[Q] Hold menu button

If you hold menu button, you get search which is exactly the same as hitting the search button. That's duplicated functionality. Is there a way to reassign the hold menu button action?

How to remap the G-key to any app?

I saw threads remap the g-key to camera. But I want to map it to a volume app.
Thanks for the help.

Here is what i found;
1.Firstly, you need a rooted LG Optimus Black.
2.Find the file“TWL4030_Keypad.kl”, it’s in /system/usr/keylayout/
3.Backup the file, copy or rename.
4.Then open the “TWL4030_Keypad.kl”, scroll down to 3rd line from the bottom, it should be “key 95 GESTURE”.
5.If you want to use your phone’s “G Button” as camera button, change it to “key 95 CAMERA WAKE_DROPPED” (Once you launch the camera app, you can press the “G button” to take a picture immediately)
6.If you want to use use your phone’s “G Button as power/lock button, change it to “key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED”
7.Save the changes and reboot the device.

You get the trick right? With a little luck you can remap it to anything you want. You can write volume i guess... But volume has 2 options "+" and "-". So even if you manage to do it you will only be able to remap one of them. It's either "volume +" or "volume -" Since G is only one button.

Thanks a lot man!
The Volume i mean is just an ordinary app from the market called "volume toggle free". So an instruction about remapping the gkey to any app should work. How?

remapped it in case anyone is interested
think long press goes to S finder

Good work, but long press is menu, I use it all the time.

--drl

I used xposed additions module to remap it. Also mapped the volume keys, home and power buttons to change music, play/pause and activate torch respectively while I was at it.

Change long press Home button

Currently holding the square screen button does a screenshot, rather redundant with Volume Down+Power. Any way to change it something else?

Never mind, it's the recent apps button/ alt tab button, whatever you want to call it. It's not the home button.
It can be changed in >Gestures>Screen Tools> Screenshot>recent apps key

How to press on volume down and power buttons simontally?

Hey,
I run android 7.1 on note 8, and I want to execute with bxActions, a system screenshot with volume down and power buttons (the only screenshot without black screen is the system screenshot). What I did was event- AutoInput key - configuration: keys: volume down and power.
Key action: didn't know if to choose all or key down.
After that I need to create a task.
I do not know what next and even if what I did is wrong or not.
How can I create a task for long press the volume down and power buttons simontally for execute a system screenshot?
Thanks for the help.
