Did you explored settings?
Usually custom ROMs allows users to change behavior of every buttons.

Changing the long press/double tap behavior ~ Galaxy S2

Hi,
I've changed the behavior of standard hardware buttons from /system/usr/keylayout.kl. But what about the long press behavior, or double tap?! I want to hold Home button for rotate screen, and hold Menu button to anything else than google search.
Someone know's how?
Thanks in advice!
Well... >100 visitors but no response ))
I will just try harder to find a response to my question, like in every post that i wrote here )
Try and app called "homemyhome".
You are the MAN !!!
Thank you VERY VERY much, is a very good application, is for double tap and is very ok. If you find some for Menu button, don't ezitate to tell me...
Thanks again!
I used the app called Advanced Home Button....
Must be rooted...

[Q] Q: muti tasking button replace menu button?

Dear Developers,
I got a quick question:
is it possible to change the function of the menu button to the muti tasking function instead?
if so is it possible to be a APK file format and installation for it to work on a stock phone?
if no, then i guess it has to be rooted? if thats the case, does that mean most applications will lose the menu button? cant be the same as the Nexus phone where all applications has a on screen menu button?
OR just do a swap between the two functions? holding down the home key gives the menu function whereas the menu function gives the muti tasking function.
thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
E
It's possible, but I don't know how the menu button will show up then, and having that ugly HTC-esque navbar with one button is not the way it should be...
sorry, it i just me or anyone else finds the menu button pretty useless.
holding down the home button to bring the multi tasking up is too slow in my opinion.
would be great if someone can just switch the two functions of menu and multi.
:laugh:
thanks tho

I dont find is useless.
What i find useless is you can get the same menu just by pressing on your homescreens or longpress there, so 3 ways to get that menu up.
On the matter on what button brings up the task manager, i really dont care. After a few days i got used to it being behind the home button.

[Q] Screenshots on L7 II and CM11

Hello, is there any way to take screenshots but not pressing power button and selecting 'screen capture'? Like with stock rom with the quickmemo button, or maybe with volume button + power button.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

If you have Xposed+Gravity Box, you can configure many key shortcuts to do so. For instance, I configured double press on menu button to take a screen capture (as well as long press this key for Torch).
