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.

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 guys, long time no modding Recently since the Droid Ultra announced and the peculiarities about the buttons setup, i got an idea about placing the Menu button as Recent Apps button like in Droid Ultra. But what about legacy apps you say? don't worry, just like Droid Ultra, just long press it and release, then additional hidden setting will come up. If your apps are 4.0 and up, the Overflow button will be added in the Title Bar so no need to long press to reach the menu.

Still looking for better long press behavior though, should be popping up the menu while pressing instead of when the button got released.
FAQ:
Q: Which ROM is compatible?
A: 982.124.14 ROM of RAZR JB. Au or Eu version etc is compatible.
Q: Why not the Search button on our RAZR?
A: Because the code is too complex and with additional Google Search functionality, too much to be edited. Better yet, i intended to publish this mod as tutorial (once the long press behavior is fixed) And i don't really want to remove the Google Now experience altogether by just remapping the key, so i chose the menu button.
Version History:
1.0
- Release
1.2
- Added Second Haptic Feedback when long press the menu button.
- Remove Long Press event on Home
Trying now. Running Dirty unicorns with JBX kernel. Post results if you wish...

Too risky. Sorry...I will just remap the hardware keys using my rom. But thanks for the mod and the idea. Lol.
New version has been added, which added a second haptic feedback after long press. Trying to make the menus out while pressing but it doesn't work quite well.
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?
Hey guys, got a quick question. I have a Leagoo M8 which uses softkeys for navigation. Now normally this is OK, but for some crazy reason Leagoo decided that it would be a great idea to completely change their actions. Currently they have the following actions:
Tap Recents button = Menu
Long Press Recents button = Search
Long Press Home button = Recents
Typically softkeys have the following actions:
Tap Recents button = Recents
Long Press Recents button = Nothing, or Menu
Long Press Home button = Assistant
As someone who has used nexus and other devices in the past, this behaviour is really annoying. I don't want to have to reply on Xposed or Root as there are apps which I want to run that do not allow root, so I'd like to change this on a ROM level.
The ROM I am using is a debloated stock Android 6.0 ROM which is mostly stock Android, which is available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/6-0-lazy-s-debloated-rom-leagoo-m8-t3574816
I found this thread that explains how to change the look and feel of softkeys, but am I right in saying that this doesn't apply to changing button actions? A long time ago I remember that there used to be some XML files that could be edited which changed various button actions, but that would have been for Android 4.4, and I'm not sure how much different Android 6.0 is. If anyone would be able to point me in the right direction that would be super appreciated :good:

Ah, interesting. I've tried editing the config files with a text editor in the past and never had too much success, but something worth trying :good:
Alright, quick update. I updated Generic.kl but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I think it is only for physical keyboards, whist the Leagoo has softkeys. Any other ideas?
Has anyone been able to get advanced reboot menu in gravity box to work?
I have it activated, but get the standard reboot menu when long pressing power button.
Unlocked, rooted, running 7.1.
That feature only works on ROMs that use the standard default power off menu. The stock ROM for the V30 already uses LG's customizable poweroff menu so you can't mod it with Gravity. Their are a few other things that don't work on Gravity, some of which cause the phone to become very unstable. I believe their was a thread on it somewhere in the dev section.
