Possible to Change task manager button to menu button?

Is there a option or rom that has a feature to change the task manager button to the menu button?
I hate that there is no menu button. Most apps have a separate menu key, but sometimes I just need my own button.
Thanks.

root phone, xposed additions, can remap all buttons.

If not rooted, long press former menu key to get to menus.

You need the pro version for remapping.

Just did a step by step with drawn on screen shots but just realized I can't post them on XDA Lol. I think I need more Posts or something. Either way. You should see:
1. Buttons
2. Add new Key
3. Press the recent apps button. Click ok
4. Add new condition.
5. Screen on
6. Go to click. Then change it to menu.
7. Go to long press. Change that button or disable it.

Step 6, I only saw app list and nothing that referred to menu.

[REQUEST] Reachability

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.

Swipepad with Nova launcher
when you are adding a pad,go to shortcuts then nova action and then you can pick expand notification bar or/and expand quick settings

How do i set the button on asus watch 3

How can I set the top button on the watch. I read the manual and it mentioned ....go to the button app? Me be I'm blond but I can't find if? Is there somebody who can help me ?

On the watch, scroll through the app list and search for "Button setting" app. You can only set the top button, bottom one is always eco mode.

Thanks I found it
Thanks for the help. I was in the app list before , couple of times bud never the button settings showd up. Now it did. Thanks

Button Settings app
I must have unpaired and re-paired my zenwatch 3 a dozen times already
and downloaded the latest zenwatch manager and the android wear app
from the play store several times but I never did see the "button settings"
app in my app drawer's list of apps in the watch.
Other than this button settings app issue my zenwatch 3 works perfectly.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I seen no Button Settings app in my App Drawer until I actually pressed a button.
Got a dialog saying change the Top Button with the Button Settings app.
Now I see the Button Settings App in the app drawer.

The PDF user guide for zenwatch 3 is almost useless but
I found the button settings app the same way as you did.

And whoever said that only the top button is programmable
did not know what he was talking about and most likely does
not even own a zenwatch 3.

I wouldn't be too harsh on the person saying that bottom button wasn't programmable. Initially the bottom button was not programmable. But a subsequent update to the phone Zenwatch app permitted programming to the bottom button.

Zen watch 3
Buttons is not in my apps ,that echo setting is!!

But then il probably won't get sound from watch ,iv noticed battery only lasting 4 to 5 hrs then when I go to charge it ? Its saying battery 100% fo why draining so fast also gets very hot hope someone can help Thanks

Looks like with AW 2 you set function of top and bottom buttons Under Personalisation - Customise hardware buttons

I came to the ZenWatch 3 after using the Pebble Time Round. That watch has 4 programmable buttons than each can be programmed to starts apps with press and long press.
Is there any way (perhaps an app or mod) of letting us set additional apps to be started when long pressing the top or bottom buttons.
If not, anyone up for creating such an app?

There is no such feature of long pressing top or bottom buttons
to open apps and there are no mods or addons which can do it.
Sorry about that.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Thanks for the info. It would be a great idea if this could be implemented. Would this have to be done by ASUS or Google Wear team? Could a mod be written to do this? It would be a great feature and make those buttons twice as useful. Surely a no-brainer - why has nobody asked for this before?
There are apps that can remap the main central button, after all.

No Help option in Quick Settings Tab S2

I have a Galaxy Tab S2 T713 Nougat, rooted. When I drag down the quick settings I don't seem to have a Edit button. I have attached a screenshot.. This is not a critical problem but I would appreciate any assistance.
Thank You.

What do you mean edit button?
Do you mean to modify the quick shortcut panel?
Just tap the 3 dots.

Well duh! I already tried that and it opened a window with Button order and Button grid. I only tried Button order and did not try Button grid - which opened a window with icons to add.
I should have been more thorough but Nougat also should have been a bit more clear about where the pencil icon went to.
Thank you.

Bixby Quick Commands short cut drag down the notification bar

With the new update for S10 you can customize the Bixby butto to open other stuff.
I want to program the button to automatically drag down the notification bar.
Does anyone has an idea how to do that?

I don't have mine in hand just yet but from what I've seen, the app referred above is significantly more superior than the options Samsung gives for the Bixby button.
