[Completed] Remapping hardware keys on a Galaxy on5 - XDA Assist

Hey, before anything thank you for your time. So I'm coming from the Samsung Galaxy Light and very much prefer the old hard key setup. For instance the recent apps button was the menu button and I simply had to long-press the home button to view recent apps. I wish to revert to these old settings. I have already rooted this device and flashed/installed xposed framework. I figured out how to to edit the key layout file called "Generic.kl" and have already changed the recent apps key to menu, however I cannot figure out how to change long-press home to the recent apps key and have decided to search for help. I wasn't able to find anything on search engines concerning my issue and have resorted to this forum.
What do I have to do to remap longpress home to recent apps on the Galaxy on5?

[Completed] [Q] HomeScreen Shortcuts/modification

Hello All,
I ve been spending the weekend customizing my Home screen . I am using Nova launchers , icon packs , xposed Gravity Box,playing with widgets etc.
I wanted to know if there was a app/Shortcut/workaround applied to the leftmost homescreen such that when i swipe right it opens an app or google now ( similar to the feature in action launcher to open goolenow).
Also is xfloatingwindows working on Lollipop and are there any good apps that I could apply only on the Leftmost and Rightmost Home Screen.
Thanks for all the Help

[Completed] move an app to a new position

I have a Samsung galaxy 4 tablet 8" with 16GB ROM.
I want to move an app. When I press down on the app and slide it to a new position, it reverts back to the original position. How do I get the App to remain in the new position?
Hi there,
You must have in setting some option ticked where you can lock/unlock desktop. I remember some of the ROMs/Launchers had a "lock desktop" option under settings, where you would have to "unlock desktop" to be able to re-position icons or widgets

[Completed] Capturing input from unknown hardware button

Hi all,
I've recently started Android development for a personal project. The purpose is adding a custom launcher on my car's infotainement system (=Android system based on version 4.1.1).
Currently I'm searching for a way to capture input of one of the physical hardware buttons. There are two types of this button: one for controlling the volume and one for controlling the brightness of the screen.
In my launcher however, I'd like to use this second button for controlling the selection in the main menu, like BMW and Audi systems where you turn and push the knob. You can turn and push this button the same way.
The only question is: how can I capture these inputs in code? Buttons like HOME and BACK have predefined constants, but what about this 'turn'-button?
Any help is much appreciated!
Greetings!
PS:
As I'm new to the forum, I can't post an image (yet) to give you guys a better view of the button.

[Completed] Navigation bar for phones with hardware keys.

I know qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 adds a nav bar to roms that don't have it. But this is only an emulation right?
So how to actually enable the nav bar? Edit key layout by adding VIRTUAL flag? Can someone explain this "key" thing? How to make android think that hardware keys never existed and virtual buttons are all it has?

How to disable all Keyboard Shortcuts?

Hello World,
I have a SG Note, with Lineage 7.1 and a bluetooth keyboard attached to it.
It is *highly* unnerving, when I am in the middle of some other task and the browser pops uo, because I touched the wrong key combination by accident.
Yet even so I found the button in "Settings" where it lists the pre-defined app shortcuts, I can not find the option to change/disable the same.
I'd be grateful for any help here.
