Just got the SGIII and my GNex is now my 16 month old daughters learning device. We installed a whole bunch of baby stuff but the problem is she keeps hitting the home button and exiting the app.
The phone is rooted and I am running the Nova launcher so I could remove all the navbar buttons... But then I won't be able to exit some apps if there isn't a built in exit option...
My idea was to add a HOME button to the power button menu. That way I would have a way to exit but my daughter shouldn't be able to figure it out so easily. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I'm running Codename Android ROM but I'd change if there was one that would work better.
Also, does anyone know how to disable the google search option when you drag your finger up from the bottom... I can't stand it, I always seem to do it by mistake myself.
Thanks,
Jim
i dont think this is possible..
Ok I figured as much. Any other ideas how I could hide home button but still have access to it via some other means?

This sounds exactly what you're after. It lets you remove/restore the navbar from the power menu, preventing unwanted exits.
Hi Experts,
First of all Marry Christmas to all of you
I have a question.... Is there a faster way or option to close all the windows after browsing the websites and go back to the default homepage or home screen ???
After done with browsing the internet. I pressed that little double square icon key next to the address bar and close all the windows one by one. Then I got a blank page (about:blank) instead of my default homepage (www.google.com).
When i press the 'Back key' it keep going back to all the websites that i browsed previously. I have to press the 'Back key' many times until i got the default homepage or home screen.
Any advice would be appreciated
Sorry for my poor english.
So are you seeking an answer as to how to make www.google.com your default web page?

Hi there,
Thank you for your reply. Really appreciated it.
Nope, i am seeking for an answer as how to close all the windows at once and get back to the home screen.
I have tried press the home key button and it does get back the home screen. But when i pressed the internet icon on the home screen, i got a blank page instead of my default homepage (google.com)
And when i pressed the back key, it goes back to the previously visited websites.....
I don't have this problem with the Galaxy S3.

Hi there
Thank you for your suggestion. I have done that. And I got a blank page after closing all the windows. Is that's the way how it should be ?
I thought it should return to my default home page.......

That's how it is my friend....all credit goes to samsung
Just pinch in the browser and close the Tabs.
If you're rooted, check out the CSC features thread over in the original Android development section, I remember seeing one for adding a quit/exit feature to the stock web browser.

Hi all,
l upgraded my phone from a Mt4G to a note 2, and have been Very pleased with it.
The only thing 1 miss, though, is the hardware search button on the bottom right. I understand That long- pressing the Menu key functions as a search , but it doesn't work in all apps . Notably, in Chrome for example. To get a Search going, I have to reach All the way to the top of the Screen to the address bar - a LONG reach on this screen!
please let me know if lm if I'm missing something here- Some additional function that makes up for my missing search key!
Thanks
Lee
Well youll get used to not having it. I used a lot of old androids with the hardware search button but now i dont even remeber using it.

You could always install LMT Launcher on XDA, then assign a search key through the pie controls.

Got my G3 today and have been spending a good amount of time setting it up.
I am rooted and have Xposed w/G3 Tweaksbox.
I have a couple of things that still annoy me.
Is there a way to swap the behavior of the recent apps button? I want short press to be menu and long press to be recent apps. I figured out I can add a menu button using G3 Tweaksbox that does exactly that, but I can't remove the stock recent apps button, so I have 4 buttons there and I don't really like that.
When I drag up the recent apps button, I get a little semi circle selector with voicemate, search and quickmemo+ options. I have no intention of ever using voicemail or quickmemo+. Is there a place to change the 3 things that come up there?

Most modern apps use the 3 dot menu button in the app interface and that is why most modern phones tablets do away with dedicated menu button so why would you want to do this?

You'll get used to the new buttons in no time. Just give it a little time and you'll look back at the S3 thinking the button layout was dumb.i had an S3 and S4. Love the G3 and the on screen buttons!

I have the exact thing you want; but I don't want it. I'm rooted with Xposed framework and I randomly rebooted my phone earlier to have it turn back on with a functioning menu button. I looked through all the modules I had downloaded and even booted into safe mode but to no avail. I desperately need help with this.
Sorry that's not what you want, but if anyone knows how to get that, that's why I want.

