Thanks, I hope so much that anyone can do it

It may be available in custom roms....but i am not sure

Thanks, I will check my dad's phone right now
EDIT: That worked But he still think it's not as good as the older menu button. I hope we will see some custom ROM's that adds it æ

I got a workaround!

Thanks I will try your ROM as soon as my dad gets his One V back from the reparation (broken microphone)

NO need for ROMs. The Menu button is right there.

Just press and hold the Recent Apps button. If you're there on a screen with 'Settings' option, it will work. I downloaded an app named 'iLightr' from Android Market... It worked on my previous phone (Xperia Mini) but as it had an Menu button, I could change the cases... Now if I want to go to settings in iLightr app, I press and hold the Recent Apps button.

Missing Menu Buttons

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....

How did you fix this? I am having he same issue.
I do nothing, just read and try. It's not about menu in startup screen. It's about menu in apps.

[Q] Anyone know of a way to get menu overflow button?

Anyway to get the menu overflow button into all apps and disable menu key or make it multitask key? Xposed modules or Roms? I loathe the menu key. All of my other devices have software buttons so I'm always thrown off when going to my note. Thanks

xposed module: 3-dot menu mod do the job(add soft menu key). Install it, activate in xposed and restart.
PS. And Samsung did it again wrong, because the menus are ugly in all their apps (light grey icons on a white background).

Good stuff. This restored the 3 dot menu in Chrome after Google yanked it out in the last update.
I peronwly love the menu button

Now to find a way to turn the menu button into a task switcher button and set long press home to google now
Youre right ... Listen to me get xposed modules install gravity box jellybean version... and use their pie controls.... make them appear on left side.... so use ur left thumb to acces home button and recent task on pie.... and your right thumb for the return button ... i know the feels... since that threw me off too ... this way you can comfortably navigate without sacrificing screen estate... .. trust me it rocks... contact me if you have more questions .. youre welcome

Long press home to Google Now can be done with Xposed. Both my phone and tablet work like that. I use Switchr for task switching with the activator in the bottom left and Button Savior Pro on the bottom right.
mine does that automatically. it also tried opening dolphin for some reason LoL

Remap multitask to menu?

Any way to do this without root on the Note 4? I believe HTC offers this option on their M7 and M8 phones, so I really hope Samsung did the same since they switched it.
yes please! I believe it can be done but uncertain without decompiling the app doing some recoding and then recompile the results into a .apk file.
Hold the button down....it's menu with a long press of the multitasking button

haha me too i want menu one touch menu and recent long press of home button
I didn't realize the back button still did menu with a long-press. Glad to have learned that rather than having to search the 4 corners of the screen to see where the menu in whatever app is hidden.
When root is found, it should be a simple thing to flip the functionality of it right?
Also, anyone else wish there was a flashlight quick toggle in the notification tray?

New menu button after upgrade to Android 7?

After updating my unlocked HTC 10 to Android 7, I noticed "menu button" option in display settings. There is a check mark, but I don't know what it does.
I'd guess it's giving you the option of having the new one on screen, or continue using the capacitive button. Just a guess tho
Can I ask what build No you have?

You mean the three line hamburger menu button? It's just an addition to get to most used setting options quickly. It's not only in display, it's on other settings menus as well
I don't really see any changes when I toggle "menu option" in the display settings.

I selected that and didn't see any difference until I opened JetAudioPlus.There was a menu icon on the right bottom corner of the app.I think some apps make it visible,to make the menu easy to reach.Bu when I click it it still opens the menu on the upper right corner.I think the option is there because someone may need it in some apps.I don't need it.So I disabled it.
Is there some way I can use the right "recent apps" button as a real menu button??
I already tried Button mapper app by Flar and it doesn't have that function.
Did they get rid of the option to long press the recent apps button for menu? If so, that's lame...

Yes they did. Somebody who has a twitter account should write to Mo Versi or Graham Wheeler so that they are aware of this issue!

Yes there is.. I've got a thread in the guides section. Find it and it'll show you the location of the file to edit. Can't remember off the top of my head.
