remapping long press home button

Hello All,
I've conceded the fact that the phantom presses from capacitive buttons occur and cannot be stopped so I rooted my device (and commented the use of the search and menu button to be benign / vestigial). I am realizing home much I need to use the menu button. I attempted to use a program that put up a on screen menu but I just disliked it. I also to use launch key, but it only impact the long press of the search button which is already turned off.
Is there anyway to remap the longpress of home to act as a menu button?
Best,
Norman

Replaced Screen - Menu Button Issues

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

Hardware Keys Hacked

Hi,
Today while reboot some application asked for two hardware keys, I've pressed Volume-Up and Volume-Down keys and land up into following issue.
1. Pressing Volume-Up key start selecting elements on screen with blue focussing rectangle instead of volume increase functionality. This is similar as pressing TAB keys in desktop application to switch controls on screen. Volume-Down key acting as Enter (or Select Key) instead of volume decrease. Now I can operate all applications on phone using two keys but cant control volume
2. I've not installed any such application to map these keys. Now this app is not appearing again when I reboot my phone
How can I reset volume keys back to original state and remove or disable this hacking application or feature of android phone. I don't want to install a button remapping application - first need to eliminate the bug.
Device: One Plus 3
ROM: Resurrection 5.4.8

Same issue her
Super irritating. Can't find anything via Google search except this thread.

you have Talkback turned on - go into accessibility settings and disable it.
navigating in this mode is different (for users that need slower inteface), so :
tap = double tap

HTC 10 Nougat Menu Button?

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

Question Power Button

Anyone having issues with the power button activating Google assistant? That's what mine does. I have to hold volume up + power to get the reboot options. Did I miss something? I'm looking for a setting in threads but finding nothing.
Update: I had to go to power button settings and turn off the option for Google assistant. Sorry to ask

In the Settings menu, navigate to the “System” section.
Next, go to “Gestures.”
Select the “Power Menu” option at the bottom of the list.
Finally, all you need to do here is toggle off the switch for “Hold for Assistant.”
Hope this helps