Sorry for reposting this... Thought I posted in a different thread but I guess I'm wrong. Please don't crucify me
As a long time samsung user, I'd say try without the menu button and see how you get on first.
But you can change the swipe up (and thats a swipe up from anywhere on the navigation bar btw, try it out), using tweaksbo, it's under:
theme > ring pad
And you can either turn it off, or add up to 5 custom apps.
The recent apps button is kinda key to android, it's like asking to remove the home button. Maybe instead of adding a menu button, make double tap on home be the menu button instead? Then you'd still have your three icons, and wouldn't lost out on recent apps, which you should end up using more now it's easier to reach (as opposed to a long press on the home button on samsung).
As noted most apps should use the 3 dot menu button so unless you have an outdated app you use regularly you really shouldn't even want a dedicated menu button. Ask the developer to update the app. It's the way forward and most all modern phones don't have a dedicated menu button, even the S5 replaced the menu button with the multitask button. It you really can't adapt ask the G3 Tweaks xposed developer if he can add a menu button option as the G3 already has the framework to change nav buttons.
How can you change them?

Just use the LG Display menu in settings to remove that button and xposed to add other button options. I'd like to know what people use, I'm on a 4 button system. I'll post pics when I get a chance
I somehow managed to change them on a system level if that's even possible. I disabled all modules and even booted into safe mode and they were still there. I'd like to change it back on whatever level it got modified. And the settings app crashes when I try to change the button combination.
The OP did not want to replace the resents button with menu, but only change its behavior: short press - menu, long press- resents. I am very interested in the same setup.

In TweaksBox under theme tweaks, then ring pad. It let's you select one in the free version. In the donate version you can select up to 5 shortcuts in the ring pad or disable it altogether.
settings / display / home touch buttons / button combination
I think they are standard options and not something I've added in. let's you add/remove a button such as the menu button or recent apps. screen is wide so I use 5 buttons.

personally don't use program #1 the ring selector as it is accidentally opening all the time with use of the back button.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hold the recents and thats your menu button. Thats a default setting i believe. No need for g3 tweakbox unless a longpress isnt what you want. Idk which model you have but the tmobile version doesnt let you add the menu button on the nav bar.

G3 Tweaksbox,theme, ring pad, disable ring pad.
The LG G2, had the most wonderful left and right cursor arrow keys that showed up in the row of the home button (front touch buttons they were called on the G2) anytime you launched a keyboard to type.
But this feature seems omitted on the G3..?? No please say it aint so!
How do I get those back?
Not sure if this is what you are looking for since I never owned the G2. When keyboard is up, long press on space bar. This brings up your left and right cursors.

Thanks, but no that's not it. On the G2 there are permanent cursor keys on the far left and right of the front home buttons. Just to the left and right of the Back button and Recent Apps button. They only show up with a keyboard is displayed.
Anyone know how to get these on the G3?

These arrows. Does anyone know how to get these arrows on the g3?
See them at the bottom left and right of the screen on the nav bar.
Please help!
Side load the G2 keyboard. The G3 one doesn't have the arrows so you will need another one

Great suggestion Pilz. Two questions:
1) Are you sure functionality of the left/ right cursor keys on the Nav Bar are built into the LG keyboard? I only ask because those keys show up even when the LG Keyboard isn't being used. I usually use TouchPal or SwiftKey.
2) I attempted to side load the G2 apk be backing up the app using ES Files Explorer. When I tried to install it on the G3 it said not insatlled. Do I do this by simply opening the apk file or do I have to do something with the .odex and .systag files? BTW - I'm not rooted yet.
3) Also when I tried to install the G2 keyboard apk, it said it was going to UPDATE the G3 LG Keyboard. Know of a way to have it load as secondary version of the app instead of replace it?
Thank you so much!
If you want to sideload the G2 keyboard you may need root to move the odex and or lib files into the appropriate folders. Some apps work without this, but since it's a system app you will more then likely need root. I don't like the G3's keyboard (I use the google one with the material overlay). Here is a screenshot of my G3 keyboard for reference it doesn't have the arrows on the bottom. The good news is that if you hold the space bar then you can move the cursor as seen below. I hope this helps.
I think you are correct about needing to be rooted to move the odex files. I'll get to that later.
As a workaround I downloaded the new Google keyboard also. I was wondering though how you got the arrow keys for the cursor. Holding down the space bar for me prompts the keyboard change menu to select a different keyboard all together...??

Great tip about holding down the spacebar ! Then I can slide left or right to move the cursor for edits !
That isn't working for me..? What version are you using? I thought I downloaded the latest L version. Mine prompts a keyboard change.

It's only on the LG keyboard which I don't use. I only use the google one I posted the screenshots of the LG one for the other member to show him the feature.
