Here you can see what has happend to the menu button.
There where you need it, it is a little button on the right corner or on playstore right left corner.
But the optiones are not away, in ICS you've got more options!
You still need that menu button for legacy apps, otherwise you couldn't access the menu.
Long-pressing home button still acts as a multitask button.

I'd prefer the option to use the menu button as a multitasking button, get the settings icon in proper ics apps, and long press for menu in legacy apps. Is that option available?

Ok, so I've read about how you don't get the ICS quick change/recently used apps button on the new SIii.
Questions 1 is there a way to remap the Menu button so that is does the quick change feature?
2 is there a way to then, the double tap home button feature to get GOOGLE Voice Search/Actions?
3 is there a way that I can add on screen ICS buttons like on the Galaxy Nexus? And then make the hardware home button do something else?
Do I need apps? Rooting?
Thanks!
You need to root. You can turn on software keys with the AOKP rom but you cannot disable the hard keys.

You can disable the capacitive buttons, but you cannot re map them from what I have found

Do you know how to disable the hardware keys?

i would rather have the task manager open when you hold and press on the back button. the menu button when u hold give u the google search, but on the back button when u hold nothing happens. it would be only logical to apply the task manager to this button when pressed down and held for a a few seconds
Hey I have heard that NOVA launcher pro allows you to customize some of the these short cuts on the phone.

Aw yeah.
I do not have the phone yet, but I believe holding the home button will bring up the recent apps. This is how it's been for previous android versions before they made a dedicated button for the galnex
that's how it works for my Dinc, on gingerbread and ics

1. open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
2. add # to the beginning of the line of the key you want to disable
3. reboot
in the same file you can remap power key to home key for example
remember to make backup before editinf the file

is there a way to stop the home button from waking the device also? (so only the power button wake the device up)
I wonder if you guys can enlighten me. My goal is to have the Home key under the screen function as the power button, and have the normal power button (on the right side of the phone) function as Home (without waking the device). I want this because I'm always unintentionally hitting the power button when I pick up the phone.
I was able to get the Home button to function as power by changing key 116 to 172 in sec_powerkey.kl. However, now the normal power button doesn't do anything. I tried swapping POWER with HOME in sec_keys.kl, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any tips on how to give my power button a function now?

Hello, is there any way to take screenshots but not pressing power button and selecting 'screen capture'? Like with stock rom with the quickmemo button, or maybe with volume button + power button.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

If you have Xposed+Gravity Box, you can configure many key shortcuts to do so. For instance, I configured double press on menu button to take a screen capture (as well as long press this key for Torch).

Did you explored settings?
Usually custom ROMs allows users to change behavior of every buttons.

yes... they are sensor buttons.. not on-screen buttons its just a matter of .. text file somewhere i found some tutorials on internet how to change what a specific button does.. but .. i still don't know the keys.. so sometimes when i try i just screw it up and i have to restore my phone.. xD
With older apps, it was previously possible to access the app menu by pressing and holding the app overview button.
This is apparently no longer possible with the Galaxy Tab S7 (SM-T870).
Unfortunately, this app does not have the three dots or a button to get to the menu.
Is there another way I can open the app's menu?

As much as possible through virtual screen keys, for example, in the Button Savior application, which simultaneously helps save the power and volume key.
