Could you guys clarify something for me?
If there are only three buttons - back, home and multitasking - how to get to the hidden menus in existing software? Will they be unavailable until an app is updated? Or will those buttons be brought out somehow?
Or is there something else I'm not seing?
There are literally 2 threads about this already. Not to mention a couple videos out there showing how it works.
When a legacy app is loaded, a menu button appears next to the multitasking button (this is how it works in honeycomb since the start).
The SDK is designed so that new apps and updated apps will have menu items (or at least a button) integrated into the app in plain view.
Sorry, my bad..
Thanks for your reply.
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!

Anyone have a solution to my other issue?

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.

G3 Tweaksbox,theme, ring pad, disable ring pad.
With the G2 you could swipe up from the button and acces quickmemo.
There's only a google search option with the G4, any way to change this?

Not that I've found. there are two other good options:
1) Add QuickMemo+ to your quick shortcuts in the notification panel
2) add a shortcut to your lock screen
This should work.
Settings > Apps > (Menu) Reset Default Apps
Clear whichever one it is, and redo the action and you should get an option to reassign + some other options
Mine gives me the option to call out a tasker task or greenify screen off+lock which is what I do so i can turn the screenoff even from a full screen app without using the button on the back.
Hi, I bought swift phone, arrived yesterday. It's great, i known yet the cyano nice one.
I have 2 simple question:
I can't find Volume and Vibrate/Silent/Ring switcher toggles
There is the possibility to turn on the screen with double tap (like lg or nexus phone...) I find the way to turn off with double click on status bar
Thanks
1. Use the Volume buttons.
2. Download a third party app.
1) use profiles, configure your profiles in the settings, then switch between profiles using the power button (long press).

Can anyone confirm if the fingerprint gestures (tap for home, swipe left to go back, swipe right to enter multitasking view) work on Moto G5? Or is a feature exclusive to the Moto G5 Plus?
They work and work very nicely.
You need to activate this in Moto app.
Wasn't aware of this feature, enabled it now and enjoying the extra screen space!
yes just seen this video on researching moto g5 motion gestures is also available on the normal Lenovo Moto G5 too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbJoqHQ1WkI
Yes it works fine. I like the regular software buttons better though. But it's an option you can turn on or off.

I use the One button/fp nav - so the soft keys are hidden EXCEPT for the keyboard/gboard is openend ->> soft keys pop up!! Does anyone know how to prevent gboard from doing so??
No idea :/ Did not do this to me - but as I could not get rid of the extra row in gboard, I installed NextApp Keyboard and disabled gboard.

Related to gboard: in my phone the gboard app randomly flickers (very slightly - you do not always notice this) - i got rid of this by disabling hardware overlays in development options.

It does this when you have multiple keyboards/languages active, so it can show the keyboard icon that switches between them to the right of the recents button. To remove it, afaik you have to disable these extra input methods :/

No. Even with only one language navigation soft keys still pop up.

What about Google voice? Counts as another input method. I mean, just click that icon and see what options appear there. To remove the icon and the bar, have only one of those enabled. Unless there's no icon and it's just the soft keys, then idk...

I think I gotta try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747 Update: this doesn't work to hide soft keys of gboard. And you were right it works with only one language enabled, but i can't live without 2 languages..
If I install a third party keyboard, can I disable every keyboard that's preinstalled, so the navbar won't pop up anymore?
yes. Settings -> Languages & Input ->Virtual Keyboard -> Manage Keyboards
After you have activated the 3rd party keyboard - you can disable the GBoard in Settings -> Apps -> GBoard -> Disable
This way it won't be updated (saving bandwith and small amount of battery each time new version comes out).
Anyone else wish you could swipe down on the fp reader to pull down the notification bar?
I wish you could customize all of them
