Is there any way to do this, or will the upcoming CM9 allow you to? I'm so used to Android 2.x, sometimes I hit an onscreen button because it's at the bottom.
Hello,
Coming from a Galaxy Nexus I miss having my back button the left side and the menu on the right, is it possible to swap these on the GS3?
Thanks!

I remembering seeing settings in Slim for remapping the hardware keys... and setting different functions on long press, etc...
hi everyone. was wondering if there is a way to swap the placement of the back and switch windows/application on screen buttons. I would prefer to have the back button on the right since that is how it is on my galaxy s4 and am use to it being on the right side of the home. button. any help would be appreciated.

Me too (also have an S4). I would love to add the settings button also. Ideally, I guess I need extended desktop and whatever that half circle bar that's hidden until you touch the right side of the screen is called...
My first time here. Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 running cosmic rom cyanogenmod 11 kitkat 4.4.4.
I'm happy with everything you could think of except one small thing that i should be able to ignore but i can't.
When i pull down on the bar at the top of my screen, on the top right corner there are two buttons; one for Halo and the other one flips the screen to quick settings. When i press it and go to quick settings i can't go back to my notifications using the same button because it's gone.
I know it's not very significant but it bothers me.
Any advice would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
Hi to everybody, how Can i switch soft buttons?
For example set back button on right?
Thank you
You'll need to root and install Xposed and the Gravity Box module.
I dont see why phone makers these days domt have that integrated, i mean if your gonna go with softkeys instead of the keys beimg on the device atleast make it so we can customize, specially google why dont they just add it as an android feature.

I personally don't use that, I don't like the Samsung layout of having the recent button on the right, it just feels off.
Few devices actually come with the option of swapping the back and recent buttons i assumed the Z Play did too.
I miss that!! few phones I've had gave that option I prefer back button on the right was the first thing I checked in settings even developer options as I've found it in there before , ?

Lg phones and oneplus has got this feature... It's frustrating this because i prefer the back button on right side
The back button is an arrow (or triangle) pointing left. Your VCR rewind button was on the left. Your mp3 player's restart/previous track was on the left. Your web browser back button is on the left. Why should your smartphone be any different?

Thank goodness I've never been into Samsung. Only Samsung I used was the Galaxy Nexus, which wouldn't let me install Samsung Apps!

Heh heh. It's so nice being back on a proper button layout with the MZP!
This is the main reason I root my Moto's, gravity box, swap back and recents, along with delete clock and change battery icon.
As for the layout, since GB 2.3.4 with my Sony Ericsson Arc, my back button was on the Right, my Samsung S3 & Note 3/Note 10.1 was the same, & Moto Nexus 6/X Pure/Z Play All had to follow.
For any OG Android user, the back button was on the Right, and will always be on the Right. And I use it more than the recents so it makes one hand usage more natural. Just my ¢.02

Lol, would be nice to have the option for those who like it. I like back on the left for one handed use, as it's easier for me to reach than tucking my thumb up hard right.
Just goes to show, different strokes for different folks!
