I just upgraded from a Galaxy S to the Nexus Galaxy and the button bar on ICS is the opposite of my Galaxy S and I use the "back button" a lot. I would like to move the back button back to the bottom right because I am right handed. I guess if I were lefty the change would be welcome but I have a harder time hitting it on the far left specially with the larger size of the phone. Many thanks in advance to anyone with answers!
Currently running romans AOKP rom which has this built in. You can add and move the buttons and also change the white to any other colour. All built in without further modding. Excellent rom.

Does anybody know how to enable the onscreen menu buttons? For example, in chrome on the Galaxy Nexus the menu button is shown as 3 dots in the upper right hand corner. The actual menu button on the Galaxy Note 2 is so hard to hit using one hand but the on screen one is so easy.

Thank you but that's not quite what I'm looking for. That thread shows how to add the on screen buttons on the bottom. I don't want the onscreen buttons, I just want the menu button that appears in the apps in the top right corner.
EDIT: I figured it out, I'm going to update the OP.

Has anyone figured out how to enable the 3 dot vertical menu button on the Verizon Galaxy Note 2? I had CM10 on my S3 and its driving me nuts not having it on the Note 2! Any input would GREATLY be appreciated!
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...
Just got a used Note 10.1 2014 and the first thing buggin me is when using the Note I find it it difficult with the captivate and home button along the bottom. Is there an app that can move them to the right or left side of the screen? While holding it in landscape mode it just seems to make sense.

Have you tried pie control? Its a cool menu app that you can configure in any number of ways. If its not to your liking just search for "soft keys" in the play store and you will have many apps to choose from that are intended to do exactly what your looking to do. Some will require a rooted device, others won't. Pie control is a wonderful menu alternative and I know you can put soft keys in it too. heres a link for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol
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!
