Is it possible to add a full size menu button much like the search button was added. I tried ICS on an older phone and the menu button seemed to work in even the native apps. I hate the look of the dot one that comes up in stock ics and with the mod to make it appear all the time. Ideal for me would be to make the button layout identical to my droid incredible. So home, menu, back, and search. Hold home down for the app switch. Hold menu for keyboard. Hold search for voice search. This has to be possible somehow since its all software keys now.
When u mod ur softkeys to include a menu button, does that menu button work for apps like Google Voice and Chrome, which normally have their menu button on the upper right hand of the screen?

Hi Guys,
Strange problem, but on my HOX after flashing LeeDroid, my Menu button in the top right is missing from Play Store (so I can't access My Apps) I just have the spyglass. Also the menu button is missing in some apps (Like in Zedge)
Any ideas?
That means your menu will be either
1 recent apps button
2 long press recent apps button
3 home button
4 long press home button

Does tapping the recent apps button bring up the menu instead?

No, recent apps brings up recent apps as does a long press. Home button long press also brings up recent apps.
But good suggestions all the same! It's going to be something simple I bet....
Do you hate the physical home button like I do?
Do you wish you could use the capacitive menu key instead of home, and assign much rarely used menu key to the physical button?
Just flash the attached file in Recovery.
The second file is for returning to the original setup if you wish.
awesome gonna try this

I especially like how the physical button still wakes the device. so I can hit it to wake the device, then double tap menu for svoice
i wonder if there is a way to make the "back" button long press = context menu. then can avoid the physical button all together
Hey I tried it on my vzw gs3 and it didn't work. :O

This is for the international Galaxy S3. For the USA versions, there is a separate forum on XDA since most things aren't compatible.

I think context menu might slow things down. But I understand where you're coming from, we have 5 options for 2 capacitive buttons so 1 option will have to be assigned to the physical button. I guess it depends on individuals on which button is the least used. For me is the Search button. Maybe a proposal like this :
Capacitive Menu Button
Short Press : Home
Long Press : Menu
Physical Home Button
Short Press : Home and Wake
Long Press : Search
Capacitive Back Button
Short Press : Back
Long Press : Recent

Love this. Does this mean that long press menu brings up 'Recents Menu' ?

Yes! Both keys are completely switched with all functionality, except that the physical button will still wake the device.
To other suggestions about more functionality, unfortunately I can only switch keys, I can't change the long press functions and such.
Great. Thanks
Does this work with cm9 or only sammy roms?
Works flawlessly with my device. Thank you OP.:good:
Awesome!

Hopefully one day it can be done like the HTC ONE X!
thanks, it works. but now my menu button does not vibrate anymore. it vibrates only in long press....
Installed it, running perfect!
This is how Samsung should do it.
Thanks a lot!!
Edit:
Short press menu button open menu
long predd menu button open taskmanager would be perfect!

I hate the home button but I hate more the lack of recents button.
Is there any way to swap the menu button functionality with that of "show recents"?

Hi.
I'm new here, came from Galaxy s2 that served me well for a long time.
Today I received my new htc one m8, i have root it and installed xposed framework.
As i came from 3 button layout(home, menu and back) and htc has home, back and recents (which show on long press one the home button of the S2. i really miss the menu button. I know whenever there is a need for menu , the 3 dots appear. But i relay on it for specific shortcut and it will not appear on all my apps.
I think in Lg G2 there is a built in option to change the soft buttons layout.
I didn't found a specific way to change the layout or a way to add the menu to appear all the time
Does anyone has an idea if its possible?
If not built in, maybe an xposed module that will do it or simulate the recent button to act as menu button on long press?
I have sense 6 toolbox module, but it has only back and home key modification onlong press.
Thanks.

you can use Gravity Box Module to have a menu button but ive noticed that it doesnt work for everything
Thanks! It worked! And this module has some other nice tweaks.
