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'.

Hi
I just went from Stock 4.0.3 to Team EOS 4.2.1. Everything seems to work, but Im missing the "lock navigation bar" feature.
I know it's a ASUS specific feature. It says ASUS "something" setting
Fore those not familiar with this feature: You get a new button on the navigation bar. swipe it - and it lock the navigation bar, so you dont accidental push any of the buttons while e.g playing games or watching movies. Swipe it again and it unlocks the bar.
It is a big problem for kids not to hit e.g. home or back buttons while playing.
Are there any apps, hidden settings or custom roms that makes this possible

U can hide the nav bar on this awesome ROM
Long press the power button and press the last option... Better then lock

Thanks mate
Yes that is a better solution, I agree.
I did rummage around the settings. found a lot of settings related to nav/status bar, but never quite what I was after.
Android can be quite difficult because all the feature and setting and that they change from version to version and ROM to ROM.
But its also the freedom we love, i guess
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK
Requirements
1)android 4.0.4 or above
2)xposed installer
3)xposed additions module
4)gravitybox module according to android version
Procedure
Side load xposed installer apk and install framework
1)check both gravitybox and xposed additions in xposed installer modules
2)reboot
3)In gravitybox navigate to navigation bar tweaks and enable masterswitch also check enable navigation bar option
4)reboot
5)Go to xposed additions and choose remap buttons
6)add new button
7)now touch your required button and hit ok
8)In settings select one touch action as disable
9)Repeat this for all 3 buttons
10)reboot
Now you will have onscreen buttons as a nexus device enjoy
If you want capacitive buttons just uncheck both modules in xposed modules.
HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON

It will work with kitkat, but most kitkat roms have on screen buttons.

Hi, I've got a Samsung Tab S 10.5 and I'd like to disable capacitive buttons ONLY in portrait (due to continously hitting them with hand holding the tablet) on the fly. Is there a way to set for a button a conditional trigger situation?
No

I only have Long press delay on my setting. I don't see any one click or double click. My goal is to set my Back button to long press because I am experiencing phantom back button presses. My android version is 4.2
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

that s inside firmware itself
you can root ur device and install custom recovery to install Custom ROM like CyanogenMod
there s option for complete customization of soft-keys.

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.

softkeyz
therd is an app called softkeyz which is paid and requires root but you can customise everything and by everything i mean that you can customise the function of the buttons and their color
Sent from my SM-N7505 using XDA Free mobile app
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.
Hi. I have the Chinese variant (AL00). In general I'm quite happy with it. One thing that I would like to change is the function of long press of the home navigation key. Currently, long press (with a swipe up) of the home key brings up HiVoice which as far as I can tell only works in Chinese. Is there a way to change the function of long press to start up another app without having root? I'm not interested in rooting at this point (at least until Xposed is up and running for Nougat). Also, I currently do not want to convert to international version as having Chinese version may have some, albeit small, advantages. Thanks!
Not sure if you have it on Chinese firmware but you can change it to google app,under application settings,click the settings and choose default app link.
Hi. thanks for the suggestion. I tried but it didn't work. Still get HiVoice. Hopefully it is not baked in...
One more note. OK google works fine in itself. Just don't want the current functionality given to long press home.
Have a look at Nova Launcher. I haven't tried what you want but it does have lots of options.

Thanks. I haven't used Nova Launcher for several years. Currently using Total Launcher. I'll take a look.
I tried Nova Launcher and it does allow me to reset my home button, but, I did not see an option to reset long press of the home button. Anybody know if and where there is such option on Nova?
I love the style of Flyme on Meizu phones. They use one home button for back, home actions and swipe up for recent apps.
I am trying to make the controls on my Samsung S7 like its designed in Flyme.
I want to use only my HOME button, single tap for back action, single press for go home action, and still be able to use the fingerprint feature.
The issue here is, the RessurectionRemix ROM I tried only supports actions for pressing the button.
I have found, that app "easyHOME" enables the touching feature for home button, but I would like to have a more reliable solution like xPosed module.
Another feature I looking for is to show recent apps by simply swiping from the very bottom of the screen up. Do you know any way of enabling it?
