[Q] Disable Menu Button? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a mod that would disable the menu button on the phone and add the menu button inside the apps instead?

No. There are mods to enable software buttons. Each app is created to utilize hardware software menu buttons. In order for the app to show a menu button the app would need to create the.

If you want the software menu button to appear on-screen where would it go?
ICS solves this problem by having a flexible navigation bar where a menu button would appear if the application called for it. So if you want a software menu button, there are mods to enable a navigation bar.

ICS menu button

Hi, I am running this ICS ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488101
I was wondering if I could disable the menu key so I could get the overflow menu in the top right corner, then turn the physical menu key into the multitasking button. How could I do that?

[Q] Software Power Menu

Hi,
I'm looking for an app which can open the DEFAULT power menu.
There are many apps in the Play Store which CREATE a power menu, but I want one which can just open it.
I use power menu a lot and I'm sure most of us use it very much. I just want something which can prolong the life of the power button.
I'm currently using Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store which can lock the phone using an on-screen icon. I want something like that for the power menu too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If you're rooted, you could try rom toolbox from jrummy, it has a complete rebooter section and a widget accessing to that section

I know there are apps which can display their own power menu.
But what I'm interested in is to use the default power menu...
Have a look at Screen off and lock in the Play store to know what I mean...

I assume you have a non-working power button. There are 2 ways you can do this:
1. Enable the Navigation bar feature in AOKP or SlimBean rom. Map the Power function to one of the button, but map it to the primary function of the button, not the secondary.
2. You can remap your capacitive buttons. Open the file /system/use/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl with the text editor of your root explorer, or copy it to your sdcard to edit it. Change KEY 217 ASSIST (or SEARCH), to POWER. Save the file and reboot. Also make sure you fix the permission of the file when you put it back if needed.
For both of these, press and hold that button to bring up the menu, one press = screen off.

Lost menu button in Chrome

Yesterday I removed navbar using "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" and installed LMT.
Today I noticed, that the menu button is gone both in chrome and chrome beta.
Other apps work fine.
Does Anyone have an idea how to bring it back?
Bump
It's because you've told the phone you have a hardware button, so it'll remove the overflow button in (some) apps
Is there a way to hide navbar and keep the software "menu" button?

I believe Gravity Box allows you to remove the emulated hardware keys and adds the 3-dot menu key to almost(?) all apps.

Remap power button

I know the power button can be assigned to pull down the notification panel via a swipe gesture. I was wondering if it were possible to remap that to do "BACK" or "HOME".
if what you want is not available you could use a power menu app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.visnkmr.powermenu&hl=en_US&gl=US). it's what i use
