[Q] Nav bar menu button p5110 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seem to be having problems getting a menu button to work in the soft keys (nav bar) on custom roms on my P5110. I have tried CM10.1, CM10.2 and now currently on SlimBean 4.3.
When I enable the menu button in the nav bar, it appears but it never works. I cannot access the menu at all, the button is dead! All the other buttons on the nav bar appear to work.
Frustrating as having a menu button in my navbar is very important for me.
Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks.

no buddy never had such issue but i can say that region of screen is not working i which menu button is situated
take it to customer care center
they may do something for sure that might help you

I can't take it back, being rooted and all that.
I have no idea why when I go into nav bar settings in a custom rom such CM, I change the "recents" button to "menu" but it just doesn't work.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.2 does not allow custom buttons?

I am using a cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly rom. Went to Settings->Device->Buttons . Put a check mark in the "Allow custom buttons" box. Then I set "Long press action" to Open/close menu. So now I can just long press on the center/Home button on my HTC One X to bring up sub menu. Needed this to access settings menu for pinger free text app.
The Buttons setting allows you to display the sub menu in other ways such as double tapping the Home button. Hope this helps.

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?

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.

Hardware key mapping: how to use recents?

Hey guys,
I am a SlimKat user but dualboot with Miui. Now, that ROM hasn't integrated hardware key mapping, unlike SlimKat and GravityBkx doesn't work, unfortunately. I prefer hardware buttons over soft keys and I don't like OP's button placement. I know off changing the key mapping manually using "Generic.kl" in system/usr/keylayout.
I have found the correct Buttons that I want to have changed, but I don't know how to change them to recents? Menu is MENU WAKE_DROPPED. Back is BACK WAKE_DROPPED. Recents? No clue.
Does anyone know the code for recents? Or maybe I can download a Samsung Galaxy S5 ROM and check the recents code in their(it has a hardware recents button, right?)
Thank you in advance!
BTW: back is key 158 and menu is key 139 for those who want to know.
Oh, wow... Google is amazing...
It's: APP_SWITCH....

Looking for a lollipop rom with this specific feature

So I have tried a few lollipop roms and I can't seem to find one that has the on screen nav button editor/reorganizer. I want to be able to reorder the on screen nav buttons and also assign longpress actions to them. I know you can assign long press to the hardware keys but I would like to be able to do this with the onscreen nav keys. Does anyone know of a lollipop rom that has this feature?

You should be able to open the SystemUI.apk and edit the navbar yourself if you really need it.

A feature that Long Pressing the Status Bar would open the Power Menu?

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 it 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.
