I've installed CM11 on my ouya.
Most features are acceptable, there is however one important drawback.
The U button in the middle of the joystick.
Under stock os I was using it to call context menu in xbmc which was extremely useful. In CM11 it just calls home button action and it closes xbmc.
Do you have any ideas on how to regain access to context menu in xbmc when using CM11 ?
I don't think you can change it... Why do you want context menu?
I use Ouya only for xbmc, and don't need U(start) button...
I extensively use library functions in ouya, sometimes watch trailers.
All this requires context menu.
Do you try all button? For example, if I want delete a file, I use U button ( not the middle U button but the blue U button)

Maybe you can try edit the keylayout file... (Ouya . keylayout.zip)
Thats what I did.
I've described it in post 517 in CM11 Rom thread.
It's all good for me know, at least button mapping wise.

hey im kind of new, on cm10 nightly. under setting >system >hardware keys> custom actions. i love the feature but i tried to set the search key to open recent apps switcher instead of holding home button( long press home key). but it wouldnt work, it still does in app search. would be great if anyone knows a fix. or anyone could post the issue on the teamchopsticks page for me. im new member could not post on their page. thank you.
So I was playing around and noticed you can scroll threw one list of every settings and sub-settings(sub folder) of each setting
Hold down menu button (don't no about doing it from any app. But from whatever home launcher works)
This opens "S Finder" new feature/ app in note 3
Its an app that helps you search through anything on your phone
Anyways, scroll through middle row and click "Help"
Now next to settings click the down arrow
Now you have every single setting and settings option in on one scrollable list
If you learned something new. The Thanks Button helps alot!
Very cool. Don't normally use S Finder since I use the Nova Launcher.

Adding S Finder to your background using Nova Launcher
If you are using the Nova Launcher... you can create an S Finder widget and then use that to do the same.
Press and hold on an empty spot on your background
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down the large list and find S Finder
Click on that, then click on the single S Finder that pops up below it.
Now you have S Finder on your background.
Select that... and you can follow what the poster above showed.
Second line scroll over with your Finger/S Pen to Help
Scroll down to Settings and click on the Down Arrow on the right like the above poster did.
You can still use s finder on any launcher. I use nova too. Just hold down menu
This is nice. Thanks! Just wish I could have the white theme everywhere...
Hi,
I'm using on my Tab Pro 8.4 CyanogenMod11 M9.
I configured the recents buton as "open/close menu" for short press and the home button as recent app switcher for long press.
But the open menu action doesn't work in any app. I tried each other possible action. But no configuration works to open the menu. That's very bad for Firefox. Firefox don't offer me a settings button in the app. So I can't open the settings.
Does someone know the problem? Maybe it is fixed in a nighly build.
Can someone reports its expierence?
Thanks!
Dominik
Hey,
I deactivated for all buttons the open menu action. Now, Firefox offers me the settings button. This is a workaround. But I guess that there is a bug somewhere in the software?
What do you thing about it?
Thanks
Dominik
Try changing ur DPI in build prop to a higher # like 320, 340, etc. I use 400 cuz I like it big. That did the trick for me.
Uff, where do I find the DPI option? I looked in the developer options but nothing found. Is the a further hidden option?
Thanks for help
Dominik
Use ES File Explorer. Must have root access switched to RW on all columns in the tools menu. Navigate to device at the top/ then system/ build prop. Select ES note editor to open. You'll see a list of ur build prop. Then select menu, edit. Scroll down to lcd_density, and change to desired #. Save and exit. Careful not to mess with any other settings. Reset tablet, profit.

Try 380. That's a nice size for this screen.
Great! :good:
The settings menu in Firefox and other apps is back for values > 356
Now I will find out the best resolution for me.
Is this fixed in later nightlies? I'm working on cm11 for t800 (chagallwifi) and face exactly this problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57791664&postcount=657 and some of the following postings.
Just picked up my Note 4! With the replacement of the settings button with the Multi-Tasking button (which I love) how is everyone getting into their settings? Wondering if there was another quick settings option outside of placing a shortcut on the home screen. Loving the phone!!
Long press the multitasking button.
this did not work on mine, i have since installed nova yet again and not long pressing the open apps button works.
There are quite a few things they took away from this note that was on the note 3.
I decided not to install Nova yet, but he is right long pressing works. Looking forward to some blogs putting up guides and screenshots of all the new and "hidden" features.
Just pull down the notification shade...there's a settings button. Lol.
I think they mean the per-app settings button rather than the main device settings app.
I too love the multitasking button. Long hold press on home button was making me die a little bit every time on the note 3. This is much better.
Now, if I could stop accidentally invoking multitasking thinking I am going to get an app settings menu to drop down! Doh

Well, long-pressing the multitask button works for me to get access to the overflow/menu....
App specific options/settings menu? I dunno how else to explain it. Not all apps have them and the functionality is app-dependent. I.e. in chrome it pops up a menu with options like <- and -> and find in page etc. Now you have to long press the bottom left softkey to get to that instead of a single tap.
Main phone settings app you get to by tapping the gear button in the notification screen- which hasn't changed. Seems like that is what you were referring to. There has never been a softkey to get to that- that I know of

Overflow menu, yeah. Sorry didn't know what the heck to call that thing. Sorry for the confusion
After updating my unlocked HTC 10 to Android 7, I noticed "menu button" option in display settings. There is a check mark, but I don't know what it does.
I'd guess it's giving you the option of having the new one on screen, or continue using the capacitive button. Just a guess tho
Can I ask what build No you have?

You mean the three line hamburger menu button? It's just an addition to get to most used setting options quickly. It's not only in display, it's on other settings menus as well
I don't really see any changes when I toggle "menu option" in the display settings.

I selected that and didn't see any difference until I opened JetAudioPlus.There was a menu icon on the right bottom corner of the app.I think some apps make it visible,to make the menu easy to reach.Bu when I click it it still opens the menu on the upper right corner.I think the option is there because someone may need it in some apps.I don't need it.So I disabled it.
Is there some way I can use the right "recent apps" button as a real menu button??
I already tried Button mapper app by Flar and it doesn't have that function.
Did they get rid of the option to long press the recent apps button for menu? If so, that's lame...

Yes they did. Somebody who has a twitter account should write to Mo Versi or Graham Wheeler so that they are aware of this issue!

Yes there is.. I've got a thread in the guides section. Find it and it'll show you the location of the file to edit. Can't remember off the top of my head.
