I personally haven't heard of any way to add a 4th button to the navigation bar for screenshots. That sounds like something that might be in a custom rom if it was even available. The other option I know of would be to use Xposed Framework with the GravityBox module. With GravityBox you can set a long press or double tap on any of the nav bar buttons to trigger a screenshot. You can add a tile in the Quick Settings for screenshots. And you can also add it to the Advanced Power Menu (power button). That's what I can think of at the moment other than finding an app or widget of some kind to put on your home screen.

This ROM brings the nexus 4 bottom toolbar. How do you hide this toolbar? Is taking realstate and it perform the same actions as the physical buttons.
Any idea?

Not sure of you can turn it off yet in settings.
You can use expanded desktop or wait for an official release. This beta is ported from the Nexus version (which doesn't have any physical buttons) which is why the Nav bar is in this ROM for now.

In the PACMAN thread it states you can reduce the DPI of the Navbar to 0 in the Hybrid Settings - I tried it when I had it and that worked.
The ROM itself forced apps to have the 3-dot menu within the app UI itself - didn't like that too much. Anyone know how to get rid of that?

Omg this is the best idea I've ever seen on any mobile forum...
Flash on if home button is pressed for say 2 seconds and screen/phone remains in sleep/lock status, ingenious.

if you want to disable home button waking device use root browser lite go to system/usr/keylayout/ gpio-keys.kl you will have to open it as a text file then with inbuilt text editor. go down to bottom were it says (key 172 home wake ) and just delete the word WAKE then press menu and save and exit . reeboot phone and then the home button will be disabled... :thumbup:

Hi guys,
Why don't just do this manually ?
1) Open Root Explorer
2) Navigate to: /system/usr/keylayout/
3) Press 'Mount R/W'
4) Long hold 'gpio-keys.kl' and choose "Open in Text Editor"
5) Remove "WAKE" from the line "172 HOME WAKE"
6) Back out, Save, Reboot

[Q] ROMS that can take screenshot WITHOUT using hardware button

I want to take screenshot without using hardware button (vol down+power), for example long press navigation bar or any other on-screen shortcuts.
I have tried AOKP rom but unfortunately the navigation bar doesn't have shorcut to screenshot.
Thanks a lot!

In some ROMs (like AOKP) you can edit the power menu to have a screenshot button.
It's buried in there somewhere, I'm using a stock MMuzzy ROM so I don't have the power to do that.
It's not exactly what you wanted, but you can hold down the power button and then take a screenshot with the button in the menu.

Can any ROM do this without even long pressing the power button?

Not that I know of, however, you can get an app like Screenshot Ultimate to have a button overlay, or even a button sitting static in the status bar.
Here's the trigger list to which you can set.
- Overlay icon which is visible on top of all screens (icon, button or custom icon)
- Shake
- Service icon click
- Audio
- Power connect/disconnect
- Folder listener
- Webserver
- Camera hardware button
- Long click search hardware button
- Custom shortcut
- Widget button
- Button inside the app
- Intent (Tasker support)
- Interval
- Cronjob
use any custom rom with Custom Ring Targets Settings, from there you can set a toggle to take screenshot
Cyanogenmod's navbar shortcuts can do it.
Just as you said, long pressing in the navbar (previous configuration obviously)

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.

Problem with pawitp AOSP 6.0.1 buttons issue

Let me start off by saying that this rom is so amazing. Brought back my galaxy grand duos to life. Huge difference from stock 4.2.2!!
One issue I noticed though: Press & hold home button activates recent apps AND now on tap at the same time!

and the question/problem is?
Like I said, press and hold home button is assigned for both recent app switcher AND now on tap. Which makes using now on tap impossible.

Make another 2 post and you'll be able to post/ask in the rom thread. You may have a better answer there than here, as Im not using the rom, so Im not able to provide better solution than this.
In cm12.1 under setting,there's button tab which have an option to set the button assign. See if your rom have the same option.
Edited: I just found this post, will gibe you the answer for your question.

Thanks, that was helpful.
AOSP does not have an option to change buttons. I love AOSP simplicity but the menu button is pretty useless on marshmallow. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it function as a recent app switcher instead.

I believe I read it in the aosp 6.0 thread about disabling the now on tap function, in Google setting I think. Check the link I gave, probably couple post before or after it.
