Change Capacative Buttons

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 :/

Is open app drawer an option in this program? I'm not seeing it in there. : \

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!

Turning off screen without Power Button?

Is there any way to turn off the screen (lock the device) without the need to press the right power button?
for example, with OPO you could long press the home button and the device got locked.
thanks!

you can use Custom Navigation bar and add a power button to either side of the nav bar

If you run Nova launcher, you can go to Nova settings, gesture & input and select screen lock for your desired gesture.

actually i just downloaded this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simi.screenlock
and its working

If you use the edge panel, use softkey edge. It has a screen lock button.

i think theres a lock option in the assistant menu,furthermore you can use the bxactions app with nova launcher and remap actions to lock the screen.

I don't like gestures... AT ALL

I prefer to do everything by the button. I hate swipe left for this and swipe up for that. will the pie update take away my 3 buttons at the bottom? if there is one reason to stay away from pie for me, it would be enforcing the use of gestures vs pressing buttons.

Hi! No, on Pie you can still use the navigation bar buttons. The "one button navigation" option on the Moto app stays in Pie and you can toggle it on or off, to switch between buttons or the gesture pill.

NavBar Button options Mod available w/o Custom/MagiskROM?

Hi Guys,
is there a NavBar Button mod available to change the button behavior (single tap, double tap, long press actions)?
I would like to start the camera app with double tap on virtual home/start button.
On my OP5 it was standard to open camera via double tap on hardware home/start button.
I know that many Custom/Magisk ROMs add this functionality to change the button behavior, but is there an option to do this w/o a custom ROM?
Thank you in advance.

I doubt it

Haven't heard of any...

Why not just use the gestures? With the screen off or showing the ambient display, if you draw a circle on the screen it'll open the camera. (May need to turn the option on)

ewww navbars. There is no similar or advanced functionality to perform on navbars. Just use hardware key, gesture based functionality from xposed edge (or some Magisk mod). Almost anything you want to take further requires root/unlocked bootloader.

SW System buttons shortcuts customization in OOS12.1?

Hi. I wanna ask if anyone knows a way to get back the software system buttons shortcuts customization in OOS 12.1 with rooted phone. By these shortcuts i mean for example double clicking overview button (square) for dragging the navigation bar down and other useful things that were customizable in OOS11. Now we just have long press overview for separated screen, double click overview for sliding through active apps and long press home buton (circle) for google assistant with no ability to change any of these in settings AFAIK.
