Hey guys-
This mod (flashable in recovery) will remap your recent apps button to a menu button and remove the on-screen 3 dot menu. Most people prefer this.
Unfortunately, I haven't had time to edit your android.policy.jar yet so you won't be able to longpress anything for recent apps menu.
So basically you lose access to the recent apps menu, but this gets rid of the 3-dot on-screen menu button and makes your recent app hardware button a menu button. In the future, this limitation will be fixed.
To revert, flash the UNDO.zip
Think we could flash one from the Evo 4g LTE? Or is the .Jar file different.
jar is probably different.
Lovin this one Con, great job.
This 3 button remap is key...I'm playing around flashing different test builds and this damn mod should be factory.
I'm using Nova Launcher, which has the option to use gestures for accessing recent apps. If I install this 3 Button Remap mod, my recent apps softkey will act as a menu button, but will the gesture I've set for accessing recent apps work as designed or will it also be remapped and act as a menu button?

Probably. It won't break recent apps. If there is something else that can trigger it, it will still work. It just disables your ability to get into it via hardware buttons.

Sweet, thanks. I'm gonna root and install this mod tonight... I'll post a definitive answer in case anyone else wants to know.
I forgot to include an Undo.zp
I will make that shortly.

Just installed the 3 button mod... all is well. In Nova Launcher, the gesture to bring up recent apps still works. But this only applies to when you're on your home screen.For viewing recent apps while you're in an app, I've set the menu button (formerly recent apps button), the open recent apps with a long press.
Love this mod.
Any chance you can create a mod like this to remap recent apps to search?

Has there been any more development made on this? I really want to remap the buttons, but I don't want to lose my Recent Apps either.

I'm using ukb lte rom. Recent apps button is now "settings". And long pressing the home button brings up "recent apps". Its perfect, I think.

I'm not really interested in flashing a new ROM right now, as I'm pretty happy with Sense as it is. Also, I'm not sure what use Settings is like that. I'd rather have the Recent Apps button do Menu.

UKB is a Sense ROM and it has the recent apps button as the menu. Plus it has a bunch of other features stock does not come with.

essentially the difference between ukb and stock sense is
advanced power menu (reboot recovery, hboot, hot boot)
remove htc linkify (app associations)
button remapping (back button is same, but long press home key is recent apps, and recent apps button is a menu key)
edit: and extended quick settings of course
theres a ton of other stuff but id consider those the main differences
I've got a Nexus style rom on my Evo LTE. There's no 3-dots menu button showing up in apps and long pressing the recent apps button doesn't do it either. I've seen the mod to change the recent apps button to menu and long press home to get recent apps, but I still prefer to have the recent apps button like it was. Any ideas?
Hello. First, you should be more specific about which Rom you're running. Second, most custom AOSP roms have the ability to remap the hardware buttons on the settings menu. You can set it to open recents on short press and open menu with long press.

Ah just what I was looking for, will look that up once my phone boots :good:
Xposed Framework > Xposed Additions
Ok, I already had the Xposed Framework installed and after I identified the Xposed Additions module, remapping the keys worked great.
For reference
Device: HTC EVO 4G LTE (Jewel)
ROM: InsertCoin Sense 6 | 3.0.7 | 5.11.401.10
Kernel: Liberty-Jet-V1 3.4.10
Hey Folks,
I wanted to know if anyone has a tipp for an xframework module wich brings the Menu-Button how it was before 4.4.2.
I only find modules wich forces the menu button to have the app swich function...
Cheers!
Push.

"Xposed Additions" will give you the ability to remap every key (even softkeys) as you like

Xposed app called neo power menu has worked for me. You can customize colors, backgrounds etc with it.

Neopower works very well.
Thanks for your reply!
Is there any xposed module or other way to just get Airplane Mode back onto the stock power menu rather than replacing it entirely using Neopower?

Yes!
The module name is Advanced Power Menu+ (APM+)
It's available in playstore.
Also Gravity box has some options to extend the power menu.
Hi, does someone of you know how to map google pay to the power button. On my last phone i just had to press the power button twice and my card was visible
The 1 IV starts the camera when i do this, which is redundant in my opinion because we have a dedicated camera button.
Would appreciate the help

Thank you for your answer, so there is no built-in way to do it? I have to root and install this (with optional xposed module)?

Yep that's the only way. But you can use it without xposed. Using Accessibility
