I come from a Nexus 4, i'm used to its buttons layout (back-home-recents) but i didn't want to waste screen estate enabling the virtual navigation bar.
I already remapped (inverted) "back" capacitive key with "menu", so now i have "back" on the left now and "menu" on the right. Then i remapped (from cm12's settings\buttons) the "menu" key to "recents".
All fine.. now recent apps appear when i press "menu". But how do i force the overflow menu (three dots) to appear?
I tried to add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop but this way it shows the navigation bar (and all apps have a menu in them).
Is there a way i can make the 3 dots menu appear without forcing the navigation bar?
I've read something about changing "hasPermanentMenuKey" to return as false so that the system automatically displays the overflow menus but i'm not sure how to do that or if that's even correct.
In summary: I'd like menus to appear in apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

as far as i can judge you are still on 4.4.4 CM11S. If you are rooted try Xposed Framework with Noverflow Module.
Worked for me. Now on Lollipop there is no Xposed
edit: sorry understood your situation wrong... I thought you want to hide the overflow menu. I had the opposit problem, wanted to remove the overflow menu because I activated additional menu key in navbar. But there is always a xposed module to resolve a problem

thanks for the reply, i forgot to mention i'm currently using CM12 (Lollipop)
from what i read, Noverflow does exactly the opposite, am i wrong?
it removes all overflow menus, i'm trying to enable them instead.

So I got tired of having to manually holding the power+volume keys to go into recovery every time so I added the Recovery menu option to the power menu. Sharing here in case anyone else would like to have it as well. I also took a look at the 4-way boot mod and I personally just prefer having the option directly on the main Power menu instead of a submenu.
Firstly, thanks to Isaacj87 for putting together the MIUI port!
Secondly, thanks to untermensch on xda for the guide.
I REPLACED the Guard option on the power menu so if you like that option, DO NOT use this mod. Basically, you can't change the array size from 5 options to 6 options without the phone crashing when creating the dialog--there's a bunch of verifications on the dialog size in a bunch of different places that is a real pain to try and follow. I didn't want to mess with that so, since I never used the Guard option anyways, I just replaced it--and I don't know how to make a popup window in smali like the Recovery option on CM7 so I don't have any plans on doing that as well at this time.
I also changed the carrier name to MIUI.
In order to see the power menu Phone Options dialog, you need to change your Toggle Settings to Compact view, otherwise, it will just show you your notification bar toggles when you hold down your Power button. To do that:
Settings --> Personal Tab --> Toggle Settings --> Compact
Or as bing7625 mentioned, you can lock your phone and then hold down the power button on the lockscreen.
This has only been tested with Isaac's current 11-30 MIUI builds. Instructions to install:
1. Download Zip file and flash in ClockworkMod recovery.

There is no Dotted Buttons.Please Give me some solution
Please respond this I'll surely give you more reps :good:
I think that when you have a hardware menu key the app detects this and doesn't display the 3 dotted menu button (since there would be no need if you have a hardware one)
If you are rooted, may I suggest button savior: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865525
It does work without root, but I'm not sure if the menu button is supported, you'd need to try and see

Not that I know of. If you are not rooted then there won't really be much you can do
If you are rooted take a look at LMT launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
Both these apps won't add the 3 dotted menu in but act as a hovering app that will allow you to use a different method to function as the menu button.

Ok,I'll root my Mobile and try that.
Hey, before the ota rolled out I used the phone for 2 minutes, and at that time w when I pushed the left/menu button the launcher settings popped up. But there was also the settings button. So I could enter settings (like WiFi. Users....) But after that update the button disappeared and changed with the designs button.
Is there any way to get the settings button back there?
Because the upper right corner is so far away for my thumb
Another question: can I get the "," on the keyboard instead of voice??
Thanks in advance !

Go into settings->buttons and there's options to set what the menu button will do. You can set the short press to menu and then long press to recent apps which was the default before the OTA.

I see what you mean. It's the same for me. Looks like they got rid of the settings options from that menu. I switched to nova launcher and didn't notice the changes to the stock one after the update. I can only suggest that you download a new launcher.
Hi,
I've just bought a used OPO from a friend and have a couple of doubts in how to customize some functions..
How can I customize buttons to reverse long press home for recent apps and long press menu for google?
How can I remove phone from lock screen?
Can I remove google bar from recent apps?
Probably I'll have some more doubts later on, but I'd already be happy with these answers I couldn't find myself on Google.
Thanks.:good:

Search bar is disabled in home but not in recent apps.
This is what I mean by phone in lock screen.
Thanks.
in about phone, turn on advanced mode, the options should be available in buttons. you can customise your lockscreen in settings.
It worked!! Thank you so much! I was also able to remove recent apps search bar in display settings.
no problem
One more question if you don't mind.. Why can't I select same wallpaper image for home and lock screen? I can select and adjust home wallpaper position to where I want, but lock screen I only found option in themes but doesn't allow adjustment.
In my nexus and Samsungs I usually went to Gallery select image and clicked "Set as Wallpaper" - Home and Lock Screen", but in OPO this option is not available..
Thanks.
I often use "All in one gestures" app to customize button actions, but don't know whether it works or not on Mate 9.
Did anyone check it out by chance?
Also, do you know any other way to customize button actions?
I usually set home button long-press to turn the screen off, and back button long-press to popup menu (i.e. the three dots menu).
Thanks for any hint!
If Xposed for Nougat is working on the Mate 9 ( I haven't found out if it does for sure yet) the you can use Gravity Box module to do all sorts for 2nd and even 3rd functions. I always liked having hold back for sleep/screen off and hold recents for screenshot personally.

Xposed is working right now although GB need to be released for Nougat. If you just need their simple feature, flash Kangvip and you will have all thing as you said above.

Oh nice. Thanks. How did you install Xposed? Just flash the zip and install the app on a rooted device?
Ok got Xposed running. Kang breaks my system, I'm on C567B190 so not supported yet apparently. Good thing I had a backup to restore .
There is a Gravity box for Nougat available as an app install. I'm going to give it a try.
