On previous versions of the CM roms and on MIUI you could swap the back and menu/recent app buttons to mimic the input you're most familiar with back-home-recent (nexus/pixel style) or recent-home-back (Samsung style).
Coming from nexus and AOSP based devices you would be more familiar with the order being BACK ----- HOME ----- RECENT APPS
You can generally find swap buttons from
Settings>Buttons>Swap buttons
It currently isn't available in the LineageOS 14.1 ROM by @xiaobai112220
To swap the button config you would have to open and edit System/usr/keylayout/synaptics_dsx.kl and set it as the following
Code:
key 139 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 APP_SWITCH VIRTUAL
key 143 WAKEUP
To solve this mess, I've created two flashable zip files.
If you want your left button for navigating back and right button for recent (Nexus/Pixel style)
Flash "Swap Buttons Back Home Recent.zip" in your recovery
This will be your order.
BACK-----HOME-----RECENT
If you want your left button for recent and right button for navigating back (Samsung style)
Flash "Swap Buttons Recent Home Back.zip" in your recovery
This will be your order.
RECENT-----HOME-----BACK

This will work on most of the LineageOS based ROMs, if it doesn't let me know..
Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! A million times, thank you!
Now, if good guy @xiaobai112220 would put this (or even better, the "Settings->Buttons->Swap buttons" option that you described) in the Lineage 14.1 Capricorn build, that'd be super duper. Until then, this fixes my OCD.
Thanks again! :good: :good: :good:
thanks mate,perfectly working ...
Thanks, much appreciated.
Would this work with changing the capacitive buttons when using MIUI? I'm guessing not.

Hi,
doesn't it have to be
Code:
key 139 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 MENU VIRTUAL
key 143 WAKEUP
just to switch the buttons?
Otherwise the menu key can't be configured in the settings.
That was the case on my phone.
I attached a modified file which did the job for me.

I am on the Oneplus 3T and I have the same issue. Is there a flashable zip to do the same for a oneplus 3T?
Three days ago I flashed Swap Buttons *.zip* file from @ru1dev and it worked perfectly fine. Yesterday somehow I encrypted my phone while flashing a new version of Lineage. So I decrypted my phone again and in the process my phone got wiped completely. Funny thing though, swap buttons remained intact. Great work @ru1dev, thanks a lot. :good:
Want to change into : recent-home-back with zip file.... clear dalvik/cache - install zip with twrp - clear dalvik/cache- reboot ....... no Menu to swap buttons in settings
Im on hexa rom from 17.may.....any idea ?!?
Didn't work for me either, you can do it manually by editing the file mention in the OP and swaping the codes for back and recent. That worked for me after a reboot
yipieee...in the new Hexa Build 5/23 it works with flashing the zip from post 1....
great...and big Thanks
help me
Hi I got swap button in setting but it doesn't turn on anyway
I really want my back button in the right side
Flash file from recovery but doesn't work
Crdroid last version lineage based
Yeah this isnt working on Aicp 12.1....even with flashing with twrp
IT's really useful,but it can be changed in the setting.
We can input "swap buttons" in the Search Bar,and we can find it which is available.
How can i make it work in Los 15.1?

After flashing the recent-home-back my button still the same back-home-recent , how to change the code?

AOKP JB Rom with Stock ICS Kernel
The one on rombot is a couple of days old so I have updated with one I build on 10/16.
Built from Hashcode and DHackers source. Give thanks to them!
Read this thread on how to install and thank Hashcode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886935

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mhmmrku5e4x8boj/hbd5BE-Nae or here: http://d-h.st/users/jsnweitzel
Use safestrap 3.05
Android 4.1.2
Working Camera now, no flash though.
As usually doing this stuff can break your device.
Thanks for this! Just finished DLing. Going to back up and test it out.
russia. megafon. No connection to the Internet. To create APN does not change anything.
hows the battery life?
For some reason every time I download the ROM then try to either install it safe-side on Safestrap 2.11 it won't open. I also notice that I'm unable to open the archive on my computer as thought the file is corrupt?
I just updated the op with a build I did this morning.
hi, i just flashed this ROM but i noticed my pictures from my SD card isn't showing up in my gallery, I tried googling it and its supposed to be a known issue for jellybean, i tried a few different things but nothing worked so now i'm using Quickpic.
but is there a way to connect the Quickpic app to the camera app or a way for the stock gallery app to rescan for all the pictures?
I don't seem to be having any trouble with reading my pics from the external sdcard.
The keyboard lights don't come on after the phone wakes up.

