Hi!
This is what I need...
I have cm11. I mostly read news app in extended desktop mode, without status bar and soft buttons. But i need back command a lot when nav bar is hidden. Is there any app where I could define some shake move for back command?
For the moment I installed pie with just one button (back).
Not bad.
Try swipe back exposed module

I don't have exposed on cm11 with art...
Right now, the soft keys on the Z3 do 'Back', 'Home' and 'Recent apps'. With my previous phone being a Galaxy S2, this is a major annoyance for me. I want my beloved menu button back . So my question is: can I remap the 'Recent apps' button to instead show the menu? I've tried some solutions like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818499, but this doesn't seem to allow customization of the soft keys I want to change. Is there anything out there that lets me do this, preferably without directly modifying the layout file? I have root so that's not an issue.
Thanks in advance

Except no roms are ready for xperia Z3 yet. Also might want to try Carbon Rom if you really liked the navigation button customization. They do a better job than CM, and have more options.

Yeah, that's kind of the issue for now: the lack of ROMs. Could this be done through Xposed or something similar was well?

u should check if Xposed module have access to SystemUI
(i don know about that module a lot)
Root and xposed will work
There is a module for remapping keys and one for adding a permanent menu key

Just give it some time. Lollipop and Xperia Z3 hit the shelves around the same time, but DEVs are more interested in getting their ROMs working based on lollipop, instead of getting a custom rom based on an old OS working for a new phone.

coming from a Note1 i have exactly the same question. sounds like we just wait for Lollipop and learn to love back-key on the left side (perhaps that's more intuitive anyway). i still wish there was a way to generate a menu-keypress though, like a combo? a long press?
i often feel like theres a menu there, but no way to see it. is it always true that the 3 vertical dots will appear somewhere (sometimes top, sometimes bottom. grrr!) in this menu-key-less interface?
First thing I did after root... Install Xposed framework then download/install the GravityBox(KK) module. In the GravityBox settings, go to Navigation Bar Tweaks. Enable the master switch, then check the box to "always show menu key".
This will enable your menu key and still keep your recent apps key. You can also swap the recent and back button (if your used to that type of layout). And if you want even more then you can do like I do...
(in the Navigation Key Actions menu, not in Navigation Bar Tweaks)
*shrink the nav bar to 75% height
*long press back to close foreground app
*long press home to enable/disabled screen rotation
*double tap home to show a custom app launcher menu (put your fav apps n here)
*double tap back to switch to last open app
*long press menu to enable/disable flashlight
(this is just my setup, each keys long press and double-tap have multiple options to choose from)
With gravity box you can do a whole lot. You can change your battery icon to a different one but be sure to go into your phone "settings>personalization>status bar icons" and uncheck battery. If not, then when you restart you will have 2 battery icons (stock & gbox battery) in your status bar. Also, you can turn your status bar into a brighteness control, which comes in very handy, or enable song skipping by long pressing the volume keys (when the screen is off).
Just check everything out in gravity box, it has soo much to offer.

I just did this with my Xperia Z3. Get root (note there's locked bl root available). Then install xposed framework. Then get Xperia / AOSP NavBar module from Xposed Installer.
Since kitkat, Google has made long-pressing home bring up Google Now, and the button to the left brings up recents...
I've always liked long-press home to bring up recents, and the other button for menu, and used gravity box on xposed, however now I have lollipop I can't use xposed...
Is there another way to do what I want?
I have a galaxy s5 with fusion ROM
no,actually i dont think show.

That would be a pain, I've already had issues... I use playerpro for my music, and there's no software settings button which you need for sleep timer etc
Some Custom Roms had this option 'sleep timer'.
Hey everyone. Im posting an easy guide here on how to change your boring old 2d recents panel into lollipop's brand new 3d recents panel.
Things you need:
1- A rooted phone
2- Xposed framework installed
3- Xposed Additions(module)
4- Xposed Additions Pro(paid add-on) (necessary for the guide)
Step 1
Im pretty sure you have already installed xposed additions and xposed additions pro from playstore(there are less then legal places to download it from)
Step 2
Install Fancy Switcher from Play store and open it. Set it up
In behaviour>smart slider uncheck the enable smart slider
In visual effects>style choose android lollipop
Close the app
Step 3
Open xposed additions. U should already have installed the pro add on
Now go to Buttons>Add new key and press the button that brings out the recents panel. Long press or not press the button and tap ok
Step 4
Now there will be a new option there with the name of the button u pressed. Tap it. Now there will be a new menu.
Tap Add new condition and then tap Screen on. A new option Screen on appears under add new condition, tap it.
Step 5
If the recents panel comes out by a single press of the button, check click under Single Actions and then tap on it
If the recents panel appears by long press then check it and tap on it
Step 6
Now a new menu apears
Deep down below, there's an option of load application list. Tap on it. An application list appears. Choose fancy switcher.
Close xposed additions
Voila
Try bringing out the recents panel
A Quick Review
Install xposed additions and pro add on
Install fancy switcher set it up choose android lollipop from style and uncheck enable smart slider from behaviour>smart slider
Open xposed addition go to buttons>add new key>press the button that brings out recents panel> ok (well take home for example)
Go to home>add new condition> screen on> check and tap on click/long press> poad apppication list > fancy switcher
Done

In gravitybox you can enable single-press for data mobile in quick settings.
