I searched side button, also searched google. My mother-in-law got a Droid Pro and this button is haunting her.
How do I change what this button does, and can I make it open certain apps?
Please help.... it's my mother-in-law
Shortcuts > Settings > Quick Launch
Edit the side button function. Found it on the Motorola site. JESUS!
I can't believe it doesn't take a picture in the camera app!
Jeeze (again)!
Clarification for some users.
Add the widget: Shortcuts -> Settings -> QuickLaunch then tap on it.

Trying to modify the SystemUI.apk (or Framework-res.apk) with the idea of hiding the Google button from the recent app panel - "status_bar_recent_launch_google_button". (long press Home button > Recent > Google Search button - bottom, middle)
Can anybody point me the right xml file(s) and the right modifications? I've been trying to figure it out for quite some time but what confuses the hack out of me is the fact that both "tw_status_bar_recent_panel.xml" files (in res > layout and layout-land) already have the original status as "android:visibility="gone" - although the Google button is there and very visible. Actually all three buttons originally have the visibility set to "gone", yet they all show???? I must be looking in the wrong place!!
I know the option is available in NottachXposed but this is part of a personal project so I would appreciate answering only in the direction I'm asking, without suggesting alternatives.
Thanks a lot.
Here is the temp fix guys the problem is a lot of apps detect if there is a hardware menu button and omit showing the soft 3 dot button common in a lot of apps. The S5 has no dedicated menu button but it does have the long press home button option to launch the More options/Menu button, however out Galaxy S6 models do not have this option. BUT some apps still detect it and delete their in app button.
Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
At the top right slide the off button to on to enable the Assistant menu icon on all screens. Then click on the Edit option. In the edit menu deselect all the buttons you do not need by hitting the red negative on the icons (-) in the upper part of the screen. (note it has two buttons that you cannot remove Home Screen, and Menu Settings) on the bottom half of the page hit the green plus sign (+) on the More Options button (It has 3 dots). (note there are lots of other buttons you can add)
Now on all screens is a little round button with 4 dots on it, it appears on all screens in all programs and is floating. There is the More options button now which is the software menu button we are missing =). You can just go back and disable Assistant menu afterward or like me leave this handy button on because I have multiple programs that do this.
Hope this helps guys Cheers! :good:

Yeah I tried that it did not work in the app that I run that I could not get to the menu with, I will try another program and see if I can get that to work. I also tried many of the other options I could find through the searches.

Not in all applications. Must be coded in the app.
This works for me! Galaxy S6, Marshmallow
Thank you for taking the time to share this information! I am posting the link to your post within the app's review mechanism to help other users of the app I am having the 'missing menu button' issue with.

You can also download the free app from the Google play store called all in ones gestures. You can use it to remap all of the buttons on any samsung phone.

No? Or please tell me what "***" menu is called in that app, it seems missing.
Maybe there is no this func, but I saw on the demo in youtube that there should be a possibility to customize hardware buttons behavior. Also should be possible to enable swipe on Home button.
If you type in search box in General Settings keyword "camera" it will show you that there should be some settings in Buttons, to set behavior. But if you press on context link - it shows button menu but very limited.
Do you have one?
Thanks

If I'm not wrong swipe on Home is available on ZUI home, not Cyanogen OS.
On Buttons menu you can set home long press action, home doube tap action (doesn't work on latest update).
I personally use "All In One Gestures" app to configure buttons

Thanks a lot. I will try!
The reason is I would like to set a camera on double tap action and cannot find how to do it by default.

In Settings -> About Phone turn on Advanced mode. Then you can configure buttons. I have it set up just as you'd like it, double tap for camera, works perfectly for me with latest update.

Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can help me with a small annoyance I am having with my 7 Edge. In most/all of the previous stock S phones that I've had, pressing the home button 3 times quickly would enable negative view (invert the color).
Unfortunately the 7 Edge does not appear to have this feature. I've had a google around and have come back with nothing. The only thing I found was going in via the Accessibility/ Vision and enabling it that way. This is kind of annoying.
So is there a way to
a) enable the triple home button press, b) create an icon/shortcut to the vision settings, so that could be set on the edge slide thing. (as in directly into vision section of Accessibility. Not general settings)
The phone is not rooted and i would prefer to keep it that way.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Among the Accessibility settings there should be a Direct Access menu with the option to enable the triple home button push and associate it with the color schema change.

Thank you very much, that works.
What does "Menu button" option do if check or uncheck the box?
Settled in Settings-->Phone-->Display, gestures & buttons-->Buttons-->"Menu button (check box)"
TNX
When checked it adds an on screen floating menu button in legacy apps that don't already provide an on screen menu button.
It is essentially an option for backwards compatibility with apps designed for the era of Android devices they had physical menu buttons.
Tnx a lot!
Just one more question:
- How to lock one (or many) apps in Recent Apps? When i click Clear All that app not to clear and stay always active?
I need that but i dont know a sollution
