[Q] Anyone know of a way to get menu overflow button?

Anyway to get the menu overflow button into all apps and disable menu key or make it multitask key? Xposed modules or Roms? I loathe the menu key. All of my other devices have software buttons so I'm always thrown off when going to my note. Thanks

xposed module: 3-dot menu mod do the job(add soft menu key). Install it, activate in xposed and restart.
PS. And Samsung did it again wrong, because the menus are ugly in all their apps (light grey icons on a white background).

delete

Good stuff. This restored the 3 dot menu in Chrome after Google yanked it out in the last update.

Now to find a way to turn the menu button into a task switcher button and set long press home to google now

Youre right ... Listen to me get xposed modules install gravity box jellybean version... and use their pie controls.... make them appear on left side.... so use ur left thumb to acces home button and recent task on pie.... and your right thumb for the return button ... i know the feels... since that threw me off too ... this way you can comfortably navigate without sacrificing screen estate... .. trust me it rocks... contact me if you have more questions .. youre welcome

Long press home to Google Now can be done with Xposed. Both my phone and tablet work like that. I use Switchr for task switching with the activator in the bottom left and Button Savior Pro on the bottom right.

mine does that automatically. it also tried opening dolphin for some reason LoL

[Q] Key log press remaping

Hi friends. Just yesterday i've found something new (for me) and usefull: Key Remaping. You can remap a key to do what you want, for example i've disabled the wake option of vol buttons because i listen a lot of music and every time i change the volume then the phone wake up...
Now my question is about long press remap. I've tried to use google to find anything about that but no luck, and i want to remap the long press of volume buttons while screen is off to media control (previous track and next track) and camera button to play/pause.
I had a ROM with that option, but i got some problems with it and i've changed with another, but this new rom don't have that remaps.
How can i remap that buttons?.
Thanks.

There is some mods in the themes and apps section that alow
(try searching sorry for no link)
You can use some xposed moduels too sudh as gravity box

Thanks for reply.
I've searched in apps section and I only found an exposed module and a framework, but with framework i've got bootloop. Finally I've installed ExistenZ Rom thathave that option
Greetings.

Up!!
I ask the same again :crying:
¿Someone knows what i've to edit in framework to do this?, because now i'm using another ROM and don't have this option. I know about Xposed Framework, but i want to learn how to do it without that...
Thanks!!
PDTA: I've read some post about how to do it, but for Galaxy SIII. I don't know if works on Xperia S too.

How to toggle flashlight torch with physical button when screen is off?

Hi,
Is there an xposed module, app (rooted or not) or any other trick to give me the option to turn on flashlight torch when I press and hold power button even when the screen is off,
PS , running Cm13
Many thanks!

There is a xposed module named "xposed torch" that worked on my z1c
But on the 1+3 it seems to be broken, it just softreboot itself everytime i try to switch on my flashlight with it.. so i sticked with the "V" gesture

Actually I want this on my O+X , does not seem to work, I have tried the following,
Gravitybox MM
Sense for xposed
Xposed torch
Play store apps (out of frustration)
Others
I don't know if such thing is possible with Tasker, so maybe some1 will help with that
Also, there was a Moto X feature called Chop Twice for flashlight , is there a way to make that possible on AOSP Roms?
Many thanks!

The ResurrectionRemix ROM supports that I think...

xposed additions is the app you are looking for. I have OP3 myself and use this module for media skipping etc None of the other modules seem to work
hit thanks if I helped u

GravityBox MM works for me. Locked, screen off, power button hold and press - flash on.

Be careful if your are on OOS when you try to use Xposed additions. There are some bugs,
1. Xposed additions will make feedback vibration of touch buttons unavailable;
2. Double click power button to open camera quickly is not available anymore;
3. Maybe there is little delay when you use 'volume-'+'power button' to make a screenshot.

true, but i use it for media controls and direct dial on triple click of power button for someone special as well.. so i prefer all these over the camera shortcut provided by OP.

im using custom slider xposed module to turn on and off flash light

Xposed Torch by Wanam does work at the beginning but after being in standby a while it doesn't launch the torch. from my perspective there isn't a sufficient solution that does fully work and does not break anything else.

Do you use xposed additions for Screen Off actions? I'm curious how reliable it is while the screen is off.....does it sometimes not trigger if you have had your screen off a while?
Have you tried Xposed Physical Button Music Control module? Serves almost identical purpose.....but I occasionally run into the issue I described. I'll Re-Map a Volume Up command (while screen off) to do some action.....sometimes it won't trigger if the screen has been off a while. Anyways, I'll be doing some extensive testing between these two (almost identical) modules and report back which I find more reliable/stable. I've used Xposed Physical Button Music Control for a LONG time and noticed the screen off actions are a bit flakey

xposed additions works for me perfectly all the time,be it screen off or screen on..
PBMC didnt work for me at all.. i tried it first for mapping music controls when screen is off but nothing went right...
i tried several modules but in the end xposed additions was the best of them all...
hit thanks if I've helped you

Here is my comparison so far for both Xposed Modules (Physical Button Music Control vs Xposed Additions)
Both apps have reliability issues with Screen Off triggers. To demonstrate, keep your screen off and don't touch your phone for quite a while (30+ minutes at a minimum). Now try to do a Screen Off trigger. It likely won't work. Now turn your screen on and off again. Try a Screen Off trigger immediately. It will work. So obviously, something is disabling/sleeping these apps after the phone goes idle for a while thus preventing these Screen Off triggers from working. I have no idea how to solve this. I've already added both apps to the Whitelist for Doze battery optimization. It is rather frustrating having this issue.
Both apps are NOT able to use the Home Button as a trigger while the screen is off
Xposed Additions CANNOT use the Home Key as a trigger....period. PBMC can.
Seems PBMC does not function on OOS....but it does work on CM based ROMs.
Both apps can play nicely together. So if you like specific things from both apps, you can use both.
Conclusion....they both perform pretty equally. I'll continue to investigate the reliability issues. There has GOT to be something we can do about this. I might write the xposed additions developer since he seems to be a OP3 user.

I use Gravitybox MM on OOS 3.2.7 and don't have any problems.

Button remap - Long Press "back" = kill, Single Tab "app switch" = open menu

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-

Custom navbars not working

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
