Is there a way to assign nav bar butons long-press custom function, if the AOSP based ROM doesn't have this kind of option baked in?
I need Home button to turn off screen and Menu button to show split screen when I touch and hold them.
The ROM I'm using right now is EvolutionX (Magisk root, A11 firmware, OSS vendor) but it doesn't have nav bar customization like other AOSP based ROMs I've tested, that allow the user to assign long-press functions to the all three nav bar buttons.
I've asked this on EvoX telegram dedicated channel but I haven't got an answer since it's not a bug, error or issue.
There are few apps on Play Store that allow to remap hard buttons but not soft nav bar buttons.

I have the latest Paranoid Android on my note7000. I enabled softkeys on the navbar because it gives me the recent apps button which I find far easier than long pressing the physical home button. However now I have two home buttons (a soft and a hard) as well as two back buttons. I was wondering if it was possible to reprogram one of the duplicates. The feature I was thinking would be great for one of these buttons are the toggles (GPS/WiFi/BT, etc). PA already gives me all the toggles I need from the notification bar, but what I don't like about it is that I need to tap twice. The first tap on the status bar brings up notifications and then the 2nd tap brings up the toggles. It would be nice to have this as a single tap. If one of the soft buttons could be programed to bring up wigitzoid or other toggling widget that would do it. Or if there is another equally fast way to bring up these toggles, please let me know. (I prefer not to have to go back to my homescreen to get to the toggles.). Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I have an unlocked rooted VZ Dev Ed with Xposed and Gravity Box and Ultimate Nav Bar module. But I still can't figure out how to add a magnifying glass to my stock soft keys. Ultimate Nav Bar only seems to give me yet another Nav Bar that pops up when I press the trigger but doesn't replace my existing soft keys. Maybe I'm not setting up Ultimate Nav Bar correctly?
I like having persistent softkeys or at least ones that are easily accessible with a swipe up. (Although swiping up from the bottom seems to trigger Google Now so I set Ultimate Nav bar to be triggered by a press on the right instead of a swipe.)
I prefer the stock softkeys to Ultimate Nav Bar anyway. I did add the three dots menu to my stock softkeys but I would also like to add the magnifying glass for search. Is this possible? If not, how do I completely replace the stock softkeys with Ultimate Navbar?
Judging by the lack of response - I guess its not possible (Unless I want to flash a CM rom.)
I just want to say "Me Too". This is the biggest thing I miss from the AOKP ROM. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an Xposed module that does this. (No, Gravitybox's extra button does not provide the context sensitive search I'm looking for).
Are there any Xposed Modules or Apps that its feature is capable of acting as a Power Button by Long Pressing the Status Bar? Basically, Long Pressing the Status Bar acts just like what the Power Button would do when you Long Press the Power Button (The Power Menu would show up when long pressed). A "Very Long" Press on the Status Bar would restart the Device.
I need this kind of feature to my ROM and Device because the Power Button in my Tablet is not responding properly as of late and I have decided to use the Power Button only in the case of emergencies, so that I won't worsen its already bad condition.
I am well aware of apps like Quick Boot and there may be apps that are already capable of doing this but I would want this feature to be noticed and made possible so that this feature would be added in Custom ROMs just like the "Double Tap the Status Bar to Sleep" feature of CyanogenMod. I'm also hoping that this kind of feature would also be included in the Lineage OS ROM.

There're many apps for this - GMD Gesture Control, Status Bar Pro - Gestures and others.
OK so I use this substratum theme that gives my the pixel 2 navigation bar on my note 8. The only problem is that when I press a key on the navigation bar it registers twice for some reason. (I.e I press the back button once and it backs out twice.)

I am trying to achieve gesture navigation close to android 10 on pixel devices. Using QuickSwitch and LawnChair q build and enabling Samsung's full-screen gestures, I've been able to get all the gestures to work. However, only the recent button is acting as the hotspot for gesture navigations and the home and recent buttons perform their original tasks. I am wondering if there is any way to extend the recent button to cover the full bottom of the screen and remove the home and back keys (maybe using adb commands or modifying systemui apk). Thanks in advance!
