Hey guys,
No emergency here, but i was wondering. I just flashed TrickDroid v7.0.0. Previously i had an earlier version that used the multitask button as a menu button, and long press on the home button was the multitask button, i really really liked that. I reviewed the tweaks package a couple of times and could not locate anything that i thought might be that particular option. Can someone tell me what that option is called?
Please disregard this post i found the option accidentally in the buttons menu while i was looking at another post
I think it's the '3 Dot Menu option.

no longer included as you don't need it anymore.
in 4.0.4 htc included in stock, you'll find it under settings > display > recent apps button

hi, i've just flashed the latest trickdroid. and since the 3-dot menu button is removed, and as far as i know there isn't a way too set, for example, long-pressing the home button or the recent apps button to open an app's settings.
tl;dr
is there any way to return the 3-dot menu or to map the homescreen button or recent apps button to change an app's settings?
thanks in advance.

In setting, go into Display, Gestures, & Buttons, in there under recent apps button, you can change how it works.

Hey guys, so I have a fresh CM10 running and I have a few questions
This may sound ridiculous, but how in the world do I edit / remove a contact? I've long-pressed, swiped, double tapped, nothing opens a menu, and there is no menu button?
Secondly - I have noticed since installing CM10 my GPS doesn't work, at all. Any advice on where to go with that?
Bump
Bump. Surely someone else has had this error it being the most popular rom?

I'm not on CM, i'm on AOKP but the process should be similar. Contacts>(choose one)>Options key (Usually remapped to right most capacitive key)
What ROM did you come from? What build are you on now? What all did you wipe before and after you flashed? I hope I can somewhat help you!
O wait some ROMs have remapping and don't have a menu button stock. Go dig in settings/ ROM controls and try to remap a button to "Menu". Maybe that will work?

I can't seem to find any rom controls. This is kind of silly though I mean a menu button should be present in every menu.... Kinda disappointed that I have to do this with such a well known rom.
I came from a fresh root and wipe / unlock.

I am on PACman which has a base of CM10.
Try going to settings -> System -> Hardware keys -> enable custom actions and it should give you the option to set up a long press remap for a menu option.

There is no "Hardware keys" section, or custom actions from what I've seen. I've been digging consistently too : /

Let me flash it real quick and see what's going on with this.
EDIT: Flashing now
EDIT2: You say there isn't a "hardware keys" section under system? I beg to differ. I found it first attempt.
open your settings
you have wireless netwroks at the top of your settings
under the wireless network section you should have interface
in the interface section is system
click that
the bottom option is hardware keys
click that and have fun.

THANK YOU!
So much. Good grief ! Why is this not set by default?? I can just set it to "Home Long Press" and boom, done. So simple, should be on by default and clearly I am blind btw. lol

I understand. All AOSP ROMs are completely custom to the user, meaning they can program what buttons they want to do what. Which is why it's not set as default. And yes, you are blind.
Also, edit your title and put solved in it. That way someone doesn't come in here and try and answer this a month down the road, when it's already been answered.
I just flashed my One X to Carbon ROM, like it alot so far but having an issue, in some apps the action overflow button pops up on the screen (the three little stacked dots) but on others it does not and i have no way to get to the settings. i.e. i have autoguide app. you need the menu or action over flow button (which ever you chose to call it) to open a search to search specific forums and threads, ALSO i have photobucket app, you need the button so that you can select different albums. is this a rom issue or am i missing a settings button somewhere?
You need to remap the recent apps button to be the menu button, go to Settings/Carbon Fiber/Interface/Buttons. I think that's the right location anyway.

Thanks I found this option shortly after posting, any idea why some apps pop up with the 3 buttons and some don't?

It depends on the coding per app. Some apps have the overflow button even when there's a physical menu button, but on other apps it disappears when it detects a physical menu button.

Is anybody else having this issue? I am coming from Galaxy S4, where the home button is actual physical button, so there I didn't have any issues, but with OPO, when typing, many times when I try to hit spacebar, it hits the top of the Home button. Before it comes up, I do not want to use on screen buttons, I like the size of the screen and don't want it up with software buttons.
I was wondering if anyone has/could write a script to set the buttons to
(Menu)
Short press - Menu
Long Press - Recent Aps
(Home)
Short press - Nothing
Long Press - Home
(Back)
Short Press - back
Long Press - nothing
Or of there is an app that would give me a bit more control over the buttons... or something that can help with this. This is absolutely the only issue I have with the OPO otherwise I love the phone.

Because i currently am running CM12 i can't give exact insturctions but it should be somewhere in settings -> buttons -> ? over there you should be able to give the buttons other values. It is something like menu button: recent apps switcher and if you press that you can change it to a few other things. If this doesn't fill your needs, ask a bit more around I know it is there, because i saw it once.

Yes it is there, but the option for "Home Short Press" is not there, that is hard coded. At least on the ROM I run (LiquidSmooth)
What I need to know is this:
Which key mapping is for Short Press Home, Long Press Home and Long Press Menu. I am within /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl to adjust the mapping manually, but can't seem to find the correct mapping for those 3.
*EDIT*
Ok, so found the key for Home and that is 172, but that disables both the short and long press...

If you have root try it with the Xposed Module "Xposed Additions".

Unfortunately can't install Xposed as it tells me that my device does not support it. Is there one specifically built for us?
I get this error :
Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK Version 21 or your processor architecture (armeabi-7va).
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libdvm.so" needed by "/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/app_process"; caused by library "libdvm.so" not found.

Thank you for the link, unfortunately still doesn't work. Same error. I think it is because the ROM I am using is LP and LP uses ART instead of Dalvik and XPosed doesn't work with that. Thank you though for the effort

Yes, ART is the problem.
So I came up with a solution for this issue.
The file in question to be working with is /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Navigate to this file using a File Browser (Root Explorer is the one I use) that has access to Root and make sure you have R/W rights.
Edit the file above in a text editor > find line : "key 139 MENU" and change it to "key 139 HOME" > and then find line : "key 172 HOME" and change it to "key 172 MENU" > Reboot device for it to take effect after you save
Then, within Settings > Buttons, you can adjust (at least on the ROM I am on), the long and short press of the Menu button.
What comes out is: left button is HOME button, with short/long press actions, middle button is MENU with just long action (set short action to NONE), and right button is BACK button untouched.
This way if I am typing, and want to hit space bar, accidentally hitting the middle button will not bring me to the main screen. It will take a while to get used to it, but it does resolve my issue.
Hi.
In a recent update to chrome there were three dots added to where the tabs button used to be, I find this very annoying and don't need it since the Note 3 already have a button for that next to the home button..
There simply is no reason for it to be there and was wondering if there is a way to disable it?
Also, a while back the refresh button was removed which also was a very bad move in my opinion, I'd much rather have that than this useless menu button.
Thank you in advance.
