Is it possible? With root maybe?
I suppose with root, you could do it. You would just reassign the button mapping, which can be done with Gravitybox, for single tap. However, it obviously won't change the look of the button, just the functionality.

In fact, I dont think tapping on the screen is a good way to take photo, i would rather use the volume key or ptt key to do it? any one can help? thanks a lot!!!!
I have used the key remap to remap, but i dont know how to assign the key to a tapping on the screen.....................
if you use the rhodiumkeyboardcontroller found in /themes and apps/software worth installing on tp2, alls you have to do is use it to map the camera application to your push to talk button. where it asks you to assign a program, just take it to /windows/start menu/programs/multimedia/camera.ink or whatever path from win/start menu/ progs that leads you to camera.ink depending on how your start menu is arranged. then your ptt button will open your camera application, and pushing it again will take a photo. and you wont have to hold the ptt button like you do the onscreen button to take a pic.
Now, I know I'm probably the only one who wants to do this, but...
Just coming from an EVO LTE, and I used my App Switcher button all the time (after moving to CM10 of course), and would love to be able to remap Menu to App Switcher for fast multitasking.
Similarly, having done so, I'd like to enable the App Overflow ("three button menu" button) in apps. I'd like this even if the hardware keys can't be remapped, as the S-Pen doesn't work with the hardware keys, and it would give me one more on-screen thing I can use.
Thanks!
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?
Ok so our phone has more hardware buttons than most phones. How do you guys remap buttons without unlock or root? Is there a compatible app or tweaking settings manually thru command line to remap the buttons? What other solution is there? Will rooting provide more flexibility in this regard?
With root you can use Button Mapper from Playstore. Without root you are pretty lost i guess.
without root i could still use an app from the store to swap recents and back buttons, and add couple of extra navvar buttons..
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

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
