Hi,
Quick question since moving from the N3 to N4 it was pretty smooth transition. Except for the some irksome things like changing compactive menu button to recent apps. Is their an app that i can use to change it back to menu instead of recent apps?

long press the recent apps button and it acts like a menu button
other then that i am not sure, though it should be a feature you can change eventually and i believe the word you are looking for is capacitive buttons.

So on the Sense 4.2.2 ROMS, the home button works like this:
-Double Tap brings up recent apps
-Long Press brings up menu
-Swiping up brings up Google Now
So my question is this: Is it possible to bring this same functionality to the Google Edition Rom, or any other AOSP Rom for that matter?
And if so, can anyone help me down the right path?
THANKS!
I know this is a but old but bumping because I really want swipe up from home as google now on CM10.1:good:

there are many software keys customisations on aosp roms for long and shortpress, but I think there is no double tap feature...is the only thing missing to set up keys like you want...
can't you map keys in other way? i think that swiping up for gnow is impossible on aosp

I can and have but it's less intuitive than that sense way maybe just because I got used to that first but it did seem to work better, holding down menu for google now is not great especially since menu is already a bit jumpy with not actually being a real button
Hey all I was wondering if there was an app where we can double tap the home button and it brings the top half of the screen down so that way we can reach buttons easier. The iPhone six has this feature and I think it would come in handy on all big phones like the iPhone six.
Sometimes when your trying to use the phone one handed you just can't reach the hamburger button on the Play Store.
Nothing major but I'm sure it'll be something that people would use.

Maybe for Xposed once it's released for ART
I know something better. Pie
Just need one to control the hamburger.
It's been working perfectly this whole week with the menu button.

I've tried Pie and I just don't like it. This is why Android should have never abandoned the Menu button.

Long pressing the recent apps is the new menu button.

It works on my G3 (just tested it) but I haven't felt a need to use the menu button in along time.

Is it possible to add a multitasking button to the navigation bar without flashing a custom ROM?
I am on a XT1097 rooted stock Lollipop.
Is the square button not multitasking? All the way to the right like all stock android versions?

Hmm.. yeah, maybe I did not explain myself correctly.
I meant a button to go back and forth between two apps.
Let's say you are on a hangouts session and editing a drive doc. Someone says something interesting and you want to take notes and quickly get back to the hangout session.
I had this button when using CyanogenMOD on my Nexus 5, but now I don't know how to do it on rooted lollipop stock.
Ah. On stock android, it's only the recent apps button that I know if. Switching between two apps with one touch sounds like a custom thing.

Yes, a thing I want to customize
I recently started using tiny apps app. It's got a floating app drawer that can hide on the side so you don't have to go back to the home screen. Other than that, I believe there are numerous apps that will give you an app drawer with a swipe from the left side of the screen.

I suddenly feel like a total noob. I've just upgraded to stock lollipop.
I can't decide whether it is a bug after upgrade or whether I don't have a clue.
I cannot access recent apps. I've tried double tapping the home button, sliding up from the home button, (thought that was the Google Now shortcut) and neither seem to do anything. I really miss task switcher. Can someone tell me whether I'm doing anything wrong, or is there a bug in the stock rom?
Many thanks,
Can anyone just confirm that I should be switching between recent apps by double tapping the home physical button on stock lollipop?
Thanks

Yes double tap home takes you to the recent apps
Hey,
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but after the OneUI update I cant swipe down from top left to resize windows.
This was a really useful productivity feature when multitasking (especially at work).
you used to be able to enable "popup view" then you could swipe down from top left to "pop-out" windows but now the only way to do this is a long-winded long press on multiview window then long press again on the top of app then select pop-up view... its much less effective than just swiping down (also you need to follow this same process for each window you want to have floating...
Does anyone know how to get the older much better way of working again? - or has it gone for good?! :crying:
Cheers

It was already discussed a few times. It's removed, all the good multiwindow features that we had in nougat/oreo in galaxy phones are gone. The oneUI solution is close to the google stock one. No swipe from corner, no menu between two split screen apps, no fast way to split screen via holding recents or swipe/hold (but it fires google assistant for example), no hold card in recents for fast split or popout. Everything was removed and this is really bad for my productivity. Feature that was marketed, especially with the note 9 that is phone for productivity and multitasking, feature that samsung were praised for how much better is vs the other android makers solution - removed. Well, good job.
Wow, I had not realised all. Of that is now gone... Sadness!!

Wrong, if you mean split screen mode it still exists. On OneUi you gota open recent apps and then hold down on app icon to get a menu and from there you got split screen mode. Also popup window exists still aswell. Which can be found in same menu as split screen. Swipe from corner can be enabled again in settings on One UI

Read my post again, I never said those features are removed. We(I) were talking about the shortcuts that were fast and convenient. Simple two examples:
I am watching youtube, decides I want to also msg on viber. Before I can only hold recents - open viber and start typing without the video interruption. Right now you will go to recents, video WILL interrupt, you will press the icon on the card, select split screen, then viber, then you will press play and wait for the video to start. Second scenario is when you decide you want to switch two split screen apps place - there is no mid menu anymore, so you need to close/open them. pop-out is also a lot slower to do and with more steps. Generally it's 3-4 times slower to do the same now vs oreo and the funny thing is - they easily could had avoided that - popout from corner option in the advanced menu, swipe recents and hold for instant split screen (right now it's like that for google assistant - swipe and hold, never mistrigger it so it's good) and return of the mid menu between two split apps. Simple, but they removed it all. They even removed in the newer second base that was released after the first one a leftover for hold recents when navigation bar is on for instant split screen.
I am still expecting this option to be reenabled by samsung. It was seriously useful as hell and now i feel my phone is half broken

Have you tried Good Lock app with MultiStar module?
It brings back most multi window features.

Try Nice lock from xda:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
It's Good Lock for the places that can't get it from Galaxy store.
Everything you need is on first post, the launcher and modules...
Edit.
It doesn't bring back the hold down recent key for multiwindow though. You now have to have an active app running, tap on recent key, select and hold down the second app you want and slide it to top or bottom of screen to activate split screen.
