Bring back the menu button! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

So, this is day #2 using my sgs5 and I can't count how many times I clicked on the new "recent" button, hoping a menu will show up, just to return to the app and press again a long click. is very annoying!
Is there any app that can re-map that key? And change the long-press home button as it was before, showing "recent".
I'm rooted.
Thanks.

On the custom ROMs I have been using, by default if you long press the menu button, guess what, the menu button displays the menu

If you used the menu mainly to access the settings menu like I did, I just use the toolbox with the settings shortcut in it, and put it down in the button left corner. That way it's near the a same place as the menu key was and I can quickly access the settings menu. Just a thought that May help you.

No thanks! I Much prefer the recent apps button.

If you rooted your phone you can uze Xposed/Gravitybox to remap the hardware keys back to what they used to be. Works much better that way IMHO.

Did you try long pressing the menu button. At least with the Nova Prime launcher I prefer, it works as the old method and no remapping needed. This way you have best of both worlds. Short press recent apps and long press menu settings etc. Anyway, for me simple is best. This doesn't require anything on your part.

Yea kinda lazy. At first I hated menu leaving but now getting used to it. Just get used to it holding on to recent will do what you wanted.

Gravity box works great to change long-press actions. If it can change single-press actions also, then I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
To change single-press actions, I use Xposed Additions:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.xposed.additionsgb
I use it on my S4 to do the opposite of what the OP wants.
It drives me nuts that half the new apps out there no longer use the "menu" button properly anymore. And so I've set my "menu" button to behave exactly as the S5.
I also use it to completely disable the home button while the screen is off. It was driving me nuts that the screen turned on every time I wiped my screen with a damp towel, because I'd accidentally touch the home button.

Thanks CZ Eddie,
I was about to try xposed but in other posts I've seen that this breaks some other functionality in the s5. I thought to wait a bit longer to make sure everything is sorted out with maybe an xposed update
How is your S health and private mode? Still working?

Dud you ever figure out what to do with this request? Did changing the settings mess other things up like you thought they would? As soon as I get an s5, this has to be the first thing I do. Really don't care for the events button as the primary.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

One last question about this (and only because I don't know how the button is actually physically built).
I'll still be dealing with the same recent apps visual display, right? I mean the button display won't automatically switch from the 2-box looking icon to the 3/4 lines/dots that represents menu?
I fully expect not, but just wasn't sure what magic causes that button to work.
Thanks.

No its not onscreen buttons it just changes your current action on the recents button u already have to menu so when u press that recents button it will actually be the menu button now.

Users of SwiftKey3 AND Google Chrome

Do you get really annoying glitches with SwiftKey when you use Chrome?
Basically, when I'm typing something into a form, like just Googling something, I get these insane errors/predictions that I can only describe as repeated parts of words.
Example: if I'm trying to type "Plainfield public works" and I delete a letter or something, all of a sudden I have like "plaplaiplaiplaiplaiplaiplai" as a suggestion, and when I try to delete parts of it, it gets even LONGER of a word. Then when I delete the word, it always deletes more than just that stupid word so my whole sentence is messed up. I always have to switch back to HTC keyboard when using Google Chrome which stinks.
Again, this ONLY happens with Chrome, so it isn't a SwiftKey thing in general. I just typed all of this with no issues. I'll try to grab a screen shot of this issue...
Edit: I tried to type "this is so annoying" and didn't even try to backspace anything. This is what I got:

Yeah it drives me nuts. I love SwiftKey, and I love Chrome, so I hate choosing between the two. It's like choosing between Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper...
I guess I love Chrome more because I've never considered using the stock browser. Since ICS makes switching keyboards so quick and easy, I just do that. I don't understand how a keyboard has issues with only one app though... This is way above my head. Would I report the bug to SwiftKey or Google?

It's the very reason I un installed chrome today.. Too much bull crap to worry about. Stock browser is just fine.

Yeah I get this too, if I had to guess it has something to do with the instant search feature used by Google conflicting with the prediction of SwiftKey.
Try turning off instant search with Google and see if that helps.

Thanks for the idea! I never thought about that, but it makes sense that those two things would be fighting one another. Since it appears to work on the stock browser when Googling, it must be app related. I'm not sure how to turn off instant search though. I'm actually not even sure it uses instant search...

I use Thumb Keyboard and while I didn't have this exact problem it definitely didn't work right with chrome. I kept getting kicked out of the field I was typing in or suddenly my cursor would move to the middle of the sentence, etc. I spent 20 minutes trying to finish 3 sentences before giving up.

