Way to change power button gesture / shortcut? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to remap a double press of the power button to open an app. I have tried powy but the app chrashes and I don't think you can remap the actions to a specific app so it doesn't work for me. If anybody has found a similar app or an xposed module that does this please reply.

[Q] When double pressing the home button - open other app (not vilingo) how?

Hey guys, I bought an app called "Cyberon Voice Speed Dialer". I would like the double pressing on the home button to launch that specific app.
Currently double pressing launches the Vilingo / Google speak app which is no use to me at all.
I hope this is possible,
Thanks!

HELP??? Force In App Overflow Menu to Appear

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

[Q] Remapping capacitive keys

Trying to remap the long press on the menu button on my S5 by editing the .kl files.
Managed to get single press to open menu, but long press refuses to do anything other than open first the google search, then samsung's search apps.
EDIT: Partially solved, nova launcher was set to open search, now it only opens the samsung one. Still doesnt open recent apps.
Xposed framework button remapper manages to do it, so I know it's possible, but there's no hapatic feedback
All suggestions welcome!

remap camera button to app on rooted Z2 (cyanogenmod)

A search on this has revealed using an xposed module to do this but I'm wondering if it's possible to edit the generic.kl key map file to launch a different camera app? I've had a scan through the file but can't figure out which key it is nor how I would launch an app.

Question long power button press for flashlight.

Hey, has anyone noticed you can a double press on the power button turn on the flashlight, but for the long press that option isn't there?
Is there a way around that? maybe a flashlight app that can work as a shortcut? tried a few but still no luck.
also can someone confirm if the android 13 beta has the same problem?
Yeah I just use a flashlight toggle app (Icon Torch - Flashlight), I'm sure any other toggle app would work too.
thank you!
Use Flar2's Button Mapper
