Can any1 tell me where's the settings options to press/click when u r in a app or home screen? Normally just either holding recent or back button.
Are you talking about the menu button? That's been depreciated for a while. The few apps that still need it have an extra button on the navbar. Home menu stuff is accessed through long presses.

Damn, this sucks. Yes, 3 dot menu button. I have an app doesn't show menu button.
For home screen long press all those 3 nav buttons, none working. Except, long press home button, Google now pops up.

I don't know about the app. I suppose you could use something like Button Savior to create a menu button.
What are you trying to do with your home screen? Try long pressing an empty space to get launcher options.

Yep, thought about button savior. Not much options.
Shoot, wish there's 3 dot menu options available at all times without rooting the phone. Bummer.

I have used this app before. . And its a wonderfull addon to the ui... But wen u double press the home button, you get the voice talk... And there is no search button for the galaxy note.. Has anyone successfully made it to run on the galaxy note..? If so how
Just downloaded this app, quite useful. WRT your question, I went into the voice app when you double tap the home button, then settings and disabled the option to launch when double tap home key. Now on one press of the home button brings up the power strip and then a second press takes me to my home screen.
Hope that helps

Thanx.. I didnt know that you could disable the double tap to open voice app.. I installed it and set it.. Wen i tap it once it opens the powerstrip and i have to tap again to go to the home screen.. Isnt their any setting on it so as to double tap to directly go to home without waiting for powerstrip to appear on your first click??
I've been a Power Strip user for quite a long time but then I switched to Wave Launcher. Does the same job but activating it is less troublesome for me (swipe up from the very bottom of the screen). Plus it looks better in my opinion.
search? press and hold the left soft button.

How do u set it up to use powerstrip?? Did u mean to long press the menu button?? I cant make it to work... How did u set it up?
Yup, long press (well, not that much, it appear really quickly). Btw I use launcher pro, but I don't think it's a feature of it (I mean, will probably do the same whit touchwizz or else).
Is there any way to change the capacative touch buttons, without rooting, especially the "menu button".
On my S4, the menu button did exactly that, open up a menu where one was available. And holding the home button would display open apps.
Whereas now holding the home button opens Google Now (I have the Now Launcher) and the menu button shows the recent apps.
This happens regardless if TouchWiz or Now launchers are used.

Yes. Download All in One Gestures here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
Go to the Hard Keys tab and customize them as you'd like. Tap the Plus button at the bottom to add the Recents key so you can customize it too.

So I'm able to get the home button to work as I want.
Just the "recent apps" button is still not giving me a menu button, as there is no option to do so in All in one Gestures :/

Sorry, but I wasn't clear. Did you try to long-press the recent button? On the S5 that opens menus...

On S6 long press recent button gives you split screen (multi-window) selections!

Well that's silly. I never use split screen, but everyone uses menus... O-well. Thanks!
It used to be possible to long press on the task button and get the menu for most apps.
What happened to it?

I had a piece of plastic on the home button that would not let me setup the fingerprint option but nothing on the back or menu buttons.

Long press on the back button works for me. I have on app. Shopping List that used the left side as a menu button but that won't work now so I tried long pressing the back button here too. No go. It acts as if I repeatedly pressed the back button. I ended up leaving a review for it saying they needed to update it for Marshmallow.

Thanks a bunch. Need the menu button to search bookmarks in xmarks mobile.
I have the sm-g930f. long press back button does not bring up menu. Installed Nova Launcher long press back button brings up menu now.
Mine flashes whilst holding the back button but doesnt stay...
There are some apps in MM which dont have the menu button show up (3 dots). As such, there is no way to access the app's menu. Is there a way to do this with the S6?

Have you tried holding the recent apps button (left of home)?

Yes I have, it brings up Samsung's multi window feature. Holding down back simply closes the app.
In Lollipop there was a flaoting 3 dots button, now there isn't.
You have to keep holding the back button for the menu to pop up (right of home).
Cant seem to find the setting anymore to press and hold the home button for the assistant.
Now I need to do that with the power button. Not sure if it was removed or changed, but I cant find it.
Any help?
Thanks

It's on by default on mine. Settings > System > Gestures > Press and hold power button.
Sorry I meant to say that I liked being able to press and hold the home button, but it seems this feature was removed?
Seeing how there is no home button anymore and Google is only focused on supporting gesture navigation, that sounds about right.

It's right there in System>gestures>System navigation>Gear icon next to 3 button navigation> Toggle hold home for assistant.
Thank you! I thought it was gone because the setting didnt transfer and couldnt find it.
I am not a fan of the gesture navigation