Now that is very interesting... how can SwiftKey offer a fix if the problem isn't on their end?? Or, coincidentally, both keyboards happen to have made the same mistake in their code or whatever. Weird.
Yeah I've had this back even with the 3D, hated the issue because I love both products. So what I do is keep a stock ICS keyboard installed and then upon launching Chrome, Tasker brings up the list of keyboards and I select it. A bit of an annoyance? Yes, but both of the apps are too useful to be without.
(Also, if you're wondering why I don't just have Tasker automatically switch the keyboards, its because it can't :/ It's a security feature within Android that prevents "malicious applications from switching the user to their own IME". More info here. Kind of a shame but I do understand why it was implemented.
Hopefully either Swiftkey or Chrome get it resolved, wherever the issue lies.
I get that bug occasionally, as well as the keyboard not responding at all. It comes up, i hit keys and they light up as if i hit them but they don't get inserted, basically the whole input service locks up as i can't even switch keyboards. None of the other replacement keyboards i've used do this.
Yeah, this is a constant issue and forced me to switch back to stock keyboard.

[Q] Remap Menu Key to Recents

Anyone have a good way to do this? I found the files in the /system/usr/ folder but I'm not exactly sure what to edit...
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Sorry to bump my own post, but I figured out how to remap APP_SWITCH to MENU, but I can't seem to get the 3 dot overflow menu button to show up in apps (like chrome), or map google now/search to long press home or long press menu. If anyone has any insight on this I'd greatly appreciate it.
While this isn't exactly what you want, I think you should be able to enable the navigation bar to give you the virtual home/recent/back buttons and trigger the virtual menu button. I don't have this phone, but it should work to just open up the build.prop and add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (requires root obviously) and reboot. I've only done this on a galaxy s cm so it may go badly with a stock rooted... try at your own risk. If you do try, please respond (and post a screenshot ) as I'm curious and considering this phone.
I tried adding that line (again) but no luck...

It looks like (from the screenshot) that you have it =1, not 0. You want it to =0 because it's like saying false, there are no hard keys so android should add the navigation bar. Try changing it to =0, and maybe use a text editor like the one in root browser (free) and reboot. Let me know what happens
Wow you're right... stupid mistake on my part haha, I'll get right back to you after I try it again.
EDIT: Yup that did the trick. Not quite what I was looking for but cool anyways. Thanks!
Now is there anyway to remove the 3 dot overflow bar since my menu key still works lol

Can you post a screenshot? I'm not sure which you mean (3 dot menu or nav bar). Enabling the nav bar is just an easy way to get both a multitask button and the virtual menu button in an app's action bar. I'm not sure about just getting the action bar menu button, but if you don't figure it out it is a setting in cm10/10.1
Its not a big deal since I think it only applies in the settings menu, but yeah I would love to have cm 10 haha

Today, April 12th, 2013, Facebook Home was released into the play store for public use on a select few devices. However, many people are skeptical are wondering if this is going to be a worthwhile app to use to replace their home screen, and I’ll let you know right now.
The Good
- Interface: When scrolling through the pages and different pictures, the experience you get while using it is very good. If you’re looking for buttery smooth performance, this may be for you
- Chat Heads: Chat Heads are little bubbles that pop up whenever you receive a message (or SMS assuming you set it up in settings) through your Messenger app. You can move it all around your screen and they pop up no matter what screen you’re in. You can stack your messages together, or throw them all away. As well when you do click on the chat head, it comes up in a nice little pop up so you don’t have to leave the app you’re in. And of course, if you’re into emojis, facebook has most of them and they will pop up on your friends iPhone or your normal GO SMS/SMS app that also has the emoji codec.
The Bad
- No Dedicated Camera Button: You would think with Facebook relying very heavily on pictures it’d have a dedicated camera button in the corner of the screen or something, but no. You actually have to swipe up, go into apps, swipe right, then scroll and find the camera button and move it into your shortcuts. Kind of an annoying and unnecessary hassle.
- Better Search: So far, Facebook Home makes you have to keep scrolling and scrolling an endless amount of times until you may find content you are actually interested in. To find your friends you must go into the actually Facebook app itself to view specific people if you can find them on Facebook Home.
- More Features: I’m not too huge of a Facebook user. I reply more on Twitter, Google +, and Instagram. While the first two social networks are understandable not to have in Facebook Home, it’d be nice (since Facebook bought out Instagram) if you could make Facebook Home show your Instagram feed instead of your Facebook feed after going into the settings.
- Support: If you watched the event, Mark Zuckerberg mentioned he wanted this to be something everyone, on any phone, can use. But at the moment it’s only supported on the Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3, HTC One, One X, or One X +.
Final Verdict
While Facebook Home does a couple things right, it really needs to work on things still. At the moment, it’s more a beta than anything else. Hopefully in the coming months when Facebook does its scheduled updates, it’ll add more functionality and phone support so more people can actually use it. If you're really big on Facebook this is gonna be fore you. If you use Facebook to connect with a few people and the rest is a bunch of people you don't really care about then at the moment I'd probably steer towards sticking stock or using something like Nova or Action launcher Pro.
I tried this today.... i honestly felt it was a joke. That's my personal opinion. :/

What I mean by liking the interface, I mean the pictures and quality look quite nice. However, navigating through it.. not so pleasant an experience when getting to your apps, settings, into facebooks app itself, etc.

