So I am looking to do one simple thing to the phone change the hardware buttons I have been an android user since the vibrant came out and have gotten use to how the buttons were laid out I am having a lot of trouble with the new layout the note 5 has. I am looking for a program like activator on iOS so I can remap them or if someone can give me a hand and remap them I just want the old-style back are to be able to customize them so when I hold the home button it doesn't bring up some Google search it brings up S Voice or even the android search functionality what it brings up now is some newsfeed with a Google search at the top I would also like it for the old back and menu buttons to be the same as well as the task manager assignment to be the same please help
There are a number of ways to do this. Are you rooted?

One way that's pretty simple and is (usually) effective, is to go to /system/usr/keylayout, open Generic.kl with a text editor, and just manually make your changes.
Make sure to backup the original file first, then in your text editor, look for MENU, APP_SWITCH, SEARCH, etc...
Say you want the key that currently opens recent apps to instead be a menu key, you'd find where APP_SWITCH is currently assigned, and replace it with MENU.
After you've made your changes, make sure the file's permissions are set to rw-r--r--, and reboot. I can't guarantee this will work, as I don't own this device, but it's always worked for me on other Samsung devices, and if not, well, that's why you backed up the original file.

Is tere a small program (kind of like vibra switc) that if you pres it, it just closes all programs like instead of going to start_settings_system_memory_close all. i'd like to assign it to a button. thanks
wktask has that built in its features. You can either do a gesture to do close all or just hold the top corner(where the x would be) to close all programs.
its free at http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
It's in my original TyTN II without any custom ROM.

Thanks. I already have the HTC manager but i want to ditch it because it's really slow. I just want a really simple 1 icon program that shuts off all current running programs. Basically i assignt it to the PTT button and it shuts it all off. I don't want a separate manager that does it, i already have that. Thanks
So there's no such app?
this is what you want, I along w/many others use it and it's great, the close all is just a small feature of what it does. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wktask-v1-1-7-3b.html
Thanks for the link, but not what i want. Just a simple close all program (few kb's) is what i'm looking for.
for me i once used "zapIT!"
but i guess since i´m running netcf3.5 it is not working anymore and freezing your device.
you can assinge it to a hardwarebutton also...

my fault. for me it also runs only ap by app. it makes possible to get the "x" on a hardware button.
even if it was annoucend in the thread i got it to close ALL apps. never did for me - yes you´re right.
but i like the function of assinging...
Ah i see. I use aebutton plus for what you are talking about. I have a long press of the Ok button to close the app. But i need one that stops all current running apps.
how do i get rid of that dumb smiley face..it for the ATT push to talk...

Thank You.....sorry 4 Caps
You want the easy way? Probaly I'd guess.
Download the trial version of SK Tools. Install to you SD Card or whever.
Launch SK Tools & select catagory Maintenance.
Go to services & click & hold on the PTT service.
Select delete, soft reset & PTT is gone FOREVER. SK Tools will creat a back up of the file for restoration if you later need this useless app.
Otherwise you can just kill the service & that will stop it temporarily until you next push the PTT button.
But deleting it frees up the button to be assigned to something useful.
Download nothing.... delete PTT from the registery. Use the PTT button for something useful. Never see that face again.
ahahah that's one ugly icon
what reg keys do i delete?
thanks alot guys! :
but now when i start it up it says PTT register failed...etc
ok i used sk tools...this is a nice program btw...where can i get a key for it?

Maybe you didn't delete the correct thing??? I dunno, I deleted and PTT stopped existing on my phone. Search for PTT remap and you will find the correct keys to delete.
PTT FindWindowFailed
PTT UNregister CLass Failed

Should work on ALL AOSP based Eclair roms
** ROOT IS REQUIRED **
This is a simple application that allows you to use the menu key to unlock the phone from the lockscreen rather than sliding the tab.
Simply run the app, enable the option, and then press menu to unlock the phone when you're on the lockscreen.
Tested on the Nexus One, Droid, and the G1. (All were running 5.0.x)
If you want to support me, scan the QR code and buy it from the market, but otherwise simply download the attached APK. I'm releasing it for free on XDA because this is my 'home' community and I'm loyal to my roots. (Please don't mirror the APK anywhere else)
I'm cross-posting this from the Nexus One subforum because of all the questions in #cyanogenmod about menu unlock
wait what? i can unlock from the lockscreen by pressing menu and i never installed this app......in fact i would prefer if it didnt
i too would prefer that it didnt unlock with the menu key. been trying to find a way to not have this happen.. interesting app though haha. i didnt know there was a phone that did not unlock with the menu key. from dream to magic and various roms this was the case.
This is for the latest CM5.0.7-test2 D/S where Menu to Unlock is disabled by default.

And my not But I want it back, so maybe I will install this apk.
I find this utility very usefull i have tried in 2.1 and 2.2 Froyo and works perfect - I hate the Slider screen to unlock - this is a real life saver.
I have a small request - is it possible to we can add an option in this app to assign the Camera button to pick up calls along with this - it would make it perfect !
Or if it can be made into a separate app like this - small and focused app.
I wouldnt mind paying for the option if needed !
Please?
Doesn't work in Gingerbread. Does this functionality depend on the kernel to support it ?
Anyone know if this can be changed through settings (or even an app of some kind)? I can't find anything on it.
I really miss this feature from my S5, especially since I don't ever use split screen which is the default for longpress on the S6
also searching for a solution

I agree. Sorry no answer... but I have seen several threads elsewhere on the topic and this is driving me nuts. From a user perspective: I was previously able to surf on my phone and bookmark / share via the menu key with only one hand. Now I can't because of the change in this key. This is not just a case of stubborness: one handed usability is important for many groups - from the physically compromised to late-night-feeding mothers. I hope a developer can offer a work around soon.

If you're willing to root, you can install LMT for one handed control, including menu button access and the thumb reach stretching pointer.

Let me explain my problem... I love to use on-screen soft key instead of capacitive keys on my Galaxy S6... But when I try to use Camera app the UI of the app (buttons) is under lapped to the Soft key (back, home, multitasking buttons)... So is there any way the UI of camera app can be fixed while using soft key on Galaxy S6...? Smart Manager app has same problem...
Please see attached screenshot...

Did you try clearing the camera app cache and data see if that helps? its not suppose to be like that in your screenshot.
As I mentioned in the the 'multidpi system app mod thread' where you also posted this question this is a result of the dirty multi-dpi fix... The apk has it's dimension values set to absolute pixels instead of dp... As a result it doesn't take into account the actual displayable view, but just stretches across the entire screen.
So this isn't going to work with the multidpi versions, an earlier mod where dp values where changed also didn't work so I have no idea how to fix this for now... Only solution if you wish to use softkey is to use standard dpi of 640 and the unmodded stock apks.
*EDIT*
By the way, as you posted this in the modded apk thread I assumed you are sing these... But as I haven't done anything to the smart manager I am starting to doubt that. If that isn't the case you can forget my remark (Still no clue though, apart from the fact that Samsung seems to suck at making these apps scale properly)
I've ran into a problem on 5.1.1 (just updated) with navbar. The themes won't work! When trying to apply a theme it says that I have to remove "keyboard cover". Is the a service we can disable to make themes work again with navbar? Any ideas? There were no issues with 5.0.2
