[Q] Power strip for galaxy note

I have used this app before. . And its a wonderfull addon to the ui... But wen u double press the home button, you get the voice talk... And there is no search button for the galaxy note.. Has anyone successfully made it to run on the galaxy note..? If so how

Just downloaded this app, quite useful. WRT your question, I went into the voice app when you double tap the home button, then settings and disabled the option to launch when double tap home key. Now on one press of the home button brings up the power strip and then a second press takes me to my home screen.
Hope that helps

Thanx.. I didnt know that you could disable the double tap to open voice app.. I installed it and set it.. Wen i tap it once it opens the powerstrip and i have to tap again to go to the home screen.. Isnt their any setting on it so as to double tap to directly go to home without waiting for powerstrip to appear on your first click??

I've been a Power Strip user for quite a long time but then I switched to Wave Launcher. Does the same job but activating it is less troublesome for me (swipe up from the very bottom of the screen). Plus it looks better in my opinion.

search? press and hold the left soft button.

How do u set it up to use powerstrip?? Did u mean to long press the menu button?? I cant make it to work... How did u set it up?

Yup, long press (well, not that much, it appear really quickly). Btw I use launcher pro, but I don't think it's a feature of it (I mean, will probably do the same whit touchwizz or else).

Swap recents and menu?

Hello everyone. I have searched and read and can't find either of these options. So if I've missed something my apologies in advance.
I know the phone has the option in settings under display to use a long press of the recents button to select menu. Does anyone know of a way to swap that? IE tap for menu and long press for recents?

in for this too... cant get used to only 3 hw keys... since recents only has a tap function, im wondering how to map the longpress or double tap to open the MENU for an app.

Settings> Display. Check "Use Long Press for Menu".

I don't think, at the moment, we will have that option. I also hate long-press for menu since I never now how long to press it until it registers as "Menu". It would be nice for the menu to just pop up when as you are holding down the Recent Apps button, kind of like how holding down Home will show the "slide up for Google Now" ring.

Long press is something longer than a simple tap. If you enable long press as Shalal explained in another post, you can just hold the recent button for a moment & the menu pops up. Nothing particularly dramatic about it.

Well I'm just saying that I would like the Action Overflow options (if applicable) to automatically display when the button has been held down long enough, rather than requiring you to lift your finger.
Still, it would be preferable to have HTC's implementation, since, as it is, it's faster to just tap the Action Overflow button than to long-press.

[Q] How to make long - press Menu button as Home button function?

I dont much like physical Home button so I am thinking how to make possible long-press Menu button to act as pressing Home button?
It can be done in Nova launcher but it is ok just in launcher but not in other applications.

The best and easier way to do is using xbuttonactions (xposed module). It can change long press action, double tap action of home menu and back button. Very flexible.
apk is attached

Missing menu button

There are some apps in MM which dont have the menu button show up (3 dots). As such, there is no way to access the app's menu. Is there a way to do this with the S6?

Have you tried holding the recent apps button (left of home)?

Yes I have, it brings up Samsung's multi window feature. Holding down back simply closes the app.
In Lollipop there was a flaoting 3 dots button, now there isn't.

You have to keep holding the back button for the menu to pop up (right of home).

Where's the setting button

Can any1 tell me where's the settings options to press/click when u r in a app or home screen? Normally just either holding recent or back button.

Are you talking about the menu button? That's been depreciated for a while. The few apps that still need it have an extra button on the navbar. Home menu stuff is accessed through long presses.

Damn, this sucks. Yes, 3 dot menu button. I have an app doesn't show menu button.
For home screen long press all those 3 nav buttons, none working. Except, long press home button, Google now pops up.

I don't know about the app. I suppose you could use something like Button Savior to create a menu button.
What are you trying to do with your home screen? Try long pressing an empty space to get launcher options.

Yep, thought about button savior. Not much options.
Shoot, wish there's 3 dot menu options available at all times without rooting the phone. Bummer.
