Ok ive remapped menu to APP_SWITCH and now recent apps appear when i press menu. But how do i force the overflow menu (three dots) to appear? I know the samsung apps are capable because if you add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop it shows the navigation bar and all app have a menu in them. But how can i make the menu appear without forcing the navigation bar?
I think i read something about changing "hasPermanentMenuKey" to return as false so that the system automatically display the overflow menus but im not sure how to do that or if thats even correct.
In summary: I want menus to appear in apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I remap the menu key to APP_SWITCH too, anyhow, without showing the emulated home/cancel button on screen via qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, the force overflow action menu button just do not appear. If able to trick the app to alway show the action menu button, the remap key may work good, just some app like Whatapps / Facebook / Twitter may not able to access the menu.
Also, looking at keylayout folder, the file Vendor_04e8_Product_7021.kl contain list per below, change of it do have any impact? I tested but it acted weird and no conclusion on this. I did tried to put the Key 704 from RECENTAPPS -> APPLICATION and it launch the voice search when long pressing home button.
Key 704 RECENTAPPS
Key 705 APPLICATION
Key 706 SIP_ON_OFF
Key 707 VOICESEARCH
Key 708 QPANEL_ON_OFF
Any key# to remap the long press of capacitive Menu key to other function? Or long pressing feature is control by software only??

Do you know by any chance how do you do this for kindle fire hd 7 7.3.1 I want to disable nav bar by using qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 but this will get rid of the action bar app Manu as well. This wouldn't be a problem but the LMT launcher app menu button won't work unless the action bar app menu is there. Please help
On my Galaxy Nexus, despite the fact that it has a menu button, I would get a menu key in certain apps like Gmail (bottom right) and Market (top right). It would be an additional three-dot button that was essentially menu access, like pressing the menu key.
However, I notice on my SGS3 that these apps and others lack this additional menu button. Is there a way to turn it on/enable it? Like...tell the phone, "Hey, I know you have a menu button, but if the app supports it turn its menu button on too"?
Thanks in advance!
Hi.
We can use the menu button if we keep presing recent apps button, so....
why need to see the menu in top of the screen in apps?
I hate this, a normal phone with hardware menu button doesnt show this menu on apps, is there any way to hide this from all apps?
(I have root access)
Thanks
Device: Oneplus X
SW: Oxygen 2.1.3-X
Android: 5.1.1
Firefox: v43
Settings: HW (capacitive)-buttons: enabled
As long as the HW-buttons are enabled in Firefox the menu-button (3 dots) does not show up. As soon as the the on-screen buttons are enabled (and firefox restarted) the menu button shows up, but of course some screen space gets lost ;(.
In another forum a workaround was described that does not work for me either: it should be possible in button-settings to assign "Menu open/close" to a long press or double click action on one of the HW-buttons. Unfortunately I do not have the option "Menu open/close" to choose (german UI).
Any advice?
I had the same problem. Try holding the recents button for more than 1 second.
Thx, according to a thread on oneplus that woud have been working, if I had not changed the button assignment in settings before. It's a bug un Oxygen unfortunately.
Hello Guys......if you want to have system UI activated after Android O update ...
a. press and hold “settings symbol” in notification pull down.
b. After some seconds of holding the settings symbol, go to settings menu and under systems menu you can find a new menu called ” system UI tuner.
c. Enjoy the tweaks....
2. PIC IN PIC MODE
a. Go to system UI tuner and to Navigation bar menu
b. In Navigation bar menu, add an extra left or right button( dot, minus, plus or any) you like
c. select type of button as key code.
d. As you find a key code menu......fill that with key code 171.
e. Now you can see a new navigation key added. Play any YouTube video and press that newly added button.....you can see ur pic in pic video....have fun.
Are there any other key codes that do anything else?
I added back button on the right side by adding key code 4. find more from Google
