Hello!
I've recently installed the AOKP ROM!
Now, I want to change my hardware-buttons behavior to:
"Menu"-button activates the "recent-apps"/"multitasking".
Get the "3-dot" button in the right corner.
Now there's a temporarily way to get the "3-dot" button. Activate "Navigation Bar", then deactivate it. But the "3-dot" button dissapers when I reboot the phone!
So do you guys/gals have any solution? I've googled it the whole afternoon without any results!

Hi all,
My softkeys don't work long time ago so I have found solutions to:
- Use the multimedia player: You can remap the buttons like play, next...
- I have redesigned home screen to put the sms on the top.
- Use the red button to lock the phone
- Use the power button to change the sound profiles.
But I don't know how to unlock the phone using another keys instead the left softkey. Anybody know how to do this?
Best regards,
I have installed the Precision Theme on top of my phone running Perception ROM with SuckerPunch. Once this was done, the menu button changed the items it had on the home screen.
It has an Add button for widgits, wall paper button, search button and a notifications button, all of which are kind of useless. It does have a manage apps button, and the settings button which are alright.
Anyway, I guess what I want to know is how to customize this menu. I've done some searching and haven't found much. I did install launch pro, and it changes a couple of the buttons, but it still doesn't make the menu key that useful. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Cheers.
Hi, everyone
Recently I started using the Cover Lockscreen on my samsung S Advance which is a great alternative to the stock lockscreen. However I got this annoying behavior when waking up my phone with the home button because systematically I get back to the home screen and then losing my last app position.
After searching in the forum I found that other users (Note2 and S3) are reporting the same behavior about the home button when waking the phone up with a lockscreen. And I tried the next advised solution:
First with R/W root permission, one should open the file /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
Then inside the gpio-keys.kl the last line must be edited to change from "key 172 HOME WAKE" to "key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED"
In theory this should fix the problem but in fact on my S Advance it doesn't work. Then I wanted to ask if anyone has a better solution or any clue to solve this frustrating behavior.
At the moment my single solution is to deactivate the home button while the screen is off. This can be done if the last line in the gpio-keys.kl doesn't include the "HOME" word. This means that I can only wake my phone with the Power button which it is still not very ergonomic to my taste.
INFO: I'm using a stock Jelly Bean ROM 4.1.2 (XXLQE), the Co-core 8.2 Kernel and LightJB.
I hope you can help to figure out how to fix it.
Thanks in advance
SOLUTION: Xposed Additions Module
The fix can be done using the Xposed Additions Module.
Actually it's pretty easy:
-Install / Enable the Adittions Module inside Xposed Framework and Reboot.
-Open Xposed Additions and go to the last menu option "Buttons"
-Remap [HOME] and choose the condition "Screen Off / One click Action / Power". Voila! you're done.
I thoughtI I had to live forever with that issue. Thanks and all the credit to the developer.
Hi Everyone,
I am using HTC One (M7) unrooted that was recently upgraded to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 and I started noticing a black button with three white dots appearing on my screen when I enter certain apps. Tapping it would just toggle the settings menu in the app. Double tapping it wouldn't do anything. Press hold would enable me to move the button to anywhere I like on the screen.
I have no use for it since I have it set up from my Settings that I would open the settings menu by long pressing my Home button. Does anyone also know of this, and if so, how do I remove it? I attached a screen shot for your reference (look at top right corner). Thanks in advance!
I'm interested in finding a solution to this too. No luck in the default.xml, at least for search terms "overflow" and "menu". MaximusHD 52.0, 5.0.2
Confirming this is really annoying & I'd like to know if there is a way to get rid of it?
Hi, I've got the same with galaxy s6 edge and android 5.0.2
It seems that only apps without direct implementation of the android three dots menu have this problem.
Could somebody help please ?
floating button
Same here. Irritating whilst using Mobo Player
The only way you are gonna get rid of it is to hide it in the app itself. With less and less phone with buttons the more you will see this.
Solution
I found myself frustrated at this myself today.
The solution is to go to Settings > Display > Buttons > Home and change "press and hold" from Google Now to Menu.
That removes the button from all apps, and you can just hold the home button to access the menu for those apps that need it.
Hello yours,
some apps displaying the menu key into the navigation bar. Some tweaking tools also offers an option to show these menu key generally. So far, so good. But when I touch on these button, the recent panel will be opened - every time. A restart changes nothing... I'm currently on V07.
Has anyone a solution for this?
On a german forum (android-hilfe.de) I found the same issue posted from another user, but these thread is still without any answers.
Many thanks in advance
Dan
It must be a bug in the official rom.
I use a tool called "menu button" in google play, it works well, if correctly configured (I do not show any menu, but I use the menu button in the notification bar of this app).
Waiting for a correction too.
