Missing Menu Buttons

Hi Guys,
Strange problem, but on my HOX after flashing LeeDroid, my Menu button in the top right is missing from Play Store (so I can't access My Apps) I just have the spyglass. Also the menu button is missing in some apps (Like in Zedge)
Any ideas?

That means your menu will be either
1 recent apps button
2 long press recent apps button
3 home button
4 long press home button

Does tapping the recent apps button bring up the menu instead?

No, recent apps brings up recent apps as does a long press. Home button long press also brings up recent apps.
But good suggestions all the same! It's going to be something simple I bet....

[Q] Map Long Press Home to Google Search / Now

I'd like to know if there is a way to map the a long press of the Home key to launch Google Now (or Google Search if you haven't flashed Google Now)?
Something similar to the previous mod that maps the menu option to the Recent Apps key and removes the 3 dot menu bar.
Apologies if this already exists, a search of the forum didn't turn up anything.

That option is available in many ROMs, for example ViperX or ParanoidAndroid.

Thanks. I've installed Android Revolution HD which comes with CD Suite Tools. This enabled re-mapping of all the hardware keys including long pressing the Home button to activate "Voice Search" which, if you flash the Google Now zip will be replaced by Google Now. This also lets me re-map the Recent Apps key to the menu function and removes the 3 dot menu bar. Excellent.

[Q] Installed Cyanogenmod. Google Now access?

I installed TWRP and Cyanogenmod after I s-off'd my phone. Is there anyway I can enable swipe up for google now, like the stock rom? It's kind of annoying not having persistent access anymore.

No it's either a double tap or long press of the home key (not 100% sure), you cannot set it for the vertical swipe.

I miss that feature too. If they had it for both the home button and back button I can swipe up home screen Google now, hold for menu, double tap for recent apps, and for the back button, swipe up for kill app, hold for search, and I'll leave double tap alone so I can still go back fast. oh it would be sweeet

I know you can set gestures on Nova Launcher if that's an option for you.

That's only while on the home screen, though.
I set it so that holding the button launches voice search, but it doesn't give me access to my cards and stuff. They could partially solve this by allowing us to put app shortcuts in the quick settings panel, I suppose.

Hopefully, ROMs will soon add the swipe feature.

Try configuring the long press action to 'Search assistant' instead of voice search. That will show your cards.

I was trying to figure this out, too. I installed Swipe Home Button:

and made the swipe up action open Google Now. Swipe up from HTC logo, open google now. Seems to be working well.

[Q] Wake up phone with home key, I don't want recent apps

When I wake up my phone with the home key, it usually takes me the the "recent apps" screen (as if I long-pressed home), so I have to press 'back' to get rid of it. I just want it to turn the screen on.
I am running Slimkat 4.4.2 with Nova launcher. I can't find a setting on the rom or Nova to disable this.
It did the same thing when I was on Whomp rom (with Nova).
It doesn't seem to do this on the stock launcher. Is this a known Nova issue?
Anyone else have this issue, or a solution?
Thanks!
Mike

It could be nova launcher. I use apex and don't have this issue

I'm using CM 11 and since it's using 4.4.2 Kit Kat so I don't know if SlimKat have the same... you may solve it if you go to your phone settings - buttons - home button and put a check there. There are other adjustments under buttons setting you can find there too.
Good luck!

Problem with pawitp AOSP 6.0.1 buttons issue

Let me start off by saying that this rom is so amazing. Brought back my galaxy grand duos to life. Huge difference from stock 4.2.2!!
One issue I noticed though: Press & hold home button activates recent apps AND now on tap at the same time!

and the question/problem is?

Like I said, press and hold home button is assigned for both recent app switcher AND now on tap. Which makes using now on tap impossible.

Make another 2 post and you'll be able to post/ask in the rom thread. You may have a better answer there than here, as Im not using the rom, so Im not able to provide better solution than this.
In cm12.1 under setting,there's button tab which have an option to set the button assign. See if your rom have the same option.
Edited: I just found this post, will gibe you the answer for your question.

Thanks, that was helpful.
AOSP does not have an option to change buttons. I love AOSP simplicity but the menu button is pretty useless on marshmallow. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it function as a recent app switcher instead.

I believe I read it in the aosp 6.0 thread about disabling the now on tap function, in Google setting I think. Check the link I gave, probably couple post before or after it.
