This is just a quick question for those that already have this tablet (still waiting on mine). I'm used to most android devices having a menu button that interacts with the given menu of a specific app. So given that this tablet doesn't have that, how do you pull up and nteract with in app menus now? I tried looking at video reviews and not one mentions anything about this.

Apps that have a menu will show the three dot menu overflow button.
Take a look at the pic in this article:

Long pressing the new multitasking button to the left of the home button will also bring up menus.
Thank you so much for the explanations!

I am new to android and I have started my journey with a Galaxy Tab. I need something which will bind to a key (like long press search) and will allow switching between running apps. Any suggestions?
Long press HOME button

This is useful indeed, but QuickDesk provides a longer list of recently-used apps. I use both all the time.

Does anyone know if u are able to reprogram the search button as multitasking? If not is anyone here capable and willing to reprogram it for some of us who I'll use it because I rarely touch the search button. Anyone else would like this except for me? Btw I'm running eagesblood, Thanks in advance
I second that request. That'd be way more useful than the search button
Do you mean the recently used/running task list? That's accessed by pressing home one the first home screen.

I would love this. Seem to remember CM7 having custom application launching for touch and hold search button so it might be a feature that just hasn't been implemented yet.
I have seen customizable keyboard modifications for devices with physical keyboards in order to remap some of the less useful keys to something worth while. When I have more time I may try to dig it up and see how complicated it is. Anyone care to tackle this? I probably don't have the knowledge to complete.

I know u can long press home but that is time consuming sort of in a way and I get annoyed by doing it.

You can customize the home key in cm9 like you can customize the search key in cm7. You need to install Apex launcher. It have a lot of features you would like. This launcher do everything like cm7. Try it out.

Can you just remap it with Button remapper or Tasker?

Button remapper won't work because it doesn't remap the long press stuff like multitasking.

Yeah that is is, has anyone tried this yet on our phone? I went back to cm7 so can't try this atm. Ill switch back to ics when i don't need my phone for anything important.
None
Will try and get back.
I however would have liked it better integrated into Primo Launcher as I dislike installing a lot of little apps called plugins to fill gaps in a launcher.
Cheers!

Wasn't primo launcher the one that stole Apex's work and shared as their own???

With similar success you can claim that every Linux distribution steals from every other one because they all share the same core.
Great apps. I really like this primo apps. I am using its launcher in my another set . After that i forget apex or nova. This primo app provide me a new life on my gb based phone . This gesture is perfect except please provide the option to move floating icon to anywhere.

Mod Edit: Profanity
Hope you can make a new launcher soon!
Primo was quite better than Apex... :crying:
If possible make a new primo launcher with same features as before but support gb+.
it's working good for me. I like that you can use a custom image and change the opacity. One suggestion I have would be to make a black background or custom background appear when triggered instead of a darkened settings menu. Just my two cents...
Edit: I j just noticed that this'd only happens if you exit the app from the app's settings menu. If you press back to get out of there menu then it doesn't bring up the settings menu when triggered. Does that make sense?

Just released Primo Gesture v1.1... Please check it out and update
Would it be possible to have multiple buttons at the same time? also sizing them in rectangular shape? I'd like to be able to have some thin but long area to tap on both sides of the screen

I mean the touch button left of the home button. Long pressing it opens Google search, but i disabled that and primo gesture still doesn't open.

That doesn't seem like an issue with Primo Gesture. If you used another app to remap that button, then it began acting just like 'Search', not long press on Search, i.e. long press on that button is like what would otherwise be a short press on 'Search'.

I didn't use any app to remap that button, long pressing it started Google search by default, so i thought it was something kind of like a search button... Guess I'll have to put up with the icon in the notification bar

I know this ROM used to have an option to enable long press on the back button to kill the current app. I think it used to be under developer options. Anyway, on the latest Beanstalk Build I can't find the option anywhere (I'm probably blind). Could someone point me to it please? I've found other threads with mods to enable this function, but I know it used to be built in to the ROM so I don't want to install a Mod if I don't need to.
Thank you!
PS Scott is awesome!

To clarify for anyone else reading: Settings > System > Hardware Keys > Enable Custom Actions
Back key (long press) = Kill app
I use the onscreen buttons and the back to kill app stopped working for me. No idea why.

Hey thanks for this, have been looking for that option for a while now. Never even noticed it was in that menu all greyed out lol

Sorry guys, the option is not there on 4.4, is it? Any workaround?
Does anyone know how to exit the screen pinning mode on the one plus one.
I'm running the euphoria ROM.

I had already done the quick search you are referring to. What you have posted is pretty much the first search result.
My question is specifically about one plus one as it doesn't have a native recents button.
I have also tried remapping buttons and that did not work either.
If someone who has a one plus one can let me know what they did to get out of pinning mode, that would be great.

I do have the OnePlus One, and it does have a native recent apps button, it's the left most hardware button. On custom ROMs it might be activated via a long-press on that button, or a long-press on the home button.
Transmitted via Bacon
Sure but it still doesn't get you out of pinned lode.. And that's my question.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
It should if you have your buttons set up so that the recent apps button is a short press. That's how you get out of pinned mode.
