Since xposed isn't out for Nougat yet, is there any way to get the kill app on back long press function on stock? Thanks for any insight!
I put this line in my build.prop to hide my navbar,
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
then I use LMT Launcher for pie controls. You can set long press items, and I have my back button long press set to kill app.

Hi Folks,
Is there any way (widget/application/setting) to choose custom action on long home button press?
I would like to have this settings:
-simple click = go to the default launcher
-long press = open launcher menu selection & go into selected one
Thanks.
Try this: http://goo.gl/fZfTF
Tried the app, it almost works - can assign double tap to any custom launcher, but unfortunately can't assign single tap to the default launcher (!!!).
Custom roms like aokp have long press soft key actions

Yes you can!
As someone mentioned before, you can use custom roms to manage softkey actions. I'm using LiquidSmooth rom and here is a setting included. I would recommend using it since it is very close to stock.

When I did this, my Home button long press brings up the power menu. Odd. Menu brings up Google Search, though. I had to go in and remap the Home button long press to bring up recent apps.
I was trying to make double tap home to goto google now, are you guys doing menu or home button? and which app are you picking in wanam? voice search or google search

Just "Search". I have long press menu set to bring up Google Search.
where is that option at?

Install Xposed installer, and open it. Go to "Download" and scroll down to "Xposed Additions" to install that.
Go back to the beginning of Xposed installer and open "Modules" to ensure "Xposed Additions" is checked on.
Reboot.
Go into your Apps drawer and open "Xposed Additions," and you'll see "Button Re-map Awake." Open that to remap any buttons you want while your screen is on. For the "Menu Button" the "Long Press" option you want to choose is "Search"
If anyone wants double click home to open Voice Search, you can try the app Home2 Shortcut from the Playstore. Assign it as your main launcher and from within the app pick your real launcher to be assigned to 1 click of the home button. Then select voice search as the double click action. This take you directly into voice commands instead of having to say "ok Google" to launch it in Google Now

Very cool, without root!
I have come to learn that I would only want root for titanium backup as there are so many unrooted options for things I thought I needed root for like wifi tether or app permission management.

On previous phones xposed and gravity box would allow me to remap my navigation keys. A long press of back would bring me to the last used app, long pressing recents would kill the current app.
Since the S6 does not work with xposed, I am in a dire search for a way to do this.
Any suggestions?
Button remap - Long Press "back" = kill, Single Tab "app switch" = open menu
Hey, i have always configured my phones with a specific button behavior, which i am currently missing on the OP3 with nougat.
Single press "back" = back
Long press back = kill currently used app
single press "recent apps" = open menu
Long press "recent apps" = recent apps
thats the way i'd like to configure my buttons, which isnt possible by the default oxygenOS options. under marshmallow it worked great with gravitybox. but since nougat and the missing xposed i couldnt find anything that allows me this button remaps.
i knows it needs modded system settings file for this, but maybe someone knows a little mod package or something.
PS.: i'm on freedomOS and i'd like to stay on it. i know other ROMs might have this remap options by default.
I also missed this a LOT when coming to Nougat and used flars' button mapper?

The thing is that if you use tasker with accesibility then they conflict and BM kills tasker. If you don't then it is perfect for what you need.
Hope this helps-

ohh nice. will definitely take a look at it. thank you very much!
Hi.
So I've been trying to get my navbar buttons to work as they did in my previous phone. What would be:
Recent apps short press: open menu
Recent apps long press: search
Recent apps double tap: open assistant
Home button short press: home
Home button long press: recent apps
Home button double tap: split screen
Back button short press: back
Back button long press: kill app
Remaping the buttons doesn't seem an option since the soft keys are not detected as buttons. I rooted my device as well.
I've tried several methods using other apps that should replace the stock navbar but those despite being shown they do nothing.
I would also like to have it so the home button is disabled when typing.
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks
-Device: OP5T
-OS: OOS9.0.5
-Rooted with magisk. Twrp recovery. No xposed
Most of the functions you listed can be achieved by using the navbar customization built into Oxygen OS. (Settings->Buttons->Navigation Bar->Customization) The kill app button could probably be done with Tasker.

Although it is true the actions themselves are available on the stock menu apart from search and kill app. The short press action cannot be changed
Ah, didn't notice the menu one. Just for curiosity, do apps still support a menu button function? I haven't seen a hardware menu button in years.

Oh yes they do. All of the ones I use at least it just opens whatever menu the app has that you would access by pressing on 3 dots. I just hate that some apps use other methods so you always have to think how to open the menu as oposed to just pressing the same thing
