believe I ended up using root browser.
You're a life saver, man! Couldn't stand the huge bar Amazon thought looked good
Edit: Is there any way to make it so Button Savior automatically acquire super user privileges upon boot, without having to interact with it first?
An unimportant request, but would be pretty awesome

If you use root explorer, it works perfect - just mount as R/W,and it'll let you save.

Make sure you mount the s system folder, and make sure whatever text editor you use has super user permissions or it won't save

I love my screen space, so my only concern with the LG G2 was the on screen Nav Bar eating up my precious screen. So I began my hunt to find a solution, now I am on T-mobile and development is starting off slower than the other carriers so after some searching here is my solution to remove the Nav Bar and LMT (pie control) on my LG G2 T-mobile (801).
Step 1: Download and install GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys&hl=en Pro version is required for the last step to work.
Step 2: Download latest LMT Launcher v1.912 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150&page=686 1. Install apk 2. Open app 3. Swipe Activate Tochservice to ON 4. Check auto start 5. Open Set Gesture Input and select #4 6:The rest are customization options, user choice
Step 3: Open GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys 1. Swipe Enable to ON 2. Check Hide Soft Keys 3. Check Start on Boot 4. Make sure Notification is not checked (Pro) 5. Open Navigation option and click none (Pro)
Make sure you are rooted and give permissions every time you are asked
Enjoy
This is tested on T-mobile but I do not see any reason why it would not work on other versions of the G2
What's the purpose of the LMT launcher?

Nicely done! I'll give this a shot tonight.
Hi i'm searching for this all day
Finally the solution was autohide PRO..
In this way both app will run in background occupying RAM, right? Amount?
Forget LMT and auto hide pro...There is a app that is ALOT better than both of them.Search for UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar) It will let you hide the big LG soft keys completely,and replace them with its keys that are fully customisable and can be as tiny as you want them to, and they can hide also (same as Auto hide pro).Just remember to unhide the LG keys from settings before you off it tho.
sorry for double post
I don't get it when I follow the instructions and the final step when I click PRO, I lose my Nav bar and have no soft keys at all

You have to completely set up LMT first, try setting the trigger area to the bottom and right side so when getting rid of the nav bar you can use the pie controls.

Yupppppp UDN is clutch in combination with the Auto hide softkeys app..
auto hide softkeys to get rid of the softkeys
and udn for the hideable customizable new softkeys... the fact that the softkeys stay on the screen until you touch elsewhere is clutch... its annoying not being able to repeatly press a softkey without it collapsing on you, and with udn, it doesnt do that

I dont know,i dont have any issues,i got the Korean model F320S tho.Still it doesnt matter how we do it,as long as we do what we need.
To hide the soft keys without any app add this to the bottom of your build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Do it with a build.prop editor so you get the right permissions and so on.
Don't forget to set up LMT first.

Is there a way to auto-hide the top notification bar just like the app mentioned and its effects on the navigation bar?
I have been using Android phones for years, but never did I find, after hours of searching, something like this. Full screen potential.
What I'm asking is like what an app named " Smart Statusbar" does. The only problem with this is that it only works with apps that hide the notification bar, not all apps.
Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to say that you need to be rooted for this.
Othervice for example this editor sets correct permissions automatically when you save.
Use the pencil icon when adding the line, not the +.
