In my former smartphones I always had the back button to the left and the app switching button to the right. Is it in any way possible to swap their positions?

Hi! I've been trying to remap my keys (for fun of course). I've been editing system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl. but when i remapped and rebooted it still uses the keys as if nothing was changed. Are there more files i need to change?

When you press menu it will go back, and when you press back it will act like menu button, confusing at start but i am used to it now. Using it as i forgot to make a nandroid lol. Will maybe make an aroma script so you can pick reverse the buttons or uninstall (reverse to default).

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button
Hi developers ,
I am really thankful for all your contributions that you've made for all of us , I am coming with a new request to see if this is possible ,
I've got mod which helps me to make the Volume rocker button on note to work as previous and next tracks changer when screen is off ,
If this is the case i am looking forward to check with you guys if its possible that when the screen is off can we make the power button for long press as Play Pause ?
This should be possible but power button could actually switch off the phone as well.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Hey, i dont know much about those things, but i dont think menu button would be a good choice since it is a capacitive button... I'd rather use the home button, cause theres no further use on longpressing it on the lockscreen?
peace

Hi,
I would like to disable the hardware buttons from my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 since I already made the softkeys visible by changing the /system/build.prop file.
I found HowTo's for other Samsung devices. All of them proposed a modification of the /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl file by deactivating the mappings for the keys 139, 158 and 172 (see this thread). Unfortunately, this isn't working for my Tab 3.
Can someone give my advice in this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Greeny
Im curious what edit you made to enable the soft keys
Sent from my SM-T217S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the end of /system/build.prop. If you are interested in the source I could post a link, even if I'm not sure whether external links are accepted.
I've got mine disabled and all you do is put # in front of the key mappings.
What I want to know is how to switch the back key (which defaults to the right) and the menu key (which defaults to the left). It's a pain to have the back key on the right.
Anyone know how to swap them, I've tried different steps for galaxy devices and nothing's working.
Thanks for your answer, but this isn't working for me. I prepended the 3 lines with a # and rebooted the device. But the three hardware buttons are still working

Do you talk about the mappings in the Generic.kl file? I just opened the other *.kl files and noticed keymappings for the same keys in many other files, like vnc-kbd.kl

Open up sec_touchscreen.kl and place a # in front of key 139 MENU and key 158 BACK.
This will disable the Samsung buttons.

When you added the soft keys did it make the launcher bar at the bottom move up and overlap the page dots for the home pages? I turned them on in gravity box and thats what happened.
Thanks

The soft keys do not overlap the page dots, but they are now really close (see attached screenshot).

ok good to know, thanks.
I am having some issues with overclocking here on stock ROM so need to consider switching to custom, since as rooted I won't get official update anyway
the major thing with custom is that there is no multi-window available which I heavily use .
Any way to do this without root on the Note 4? I believe HTC offers this option on their M7 and M8 phones, so I really hope Samsung did the same since they switched it.
yes please! I believe it can be done but uncertain without decompiling the app doing some recoding and then recompile the results into a .apk file.
Hold the button down....it's menu with a long press of the multitasking button

haha me too i want menu one touch menu and recent long press of home button
I didn't realize the back button still did menu with a long-press. Glad to have learned that rather than having to search the 4 corners of the screen to see where the menu in whatever app is hidden.
When root is found, it should be a simple thing to flip the functionality of it right?
Also, anyone else wish there was a flashlight quick toggle in the notification tray?
Is there a way to replace the home key whit the left touch key button?
Otherwise, do you know any Rom for s4 mini that do that?
I found it much confortable to close open apps/windows
EDIT: Im on CM13 right now.

I would like to click it instead of the center button to show open apps and close them. Like new android phones do.

Apparentely it's possible to put the virtual buttons inside the phone screen..but not to change the actual touch buttons.
It's a valid alternative, but not what i'm looking for btw thanks for the support @rookie12 !
