Recents key long press for "menu" - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

Anyone know if this can be changed through settings (or even an app of some kind)? I can't find anything on it.
I really miss this feature from my S5, especially since I don't ever use split screen which is the default for longpress on the S6

also searching for a solution

I agree. Sorry no answer... but I have seen several threads elsewhere on the topic and this is driving me nuts. From a user perspective: I was previously able to surf on my phone and bookmark / share via the menu key with only one hand. Now I can't because of the change in this key. This is not just a case of stubborness: one handed usability is important for many groups - from the physically compromised to late-night-feeding mothers. I hope a developer can offer a work around soon.

If you're willing to root, you can install LMT for one handed control, including menu button access and the thumb reach stretching pointer.

[Sug] Possible to remove time from top right of notification bar?

Hi guys,
I was going to post this in general, but as it is possible development I thought it may best be suited here. Sorry if it isn't!!
Anyway, I'm no developer so I don't know if this is even possible, hence why I thought I'd throw it out there.
What I was thinking is, as a user of the flip clock and also using Stericson lock screen, I have the time in full view of my home screen / lock screen all the time.
The fact it is in the top right corner is of no use to me really. It's also apparent that when you have several icons in the notification bar (especially when plugged in on USB) it gets crowded and tends to hide alot of them.
What is the feasibilty of removing / hiding the clock from the notification bar, and moving the 3g/wifi/bt/battery icons into the right hand corner?
Would this actually be possible? I know this wouldn't suit all users but some people may like this as it would give more space for other icons to appear there.
Any Devs care to elaborate on this?
Thanks.
If you wanted to hide the time, you could just make it transparent using Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Of course, that wouldn't help with the crowded icons.
I like the time in the right corner, useful for when I'm browsing the web on a break from work.
Or try alternative home app: Home++

Sadly this has been asked quite a few times, problem is they wont answer even though people want it.
I guess for now home++ is a good alternative - though I do like using advanced launcher, so removing it properly from the notification bar would be better.
I guess it's just one of them things - although an official yes or no it can't be done would be nice from a dev?!
Thanks.

There are a number of ways to do this. Are you rooted?

One way that's pretty simple and is (usually) effective, is to go to /system/usr/keylayout, open Generic.kl with a text editor, and just manually make your changes.
Make sure to backup the original file first, then in your text editor, look for MENU, APP_SWITCH, SEARCH, etc...
Say you want the key that currently opens recent apps to instead be a menu key, you'd find where APP_SWITCH is currently assigned, and replace it with MENU.
After you've made your changes, make sure the file's permissions are set to rw-r--r--, and reboot. I can't guarantee this will work, as I don't own this device, but it's always worked for me on other Samsung devices, and if not, well, that's why you backed up the original file.

[GUIDE] Alert Slider - Partial Workaround

Since I had the Oneplus 5 I noticed the alert slider's functionality is pretty dumb. I have looked everywhere for a way to have it in silence/vibrate/all and I finally found a partial solution.
This lets you get SILENCE/ALL/VIBRATE in this order from top to bottom positions
Download OnePlus Mode Switcher.
The app lets you set the volume of the standard "ALL" setting to vibrate. It works in the background and you can set it to open on startup.
Set the slider options like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This has been tested and is working on OOS 4.5.10, but it should also work on any other OOS custom rom.
For those who need a much more customizable slider, I suggest MoKee or RR. These roms have the MoKee slider options but they're not OOS based.
don't see how getting used to op5 slider is hard. tbh it's logical that bottom is and top is mute.

It's badly implemented. It doesn't reflect the standard Android settings of silence/vibrate/all.
It breaks all those apps that revolve around those statuses, since they didn't even flag the position change the same way.
The priority setting is useless (for me), it doesn't allow you to mute apps, and so if you're in a meeting you can only choose between them hearing everything or you not hearing anything.
The volume in all/priority can't be set to 0. This is basically them brute forcing a design flaw on us so that we use it as they wanted it.
The settings cannot be changed without Xposed [which for now is unstable and so the old module devs (for 3/3T) are waiting]. This is just stupid, we're on android, not iOS. It's literally just a triggered action, they could change it in maybe 3 minutes counting system bootup and IDE opening time. How much money is that, less than 1$?
I agree. I don't ever use the slider 'cause it's useless..

Kindle Fire HD 7 2012 version Launcher Debug on startup

Hi
I know mykindle is old but my autistic son uses it and he cannot handle change thus still using it.
I have no idea how this has happened at all. BUt now it seems when I reboot the device, the notifications bit has a notice saying "tap to access launcher debug settings".
When I tap this it takes me to those settings (which I have never seen before in any of the settings area) and I can quit out of it.
Why is this happening and is it a sign of a bigger problem?
Just to be clear, while I do have ADB enabled (in case I brick it and need to use kindle-unbrick in the future) nothing else is unusual. It is not rooted and I have never put a custom rom/system/launcher on it at all.
I can only guess that this change has accurred because either a game I have installed has tweaked something, or, a particular tablet-crash has pushed this into being.
So is it a problem? Can I stop it? Why has it happened?
Any thoughts would be massively appreciated please.
Thank you.
Alex
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, I'm happy to help you. I also use a Kindle Fire HD 7 2012, so you can expect the best results. IDK the reason of the problem, it appeared in the same way as yours. But the fix is so simple, take a closer look at it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Long-tap at the notification (some program appeared at the top, don't pay attention to it):
Tap "Manage Notification", as the arrow above suggests.
So, you must have the same screen, applications may differ. Tap the "Off" toggle in the right corner after the "Launcher", as arrow suggests, and go to the home screen. When you will look at notifications, a message must disappear.
If you experience any further problems, let me know. I'll try to respond in my free time.
And thank you for posting the question, without it I couldn't solve it (really).
Have a nice day!

Question Changed Samsung for Motorola/Google, worst choice ever, reasons!

First of all, I will say that Google is the most arrogant/ignorant company that I've ever heard of. There are milions of complaints regarding the "NavBar stupid/sht pill"/StatusBar. Why, the hell would I invest in a phone with good screen to body ratio and dpi, if I cant take full advantage of it. Before Android 12/13, you could easily remove statusbar/navbar(pill) the way you wanted. But, Google decided they are the boss and removed all those possibilities to remove those via adb. Another thing, if I try to use a custom gesture app, I can only use the diagonal gestures because the normal ones(left,right) cannot be overriden because Google never allowed that. How shty can a company be to not even care of their users and even do everything against them, really!!
Another thing, is that I still dont have Android 13 on my Moto Edge 30 Ultra while I got bored of it when having S20 Ultra! And another thing is that touching the screen doesnt always wakes it up. Maybe is some sort of measure from Motorola to conserve battery because I dont find them capable of doing something good as Samsung did. Is anyone else experiencing/experienced this?
As I said, on my S20 Ultra I could do all the things, apps like System UI Tuner, cmd commands and gesture, everything worked flawlessly such that I always had a FULL immersive experience. After I changed the company, everything is havoc! Google, shame on you!
If you guys emphatize with how I feel, please thumbs up! Take care!
Look how ugly it looks like. 3 years later and will be in the same situation if we rely on these thieves!!

1. I can hide my navigation bar via Settings
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. No issue with tapping the display to wake up screen. Btw, it's not double tap but single tap.
3. I LOVE the new Motorola homescreen especially the new Motorola widget. Everything is there - the battery widget, alarm widget, weather and clock in one. Very consistent, minimal and uncluttered. Good job, Moto!