It didn't work for me right away either. Make sure you messenger is updated first of all (mine wasn't), but even after I did that it still didn't work. I reset my phone though and it seemed to work (make sure Chat Heads are enabled in the Messenger settings as well).

Its not working 100%. The only time you can get the browser to float is when watching a youtube video threw the browser

Thanks for this! Will definitely be giving this a try when I get home from work.
Download done. Time to flash woo hoo
So far so good.
Edit; quick update report. For starters
Keyboard does not have swipe capabilities. (Tried google keyboard but will not allow any other keyboards to load)
Cannot get voice typing to stay ticked.
Could not get other languages to check off for downloads even though they show in settings.
Button row led lights do not work will not hold check in settings (after reboot started working correctly)
Request:
Is it possible in the dialer keypad instead of the bottom left button accessing voice mail can it be made to go to messaging. (holding 1 goes to VM why would we need 2 ways to go to VM :silly: )?

DL the Google keyboard from the market if you want to swype.
The rest works for new fine. Did you a fresh install?
I'll look into it eventually

Yes, awesome! The only thing I would want to change is the pull down. If I wanted the stock grey pull down without qslide, what can I do?

I plan on making an add on that removes qslide as I know it's not for everyone.
The black status bar is just a couple pngs inside the apk that where changed. You can change them yourself. Essentially an apk is a zip file. I recommend using 7zip and explore the apk. The images are in /res/drawaple-xhdpi. I get you the names of those images 2moro or create a metamorph

The OP says to change lock screen wallpaper just open gallery and set as then select lock screen wall paper. Not really an issue but a bug to fix none the less. 2 camera apps are because one is stock LG and one is 4.2 ASOP. So you can use whatever you prefer. Great rom

@MysteryEmotionz -it's running really well, great job. I'm just getting used to stock again, haven't used it in many months.

Been looking forward to trying out another stock ROM. Loved your stock based kernel but not being able to switch between LTE and HSPA was a deal breaker for me lol. Can't wait to try this out! Great job as always, ME.

Yes i plan on fixing the lock screen wallpaper force close. To me that's just something minor since i use personal pictures ( nothing like seeing my old lady butass naked everytime i turn on my phone ). I even thought about just removing the option from the lock screen
Settings.
The 2nd camera is from 4.3 n has working photosphere that so many wanted. The problem for me is the 4.3 camera is missing hrd witch I use allot. So I kept the stock camera.

Now you can switch between the 2. Eventually I want to add a toggle to the notification area. The ROM is 90% optimized. There is not much more I can do for performance. I'm working on the last 10% ( PNG optimize every apk ) before adding more features n this fives you guys a chance to find bugs for me to fix.

Is it possible for you to add "WCDMA/LTE Auto" and "LTE only" to preferred networks? I hate having to manually switch back from GSM all the time to LTE or WCDMA.

So you don't want to use gsm at all? That doesn't make sense. "Gsm/wcdma/LTE" will have better reception. For example: I only get gsm inside my house. By disabling gsm I would have no service. Outside I get hspa+ n if I travel down the road I get LTE. My phone grabs what it can. Now the people that don't get LTE at all would want to use gsm/wcdma so the phone stops looking for an LTE connection in return should help with battery. LTE is to spotty for LTE only and LTE is only used for data and switches to wcdma or gsm for voice. So LTE only would disable the ability to make n receive phone calls.

Menu button?

On my G2 I had a menu soft button at the bottom of the screen. On this phone, I don't see any way to add that button. I use Enhanced Email for my exchange email, and I can't do anything without that button. Any ideas?

Dedicated menu button?
Is there any way to flip the long touch/short touch behavior here, or (even better) add a dedicated home touch button for the menu? I use the menu button way more than "recent".

If you have t-mobile device and rooted, xpose such as gravity or tweakbox will do that

Awesome. Do you have a specific recommendation about which one to use?
Note: for people in the future, this looks like a good place to go for instructions on how to add Xposed.
