This may be a stupid question. I just installed the AOKP 4.2 build 5.
I am wondering how to assign the hardware keys?
I want to use long press home to do voice search, recent button as menu key, and long press recent as recent apps.
Also I miss having swipe up in lock screen to access google now. is there any way to set it?
It looks like I have to enable navigation bar in order to have quick access to google now.
Please help.
Please ask questions in the Q&A forum.
I have Samsung N8013. Installed PACman rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43446709
In apps like Play Store, Google Now or Skype I don't have software menu button (three dots). I guess thats because "ViewConfiguration.get(context).hasPermanentMenuKey()" is true, which is false. I wonder what should I do to tell rom that I do not have hardware menu button.
EDIT:
Ok, I have found a setting under AOKP settings: Settings > ROM Control > General UI > Show Menu UI Overflow.
Maybe it'll help someone in the future.
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.

Don't know if you are rooted, but this works for me.

I know, it's no problem. In the meantime dashrink's solution works great. Thanks all
Glad I could help
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.
Good Morning!
I managed to flash CM 13.0-20160705-NIGHTLY on my xt1032 (11.0-2014-09-04 before ) yesterday, everything seems to be working fine for now.
But i am missing one feature (or maybe i am too blind?): the long-press-action for the home button...
Here how it was before on CM11: Settings > Buttons > HOME BUTTON - Long press action
Problem is, i do not have any options to define a long press action to any button in the buttons-menu.
Could somebody of you please check if its the same on your CM13?
A screenshot of the menu Settings -> Buttons would already be helpful
I placed that question on the CM-forums, which resultet in a solution:
Long-press-action on homebutton has been replaced, now gets you to Google now. Not modifiable. And crappy.
forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/126847-cm13-on-falcon-xt1032-ui-issues/
So my problem is that:
Because the Oneplus 2 has hardware buttons apps don't show menu buttons in them
If you have hardware buttons Titanium Backup doesn't have any other way of entering the menu in it except to bind the menu function to some HW button
I'm on Nougat so my recents long press is occupied by enabling split screen
And because I'm on LineageOS I cannot bind anything to long pressing the back button, which would be optimal for enabling the menu. I could make the home long press be the menu button, but that would feel quite unnatural and also there's some slight problems with the FP reader so I don't want to bind anything to the long press.
Also because I'm on Nougat, Xposed isn't an option as there's no Nougat version available
So to be able to access the menu in Titanium Backup I would either need to be able to enable the menu buttons in apps without having the navbar, or I would need to be able to bind something to long pressing the back button. Any suggestions?

Hello and welcome to xda-assist,
I'm a op2 user too :good: but I actually prefer the Navbar by far for all the possibilities of customization, so I can't tell you more than what you already described as the one working way which feels to "unnatural" for you..
As our part here on xda is to redirect you to the most suitable thread for your question I would recommend you to visit the op2 help thread here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/help/qa-noob-friendly-qa-help-thread-t3146584/page79
and maybe the lineageOS thread of seraph08 as the basic functions of
official
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-official-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3500985/page90
&
unofficial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-x-cyanogenmod-13-oneplus-2-t3292436/page1379
are the same, and other users of lineageOS may have some ideas..
Good luck
