[Q] MENU button? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I'm using the Torque app to see the fault codes in my car, but I can't set up a profile because the app doesn't have a built in "three dot" menu/settings button. Is there anything else I can do?
Is there a dedicated menu button that I can add to my Paranoid Android / Nova laucher Nexus 7?

Solved
Got GMD GESTURES and custom made an action to simulate the menu button.

How do I disable lock screen in sense ROM?

Been on AOSP for a while....
How do I totally disable the lock screen on a Sense ROM?
Any way to wake up phone with volume buttons?
Also... Any way to increase the number of"recent apps" that pop up when I long press home button?
Thanks!
[ Evo / KWIQ-ns / from xda app ]
use an external lock screen like magic locker or GO series
i believe theres a app in the market that does what ur asking for i havent used it in a while u might want to search no lock on the market search bar to see if it finds it still.
As mentioned, No Lock from the market will disable the lockscreen. Once the lockscreen is disabled, the phone will wake with the volume buttons - the lockscreen is what keeps it from waking on anything other than the power button.
As for recent apps, I couldn't tell you. I know there are third party replacements of the recent apps dialog, but I don't know if it's possible to launch them by long-pressing home. I just use an app to open up my app drawer (Alt Drawer) when I long-press the search button. That works well for me, but I don't know if that would meet your specific needs. With Alt Drawer you can sort by "Most Used", but that can make finding a particular recent app difficult. I just sort mine alphabetically, that way I can easily launch any app from anywhere. You could use an app (Quick Launch, Button Shortcut, or another) to open the replacement "recent apps" by long-pressing the search button.

Remapping menu button

Nova launcher has an option to remap the menu button long-press. Anyone know how to replicate that without using that launcher (I don't want to use Nova)?

No dedicated menu button

I found there is apps I need to press menu to get to a screen but there is no menu or dots... For example holo launcher HQ I have to press menu in order to hide apps but I can't! Is there a workaround? Thanks. I tried googling but I don't think I am phrasing my issue right.

Touch and hold?
Sorry, no new info to add.
One example is in holo launcher HQ in the app drawer. I'm supposed to press menu to enter 'hide apps' ....can't touch and hold there. There's no way to add a menu button to the onscreen nav bar?

Cancel this dumb question. I discovered the settings in the launcher settings. Its optimized for the on screen buttons, oops

How to change what opens when you long-press home button?

When I long-press Home button it opens Google app, but I would like to change to DuckDuckGo, I had it working on S5 but I can't find where to do this in the Note 7 settings?
Try this? It's for a different app but this is how I can get home button launcher to launch any app while holding the home button instead of Google assistant.

You can set in the app whatever you want to launch while holding the home button.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can't double tap power to open another app other than the default Google camera app. But you can set the double tap feature to open an app of your choice.
Setting/system/gestures/
that workaround will have to do for now, much appreciated
You can also map another double tap on the up volume button for example to launch an app using Button Mapper.
Button Mapper: Remap your keys - Apps on Google Play
Remap hardware buttons to launch any app, shortcut or action
play.google.com
Nothing to map soft keys though. I'm looking for 'double-tap' back button for notifications, like the OnePlus 8 Pro has.
