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?

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.
Just wanted to share this app. It's useful for editing the Samsung default recent, home button and back buttons. If can also be useful to use gestures as well have a look. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
Does it use a lot of battery
It has problem with the lockscreen timeout
Hi I recently upgraded my phone (liquid smooth KK) to Marshmallow (Resurrection Remix® ).
Everything is OK except some features missing, and I really want them back !!
Pie Control: AFAIK, this has been removed from CM11? Now using LMT, works OK. but I cannot directly use it on lock screen like what Pie control can. Tried that Pie control app on play store. Not as good as both. Also with LMT, I cannot add flash, kill app..etc button.
Hardware button configuration: Resurrection Remix Rom has "Button Controller" but not given the ability to configure back button, and very limit actions with other buttons.
What I used to do is set "long press back button to kill app" and "long press home button to switch silent, ring".
I know that Gravitybox seems to have those modules, but I cannot get it start, just got "Gravitybox system framework not responding". I am pretty sure I downloaded the right version.
So I am here to ask has anyone can use Gravitybox on I9305 with Marshmallow ROMs?
Hello,
Happy New Year!
I have an LG V20 (H918), bootloader unlocked, rooted, with a modified stock rom by Tilde88 based on Android 7.0.
I want to add and/or enable a menu/configuration button to the Nougat NavBar that previous android versions used to have.
Ever since I had an android phone I've had a button which would make the menu/configuration options appear of every app. For example: I just switched to the LG V20 from an LG G4, the G4 had the navbar where if you long-pressed the square button on the right side it would make the menu/configuration options appear in the app you are currently on. But now in Nougat that same square button brings up Multi-window instead of the menu/configuration options.
Is there any way to add a button to the NavBar that would bring up the menu/configuration options? or substitute multi-window for the menu/configuration option?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi dears,
I would share here our analysis/solution about the way to remap the Google Assistant button with other features... e.g. the camera.
Thanks for your collaboration.
I like the double tap for Lens. I like the hold down for voice. I wish the single tap would take you to Google Discover feed though. Seems like tapping it and holding it down pretty much do the same thing.
I'd like to disable it altogether because my big hands keep activating it.
Or maybe a Double-Tap to activate it (or any other programmed App).
Thanks, I'll be watching closely.
Disable Google Assistant key ALL MODELS
Here is where disable the Google Assistant key
I agree. I like the HOLD to open assistant. I love the double tap to LENS. I ****ing hate single press to open assistant. I constantly hit it on accident.
Disabled
I had it disabled from the start. It's an insult (as always) to force functions on you without options. I never use assistant and never will. It's a simple thing for Lg and/or Google to give us plenty of options, in this case, to remap to anything we like.

Someone started digging in to this on the G7... Let's keep an eye on it!

Important Note!
It is possible to change the assistant button to launch the Amazon Alexa app.
So maybe it would be possible to get a custom app to show up in the selecton menu.
(See attached screenshots, they're german though.)
Sadly enough,

Alright... I should have tried that before pointing it out... In fact if you set it to Alexa, hitting the Assistant Button will prompt you to change it back to Google Assistant instead of either launching Alexa or just bringing up Google Assistant... Which basically makes the button completely pointless...
Has there ever been a more pointless hardware button than the 'Google Assistant' button?
Root/Xposed is possibly the solution.
Is it possible to remap the button by using Google Play Apps like this ones?
Button Mapper -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
Buttons remapper -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper

Maybe some LG product manager reads all this threads about us, wanting the "Google Assistant Button" to be remappable to any other app. But maybe not...
Please don´t just write here about your anger, but start doing something more. Help LG to see, that there is room for improvement.
It is possible to contact LG via an email form. If they got an email from everybody in all this threads - maybe they´ll start thinking about changing something.
And please keep in mind, that one customer complaining means many more (probably thousands) thinking the same thing.
I wrote to them and choosed "Product Operation" at the "Type of inquiry" field and asked how to change the button remapping. If you want to write to them too - here are the links to the feedback forms:

german -> https://www.lg.com/de/support/kontakt/chat-email/email

No!

PSA the pro version of Button Mapper now supports the LG Google Assistant button... not sure if you need root. I can confirm working great on stock rooted Pie with lots of options for the button functionality. It will cost you 5 bucks though...

Here's another solution to button remap...

Would love to remap it to play/pause for a music player. This is coming from someone who still uses mp3 players though.
