OP3 Button Mods
OP3 Button Mods currently adds the missing "Open/close menu" to button actions. I am planning on adding an option to replace the single-press behavior of either Recents or Back button with Menu button as well, though that won't be in the first release. There are two options to install this mod: Xposed module OR modded Settings.apk.
Current mods:
Add "Open/close menu button action"
Link to SuperSU in Settings (only modded apk for now!)
Link to Layers Manager in Settings (only modded apk for now!)
TODO:
Change Recents/Back button behavior to Menu button
Suggestions??
Requirements:
Root access
Optional: Xposed Framework (Only with module)
Installation:
Option 1: Xposed module (Xposed Framework required!)
Download Xposed module
Install module, activate it & reboot device
Done
Option 2: Modded apk (root required!)
Backup current Settings.apk from system/priv-app/Settings
Download modded Settings.apk from attachments
Replace original apk with the modded apk (system/priv-app/Settings)
Change permissions to rw-r-r & reboot device
Done

Not at this point no, I'm still learning more Java Maybe some day. This was just a simple edit to array. For some reason OP3 decided not to implement it..
xposed module working great. thanks. now i can quickly access the google chrome menu again
I would have love that for my oneplus x but since then, I edited the keylayout file and used gravity box, not the easiest way but it works lol.
Thanks for your share, I'm sure it will help many op3 users (this phone looks really nice).

You could try the Xposed module on your OPX too. I'm quite sure it would work.

Thanks for this! Installed. Not sure how OP missed this...
actually, now that i see it, this is not exactly how i'm used to use my hardware buttons, coming from a samsung.
left:
short tap: menu
long tap: nothing i think, but i had configured it to change to the last opened app using gravitybox.
home button works the way i am used to it
short: desktop
long: recents
right:
short: back
long: kill app in foreground
bummer that you can't remap buttons using gravitybox
Can you add open notifications to the buttons as well? Good work so far.

It says in the OP that I'm looking to implement the Recents button to work as Menu button, but right now I have only added the action (long press or double tap).

Hi great work i really like it. While using it i noticed that it dont work on all apps. On some apps pressing the button simply do nothing.
working apps: totalCommander, maps, chrome, contacts, boxer email, locus map, qr droid, smartools, titanium backup, waze, windfinder.
not working apps: mortplayer, mindwallet*, officesuite pro, blueterm*, quickpic, telephone, zatoo tv.
Is anyone else having problems with these apps?. What i found out is that also other remapping apps like button remapper wont work with this apps.
*EDIT: the update to OOS 3.2.0 changed nothing.
You need root to do this?

The great thing with OnePlus is that they don't void warranty because of root.

Thanks for the thorough testing! the way how I implemented this mod was to only add it as an option in the drop down menu. The Java code was always there waiting to get called.
Why OnePlus didn't enable it? - that idk, but just maybe they noticed the same as you, it not working with all apps. Just maybe ?
What comes to button remapper, I don't know why it refuses to work as I haven't checked the source for it. If you use my modded apk way instead of xposed module, they should work together.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
I use 'Xposed Additions' for this. It allows to remap each button. You can define an action for a single/double/triple/long press. Works fine on my OP3.
My layout:
- single back: open menu
- double home: open recents
- single recents: back
- long recents: FC current app
- long vol down: prev track
- long vol up: next track
- single vol up and vol down: toggle play/pause

