Have been only using galaxy android phone, S7 they changed the buttons functions. The menu buttons is now "recently opened app scroll", and holding down the home button now gives google assistance or s voice and menu function is now assigned to holding the back button.
How can I get my S7 to function like previous galaxy phones? Menu button is menu function, holding the home button should be recently opened app scroll. I have been using this for 7 years and it is really annoying to learn a new layout.
Thanks.
I don't think you can do it other than using on screen buttons. The menu button hasn't been used in over 4 years IIRC
I'm using Button Mapper for changing button functionality.

Hi
does anyone know how to remap keys, I would like to remap the green call button to list recntly used apps, the one that we get when we long press home key.
Really miss the alt-back key combination of blackberry.
i think a quick key to app switcher will make any device really faster

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press and hold the 'Home' button and it'll show you the list of the last 6 recently used apps.
thanks,
but i do know the long press home button, or press and hold home key.
I want to remap this function to the green call button instead.
so that i can get to the application switcher in one key stroke instead of pressing and holding
You know, like Samsung Galaxy SII can take a screenshot by clicking two buttons at the same time.
Is there an app that can trigger events by pressing combinations of buttons?
Or how about an app that can remap keys? For example, making the volume key do what the Home key is supposed to do?
Here you go. Just found it only moments after reading your post.
Looks pretty freaking handy.

Thanks!
Can it also define button combinations (a-la taking a screenshot in SGS II)?
I made a MOD for the Galaxy S III which remaps the Menu key to the home button. The issue I'm having is that when I do this, it also enables the long press on the normal menu capacitive button even though a normal press is disabled.
Does anyone know how to disable the long press of a button?
I know there is some button remapper thing but I'm pretty sure that's only for the newer phones like the Nexus where those buttons actually show up on the screen whereas are are 4 dedicated buttons (but still capacitive).
I was wondering if it's possible to change the soft key function of the search button to say the multitask button because I never use the search button and I do use the multitask button quite frequently, so it would be a lot faster to press the search button instead of holding down the home button.
I've already read through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596085 and used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1524858 for remapping my search button to my power button, along with using volume for wake. I have done both of these, and that works just fine.
But, my problem is a little different.
My original power button didn't just stop working, it is actually malfunctioning. Meaning that the power button is being hit at random times, even when I don't press it (or the search button which is now my power button). It is extremely annoying and difficult to use the phone.
Does anyone know of a way to disable the power button completely? I'll settle to using search for off and volume buttons for wake, but I need a way to disable the original power button. The button remapper app from the thread above includes a way to remap or disable every button, except the original power button.
Thanks for your help
It says it all in the second link you posted. Read it all.

No.
Like I said, I want to DISABLE the power button completely, because it's malfunctioning. I have ALREADY remapped it to the search key, but the original power button keeps pressing itself, turning the screen on and off, bringing up the boot menu, etc.
The button remapper app allows you remap or disable every button EXCEPT the power button. So while you can remap search to be power, you couldn't remap power to be search (or in my case, disable power completely).
Anyone?
You would have to physically disable the button yourself.
I don't think its possible to fully power off your phone, but what you can do is map the volume up or down buttons as a wake key. I myself want to do this and am still searching for the solution, but if you want to take a crack at it:
The file buttons you want to edit should be in here. somewhere(system/user/keylayout) Root explorer can help you edit the layout without changing the format. That's as far as I can take you for now
