[Q] Menu soft button?

I guess this is more of a reason to try a different rom but is there a way to replace recent apps with the menu button? I dont like how ICS moved the settings and additional options to the "..." which requires more clicks etc.... thoughts? Thx!

doesn't really require more clicks... considering anything that would be hidden by the menu button is now in the "..." menu. You're either clicking the menu key, or clicking the new menu key in the action bar.
But anyways. You need to install a custom ROM or mod to get a soft menu key next to the multitasking button at all times.

[Q] Can I Add A Menu SoftKey On 4.0.4?

Can I add a menu softkey on 4.0.4? Would this menu softkey work for all apps? I really dislike it when the menu button shows up on the stop right of the screen on some apps and really miss having a permanent menu button at the bottom.
I know that bigxie's apex 1.2 has the option to add both search and menu soft keys to the nav...pretty sure there are a couple other roms that do the same

AOKP Build 26 (4.0.3) has this as an option under ROM control - works well! It even lets you change the color.

[Q] CM 10: Nav Bar Power button

As the subject states, I trying to add a power button in the nav bar. Like the one in AOKP.
I did some research, there are easy ways to add a power button HD2 run CM10
Also there are ways to add a search and menu button for gnex running cm10 but no power button option.
Does anyone know of a way to add power button on a galaxy nexus running cm10?

If that isn't possible yet, I remember being able to reconfigure the nav button on my Nexus S, Is that possible with the galaxy nexus? That way I can use the search button to lock the screen, until someone figures it out.
It's a pretty easy edit if you have the ability to successfully decompile and recompile the systemUI apk. It was an edit that I used to do on my fascinate (search to power) and then to aokp in early versions. I pestered one of the devs enough for them to add power in to rom control .
good day.

LineageOS 16: how to config menu button ?

Hi,
some applications needs a menu button to get all functionality, but my phone do have only "back - home - recent".
In developer options I found a flag to kill apps with long press of back button.
is there any way to get the "menu button" as long press home or recent?
or any other solution ?
Thanks for your hints and tips
Settings buttons
Sorry, this was the first I was looking for
there are only settings for power and volume (hardware buttons), nothing else. Nothing about navigation bar and his buttons.
could this be device specific customized in LOS by devices maintainer?