INTRODUCING FLOATING SOFT KEYS

Floating Soft Keys is a simple app to avail you soft key functionality even in exanded desktop mode or if you don't want to wear out your hard buttons.
Floating Soft Keys makes use of Mark Wei's brilliant StandOut Library so if you like this app, please go and thank him in his thread if you haven't already.
FSK requires root to emulate input key events.
FSK is still in its initial phases so it might give some errors or cause some crashes. Please report to me and give logcat if possible. Also tell me your Android version. This will help make the app better.
MAKING THEMES FOR FSK v1.2+For FSK v1.2+, custom icon support has been added. To make your own custom icon theme, simply do the following:
1. Make 4 PNG images for the 4 buttons having square dimensions (default is 130x130)
2. The PNGs should be named as follows (without the quotes):
"back.png" (for back key)
"home.png" (for home key)
"menu.png" (for menu key)
"drag.png" (for the dragging button)NOTE: Names are case sensitive.
2. Put all these PNGs in one folder. Give the theme name to the folder (e.g. "Holo Keys" or "Black Keys" or "Alicia Keys")
3. Put this folder in the Floating Soft Keys folder found in your SD card (it will appear automatically after running the v1.2 app at least once)
Themes thus created can be used in the v1.2 app by selecting "Use custom icon". You will be prompted to select the icon.
If you would like to share your themes, post em in the thread or PM me. Due credit will be given.
As an example, attached below is a theme called "Bluish tint". You can download it, unzip it and place the "Bluish tint" folder (which is present inside the zip) in your Floating Soft Keys folder on your sdcard. Then you can use it as a theme by selecting "Use Custom Icons" in the app.
USER-CREATED THEMESHere I will post links to various themes created by you folks.
Shadowed White Navigation Keys by churapa
Grey icons by proctologist
Theme thread by Gil81
As of version 1.4.0, new icons were made default to suit the Holo theme. But if you liked the old icons better, you can still download em from this thread. The zip file has been attached.
Check the app out on the Play Store or check its code out on GitHub
Beautiful idea congratulations

Volume keys I probably can add, but I think power key is not allowed in Android for security concerns. I will check and let you know.
Can you please specify what caused the crash?? Also, which version of the app were you on?? Version 1.1.1 had a known bug that caused FC on older Android versions. That has been fixed in the latest version.

The force close is because long pressing home activates Google Now, which is not there in Gingerbread. Option to customize home long press action has been added in the new update (v1.3) which will be available on Play Store in an hour or so.
very useful. Thanks!
Usefull app...thankyou
installed on my gnex toro running pa 356
just installed and giving it a good run.thanks for the app,great idea adds some versatility to your device.
Simply perfect!
Runs without issues on Omega ROM v23 on my Galaxy S2 I9100!!
Thanks and good work!
Thanks OP this is just what I've been looking for to have a fullscreen experience on my phone and tablet. Is it possible in future to have to option to add custom buttons with custom actions? That would be awesome. Thanks
Well idea is good... since its in initial state of development lacks many basic feature... the response between touch and action is high.. around 1sec
Well dre are few suggestion but the main from my side is that the drag button could also act as expand button, i mean click on drag should expand or shrink the navibar...
Well i confirm Working great with
Samsung galaxy S2 I9100
Slimbean 4.2.2. Build 7
Dorimanx 9.34
Great job mate...!!! :good:
Didn't find any major bugs apart from some layout issues...
lovely app...
here's my wish list for next releases:
- option to hide cross icon (just make invisible)
- customizable press and long press options for all softkeys
- align keys in vertical position, i'd be great to use with one hand having keys on side of screen
- didn't try to import icons from famous navbar icons thread, i'd like to be able to import from there
Just what I've been after for my XOOM, great work :victory:
UUUUU looks nice
I am probably being stupid here but how do you enable these? Trying to use them on my Motorola Atrix which has a partially working screen but I can't use the Menu hardware button, this would solve the problem!
Anyway to start and stop this app using tasker?

FAQ
Why I cannot uninstall Floating Toucher?
The "Lock screen" feature requires activating device administrator, you have to deactivate it in security settings before installing.
There are two ways to uninstall it:
1. Open floating toucher, go to settings page, find the "Uninstall" option. (Recommend)
2. First, go to "System settings" -> "Security settings" -> "Device administrators" deactivate "Floating Toucher", then uninstall Floating Toucher in a normal way.
How can I hide the floating button temporarily?
When you are doing something in full screen mode, and you don’t want to share the screen with any other apps, Please Long Press the floating button, to hide it to the status bar of the phone.
And if you need it back to screen, please tap it in the status bar, then Floating Toucher can be launched easily.

