@NimeniAltu im using auroro rom for s4 and there is 3dot menu...Hi guys, this is a very easy guide on how to enable the 3 dot menu button in S5 ported apps and on stock touchwiz apps without xposed modules. I tested it on I9505 but should work also on I9500...
Pre-requested :
1.Java
2.Rooted phone
3.Framework-res.apk
4.Any root file explorer
How-to:
1 - Take framework-res.apk located in \system\framework\ and decompile it using apktool or apk manager
2 - Go into \res\values\bools.xml
3 - Search for:
Code:[COLOR="Blue"]<bool name="[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]config_DisableHWKeyOptionMenu[/COLOR]"[COLOR="blue"]>false</bool>[/COLOR]
and change it to
Code:[COLOR="Blue"]<bool name="[/COLOR][COLOR="red"]config_DisableHWKeyOptionMenu[/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]">true</bool>[/COLOR]
4 - Save file and recompile framework-res.apk
5 - Push the recompiled framework-res.apk to the device and reboot, now you should have 3 dot menu button in all s5 ported apps/stock touchwiz apps.
Now long pressing on home button won't bring up the recent apps, it will bring up google now. So now we need to remap the menu key to bring up the recent apps.
1 - Open /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl with root explorer and change
Code:[COLOR="blue"]key 139[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]MENU[/COLOR]
to
Code:[COLOR="Blue"]key 139[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]APP_SWITCH[/COLOR]
2 - Save file and reboot. Now menu key will bring up recent apps, just like S5.

Have a S5 G900W8 with kk4.4.2
Don't have a folder named values in res. I did search though for books.xml and it just doesn't exist.
Any idea how to do it on this model ?
Being my first post here, I can't post normal outside links so you can see my framework-res.apk

It doesn´t work for me. I get a bootloop with the recompiled framework-res.apk. Can anyone help me. My Phone I9505 with Lollipop 5.0.1 stock rom. THX for help.
Im using the same tools and not having any problem decompiling/recompiling
while recompiling my framework-res.apk i get all png images error its telling png images malformed
If u get a bootloop -> open the recompiled framework-res.apk with winrar and change the META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml with the original files from the original framework-res.apk and save.
It works for me.

for the divider line you have to decompile framework. Then go into FRAMEWORK-RES.APK/VALUES/STYLES.XML and insert this lines instead originals
sorry tapatalk doesn't recognize code...see the image

Here's an easy one Decompile Framework-res.apk then Go to res/Values/ Styles.xml and open the file using notepad++ , Look for the line # 3306 or <item name="divider">@color/transparent</item>and change it toCode:[B][COLOR="DarkGreen"]<item name="divider">@drawable/tw_divider_popup_vertical_holo_dark[/COLOR]</item>[/B]
Next look for the line # 3313 or <item name="divider">@color/transparent</item>and change it to. Save ! Compile /Sign ! Done ,Code:[B][COLOR="DarkGreen"]<item name="divider">@drawable/tw_divider_popup_vertical_holo_light</item>[/COLOR][/B]
