hi guys wonder does any one know off an app that can launch the home screen other than using the power button all the time i would prefer a long push on 1 off the soft keys if poss , any replies welcome
Some screenlockers (as example advanced lock if I remember right) do not lock home button, but I don't know if It's what you're looking for.
I use widgetlocker which allows to turn on the phone using volume buttons, way easier than power button (imho ).

with widget locker you can set t to use the volume keys. afaik until the screen is on the softkeys dont work - they are in theory part of the sceen
does anyone know of apps to replace the use of hardware home button?eg:bk soft home .a stand alone app/shortcut would be nice.
Save button or something like this. You can find it on market.
button savior.I know of that one.it uses too much ram.but its not what I want.I just want a home button shortcut that I can place as a toggle on the status bar.there are many status bar apps.I use one with the power button and multitasking button along with buttons for all apps/shortcuts.they are just shortcuts/notifications and not processes see.
Navigation bar in aokp and cm9 roms have what you need

thanks.but it takes up part of the display all the time.no solution I guess.
understanding your problem but its not that big biiggg problem you guess
Ok, so you know if you hold the home button, (for SGSexy 3 thats the button at the bottom in the middle) for a bit you get that screen that shows all the apps, and then if you press hold on one of the apps long enuff you get the option to kill it or get app info... well I wanna know if you can change that shortcut to a motion or a double tap on the home screen or something. Im kinda paranoid about always having to hold down the home button to get that screen up. If I can do it, how can I? Thanks in advance you sexy beasts.

You can probably do that in a 3rd party launcher like Nova.

Im using GoLauncher right now, and I like it more then NoVa. I dont think NOVA had it and thats one of the reasons I left.. or I just couldnt figure it out on either launcer. Ill search around some more... but what is that screen called anyways, the task killer screen... the running app screen?
Nova does have it, if you just long press anywhere on the screen, it will come up with options like widgets, nova actions, etc. Choose "nova actions", then choose "recent apps". You can then drag that to the dock, or leave it on the home screen.
Hey guys i just found this cool launcher..makes your phone like on multitasking mode..just sharing..credits go to OP.

I can't really see the benefits of that launcher besides what you can also do by pressing once home key (return to launcher without closing apps), or long press home key to see app previews of those still running.

Got my G3 today and have been spending a good amount of time setting it up.
I am rooted and have Xposed w/G3 Tweaksbox.
I have a couple of things that still annoy me.
Is there a way to swap the behavior of the recent apps button? I want short press to be menu and long press to be recent apps. I figured out I can add a menu button using G3 Tweaksbox that does exactly that, but I can't remove the stock recent apps button, so I have 4 buttons there and I don't really like that.
When I drag up the recent apps button, I get a little semi circle selector with voicemate, search and quickmemo+ options. I have no intention of ever using voicemail or quickmemo+. Is there a place to change the 3 things that come up there?

Most modern apps use the 3 dot menu button in the app interface and that is why most modern phones tablets do away with dedicated menu button so why would you want to do this?

Probably because I'm used to it coming from the Galaxy S3.

You'll get used to the new buttons in no time. Just give it a little time and you'll look back at the S3 thinking the button layout was dumb.i had an S3 and S4. Love the G3 and the on screen buttons!

I have the exact thing you want; but I don't want it. I'm rooted with Xposed framework and I randomly rebooted my phone earlier to have it turn back on with a functioning menu button. I looked through all the modules I had downloaded and even booted into safe mode but to no avail. I desperately need help with this.
Sorry that's not what you want, but if anyone knows how to get that, that's why I want.

Sorry for reposting this... Thought I posted in a different thread but I guess I'm wrong. Please don't crucify me
As a long time samsung user, I'd say try without the menu button and see how you get on first.
But you can change the swipe up (and thats a swipe up from anywhere on the navigation bar btw, try it out), using tweaksbo, it's under:
theme > ring pad
And you can either turn it off, or add up to 5 custom apps.
The recent apps button is kinda key to android, it's like asking to remove the home button. Maybe instead of adding a menu button, make double tap on home be the menu button instead? Then you'd still have your three icons, and wouldn't lost out on recent apps, which you should end up using more now it's easier to reach (as opposed to a long press on the home button on samsung).
As noted most apps should use the 3 dot menu button so unless you have an outdated app you use regularly you really shouldn't even want a dedicated menu button. Ask the developer to update the app. It's the way forward and most all modern phones don't have a dedicated menu button, even the S5 replaced the menu button with the multitask button. It you really can't adapt ask the G3 Tweaks xposed developer if he can add a menu button option as the G3 already has the framework to change nav buttons.
How can you change them?

Just use the LG Display menu in settings to remove that button and xposed to add other button options. I'd like to know what people use, I'm on a 4 button system. I'll post pics when I get a chance
I somehow managed to change them on a system level if that's even possible. I disabled all modules and even booted into safe mode and they were still there. I'd like to change it back on whatever level it got modified. And the settings app crashes when I try to change the button combination.
The OP did not want to replace the resents button with menu, but only change its behavior: short press - menu, long press- resents. I am very interested in the same setup.

In TweaksBox under theme tweaks, then ring pad. It let's you select one in the free version. In the donate version you can select up to 5 shortcuts in the ring pad or disable it altogether.
settings / display / home touch buttons / button combination
I think they are standard options and not something I've added in. let's you add/remove a button such as the menu button or recent apps. screen is wide so I use 5 buttons.

personally don't use program #1 the ring selector as it is accidentally opening all the time with use of the back button.

Hold the recents and thats your menu button. Thats a default setting i believe. No need for g3 tweakbox unless a longpress isnt what you want. Idk which model you have but the tmobile version doesnt let you add the menu button on the nav bar.
