Capacitive Buttons - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi,
For people who own a Mi , can we switch the two capacitive buttons?
I would like that the Back Button is on the left and the MultiTask One on the right

There's setting for it, you can switch them, assign them to some other task(short press and long press).

Where is it? I couldn't find any way to switch them. In the settings menu I can only see the setting to assign what should happen when you long-press them

It's the top one, "navigation buttons", you can set overview button on the left, back button on the right, and vice versa.

[MOD]Enabled soft keys/Disabled Cap buttons **7.29 update posted**

This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

Until the backlight params editing is backported to CM10, you might want to try Screen Filter. I used that app since CM9 to disable the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Cheers!
Edit: Scrap that. It seems that it doesn't work (yet) on CM10. I'll try searching for something else.
Edit 2: Success! Adjbrightness works flawlessly!

Yeah, I noticed you left the menu button enabled. I've edited mine to disable the menu button as well, so it's all off for me.

i left mine on cuz there are times and places i need to enter menu but the 3 dots aren't there. maybe leo can add menu to the soft keys, ill ask.
In what app(s) does that occur? I haven't checked every app on my phone, but it's all good so far. The 3 dots show up either next to the soft buttons or on the actionbar.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.
What if we want to revert back to using the softkeys after flashing this? is there a way to reverse it?

just reflash CM10 without wiping data, should bring everything back to stock.
need not apply the full rom, to undo everything (including navigation buttons):

Powermenu (hold power for 2sec.) -> screenshot.
Or like they say vol+ powerbutton.

I'm afraid this just is not true. Perhaps it's meant to be, but it does not work on stock Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Note N7000. None of the method suggested works (not Power/hold, not Vol-/Power, and not Vol+/Power). Some sites have suggested that Power/hold gives you a menu which includes Screenshot, but that also is not true.
Does anyone have a solution which works?

Volume down + power works just fine. If you still have issues, then you could activate the screen shot in power menu.

Volume down + power button works on cm 10.2 nightly.
Also work "hold power button and select screenshot", but you have to enable it on settings(at power menu in Buttons )

Unfortunately that does not work either: whichever button is pressed first performs its usual function, and holding both of them just results in the lock/power-off window.

As explained, this just results in whichever button is pressed first having its usual effect. Keeping both held just gets me the power-off menu.

I don't have any entry for screenshots in the power-button menu. And I don't have any config menu called Buttons where I can enable anything. Where is this Buttons menu? There is a Button Action menu in General, but Screenshots is not one of the available settings.
in cm 10.2 -> settings->buttons->power menu-> screenshot(put a check mark)
i dont know if 10.1 have or not this.

Possible to Change task manager button to menu button?

Is there a option or rom that has a feature to change the task manager button to the menu button?
I hate that there is no menu button. Most apps have a separate menu key, but sometimes I just need my own button.
Thanks.
root phone, xposed additions, can remap all buttons.
If not rooted, long press former menu key to get to menus.

Just did a step by step with drawn on screen shots but just realized I can't post them on XDA Lol. I think I need more Posts or something. Either way. You should see:
1. Buttons
2. Add new Key
3. Press the recent apps button. Click ok
4. Add new condition.
5. Screen on
6. Go to click. Then change it to menu.
7. Go to long press. Change that button or disable it.

Step 6, I only saw app list and nothing that referred to menu.

Found the Menu Button

Several release ago Samsung did away with a dedicated menu button. Many of the application developers enhanced their apps to have the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner to allow touch access to the menu button.. In the S6 those apps with out a menu button had a floating circle with the 3 dots. Now with the note 5 I could not find a button combination or the floating circle for apps like moon reader. Previously you would press and hold the multitasking button. NOW you need to press and hold the back button. Why do they need to change this so often and not communicate it? Oh well but there is your answer
Thank you so much... I've been searching for the answer to this question since I got mine on the 18th!!!

Oh man ... thank God you found it ... was missing it in my s6 edge ... got my note5 today and its back bcz of you ...
I have held the back button on my note 5 and nothing comes up.
Ya, I suffered with this one for a while, coming from the Note 3. Then I saw someone on a video use the back button hold.
Take this site for example, subscribing used to be a breeze on my other device but long press back, the page will be back instead. Same goes to other app, the back and menu combination really a bad choice by samsung.

Menu button on note 5
I have long pressed the back button on my note 5 but it doesn't come up. I need it for game apps I play. Please help. Thanks.
@Alliswhat44 Its not a big deal with 'All in One Gestures' app in the store. You can combine the features of buttons(Home, Back, Recents, Volume up and down) as you wish. Even the Back button can be Recents..
Hi, I downloaded all in one gestures. I enabled it. Do all boxes have to be checked?

I enabled it all but it does not show what I want. I play shoot bubble deluxe and I need the menu button in the game to use skips and play levels already played

I think your device is not rooted, is it? You can manage Recents button as Menu(If rooted I think) with selecting 'Single Tap or Long press'. The app is perfectly usefull and working.
BTW there is an app name is 'GMD Gesture Control' Thats spectacular as pro.
some apps don't support it...would just quit the app
Correct. If the app uses an on screen menu button anyway (disregarding the android prop setting), then the long key press menu button doesn't work. Is really an app issue at that point.

many thanks!
I thought the long press of the back button brought up the menu?
Has no one made a tweak to change recent back to the menu button like they did with the note 4?
