[Q] Question about galaxy s with broken menu button - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey so i've broken my menu button after replacing my screen bezel. Is there anyway I can disable my stock messaging app without deleting it without using the menu button?
thanks

have you rooted your phone? because there is a root app which shows menu,home and back buttons onscreen, so you dont need to use buttons

Froyo screenshot does not work on xda app

So we know that you can do a native screenshot on froyo holding down back and then pressing home. Some apps work but not all apps do. For example this xda app if I were to hold down back, it would just pop back out to the main page and when I push the home button it would just go out to the home screen. Is that xda app or is that froyo?
I know that we can use external apps to get screen shots but I was just wondering if hold back and home not working on some apps is because those apps hasn't not been updated or is it just froyo?i guess the other thing could be my spaz fingers?

[Q] Ics nav buttons

Is there a way to insert ics navigation buttons? I'd like to do that because when i use spen i'd not have to switch to finger
Btw. They should make 'back and menu' buttons work with spen... at least 'home' does

You can do back by pressing the s-pen button and swiping left. Menu by pressing and swiping up, so you don't need ICS buttons.
Thx, didn't know about it

Home key remap

I was wondering if anyone has tried to remap the home button via the /system/usr/keylayout/ *.kl alteration method. Could be why home takes to only Amazon launcher.
Just a thought, to further launcher access. I did this on this phone to get rid of the sms button cause I use go sms, and the button launches stock messenging app only

I canned the stock softkeys. Using button savior pro now.

I too use button savior pro on all of my devices, I like it for the cam and volume and menu buttons on 4.0+ devices. But was wondering about the stock button bar if anyone has tried this method to bypass amazon's lockdown of the device.

[Q] Just got my One. What is black bar down sides of games?

I just installed a couple of games to try and they have a black bar on the side/bottom with 3 white dots in it. How do I get rid of it so I can fill the screen completely? I tried a search but not sure what the bar is called so got no results.
Also. How do I get the running apps up so I can swipe them away? If I long hold the home button I just get Google crap.
Thats the menu button. If youre rooted install the xposed mods and the back button enabler which means you can hold down back button for menu.
Please hit thanks button rather than saying it

Click to collapse
Double tap the home button!

[Q] Remap power button to camera button?

So a friend dropped his C5303 and the power button is now a little sticky.
Any way to turn the camera button into the power button?
Cheers
TIA
EDIT: This device isn't rooted and he'd have no idea how to!
Without rooting you are not able to remap buttons.
If he choose to root then he could use xposed frame work app and a module that would remap buttons or he can try using tasker....it is a paid app but has its own tasker help thread on xda.