Do you plan to enable it for users to add widgets in the future? It would mean that frequently used ones would be available all the time instead of just on the home screen.
Awesome floating tools. More themes for it is good in the future.
BTW. using photo as point is a good idea

A while ago, I saw a gif on Google+ demonstrating a concept of Android Power menu in material design, it contained various Circular Reveal animations introduced in Lollipop and various other beautiful animations. I was able to replicate the concept using basic xml animations and Circular Reveal APIs. This repository is the demo of the original concept.

It's a nice app. Something that would be amazing is if it could replace the stock power menu.
I have now also included xposed integration, now you can override system power menu to use material power menu. Update the app to use it as an xposed module
It works on 2nd level, long press to open the regular power menu, press on power off and material power menu will be shown
Please report if it does not work for you
@zimgir124 check out this update if you have xposed installed
amazing!

As I said earlier it works on 2nd level currently, I have not replaced the whole dialog method but only the method where user presses on the power off button.
So the flow would be this-
Enable in xposed
Reboot
Long press power to open regular stock dialog
Press power off button to open material power menu
owsome, cant we make such animations for all apps..its super cool
Thanks for update but seems not work on custom ROM (N5 running Terminus ROM and Xposed framework 3.0 alpha2)
When I press power off then phone goes off.

Is there any other besides Xposed to make this app the default way to use the power menu?!
If I open the app I can click the power button in the app and get a power menu, but even after activating the xposed module and granting root access, it does not show the Material Power Menu when I longpress the physical power button. HTC m7 on Sense Lollipop. Are there any kind of logs I could get to help out?
I would love this......
However....
Im on 5.1...and well.......

Hi, I would like to share an interesting find about an app which adds a flashlight option to our Qslide in the LG G2.
The app is called as QTorch on google play store[Link].
It is a free app and very light weight.
You do not loose on ram and it works beautifully. Simply install it and you will get a Qtorch option in your Qslide app bar.
The app does not add an icon to the Stock LG Home app drawer nor does it allow a widget but simply adds a toggle for flashlight in Qslide. If you use another launcher, it might put an app drawer icon or a widget. But in Stock LG Home Launcher app stays hidden and available in list of Qslide Apps.
App does not even stay in running processes.
I hope you guys enjoy this find. Thanks to the developer who gave us a nice option to make qslide useful

that button combination is imho the best one i ever seen for taking a screenshot on a mobile phone... just when i remember how it was on my old one with power button at the top and volume button on a side - real pain...
but i can understand if you have smaller hands, it can be less confortable...
another ways screenshot can be taken (using g3 or g2 tweakbox)
1. from a power menu
or
2. long pressing one of the navigation bar shortcuts (i.e. recents) to take a screenshot (eventhough that doesn't work for me on lollipop)

You could use the palm swipe gesture. It's been like this on Samsung phones since at least the S2, so outside of a possible party utility, you aren't going to be able to change it

Swipe doesn't work in some apps, like maps.

Like mentiond above, easiest way is to press home button and power button simultaneously. You have to press and hold them at the same to to make it work. If you first press the home button and half a second later the power button, then it won't work. The swipe-to-screenshot gesture is more difficult to use for me as I sometimes need a second attempt to make the screenshot.
How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S7
If you're rooted it would be readily available when you long press the power button. A window will pop up giving you one of many options and one of them is a screenshot command. Which will exit out the window and take a screen shot of your current screen. Pretty damn useful.

what would suddenly change if the phone is rooted? would I have to install some xposed mod or something? I'm just trying to take one handed screenshots like I'm used to. this two handed bs is very annoying

there are apps like "all in one gesture", where you can define a hotkey and add an action like screenshot..
e.g. I use longpress home for screenshot

Depending which ROM you decided to install you'll get the options built in. If you decided to go with a plain root yes xposed will help.

You are welcome! I also love it.
Even nicer is double tap status bar for screen off! This won't cripple smart lock also...

yea man it has some great features for sure. I like your wu reference btw.
3 finger swipe for Nougat screen shot is idiotic
The 3 finger down swipe, in addition to needing two hands and 3 fingers, usually scrolls down whatever screen you're on before the image is captured. Was very annoyed until I found that screen shot could still be added to the power button options. I stand corrected.
