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. My power button starts to cause problems and sometimes I have to torment to bring up the menu (profiles, screenshot, reboot). Is there any way to create a shortcut to the menu? Eg "1Tap Quick Bar" app creates a shortcut, but only to reboot (even without the choice standard/CWM). I searched all activities of system apps but found nothing. As a last resort can I map the camera button as power one?
Just go to market and type "Shutdown Menu". It has everything you need.
OK thanks, but it solves my request partially. I need whole power menu with screenshot and profiles
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.
Hi fellow users,
My D415 died awhile ago so therefore I cannot make nor test any new zips. I can add any of your zips to this thread as long as you PM me the zip and another user can verify that your zip works. Have fun and be safe!
I made some zips to remap the button layouts on the LG L90 to replace the menu with recents, and to remap the button above the volume keys to a play/pause media or camera. With these zips, you do not need to remap the keylayout files yourself, reboot, or mess something up. I've used these for myself when flashing a new rom, and the zips are in attachments.
Use these zips at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything you do(or don't do). If there is an issue, please tell me so I can try to help you.
NOTE: This has only been tested on the D415 and the D405n(thanks to @razoract) with Temasek's rom so it should work with any custom LP and MM (confirmed by @brossovitch with CM 13) rom, and probably won't work for the D410.
DO NOT USE WITH KITKAT ROMS OR STOCK. AFAIK THEY DO NOT WORK
Have custom recovery and unlocked bootloader...
Instructions: 1. Go into your custom recovery [CWM or TWRP]
2. Flash zip of your choice [download default zip just in case of failure]. Make sure signature verification is disabled. Zips found below...
3.???
4. Profit
D410, KitKat, and/or other users, If you PM me what button corresponds to button number(through CWM button test and I don't know what else unfortunately), I can make a set of zips for you.
Descriptions:
Note: There is no need to use the Modified zips to use recents button on SlimLP based roms because there are settings to change the Menu button to recents and flashing the Modified zips will disable long press and double tap options
Default: Use this to revert to default keylayout [no play/pause, camera button, nor recents remap]
Modified: Remaps the Menu button to Recents and adds the play/pause button
Modified camera: Same as Modified but with camera button
Modified Samsung Style: Remaps Menu to Back and Back to Recents with play/pause button, like most current Samsung devices
Modified Samsung Style Camera: Same as Modified Samsung Style but with camera button
Play/Pause: Simply adds Play/Pause button to rom [no recents remap]
Camera: Simply adds Camera button to rom [no recents remap]
Super: Maps the Quick button to Recents
Duper: Maps the Quick button to Menu and the Menu button to Recents
Brightness: Maps the Quick button to turn brightness up
Brightness Modified: Maps the Quick button to turn brightness up and the Menu button to Recents
Brightness Samsung: Maps the Quick button to turn brightness up and the Menu to Back, and the Back to Recents
Power App Switch: "Quick Button (top left button) to Power (lock, unlock and turn off) and the Power Button (right button) to App Switch (shows the running apps)". Thanks to @937foy

Attention D410 Users
I need you guys to test this zip and see what it does (The MODIFIED-D410.zip)
I remapped the menu button to recent button, and I think I remapped the SIM button to Search and made the Home button to wake up the screen.
There shouldnt be any danger to your device, but if it doesnt work flash the DEFAULT-D410.zip and all should be fine.
Also, if this turns out to work, I'm sure that I can make a set of universal zips
Happy Flashing!
I'm sure that 99% of you have experienced the pure agony of stepping outside and your brightness is waaay too low and you fumble to turn the brightness back up [Aaaaah], but you can't see a darn thing [noooooooo!].
I have remapped the Quick Button to turn brightness up so that this doesn't happen as melodramatically as I described it. Just press the button and the brightness goes up quickly
Tested on my D415 and it should work for the D405(N) [Sorry D410 users]
Same bat instructions, same bat warnings

Most app menus are found in the top right corner and its also the menu button is defunct in material design guidelines, and a lot of phones don't even come with a menu button If you are running UberSlim or SlimLP you don't need to flash the modified because you can just remap the button in settings. So the only way to enable the menu button is with the nav bar or choose a different zip.

