I just got the note 3 coming for the note 2 and i love the phone but I've found an irritating issue with the note 3 S Finder. I've been able to uninstall it after rooting with titanium backup as there is no way to disable or remove while stock. now what i want to do is to be able to long press the menu button like i did with my note 2 and bring up Google now but after uninstalling S Finder and trying to create a tasker profile that would give me those results i cant seem to find how to input a hardware menu long press into tasker as the only long press option im given is camera button long press. Which the note 3 has no dedicated camera button. Any tips or ideas on how i can get my Google now back via a menu key long press?
No one has any ideas or suggestions that might be of some kind of help. I'd really appreciate it.

I totally understand your frustration. Also coming from a Note 2, I used Google Now quite often. So, what I, did was add Google Now shortcut to my locksceen. I got rid of the other shortcuts (email, camera, etc etc) and just put a Google Now shortcut. It works for me.

I use wanam xposed. And the xposed module . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.xposed but i use double tap home for Google now.
Has Anyone tried freezing "finder" in titanium. Actually one more question,has anyone eels noticed Google now flash for a second before s finder pops up.. here's a video to show.. https://db.tt/b9Ed7YGh

I was even more frustrated, because I used to long press 'menu' button for in-app search OR as Google <Now> app shortcut on the home screen of Touchwiz.
So how to replace the S-Finder with Google search, how to return the Note 2 behavior (Google Now search + In-App Search when applicable):
1) Root the device
2) Install latest Xposed framework from the official website.
3) Launch Xposed framework, activate it and press reboot button in the app.
4) Launch Xposed framework, go to Repository, find the GravityBox module and install it. Sorry, I am not allowed to post links on this forum.
5) Return to Xposed framework, go to Modules, check the new installed GravityBox module.
6) Launch GravityBox app, go to Navigation buttons, select 'Long-press Menu button' and change the behavior to 'In-app search'. Go back.
That's it. Now you have that in-app search AND you have Google Now (or other preferred search app) on the home screen!
Hello.Does anyone know where I can find a zip with this mod for S3 with Android 4.3 ?
I am currently running Omega Rom v51 on my phone and the only mod that comes close to what I want is "Long press back button to kill apps" found in Wannam Xposed app,but it's poorly implemented(its kind of slow in killing apps,as you must hold the button for like a second),and I also need the back button for the Multi App Window.I searched around the web for this mod compatible with 4.3 and I had no results,so I am hoping one of you guys could help me.
Thanks.

This is what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot !
What a great app. Thanks.
So I am to impatient to wait for the 4.4 update where hopefully we will get the recent apps button to replace the menu key so I did what I could for now.
You have to be rooted and have a root file manager.
open the file manger and go to system
then to usr
then to keylayout
now open the Generic.kl
scroll down to key 139
open as a text file
change from "MENU" to "APP_SWTICH"
no "" needed
save the file and reboot
Honestly i did it in the sec_e-pen.kl and sec_keyboard.kl and sec_touchscreen.kl just to be sure. I dont know if it is needed but i did anyway and have had no side affects.
Again if this has been posted before feel free to delete or move just i havent seen it so i thought others would want to know:good:
Sounds like a nice little tweak! But doesn't that cause problems with apps that don't have a menu button in the interface?

I suppose it would but so far most apps and games have the pull out menu or some kind of options thats easily accessible through the app itself. i guess since almost all of android expect samsung did away with the menu button most apps dont need you to have one
I love this option, but i wonder if its also possible to map the long press of the menu key to "menu", any ideas?

Xposed Framework and GravityBox should be able to do that
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk
I tried it on both my GS3 and P600, and here's the result
On GS3, modifying Generic.kl alone is enough to do the trick
Yet on P600 I have to modify all 3 files to make it
With GravityBox I managed to remap the long press as menu

gravitybox works, i hope u r not mistaking, install xposed installer, open it, go to framework, click install/update, app_process and xposedbridge.jar will install n will reboot, now go to modules and install gravitybox, and then activate it, in the modules, tick it in the checkbox, so its activated, now it will work, try this, hope it will work for u as well,
When I do that, will apps that doesn't show on screen menu button start to show? (For example, Chrome)

The xposed module "menu be gone" remaps the menu key to be a recents key, and if you long press it, it is a menu key.
It work but it is "APP_SWITCH", you wrote wrong, beware!!!
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?

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.

G3 Tweaksbox,theme, ring pad, disable ring pad.
I've resorted to this because...
1. Modifying "kl" files doesn't work for me.
2. I don't like using softkeys
*PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT LIABLE IF YOU SOMEHOW DAMAGED YOUR PHONE.
*EVERYTHING IS REVERSIBLE by just removing the apps listed below.
Hi everyone,
If you are just like me, wanting to mitigate from accidentally clicking home button while supposedly trying to click space bar while typing, here is my suggestion.
1. You need root
2. Install xposed app
3. Install xposed gravityboxLp module (NO NEED FOR THIS - EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE ON Xposed Addition Module)
4. Install xposed additions module
Xposed additions: you need to remap each button to your preference.
My current setup:
BACK button:
click = go back
click+hold = forcekill foreground app
HOME button:
click = disabled
click+hold = go home (this may not work, so you might need to call your launcher activity instead)
RECENT button:
click = show recent apps
click+hold = screenshot
Don't forget to click thanks and, if not so burdensome, reply here if this has helped you. thanks
BTW, if you guys have simpler/better solution that this, please do share. thanks.

thanks for this suggestion. however, it didn't get the job done
One way to temporary disable the home and task switch key is to use screen pinning:
http://www.howtogeek.com/202841/how-to-pin-screens-in-android-5.0-for-more-security-and-privacy/
Back key still work, and it last until you quit the app. I only use it for running Asphalt 8, since my left thumb tends to hit those keys when playing.

I tried this one too. But pinning foreground apps just just to mitigate from accidentally clicking the home won't work for me. thanks for this though.

It works. I only installed the xposed additions, and set the home button to respond to long click on screen-on.
"RECENT button:
click = show recent apps
click+hold = screenshot "
I am sure that there are some applications where the default "click+hold" function of recent apps button, i.e. calling up the app menu, may come handy as those apps don't have the three dots in upper right corner or that hype design....yes, "material" they call it
How would you proceed to call up the menu in such cases?
Just my observation/warning for users, otherwise your solution is a good one, I used to have similar settings through Gravity Box.
Heh, my thumb still keeps hitting a "." key on my favourite keyboard instead of spacebar due to ZF2 having a slightly larger screen than my previous device )

Good that you've mentioned the possible issue with app menu. I honestly haven't experienced the issue with any app that i use to call upon app menu, but i think we can still add double tap in gravity box on recent key to do that.
So far, i am still mistyping due to big hands, but at least I no longer experience being brought back to home accidentally.
great one
does anybody here have better solution than this?
