Is there recent option for the hardware button. Couldn't find it. Trying to multitask

By default, you can long press home.
You can go into Settings > Buttons and remap the buttons. I personally remapped Menu to Recent apps.

Sure if you want to, its called screen off. Or just enable Status Bar Double Tap to Sleep.

Hi,
I'm looking for an app which can open the DEFAULT power menu.
There are many apps in the Play Store which CREATE a power menu, but I want one which can just open it.
I use power menu a lot and I'm sure most of us use it very much. I just want something which can prolong the life of the power button.
I'm currently using Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store which can lock the phone using an on-screen icon. I want something like that for the power menu too.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If you're rooted, you could try rom toolbox from jrummy, it has a complete rebooter section and a widget accessing to that section

I know there are apps which can display their own power menu.
But what I'm interested in is to use the default power menu...
Have a look at Screen off and lock in the Play store to know what I mean...

I assume you have a non-working power button. There are 2 ways you can do this:
1. Enable the Navigation bar feature in AOKP or SlimBean rom. Map the Power function to one of the button, but map it to the primary function of the button, not the secondary.
2. You can remap your capacitive buttons. Open the file /system/use/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl with the text editor of your root explorer, or copy it to your sdcard to edit it. Change KEY 217 ASSIST (or SEARCH), to POWER. Save the file and reboot. Also make sure you fix the permission of the file when you put it back if needed.
For both of these, press and hold that button to bring up the menu, one press = screen off.

Hi,
I want to change the middle "Show previews" button to function like a "menu" button, I have looked all over the internet but no one explains how to do it on one s.
is it even possible? and if yes then please let me know how
Thanks,
Jasmine.
The middle soft button on mine is the home button.. the recent apps button on the right can be used as a menu button. Settings, display, buttons and gestures. The rest should be pretty easy

Hi,
I have recently found that the double tap to wake feature actually does work on my phone, but all it does is slightly brighten the watch face. I still have to press the power button to open the app drawer (Home screen)
Is there a way to get to the app drawer from a sleeping state without pressing the actual power button?
Try with sensivity button at maxim.

Sorry, that is not what I meant
I can use the double tap to awaken the screen, it just brightens up, but then I have to press the power button to make it even brighter. Only after that can I open the app drawer.
I don't think,there is no option for now,maybe in future.

Has anyone figured out how to get the soft menu button back after it was replaced by the app switcher button?
Press and hold of the app switcher just triggers the multi-window mode.
I use an app that has no menu in their interface and really need this button back!
Help!
Thanks!

On my device when there is no menu button in the app I get a floating menu button, you don't?
I see the floating menu button (with 3 dots) in the XDA app. However, in pulse reader, it does not appear...
