Menu icon missing on app on S5

Tried loading Lorex Mobile Lite on new S5 today. App appears to load fine. When I run it splash screen shows up then blank screen with "No DVR set up hit menu> add connection. There is no menu button anywhere on screen. Running 4.4.2 The same app on my wife's Nexus 7 tablet running 4.4.2 shows a menu button to right of the return button on bottom of screen an then works correctly. Any idea how to get menu button to show up or atleast get into menu?

I've run into this on a few apps. no settings menu icon in the app, no settings menu to the left of to the home key...
if you press and hold the multi tasking button the settings menu will come up.

Tried that. The app was not offered as on option to open in multi mode.

open the app you are trying to access the settings menu of.
press and hold the button to the left of the home button.
the settings menu of that app will then open.
pressing and holding what used to be the settings button still functions as the old settings button.

Note 5 Long Press Back Button for Side Bar

Hi all,
Note 5 Long Press Back Button for Side Bar feature is missing or any settings to Enable that. I am using Note 5 after Note 2 so m confused if Samsung has removed that option !!

I also came from a Note 2, and I'm fairly certain that they changed the way multiwindow is used. First you have to have the apps you want to use open so they chow up in recent apps. Then you click the recent apps button and there will be a set of rectangles to the left of the "x" button on the top right of any multi-window enabled apps, click the rectangles icon and it will open in the one side, then you select the other app from the list that remains.
Edit: Well I stand corrected, you now long press the recent apps button to access that, but its not a sidebar.

Ohk so they have removed the sidebar feature !!

Can I update my 810? And... Can I Multiwindow anything?

Hello.
I have just rooted my 810 (9'7") but I have doubts. Can I update by OTA my tablet? Will be it in loop if I do that?
And another question is if I can use multiwindow with any app. How?

Not sure about the OTA question, but to multi-window, there are multiple ways. First, you can open something, then hold the recents key and then select another app to put alongside it on the screen. Secondly, you can tap recents, and then tap the icon that looks like two rectangles on top of each other (next to the close X) on the app you want, then do the same to select another. You can also open an app and then drag the very top right corner of the app down (towards center of screen) to shrink the window down.

Split screen???

With one button navigation..how can we use split acreen. In legacy mode pressing square enables split screen so please can someone advise me

Swipe the home button to see the running apps. Press and hold the app you want to see in the split screen and drag it to the upper part of your screen.

Also knuckle gesture across the screen, or slide 2 fingers up from the bottom.

Thanks a lot..loving this phone after spending 7 months with iPhone 7

[App 5.+] VSB - Virtual Swipe Button

I switched last weekto the AOSP Oreo build for our beloved OnePlus One. So there I'm missing the possibility to customize hardware button remapping. Since I also don't like to waste place on my screen with the navigationbar, I polished up an app I developed once for my old Samsung Note 1.
VSB places a virtual button on the bottom of your screen (the grey circle in the screenshot). You can hide it and you can change the size. This button will always be there. So, now you can attach different events on different triggers of that button.
Triggers:
click
long click
double click
swipe up
swipe left
swipe right
Events:
Nothing
Home
back
Recents
open notifications
open Quick settings
open power menu
lock screen
open volume panel
To do this the app needs the following permissions enabled:
android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: to show the button over other apps, otherwise you could not click it
android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE: to trigger some events (home, back, power menu, ...)
android.permission.ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY: to open volume panel during "Do not disturb" mode
Downloads:
In the third post.
The app is complete open source: [url]https://github.com/scoute-dich/VirtualSoftKeys[/URL] and a heavily modified fork of VirtualSoftKeys, which is licensed under the Apache License.
The app can be used on any device running Lollipop+. I just want to share it, because for me it's usefull and I hope for some of you also. This is my way to say thanks to all other developers and to give the great community on XDA something back. If you have suggestions or if you find some bugs, just tell me here or open an issue on Github.

If you could add open app drawer, this would be perfect.. I know I'm a small case scenario, but your dot will interfere with my layout (see screenshot).. If there's an app drawer ( or select app) feature, it'd be amazing.. Oh, and moveable too..
Volume option takes me to do not disturb option, not the volume panel..

1. I don't think, that opening the app drawer is possible. I can't call "a launcher method" from outside the launcher. In my setup the dot also interferes with the open drawer function. But with my launcher (Flick launcher) it's possible to swipe up on the dock to open the drawer. Perhaps you have a similar possibility?
Also with your current settings it should be possible to touch the open app drawer button without clicking the VSB.
2. Moveable would be nice. I will look out for possibilities, when I have the time. At the moment I'm very busy at work and don't have much time. Also this app has a lower priority than other apps, I already published on PlayStore and F-Droid, which also have some outstanding issues to solve.
3. The thing with the volume panel is strange. I used the app on different Nougat and Oreo roms. And it always opens the "ringtone volume slider"...
But anyway, thanks for your feedback. I promise to take a look in the second suggestion.
