[XPOSDE MODULE] 3dot menu mod

c3k · Sep 14, 2013

*** This mod is designed for device / rom that didn't have a onscreen navbar (i.e.: samsung rom) ***
If your rom already have a navbar, you should already have 3dot menu enabled and enabling this mod will only hide your navbar!

This mod will enable 3dot menu button in all application (using a 0 height navbar), enjoy!

Side effects:

Samsung use fixed layout for their apps, and when a navbar is enabled we got unexpected results, can't do nothing about this... (see screenshot)
after enebling the mod screenshot combination change to AOSP style: Power+MenuDown

So will this overlap applications and sit on top of them?

No, it's a guideline suggested since android 3.0 honeycomb, so the app had to support it.

Your package will not install from the xposed installer...claims: Package name is incorrect. Downloaded it.tnx.xposednavbarmod Expected it.tnx.xposednavAbarmod

Really wanted to use this, but when I enable it and reboot, I repeatedly get the error message "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped". The taskbar does not load and my phone is extremely slow.

I'm running stock rooted VZW SGS4.

Major issue with Samsung rom (s3).
Recent apps menu does not show ( long press menu). Also the contacts (phone app) are overlapped by the menu button, cannot see the first contact.

Canot take screenshots either...

Otherwise, great idea and app.

I use an S3 4.2.1 (wanam) for deploy and have no issue with long press

Thank you for reporting, I'm using other dialer app so I haven't noticed before

I've notice this too adding my last screenshot yesterday: after enebling the mod screenshot combination change to AOSP style: Power+MenuDown

Doesn't work on my HTC One.

I think you can modify the layout with a Xposed mod...

See my thread for changed layout of Xperia apps with 0px navbar.

yes, sure, you can do almost everything with xposed

but I don't use samsung apps and I have no time to study each layout version for each devices and keep them updated...this is a generic mod...

Would it be practical to include a 'blacklist' feature which could be used to exclude apps like the Samsung ones which cause a problem with the screen layout?

Apart from this issue this is a great module!

punt qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in your build.prop and disable my mod

Would it be possible for you to make an xposed mod that removes the 3 dot for devices such as Nexus 4 with softkeys. On my nexus 4 I use a menu button in my softkeys so I want to get rid of the 3 dots

randommmm · Oct 4, 2013

I love it.... thanks for this great hack

Have same long press issues as well for recent apps. Have tried several ROMs for the T-Mobile S3 T999, all running 4.1.x Touchwiz base (need WiFi calling).
Long press opens Google voice search or s-voice depending on install
