i activated the screen buttons, but kept the menu button active... however the apps keep thinking i disabled it, so they give me a menu button IN the app... this is very anoying, specially in some stock apps that dont resize when another bar is added to acomodate the button and so the lists get cutt off... any way to tell the apps i have a menu button whilst keeping the buttons bar?
there are plenty of threads out there to do just the oposite, not this.

So I deleted a few of the HTC toggle widgets from the screen (thinking i could always put them back later,) but i can't figure out how to restore them. Anybody know?
If you are serious, touch and hold your screen then follow the breadcrumbs.
I know how to add widgets to the screen. I just wasnt finding the ones i wanted in the list. I now see that they're under the settings subheading.
Thanks for your help
for me, just long-press on the screen or press the "plus" sign, and then "add widget".
scroll down to what looks like it might be a "settings" widget, but when you press on it, another menu pops up with all the toggles, like 4g, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth. Just press on whichever one you want, and it will show up on your home screen.
If that doesn't work, then you have a problem.
I have replaced the screen on my Optimus G (E975k, Telstra) and the menu button works whilst the back is off, but as soon as I put the back on, the menu button doesn't work... super annoying!
I'm not sure if my clumsy attempts to replace the screen have damaged the synaptics ribbon and the cover going on puts pressure in the right spot to stop the ribbon cable making the connection for that button or what, but I'm looking for help getting around this.
Is there a way to make longpress on back arrow to open the menu, if so then 90% of my problems are solved, I can force the onscreen nav buttons to show up and that is great but it seems like a waste of space if I can work around it with a back button long press... I tried a few key remapping apps but they do not seem to be able to do what I want to do... if there is a custom rom that would support this then I would just flash that I guess.
Anyway, help from anyone would be appreciated
Thanks
EDIT: Okay so I edited /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl
changed
Key 115 VOLUME UP
to
Key 115 MENU VIRTUAL
This allows me to use the volume up button as the menu button, so I'm out of trouble, but I would still like to map back button long press to the duty rather than lose my volume up button.
Hey man, if ur on stock i think u can use xposed modules for long press behaviors and custom button actions.. Usr gravity box etc.. If u like custom rom, many offer custom button actions

I'm on android 4.3 and noticed that it no longer has a soft screen off button on my notification pull down menu. I loved this feature on my previous ROM since it saves me from using the hard home or power buttons.
I looked through google play store but was unable to find an app. I don't need it to lock but to just turn off the screen.
Any suggestions please?

How did you turn the screen back on ???
You could use something like power toggles, add the toggles that locks screen, then go to lock screen and set it to none.
That worked for me. I just tried it. Not sure if that's really what you are looking for.....
That turns off the screen, and pressing home button or power button turns screen back on.
Did you look at "Screen Off and Lock" in PlayStore? I think it had ability to add screen off in dropdown notification.
Hi, i just updated my phone to Nougat, and i miss the feature of long pressing the recent apps button that gives me a menu button (MM feature?). Is it possible to activate that again? It seems to be replaced with split window feature. In addition, in the display settings, in the buttons section enables the menu button. Does that only show the menu (three dots) button on apps only? (has nothing to do with the capacitive buttons on the phone?)
Thank you for reading this, look forward to a reply
Before Nougat:
Choose from the options: Always open recent apps. Press for menu, press and hold for recent apps. Press for recent apps, press and hold for menu.
After Update:
Display options - buttons- menu button
holding the button on the right to open up split screen is a feature of nougat.
I knew of the feature to hold the button down to bring up a menu, but im guessing it wasnt widely utilised, hence its removal.
There may be a way, using root, to change what the button does, but I wouldnt know how. Someone else probably does though.

Hey thats a bummer, i loved that feature! i not really fond of the split screen feature, its not really that useful to me.
Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully, ill flash a custom rom on this phone soon.
This is bull****! They could at least give us a choice of choosing what does the button do. Now I will have to install a custom rom to get back that menu button
Can someone who has a Twitter account describe this menu button issue to Graham Wheeler or Mo Versi ?
We`ll get a better chance of them fixing it then.
I have seen many people on here talk about the hard home press button. I have barely used it. I wanna know why is it important? Am i missing out on a feature?
For me it goes straight to home when i press it.

Hard press then swipe left or right.
Kinda cool but Good Lock and one handed mode makes it useless.
Actually when my screen is off, and I can't reach the power button, or if it was on a table, pressing the power button is annoying, so with this hard press I can wake my device easily just like the normal home button in previous galaxy devices, and you can configure the pressure level as well.
Also in full-screen apps, or in case of hiding the navigation bar, just hard press the home button and you're back to your home screen, without having to swipe up to get your navigation bar.
