I also have the exact same question
I'd also like to know how to map the recents button to menu button (same as the 3-dot button) ...
shouldn't be much longer until cm11 and other custom roms roll out with full customization functionality that allows you to remap your buttons.
Found the solution everyone!!!!
It's name is GravityBox

That's a solution but unfortunately that's not cutsomisable as we can found in ICS or JB custom roms.
As for me, I'm very interested with one navbar with search and power buttons, plus the possibility to change the bar height.

thx mister
there is no need to do so many changes in build.prop and what not. simply Install gravitybox in xposed framework(and ofcourse reboot your phone after enabling it). goto navigation bar tweaks, enable master settings. all other settings are pretty straightforward.
For aligning it, goto ''gravitybox ->navigation bar tweaks->custom settings'' and enable softkeys. play with these settings for a while till you end up with what you want, Bcoz i did .
And yes, before you ask, disabling hardware buttons is still not supported in gravitybox, so you'll have to do it the hard way. personally, i feel more is good.
Is there a way to change or add to the navigation buttons? I hate not having a menu button and I am used to the back button being on the right.

not until xposed works with this, or a custom rom is made
I have it now, root and get gravity box 4.4 you can add the menu button

I hope this isn't too silly of a question but is there any way to make the navigation buttons appear stock after root? I ordered a GP Edition but hate waiting and I'm most likely gonna use nova launcher anyways but the navigation buttons will still look like htc at least they did when I tried loading nova and a kit kat theme on a floor unit in verizon. Any help please?

Just saying, having a dedicated menu on android 4.3+ is ridiculous. In 4.3 android changed to force menu softkeys in the navbar when available (or in app when navbar is not supported). Buy I can understand wanting to swap or add other buttons. Easy enough with xposed.

Hey thank you for replying, Im not looking to add any buttons or switch them around really, my only goal is to make the navigation buttons look like the navigation buttons on a nexus/GP device will xposed let me do that as well?
Hi Guys,
since xposed doesn't support lollipop i wasn't able to change the menu button into a multitasking button any more but following this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646304&nocache=1
I found a method that is applyable
In short:
you need a root file managersystemusrkeylayoutGeneric.klkey 139change "MENU" to "APP_SWTICH"save the file and reboot
Worked for me, by long pressing the menu button you can also use it in its original function
Hope I could help
Thanx

Its working but have slow down effect / when open folder with 10 or more apps - not smooth open but with big lag , its very anoying

I notice that you can add search and menu buttons to the on-screen button layout, but that's pretty much it. LG phones have an awesome on-screen button that when pressed allows for the notification drawer to drop down. I wouldn't mind having that button.
Is there an app where we can download other on-screen buttons? Haven't had any luck finding these anywhere.
Thanks, peeps!

You'll need a custom ROM with proper navbar customization options.

Hmm. Surprising to hear there isn't some kind of apk or zip file I can install, and then all should be good. Anyway, thanks for your input.

Well there used to be a mod called SoftKeyz that I used back in KitKat days... Dunno if it's still around for Lollipop tho...
Hi,
I modified existing navbar enabler to make compatible with LineageOS and make capacitive button disable.
Just use Magisk to install it.

Because it is supposed to have the on screen nav bar in the first place. Also, the back and app switch buttons on the soft keys are placed incorrect. I find it hard to use the soft keys because I am used to the original placement of the buttons which is back on the left and app switch on the right.
Does this module works with stock Oreo (Feb security patch) ?
the dev has added support to enable navbar from settings itself, with customization.