Not sure the ro.ril settings were absolutely needed. But no APNs showed up until I changed the world mode settings.
Also something is wrong with your keymap. The capslock and OK buttons don't do anything in Connectbot. OK should be DPAD Enter. CapsLock could be ALT, since it's not really needed for itself. (Shift-Shift is already caps lock after all.)
I don't think the caps lock and ok key work in any of the jb roms. You can double click the shift key for all caps. Anyone have them working?
Never mind the build.prop settings, they may be a red herring. It looks like every other reboot, data fails because the RIL is unable to read the IMSI because the SIM card isn't ready yet when it tries.
I've also found that I can successfully reset the RIL and get data working by going into Airplane mode, then in a root shell kill the existing rild, which forces it to restart. After it restarts toggle back out of Airplane mode and data is working.
Back to keymaps - also the arrow keys are all set to the wrong directions. I've manually edited my omap4-keypad.kl file to fix these issues.

After I straightened out the arrow keys, the OK key started working as usual in Connectbot. It must have been looking for a particular layout and giving up when it didn't see what it expected.
I've found that setting CapsLock to Alt doesn't actually do anything useful, probably because nothing in the Keymaps file has anything defined for its Alt position.
Oh, and the CapsLock key wasn't working because the file had "CAPS" but the correct keyword is "CAPS_LOCK" - so it's working for that on mine now.
The SYM key used to bring up a dialog box with special characters, now it just brings up a dialog to select Input Method. That appears to be a JB-specific thing. Makes it pretty useless.

do you know about xposed
please google and download xposed installer last vesion 2.6.1
you can turn off back and home key vibration
do it step by step
1. download and install "xposed installer"
2.go to tab framework chosse "install/update" then reboot your phone by xpsoed option
2. download Gravity Box from xposed installer
3. active gravity box form tab modules of xposed installer
4. reboot your phone
5. open Gravity Box
6.go to Navigation keys actions (have a popup warning about enable navigation keys just hit ok nvm it fin. and please do not active Navigation key on Nokia X2 it have error. i have active that already @@)
7.to turn off vibration chosse Virtuan key vibration patten and type "," hit ok
8. know vibration is off ^^
MORE THAN THAT
not only help you turn off vibration, you also can change funtion of back and menu key
with back key you can change funtion by long-press and double tab
home key only long-press work
another option to chose that is "Xposed addtions"
install Xposed addtions vertion 2.3.8 (only this vertion work on NOKIA X2)
u can change any key funtion
like home key, volume up, volume down and power button( back key not work)
u can bring back power menu like any normal android phone by power long-press but becarefull do not change press option off power button and double tab work fine.
and please remeber do not setup one key with both app GravityBox and Xposed addtions. Ex: you can set funtion of Back key by GravityBox and Home key by xposed addtions.
:laugh: Thanks so much,
But to used this app, my device have to be root, right ?

is there a mod for CM12 5.0.2 on screen buttons? Please the home button is dead so I need on screen buttons and plus there look really cool lol
edit your /system/build.prop (use CM file manager), and add this line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
that's it, reboot and you will have on-screen "navigation bar".

You need to use a text editor that supports root access mode.
Use CM's built-in File Manager and its editor. To enable root access, go to Settings -> General Settings -> Access Mode, and pick something other than "safe".

To disable hardware button backlight, Settings -> Buttons -> Backlight.
There you can also set Recents Button -> both long and short press -> no action
The only thing not possible to disable currently is the back button.

2. Launch the Build Prop Editor App
3. If Prompted, Let the Application Have Root Access via SuperSU
4. Tap the Pencil Icon at the Bottom(or the 3-dot menu at the top right and then tap on edit)
5. Scroll All the Way Down to the Bottom of the Build.Prop File
6. Create a New Line at the End of the File
7. Then Type or Paste the Following Text. . .
8. " qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1 "
9. Then Press the Save/Disk Icon at the Top Right

-Swipe Navigation
-GMD GestureContol Lite

No it does not. I'm also looking for an alternate method. Had it running for awhile on Nougat official release, but if I accidentally long-pressed on any of my Swipe Navigation attempts, it would stop working and I'd be stuck in whatever app I was using. Having to shut down and reboot to get home is not ideal.

This methode use to work on my phone prior of Android O. But it completely break my system if when I tried on O DP1-2-3. It wont let me rebooting at all, goes directly in recovery and have to reflash system. I know the thread is concerning N and not O but wondering if anyone would have advise
Is there any other way of removing the nav bar ? I tried substratum to set the size to 0 but that won't work either
You can use a custom ROM, like Pure Nexus.

Immersive mode is one way of doing it but I personally hate it. Swiping the bottom of the screen will bring back the nav bar. When hidden the keyboard won't show. Plus it still doesn't give you back the screenestate, it is simply replaced with a black bar.
Custom ROM like Pure Nexus have the option because they are running N. The build prop mod use to work prior of O. Hope there will be a way of getting rid of that nav bar ! #givemebackpie
