Hello, is there any option or app that can hide home touch buttons? I know that on G models You can find that option i menu, but there is option in K8.
Thanks
You can do that with app, search for 'immersive mode' on play store.
This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner can do that it just need to give some permissions via adb

Hi, an app is stuck in a force close loop. I cannot access the homescreen or settings. Upon reboot it does the same thing. Is there a safe mood I can boot into to uninstall the app? Thanks.
Edit: everything on the phone is functioning besides the home screen. I can longpress the search button and make a Google search which opens the browser. I can press notifications on the status bar which will open that app. Just whenever I try to go to the home screen, the app I installed will force close. Just wondering if there is some remote way to access my installed apps so I can uninstall it. Maybe some way to bring up the settings menu besides the traditional menu->settings. Any help is appreciated; thanks.
The voice search works.. anyone know of a voice command that may open settings?
Hello everyone!
Saw the S5 announcement few days ago and noticed the changes made to the button layout. I'd like to know if there's a way to remap the menu button to work as a recent apps button. And better yet if it's possible to assign the "menu" function to a long press. I've searched Google but all the alternatives I see are for HTC phones or for onscreen buttons.
Thanks in advance!

Look for an app called 'Xposed Additions'. It will do both the things you want.
Installed it. Tried to configure the remapping but it's not doing anything. I hit the "remap" and a window pops up that says key code and it appears that it's waiting for some input, I hit a button but nothing happens.

Forget it, just nailed it. Reinstalled, rebooted and all is working as I want to. Thank you!

Xposed Addition doesnt support KK.
Is there another way for this other than Gravity Box for TW Kitkat?

How about MenuBeGone, I'm running this on my 4.4.2 SM-N9005
And it got option to select apps that you don't want to have overflow button on them (like on Action Memo that 3-dot menu replaces delete -button, so you can't delete any memos.. but where do you need menu at all on Action Memo, so just uncheck it on MBC and you're good)
Edit: And it also can remap long press on menu button to show menu (while menu button is remapped to open recent apps)

Which build are you on? (also towelrooted?)
So you remapped menu button=recent and long press=menu. (like on the S5?)
I dont get what you mean with the Action memo though. But from the Description of the App I can tell that youre talking about the Whitelisting?
Thanks.

Yes, some apps get "broken" look when 3-dot menu is enabled on them (like contacts) and yes, long press on "settings" button opens menu, while short opens recent tasks.
About Action Memo see screenshot: menu button "hides" detelete if not whitelisted from MBC
Edit: to make it clear, that module enables "3-dot menu button" on all applications by default. From module settings you can disable that button on selected apps. That module also sets devices settings button to open recent tasks and long press to open settings (so by long pressing you can reach menu also on apps you have disabled to use 3-dot menu)

I got it, thanks. Tried out and its working fine. In Nova launcher the Menu button blinks a lot though - on long press.
There is a certain delay. But I think i will try xposed additions some time later but for now its fine i guess
Thank you!
So i mainly bought my SM-p580 tablet for drawing on it but im running on a recurrent problem.
When i lay my arm to rest so i can draw i keep pressing the BACK hardware key or the recent apps key and its very uncomfortable
Im already using All in one Gestures but still i keep pushing it even with delay time so i was looking for an app that may completely disable the buttons according to a configuration that may vary for each app.
Is this possible or available?
Same here. Did you find any solution yet? Currently I'm using button mapper to disable multiwindows

So you want to just use soft keys? If so, there is a code for that when you search up soft keys enable on https://www.google.com
The code (you will need root access and have ES File Explorer and go to ./system/build.prop) to enable Lollipop theme soft keys is qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 .
To disable the capacitative keys (you will need root access and have ES File Explorer and go to ./system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl) is to open the sec_touckey.kl file and put a # symbol before both of the following lines:
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
(Remember you have to find these two lines of codes and put the # so it can disable it)
Close and save changes.
If you have a device with capacitative keys and have lights behind them, in order to disable them go to Settings > Buttons > Backlight
and remove the tick from "Illuminate Buttons"
Reboot and I hope it worked!
Another option that i use is to turn the tablet 180 degrees so that the buttons are now on the top (with screen rotation on).

hey. maybe coming late but i got a simple solution. Download Game launcher, Game tuner and Game optimizing service newest versions from ap k mi rror. Now enable game launcher and tools under options, add an app to game launcher and start it from there. while in the app there will be a very small red button. press it and press disable hardwarekeys

Is it automatically enabled soft key buttons? If not only home button is working for the app?
Thanks

Hi, I can't seems to make game launcher work, game tuner is running fine but game launcher still need to download game tuner, what version do you use ?
Hi there
I figured out how to change the long press home button to other 'Assist Apps' but really I'd just like to change it to a direct app shortcut (Google Voice Search).
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks!

how did you change the home button?
search for home app in settings
Use Secure Settings
search for JB ExeNow on play store. This assist app can let you set which app to launch.
His other app JB Locknow is my favourite app for triggering lockscreen until Fingerprint lockscreen comes in (Better use other like Greenify to use other lock method otherwise you can do FP unlock from sleep - forced to unlock with pattern/code)
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
