So lollipop standard behavior of the touch buttons is shoddy to say the least. The recent apps pane is utterly useless, for starters, and I never use the dual window feature.
I'm looking for a way to modify two behaviors: I'd like for my "square" button to function as the menu key upon short press, and a long press of the back button to kill the current app. Obviously I accomplished this in the past on the original G Flex using Gravity Box, but without a working method to install Xposed, I don't see this happening in the near future.
Has anyone had any luck mucking around with system files to change the behavior of the buttons?
im trying to add a menu button as well
GravityBox is working on 5.1.1, XPosedv74 SDK22.
not all GB function is working on G Flex2 , but function to assign a special action to the Nav key is working. eg i'm using double tap Home to take screenshot, double tap Recent to sleep etc.

I've tried to set a new function to volume keys, in order to set them as up-down control, by using program PQzII. It works just fine while program is on run, but when I turn it off new setup dissapear. Problem with this program is that while it's turned on a “strange” white icon appears in the top bar, like on this picture, and also it slows down the phone generally.

anyone can help me with this?
Maybe some other solution?
Maybe You should give a chance to AeButton or SmartKeys?
I know AeButton has option of setting four different functions/apps/whatever to any key on i780. You can keep Volume up/down for short hold and set Page Up/Down and Scroll Up/Down for long hold or double/triple click.
I was using that sollution for some time and it worked well.
Only one drawback - I think its not a free app..
Got any cool tricks you've discovered with your phone? Post them here.
To start with I just learned that with the Gingerbread keyboard on Ultimate G2X rom if you slide up on the space bar it reveals 4 arrow keys for positioning the cursor. Slide the spacebar back down to hide them again.
Here's a screeshot. Forgot to add it to the original post:

may not be a revelation to many folks but
screen shot anytime with the home and power keys pressed simultaneously
while finger is pressed dragging it above the upper most touch keyboard reveals another row of keys, number keys. saves me time from switching typing mode to numbers if I've only gotta stick a number or two in my messages when texting

Another one I found recently is with the LG camera app. If you press and hold the shutter button the camera will focus, and then when you release the button it will take the photo. Makes it easier to capture the photo I want by holding the focus like that and then waiting for the right moment to release it.

Ahh - I assume this does NOT work on stock, eh?
I'm liking the Infuse as my first stock phone, and slowly but inexorably feeling the pull over tot he dark side of rooting, modifying and ultra-customizing!
stock or whatever doesn't matter for this, it's just a tweak for touchwiz
I thought this was a pretty cool setup for those of us who need some more homescreen space but still want a clean look.
"Home2 Shortcut" found here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut
Plus "Simi Folder" found here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.th.android.widget.SiMiFolder
You can setup a folder in Simi Folder, then open Home2 and assign that folder to a certain button sequence.. For example, double home, home + menu, long press search..and a few others.
It opens very quickly and i have no issues with it. I love the added functionality and thought I would share.

Thanks for the tip! I'm an avid user of Simi folder, and this adds yet another great function to it. I would like to use double-tap menu-menu or back-back or search-search. Do you know if this can be done, or if its limited to the options given in Home2?
I'm afraid it does not.. It allows for double home, home menu, home back, and long press search combinations. I agree tho, double back or menu would be nice options to have, but the double home is good enough.

I didn't do anything. I just installed this from the Play Store and the menu was there.

FWIW long press on back button (or multitask button? can't recall) will emulate a "menu" button press for legacy apps
Edit: derp, I didn't see you already mentioned it in OP
