There used to be little punctuation symbols above all the letters that u could just long press on the key and insert into a text or whatever. How do i get them back? Is there an old keyboard file i have to flash or something? I used to just be able to hold down the "m", i think, to get a question mark. Now u have to press a button and scroll to it. Grrrr

It seems to be a marshmallow change. Changing the others.xml and feature.xml does not seem to work.
I have the same need for ? ? So I've used the hot key setting, to make a long press of 0 equivalent to ?

I am actually finding a keyboard that stays on the screen no matter what you do. Is there such a program? The reason being, I am trying to type without a type box on the screen. Thanks!
Hold down menu button, should bring up the KB.

Idk if someone already found this but i thought i would post it anyway you can get into the stock recovery by
1. pressing and holding the x key on the keyboard
2. without letting go of the x key turn on the phone
up to here its the same as the droid 1
3. you should get a yellow triangle and android logo to show up
simply press the search key on the keyboard srry
4. and your in
Seems to work ok but pressing the search button does nothing for me... just sits there and does nothing. Have to pull battery to reset. I must be missing something... ??

You may have done it this way but...
You have to hit the physical search button on the keyboard

Wow, its always the simple things.
Yes, make sure you use the search button on the slide out keyboard, not the one on the bottom right of the screen. That was my problem now it works fine.
Thanks vampire

That has been removed. The menu button will appear only if necessary and needed by the app itself. If you don't seem to find the menu button, it might be embedded in the app itself. The menu button on the navigation bar will appear at the left-most corner. A 3 horizontal line with a small triangle.
So it seems like..it has already been removed..and also the screen grab shortcut aswell hmmm anyways thanks for the input though

Any idea how to flip the multitask and back buttons ? Isn't it weird that the back button is now on the right ? Why would Samsung do that ?
My menu button on GT-6210 hardly ever shows up no matter which app I'm using & it's totally random when it decides to show back up (using stock honeycomb.) I got so annoyed by not having it when I needed it so I bought an app called called button survivor from the market. I think it needs root permission but now I can use that to open the menu whenever I need it.

So did they remove quick launch options in the display settings removed on jellybean?
Settings/display/quick launch
I don't have jellybean so I can't check but if they they removed the quick launch option & removed the screenshot shortcut that is very disappointing and makes no sense at all.

My end goal is to have the phone return to the home screen after waking it up. This question has been asked for many years but there isn't a simple apk to add this feature.
Digging around it seems like we are able to change for sure, but I'm guessing also to add functionality to hardware buttons, power in this case,. While it is not fool proof, adding a step wen "clicking" the power button to put the phone to sleep to return to home screen before the screen goes off seems like the easiest way.
From the other "how to's" on how to re-map buttons brings me to the Generic.kl file from /system/usr/keylayout. There are 5 or so references to the "power".
Can someone point to which key number I want?
How would I add the return to home and still have the screen go off.
Thanks for the help...
Am I the only one that would like to always open their phone to the home screen?

If I am understanding your post correctly,
You can use automate or tasker to set a rule :
If screen off then return to home screen.
Hope that helps.

1. According to Samsung, this is the case
2. Try long pressing the back button
3. Don't know, haven't tried
4. Hold Power & Volume Down for 10 seconds
5. Don't know this either.

Press and hold the recents key. It's been like that since the Note 4
Edit: Actually I just got the phone and the long press doesn't bring up the menu anymore, brings up multi window. Weird

They moved the menu to long pressing the back key.
