Navigation bar and recent apps button - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love my note 3 but I am not very fond of the button layout. is anybody aware of a way to enable a navigation bar similar to nexus devices? and if not, is there a way to remap the "menu" button to act as a recent apps button? I hate having to hold the home button to access the recent apps menu. I've searched many times and haven't been able to find anything. THANKS!

Xposed with gravity box will let you change the button layout. Navbar can be done but it's a pain in the butt.

really? the description for gravity box says to not use with interfaces such as touchwiz and sense.

It's just full of little tweaks like center clock and other status bar mods as well as other system tweaks.

It also has a button remapper. I remapped my menu and back long press to turn off screen and double press to pull down notification

great thank you. I remapped my menu button to double tap to open recent apps. wish I could do it single tap but this is definitely better than before

Xposed additions also works to remap buttons. That is what I use to remap menu to recent apps and long press menu to menu.

Hi, sorry to hijack this thread but since op using note three which uses omeled, won't the navigation bar cause screen burn in? Lol I'm fond with the navigation bar. Ya and just to say xposed addition allow remapping or what best is temasek rom also provide it

Swap recents and back key?

I'm used to the back key being on the right, is there a way to swap them? I tried gravitybox (an xposed module) and it did the trick but it made my back button disproportionately large compared to the others...

Help with soft keys.

Hey guys, I just downloaded the xposed module that changes the navigation keys to Android L style. I'm still using the stock LG ROM, and the menu button is really bugging me now. Anyone know any successful mods to change menu to multitask? Thanks!
Try gravity box in xposed or xblast

I'll give it a try, I tried g2xposed since someone said it works, and it did but not for the soft keys.
Gravitybox now has an option to theme device like ANDROID L and part of that is the navigation keys change like the newly released ANDROID L.
Like this?
I'll send the file, I don't think I used gravity box for mines since it's a nonroot mod. But...
If you want this on your home launcher, you'll have to disable the transparent navbar.
This will show in every app you use. I'll send the link. Hold up...

Right on man thanks. I've been rocking a zenyth soft keys theme from the G2. And for me the theme doesn't show on home screen with the zenyth. Haven't tried the "L" theme yet. But I don't use the soft keys much at all. I have them hide for every app I can since I use LMT launcher.

there must be a point in settings to activate overflowing menu button (or something similar) - search for it and disable it.
