Some apps expect me to press a Menu button to get to some of their features, but I do not have a menu button. How do I handle the case where the developer expects the old standard menu button to be present and does not comply with newer Android standards? Is there a workaround to access the app features in the menu in those cases?
Thanks
Some ROMs require you to enable the menu button. It's in the settings menu but I can't tell you exactly where because it is different on each ROM.

you can add a menu button depending on your rom, which are you on?
Or you can use pie controls, that has a menu button.

What is pie controls? Is that something in the Play Store?
Jxt. said:
No Pie controls is usually a feature in your rom but, that was a link to a bootloader.
Can you take a screenshot of your settings?

The ROM is in first post under step 1, how to root. I used the 4.1.2 Jellybean ROM from there. It is based on stock ROM, only it is rooted.

Is it just me? Or are the advanced reboot options in 4.2.2 missing? They were there in 4.2.1 lol.
Long press still brings up safe mode but other than that reboot into recovery and bootloader appear to be gone.
That´s 4way reboot MOD, not in ROM, just somebody implemented it into his ROM.

I didn't realize. I didn't "switch" ROMs...just "upgraded". Apparently the guy making the ROM I'm using forgot to include it in the his new release.
Thanks for the info Beloch =P

Hm, I dont see a developer options anywhere in settings. It's usually at the bottom isn't it? Maybe this particular ROM has that menu disabled/hidden....

even for my galaxy r, back button is not working. I was using stock gingerbread. i flashed cyanogenmod nightly and back button doesnt work. so its hardware issue. and my menu button gets executed on its own. so if i can disable these hard keys and get the soft buttons on the screen itself, it wuld solve the problems. help me do it..

Dont panic buddy. be Calm.
Answer these questions:
1) Is you softkeys(Lightning ones) working when you were on GB..?
2) Did you mess up with anything while installing..?? what you did brief your track.
3) Hardware keys are on screen, it may be enabled from Setting. But let give feedback of above 2 questions.
back button problem solved
It was not working in gingerbread too. So i flashed cyanogenmod nightly. However I have found some temporary solution, it was probably hardware issue.
Using ES File explorer or any file manager that has root access, go to system and mount R/W
Open build.prop in text editor
go to the end of the file and add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save and exit and reboot
when u reboot u will get soft keys in ur screen only so u can use those soft screen instead of hardware buttons and for disabling the hardware buttons u can easily do if u r in cyanogenmod

I am extremely satisfied with the stock marshmallow (MRA58N) . The only thing that bothers me is that I need to save my power button (random power off issue when pressing power button, may fail completely in near future). Right now I am using gravity screen app to use my proximity sensor to wake the device. This does not work all the time. I end up using the power button.
I know almost all the custom rom out there supports volume rocker to wake. But I dont want to move to custom rom. So the way is to root. So here is my question
1. Will unlock the boot loader
2. Flash StephanMc_Kernel
3. Install twrp
4. Flash super su
5. After this what to do ?

Your best shot, for stock ROM is Xposed and Gravity Box. But IMO there is some bugs and we must wait little for improved versions.

How the custom roms managed to do ? Will i get a flashable zip for it
I don't understand your question. Please be more specific in your querry and I will respond. In fact you must flash custom ROM for that volume wake up.

Why? If you're unlocking the bootloader, flashing twrp and flashing a kernel you're almost there anyway.
Hello! I'm currently using a rom that has Long Press to Kill baked in.
CleanRom 4.0.0
I was wondering how I could go about removing this feature?

I coded it out the same way it was coded in.
Flash the attached .zip in recovery.

Sure, long press it on your homescreen and go to the info page for the app and select FORCE STOP.

I have my back key long press set to kill foreground app in GravityBox. You would need Magisk, EdXposed, and GravityBox to do it my way though.
Renovate also has it included. It cant be done without root unfortunately. I assume you mean as above, long pressing back.
If rooted, try GMD Gestures
