So far Liquidsmooth is the only ROM I've found that allows fully customizable hardware button remapping, are there any others?
SlimBean is what I'm running now, and it allows full remapping of the soft keys. I set menu to recents and love it.

what i'm looking for is a mod (flashable or DIY instructions, i don't care) that'll
-remap the buttons to multitask, home, back
-remap longpress home to google now
-activate onscreen menu overflow buttons in apps (as seen on phones without dedicated menu keys)
-put a Sense 4 style menu bar on the bottom of the screen on apps that need it - but slim! not massive like the onscreen keys that i get if i turn em on via buildprop editing
i've tried doing this myself and i can get as far as remapping the individual keys (and i managed once - i forget how - to remap the longpress home) but i can't get the menu overflow buttons in apps to appear for anything, and i don't even know how to start getting the Sense-style menu bar. In fact, when i remapped the menu button to multitasking, i couldn't access the menu in any app at all.
oh, and i want to do this on a touchwiz based rom, because of the s-pen and camera goodies.
if this isn't possible, is there at least some way to make menu the multitasking button, and longpress it for menu, while activating the onscreen menu buttons?
(hell, if that can't be done, can i just leave it as is and get the menu overflow buttons? because they'd make using the phone via external monitor or s-pen - both of which i do a lot - much, much easier)
thanks in advance!
Have you tried apex launcher. I use most of the things you are wanting via Apex
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I really prefer to use my menu button as recent apps (long press for menu), and just have the 3-button overflow menu in app. At the same time, I'd much rather use a stock Samsung rom. It seems the only way to get this feature is to flash a CM based rom. Is there anyway around this?
Alternatively; is there a way to disable capacitive buttons in a rom completely? (Makes it easier to use PIE)
Hi All!
Been loving the Roms on here. but for some reason with the Hardware Keys remap feature on cm10.1 some of them allow you to change single presses or turn them off e.g. im using a navbar turn off all the softkeys and home button... however i can only change long presses? is there any way i can flash this onto my rom?
Does anyone use pie controls with their GS4? I am going to try it, or remap some of the hardware buttons. I am thinking changing the menu button to the recent apps, and changing the long press home button to open google search. At least this way it would be kind of like a Nexus device. Does anyone else remap their hardware buttons?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First time I tried pie controls, I really didn't like them. But I flashed PAC last week, and I kind of like them now. I don't like the idea of nav buttons taking up screen real estate, and I want a one-click recents option. So I've been using them for about a week, and it's not bad. Finding a good trigger area is a bit tricky, though.
There's any way to have Customizable Hardware Buttons on stock based ROMs?
I want to remap the menu button to 'recents' like Galaxy S5.
What i know you can't. It's only possible with custom rom (like CM)