Yeah, I know about the settings in uberslim, but I am considering switching ROM's again because of all of the random reboots. So which zip would turn the menu button into the recent key and still allow me to access hidden or non hidden menus. Or is Xposed the only viable option besides for the nav bar? Also, some apps hide the menu if they detect that the device has a menu key, so in that case either the nav bar has to be present (I know that it could be hidden) or one has to use the menu key. Personally I find that sometimes it is easier to just press the menu key rather than fish for the settings button.
Here I got an idea, thanks to @mosimchah
I just made these zips.
The Super zip remaps the Quick button to Recents and keeps the Menu button
The Duper zip remaps the Quick button to Menu and maps the Menu button to Recents
You should know what to do now..
Hi all,
I plan to make more zips (and/or improving my current ones) but I still need your help with testing the D410 zips as I have not received any input what-so-ever..
Anyways I have a new set of keymappings for you to test out. Below I have included zip mods for Stock Lollipop for the D415 (thanks to @lerner17 for providing the default.kl from Stock Lollipop) . It likely works for the D405 and probably doesn't work on the D410.
These zips are only for Stock Lollipop. Flashing these zips on Stock KitKat or any other rom will make buttons inoperable. If you have any doubts, copy your generic.kl found in /system/usr/keylayout/ and make sure your file manager has root access and is accessible without pressing any button (place it on a home screen). If buttons are inoperable, replace the generic.kl with the one you backed up.
The Stock.zip has the default keylayout and will undo the Stockified layout.
The Stockified.zip should remap the quick button to play/pause media and the Menu button to Recents.
Again, have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash zips. I assume no responsibility for whatever you do to your device or whatever you don't do to your device.
And as always, I'm open to input (and criticism) and welcome it
@ardentis
Thank you for this. The button remap flash is so convenient and easy. Works on all custom ROMs that I've tried. (CM12.1, CM13, Orion-LP) So amazing. Thank you!
Side note. The button allows pictures to be taken, but hold for video video.
Hey can you make a .zip that can work with google on tap in cm13 but have the same effect that the duper zip does? Also how do I uninstall this

I can try making an on tap zip but no promises. You can uninstall a zip with another zip but if you want the default keymap flash default.zip
Now on tap can't be activated by a key command so I cant make a zip for it. :/
The button mod no longer opens camera on SlimROM (6.0.1). It does toggle shutter while camera is open.
Still great work man.

Hmm weird. It might be some sort of code change so I dont think I can help unless you can give me the default.kl. Isnt there an option to remap the button to open the camera in SlimRom? Or is it just CM13 ?
Hi !
Thank you for this buttons remap ! Now is more confortable use CM13 bith the recent apps in the menu button, and Google Now on Tap on the home.
Great job !

Actually, neither have that option. Hence why I use your zips. It's not a big deal. There's the double tap power button to open camera. Works fine. One of my L90s has a jammed/broken quick button anyhow. So I use the power button option on it instead.
Thank you for the great work, BTW.

Its up
thanks a lot
i want to give you thanks, i was seaching something else because some xposed apps doesnt works. thank you by this job.
I flashed the Modified zip for the d410 but the home button doesnt' work, it shows the recent apps.
The buttons work like this: Back Button/Back - Home Button/Recent Apps - Menu Button/Search - Sim Button/Nothing.
I believe this has something to do with new Android system.
I have some older apps like nbpro or simple task switcher that don't have three dots. Is there any way on tab s2 to remap an existing key to menu key? For example, long press switching or long press home will activate menu?
I found that I can have more settings key by activating assistant menu under accessibility. Assistant menu is a cyan circle, once tapped, it explodes to show further onscreen keys. To able to assign more settings to a key off the screen or to a gesture would be nice. I am not ready to root my tab s2 yet. Or else using xposed would be handy.
Long press the back button. It brings up settings/menu
Long press back key does work sometimes.
In some app like nbpro, the menu, more options appear when I hold back key after lo press. When I release after the long press the more options disappear. It sometimes does not register very well. I don't know if it is something to do with the app or something to do with the system.
