OK BUtton?

I have searched and read almost every post regarding remapping of ok button.
Can anybody tell me if ok button on front side of hermes near call buttons and softkeys be remapped.
I am aeb buttons but it doesnt have option for it?
any thing else i can try?

I think ae buttons have the option to do what you want...
When you go to the configuration window where you can set the funtion to each button even that the front ok button is not listed there is an option of custom button or something like that, select that option, then pres the button you want (the fron ok) and then asign the function you would like to add...
Sorry I could not be more detailed but I only use this software for very few time because when instaled, the scroll wheel didn't respond...
hope it helps...

As far as I know, nobody has published a way to do this. However, If you havent already, there is a way to hack the PTT button, which I use to change the volume. You can assign any function that you want for buttons 1-5 @ start-->settings-->personal-->buttons. There is also a cab in the hermes section to remap your softkeys. You may want to talk to Sleuth255 (he was the one who hacked the PTT) to see if there is a way to do this for the ok button.

Worked like a charm
100x thanx 2 u
i know this forum rocks

hi guys, i am also looking for something similar to this. i have noticed that when i press the ok button on the front, or on the keyboard that it only minimises the program rather than closing it. now the background behind that is i have HTC X button on LVSW 3.30.0.9 (soon to be 3.30.2.1). and that is set to close the program.
EDIT: i stand corrected. i just googled ae button and noticed it was a program. i shall try that and see how it goes.

I have been looking for something to do this since the Hermes dropped.. I would love to find a way to make a press on OK minimize the app and a hold on it to close the app.. Still nothing?
Edit: I second the edit above...

that one may be possible with a combination of x button and ae button.... i havent tried it and am still trying things with ae button. but it may be possible.

ok. i am using ae button now and have noticed a few things.
one. the memory manager is pretty cool
two. when i go to add the front ok button above the 'end' key, it comes up with button #4075. when i try to remap that as 'close active application' it does nothing. not even minimise it.
three. it works when i remap the internet key to 'close active application' it closes it completely.
four. the same happens when i add and try to remap the ok button on the keyboard to the same thing.
and five. i notice that the button #4075. the ok button on the front, says 'change volume or.... 1. close active application'
which is odd.
the rest of the remapping works well. except for added the ok buttons.

[APP] A nice compliment to Trackball wake

This is not my app, but it's a great find and I just thought I would share
Paired with trackball wake, you never have to touch the power button again
Screen Off and Lock
Let's you lock the screen (turn it off) via a long press of the search button. Although there is NO widget, the app icon can be placed onto the home screen or a dock and essentially does the same exact thing.
So far it's working wonders for me, and is an awesome combination with Track Pad Wake.
If you like the app be sure to give it 5 stars and if your feeling generous buy the donate version. Links are provided below if your interested
NOTE: **Before you can UNINSTALL this app, please go to "Setting > Location and Security > Select device administrators" and then uncheck "Screen Off and Lock"**

Might work for you...

I haven't used the power button on my phone in weeks! Hah, and I use LauncherPro so I assigned the app to a swipe gesture on the dock so there's no need to long press the search button either

[Q] possible to remap hard keys?

Hi,
I use the menu key a whole lot more than multi task. How hard would it be to remap the multi task key to act like a menu key? Is it even possible?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

If the apps is according to the new ICS look, Holo I think the theme is called, then the menu button is on the top right of the screen.
Seems to me it would be a hassle to press a button on the bottom right and then move youre finger to the top right to actually use the menu.
On apps not yet fitted for ICS I can understand what u mean, however this problem should hopefully be almost gone within not too long.

Would love to remap the useless.most recent programs button to act as a google search button, much like a long press on menu on my s2 does...

There are several threads about this. Here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480130
I just got my One X, so haven't tried anything myself.
But being able switch songs with the volume buttons while locked is what I'm looking for.
A must when you're outside in heavy rain or snow.

[Q] Manually Changing the Quicklaunch Key to Camera in CM11

I'm on Madmack's 11/26/13, CM11 build and I'm trying to remap the extra quick launch button we have above the volume rocker on CM11 - basically I want it as my camera button.
I've been able to do this on other phones by manual editing the proper keyboard layout file.
The hardware keyboard layout file for the LGOP on CM11 appears to be: /system/user/gk-keypad-8064.kl
The quick launch button is Key 250 and by default its set to ASSIST (which launches the Search function oddly enough).
Normally just changing ASSIST to CAMERA and rebooting is sufficient to launch the CAMERA functions - doesn't work with my LGOP on CM11. However, once changing Key 250 to CAMERA, it does take pictures if you manually launch the camera app.
Switching it to Key 250 CAMERA WAKE oddly enough makes the quicklaunch button function exactly the same as when you press down on the screen for 2+ seconds and the home screens shrink to the center and Wallpapers/Widgets/Settings pop up.
I can tell you that changing Key 250 to POWER, VOLUME_UP, VOLUME_DOWN, HOME all work... just can't get the CAMERA function to work.
Any thoughts or ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

I have no idea but this is would be great. I hope someone can chime in to help you out.

hey, decompressed an old nandroid of the stock rom...
i'm pretty sure i had the quicklaunch button set to the default "press to launch camera/press again to snap a pic" action, and my gk-keypad-8064.kl had key 250 set to QUICK_CLIP

Can we set it to a particular app? particularly to display recent apps?

Isn't there a "buttons" section in the phone settings? I used that to switch search function to camera and tested, it works great. Only downside is its not a 2-step shutter button lol.

Hi have you tryed changing it to camera wake_dropped? ive remapped another LG phone and that was the code i used. ill try it now aswell

A similar question
In looking through the forums, this thread seemed to be the closest to users having a similar situation to myself. I have an LGOP running the latest nightly of CM11 and I would also like to map the quick search button to a different function. While there are buttons options to set it to launch the camera app, it launches the default camera app and I would like it to launch the latest version of Google's camera app. Does anyone know how to do this?

Gravity box I think can pull it off

WEll I was searching for something similar, to remap our Quick button and assign anything to it! and I have found an xposed module which can do the job here you go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.xposed.additionsgb

Navigation Bar Questions

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.
